Length of Whiille-Trees.

A HORSE cannot draw as well with
whifile-tree twelve feet long as with one
two feet six inches in length, because the
line of draught is not III the proper direc-
ton to be most effective. Nor can two
horses, harnessed abreast, draw well with
whitfle-trees ten feet long, while their
heads are coupled close together, because
they must travel sidewise, more or less, in
which position 10 animal can exert all his
strength to the best advantage in hauling
a load
Horses draw best with double whiffle-
tree Just long enough to allow them to
stand close to each other, having single
whiffle-trees attached directly behind
them, and just long enough to meet in the
middle When the dOuble-tree is very
long, each horse must draw more or less
sidewise, if the coupling lines and the
neckyOke are not made long enough TO
allow them to move directly forward
without having their heads turned toward
each other. In order to determine the
correct length of whifflc-trees, let two
horses stand side by side, with their sides
three inches apart then measure from
the centre of one, horse to the other on
their backs This will give the length
for a neckyoke, and the correct length
for the double whlilie-tree, between the
joints where the single-trees are to
be attached. When neckyoke Is
only eighteen inches long, and
the doubie-tree of the proper length
horses will be required to move more OF
! less sidewise. For the same reason, oxen
often get in the habit of hauling sidewise
because the yoke is too short. Neither
oxen or horses can travel easily and freely
when their heads are turned toward, anC
their butts from, each other.

Management Of Cows.

HUGH I. BROOKS discourses as follows
upon this subject in the Western Stock
Journal:
Butter, cheese, milk, and meat form a
very large space in the most important
department of sublunary affairs, and their
full and cheap supply depends essentially
on the proper management of cows.
TO begin at the beginning, every house
holder should feel an irrepressible interest
in the propagation and perpetuation of
good milking animals. No person has
moral right to own or possess good COW
except " for the purposes therein set
FORTH" viz: the largest supply of good
milk, and the increase of her Species
these legitimate ends we are bound to
seek
First, by breeding from milking families
-scrupulously rejecting all males and
females not descended from good milking
stock.
Second, by providing young animals
with a sufficiency of the right kind of
nutriment. The milk vessels are deyeloped
by nutritious and succulent food. which
should be literally supplied from the very
start.
A calf that maintains precar;ous exist
ence on poor hay and straw, and grows
up without care or carrots, can scarcely
make a good cow, even if it has good an
cestors, and is well treated in after life.
There is no place for neglect in the milk
business. All things require to be trained
and developed for their proper sphere.
Third, docility and good behavior are
essential characteristics of a good cow
they are secured by kindness and famil-
iarity. Farmers should never neglect
their calves, as they do their own families,
unless they are willing to have them
grow up wild and ungovernable. Guilt
vate in all these cases constant and kindly
relations from the very beginning.
Fourth, guard against drouth in sum
mer, and short supplies in Winter, by Sc
curing early good quantity of bran or
shorts. These, as well as roots, pumpkins,
apples, and well preserved corn fodder,
are peculiarly adapted to the production
of milk.
Fifth, cut your hay earlyl Woody fiber
is good thing in its place, or it never
would have been sent, but no orthodox
man has any right to believe that it is
much adapted to dairy purposes. Cut
your hay just as The blossoms fall Keep
1t snug every night-no rains and no dew
upon I. BE sure and dry it enough so
that il will keep perfectly sweet, without
must, and be sure and not dry it any
more than is necessary.
Sixth unless n COW is remarkably
good breeder let her go iarrow, feed her
high, and milk her through the winter,
and sell her to the butcher; do this rs
soon as she begins TO fail, and while she
is profitable to feed for beef.
Seventh, consider good supply of good
milk as a necessary OF life, and never he
without it. Milk can De secured by bav.

Suggestions on Grating.

CONSIDERABLE observation and expert
ence convince NE that the old plan OF
cleft grating is not the true or best way.
| have for several years grated more or
less for myself and neighbOrs, and the
satisfaction which my plan has given has
led me to think that it may benefit 9th
ers l shall not attempt to say one half
that might be said on the important sub
jeCt, but will try and get at the main iacts
as direct as possible.
In the old plan the limbs selected are
from one to three inches in diameter, cut
square off and split through the center, and
a cion being set on each side, leaving an
opening between quite as wide as the ciOn
is thick. The limbs are generally cut be
low all the small twigs or leaf branches,
forcing all the sap into the ci0n, which
grows rapidly the first year, loosening the
wax on the limb, leaving the split open
for the water to run in every time it rains.
The growth of the ciOn ultimately heals
up the split on both Sides so that it holds
the water until it dries out this kills
more or less of the wood in the heart of
the limb by the time it heals over, often
taking four or five years. Then what
dead wood there is, as soon as 1t is eX-
Guided from the drying effects of the air,
absOrbS the sap Of the limb and at once
begins to decay, often killing the tree be-
fore it has borne fruit enough to half pay
for grating.
will now give my plan and mention
some of the advantages over the old plan.
cut the limb slantin9 so that the angle
shall be about two-thirds as long as the
limb is thick, being careful to have the
slant On the under side of the limb. Then
split the limb up and down through the
center, never setting but one cion in a
limb, and seldom cutting limb over an
inch through, being governed by the
shape wish to give the top. generally
put all the cions into top the first year.
This can be done where the limbs are cut
above the small twigs, or leaf branch,
which will take part Of the sap the first
year; then cut them off as soon as the
growth of the cion shall require it.
l think it will be readily seen that
by cutting the limb slanting and setting
the ciOn on the upper side, there is
no chance for the water to remain
long enough to Kill the wood. 1t will
be seen, also, that by cutting the limb
where it is small that it will sooner grow
over, and the cion will sooner grow to the
size of the limb cut off. Every one who
has had much experience in grating
knows very well that it requires good
deal of judgment and skill to form good
healthy fruit bearing top, and none but
those who understand the business should
be allowed to cut limb from tree, either
to trim or graft it.-C0r. Boston Quit 0dt0r

Eighth, deformlty and butter are not
inseparable companions. You may have
a good looking cow that will fill your pail
quite as well as the historical " brindle
COW with crumple horn," crooked leg,

You may breed quite successfully for
beef purposes, while you secure good

Ninth, let everything be done decently,

BAD WATER IN CIsTERNs.-A CORES
pendent of the QueeaSLGnder. published in
Brisbone, Australia, gives the following
advice on how to let rain water into els
tern: "The reason why so many peo-
pie complain of bad water in their tanks
and cisterns is plain enough, and can be
easily remedied. As rule the water runs
in on the surface, and thus the older wa
ter is kept under by reason of its weight.
/ had tank we never could use, although
the water was run from an iron roof. To
cure the tank the pipe was let down to
within a foot of the bottom, so that all
the water that went in did so under the
old water, which was thus kept sweet or
run off from the waste-pipe when the
tank was full. Since then We have had

MARGARET DEBAUGu, of Harrisburgh,

MARGARET DEBAUGU, of Harrisburgh,
Pa, aged Is, was bitten by small dog on
one of her fingers, several weeks ago. No
inconvenience was felt from the wound
after it healed until the 9th ult., when
she felt pinching sensation in the arm,
extending from the finger-tip to the
shoulder. On the Goth, she became fear
fully afflicted. She foamed much at the
mouth, exhibited great nervous lrritability,
breathed with much difficulty, and APP
pealed piteously to those about her to
keep at distance, as if fearful that she
might do them personal injury. During
one of her spasms a dog entered the
room in which she was lying. AS soon
as her eyes fell on the animal she became
perfectly furious, and not until it was re-
moved did her agitated feelings undergo
subsistence. The sight of water also in
creased the violence of her commissions.
From the time she got the first severe
spasms until drugs were administered she
was tied to a rocking chair. Occasionally
she would spring up violently, carrying
the chair with her, although held by a
gentleman. When her agitated feelings
were subducd, she was laid on sofa, TO
which she was secured until she died.

BEAUTIFUL WOMEN,

AL women know that it is beauty rather than
genius, which all generations of men have wor-
shipped in the sex. Can II be wondered at, then,
that SO much of woman's time and attention
should be devoted to the means of developing
and preserving that beautyf Women know. too,
that when men speak of he intellect of women,
they speak critically, tamely, coolly; but when
they come 10 speak of the charms of beautiful
with an enthusiasm which elbows them to be pro-
foundly. if not indeed. ridiculously in earnest
II is part of the natural sagacity of women to
perceive all this, and therefore employ every al
lowable art to become the goddess of that adOra-
ton. Preach to the contrary, as we may. against
the arts employed by women for enhancing their
beauty. there still stands the eternal fact, that
the world does not prefer the society of an ugly
woman of genius to that of beauty OF lees in
| tellectual requirements. The world has yet al
lowed no higher mission to woman than IN I've
beautiful. and it would seem that the ladies of the
present 9ge carrying this idea of the word IN
greater extremes than ever. for all women to
whom nature has denied the talismanlc power Of
