Check-Reins Never use a check-rein nnon n. iir.rs at work, as it is calculated to worry and jjjure the animal morethan the work he r -la required to do. If a man i,has a heavy load to draw, he lowers his head by bending forward, and throws the whob weight of his body against it. So does a horse if he is permitted to do 0. But if the man's head were so tied back that he could not bend forward, he would lose the advantage of his weight; just so with the horse. By taking off or loosening the check rein on a horse at work, you not only increase his muscu lar power, but abandon a fashion which i is both cruel and foolish. Small Grain in .Orchard. It not unfreqently happens that wheat or oats are sown in the orchard. This, although censurable, is nevertheless often done. The stubble, after the grain ts cut, should the Weather be dry and wa;m, is capable of reflecting the heat to such an extent as to endanger the lives of the trees, especially if they be young. To guard against this, the stubble should be plowed under just as soon as possible. By so doing the risk of injury from the reflection of heat is not only avoided, but the soil is in bet ter condition to regain moisture, thereby causing the treoi to make more rapid growth. Old ttfrciards may be sown in oats for the purpose of being pastured down by hogs without any injurious ef fects, althougK.ye jhink that clover f would answer t rpoVe better, as we1' aNs be ft . more ifitabr.9 food ' Viimals. , y I ' v- : f ' I Jt pays to ' e r"' continually ascending from below,)and if the "hard pan', or crust between the upper and nether sMl be broken up, the moisture is of coarse the more readily drawn to the surface by capillary at traction hence the 'great advantage of subsoiling. . Another precaution against the ill effects of drought, especially on forage crops, is not to depend entirely on one or two kiii. Olover and timothy are almost the only grasses now relied on for hay, and although they are not adapted to all kinds of soil, yet are cultivated al most exclusively, and very often there is a partial failure in one or both, and much inconvenience and loss occa sioned thereby ; whereas if an acre or two is Aoted to drilled corn, millet, or other -substitutes, very little, if any, ap prehension of scarcity in this respect need be felt. But, anyhow, a greater variety of stock-food is now needed. No stock will do so well if confined to one thing all winter, and this, if nothing else, should lead to the cultivation of a greater variety. v Heel pen.

How we did laugh at him, and make mock of him, to vs sure ! But the provoking thing was that he never seemed to mind it one bit, and he was so good-natured, and so ready to do any one a good turn when he could", that it certainly ought to have made us ashamed of ourselves; but it didn't, ruore's the pity. "But before long something did make, us ashamed of ourselves, and this was it. Our colonel was in a great hurry one day to find out the whereabouts of a village that wasn't marked on his map, and none of us could help him, when, lo and behold ! forward stepped 'Gen tleman Bob,' with a neat little map of his own drawing, and there was the very place, just where it should be. The colonel looked at it, and then at us, and said, grMy, 'It's not often, gentlemen, that the youngest officer of a regnnent is also the smartest : let this be a lesson to you.' us none the more mercifurjj talking have fresh eggs not auranjs all ggs ' "re might have done something talk but for a thing that J? rough, bullying Kina 01 kuum was go ing to empty a glass of wineibver Bob's 3ead. when .the ensign gi wrist, and overturned the tne upon Shi himjhstead, and, the wrist wa-y black jWl1 and biUrom that squeeze for rf,aany 4.

The loss of thirteen Congressmen to the East, and a gain of nineteen to the West by the recent census, shows where the crowd is rushing, and in ten years more the East willbe taken under the wing-of the West, aid the West will see that no hiirm comes tout,. We feel sorry for the East. It has always done as well as it knew how, and there has never been a time when it would not sell us their goods and Yankee notions and take our new wheat, or loan money on a farm at ninety per cent. If its people generally do not regard the West as anything but howling wilderness, where the In dian and the wild bison roam at will, instead of a land possessing the refine ments of enlightened civilization, why then' it is their misfortune and not their fault. No enmity can ever come between the two sections, ' for very many of the wealthy farmers of the West, who own broad and fertile acres, will never for get that their early manhood was passed amid the steep and rocky hillsides of the East, where corn was planted with a mallet and cold chisel, and, after be ing washed out by rains a couple of times, grew and flourished to the height of two and even three feet, with an ear on almost every stalk.

We have heard of a gallant soldier fleeing, with- v out shame, from a sprig of rue. The author of the "Turkish Spy" tells us that, provided he had but a sword in his hand, he would rather encounter a lion in the deserts of Arabia than feel a spider crawling on him in the dark I William Matthews, son of the governor ' of Barbadoes, had, , like the above, a great aversion to the harmless spider. One day the Duke of Athole, thinking his antipathy somewhat affected, left him and his friends in the room, and came back with a closed hand. Mat thews thought he had a spider concealed there, and becoming furious, drew bis, sword and would have done damage to the duke or himself had not friends 'in terposed.
