AID AEVil, that in 1872 or % be commenced the
substitution Of oxen FOR horses on his farm He
began in midsummer TO break up a field for wheat
FOR day or two the oxen suffered greatly with
the heat, in The middle Of The day, but By EisIng
early, and resting two or three hours Al noon ard
feeding On sry food, he was able 70 plov nearly
much with yoke Of cxen as with pair Of hOsses,
and the work was quite as well done. The horses
consumed aboat one bushel Of grain per dsy and
the oxen none. he found the result, kitsf a th0r-
ough Eial, 80 much in favor CT oxen, thsi he has
| ever since continued their use. For many years
| there was not a fur,ow Plowrd on bis farm except
BY oxen. He observes that oxen, il properly bro
ken, quite as readily, if not more 50, take 70 and
keep the furr0w, as horses His rule IS 10 keep
two yoke of oxen on the farm TO pair of horses
he well remarks, that, "t0 Judge OF the eapaoili-
ties OF the or, By the hady-used, houseless, over
tasked, and hsli-fed snimsis we some tunes see in

horse IN the same unseeling manner, and where

would speedily arrive al premature Old age,

where the Antverps succeed imperfecily. The
superiority of the Everbearing this, 10 point

A Nzw KIND sr CHzEsE-An esteemed friend,
in whose recipes ~ have great confidence, has
kindly furnished with the following method ion
making good cheese: Boil good white Potsloees
and when cold, peel and mash them til not a. lump

! and half Of sour milk, and as much sail A. nay
be deemed necessary to season the mass- Having
worked il WELL let il be covered, nom two 70 souI
days according 20 the state Of the weather. then
work again, make he cheese the size you like
!; and then bet them dry in the shade After tnsy
|. have become sufficiently dry, place them IN Pots
or pans, and let them remain a fortnight OF more
In this way cheese Of most excellent qualify
! may be made, and what is Of no small conss-
qaence, il can be kept for years without tie sight
est deterioration from the effects Of age, provided
il can be kePt dry. A friend Who has had he
