RREAKING sTEERs.

The following sensible remarks on the
management OF young cattle for the yoke
were read before the Farmers Club of
Concord, Mass, by G. ~ Hubbard:
! have found that by far the best time
to train steers is when they are calves
say the first winter Oxen that are
trained when quite young, are much
more pliable and obedient, and this adds
much to their value. Steers that run
until they are three or four years old,
are dangerous animals to encounter. 49,
They are always running away with the
cart or sled whenever there is n chance
for them, and often serious injury is the
result. | would not recommend working
steers hard while young, as it prevents
their growth there is difference be-
tween working them and merely training
them. | have observed that very little
attention is paid by our farmers to train
ing their steers to back, but as they be-
come able to draw considerable for
ward, they are often numerically beaten
on the head and face, because they will
not back a cart with as large a load as
they can draw forward, forgetting that
much pains has been taken to teach them
to draw forward, but none to teach them
to push backward To remedy the oc-
casion of this humping, as soon as |
have taught my steers to be handy, as it
is called, and to draw forward, l place
them on cart where the land is little
descending; in this situation they will
soon learn to back it. Then place
them on level land, and exercise them
there. Then | teach them to back
cart up land that is little rising, the
cart having no load in, as yet. When |
have taught them to stand up to the
tongue as they ought, and back an empty
cart, ] next put small load in the cart;
thus in a few days they can be taught to
back we'll

money, labor, and valuable time. A

COOKING FooD FOR SWINE. Samuel
II Clay, of Kentucky, has been expert
menting in feeding several lots of hogs,
changing them from raw to cooked, and
from ground to ungroond food, with the
following results:
One bushei of dry corn made 1--WE lbs
and ten ounces of live pork; one bushel
of boiled corn made fourteen pounds and
seven ounces of pork One bushel Of
ground corn, boiled, made, in one in.
stance, sixteen pounds and seven ounces,
and in another nearly eighteen pounds Of
pork. Estimating corn at 80 cents per
bushel, and pork at cents pound, we
have, as the result of one bushel dry
corn, 45 cents worth of pork; of one
bushel of boiled corn, 116 cents worth
Of pork; and of one bushel of ground
corn, boiled, 1876 cents worth of pork

FALL CRoP OF Strawberries. The
Paterson On. j. Guardian, says that
the markets Of that city are quite plen-
tifully supplied with strawberries, which
readily bring 6 and s cents per basket.
This is the second or fall crop, and the
borrics are remarkable for their sweet,
delicious superiority over the spring
crop.

Trim1ninr Grane Yinas.

During April we had many letters
asking, Is it too late now to trim grape
vinesY" We have written frequently on
this subject, and really fear firing the
patience of readers by repetition, and
simply answer the question briefly, de-
ferring a more elaborate article for the
November number. Grape vines should
never be trimmed in the spring. No
vember is the better time; at that date
they will not bleed, and by freeing the
vine from its useless portions, you pre-
vent the exhaustion of the roots by con-
slant evaporation from the branches, and
consequent ascent by capillary attraction
the wind blowing among the branches
also assists this action. Compare vine
trimmed November %, with one along
side of it trimmed in spring, of equa
size, and invariably the November trim
ming win give the best results.
Grape vines require phosphates ant
potash separately applied, week OIL
more apart, and rain between. Nc
better time than June, unless before
done. - Working Farmer.

TOMATOES IN New STYLE The
Harrisburg (Pa.) Union says: "As the
tomato season has now come, the follow
ing method of preparing them for the
table, we are assured by one who has
made the experiment is superior to any,
thing yet discovered for the preparation
Of that excellent vegetable Take good
ripe tomatoes, cut them in slices, and
sprinkle over them finely pulverizod
white sugar, then add claret wine sufli-
cient to cover them. Tomatoes are some
times prepared in this way with diluted
vinegar, but claret wine imparts to them
richer and more pleasant favor, more
nearly resembling the strawberry than
anything else"

Hen MANURE. The excretia of birds
Of all kinks is valuable as manure, and
if properly used, will, invariably pay for
the pains taking, Lime, ashes, or other
alkalis, should never be mixed with hen
manure; such treatment throws out the
ammonia and forms other compounds of
iessened value When dry muck, char
coal dust, woods-earth, or other cheap
divisor can be procured. compost hen
manure with it, and if wetted with diluted
sulphuric acid, so much the better; this
will fix the ammonia as a sulphate, which
is soluble, but not volatile, like the car

ford to sell his hen manure to morocco

ttess." Even the Washington Union n-never pro.
found reasoner, by the way-eatches up the cry
and alleges that tho case shows that the hard
ships attendant upon domestic slavery have been
greatly mi ep-escnt,d.by designing politicians and
their TOOLS" But how so? A poor girl taken
away lror the land Of her nativity to distant and
rude eetilement--from the companions Of her youth
to the society of perfect strangers-from kind and
gentle mistress doubtless, to de3titution and or.
phanage prefers to return TO her old home and Of.
foctions. The fact is natural but the inference;
how beautiful is slavery is not natural. man
might choose to eat obscene food rather than starve,
but his choice would not render the food either
highly nutrative or palatabe. Aud person may
prefer slavery at Chapel Hill to abandonment. in
Congo, without proving thereby that slavery ID
good. 1t only proves that, in the particular cir.
cumstances, of a particular case, slavery is pre-.
ferred 80 something worse. If the parents OF EN-
lily had lived, il she could have been assured the
advantages of society, if her freedom had BEEN
accompanied by tie ordinary conditions of free
dom, it does not appear that she would haye de.
sired to change her lot but the probability is that
she would have remained where she was, glad 10
have escaped life Of bondage, glad to have
achieved state in which her rights, her faculties
and her social ambitions would be respected.
But the attempt to press this case into the ser;
vice Of slavery shows to what straits the defenders
of that system are reduced. Thousands of slaves
every year quit their servude, enduring the great
est hardships. and hazzarding their live, to do so
and other thousands would eagerly follow their Ell,
ample if they could The most sedulous watch is
set by their masters, not merely to keep them from
running away, but to prevent them from Learning
even that it is possible to run away and yet, id
the face of this universal and constant testimony

the slaves themselves, every instance of volunta.

ACASE OF RETURNING TO SLAVERY.

The historian Priscus, who accompanied IN en-
bassy once sent by the Emperor of Cons;an.inople
to the Nuns Of Atila tells Of Greek whom he met
in the wild Danulian forests who had voluntarily
surrendered the charms of civilized life for what
he esteemed the greater charms OF barLarism. lie
not only valued the com panionship Of the ugly and
cruel OugherS-so ugly indeed that the Romans
compared them to the carved wooden images at.
tachcd to their bridges, and their own barbarc
neighbors, the Germans, supposed them to be the
offspring Of the witches and demons of the desert
but he argued at great length that erybody else
ought to prefer barbarsm. He dwet upon the
delights of the free nomadic lfe the simplicity and
whoesomeness of the diet, grasses and insects the
exemption from family cares the absence of the
tax gatherer, and of that "mud-honey" of corrup-
ton which tempted so many to their ruin in luxu-
rous cities and towns.
1t does not appear however, that any of the
Greek embassy were seduced by the persuasions
of the selfbanished philosopher, from the court Of
Theodosius to the court of Attla-from the sump.
tuous ndugences of Constantinople to the coarser
fare of the Hungarian woods. Neither, if they had
been, would the fact of their conversion have ar
gued much in favor of the superiority of a savage
or barbarous TO a civilized ite 1t would simply
have shown that their tastes were somewhat ec'
centric to say the least Of them Civilization
would have been still, even in those days, better
than barbarism, and the acts and enjoymeuts of a
polished and regulated society greatly to be pre-
ferred to the restless, turbulent and im bruied man
