How Horses are Made Stylish.
The New York Times "gives away"
some of the secrets of Training Schools
•for horses, and shows how jockeys
manage to transform an ordinary
roadster into a high-stepping carriage
horse, with a thoroughbred air about
him. To a reporter of the Times a
veteran veterinary surgeon said :
The great thing is to make a horse
look like a thoroughbred. 1 'don't sup-
pose you know what a thoroughbred i s.
He is a horse with a pedigree, with
bine blood in his veins, of good stock
for many - generations. Any judge' of
horses can tell one in a minute. I will
tell -you of some of his characteristics.
His neck, to begin` with, is beautifully
curved. He holds his bead up, with
his chin drawn in toward his breast
when, in harness. He has delicate legs
and feet almost like a deer. He is a
succession of lines of beauty. His
neck is not set in his body, as if a car-
penter put it there, but joins it gently
and gracefully with a long sweep. His
body immediately behind the fore legs
comes down almost to a point. After a
slight curve in the fore part of his back,
his back is almost straight all the way
to the tail. He lifts his feet high when
he walks. His tail falls with a grace-
ful arch, and hangs like a festoon at
the back. Look at one of the fine
thoroughbreds you see on the race
tracks. Just in front of the hind legs
you can span him with your arms. But
measure that horse around the body,
just behind the fore legs, and you will
find he is as big around as an elephan-
tine dray horse. Here lies his strength
and staying power. His heart and
lungs are large and work with great
power. When he comes in from a long
race his lungs work like a mill. This
is not because he is exhausted—it is a
sign of health, strength, vitality. His
ankles are hardly bigger than your
wrist, but take a section of bone out of
the ankle of a thoroughbred, and a sec-
tion of the same length out of the ankle
of a cart horse ; although the latter
may be twice as large in circumference
the piece out of the thoroughbred will
weigh the heavier. The thoroughbred's d
bones are solid, compact, and heavy, 1
while the bones of the common horse a
are spongy and weak. It is on the
same principle that some gentlemen
with wrists like a woman's are stronger a
than gigantic laborers. This is the °
perfect horse. He is found in the best 8
estate in Arabia. The Anglo Arabian i P
horses rank next. All our finest W
thoroughbreds are Anglo -Arabians." c
Formerly this was done by nicking the
tail on the under side, so that it became
sore, and the horse then held it up be-
cause it pained him whenever it touch-
ed his body. But Mr. Bergh considered
this cruel, as it undoubtedly was, and
put a stop to it in this city. As soon as
the head and neck are right the horse
is fastened in a stall, with a pulley in
the ceiling immediately over his tail, a
cord is put through this pulley, with a
weight of ten or fifteen pounds on one
end. The other end is fastened to the
upper part of the horse's tail. - The
weight keeps the tail elevated, and
gives- it a pretty curve. It does not
answer to do this while the mouthing=
iron is at work, for the unusual sensa-
tions at mouth and tail at the `same
time would fret him too much, and,
perhaps, injure his health. 'There is
some little risk in the tail improve-
ment. The horse will fight hard
to whisk his tail out of the fastening, so

legitimate training. Some of it, per-
haps, is cruel. I will describe it to you
and you may draw your own conclu- . co

eagerness for large domains and whole-
sale farming by machinery, in the in-
sane eagerness which provides nearly
all kinds of ' business to heap together
large fortunes, is not necessarily at-
tended with satisfaction or success, we
give the substance of an account fur-
nished by a correspondent of the Coun-
try Gentleman of the 50 -acre farm of a
man who does everything well. He
}ham, a snug cottage of eight rooms, a
large barn with the really useful im-
provements, fences all post and rail,
bushes and weeds in eternal exile, and
the whole place fair to look upon as
well as to live on. All manure and
droppings are absorbed and saved ; his
corn goes to pork, his carrots and tur-
nips to beef, and more manure. Ma-
nure and thorough tillage give good. re-
sults. This man lives well ; eats
turkeys, eats eggs, eats lam, and the
best fruits and vegetables. He . dresses
well, rides in -a carriage, has a good
pew in church, and sends his children
to good schools. His wife is not worked
to death, and has a piano in the parlor.
He pays about $50 a year for help, and
does much of his owu work. No rich
uncle ever left him any property ; he
began by owning half his farm, which
is now worth over $5,000. Is not his
life a greater success than that of the
man who wears himself out in trying
to get very rich on 3,000 acres, fails,
and dies poor ?—Cor. Country Gentleman.
Household. Recipes.
Apple pudding.—Grate three slices of
stale bread, and slice thinly eight or ten
apples, according to size. Butter a
small, yellow nappy or a pudding mould,
scatter in a layer of crumbs and some
bits of butter over them, then a layer
of the sliced apples, with a little sugar
and a sprinkling of cinnamon, or all-
spice, or grated lemon ; and so continue
until the dish is well filled. The upper
layer should be of bread crumbs and
bits of butter. Bake according to the
length of time the apples require for
cooking.
Apple Shortcake.—Make a shortcake
as usual, with a tablespoonfiul of sugar
added. When baked, break open, or
cut with a hot knife, and spread with
nice fresh butter, then with thick sauce
made of stewed sour apples well sweet-
ened. Put together again, and set in
the wen five or ten minutes. Serve
with cream and sugar.
Wine Cake.—Here is a recipe for
wine cake which is not expensive, and
which keeps well : Take one cup of
sugar, half a cup of butter, one cup and
a half of flour, one cup of stoned raisins,
half a cup of wine, two eggs, hall a tea-
spoonful of soda ; add spices to suit your
taste. Be sure to dust the raisins well
with flour before putting them in ; do
not use for this purpose any of the
amoent of flour given in the recipe, -as
all that is needed to make the douah
his the proper consistency. Bake in a slow
im- . oven, with buttered paper._in the bottom
tise of the tin.
Omelet.—For. an omelet, which is a
uld favorite dish with iaany excelleLt cooks,
arm use this rule : Beat the yolks of six
ggs and the whites of three till the
are very light; take one teacup o
ream, if you can get it (milk will an
