Horse Feed.
Tt is well known that horses which hare
to travel fast do best on oats ; while for
heavy, steady hauling there is nothing
like corn for feed. The reason for this
has never been known, But recent in
vestigations made by the French govern
ment have given some clue to it.
The officers in the cavalry service en
trusted with the examination of the sub
ject, have come to the conclusion that the
bulk of food really has os much to do
with giving a horse wind, as the more nu
tritious part of it. It makes no differ
ence about the chemical analysis of the
food. Indeed, it would seem that if a
good portion of it contains articles of no
nutritious value, so much tbe better.
Now corn contains a very much larger
percentage of nutritious elements, chem
ically speaking, than oats; but the thick
hulls of the oats supply the bulk, which
they believe to be so necessary to the
healthy action of the elements of nutri
tion. This theory is further confirmed by
the observations of our own cow-feeders,
who find that corn-mcal, when ground up,
cob and all, is just as good for cows as
when the bulk is made up of pure corn
alone. There is much matter for reflec
tion here.
It shows that it will not do to go alto
gether by what is called pure chemical
science in our agricultural operations.
Indeed, it gives us only a very small in
sight into the workings of nature.
Chemical laws are derived from an analy
sis of dead matter, while the laws of life
are evidently of another order. We
would not depreciate the real value of
chemical science. We have learned much,
and can learn much more from it. But
chemistry and vitality are essentially dis
tinct things, as we want nothing better
than these new discoveries in the law of
food to show. Exchange.
The Way to Harness a Horse.
You may laugh, gentle reader, as hearti
ly as you please, at the idea brought out
in this caption. But how many men,
that are accustomed to use horses from
year to year, can harness ono correctly f
Not one in ten 1 True, they may get a
harness on the horse, and it may fit well;
and it ma fit like father's boots on his
little son eight years of age. There is
more science after all in harnessing a
horse correctly than wo are apt to sup
pose. Let us mention the principal and
important points.
The collar is the first thing of im
portance. That large thing that will ad
mit a man's arm between it and the neck
of the horse to work in. The collar
should fit as neatly and closely to the
neck as a pair of boots that fit well.
Then if it is soft and supple, as it should
be, it will seldom gall the skin, if the
home are properly made and correctly
adjusted.
The hames should fit the collar well,
and should not be too farapart at the top,
as they often are. The staples which hold
the side straps and traces, are almost al
ways attached too far vp from the low
er ends. A horse cannot draw well.when
the traces are attached near the top of
his neck. It a horse is apt to gall near
the top of his neck, take out the staples
and put them lower in the hames.
If the back bands are just right for a
wagon, they will be too short when plow
ing, and will gall the backs of the team.
For this reason, some horses always have
a sore back as soon as they commence
plowing. .Let the hip or the "lazy
straps" be adjusted the proper length,
lest they gall the rumps if too short, and
lift the plow out when it should run in.

6? A Vermont agricultural club re
cently discussed the subject of leaks in
farming. One member mentioned sev
eral, common to most farmers. These were
insufficient winter shelter for stock ; the
waste or fertilizers about the houses,
privies, pig-peps, hen-roosts and barns.
These leaks were constantly ocourring,
and though singly deemed of small conse
quence, yet in the aggregate they amount
ed yearly to a serious loss. There were
leaks, too, about the house in tho shape
ot dilapidated doors and broken windows,
necessitating the consumption of an in
ereased quantity of fuel. Idleness in the
winter season was another leak.
In working a team, always rest on
wig a ground.
That Girdled Orchard.
The girdling of three hundred apple
and peach trees, for the fifth time, in tho
Michigan iruit region near Benton Har
bor, has excited considerable indignation
and surprise at the manner in which it
has been done, and unaccountable motive
of the act. The property had passed out
of the possession of Mr. Green to that of
JHr. Hunter, who had not yet arrived on
the premises, and being a total stranger
there, could not be supposed to have ene
mies, while its former owner, Jlr, (irecn,
is unaware of any circumstances that
would point to any perpetrator desirous ot
injuring him. What complicates the
fiendish act still more is the fact that it
has always been done at the same time of
the month, during moonlight nights,while
a vigilant watch has been kept up. The
old girdlings, which" were very thorough,
had healed nearly over, a gralting wax
having been applied to them and it is
thought that, the weather being favorable,
they will yet be saved by a similar appli
cation of wax, a fact which it is well for
our horticulturists to know, it being gen
erally supposed that trees being com
pletely girdled are sure to die.
In setting out young orchards, al
ways register the varieties immediately in
a book, where they may be referred to in
a few years, when the trees commence
bearing, and the hibels are lost, and name
