From five to seven o'clock each
horse is taken in hand andthorough
ly curried. brushed and cleaned, from
ten to fifteen minutes being spent by
a hostler upon each horse. A damp
woolen clOth is always rubbed over
the coat of the horse after being
curried and. brushed. This serves to
'remove -, all loose dandruff and.to give
that fine, glossy, sleek appearance•so
noticeable in the: animals of this
stable, The horses are fed nothing
in the morning except the eight ears
of corn. After being led back to the
stalls when cleansed, they Are then
ready for work. The same- process
of currying, brushing and cleaning
is also gone throigh with at noon
and at night at -the , close of their
forenoon's and afternOOn's work. At
noon each horse is fed with half a pe'ck
of oats: At night chopped' feed 7 is
given. This is v composed -of sheaf
oats or rye straw passed through a
straw cutter, and -then; - when wet,
,ground oats, corn and bran ,mixed
with it., A peck and a half a this
h-given 'to each horse. In addition
.ta the chopped feed, - the rack is sup
plied with eight or nine pounds of
bright sweet timothy hay, this being
the total amount.of hay which isfed.
And perhaps of this supply the horse
will not eat more thanjlve pounds
during the. - night, finishing up the bal
ance during the next day. -
While Mr. Barret is particular to
give nothing but clean timothy hay
in summer,
hi Cold weather he is
- willing to feed hay which is one - third
doyen About once a Week a peck of
oil-cake meal -is mixed up with the
,chopped feed, being equal to :about
a third Of a pint to a horse. This
promotes the uniform good condition
of the animal. And if', at any time,
the urine of a horse is-cloudy and
thickened, a tablespoonful of ptilver
ized rosin, mixed up with" chopped
feed, is given him. This acts 11p011,
the, kidneys and the ditlrculty is at
_
once removed. -
The horses are given what water
they Want as they come in from their
work unless they, are "green," and
then care-is:taken not to water or
'feed until they are thoroughly clean
ed.
.In a few weeks, after having
become habituated to the regiinen of
the stables; the same course is taken
with the " late comers." Of course,
•if horses come in . over-heated, then
they ate not Watereduntil cooled Ott
A vett marked feature connected
with the staLles i that the air is :3o
sweet and fresh. And, probably.
this is Owing largely to the fact that
scarcely .any -• urinating ever takes
place in the several stables.
Value of Road Dust.
, During the dry 'seasons - of late
Summers, every country resident
should secure several barrels of road
dust. It tis Worth marry
. timeS, its
vist 'as Alt, absorbant. Those -who
keep ponFtry'secure by its use a val
uable fertilizer, nearly as strong as
guano, with,none` of its disagreeable
odor. Place an inch or two in the
bottom of - the barrel ; •then, as the
poultry house is regularly cleaned,
depcisit an inch thick layer of the
Cleanings, ;and so on alternately
layers of each until the barrel is full.
The .thinner each. layer is, the niore
perfect will be the intermixture' of
the, ingredients. If the,soil of which
the - road dust is made IS clayey, the
layers of each may be equal , thick
ness; if - sandy the dust should be at
least as thick as the layers of drop
pings. Old barrels of any kind may
' . bc used for this purpOse ; but if pre
viously soaked with crude petroleum
or coated with gas tar, they will last
many.l . kars.. If the contents are
pounded On a floor into a fine powder,
before applying, the fertilizer may be
sown in a'drill. Road dust is one of
the most perfect
. deodorizers of vaults
.;;--converting their contents into rich
manure. • Place a barrel or box of it
ip the closet, with a small dipper,
'-and throw down; a pint inVthe vault
each time it is occupied, and there
will be no offensive odor whateyer.
This is simple, cheaper and lkteer
- than, a water closet, and never freezes
or gets out of order.. Mixing road
dust with an . equal bulk of coal ashes
is an improvement, making the fertil
izer more friaable.—Country Gen

Selling Farm Produce.
• In speaking of the best time for
selling farm produce, Mr. Kern says :
" Farmers are often blamed for, not
selling their produce as soon as-it is
ready for market. It must be con
fessed that those who do so, taking
one year with another, do quite as
well as those who hold on in hopes of
getting higher prices. They obtain
their money soon after harvest and
are enabled to use 'it to advantage.
Dealers in ginin can obtain money
much more easily than farmers, and
can conseque - ntly hold the grain long
er. While, farmers often do better
by selling early, there is still room
for the exercise -of judgment. One
reason why it is best to, sell early is.
that most farmers are disposed to
hold on to their grain as long as
possible, affd when the-time- comes
that they must sell, there are more
sellers than -buyers, and the price
*declines."

As the barometer foretells the storm
While still the skies are clear, the weather warm,
Su something in us, as old age draws near,
Betrays the pressure of the atmosphere.
The nimble mercury, ere we are aware,
Descends tho elastic ladder of the air;
The tell-tale blood in artery and vein,
Sluks frum Its higher levels in the brain;
Whatever poet, ora:or, or sage
May say of it, old age is still old age,
It is the waning, not the crescent moon,
The dusk of evening, not the blaze of upon:
It is not strength, but weakness: not desire,
But its surcease: not the tierce heat of lye,
The burning and consuming elentient,
Bat that of ashes and of embers spent,
In wh;c4 some living sparks we still discern -
Enough to warm, but nut enough to burn.
What then? Shall we sit Idly down and say
The night bath come; it is no longer day ?
The night bath not yet come; we are not quite
Cut off from labor by the falling light;
Something remains for us to do or dare;
Even the oldest tree some fruit may !fear;
Not CEllpus Culoncus, or Greek Ode.';'
Or tales of pilgrims that one morning rode ' •
Out of the gateway of the Tabard Jun,
But other something, would we but begun;
For age is opportunity, no less
Than youth itself, though in another dress,
Aud as the evening twilight fatlel away
The sky is filled with stars, invbible by day.

SPELLING REFORM
At the annual meeting of the American
PhilolOgical Association, held in the city
ontiew 'York, July2o, Prof. W. D. Whit-.
ney presented the report of the committee
appointed last year to "considerthe ques
tion of a reformed orthography' for the
English language. After a few_explana
tory remarks, he read' the following rec
ommendations of the committee :
I. The true and the sole office of al
phabetical writing is faithfully and intel
ligibly to represent spoken speech, so
called "historical 7 orthography being
only a cdneession to the weakness of
prejudice.
2. The ideal of an - alphabet is that
every sound should have its own unvary
mg sign, and every sign . its oivn unvary
ing sound
3. An alphabet intended for use -by 'a_
vast community reed not attempt an ex
haustive analysis of the elements of
,ut
terance, or a representation of the nicest
Varieties of articulation, though it may
well leave room for the 'unavoidable play
of individual and local pronunciation,.
4. An ideal alphabet would seek, to
adopt .for its characters forms which
should suggest the sou - Ids signified, and
of which the resemblances should, in,
some measure, represent the similarities
of the sounds. But for general, practical
use, there is ,no 'advantage in - a system
which aims to depict in detail the physic
al processes of utterance.
3. No language has fiver had, or is
likely to have, a perfect alphabet; and in
changing and amending the mode of writ
ing of a language already long written,
r,- , gard must necessarily be paid to what
is practically posgible ' quite as much as
to what is inherently desirable.
G. To prepare • the way for such a
change, the first step is to break down, by
the combined influence of enlightened
scholars ;aid of practical educators: the
immense and stubborn prejudice which
regards the established modes of spelling
almoSt as constituting the language, and
as having a sacred character in them
selves preferable to others. All, cogita
tion, and all definite proposals of reform
are to be welcomed, as far as they work
in this direction.
An altered orthography will be una
voidably offensive to those who are first
called upon to use it, , but any sensible
and consistent new system will rapidly
win the hearty preference of the mass of
writers.-
8. The 'Roman alphabet is so widely
and firmly established in use arming the
leading civilized nations, that it cannot
be displaced in adapting it to improved
use for English. The efforts of scholars
should therefore be directed towards its
use with uniformity, and in conformity
with other nations.
A varied and interesting discussion fol
lowed the acceptance of the report. It
was opened by Mr. E. Jones, of Liver
pool, who recommended that in place of
the adoption of new letters, the best pos
sible use should be made of the alphabet
now in use. The iiewapelling should be
made of the alphabet noly in use. The
new spelling should besuch that any per•L
son who could read the _present spelling
should be able to read- the now. llei - urg: -
es', further, that it.slrould be capable of
being written legibly and spoken intelli
gibly, and of being, used in newspapers
without anew style of type.
Mr. S.. P. Andrews - tecOmmended the
improvement of spelling upon the basis of
.the Roman alphabet, -without necessitat
ing the introduction of new types.
A convention of educators , will be held
at the Atlas Hotel, Elm avenue, Philadel
phia, opposite the Centennial Buildings,
August 14, 15 and 16, to consider how
best to give effect to the above resolu
tions.
THE RECENT ORTHOGRLPHIO OONVEN
TION. -
ITS PERSONNEL, ETC.
The long-talked-of International Con
vention to consider the amendment of.
English orthography has met, confer - MA
and adjourned. Now that the newspa
aers, big and little, have had their say,
and full opportunity has been given to re
peat all the stale jokes , which have been
aimed at the "new-fangled, or Josh 13117
hugs spelling," we may properly glance
at the work of this convention, and-ex
press a candid opinion thereon.
The meeting was called with only brief
notice, and was .by no means widely-ad
vertised. Still there was an unexpected
ly large attendance, the numbers ranging
between one and two hundred, and repre-.
seating nearly all sections of the country,
including delegates or representiliTres
from teachers bf the freedmen,
In
dians, the Chinese, and other. foreigners.
There was also quite a sprinkling of ,edn
cational people from other colintries,Ewho,
being in Philadelphia, were interested in -
the work of the reformeri. The charac
ter of the delegates to the, convention
cannot pass unnoticed, for it was happily ,
different from what many had feated. -
The convention was in the hands of the
scholarly; • conservative element, if the
word conservativo'cen be applied to men
who believe in spelling-reform. Dr.
Dahlemen," who prealdeoM.,the meetinipi

" •
The opening address was delivered by
Prof. F. A. March, who if not tins fit*, is
certainly among the forentUist living Sebol
;us of English. Dr. March, it appears,
was a leading spirit throughout the sew-,
sions of the entire week, was chairman of
several of the most important committees,
and was elected very properly to the pres
idency of
. the permanent organization.
He was two years ago the President of
'tne Philological Association, and is at the
present time the chairman of their com
mittee on the Spelling Reform, in con
nection with Professor Whitney, of Yale,
and Dr. llaldeman. , Professor Whitney,
though not'present, appears as the Vice-
President of the 'Association; and his po- ..
sition DR the subject will be seen.fromhis
communications to the convention. A
single extract will suffice
"I have especially felt ca led upon as a
'historical student of language and of
modes of writing, to protest, in
the name of sound s 3ience and of common
sense, against the worthless arguments
popularly brought forward to a changed
and consistent spelling of English, and
to demonstrate their worthlessness. That
:,seholars and men of enlightenment should
come to . hold the true ,opinion on this
subject, has seemed to me necessary
preliminary to a reform movement. So
far as America is concerned, this end ap
pears to be pretty fully attained; certain
ly there are few in our community de
serving the name of . scholar who do not
confess that a 'historical' spelling is, in
principle, indefensible, that it has no sup
port save in our customs - and prejudices.
A beginning, anywhere and of any kind,
is what is-must wanted. 'Break- down the
false sacredness of present modes of spell
irig, accustom people not to shiver when
they see familiar words 'misspelt,' and
something good will be the final result.
Every great.a.nd important revolution in
volves a period of anarchy;- this is what
the conservative dreads; few have the
courage to look across it the era of better
things that is to follow."
But the mention of individual names,
among so many, may seem invidious. It
is enough to say that, under the leader
ship of the eminent scholars and educa
tors who made up the working force of
the recent convention, a large degree of
success seems assured, and the hight
degree of respect must certainly be yield
ed to their opinions. But better than
the large attendance, and the higif char
acter of the members at this couvintion,
was the spirit that controlled its delibera
tions and shaped all its' votes. In no
case did the views of the men With more
zeal than discretion preyail against the
sober judgment of the leaders. The
character of the convention has been,
either intentionally or accidentally, quite
misrepresented in .many papers, and the
reports of its sessions, it seems, •were un
usually inaccurate. The official pr(!eped
ings are now being printed, and teachers
and others interested will do well to con
sult them before forming an opinion pro
or con on- the Matter.
• The unanimous desire of those present
that the convention should merge itself ,
into a 'permanent organization, is suffi
cient eidence that the members were
more than satisfied with what has been
accomplished. We took the trouble, on
the afternoon of adjournment, to ask
sorne'ilfteen or twenty of those present
how the convention had met their hopes
or expectations. In every case those ask
oil agreed that the real progress made had
been more than deluble what they bad an
ticipated. The organization, officers, and
plans or the permanent "Spelling Re
form Assciciation," will be gii'en ill our
columns, with an invitation ,fu all ;wliu
are interested to become incnibers.
It seems that the declaration printed
last week was in no sense an officialdec
ument of the convention, but was read
for the entertainment of the me - inbers
just before the noon recess on Thursday.
We mention this fact because some Lave
contrived to see in that little paper a for
mal deelara.tion of the association. and
have criticised it accordingly.
In view of the facts ,c)f the case, We
must allow ,that the spelling reform is
one of the most vital and prominent edu
cational questions now,-,before our people;
snip that the recent convention and the
permanent organization into. which it was
merged, deserves very resfectfid consid
eration at our bands. We shall give in
succeeding numbers some of the plans
proposed for carrying on the reform, es
pecially the leaflets and letter-beads
which are being prepared by Professors
March and Haldeman for the use of
members Of the association.
