Ofallanimals, the old horse- is the worst .abused. Although he has been our most faith ful and profitable servant, yet in his old age the lash is applied to force out his Youthful vigor. The older he grOws the more he feels the lash. He is often turned out of doors to give plaid-to the colt& Too often the neglect and abuse he is subjected to, because he is a little old, results in a greater loss, than is natab up' in the care for the young horse. The last • part of 'a horse's life may be more profitable, if rightly used, than the first part. There is more comfort and less 'danger in working old hors es. \ We understand them and they . undersiand'us ; and we should be as ' %villing to conform to their nature as they are to confarrik to oar wishes. It would be more humane as well as more profitable to use them as they should be, as long as it would pay, and then take them out and shoot them down. Batlhe wicked - prac tice is to knock them about as much as they will bear add pay well, and then trade them off to some more inhuman wretch than themselves. The old servant is gone among stran gers, and he receives no sympathy ins his last extremities. Tin. WALNI'T LEAvy.s.—The fly, in= riigniftcant as in size,. and devoid of the powef of doing any great harm; is one ; of the most annoying little ifests of all the insect tribe. A urti sane() to man, the fly is the terror of the horse, whose flesh is made to quiver whenever the foot of one touches him. It is, therefore, an act of hitmanity to come to the aid of the horse, powerful as ho is, 'against the nimble assailant, the fly. Here is a recipe which is said to be an ' excel lent defence against it. At all events, 1L trial of it will not involve-much ei pense, nor _will it:do harm should it prove.unavailing as a defence to the horse. l Take two or three small handfuls of walnut leaves; upon which poir two or three quarts of cold waterl ; let it infuse one night, and pour the vhole nett morning into &kettle" ai d let it boil for a quarter of an hour, ; w lien cold it' will 'be fit for use. Igo more is required than to moistenn pOnfjo, and before the horse goes out of the stable, let those parts which are the most irritable be Smear ed over with the liquor, viz.: be t ween and upon the ears, the neck, (dc. , Not only the lady or gentleman who drives out for pleasure will de rive benefit from 'the walnut leaves . thus prepared, but the coachman, the wagoner atkd all others who use hors es during the hot months.

TO DESTROY WEEDS.-A gentleman who, has made experiments as ;to means of destroying noxious growths on the lawns, such as dock, boric radish, etc., said he succeeded per fectly by cutting with a spade twoor three inches below tho crowns, and pouring on the part left in the ground ; a little kerosene. The sod was dropped back, and the tiorserid ish-railed again to put in an appear ance. Any troublesome weeds can easily be killed in this way withimt injuring the grass. . iiNQUEEMONABLY the best way I' dispose of broom corn seed is to f led ' it to the fowls. The next best mede is to give it to the sheep ; they are loud of it, and fatten -upon it nearly as fast as upon Indian corn. Groind with corn, rye, oats er barley, it is profusely fed to .eattle, and whrn mixed with wheat; bran, - it is good far milch cows. The Shiikers fre quently feed it to horses, and at the season of the year when this grain is abundant, they'use it exclusively. Tux Rev.
