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 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."
