AGRICULTURAL. A Mare's Ceiled Month. A Morgan brood mare of vigorous appetite wouldn't eat. For two days I thought her sick. I finally turned her out and she play ed so much I concluded she was well and that her teeth were troul.ling her. I tried whole and cut feed, ground and whole grain, suggest th plan of putting twice as manj hills on an acre. In both canes the result* are likely to be diiiappoiuting, and for iiiniiar masons. We need not try to cheat Dame Nature, nor expect " something for nothing " even from her hand. What w gain in one point we lose in another. Tue double-eared st.ilkn require the l>est of soil, the best of care, and twice an much an the single eared ones. For best results Pasl run. There are few men in this world who do not enjoy the eualion of sitting behind a fast- trnvellii g horse. To all such i ciatu what Dr. Johnson calls ' do appro the pleasure of motion," the following list of horse* Unit havo entered the i.'to list of trottcra this year in Canada will prove interesting : Blanche, blk.m. , by Star Harabletun- 2.30 can be but one stalk to the hill, aud Front and back teeth apparently all right : tongue ditto ; and the roof of her mouth well that did look odd. It seemed to be boarded over ! It was white grained, polished, and lower than it should have been. The ceiling of her mouth, so as speak was certainly of wood. With a lever anil a little prying to see if it were not loose the entire structure fell into her mouth and was dragged out. It proved to !,e a bit of inch board, JxU inches, which she had gnawed around the edges until it titled so snugly between the teeth and th ir w.ills as to make its removal impossible fir her. The lost desire for food returned instantly and the long fast was at once br 'lieu. The thought comes to me : Suppose the cause of the trouhle had not Iwen discovered until, weak from lack of food, the mare was killed to relieve her misery ; would not the case have been parallel with others, where animals suffering with never so simple a malady have been turned off or shot, unable to point out the difficulty? (HollUter .Sage. Rtipect the Stomach. Having abundant exercise in open air, and choice of the most wholesome and nutritious products of the earth, fresh from garden, orchard and field, farmers possess the main f actor ol healthful growth and longevity. Yet a long acquaintance with them satisfies me they have their full share of that chronic dyspepsia, a terribly aggravating, depressing disabling ailment. I nut ht point oat many errors ofdiet, such as too much fat aalt meat and warm, or, at least, new bread, in its various forms, but I wish to call attention particularly to their frequent disregard of some of the fundamental conditions of nor mal digestion. One of these is that th physical system be not too much exhausted when food is taken into the stomach, and that eating shall not be followed immediate- ly by >uch exercisn aa tends to divert the vital heat, the vital energies, from the work of digestion. Thadigestive function requires temporary rest of the other functions of the body, and I may say also, of the mind and motions. Any form of exertion immediate- ly after eating arrests digestion and, by pro- longing the operation, impairs the powers of the digestive organ*. Now the fanner during the busy time of the are likely to he soft when the frost conies. It takes about one hundred anil thirty me- dium-sized ears of com to make a bushel when shelled. Whatever the distance between the bi'ls, in planting corn supposed lo yield one ear to the stalk, a fair number jf stalks per row will be indicated by the number of feet the row is in length. Thus one stalk every foot, two stalks every two teet, three overy three feet, fcur ex'ery four feet, or on an average of three and a half to every three and a half feet : either will give good result. If the rows are one- fifth of a rod apart it will take jiut tike eight hun- dred rods of rows to make an acre. Kvery eight rods will have it* one hundred and thirty-two stalks, enough at one eir to the stalk to yield a hujhel <A shelled corn. At this rate an acre v " bushels.

The first condition of gastronomic enjoy- ment is undoubtedly a good appetite, and Itiillat Savarin gives us several stones of heroic performances ut the table.

II We all travel nowadays, and we are all interested in engines and engine-drivcrr. There is a readable article on thu subject m the current nun. her of Chambers' Journal. Before a man can become a driver he has, it seems, to spend some years in the locomo- tive works uf the company, where he learns all the part" and fittings of an engine ; b. is theu eligible for the post of fireman, and if he is made a driver within three or four years he u fortunate. It will therefore be that the engine-driver ic always com- petent. A man on being appointed a driver will try his hand at first with a slow goods train: aud having shown himself competent and careful he will then have charge of an ex- press goods or slow passenger train, and the might of his ambition is generally attained when he is called upon to drive such trains as the Flying Dutchman. An express train often travels at the rate of sixty miles an lour, and then signals will be passed about overy four minutes, and it can readily be understood that an engine travelling at that high rate of speed will require constant at- tention. The strain on a man's mind work- ing an engine a long distance without stop- ping is very great, and could not be endured for many hours together : besides, it would not be safe for un engine to travel more than i^( . u> 2.271 Black Prince, blk.h 2.'Ji>i io-.'25 Colonel Kip, br.g., by Ans- tos, jun 2.30 to 2.28 Called Back, ch.g., by Mark Field 2.28J to 2. 25} Henry R., br.g., by General Ktautnn 2.U8)j to 2.254 M.i M.I- .V., ch.g., by Major K.lsall 1.70 to 2.2 rabbit* and eighteen black puddings, London I I8 m ' le " Wltnoul '>"({ uxauuned, aud that measure."

This depends on thu driver. If he is of n cautious and steady turn of mind he will act up to the Ume-t*ble and be late rather than travel beyond the authorized speed.
