Horse Breaking.
It may lie accepted as a rule, having f w
if any exceptions, that it is most profitable to
breed the best descriptions of horses. These
cau only lie obtained from first class animals,
and even the use ol such will not be sufficient
without the addition of the exercise of con
siderable skill and good judgment in the rear
ing and management generally.
Notwithstanding the unquestioned and mani
fest truth of this position, many act in eontra
trariety to it, and continue to breed from in
ferior animals. Many permit themselves to in
dulge in such a short-sighted economy and in
such erroneous calculations as lead them to
think they cannot afford for breeding purpo
ses anything but old and broken down mares.
And then the impression seems to be very
general that perfection or good qualities in the
sire will counteract and redeem any defect in
the dam. That the sire does exercise a pow
erful influence on the general appearance of
the progeny is not to be denied, this being
most marked and manifest in the general out
-I'nes nnd in color. Hut the qualities of tcm
jcr, disposition, endurance, courage and oth
ers of like nature are generally more evidently
derived from the dam. A gentleman with a
quick eye for good points in a horse has sta
ted that in repeated journeys through some of
the Western States he has seldom seen any
superior, or even any really good horses. —
Those States, or those portions of them which
arc situated upon the main thoroughfares,
seem to abound in all kinds of half-bred and
defective horses, which would be of small value
in the best Eastern markets.
To raise good horses it has often been said
—but needs to be said again—we must begin
with sound and good materials. Both horse
and mare must be free from any constitutional
or transmissible vice or defect, such as spavin,
ring-bone, contracted feet, heaves, or any af
fection of the breathing apparatus. If either
parent is thus diseased, or otherwise defective
or unsound, we cannot obtain a sound proge
ny. Occasionally an animal may be produced
which may appear to be sound and healthy,
and may continue to appear so until hardship,
ill-fare, or the attack of some disease brings
the defective constitution or hereditary taint
sooner or later to tiie open light.
While so many errors continue to be com
mitted in the breeding of horses ; while so few
possessed of the requisite skill, tact, means and
good judgment, are engaged in the business,
it cannot be otherwise than that it might be
carried on with no small profit by any possess
ed of the skill, tact, convenience and judg
ment, which arc necessary for the highest suc
cess. A large number, or a majority of pur
chasers, have discrimination enough to discern
between the offspring of parents of good con
stitution and the most valuable points, and
the offspring of parents defective in these par
ticulars. In addition to a proper selection of
animals to breed from, there other tilings es
sential to rearing horses of the most desirable
qualities. Among these we would name as
the most important proper care and feeding
during gestation, and also during the whole
period of growth from infancy to maturity.—
flic profits ns well as the satisfaction and
pleasure of the breeder, will, as a general rule,
correspond in some measure with the amount
of skill, and good judgment exercised in these
and other particulars of management.—C'-
try Gentleman.
TEA FOK SICK HOUSES. —Linseed tea is not
only a valuable restorative for sick horses, hut
it is exceedingly useful in cases of inflamation
of the membranes peculiar to organs of respi
ration and digestion ; it shields and lubricates
the same ; trunqui lizes the irritable state of
the parts, and favors healthy action. We
have prescribed linseed tea in large quantities
during the past month for horses laboring un
der the prevailing influenza ; they seemed to
derive much benefit from it, and generally
drank it with avidity. Aside from the bene
fit we derived from the action of mucilage and
oil, which the seed contains, its nutritive ele
ments are of some account, especially when
given to animals laboring under soreness in
the organs of deglution, which incapacitates
them from swallowing more solid food. In
the eveut of an animal becoming prostrated
by inability to masticate or swallow more food,
linseed tea may be resorted to, and in cases
of irritable cough the addition of a little ho
ney nukes it still more useful. In the latter
form it may be given to animals laboring un
der acute or chronic disease of the uriuary ap
paratus, more especially of the kidneys.
To Prepare Linxee/l Tea. —l'ut a couple of
liandfulls of the seed into a bueket, and pour
a gallon and a half of boiling water upon it.
Cover it up a short time, then add a couple of
quarts of cold water, when it will be lit for
use.— American Veterinary Journal.
PI IOPF.R TIME TO MANURE. —With respect to
the proper time or season for putting on farm
yard artificial and other manure that will de
pend entirely on circumstances and the con
venience of the farmer. I remember this ques
tion was ouce put to a very shrewd old far
mer by a young neighbor, who had a very high
opinion of the old man's judgment and expe
rience in farming matters ; and after stipulat
ing fur a fee in the shape of a jug of ale (which
of course, was very cheerfully paid) what
think you was the old man's reply to the anx
ious inquirer ? Why simply this : " Put it
on all the year arouud." Now, although we
may not quite agree with the farmer that all
the year about is the best time for putting on
manure, yet I think most of us agree with him
that a dressing of good manure will seldom do
harm at any season ; and no doubt by this
significant answer the old man meant to im
press upon the mind of his neighlior the high
value he placed upon this right hand friend.—
In my opinion, the In-st time for applying ma
nure of any kind (including bone dust) to
permanent pasture is alien the vegetation is
the most active, say in the months of April
and September, if the land can be spared ;
and the old fashioned custom of putting on
manure immediately after the hay is carried
off, is, I think, a very good one.— Mr. Martin.

THE ELECTRO CHEMICAL BATH,
DIRECT & TO & FRO ELECTRO MAGNETIC MACHINE.
JAMES HARRIS, ELKOTKICIAN, of Towanda, respect
fully informs the public that he has lately procured
from New York the celebrated Electro-Chemical Bath,
which has proven to be one of the most important and
wonderful discoveries of the age, from its ability to extract
minerals from the human system.
Some eight year* ago, a physician of Cincinnati disco
vered the process of extracting minerals from the body,
by galvanism ; more recently, M. Verges, of New York,
an electro-gilder, having suffered from the introduction of
poisonous minerals into his system in the prosecution of
iiis art, conceived tiie idea of removing them by the same
processes, he succeeded in doing so, and quickly recovered.
He then applied the same means to others similarly af
fected, with like results. His success exceeded his most
sanguine expectations, for not only did these Built- remove
mineral poisons, but cured many diseases, some of which
were the result of minerals, and some were not.
More recent experiments have fully confirmed the sin
gular power of this Bath to <HB\v from the system all mi
nerals that may be lodged therein, to the great detriment
of health. Very often persons are afflicted by diseases
which are beyond the comprehension of the most skilful
physicians, and which are the effect of poisonous mine
rals accumulating iu the system for years, taken in the
shape of calomel, lead, Ac. Ac.
The following are some of the diseases cured by these
ttatks: Rheumatism, Paralysis, Palsy, Painter's t'holic.
Chronic Ulcers, Glandular Swellings, Scrofula, Cancer,
Neuralia iu all it* forms, Salt Rheum and Humors of all
kinds.
He has also S. B. Smith'snewl v invented DIREt 'T A ND
TO-AND FRO ELECTRO MAGNETIC MACHINE, which
is a great improvement on the Magnetic machines hereto
fore in use. With the aid of the Bath and Machine, we
have at command all the available medical efficiency of
Electricity. The medical power of the Machine is verv
great, in "introducing medicines into the system through
the pores of the skin—applying it directly to the parts af
fected, which gives an increase of medicinal power over
that of taking it into the stomach, rendering it particular
ly efficacious ill all local diseases.
I am now prepared to apply these Bat I is, and also the
Machines, at my house in the south part of the borough
of Towanda, or I will visit patients at a distance, who are
unable by reason of disease to come to this place, t mo
derate prices.
I am also sole agent for Bradford countv. for the above
Machines. JAMES HARRIS.
