A Rarey among Horned Cattle.

\ correspondent of the New York TI-i-
bunc. writing from the State Fair Grounds
speaks of Il performance with steers as
follows:
Every year | have been able TO learn
something new-somethin@ beneficial to
me as a farmer or something that could
communicate to others to their advantage
| shall try To profit equally by what | see
here have seen one thing to-day which
| wish every farmer, and every man who
ever drives oxen or handles cattle in any
way, could see as have seen. 1t would
teach him the benefits of the law of kind
ness. We have all heard of Rarcy among
horses; and have almost loved the man in
our admiration of his process of training
| have just seen a Rarey among horned
cattle Here is a boy, perhaps ten years
old training and handling six steers, with
all the ease that an experienced Yankee
OK driver handles single pair while in
the yoke; and he has no yoke, nor rope,
nor does he speak a word scarcely above
q whisper and only occasionally strikes
blow that would not raise a blister on the
skin of child All his actions are based
upon the laws of kindness with "A firm de-
termination that all his orders must be
obeyed. Now he brings up single pair
as though yokcd together, then two yoke;
then three then he mls-matches all of
them as though about TO yoke the off OK
on the near side Then he changes pla-
ces and puts odd ones together; then he
unyOkes, if | may use the term when he
does not use yoke, all Of Il en- and
brings them up in line like a platoon of
soldiers, and with greater precision than
any awkward squad Then he trains
them around by t;"os and threes, or drops
out II single one and orders him to d rev
place by motion of his small whip, or
as it seemed to me, often by mere effort
OF his Will. that he desires a change Of
position. For an hour that | stood watch
ing there was pair of older steers stand
ing Just outside of the circle of his opera
tions, patiently waiting their turn, until
some one asked "can YOU handle eight as
well as six p Il could" he modestlv re
piled, " if my whip was little longer;
can reach the outside one, when in line,
with this short whip, but will try -
And he did so; and notwithstanding the
short whip, all were managed with the
utmost care, and all who saw were taught
lesson which none seemed to tire of
| learning. 1 hope they Will profit by it
viii those who read also pursue the same
course in trainin. all domestic animals
Teach your boys, toe, to yoke up the young
steers, to use them kindly with patient
perseverance,, to make them rs hidable as
this boy has these on exhibition. and then
they will make good and valuable oxen.

There they rest.

Slipping nectar from the clover.
And the roses bending over.

And the fresh winds f. IN the mountain

Now the little q Pleasant VALLEY
In pure ~hite robe Is dressed
Ard the winds in solemn measures
Chant their dirge, and soncrous treasures,
Ermine robes and gems in Keeping
Winter Casts above the slee ping,
Still they rest.
These are but the caskets folded
in the valley shelteriuy breast,

or the crowns Of peace en- tw lining
Spirit brows all white and prarly,
