HOW TO MAAAGE HORStcS.
A beautiful and high-spirited horse would
never allow a shoe to be put on his feet, or
any person to handle his feet. In an at
tempt to shoe this horse recently he resisted
all efforts, kicked aside everything but an
anvil and came near killing himself against
that, and finally was brought back to bis
stable unshod. This defeat was just on the
eve of consigning him to the plow, where
he might work barefoot, when an officer
lately returned from Mexico, took a cord
about the size'of a common bedcord, but it
in the mouth of the horse like a bit, and
tied it on the animal’s head, passing? the left
car under the string, not painfully tight, ,
hut tight enough to keep the ear down and
the coid in place. This done, he patted the
horse gently on the side of the head, and
commanded him to follow; and instantly
the horse obeyed, perfectly subdued and as
gentle and obedient as a well-trained dog;
suffering his feet to he lifted with entire im
punity, acting in all respects like an old
stager.
The gentleman who thus furnished this ex
ceedingly simple means of subduing a very
dangerous piospensity, intimated that it was
practiced in Mexico and South America in
the mange meat of wild horses.
SIGNS OF PKOSPEUOI’S FAIOIF.R.
When you see his barn larger than his
house it shows that lie will have large profi
ts and small afflictions. When you see him
driving his work, instead oif his work driv
ing him, it shows that he will never bedriv
<en from good resolutions, and that he will
.certainly work his way to prosperity. When
you always see in his wood house a sufficien
cy for three months or more, it shows that
lie will be more than a ninety days’ won
der, in farming operations, and that he is
not sleeping in his house after a drunken
frolic. When he has a house separate from
tlie main building, purposely for ashes, aud
an iron or tin vessel to transport them, it
shows that he never built his dwelling to he
a funeral pile for liis family and perhaps
•himself. When his farming implements are
covered both winter and summer, it shows
plainly that he will have a good house over
his head in the summer of his early life and
the winter of his old age. When his cattle
are properly shielded aud fed in winter, it
evidences that lie is acting according to the
scripture, which says that “a merciful man
is merciful to his beast.” When he is seen
subscribing for an agricultural paper and
paying in advanee, it shows that he is speak
ing like a hook respecting ihe latest improve
ments in agriculture, and that he never gets
his walking papers to the land of poverty,
FRUITS.
Mb, Editor: —This is the best lor
putting out orchards, and I believe the press
would greatly benefit the country by urging
upon all, whether tlie townsman with his
small plat of ground or the farmer with his
broad acres, the importance of having a
bountiful supply of fruit. Now I know you
have correct ideas upon this subject, and to
r.id you in the good w ork is the object ot
this communication. As facts only will be
accepted bp many people as evidence, T shall
give you a.deseription of tui orchard in which
lam very largely interested. Ido .this, not
to brag on ‘‘ourOrchard.” for it is in no way
supeiior to a dozen others in this county,
and besides we deserve littleor no credit, as
the most important part ol making the or
chard was done by tlie nurserymen They
furnish us good stock, we put them out, and
Nature has done the rest. Anybody else
with the land can have as good an orchard
as is ours. But ray reason for writing about
this orchard is because I know more about
it, than I do of any other.
Well, “our orchard” has in it three hun
dred trees, and covers about two aeres. The
land is planted and cultivated, as if there
were no orchard on it, and grows richer
every year. We will get from the crop on
it this year, having fisrtl no manures, 400
lbs lint -cotton, 100 bushels of sweet potatoes
and fifteen bushels of corn, besides peas,
millet and some garden “sass.”
Cilice the sixth of June, last, we have not
been without ripe peaches. First came the
early Beatrice, then the Louise. Rivers and
Ilale. These are, I believe, the earliest
known varieties, except perhaps the “Alex
antler,” which is anew variety. Alter
these came the Orange, an excellent varie
ty the largest weighing ten ounces, Chinese
ctiug, Stump the world, Tillotson, and num
erous other varieties, all ripening in July
and August. In September we had Jack
sou’s best—and its ou"£best .too. Moore’s
ate White, Lrply Jordan*, and some ethers.
For October we have had, Austin’s late red,
which gave out a week ago, Baldwin’s Late,
of which there are a few left, and the Lad}*
Parham, which are beginiug to ripen. I
have in this lisf not given the names o£ all
the varieties we have, for ours is an experi
mental orchard, but I have given the names
of those varieties which we appreciate most.
Our apple orchard has iO7 trees, some old
;\nd feeble others young and vigorous, but
not bearing. It has furnished us—and us
means a large family connection, and num
erous friends and acquaintances, since the
middle of May, with an abundance of ripe
apples, add has in it now, many bushels to
feed us during winter. It has been a beau
tiful sight since the first of Jjuly, and will
long be a sour.ee of joy, It giyes us the
mellowest May apples, the prettiest June
apples, the sweetest summer apples and the
best keeping summer apples known to the
w orld. Why everybody has not a good ap
ple orchard is a mystery.
1 lien our figs ars simply wonderful.—
Everybody does not laye figs, I know, hut I
believe Everybody would love figs, if Every
body had.our fig vrecs. There are only six
of these trees, vet each tree, when not pre
sented by frosts hears annually three crops
.and of,the second crop, which is a sure crop
wc have an immense quantity. I believe
that wlien this sect nd crop is at its best, nqt
less than four or five bushels of figs ripen
daily on these six tress Those not gather
ed when ri|>e fall oft aud are ravenously de
voured by domestic fowls, that remain un
der the shade of the trees ns long as the crop
lasts. The first ripe fig from ’‘our orchard”
was pulled this year in May; one tree in the
orchard has now a full crop, the, third this
year, ripening every day.
We have experimented with other fruits,
but most of them require attention and I
have described a lazy man’s orchard. Any
body can raise peaches, apples and figs;
everybody should raise them. Wc find
them a source of great pleasure and much
profit. Tatbotton At mdard.
