Have a Heart for Your Horse. T , 1 * ' • i it •! 1 A writer says: “ Let any one who lias the carp of a liorse the cold frost motnings, deliberately grasp in his liaiid a piece of iron; indeed let him touch it,to the tip of his tongue, and tliep let him thrust the bit into the mouth of .the horse, if he has the heai t to do it. The horse is an ani mal of nervous organization. His mouth is formed of delicate glands and tissues. The temperature of the blood is the same as in thp human being, and, as in man, the mouth is the warmest part of the body. Imagine, we re- peatfthe irritation that would bp caused the human being, and consider that, if not to the same degree, still the suffering to the animal is very great; and it is not a momentary pain. Food is eaten with difficulty, and the irritation repeated day after day causes loss of appetite and loss of strength. Many a horse has be come worthless from no other cause than this.

If the color of the leaves is good, and the trees bear well of fine fruit, they arc doing well enough even if in grass. Bht if the leaves arc pale, the growth of the annual twigs much less than a loo| in length on trees set twelve years, and the fruit small and poor, something is the matter, and they arc suffering for the want of the plow, harrow or cultivator, or heavy mulch or coat of manure} f \/ Winter Plowing. Winter ploughing is a good thing. It upsets the insects, turns them up o Y !i!!r.'^ n j^K r lrom v their warm quarters j beneath cold quarters above. It throws up the clay to he pulverizing it finely for any crop. For oats and clover, timothy, red-top, blue grass, orchard grass, etc., by all means do winter ploughing. Then in early spring you can sow the seed at once, and not wait till the ground is in condition to plough, and then spend several days what could better be done in any open weather in winter. “ A word to the wise is sufficient.”—Rural World. ,3*2$ the rqptsl of tlre-f^rest trees during the season of growth.
