BAIKY HORSES—"Many and varied
have been the pians, both kind and harsh,
tried lor the cure of balkiuess in horses, by
parties troubled, delayed and provoked iu
this way. Having had considerable ex
perience in the handling of such horses, 1
have found the tollowiug a good remedy.
It is easily and quickly performed aud has
never so far as I aui aware failed to
cure.
"Two persons are required for the trial.
One should hold the reins while lhe other
lasteus a short strap or rope —a halter
strap, always at hand, answers the purpose
well —just below the lctlock ot a tore leg,
then going forward, he should pull on the
strap umil the horse lifts his leel; cou
tiuuing to pull, the toot will be brought
lorward and set down a little in advance
of the other. The horse thus thrown out
of a natural position, will move fotward
to gain his equilibrium. Another pud
will cause another move forward. This
may be repealed several times, or until tne
horse moves without having the foot pull
ed lorward. Usually, the hrsi or second
pull will start him. 'three or lour such
reminders at most will do the work. When
lhe start is made it is generally an easy
one. iSoiuetin.es, however, n has the ap
pearance of the horse being in a hurry to
uet away from the provoking man with
the strap; therefore a steady hand should
manage the reins. 1 have never known
a horse under this treatment to kick or to
act mean in any other way than to try to
run. Wheu he does slait off the hold on
lhe strap should be given up. Alter hav
ing gone twenty-five or more yauis the
horse should gently be brought to a staud
and the strap removed. 1 hen try to start
him without the strap. If he does not
move iff at once apply it again. He will
,oon tne ol being thus annoyed, and will
oive you no further trouble in this way."
AND a few words about seed potatoes.
NiNt spring is certain to see seed potatoes
selling train to $lO a barrel, according
to variety and quality, and therefore it be
comes of the first imporlaucc to provide
seed this fall when possible. Very man)
acres were planted last spring on which
lhe crop was so near a complete failure; the
fieids were never dug once. But on exam
ination many ol these fields wiil be louuti
to have miniature potatoes, which though
100 small to eat, will answer at a piuch to
make a crop irjm. Indeed, undei circum
stances very lavorable to the potato crop,
that is a rich, mellow soil and a cool moist
season, seed potatoes no bigger than a com
mon h ckory nut have produced good, ami
sometimes, where the conditions were ex
ceptionally favorable, enormous crops. Ai
eepting these tacts, then, as staled, it will
pay to go over the fields and ilig and store
very small potatoes indeed for next year's
• ed. And where a crop has been made
uie smallest tubeis should be saved and not
left in lhe field or fed to slock, as is the
common custom. In dry ami hot seasons
like lhe past, wi.i -h are unfavorable to the
growth of the potato small seed should
uever be used, uor when go jd potatoes are
abundant and cheap; but when tney are
worth three or four cents a pound aud when
the season is likely to be a favorable one
and both are among the reasonable proba
bilities lor the spring of 1882, it i 9 good
economy to save and plant them.
A PLAN FOR DRAINAGE. —IJCT* some en
teiprisiug tile manufacturers se'ect careful
far.ners who own flat lands, aud make them
something like th 3 following proposition:
That the farmer make a careful estimate of
his average crops and the tile manufactu
rer propose to furnish the tile necessary to
drain thoroughly the lands designated in
the agreement, the farmer to furnish the
labor of putting in the drains at a stipula
ted price, to be paid out of the excess o'
crops grown on the laud, over and above
the average yield before agreed upon, and
the tile manufacturer agreeing to take the
balance of the increase in four or five crops
(as agreed) to cover the cost of the tile.
On level lands, where the average crop
runs low and the laud by nature is nch, it
is a safe proposition tor the tile manufac
turer if the farmer honestly performs his
I>art of the contract. On rich, level lands
that need drainage, and need it badly, it
will pay twenty-five per cent annually on
the investment, and in some instances
more.
SETTING FRUIT TREES IN THE FALL -Not
withstanding the advice often given to set
fruit tree 9in the fall, our observation is
against the practice. It works very much
like this in most cases: In ordinary lands,
when set in the fall, the cold, dry winds
evaporate all the moisture from the limbs
and trunk, and when the ground is soft
loosen the roots in the soil, or if on clay
soil the frost heaves them out because the
roots have no hold, and the result is a total
failure. If the trees must be moved or
delivered in the fall we would prefer to
bury them totally in dry soil and set in the
spring, and should expect better results
lrom so dome: and we apply this also to
small fruits, except, perhaps, strawtierries,
and they should lie set early or they also
will do better to wait tili spring, When
the ground is settled aHd in condition to
sow grain, is the best time to plant trees
of all kinds, and then, it well put in and
cared for the first season, the greatest
trouble is over.
FOR profit don't keep old fowls vcar
after year, except for exiraordinary merits.
Some few old hens are famous mothers,
and are worth keeping on that account
sometimes. But as a rule work them off
in two years or so.

44 A very good idea of the purity of
silk," says Mr. Lewis Leieh, of New Ha
ven, Conn,, "is shown by comparison.
Take a piece of ribbon—any pure color,
white, pink, gold, or aoy blight color—an
inch or two is sufficient; weigh carefully;
then weigh exactly the same amount of
silk to be tested, and as much as the latter
lalls short of measurement with the first or
pure silk it is weighted." It ie difficult to
say why silk should be adulterated at all.
The process of producing spurious silks is
itself expensive. Competition soon reduces
the weighing profits to little or nothing.
Honesty in this, as in all other matters of
business, is the best policy, and one need
only consider it for a moment to be con
vinced of this fact without looking into
the Revised Statutes or the revised edition
of the New Testament for a guiding rule.
*As St. Paul says, there is "a law written
on the Gentile heart or conscience," and
seen m every-day experience, which em
phasizes the fact.
It is a common mistake to suppose that
coral when first taken from its watery

The live coral may feel somewhat slimy in

of lime.
"CAN 1 see the lady of the house?''

Water glass, is used for a large number
of purposes in the arts, but it might find
many every day uses if it were better
known. Mixed with chalk it forma, on
drying, a compact, marble-like atone; bone
ash, zinc white, and magnesia, with water
glass, form similar stones. Ransome's
artificial stone is prepared by mixing sand
with water glass solution to form a plastic
mass, which is pressed iuto the required
shapes and then placed in a solution of cal
cium chloride; silicate of calcium is formed
and cements the grains together, the chlor
ide of sodium formed at the same time
being removed by washing with water.
With clay, lime, sand, cement, etc., solu
ble glass enters largely into the composi
tion of many of the patented artificial
stones, plastic ties, slates and so OR. The
detergent prtqxirties of water-glass make it
an excellent securing material, and it is
used to a great extent in the manufacture
ot most of the common kinds of soap.

Bull's Cough fciyrup.
Jiecent investigation respecting the
chemical constituents of tobacco fumes,
confirms the olden view of the presence of
nicotine. It has, however, been ascer
tained that nicotine appears mostly in the
form of salts, having pleoliue for their base.
Other substances of a similar composition
are generated in the act of smoking, which
seem to form under the influence of tUe
varying quantity of water in the tobacco
and its mode of combustion. Thus the use
of the pipe develops the highly diffusible
and narcotic pyridin, while cigar smoking
gives rise to larger quantities of colidin.
There exißts only one remedy for the cuie
of chronic tobacco poisoning, but that is
so prompt and efficacious that none other
is needed. Uufortunately there exists
also a very great and frequently an insur
mountable prejudice among smokers against
its employment, it is the abstinence from
tobacco.
