HORSE-BREAKING .1 HOUSE--SENSE.
.4 horse's sense is good common sense.
.Many a man does not know half so much
about some lb lugs as a horse, and there is a
great difference in horses. The horse is not
naturally suspicions, but lie is timid when
young He learns very soon what his weap
ons are—teeth and heels—and in what his
security lies—flight. His boldness und "the
glory of hie nostrils" come when -'he rejoie
eth in his strength." With his age conies the
knowledge of his powers, and if he has never
been mastered—never made to } iald to any
will hut hi own —if he is to be tirade useful,
the struggle must ccme sooner or later, and
inan's-will or horse-will must triumph. We
think it is best to begin quite young with
colts to control them. So we advise to halter u
colt while it runs with the mare, and to do it
after feeding it carrots and sugar, until it
thinks it will get only caressing from man
kind, and has no fear of any man. The colt
submits easily, because it is the easiest and
plensantest thing he can do, provided he is
not frightened, and would as lief be led as to
i on loose if the curtailment of bis freedom is
fuade up by sweet 3or earrots. The sense of
smell in horses is very acute, and if they are
suspicious of anything, they always approach
it cautiously and smell of it. They should
be indulged in this, and harness, saddle, etc.,
should all be investigated by the nose as well
as by the eye, before a more intimate ac
quaintance is forced upon the horse. A horse
ring of 40 to 50 feet diameter is one of the
greatest aids a horse-trainer can have. In
this a horse too restive and spirited to take a
lesson may be tired ont, so as to be very do
cile. and a tired horse is much more suscepti
ble to both favors and instructiou, than one
full of vim, and fire and plav. There are a
few very simple common sense rules which,
if followed, will commend themselves to the
horse as well as to the trainer, viz :
Ist. —Always feel kindly toward a horse, no
matter what he does to you, and consequently
never show "temper." Remember the horse
knows instinctively how you feel.
2d.—Never go near a horse if you are
afraid of him, the horse will know it and take
advantage of it, before you acknowledge it
youuelf.
3d.—Never undertake anything with n
horse that you do not know you can carry
oat.
4th—"Make haste slowly," teaching the
animal what you want of him, as a child
learns its A-B-C's, one letter at. a time, being
sure that he knows each simple thing before
you attempt to teach another: and repeat les
sons often.
sth.—Reward each effort to do as you wish,
whether he means it or does it accidentally.
6th—Bo sure that it is your will ami not his
that conquers every time.
Following these rules, you may make a
horse da almost any thing, if he has not been
spoiled before you get him. — American Ag
riculturist.
A HINT ON IMPROVING AN OLD
PLACE.
Once or twice a year a visit to a
friend who came into possession of an old
farm, and who has already made great pro
gress in improving and beautifying it. Like
many places of this kind, it was enclosed in a
solid, but not very sightly stone wall. The
matter of a boundary fence was considered
by him in all points of view, and he finally
fixed npon and carried out successfully the
following , The old wall was allowed to re
main, and close to it, upon the outside, a
hedge of Norway spruce was planted. The
trees, from a nursery close at hand, were set
a year ago, in August. All weeds have been
kept closely mowed, the grass has taken a
foot-hold, and the result is, that from the
roadway proper, there is a belt of grass to
the hedge, and this has, although set in Au
gust, lost scarcely a tree, and has become so
dense as to already nearly conceal the wall
from view. The whole presents an aspect
finish and elegance, in marked contrast with
the slovenly appearance of the opposite side
of the road. The spruce hedge is protected
from injury by cattle and other causes, by
means of a few lengths of galvanized wire
stretched to temporary posts. Another year
will probably show the complete success of
this treatment of a boundary wall.— American
Agriculturist.
FARMERS NON-INVENTORS.
Timothy Titcomb, in his "Rural Life," says
that the improvements made in farming im
plements Lave not been made by farmers
themselves, but by mechanics and men of
science. The reason why the farmer has not
been foremoßt in improving the instruments
and methods of his own business is, that his
mind has been unfitted for improvement by
the excessive labors of his body. A man
whose whole vital energy is directed to the
support of mnscle, has, of course, none to
direct to the support of thought.
A man whose strength is habitually exhaust
ed by labor, becomes, at length, incapable of
mental exertion, and makes himself nothing
more than the living machine of a calling
which so far exhausts his vitality that be has
neither the disposition nor the power to im
prove either himself or his calling. A severe
and constant tax on the muscular system
tends to repress mental development and
make life hard, and homely, and unattract
ive. Now, experience proves that this ever
lasting devotion to labor is unnecessary ; and
the farmer who, instead of making himself a
slave to the soil, applies his mind to its study,
is a man to be honored. Mind must be the
emancipator of the farmer. Science, intelli
gence, machinery—these must liberate the
bondmen of the soil from his long slavery.
Then, indeed, the future, to him, will be full
of hope. The plow, under the hand of sci
ence, has become a .new instrument. The
horse now hoes th# corn, mows the grass,
rakes the hay, reaps, threshes, and winnows
the wheat; and every year adds new machin
ery to the.farmer's stock, to'supersede the
clumsy implements which once bound him to
his land and never ending toil. When a
farmer begins to use machinery and to study
the processes of other men, and to apply his
mind to farming so far as he can make it tak e
the place of muscle, then he illuminates his
calling with a new light, and lifts himself
into the dignity of a man.— Phrenological
Journal.

and put in a condition to keep domestic ani

browse or bark the trees, and do more damage
in a few hours than will be regained in all of
