BARN BURNED.--We are sorry to state that the barn and contents of R. McLeod,'6fh con., were destroyed by fire last Saturday morning from lightning. He had threshed a few days before hence lost his season's crop. Mr. McLeod had some insur- anca in the Howick Mutual but that will fall far . short of compensating him for his loss. CLOSE Cauu.---Last Saturday af- ternoon while working in the gravel pit on the Robert McDonald farm, 9th con. a cave-in occured by which Roy Cunningham had a close call for his life. His father was also work- ing in the same place and was caught too_but was able to clear himself by his bands and rushed to his son's rescue. The latter was injured in the back, right arm and right leg but will soon be able to get around as usual his many friends hope. It was almost a miracle he was not killed LIGHTNING KILLED It. -- This week, Wm. Armstrong, 9th con., missed one of his fine Tamworth brood sows but thought it was like- lyin the bush. Tuesday morning when he went to one of the back fields to plow he found it dead by the fence. He thinks: it was killed by lightning as the fence bore evi- dence of the electric contact. The animal would weigh about 300 pounds and was worth at least $40.

Of all the bad habits horses may have, balking is the most aggravat- ing. Nothing tries one's patience ing. more than to hitch upin a hurry, anxious to be off, only to find, upon climbing into the vehicle, that the horse is not ready to go, and prob- ably will not be for an hour or so. A balky horse usually stands and looks back, as if it expected some- thing to happen from the rear, and it yery seldom is disappointed, for the driver usually makes the air hot with a volley of words and the his- sing of the whip. His words usually have no meaning to those who hear him and expect him to use common sense, and of course have absolutely no meaning to the horse, who un- derstands but few words of the En- glish language. Of course the 'horse becomes more and more confused and his senses more and more blunted. If you must yell and slash with the whip, you had better sing a song and step to one side and slash the fence. The horse's confusion would change to astonishment and he would prob- ably move off.. No horse balks simp- ly because he wants to stand, there is a reason fora horse balking the first time ; several repetitions of the cause, followed by the consequent act becomes a habit, and the habit remains when the cause has long ceased to exist. The old, confirmed balkers have long since forgotton the cause of his balking, but he contin- ues the habit, just like the man who began using tobacco for dyspepsia, but continues its use alter the dy- spepsia has ceased. Often in teach- ing classes men would. say that.they had a horse that would not start just when they wanted him to, and that the horse wss a balker. Balking is a confused, inactive and almost in- eaaite condition of the mind. A horse has a very strong will of his own, and as you turn toward the stable door, that will of his is fixed on going into the stable. Before reaching the stable door you pull the line for him to go into another dir- ection. Now there are two oppos- ing forces working on his mind, that powerful will to go to the stable and a strong pull on the bit to go away from the stable. Since he can think of but one thing at a time he become confused and sullen and stops, and when he is hitched by the side of a slow, sluggish horse the comman "aet-up" is given and the ambitious borse leaps forward promptly, only to get a jerk on his tender shoulders and mouth, because the other horse did not obey at once. This repeated a few times, he becomes . confuse because he was jerked for going for ward and whipped for -going back- wards. and, in his confusion, he could only stand and prance. I have seen men of keen intellect, who were entertaining talkers in ordinary con- versation, arise before an audience with a well prameditated speech, and be unable to say a word, and become so confused that they could hardly tell their own name and not know enough to sit down. It is something of the same condition of mind the balking horse gets into. It would be brutal to abuse the man because bis mind became inactive in the new surroundings, and it is still more brutal to abuse the balking horse with its meagre mentality. You will find horses with bad habits has been brought about by a severe : accident or very foolish or ignorant handling. Horses like, the best of people may in self-defence be driven to desperate acts. E. Pestell, Old Country horse trainer and tamer. Monkton.
