10 the Ceieago Board Of Underwriters:
GENTLEMEN The undersigned, your commit
tee chosen to- witness and direct the test
trial OF the New Babcock Patent Fire Extin-
guisher," report The test OF tho Extinguisher
was severe. A pyramid of tar barrels with shay
ings saturated with coal oil, was permitted to
burn in a strong wind until the flames had
reached an intensity and volume apparently be-
yond the control of score of suon extinguishers.
In less than three minutes the pyramid stood q
charred mass and the fire completely extin-
guished, with only three-fourths Of the charge OF
one extinguisher.
Similar results followed the burning of pile
One noticeable fact your committee desire to
give prominence to was the difficulty experienced
in re kindling both the tar barrels and boxes.
This we deem an important and valuable feature
of the Extinguisher.
In view OF the foregoing facts and experiments
we heartily recommend the general introduction
of this simple and powerful machine into build
ings of every kind, believing its use will largely
diminish losses by hre, and thus prove great
public utility.
It is further the deliberate opinion OF your
committee that Its general use should be encOur.

Whipping Oxen.

IT is a cruel and generally useless act of
bsrbarism TO whip oxen; yet many farm
ers are in the habit Of continually keeping
the whip going when teaming their cattle.
Instead of inviting the animals to exertiOn
by proper words, the first intimation the
poor creatures have from their master
that he desires them to start, is cut of
the whip or prick from gosd. This ia
not only savage, but absolutely wicked,
and wholly unnecessary. Another prac.
tice often seen is that of pounding and
threshing the oxen because they don't
readily back load, when they have not
been learned to back an empty cart down
hill. have no doubt that the selling
value Of many yoke of oxen is depre-
ciated from $25 TO $75, by being abused
in this way. II animals are desired 10
work, they must first be learned to work,
and when they understand what is wanted
of them they viii oheerfully comply. But
there is better way to communicate
your desires thsn through the whip
Kindness and skillful management Is fsI
better. Remember that "a merciful mar

purpose any chance corner IN dilapidated

How to Saw Valuable Timber.

to avoid this, II is only necessary to saw

side, finishing In the middle Of the log
We will suppose, for example, that log
of tough timber is to be sawed into scant,
ling of u uniform size. Let the saving be
done by working from one side of the
log toward the other, and the end of the
scantling will. all be of the desired size,
while at the middle some Of them will
measure one inch broader than at the ends
After the log has been spotted, saw of a
slab from one side; then move the log
over and cut a similar slab from the oppo-
site side. Let calculations be made by
measuring before the second slab iR cut

ReJuvenatlng Old Horses.

If horse has been reduced by over
driving, hard treatment and stinted al
lowance of feed, 50 that he has become
poor, dispirited and hide bound, 1t will be
an easy task, in most instances, to restore
him TO a good condition by adopting q ju-
dicious course of feeding. In the first
place, provide q spacious box stall, in
(which he can turn around without doab-
ling his neck and body together, If he
can have the advantage of a yard during
the day, all the better. He may be re
quired 10 labor every day, if he be ham
died carefully Gentle driving and the
right kind OF feeding win be one OF the
best means employed to develop muscle
and put ON the flesh. Every day the horse
should have az least four quarts Of carrots
or turnips, or roots of some kind, in addi.
tion to three liberal teedings of cut-feed
and meal Meal composed Of one part
oats, one of rye or wheat, and a third part
of Indian corn, will make excellent feed
for such purpose A quart Of oil meal,
mingled with the grain, will be an I'M
provement in the feed, Compelling q
horse to eat too much straw with the meal
will be very detrimental, The better way
will be TO employ only q few quarts OF
cut.straw with the meal. Then, if the
stomach is not sufficiently distended, LEI
the animal have access TO few pounds ol
hay. Feed him only as much as he will
eat up clean in about one hour. H6grn
