Oiling Harness.

Harness should be washed and oiled once in
six months after it is commenced being used. II
it is neglected for years, and becomes hard, it is
next to impossible to make it soft and pliable as
harness shOuld be to wear well and be easy
for the horse. Harness leather is tanned from
both. Oak makes the softest leather, and is more
durable and agreeable for harness work, it being
from one to four pounds lighter in a harness of
the same appearance, To oil harness properly
take every strap apart, as far as practicable, and
put in tub of warm soap suts (if il s0aks
through all the better), thoroughly wash, and
with a stiff brush, or otherwise remove all gum
and dirt. If any repairing is needed, now is the
time to do it. The best oil to use is neatsfoot if
this cannot be obtained, liver, or tanners oil, as
it is sometimes called may be used. 1 am aware
that oils or greases are used but do not believe
in their efficacy; at least never knew a tanner
to other than the oils named, and used to he
cOnversant with their modes of manufacturing
leather.
Upon bench or board placed i'm a handy posi-
tiOD, lay out the strap to be oiled straight, and
with a common paint brush apply the oil to the
entire surface and edges of the strap The ap-
pearance of the harness will be benefited by the
addition of little lampblack, and the Oiling
should be commenced as soon as the water has
dried from the outside of the leather at least the
leather should not be more than half dry when
the oil its applied. Now a good freeze of your
wet or partially wet leather will greatly tend to
soften your Oftimes neglected and stifiened leat-
er, and add greatly to its value. The principles
are. freezing wet leather softens it, antfllat the
oil goes in rs the water goes ont, just what the
currier aims to do in the manufacture of the
leather. When the harness is sufficiently dry
wipe it off well with cloth, to remove the ex-
cess of lampblack, buckle up, and the job done
for six months-COresponden Of Prairie Farmer.

How - Catch Rars.

One of the pests of the farmer is rats. To keep
them within endurabe bounds is somewhat a
difficult matter, for rat is cunning as n fox,
and as hard to catch; but there is such thing as
working strategy on it. rat never digs hole
unless it has some projection to begin with, say
stone, stick of wood, or anything else that
makes an angle with the ground; cellar wall it
likes the best. If rat is chased in a cellar or
other room, it will run round by the wall, and is
decidedly averse to leaving it. From this habit
we have hint how to outgeneral it. The COM
mon steel trap is the best for the purpose Stand
box or barrel, or other article, within four in
ches of the wall, and in that open space set the
trap without anything to hide it. The rat in fol-
lowing the wall will go into the trap rather than
90 round the barrel When it is caught, smoke
the trap with piece Of burning paper, shifts
your barrel to another place, and set the trap as
before.
1t is said that if a man hides where crows fire.
qnent and they see him go there, they will stay
away till they see him leave. If two men hide
and one leaves, the crows will come back to the
man that is left; and this because crow cannot
count. Thus with the rat, there is something in
the combination of the wall the trap and the bar
rel, that it does not seem to understand.-Cor

NEW Use FOR FRESH EGGs.-The Maine Far
mer says: Mr.. John Murphy, of this city-a
gentleman of intelligent and close observation
recently made to us some interesting statements
IN regard to the value of fresh eggs in afortiing
nourishment to weak animals, that are worth re.
membering by all farmers. He remarked that he
had known Young colt which to all appearance
was nearly dead, the breath of life being barely
perceptible. to be quite instantly revived by Civ
ing it one or two fresh eggs. The same results,
in several cases to which be was knowing, have
followed the administering of eggs to weak calves
simple. easy at hand, and so effectual in the
cases mentioned-which often occur with calves
and lambs-should be remembered by all our

THE Bowling Green PdHtagrdph tells this some,
what eauivocal story: distinguished medical
friend, years ago, practising away down in Gas
per, was called ON to examine the chest of young
male consumptive. One of our independent old
Warren County ladies eyed the scientifict proceed
ings from the chimney corner with marked inter
est as she pulled her pipe and cut her eye at the
doctor in her peculiar and personal way. Said
the learned physician, with side glance at the
old lady, he tapped his hand over the breast OF
the patient, "As you are a young gentleman l
shall not be careful where touch yOn. Were You
a delicate lady, it would be extremely different.
"YOu're liar!n came in sharp tones from the cor
ner, "if it was one of good-looking girls here,
you'd have had yonr hand all over her chest, as
YOU call it, in less than fifteen seconds"

was called upon the next day by his adorable, to
whom he had been paying his attentions for the
last two years. and asked him if he really said
that.
"Certanly, did, my dear"
"Well, Billy" said she, "why don't you make
arrangements for one!'
Our friend says it was the first time he ever
cornered. He was SO mortified that he went right
away to the parson.

Forming TERRACEs-In the formation of ter
races in ground liable to slip, we recommend
strongly, from a long practical experience, the
use Of fascines or brushwood, to be put on in al
ternate layers with earth; by crossing and lap
ping the end Of the bush, this network may be
extended indefinitely. The enormous strength
Of wood, pnlled in the direction of its FIBRE is not
thoroughly understood. Practical experiments
show it to be oue-fifth the strength of
wrought iron; those who have endeavored to
pull up strong roots have some idea of it-E G.

Bee Nsse. fer February.

Hives that are outdoors should be raised when
a warm day loosens them from the bottom, to see
if the mice nibbling the comb destroying the
bees, and all droppings swept off. Mice, if busy,
should be trapped. Let such hives are to have
their location changed, be moved now, before the
bees file ont. Give plenty of room between the
hives-ten feet if convenient, is none too much.
Have separate stand and roof for each hive.
Bees arem0ved in sleigh better than in any other
way. Wagons with elliptic springs are next best
If bees arc to be confined to the hive more than
twenty -four hours, put wire-cloth, instead of
muslin. Shade the hives in bright sunny days
when there is a light snow on the ground. When
it has thawed sufficiently to bear the weight of
bee, let them fly.
Bees that are housed should not be confined to
the hives and removed to a distance without first
being set out on a warm day and allowed to fly.
Those outdoors can be moved at any time. In
purchasing bees, look ont for foul brood, and be
careful not to bring it into a neighboroOd that is
exempt from the disease. 1t is contagious and
spreads rapidly.
