Horse-breaking and Horse-sense.
A horse's sense is good common
eense. Many a man does not know
half so uauch about some things as a I
horse, and there is a grcrt difference
in horses, The horse is not natural.
1y suspicious, but he is timid when j
yoiing. lie learns very soon what
his weapons are—teeth and heels— |
nnd in what his security lies—flight, j
llis boldness and"the glory of his
nostril.*" come when "he rejoiceth in
his strength." With his age comes
the knowledge of his powers, and if
he has never been mastered—never
made to yield to any will but his own
—if he is to be made useful, the
struggle must come sooner or later,
and man's-will or horse-will must tri
umph. We think it is best to begin
quite yoong with colts to contrail
them. So I advise to halter a colt
while it runs with the marc, and to
do it after feeding it carrots and su
gar, until it thinks it will get only
caressing from mankind, and has no
fear of any n.an. The colt submits
■easily, because it is the easiest and
jdeasantest thing he can do, provided
he is not frightened, Mid wouid as
lief be led as run loose if the curtail
ment of his freedom is made up by
sweets of carrots. The sense of
smell in horses is very acute, and if
they are suspicious of any thing,"they
always approach it cautiously and
.smell of it. They should be indulg
ed in this, and har«"Bs, sad lie, etc.
i-hould all he investigated by the nose
as well aB by the eye, before a more
intimate acquaintance is forced upon
the horse. A horse ring of 40 to 50
feet diameter is one of the greatest
aids a horse trainer can have. In
this a horse too restive and spirited
t® take a lesson may be tired out, so
as to be very docile,ami a tired horse
is much more susceptible to both fa
vors and instruction, than one full of
rim, and fire and play. There are
a few very simple couunon'sense rules
which, if followed, will commend
themselves to the horse as well as to
the trainer, viz:
Ist.—Always/ceZ kindly toward a
horse, no matter what he does to you,
and consequently never show "tems
per." Remember the horse knows
in°tinctly how you feel.
2d.—Never go near a horse if yon
are afraid of him, tho horse will
know it and take advantage of it be
fore you acknowledge it yourself.
3d.—Never undertake anything
with a horse that you do not know
you can carry out.
4th,—"Make haste tlowly," teach
ing the animal what y&u want of him
ns a child learns fts A B-C-s, one
letter at a .time, being sure that he
inows each eimple thing before you
attempt to teach another; and repeat
lessons often.
sth.—Reward each effort to do as
you wish, whether he means it o r
it accidentally.
6th.—Be sure that it is jour will
and not his that conquers every
time.
Following these rules, you mav
tnake a horse do almost any thing, if
he has not been spoiled before yQu
get him.
WHAT IS PROHR-BSSIVE AGRICUL
TURE ?—The New York Obaerver an
swers this question in a few words,
hut very comprehensively *B follows:
"Under its influence spring tasty and
convenient dwellings, adorned with
shrubs and flowers, and beautiful
with<n the smiles of happy wives,
tidy children in the lap of thought
ful age—broad hearts and acts, as
well as words of welcome. Progress
ive agriculture builds barns and puts
gutters on iheifc; buiids stables for
■cattle and raises roots to feed them.
Jtgrafts wild apple trees by the mead.
<w with pippins or greenings ; it sets
-oat new orchards and takes care of
!the old ones. It drains low lands,
•cuts down bushes, buys" a mower,
tiousc tools and wagons, keeps good
fences and praetices soiling. It
makes hens lay, chickens live, and
prevewts swine from rooting up mead
ows. Progressive agriculture keeps
on hand plenty of dry fuel,and brings
.in the oveiwwood for the women.—
It ploKfi.decply, sows plentifully,har
rows evenly, and prays for the bless
ings of llea>ven."
—He is & great "simpleton who imag
ines that the chief power of wealth is to
supply wants. In ninety-nine cases out
■of a hundred it creates :nore wants than
it supplies.

Pennsylvania Farming.
A Pennsylvania farmer writes to
the New York Farmers' Ctmb his
method of farming, as follows :
I blow clover-seed in autmn or
March, and lime 50 bushels to the
acre, and plant with corn. This I
harvest by cutting close to the ground
putting in shocks to cure. It is
husked at tbc shocks, the stocks tied
in bundles, hauled near the barn and
stocked. In the spring the corn stub
ble is plowed for oats. The oats
stubble is dressed with barnyard ma
nure, plowed and harrowed and left
until it is time to sow wheat; then go
over with a large cultivator, and af
terward drill in the wheat. If ins
'ending to make the field into mow
ing land, I sow three pecks of timo
thy seed (per ten acres) with the
wheat, and in the spring one bushel
of clover seed. The farms in this
country are generally so divided that
we have two parts for corn, two for
oats, two for wheat, two for mowing,
and one for pasture. This is their
regular rotation. Their grass crops
are heavy, and generally yield 40 to
50 bushe's of corn to the acre, 40 to
50 bushels of oats, and 15 to 25 bush
els of wheat.
A POWERFUL FERTELIZER.—Ev
ery farmer has soot at his command,
whose presence in stovepipes »nd
chimneys is not unfrequently the
cause of fires, occasioning the loss
sometimes of both property and life.
This agent for evil is one of the most
valuable manures, and nothing but
the most culpable carelessness and
indifference will suffer it to remain a
standing menace to life and property,
when it can be easily removed and
turned to a good account in the field
or garden. Twelve quarts of soot in
a hogshead of water w ill make a pow
erful manure, which will improve the
growth of flowers, garden vegetables
or root-crops. In either a liquid or
solid state it makes an excellent tops
dressing for grass or cereal roots.
BED YOUR STARVES. —A horse, re
marks the "Rural World," will got
tired of standing and treading on a
hard floor : so will a cow, a sheep, a
man. A soft bed feels easy—gives
rest. And yet we neglect tftc bed
ding of our stables t) a great extent
Injured limbs and other ailments,es
pecially of the hoof,'arß the results
often of a neglect heri, a3 has
been clearly enough shown, and as
any man can clearly enough see, if
he gives the subject a moment's
thought. Bed with straw which is
plenty, or saw-dust, or tan bark or
shavings. The dryer these materials
are the better. Every day remove
the moistened bedding and replace
with new. Such a .floor, well bedded,
adds greatly to the warmth of a sta
ble, and thu3 becomes a fodder saver.
The small holes and crevices in a
floor with a good bedding upon them,
will let little or no cold through, and
will drain the stable. Rather have
a ground floor than hard, naked
plank.
How TO MAKE HENS LAY. —Many
persons teed hens too much for lay
ing. To keep twenty hens through
the winter, gi?c the them three pints
of corn and two quarts of oats or
buckwheat per day; also, about twice
a week, give them shorts or bran
wet with sonr warm milk, of which
they teem
wetland puttin a large spoonful of
ground black pepper. Give them all
the green stuff that can be had, such
as cabbage loaves, parings of apples,
acorns and all etc. So fed with com
fortable quarters, they will lav all
winter.
j —The following receipt is said to
|be worth one thousand dollars :
"Take one pound of sal. soda, and a
half pound of unslacked lime; put it
in a gallon of water and boil 20 min
utes. Soak your clothes over night
or until they are wet through ; then
wring them out, end rub on a plenty
of soap and in boiling of the clothes
well covered with water, add one tea
spoontul of waging fluid. Boil half
cf an hour briskly, and then wash
them thoroughly through one suds,
and rinse with water,and clothes will
look better than the old way of wash
ing twice before boiling. This is an
available receipt, and 1 ivant poor
tired women to think of it. I think
with a patent washtub to do the rub
bing, the wash woman might -take
the last Level and compose herself on
the lounge, anij let the washing do
itself. The woman who can keep a
secret has known this a year or two, j
but her husband told it while on an
electioneering tour."
