SprlnG Farm Cleaning.
While the wife clcans the house,
et the husband clean the farm. It
vegetable matter is left about the
yard, its rapid decay during the
damp, warm weather of spring and
sumraei-j will poison the air and
affect the health of the family. If
eft about the barn, lots and fields,
it will have a like influence on the
farm animals. Hogs are doubly
liable to bo injured, for they not
only breatho the fouled air, but
nest in such litter. Farm cleaning
will save loss from disease. The
litter has great value as a fertilizer
when properly applied. The in-
telligent use of this manure en-
sures belter crops, and the tarm is
capable of more thorough cultiva
tion. And then how much ap-
earanccs are improved. Make a
onfire of pieces of wood, brush,
stumps, etc., not fit for fuel, and
give the charcoal to the swine and
the ashos to the fruit trees. Re-
member this work is not complete
until those stumps and stones are
removed which can be taken out
with a reasonable amount of labor ;
until the trees about the house and
in tbe orchard aro pruned j until
tho "under-brush" is clearcd out
of the wood-lot; until all the
ditches are opened and pools are
drained ; in short, until the farm is
clean and neat.—American Agri-
culturist tor March.
The Western Settler's Chosen Specific.
With every advance of emigration into the
far West, a new demand is created for Hos-
tetter's Stomach Hitters. Newly peopled
regions are frequently less salubrious than
older settled localities, on account of the
miasma which rises from recently cleared
Ian ), particularly along the banks of rivers
that aro subject to freshets. The agricultural
or mining emigrant soon learns, when he
does not already Know, that tbe Bitters afford
the only sure protection against malaria, and
those disorders of tho stomach, liver and
bowels, to which climate changes, exposure,
and unaccustomed or unhealthy water or
diet subject him. Consequently, he places
an estimate upon this great household specific
and preventive commensurate with its in-
trinsic merits, and is careftil to keep on hand
a restorative and promoter of health so im-
plicitly to be relied upon in time of need.
Proper Currying.
The cleaning, or grooming, con-
sists first in currying the horse
with the currycomb to free him of
the dirt adhering to the hair, and
which, being now dry, is easily re-
moved. A wisping of straw re-
moves tho roughest ot the dirt
loosened by the currycomb. The
legs ought to be thoroughly wispod
—not only to make them clean,
but to dry up the moisture that
may have boon left in the evening
and at this time the teet should be
picked clean by t he foot-pick—i. e.
an iron instrument made lor tho
purposo—of any dirt adhering be-
tween the shoe and the foot. The
brush is then to be used to remove
the rejnaining and finer portions
of dust from the hair, which is
cleared irom the brush by a few
rasps along tho currycomb. This
wisping and brushing, if done with
some force and dexterity, with a
combing ot the tuil and mane,
should render the horse pretty
elean, but there are more ways of
grooming a horse than one as may
be witnessed by the eareless and
skimming way in which many
hired hands do it. Tht* skin of the
farm horse should at all times be
clean it not sleek, and a slap of tho
hand upon the horse will soon
show if there is loose dust in the
hair. The currj'comb should not
be used below the knees as it is
apt to cause injury. For clean
legs and feet nothing is better than
the water brush, and when fitting
a horse for the show-yard it may
also be used on the body with
water or even a little kerosine, but
the latter is not required for com-
mon cleanliness but merely to im-
part a temporary gloss.
Teaching His Wife a Lesson.
Tho Eecord-Umon tells how a
well-known citizen of Sacramento
was going up J street the other
evening, when he espied his wife
ahead of bim, evidently " out shop-
ping," and apparently thinking
only of what it was best to buy and
where to buy it. A day or two
before they hnd been speaking of
the boldness of thieves in snatch-
ing 'ladies' purses, and she ex-
pressed the belief that there was
little danger if the owner of the
purse was caroful, and she was Old
Care personified. So when her hus-
band saw her swinging her purse
gracelully as she moved along, he
determined that he would teach her
a lesson. Quickening his steps he
soon overtook her, snatched her
purse and ran away a few yards—
but only a few, for he was followed
by a screech loud enough to be
heard half an hour. As be had not
bargained for too much notoriety,
he retraced his steps, remarking,
as he came up, "Don't bo foolish,
Annie!" and was about to add
something more, when the light
shone fairly in the lady's face, and
he found that it was not his wite.
but a stranger! She listened to his
apologies with a tolerable good
grace, but there crept into his
mind a suspicion that somehow
there had been a mistake as to tho
recipient of the "lesson." He
vows, however, that his wife shall
never hear of it—from him at least.

Jerseys on Pastor*.
An Alabama correspondent of
the Jersey Bulletin on this point
says:
"I am often asked if the Jersey
will do well and keep up a good
flow of milk on pasture, liy inva-
riable reply is, she will on good
pasture, but will do better with
some grain. It is a very common
conclusion among the masses in the
South, that thoroughbred stock of
all kinds require a considerable
amount ot extra attention ; that is,
attention not given to the ordinary
farm animals of this section. I
will say in this connection, that
while acclimating cattle brought
from northern latitude, I have
given them especial attention. *To
be forewarned is to be forearmed.'
Of six brought from north of the
Potomac, five of which I now con-
sider thoroughly acclimated, I have
never lost one. But outside of
these, I have never given my cattle
anymore attention than ought to
be given to the cows of all ctviliz-
ed sections. I had several heifers
and some young cows that were
not giving milk the summer, and
for four months past they have had
nothing to eat except what they
gathered from an inferior pasture,
and a majority of these are in a
much botter condition for beef
than a large number of cattle used
for beet by the butchers of this
section. I know it pays to feed,
milch cows, but the Jersey or
scrubs and ono that it does not pay
to feed had bettor be turned over
to the butcher.

Selecting a Horse.
The Turf, and Farm, than which
there is no better authority on the
subject, says that in buying a horse
first look at his head and eyes for
signs of intelligence, temper, cour-
ago and honesty. Unless a horse
has brains, you cannot teach him
to do anything welt. If bad quali-
ties predominate in a horse, educa-
tion only serves to enlarge and in-
tensity them. The head is the in-
dicator of disposition. A square
muzzle with large nostrils, evi-
dence an ample breathing appara-
tus and lung power. Next, see
that be is well under the jowl, with
jaw-bones broad and wide apart
under the throttle. Breadth and
fullness between the ears and eyes
aro always desirable. Tbe ey«s
should be full and hazel in color,
ears small and thin and thrown
well forward. The horse that
turns his ears back every now and
then is not to be ^rusted. He is
either a biter or kicker, »od is
sure to be vicious, can never be
trained to do anything well, and so
a horse with a rounding nose tap-
ering forehoad, and broad, full face
below the eyes is always'treacher-

Caution is generally composed
of one part of principle and two of
policy.
