county of Westmoreland, vlioro "Wash
ington wns born. Two hundred ami
forty-novon years ngo I ho traveler from
Europe, aa lii ship, worn by months of
storms, nailed up 1ho broad Potomac,
which is lioro four and ono-hnlf miles
tuJg, might havo seen a low, ono-storv,
(fambrol-roofed house on tho shore of rt
creek on hit, right. Tho house was a
large and magnificent one for thoso dajs,
and wan surrounded by offices and negro
cabins. While Uio traveler was watch
ing Uio sccno on tho shore tho ship was
Bailing up tho creek, and anchoring in
front of tho house, sent its owner tho
mncli-needed clothing and other articles
of wear, and Uio latest news from Lon
don. Tho sight that struck the traveler's
oyo was novel and pleading. The house
was only half a mile from tho rner, and
morass tho nver the shores of Maryland
worn to bo seen, aud a clear sweep of the
rhur down to whero it poured into the
Chesapeake Bay Down by tho mouth of
tko creek the soil was rich and mouldy,
Mad Uio rice and Indian corn llourished;
near at hand tho soil was sandy and cov
ered with huckleberries, cranberries and
chincapiu bushes. Behind on the low
lands, a clump of live-oaks, cellars and
cypresses gavo n partinl air of gloomy
quiet to the place. Higher up on the
background on Uio ridges between the
crocks, grew tho forests primeval of ash,
oak, beech and hickory. In summer the
clearing around the house was brilliant
witti tho color of the May apple, tho yel
low jasmine, Uio acacia and red-llowenng
chestnut. At the left of Uio house were
tho hazel bushes, where grew Uie jcas,
beans and vetches for fodder and food.
In tho kilclieu garden were Uie mnycock
asd niaracock and the sonorously-named
t&aganockomingc. Among the fow flow
ers carefully tended under Uie windows
tho cardinal and moccasin flowers were
for Uio first time cultivated. Over Uie
pities of Uio house the wax myrtle crept,
front whoso berries Uio green tinted,
pleasant scented candles wero made for
viator's use. Tho wild turkey, nnoil
and partridgo crept around Uie outskirts
of tho wood, and Uie monotonous croon
ing of Uio negroes at work was varied by
tho -song of tho'tnrtle dove, red bird,
mocking bird and Baltimore oriole, as
Uiey flashed through Uie branches of tho
trees, and down the mcr tho shrill cries
of curlew, crano and heron were heard.
To-day -iiiero are no negroes, no forest,
no hoass, and its site is only marked by
H rudo stone laid there by George Wash

At Uio time of Washington's birth,
"Westmoreland county, considered in its
' motaral and topographical aspect and its
itptitede for commerce and cultivation,
Mi one of Uie fluest in Uie land. At
w jButt timo Boston, Uio largest place in
New England, whero Uio population was
oi compact hod but 40,000 inhabi
tants, lliclimond was not laid out and
' Norfolk was not incorporated. Hills ran
through Uie country northeast and south
west, with spurs toward tho river. The
surface of the land was divided into
hilly, flat and low. The front on the
Potomac was indented with many inlet
aud creeks. Of these the more imiort
Bt were Uio Yocomico, Nommy, Pojie's,
Bridgo's, Mattox, Mnnroo and Hosier's.
These were navigable for a few miles; on
their banks wero the chief settlements of
ibo early planters. The earliest mention
of "Westmoreland county was in July,
1653, when it was said to contain Uie land
from Uio Machoactoke river whero Mr.
Cole lived, and up tho great river Paw
tomake above the Kescostin's town, and
was to be taken out of Northumberland
eoanty, which in 16M8 comprised the
whole neck of land now known as the
"North Keck," lying between the Poto-
- 7KOC and Bappahannock rivers. Since
teen the connty lias been shorn of its fair
proportiona, and now comprises a tract
of HBd only thirty miles long by eight
or ten w ido, lying wholly on the Potomac
B tho extreme Northeastern part of Uio
fUete. Thero were and aro now town-
" skips in Uie county or State, as was tho
OM4 in New England, where the people
flecked together. This was owing to
Mbe fact that Uio early inhabitants settled
pa the banks of the creeks in families,

everything needed outside of their own
yeeources, Tho political divisions wero
entities and parishes ond vico vorsa. In
WJM&ington't time there were only two
Mkriskes in Westmoreland county, and
tmo of these eprcad over part of another.
Te this country in 1057 came John ash

Ono or tfio most prolific eourcca of
loss to tho farmer, writes t corre
spondent of The Country Gentleman,
is tho habit of investing somo por
tion of liis capital in unsuccessful
ventures. Tho farmer whoso pork
costs moro to fatten than it is worth
when sold, has investod n portion of
his capital unprofUnbly, and moots
with losst Tho ihrmor who raises
any loud of stock for snlo nt a
greater cost than tho animals aro
worth, has invested his capital un
profitably. So has tho farmor who
grows crops which cost him too
niuoh; whothor it bo by reason of
poor quality, or tho unnecessary cx
peuso of cultivation. Tho farmer
who allows his buildings to becomo
dilapidated and his fences insecure,
has invested his capital unprofUnbly.
Tho fermer who allows his fields to
becomoless fortilo from year to year
who is content to plow around tho
sarao stumps and harrow over the
same troublesome boulders from year
to year who allows his fields to go
unurainod and becomo moro thickly
seeded with foul seeds each succeed
ing season is certainly not invest
ing his capital in tho moat profitable
manner. It is necessary that a
farmer should cultivate somo profit
nblo crops in order to compensate
him for tho losses that may creep
into his business through negligence
Farmers also havo a tendency at
times to embark in speculation,
which almost invariably entails loss.
Among these speculations, nnd tho
most pernicious, may bo classed all
tho various agoncies for farm implo
monts. Other speculations promise
much, such as buying faun produce
for commission houses, selling fruit
trees, and buying up cattle, etc. I
have known intelligent, industrious
farmers to indulge in ventures out
side of legitimate farming, and of all
thoso whom I havo known to en
gage in these tempting speculations,
uot one has succeeded in retaining
his farm. Tho vonturc of whatover
naturo is allnring at first and
promises a golden return, aud tho
farmer engaged in the speculation
forgets that Tie is a farmer, his stock
and crops are neglected, no acquires
xcponsivo habits, and his new bust
iicss fails to support his family, so
his farm must be and is sacrificed.
Too often the downhill road is trav
eled at a quicker trail. Tho farmer
engaged in business with unscrupu
lous men and becoming involved,
sacrifices his farm to sarao himself
from a worse fate.
Another investment which docs
not pay most farmers, not because
the' should not go into it, but be
cause thoy have a very limited
knowledgo of what is required, is in
vesting money in fancy stock. The
farmer who buys thoroughbred
stock, very often docs so with the
intention of breeding that stock and
selling to his neighbors. This is a
very good thing, aa otherwise tho
great mass of farmers could not bo
come possessed or well brod stock.
But there arc a dozon pitfalls into
which the farmor engaged in breed
ing fancy stock may tall. Ho may
pay moro than the stock he buys is
worth. Ho may engage in breeding
stock for which thero is iiotaufKcieul
dornund. Ho may meet with losses
from sickness or accidont. Ho may
not havo tho success in selling which
ho anticipated, and quits tho busi
ness in disgust, after having been
engaged in it for a fow years, and at
a loss of several hundred dollars. To
engage successfully in a stock-breeding
speculation requires, among
other things, good business ability,
patience to wait through all tho re
verses which may occur; somo
money, and good local advantages.
Many would-be breeders fail for lack
of ordinary bueiness ability. When
a farmor fails in breeding fine stock,
he will find that he has invested his
capital injudiciously.
Another farmer will purchase too
much and too costly farm machinery
more than his farm will pay for
using. On the other hand, a farmer
who uses no machinery of any sort
makes an equally grave mistake. Ho
has made an unprofitable investment
of tho capital represented by his own
tirno and musclo. There aro many
ways in which a farmer may invest
his capital so that it will uot only
fail to be profitable, hut actually bo
a detriment to his business. Thero
aro many leaks to bo guarded against,
which require all his vigilunco to
prevent. When all the leaks on tho
furm aro properly stopped, then, and
only then, will it be found how
profitably farming may bo conducted.

great reason why the farmers of Iowa
havo not prospered moro than they havo
in tho past 10 years has leen their in
debtedness. Within u few years it lias

There Is h story going tho rounds
of tho French psiksnj, and nccopted
as truth in Paris, being vouched for
by ft Fronolt travolor who lived
in intimacy with tho princess of
Afghanistan. Shero All, Uio lato
ameer, father of Yakoob Klian, was a
man subject to fits of emotional in
sanity. Ho was especially Btrong In

favorite Bon moro than otico over

turns ferocious and kindly, with man

onta princo and a Mohammedan,
onco "loved and lost" llko any ordi
nary Christian lovor. Ou tho north
crn boundary of Afghanistan is a
country full of stoppos, tho homo of
a Tartar tribo called Kirguisoos.
Twolvo years ago tho ruler of this
tribo was an old chief of 82 named
Davoud. Ho had threo children
two sons and a daughtor, tho Prtn
cess Eminoh. Tho eons quarrolo'd and
slow each other. Tho princess, on
her father's death, remained head of
tho tribo, which was not rostnetcd
by a Salic law. Sho was vory beau

Her mothor had boon a Cir
cassian of tho Greek church, but
sineo, after her ranrriago, sho had
tiecn cut ott trom all connection with
tho church of her fathers, sho wel
comed a n outpost of Sisters of St.
Vincent do Paul, which had been es
tablished in her husband's country
by missionary enterprise, and her
daughtor Eminoh had been brought
up in tho faith of Homo. There was
one French Sister named Stcphanio,
who becamo the especial guardian
aud protectress of the fVioudlcss
girl. A few weeks after the death of
Davoud Khan, tho subjects of tho
princess sent an old witch to her, im
ploring her to marry spoodily. Mean
time, Shore Ali, advised of tho death
of Davoud, was preparing to ivnnox
tho country to his tribo. Ho
marched toward tho dominions of
Eminch; but, expecting little resist
ance, ho approached the royal tents
in a peaceful guise. Eminoh went
out to meet him on horseback, and
invited him into her tout. Thero ho
rested and dined. The next day
thoy went together on a hunting ex
pedition. Tho young khans who
composed tho ameor's military fam
ily rcmarkod that ho was gayer that
ovening than ho had boen known to
bo for years. His oyos wero fixod
upon tho fair Emineh. "J3o wary,"
said tho witch to her next morning.
"Daughtor," said Sister Stophanie,
"do not forgot that you aro a Chris
tiau." Shoro Ali crow moro and
moro in love. Being a Mohamme
dan, bo did not do his courting in tho
Frank fashion, but, liko tho heroes of
the "Arabian .Nigbta, ho becamo a
prey to raolancholy. Alter linger
ing a considerable time upon tho
steppes, he found an occasion to de
clare his love to Emineh. Sho was
not insensible to his pasBion, nnd
would gladly havo accepted tho de
votion that ho offered her. But
could sho, with her purer faith, so
bestow herself in marriage. "My
daughter," saidj Sister Stephanie,
"tho ameer knows you aro a Chris
tian; ask him to make you his sole
wife in tho sight of God and man."
Tho demand was mado. Shore Ali
was in despair. Ho could not in
honor dismiss the mothors of his
sons, and ho was of too noble a na
ture to make promises before mar
liago which he intended to break
afterward. In vain ho tried tho arts
by which lovers often overcomo tho
resolutions of thoir ladies. Emineh
was firm. His suito and his o Ulcers
represented to him tho terriblo com
plications that would arise from the
dismissal of his harem. Ono morn
ing, almost besido himself, icaviug
his troops to rotiro with less basic,
ho set spurs to his horsonnd galloped
away from Emineh. Tho princess,
left to herself, becamo utterly miser
able. Her subjects roproachod her
bitterly; only Sister Stephanie sus
tained her resolution, rinding her
people mutinous, and believing her
own heart broken forever, Princess
Emineh took the veil, loaving bet
dominions, with tho approval of her
subject khans, to Shero Ali. Tho
ameer himself told this Btory to tho
traveler, and, sending for u casket
enriched with pearls and precious
stones, drew from it a tress of long
black balr. Ho had possessed him
self of it by threatening tho nuns to
burn down their convent if it were
not given him.

Tho ordlnwy forwor, in this State,
peets to break his own colta to either the
1 arm wagon or buggy, Tho services of a
professional horso-brcakcr aro seldom
called into requisition, but thb ordinary
farm hands, under tho farmors own
direction, aro considered sufttoiont. Of
eourno methods of hovso-breakiiig differ,
but tho bent authorities now agree Uiat
training should be commenced early,
aud that Uio young horso should never
bo permitted to learn anything which
must afterwards Iki unlearned, A few
hints on tho most approved methods limy
uot Boom out of place.
It may bo said with roforonco to horse
breaking, thut the farmor is tho person
who raises and trains tho greater propor
tion of Uio horses engaged in tho traftlo
of town and country, besides thoso ho
uses himself. Most of the horses which
aro attached to drays, street-ears, bug
gies, etc., might have been seen, a1, an
earlior period in Uioir lives, harnessed to
plow, harrow, or lumber-wagon. Tho
farm may bo called tho natural nursery
and traiuing-Bchool for tho horso, where
his powers devolope tlicmsehos. A
farmer's colt possessed of superior
qualities soon finds his way to a larger
field of activity, as ambitious farmers'
boys in duo season push for tho larger
risks and moro glittering prizes of tho
crowded metropolis.
Tho breaking of a horse should com
mence as soou aa ho is weaned, which is
in tho autumn of the year. As noon as
ho is taken from his mother, a hood-stall
should be put On;' and tho colt should be
led about the yard for half an hour every
uay. no aiionni oo spoken to on on ami
caressed, ami as soon as ho feels confi
dence in his master, ho should bo curried
off, fed from tho baud, aud in every way
mado accustomed to the daily presence
of men. Thin may bo called the prepar
ation for the breaking proper.
In spring the young horse may be
turned out to pasture on tho lulls, if pos
sible, for our mountain grasses are mi
equaled for Btock. As opportunity offers
ilunug Uio suiumor, ho may bo token up
and trained a Uttlo, when lio will gener
ally show that ho has not forgotten his
previous lessons. Home of tho breaking
harness may now be put on, such us the
breast-straps, and tho bock-bond and
crupper. Some farmers begin to woik o
horso at two years of age, but w o consider
tho system injudicious. The K-st plan
is to allow him anoUior summer at gross,
and moderate training with occasional
light work.
Aftor tho third winter, or when tho
colt is past three, the real work of break
ing must begiu. Tho ouo scoiet of Mie-
cesvslnl breaking of u horse is to rightly
accustom his mouth to the bit. This is
called "making his month." It requires
that tho mouth be, by proper training,
endued with tho right degree of sensi
bility, neither too hard nor too soft, nor,
which is worso, uneven, that is, ono side
being border Uiau the other. There are
many curious and expensio machines for
tho operation of "mouthing," or as it is
often called, "bitting" a horse, but nmio
of thom possess any jiarticulor advantage
over a good circingle with a crupper and
sido buckles attached, together with a
stronff bridle and a proper bit. Thero is
a difference of opinion us to tlio'best form
of bit, but wc oftenest 6e u plain bar bit
Iwtwecn six ond seven inches wide and
about ono inch thick. If this bit is prop
crlv adiusted. with the roins to the cir
cinglo mado tho same length on each
sido. tho nressuro will bo coual. Tho
headstall must be buckled so closely that
Uio animal cannot get his tongue over tLu
bit. The horse should stand in tho stall,
with this bittinn harness on. ond should
at times lw allowed to wolk about tho
yard. Ho may also bo trotted, but novor
galloped, andno attempt must be mado
A . f-11-?- .?Al. Al. l.at ha4al la.a rt Ala
u guuig mm wiui mo un uiiiu inn uiumu
is formed. The sides of tho mouth should
bo examined daily, and, if they nhow
signs of sorenoss, uso sweet oil or glycer
ine, and substitute a wooden bit for tho
iron ono, for a few days at least.
When the horse seems well bitted ho
ma3 bo driven with long reins, but there
should bo an asaistunt besido him ha ing
hold of the halter. This is the point
whero many horses aro spoiled by trying
tojcontrol the horso mainly by tho bit lo
fore the mouth is projwrly trained. By
duo patience and persoverance ut this
stage tho horso is ready for doing orae
work. By this time he"will have become
accustomed to having iwrsons about
him, and may bo harnessed up to an
ordinary breaking cart, which is strongly
built aud has long shafts, which keep
the horse Bomo distance forward; or ho
may bo harnessed to a farm wagon, be
side a steady old horso. In cither cose
treat him with due consideration; drivo
him only half a day, and watch his
shoulders carefully, for ho must not lie
allowed to associate the idea of discom
fort with his earliest labor.
This may seem liko a slow process, but
it is, in the cud, much tho most satisfac
tory. Wo havo known plenty of colts
who were broken ou tho plan of harness
ing thom up fresh from tho field, wiUi
tho aid of a dozen men, and lotting them
run and fret for miles, until utterly ex
hausted, until a few weeks of such driv
ing reduced them sufficiently to bo called
"broken." But no such plan over makes
a qniet, good-toniperod hoise. Tho only
animal worth driving is ono which,
whilst being spirited, is nevertheless en
tirely manageable, and such horses
always sell for enough moro money to
pay for the difference in tho cost of train
ing. HiATfiii MniirnK'H MoNDMKNT. Two
