The Family-Man,

BY JOHN G. SAKE.
I once was jolly young beau,
And knew how to pick up fan,
But I've done with all that, you must know,
For now I'm family man.
when "partner - I yentured to sakes
The ladies all favored the PLAN
They vowed was certain to make
&C Such an excellent family man "a
Ii l travel by land or by water,
have charge of some Susan or Ann;
Mrs. Jones is sure that her daughter,
Is safe with family man ~
The truRks and the band boxes round EN-,
With something like horror seen,
But though mutter, :" Gonfound EN- -

I once was as gay as tepaplar,
But leyity's now under BAN
Young men must have an exemplar,
And 1 am family man :.
The club.men meet in the city,
All treat me as well as they cam
And only exclaim, g What a pity
Poor Tom is a family man -

Ten children-from David to Dan

But then I'm family man

Aorifnltnral,
Breaking Steers.


The following sensible remarks OF
the management Of young cattle fortht
yoke, were read before the Farmers
Club Of Concord, Mass, by Charles
A. Hubbard -
"I have found that by far the best
time to train steers is when they are
calves-say the first winter. OxeE
that are trained when quite young are
much more pliable and obedient, and
this adds much to 5heir value. Steers
that run until they are three or foul
years old, are dangerous animals to en-
counter They are always running
away with the cart or sled whenevel
there is a chance for them, and otter
serious injury is the result, I would
not recommend working steers hard
while young, as it prevents theil
growth there is a difference between
working them and merely training
them.
i have observed that very little at
tention is paid by our farmers to train
their steers to hack, but as they be-
come able to draw considerable load
forward, they are often numerically
beaten Oh the head and face, because
they viii not back cart OF sled with
as large load as they can draw for
ward, forgetting that much pains has
been taken to teach them to draw for-
ward, but none to teach them to push
backward.
q To remedy the occasion Of tbs
humping, as soon as / have taught
my steers to be handy, as it is called,
and to draw forward, place them on a
cart where the land is little descend
'ng in this situation they will soon
learn to back it. Then I place them
on a level land, and exercise them
there. Then teach them to back a
cart up land that is a. little rising, the
cart having no load in as vet. When
/ have taught them to stand up to the
tongue as they ought, and back an
empty cart, next either put a small
load in the cart, or take them to where
the land rises faster, which answers the
same purpose thus in a few days they
can be taught to back well to know
how to do it, and by little use after
ward they viii never forget
"This may appear Of little conse-
quence to some, but when it is remem-
bered how frequently we want to back
load, when we are at work with our
cattle, and how convenient it is to have
our cattle back well, why should we
not teach them for the time when we
wantthemthus to lay out their rstrength?
Besides it often saves blows and vexa-
tions, which is considerable when one
is in hurry. l never consider pair
of oxen well broke until they will back
with ease any reasonable load, and I
would give very considerable sum
more for yoke Of oxen thus tutored,
than for yoke not thus trained"
The Lambertville press., 1859-12-07

STICK TO THE FARM Amid your
plans for the future, never, for one
moment, harbor the idea Of bettering
your condition by entering into the
busy arena of commercial life Do
not exchange home Of quiet, real
enjoyment for the turmoil and illusion
of city residence Barter not sweet
repose for visions Of empty wallets,
or let notes due on the morrow assume
the prerogatives Of the nightmare
Very poor comforts for care and anxi-
ETY. are these little realities in the COM
mercial world. Stick to the farm, =
What though hard labor be the every
day command, it is noble, healthful,
and conducive to full Development OF
the whole man.

To Obtain Fruit from Barren
Trees.

A correspondent of the American
Agriculturist says " | wish to des-
cribe to you a method of making fruit
trees bear that / blundered on to-
Some fifteen years ago I had a small
apple tree that leaned considerably; I
drove stake by it, tied a string to
limb and fastened it to the stake. The
next year that limb blossomed full, and
not another blossom appeared on the
tree, and as Tim Bunker said, "it sot
me thinking" and I came to the con-
clusion that the string was SO tight
that it prevented the sap returning to
the roots, consequently, it formed fruit
buds. Having couple of pear trees
that were large enough to bear, but
that had never blossomed, I took a
coarse twine, wound it several times
around the tree above the lower limbs,
and tied it as tight as | could. The
next Spring all the top above the cord
blossomed, as white as sheet, and
there was not one blossom below where
the cord was tied. a neighbor seeing
my trees loaded with pears, used this
method with the same result. I have
since tried the experiment on several
trees, always with the same result. [
have since tried the experiment on sew
eral trees, always with the same result
think it much better way than cut
ting off the roots. In early summer,
say June or July, wind strong twine
several times round the tree, or a sin
gle limb, and tie it, the tighter the bet
ter, and you will be pleased with the
suit; the next Winter or Spring the
cord may be taken off.

To CLEAN GREEN CURRANTs. IAN
expeditions way ofcleaning green cur
rants from stems and grit, is to rub
them well and hard in handful or
more Of -four, then rub them in sieve,
wash them well in several waters, spread
en- papers to dry, stir frequently if lot
driving in an oven but they are bet
ter dried on folded cloth in the SUM-
Pioneer Fngmey.

A POLICE OFFICE. The prisoner,
whose name was Dick Swivel, alias
"stove pipe Pete" " was placed at the
bar.
Judge-Bring the prisoner in court.
Pete-HeFe I am. bound to blaze,
as the spirits Of turpentine said, when
1t was all fire,
We will take the fire out of you.
How do you live
amt particular, as the oyster said
when they asked him if he'd be roasted
or fried.
We don't want to hear what the oys-
ter said, or the spirits of turpentine.
What do you follow
Anything that comes IN my way, as
the locomotive said when he run over
a man.
Don't care anything about the loco-
motiye-what is your business !?
That's various, as the cat said when
she stole the chicken.
That comes nearest to the line, I
suppose.
Altogether in my line, as the pirate
said when it was choking the pirate.
If / hear any more absurd compari-
SONS, l will give you twelve months.
I'm done, as the beefsteak said to
the cook.

SAVING TIME.-A clergyman who
enjoys the substantial benefits of fine
farm, was slightly taken down few
days ago, by his Irish ploughman, who
was sitting at his plough, in tobacco
field, resting his horse. The reverend
Gentleman, being an economist, said
with great seriousness, "John, wouldn't
it be good plan for you to have
stub scythe here and be hubbing few
bushes along the fence, while the horse
is resting 2" John, with as serious
countenance as the divine wore himself,
replied, wouldn't it be well, sir, for
you to have tub of potatoes in the
pulpit, and when they are singing, to
peel 'em awhile, to be ready for the
pot !" The reverend gentleman
laughed heartily and left.
