boards, six inches wide and plump inch

Two in the mid He, so tha, both boards
should not butt at the same place, taking

ditch was cut the same ms for tile, with the
same slope rs is usual. Where the bot.
TON was soft, or quicksand, put down Il
board at the bottom for the drain to stand
on. Before filing | put in fine hcmlock
boughs or straw. You will readily see
that the earth will mold it together strong,
SO that with a slight mailing it is perfectly
safe from caving IL. This plan has an
swered all the purposes OF tile for ten
years, and bids lair 10 last for years to
come. In case of freezing it has not been
injured in the least. II hemlock boards
cannot be mad, onk, ash or basswool will
last well under ground for this purpose.
There is much OF this kind OF drain put
down in the north part OF Oneida county,
which shows that there is much conf
dence in the plan to save expense. Geo.

How TO CONQUER VIcroUs Cows AND
iioRsEs. We copy the following from the
tennessee Farmer -" care not how vic
ious or unmlnageahIe the horse or COW
may become. l can conquer them by the
application Of II strong rope or chain lust
back of the fore legs, and twisting in a
good lever unul they yield fully. Balky
horles may be conquered in this manner,
so ms TO need no whipping, and it is much
more humane than climbing them or cut
ting them up with toruring whips. And
n horse once conquered in this manner
will not return to his tricks with the same
driver as readily AS when overcome by
whipping or mailing. Cows may be
conquered in the same manner, and bro
ken OF the habit OF kicking very readily
one of my ncighbors had a very vicious
COW, last spring, which they had failed in
milking after the most determined efforts
20 succeed. happened TO hear the iacl
me day, and told them how to manage
Aer, when 10 no more trouble was eXpe
fenced, In the course OF the summer
'hcy have occasionally laid cham across
aer back when she had manifested any
intention OF returning TO old habits
LIeclual as is this manner of overcoming
wcous propensiles, it is more humane
nan any other in which force is used.
