Farm, Garden and Household. [ HOW HORSES BECOME BLIND. ! < One of the worst eye traps known is i the abominable hay rack, where the ; horse has to reach up and puil the hay i down, filling his mane, foretop, and < worst'of all, his eyes with hay seed, < chaff or whatever may be mixed with , the provender. These traps are met ' with everywhere throughout the land, i These throw the horse in the most } unnatural position for feeding, as the < natural position is to reach down and j Sull up, not to reach up and pull ( Own, as the hay racks make them do. < In.-reaching up to eat it exposes the ( foretop, face and eyes to seed, chaff t and dirt which, getting on the head ( once, is liable to get into the eyes at I any time. We will speak now of the t abuse that horsemen resort to in con- t trolling a horse. The worst of all is l in striking him over the head with a | leather strap, club, whip or fist, i Shame on a man that would dare to ] club over the head the noblest of crea- x tion next to man! But lam sorry to i gay we find a great many so-called r horsemen that take delight in sitting o» their wagon seat and trying to sec how *loß© they can send the point of a ] cracker to the horse's ear, or strike c some particular spot on the back of the 1 head, neck or shoulders. But my 8 word for it, a man who will practice t this, comes to grief sooner or later. ] Instinct tells the horse to be careful 1 of his head, and especially of his eyes, \ for when they are gone that ends his \ seeing, as they can never be restored { or new ones put in, as we all know. Therefore, never strike a horse about 3 the head. The number of horses' t eyes hurt by slipping the collar over < the head would surprise us all if known. 1 A horse's head, with a good eye set- 1 ting out boldly on a square face, is a i hard thing to slip a stiff collar over I without rubbing and bruising the eye. ' Next we have the stable to contend i with, and it produces more weak eyes than any other one thing we know of. 1 The gasses arising from the body are ruinous to the eye. Let a man stand over a pile of warm decomposing ma- s nure and see how quickly it affects the s eyes. But he never thinks about the I horse in his closely confined stall with ] no ventilation either above or below to carry away this poison. Set your sta- < bles up from the ground, give ventila tion underneath so as to confine this I gas and compel it to rise through the 1 cracks in the floor. Also put good I ventilation high above the horse's l heads to cause a current of air to carry off this poison as it generates. Al- 1 ways give the horse plenty of light, but not through a small opening. 1 Never whitewash a stall, as white is f very bad on the eyes. Take a sheet 1 of white paper and hold it before your eyes a short time and see its effects; 1 but you can turn your heacl and look away from it while the horse cannot as he is tied up with a white sheet all ] around him. Never whitewash a stall, but always use blue, as it will , not hurt the eyes. PURE CISTERN WATER. A correspondent of the Ohio Farmer says: "Pure water for do mestic use is of great importance. In J most wells the water is more or less 1 impregnated with lime, or other min eral or earthy substance, so that it is not so pure as rain water. Wells are " often so deep that it is hard drawing the water. For family use I would 1 recommend a cistern. Most places where a well can be dug, and where it is not so sandy as to cave, a cistern can be plastered with cement without , walling with brick or stone. When I ■ built ray bouse, four years ago, I dug my cistern back of the house before I built the summer kitchen, so as to have it in the kitcken. The filterer is a small cistern, one or two feet from the other cistern, with a tile for a spout to connect them. The end of this pipe in the filterer is enclosed by a small circular brick wall, or a double wall of two inches each, with a space of two inches between, which is filled with pulverized charcoal. The sur face of this filtering wall is scarcely a square yard, and that part of the roof discharging into the cistern is twenty four feet by forty. Yet it is only the most violent thundershower that gives more than enough water to pass readily through the filterer. The main cistern is six feet in diameter and twenty-four feet deep. This gives us cool water all summer—as cool as well water. We draw with a chain pump, which keeps the air and water circu lated, so that it is pure. I prefer to have the filterer outside the main cis tern, and being shallow, it is easily cleaned. Both cisterns are covered with a brick arch. In the cistern of* six feet in diameter the arch is started with a groove cut in the earth for the bottom of the arch. The earth holds it sufficiently from where the cistern is plastered. The arch rises three feet, leaving three feet of earth over it." PLOUGHING ORCHARDS. A correspondent of the Ilural World describes at length his mode of plough ing orchards, so as to go near the trees without disturbing them. His double or long whiffietrce is thirty-four inches in length. Instead of a hole in the centre, he bores a hole on each side of the centre and six inches from it, mak ing these holes a foot apart, and each ten inches from the end. When he wishes to throw the furrow to the right next the lino of trees, he uses the right hole, with a block of wood two and a half or three inches thick secured on the left side of the plough beam. But when ploughing to the left, or away from the trees, he re verses the hole and the block. In this way the horse can walk closely to the trees without injury to them. A hay rope tide at the end of the long whiffle tree prevents scraping the bark. * KEEPING EGGS FRESn. I saw a very good arrangement for keeping eggs, at a friend's house, a short time since, and it was so simple and practicable that it ought to he generally known. It was a set of shelves, two feet long and eight inches wide. There were four of them, with a space of five inches between the shelves. They were made of hard wood board, planed, and round holes bored with an inch auger ran the whole length—three rows of the holes on each shelf, and twelve in each row; one shelf would hold three dozen eggs. The eggs were set in, with the small end down, so that the yelk coul not settle against the shell. The lady said she had kept eggs six months in this manner, perfectly sweet; also that the free circulation of air around them was very important, and there was no danger of cracking the shell—and I noted it in my mind as a thing well worth remembering.— Farmer's Wife in the Country Gentleman. WHAT MAKES BOW-LEGS.—BOW- I legs and knock-knees are among the commonest deformities of humanity, j and a Manchester (England) physician,, Dr. Compton, attributes the first-men tioned distortion to a habit some chil-, dren delight in, of robbing the sole of one foot against the other; some will go to sleep with the soles together. Thev appear to enjoy the contact only when the feet are naked; they don t attempt to make it when the)" are ; j socked or slippered. So the remedy 1 is obvious; keep the baby's soles cov- | ered. Knock-knees the doctor as- j' cribes to a different childish habit, that > of sleeping on the side, with one knee . tucked under the hollow behind the other. He has found that where one leg has been bowed inward more than ( the other, the patient has always slept on one side, and the uppermost has been the most deformed. Here the , preventive is to pad the inside of the 1 knees, so as to keep them apart, and j let the limbs grow freely their own way. All of which is commended to mothers who desire the physical up rightness of their progeny. 1 A FEW davs ago a Justice of the Peace, John Weber, took his little son down to Toledo on an excursion. The lad interviewed the man at the wheel, I and gathered much information rela- _ tive to the business of steamboating. Presently his father joined him on the hurricane deck and asked him how he was enjoying himself. "First rate, was the enthusiastic reply. "I'm going to be a steamboat man, papa." "All right," replied the Justice, "but you'll have to study navigation, as tronomy and divers other sciences in order to be a good one." The lad said nothing at the time, but appeared to be revolving the difficulties of the case in his mind. Perhaps half an hour later he remarked with much gravity, "Papa, I guess I won't be a steamboat man. I'd rather be a Justice of the Peace ; you don't have to know any thing for that." A CLERGYMAN who enjoys the sub stantial benefits of a fine farm was slightly taken down a few days ago by his Irish plowman, who was sitting at his plow in the field, resting his horse. The reverend gentleman, being an economist, said with great seriousness: | "John, wouldn't it be a good plan for you to have a stub scythe here and be cutting a few bushes along the fence while the horse is resting a short time ?" John, with as serious a countenance as the divine wore himself, said: "Wouldn't it be well, sir, for you to have a tub of potatoes in the pulpit, and when they are singing to peel 'em awhile to be ready for the pot ?" The reverend gentleman laughed heartily and left. The blacksmith may be slow, but J he is shoer. A hair on the head is worth more | than a dozen in the hash. The woman who paints merely does so to shade her face. Out West when they lynch a lightning-rod agent they use one of his cheeks for a coffin plate. You can't expect to hit a mark with a bent arrow, as the straighten arrow way is the right way. Why can you never expect a fish erman to be generous 1 Because his business makes him sell-fish. A Spartan was asked how he at tained such great age- "I am not ac quainted with any doctor," was the reply. Two twin brothers are said to be so much alike that they frequently borrow money of each other without knowing it. "Have you a mother-in-law ?" asked a man of a disconsolate looking person. "No," he replied, "but I have a father in jail." —The barber who heard his son speaking disrespectfully of the profes sion took him out into the woodshed and lathered him. "It's no use," said the boy, as he saw the old man coming over the fence with the ox-whip, "I can't elope with that melon." —A young lady who has been prac ticing "Let Me Kiss Him for His Mother," says the more she tries it the better she likes it. —A member of Congress rose in his place and solemnly declared : "Mr. Speaker, I cannot sit still here and keep silent without rising and saying a few words." "Ma," said a precocious youngster at the table the other evening, after a long and yearning gaze at a plate of doughnuts, "do you think I could stand another of those fried holes ?" A colored preacher in Alabama puts his foot on excessive bribery at elections and crushes it. "Dis ting," he says, "ob gittin' SIOO for a vote is all wrong; $lO is as much as its worf." —Two deacons in a country town were disputing about the location of a graveyard. "Well," says one of them, "I'll never be buried in that graveyard so long as I live." "What an obsti nate man!" replies the other; "if the Lord spares my life, I will!" —A minister who was speaking quite loud saw a woman leaving the church with a crying babe, and there upon exclaimed. "Your baby don't disturb me, madam." "That isn't it, sir," she replied; "you disturb the baby." Of course every effect must have a cause. —A little boy, the son of an ortho dox Presbyterian, recently listened at tentively to some conversation in re gard to Christ having been a Jew. At last he could stand it no longer and broke out with: "Well, I don't see how that could be, when God, his father, was a Presbyterian." A negro preacher in North Caro lina gave the following notice to his • flock a few Suudays ago : "I have been ; preaching to you ever since I came here from Matthew and Mark, and if you want me to preach from Genesis . and Exodus you must raise my wages. 1 It is hard work, and I'm not going to , preach the fat out of my gizzard for , so little pay." ; —"Every day you beat me out of time," said an employer to a tardy I workman. "What's that you're sayin', ; you ignorant man? Bate you out of ■ time, is it ? Don't I go home to me 1 dinner at twelve by the town clock, ; and that's half an hour too fast, an' 1 don't I come back at wan by the clock 1 at the Emerald Ring, an' that's half ! an hour too slow? An' how do I I bate you out of any time ? The time ; isn't up yet, so I'll take my aize an' have a shmoke." Salts*? Citx^ea: |la.t 0 states 8, IScS. LIVERY.
