HOW TO KEEP HARNESS IN ORDER.

HOW TO KEEP HARNESS IN ORDER.
Observing the good condition and fine ap-
pcaranee Of the harness of AID. Baker, proprie'
tor of the most extensive livery establishment
in Rochester, we requested him to impart to US,
for publication, the modus operandi by which
so desirable result was achieved. In
compliance Herewith, he stated the course
adopted as the best and most economical. after
twenty years experience in business which
required considerable attention to tackling apa-
rat1s. His process of oiling and washing har-
ness is substantially as follows:
Take Meats Foot OIL, and Ivory or Patent
Black-the latter well pulverized. or to be made
so before using. Mix DEMONSTRATING the
black until the oil is well colored, or quite black
Ia cool weather the oil should be warmed
somewhat before mixing With a sponge APP
ply light coat Of the mixture-only what the
leather viii readily absorb, unless the harness
is very dry, in which case heavier coating Will
be necessary. After the harness is dry-which
viii be in two hours to half or whole day, de-
pending upon the weather and previous condi-
ton of the leather-waSh thoroughly with soap
suds. In making the suds, use good CASTLE
soap and cold rain water-(warm water should
never be used on harness leather.) Apply the
suds with sponge. Rub off with buckskin.-
This will give your harness a nice, glossy sur
face, and the leather will retain a good color
and continue plabe for months. If it becomes
soiled with mud, or SWEET, an application Of
soap and water as above directed, without oil
in@,) will be sufficient to give it bright ap-
pearance.
Two applications Of this oil and black mix
ture a year. or once every six months, will be
sufficient to keep harness, ifordinarily used, IN
good order. 1t may be necessary for livery men
and others who use harness constantly, to apply
the oil oftener-but in most cases two oilings
year, and washing with suds when soiled, viii
keep a harness in good trim for sight and ser
vice. This process will pay a large dividend in
extra service and durability-to say nothing Of
improved appearance.
AID. B. assures US that the same or a very
similar application, is just the thing for carriage
tops which are made of top-leather. The only
difference in treatment is, that less oil should
be used, or ratheI a lighter coating applied
and il should be washed off before driving in,
top leather being thin and much more penetra-
bic than harness. OF course this mixture would
not answer for euameed leather, Of which
some carriage tops are constructed.-LRural

Ho'c TO Raise F7tt Eray Kar.--If rightly
understood, few trees, unless absolutely dead or
rotten, need occupy ground, without yielding
a plenteous crop. After along and varied Sc
ries of experiments, l gradually adopted the
following mode: As soon as the winter has
efficiently disappeared, and before the sap as
cends, exemine my trees; every bough is lop-
ped off, then after the sap has risen sufficiently
to show where the blossoms viii be, l cut away
all the other branches having none on, and also
the extremity of every limb the lower part of
which beares considerable number Of buds
thus concentrating the sap of the tree upon the
maturation of its fruits, and saving what would
be q useless expenditure of strength. In the
ounce, apricot and peach trees, this is very apt
to be luXlriant in leaves, and destitute of fruit
Iou may think this Injuries the trees, but it
does not for you will find trees laden with fruit,
which formerly yielded nothing. OF course, all
other wellknown precautions must be attended
TO, such as cutting out worms from the roots,
placing old iron on the limbs, which acts as a
tonic to the sap, &c. Tryit ye who have fail
ed in raising fruit.-Fdrmor and Mechanic.

Chestnut Trees.-On poor land or a rocky
soil, the chestnut is one of the most profitable
forest trees that can be cultivated. Its growth
is very rapid, the timber is always in good de-
mand, and the fruit is of considerable value
Some cultivate this tree for its fruit alone. None
grow larger, and few more symmetrically; its
blossoms are handsome and unique, and SO are
its golden bur5 and rich nuts. Parks and pleas
ure grounds should always be supplied with
chestnut trees; also with the black walnut and
best varieties of the hickory nut Strange that
these splendid fruit trees should be almost os-
traciscd from ornamental grounds; it is mere
mother countries they are highly priced and
carefully cultivated American Agriculturist.

HAPPINESS.


IT'S not in beauty, this viii fade,
And pass like morning dews away;
IT'S not in all the charms of fame,
Which like the summer flowers decay.
It's not in gold or glidering gems,
Which dazzle like the suns bright beams,
IT'S not in pleasure, this will pass
Like joys Of early, happy dreams.
But tits in virture bright and fair,
Which joys unfading can impart.
1t is in kindness-melting power,
That softens down the stubborn heart
1t is In hope, which, like the sun,
Makes earth with fairest Aowerets bloom;
1t is in friendship, warm and true,
Which lives the same beyond the tomb.
It's in love, heavenly love,
The richest boon to mortals given;
That love which time can never change,
But constitutes this earth heaven.
