To the man who is fund of that noble animal, the horse, the stable is no mean place which is the home of his faithful servant. A part of the secret of the differences among horses may be found in the different ways they are treated in the stable. This building need not have the embellish ment of architecture, nor be made air tight ; but it should be comfortable—made to promote the comfort of its occupant. It should be well ventilated, by allowing a draught of fresh air constantly to pass through it, especially dur ing the warmer ino; ths. Do not allow the air of the stable to be made offensive and un healthy by the presence of ammonia escaping from the excrements. Keep the nif in your stable as sweet as it is in your own house ; for such is necessary for the health of a horse. Plaster of Paris used freely about the sta ble is quite desirable, both on the score of com fort and profit. It is cruel to foster a noble horse in a stable where the air is suffocating, on account of noxious gases constantly gener ating and escaping for want of a few quarts of some absorbent. The floor of the stall should not have much inclination —only enough to allow the water to pass off. The more level the surface on which a horse stands the better. It is said that "sprung knees" are occa sioned partly bv standing on steep floors in the stable. That such a floor is not pleasant for the horse, is clearly seen in the fact that when the horse will stand across his stail, in order to find the most level position. Let the horse feel as naturally as possible in the stable. lie has been furnished with a long neck, in order that he may reach down to feed, as he does in the pasture, and not that he may reach up, and pull out a small lock of hay from the rack. (Jive a horse a manger to feed out of, so that he can enjoy eating, and do not oblige hiin to steal his fodder from a rack, with narrow spaces, as though he did not deserve his keeping. It is thought that a horse will waste h'.s hay if he is f.tl from a manger ; but he will not, if he has good hay, given in proper quantities. The besr horsemen say—feed a horse as yon do yourself. Give him his breakfast, dinner and supper, with nothing between meals. It is a mistaken kindness that keeps hay continu ally before a horse. AY hen he has more hay before him than he can eat up clean, he wastes it, or eats more than his system requires. A horse should have enough to eat and then, if not in use, should stand three or four hours with nothing before him. Such a course of treatment keeps his appetite keen, and he rel ishes his dinner. Let him have a generous snpply of good bedding. A horse enjoys a good nice bed as much as a man, and why should he not have it? A good horse deserves it. Because he cannot complain sleeping in the wet and dirt of the stable, or on hard plank, let no man think that his horse docs not appreciate such favors as a good bed. He will lie down dur ing the day occasionally, if he is well cared for. For summer use, saw-dust makes excel lent bedding. It is cool, sweet and even ; and also keeps the stall in a healthy condition. A supply of fresh, clean water is indispen sable to the comfort of man and beast. I have noticed that my horse drinks the most heartily after eating her sapper, about eight o'clock in the evening. Grooming is one of the civilities of the sta ble, and ought to be attended to daily. It not only causes a horse to look well, but it pro motes health. A faithful grooming is equal to two quarts of oats. Such attention paid to a good horse is by no means like " easting pearls before swine." He who does it and treats his horse kindly, is snre of his reward.— Maine Farmer. GIVE HENS M EAT. —Many person complain that their hens will not lay, and that, notwith standing their assiduity in furnishing them with all the articles ordinarily recommended to in sure fecundity, the eggs they produce will not " half pay the expenses." Now, we presume there is something lacking, or the fowls would not run their owners in debt. IT is not gener ally understood, even by those who profess to be most deeply versed in the mysteries of " henology," that the hen being omnivorous, requires, to insure fecundity, a very liberal al lowance of meat ! When enjoying her liberty in the fields, pastures, or door-yards, the prin cipal part of her sustenance is derived from in sects, worms, &e. She partakes but sparingly at such times of grain ; and often, when that article is supplied, leaves it for the more invit ing food which nature supplies her with, in her favorite haunts. Now, if weconfinc her where the natural propensity for this description of food cannot be gratified, even though we sup ply the best of grain, and in abundance, she will cease to lay. The privation affects her health, and will necessarily be an end of pro fit until the deficiency is supplied. When fresh meat or fresh fish cannot be supplied, the com nion scraps of the butcher, which are hard and compact, can be kept any length of time, an vSwer all the desired purposes.— Xnc JCnglnnrJ Farmer. WHAT SHAME TREKS TO PLANT —For open streets and ground, the following list comprises the most choice collection. We place lirst in order those which we consider the best, all things taken into account : Silver-leaf maple, oriental plain, English and American elius, tu lip-trees, sycamore maples, sugar maples, pin oak, scarlet oak, burr oak, catalpa, linden, de ciduous cypress, liquid amber or sweet-gum, la burnum, cucumber, magnolia, Kentucky coffee tree, Ac. We omit the evergreens, as we re commeud setting them in spring, unless it be done early in autumn. Most of the above trees can be obtained of first-class nursery men, and they may all be set in spring, but we prefer this season of the year, if it can be done before the ground becomes solid. The silver-leaf maple, in its foliage, some what resembles the silver-leaf poplar, and is by many persons preferred to it. it is the most rapid growing of the maples. The other maples are well known as strong, robust growing trees, with thick, dense foliage, holding on to late in the autumn ; and they arc among the most desirable of shade-trees. ifcSf* Mrs. Duliois, in describing nn insane torn cat, says : "lie dashed under the bed, where he converted his eyes into two balls of phosphorus, his tail into a bologna sausage, while his voice assumed au ' unenrthliness ' that reminded her of the old scratch hirn™r|f " She him with the dop pail. 13tijtnc5S Curbs.

WELLES A CO. THE ELECTRO CHEMICAL BATH, DIRECT & TO-& FRO ELECTRO MAGNETIC MACHINE. TAMES HARRIS, ELECTRICIAN, of Towanda. respect fully informs the public that he has lately procured from New York the celebrated Electro-Chemical Rath, 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 years ago. a physician of Cincinnati disco vered the process of extracting minerals from the body, bv 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 his art, conceived the idea of removing them by the same processes, lie 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 Baths remove mineral poisons, hut 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 draw 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 in the system for years, taken in the shape of calomel, lead, Ac. Ac. The following are some of the diseases cured by these baths: Rheumatism. Paralysis, Palsy, Painter's Cholic, Chronic Ulcers, Glandular Swellings, Scrofula, Cancer, Neuralia in all its forms, Salt Rheum and Humors of all kinds. He has also S. B.Smith's newlv invented DIRECT AND TO-AND FRO ELECTROMAGNETIC MACHINE, which is a great improvement on the Magnetic machines hereto fore in use. With the aid of the Hath and Machine, wc have at command all the available medical efficiency of Electricity. The medical power of the Machine i- verv great, in "introducing medicines into the system through the pores of the skin—applying it direi fly 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 in all local diseases. lam now prepared to apply these Bath-, and also the Machines, at my house in the south part of the U.rough of Towanda, or I will visit patient- at a distance, who arc unable by reason of di.-ea.se to come to this plate, at mo derate prices.
