[From the Country Gentleman.J
Proper Mode of Yokine Oxen.

It has often been made a subject of remark,
when conyersing with those who nave been
helping us with OK teams. that the prevalent
mode of yoking was not very well adapted Ell
ther to the comfort of oxen, or to their using
their strength to the very best advantage. The
heavy yoke and the bare bows have always
been unpleasant sights to US, as they have al
ways brought with them the impression of be-
ing uncomfortable and harrassing to the poor
animals which worked with them. 1t has al
Ways seemed, too, that some other mode of har-
Messing or yoking oxen might be invented,
which would be less cruel and uncomfortable
at the same time better adapted to the animals
using his strength to the best advantage.
With such impressions long entertained, and
adhered to none the less for the jeers and ridi-
-cule of some who have made themselves merry
over what they called our excessive tenderness
for oxen, we were delighted, a short time ago.
in glancing over some notes of traveIin Hun
gary, to find that in that country the oxen (and
also cows are worked by pushing their fore
head against a padded board, to the ends of
which the traces are attached. We were pleased
also to learn that his is the mode of working
or Harvesting oxen which is very generally or
universally adopted throughout nearly all the
nations of continental Europe. The oxen so
worked are in no way injured for the butcher !;
they can also travel faster, chewing their cud
at the same time, and can work longer hours
with apparently less fatigue. In one district
of Hungary there are very few horses, the
whole of the work on the farms being done by
dairy cows The cows are generally worked
in relays of about three hours each per day,
and it is thought that this amount of excrcise is
rather conducive, than otherwise, to the seere-
ton of milk of a better quality.
The mode of yeking cows and cattle, is said
to be by using a board about six inches wide,
and two and a-half feet long, tapering to both
ends, TO which are attached hooks similar to
those used on the ends of swingle or whifie-
trees. This board has padding under it, and
is hung to the horns by two straps, which sus-
pend it across the forehead just below the
horns. The tarces are attached to the heck at
each end of the pushing board. By this mode
of Pushing it wonldappear that the animal has
thes1ine d pressure caused by the draught pass
ing straight along the backbone. From the
reports made as to this system of working OK
en- and from the teachings of mechanics and
of common sense, and considering especially
that the oxen or cows seem to draw their loads
or ploughs WIRE EASE, chewing their4cuds of
ten as they walk along. it seems as if this were
the proper mod of yoking them, and a mode
superior both in comfort and in efficiency to
that prevalent in this country.

Wintering Poultry.

/ em not sensible of having a touch Of the
poultry fever, but l am satisfied that farmers
might generally winter them IN a manner to re
eeive agreater profit to their outlay. For sew
sral years I ave adopted a plan which has
been a great improvement on the old one of
feeding them once or twice a day. Firstly,
they should have q place in which to winter
80 warm that-one seldom gets his comb frozen.
Mine winter under my horse barn, which is
-twenty-four by forty-eight feet. Under the
north half the barn is a cellar for roots, and the
bottom Of the sill a trife above the level of the
ground on the north end. The land descends
to the south, sufficiently to have on open she'd
under the south-half, which Is ten feet from
the ground to the sill, and has a good substan-
tal stone wall in lime mortar on the three sides
of it, but open to the south. Over this open
shed or open cellar aremy stables. and the ma
nure passes through the floor. This shed is
occupied by cows and poultry though the
poultry have the same range they had in sum-
mer. The roosting place is on the corner of
this shed Just before the siIls, with . shelf by
the side of the roostz As soon=as they require
feeding In the fall. I set a large box Of corn or
otherfoodo on the shelf and keep a goddsupPIy
bythem- Fora fortnight they viii consume
more food than before, then become fat, and the
rest of the winter I think they require no more
fosd than the old method. The result has in
yariably been, if they stop laying in December,
many Of them commencein january and Feb
ruary, and through the spring months do bet
ter than they did by the old treatment, and ifa
fat chicken is wanted they are sure to be found
without the tronbleo Of coping expressly to fat

THE TEEFoTAL ToAsT-BooK.

Though there is nothing very jovial
in the idea of total abstinence, and it is
difficult to get much jollity out of a
pump, we do not see why the teetotalers
should not adopt the practice of giving
Sentiments" when they drink, and
thus realizing the popular combination
of toast-and-water. We subjoin a few
specimens, which will be found suitable
to those aqueous associations, whose
members seem to look upon the garden
engine as the only really moral engine,
and the water-cart as the only vehicle of
progress.
A light heart and a heavy Watering.
May ewers always be mine, and ours
be ewers.
May the pump always give us its sue
May the pitcher of strength never
want the water of purity.
The noblest works o man-the water
works.
The pump-tho only true source of
liquid,
May sorrow find a watery grave,
A fig for my friend, and a pond for
my pitcher.

Errors in Composing Manure.

The farmers manure heap is usually the re-
ceptacle for every substance that has servedit
original purpose but it is a mistaken idea
that every thing thrown in there will serve o
useful purpose. We may, however, just say
here thattllis error has considerably influenced
farm practice. Belief in the alchemy rather
than the chemistry of the farm-yard, has led
persons to cart soil into the manure yard and
carry it back again with dung to the very field
from whence it was taken adding materially
to the bull and expense of %manuring. They
presumed hat they added to its value. Blu
the effect upon the farm-yard manure would be
merely to retard decomposition and thus might
be a loss or q gain according to circumstances
of soil and crop.
Animal substances, offal, and fish of every
description are also Improbable when applied
to farm-yard manure. The natural tendency
of animal substances to enter into the putrefac-
tive fermentation is well knowntO bethe great
er than that of vegetable substances. By pla-
cling them in the manure heap, we in a further
degree facilitate the quality in which they nat
urally excel, one of the tendencies of which is
to rob them of their most valuable elements,
nitrogen. Judieious practice should avoid
this error, by adopting, if possible, a system
having an opposite effect.
Lime is one of the substances which it is al
so an error to use with compost in which we
have farm yard manure. 1t is equally an er-
ror to mix lime with any compound rich in am
monia. The tendency of lime in all composts,
is to promote decomposition and to waste nj
trogen, which escapes, by union with hydro
gen, under the form of ammonia, which is the
very treasure of the dung heap, and of most
other manuring substances.-PRoF. NonToNis
