CCGKG THE RUNNING AWAY nABIT.
A habit of running away is fatal to the
usefulness of a horse. It is the fault of
rainintr, for in the training escape from
iontrofshould never be this permitted. Fasten The
dee may be cured in way:
;wo strong rings in the top of the bridle,
nc on each side; put a strong round
:urd through these rings so that it can
, e drawn on as the driving lines are. As
non as the horse starts he is checked by
nulling on the cord, which presses on the
windpipe and shuts off the breathing. If
;e persists in running he will soon drop,
)ut this is seldom done: some shaking of
he he id and the runaway will stop. After
landing a few minutes he may be pulled
Ip a few times until he learns that the
[river has control of him. — American

When hens are shedding feathers they
often stop laying and grow fat. Most
people consider fat a sign of health. It
is not a sure one. Many of the worst
cases of roup are contracted while the
hens are moulting.
The editor of the Maine Farmer, says,
that in sixteen years’ experience of farm¬
ing he has learned that when his land is
poor or in a poor condition he is depend¬
ent largely on the season for a crop; but
if the laud is rich and well-handled he is
reasonably sure of a crop anyhow.
Those who grow lettuce thickly in
beds or rows and eat it thus grown,
really know little of the deliciousness of
this article of food. Transplanted into
rich ground, when of sufficient size, and
grown into large heads, it is much better
in quality, and much more oi it will be
eaten.
If the pigs can be pastured in th«
orchard, from the time the first imperfect
apples begin to drop from the trees, they
will do much toward ridding you of the
codling moth. If the orchard is, as it
should be, in a good growth of grass and
clover, the pigs will be benefited as
much as the orchard.
Don’t crowd your fowls in the hen
houses. Give them breathing room,
space to move about in, and ample roost¬
ing accommodations. Hens will not lay
well if you crowd them up in close
quarters. They must have air, and their
bodies not come in contact by night or
by day, so far as possible to jirevent.
General farm products are depressed,
but the best never are. There is always
short supply of the best, and at a re¬
munerative prices. Take horses, cattle,
sheep, butter, cheese, fruit—no one to¬
day has these of the best, who canuot
find a ready market for them at large
prices. The way is open for every farmer
to produce them.
New Mexico’s Natural Wealth.
T. C. Gutierrez, of Albuquerque, Nevj
Mexico, a member of the National Com¬
mission to the World's Exposition, is at
present stopping in Chicago. Speaking
of the resources of his Territory recently,
he said:
C & "We are just beginning,” he contin.
ucd, “to give the world an idea of out
resources. New Mexico is not a sterile
waste. Its agricultural and mineral re¬
sources are immense, and only await the
quickening power of capital to develop
them. At Albuquerque, unquestionably
the most progressive and Americanized
city in the Territory, plans are now being
made to construct large tanning estab-
lishments. The whole Territory abounds
with what expert chemists have declared
to be the best tannic acid known, the
canaigre. The canaigre is a bulbous
plant which grows wild everywhere ia
the valleys throughout the Territory. Its
roots, which produce the tannic acid,
grows exceedingly large and appear much
like the bulbs of the sweet potato plant,
It is better than hemlock or oak for tan-
ning purposes. The best way to use it
is in the fluid state. Hides, which, as
you doubtless know already, are our chief
product, can be dipped into this acid,
The tanning process I cannot describe at
length, but I know that it produces flex-
ible, soft leather, and gives general sat-
isfaction. There is a fortune in this
industry to the man who knows how to
conduct it.
“But canaigre is not the only plant
which can be made serviceable in manu-
factures. Amolle is another which could
be used to great remunerative advantage,
It is a soap-weed, also grows wild, and
is very valuable. Our coal beds—bitum-
iuous and anthracite—are almost inex-
haustible, and of their quality Professor
Hayden, of the United States Geological
Survey, says they are unrivaled. What
New Mexico wants is more tools, more
education, more young blood and energy.
We will in time possess one of the great
est States ill the Union .”—Xeto Yor

A Jumper’s Feats.
Darby, the Irish athlete, goes through
no exceptional- traitiing, unless for a
special contest. He keeps himself in
trim by a little boxing, careful dietarv
aud keeping clear of alcohol almost to the
extent of tcetotalism.
He jumps in clogs tipped with steel,
the most unsuitable footgear, the un¬
initiated might suppose, for the purpose.
Joseph Darby is advertised as champion
jumper of the world, but this scarcely
conveys an idea of what he accomplishes,
for most people would suppose that he
did nothing beyond ordinary broad and
high jumps. they would be be
How mistaken may
ga:hered from the following, which are
but a fraction of his feats: Standing
high jump, live feet six inches, with ankles
tied; two standing jumps, twenty-six feet
seven and a half inches; three standing
jumps, forty-one feet seven inches; four
standing jumps, fifty feet four inches,
clearing fifteen feet tii-e inches in the last
jump; six backward jumps, fifty-four
feet; jumping from an ordinary brick,
end up, over bedroom chair, on to an-
other brick, end up, thence over bar five
feet six inches; thrC3 jumpS ’ clearin 3

jumpin<g from brick over two horses:
clearing twenty-three feet eight inches in
two jumps, jumping over chair on t<
man’s face without hurting man. whe
Where arc our “champions,”
scramble over five feet six or eight and
perhaps clear twenty or twenty-one feet!
The point in the brick and tumbler jumps
«that the jumper must uot upset either,
and in this Darby does not fail once.—

Good Water.
Good water and an abundance of it is
one of the prime necessities of modern
civilization. It becomes more difficult
to obtain, both in America and Europe,
as the population each year grows denser.
Hydraulic engineers are just now wrest-
Jind with this problem in England. In
France, Austria and Germany it is still
unsolved. The medical faculty of these
countries declare that the surface supplv
can not longer be relied upon, for hy¬
gienic reasons. They suggest the
sinking best of very deep procuring artesian wells as
the method of an adequate
supply of water that shall be perfectly
pure. The first experiment of this sort
has just been tried in England, where the
new London Water Company has just
completed a well eleven hundred feet
deep and obtained an abundant flow ©f
water, the analysis of which shows an
entire absence of organic matter, or any
element deleterious to health. Here in
America the same comes up from nearly
all our great cities. Philadelphia is se¬
riously alarmed at the condition of the
Schuylkill, which has supplied the Quaker
City for one hundred and fifty years. New
York is complaining of the scarcity of the
limpid element, and wants the lakes of
the Adirondack region tapped for the
benefit of the metropolis. Chicago, with
Lake Michigan at her doors, should have
a supply of good water, if it is to be had
on the continent, but Chicago declares
that her crib and grand aqueduct must
be carried ten miles further out into the
lake to insure a perfect aqueous supply
that is unpolluted. So it goes. To the
engineer who can devise some method of
meeting this urgent demand there will
inure great reputation and a correspond¬
ing fortune.
Puree of Peas.
Wash a pint of green peas in cold water,
then put them into a saucepan with boil¬
ing water and cook twenty minutes.
Have them dry when done. Pi css through
a colander. Boil a pint of milk, add a
small onion, throe or four cloves and a
small sprig of parsley. Rub a teaspoon-
full of flour and butter each together.
Strain the milk over the peas, put back
in the saucepan, stir in the butter and
Hour, and let boil, stirring to and prevent salt,

The First Bridges.
The first bridges were of wood, and
the earliest of which we have any ac¬
count was built hi Rome 500 years U. C.
The next was erected by Julius Ciesarfor
the passage of his army across the Rhine.
Trajan’s great bridge over the Dunube,
four thousand seven hundred and seventy
feet long, was made of timber, w ith stone
piers. The Homans also built the first
stone bridge, which crossed the Tiber.
Suspension bridges arc of remote origin.
A Chinese one, mentioned by Kirehen,
made of chains, supporting a roadway
eight hundred and thirty feet in length,
was built A. D. Go, and is still to be
seen. The first iron bridge was erected
over the Severn in 1777.
