The ridiculously loud tone Of voice in
which orders are generally given 20 horses
when the driver desires them to start or
stop, has often been a subject OF surprise
To me- If horses were next thing to
deaf, there would be an excuse for the
shoutings and ceilings 50 generally in
dulged, but they are not, and therefore
need not be spoken to so loudly and
harshIv. The ear Of horse is very sen
sitive, and save in exceptionable cases 1t
Is possible 10 control his motions by a
command. given in a moderate tone OF
voice, Just as readily, and indeed, l
think, more readily, than where this
rough, rude manner is used.
A horse is a teachable animal, and is
always affected by kind treatment. The
fact Of the matter is, that if kind words
and gentle treatment throughout were
given these noble animals, instead Of
0aths, curses and blows, we should find
their docility greatly increased. just

resort 10 more rational, and certainly
more pleasing means? Why not speak

hear it, and viii as readily obey as if
given in a laundering tone.
One Of the best managed teams have
ever seen was controlled by the driver
without the indulgence Of any of this IN
musical yelling. The driver rarely ever
spoke above his ordinary tone Of voice,
and vet his horses laid into their work
with as much willingness, and apparent
~ greater earnestness than if they had
been driven to it by fearful shouting and
blows. Let me appeal to the common
sense Of your readers in this particular
direction The horse is AN intelligent

The beneficial influence of a weak al

is of long-standing acknowledgment Its
action is in expansion of the pores, while
at the same time it is destructive of all
insects life, sporadic or otherwise
Writers or theorists differ as to the best
time to apply it; but we have always
found that if good common sense be used
in preparing it, the time Of application
is always good. And, now for the pre-
paration. If you use potash, reduce it
so that you can bear your finger in it
half minute or more without a tingling
or sore sensation. If you can obtain
good soft-soap from the refuse grease
and I've of ashes saved up dry, then take
and reduce it (the soap)down, not to a
suds, but so that it will not be ropy when
used by a soft whitewash- brush. Use it
freely, and it matters not materially just
when, but say now, and any time most
convenient until LIST July ; but after that
time it is, perhaps, better to wait till the
next year.-American Farm journal.

With health and strength, labor is a
blessing. BY special decree the God
of the universe made labor a happy con
ditiou Of mans existence here, and a
cheerful conformity to this condition is
hi- first duty None but the INDECENT
look upon labor as curse During the
season Of haying and harvest the labor Of
the household is nearly doubled, com
pared with other portions Of the year
There is early work and late work there
are drinks and lunches to be prepared
aside from the usual meals, and all the
routine of sewing, washing, butter max
ing, and IN many cases cheese-making
If there Is a busy place in the world it is
the farmhouse in America during June
and July. There are thousands of eases
where one woman does all the labor of
the house, besides having the care Of one
or two children, during this hot, busy sea-
son and we blush to add that i'm many
instances the men are too needless to
render her such assistance as they could
easily perform in the mornings, moons,
and evenings.
1t would tighten her toll and lessen
her steps if the fruit and vegetables were
brought IN from the garden III the morn
ing; if the water was drawn from the well
for cooking purposes; if the reservoir on
the stove was filled if the wood was
brought close to the stove if the slops
were regularly taken to the compost heap ;
the skinned milk brought from the milk
room. These chores might all be done
by the men and boys during the leisure
moments before meals and at the % noon
ings.
When n woman is obliged to g tramp,
tramp, all the day through, and per-
haps nurse Il babe besides, there is some
thing wrong 1t is too much for her to
do; it inhicts serious ills upon her off
spring, and eventually will result in sick
ness or infrmity and loss. Our women
on the farm are an overworked class.
They spend too much time and strength
in hot rooms and over stoves, and too
little in the open air. Between cooking
and washing and ironing, and scrubbing,
sweeping, busting, care of plants, etc. j,
where is time for any mental exercise or
for gaining any information of current
events? We want to see farmers wives
have as much relaxation from toll as farm
ers themselves.

The Virginia papers report that dur

where there was at the time some re-

members were present, by delivering the
following homily:

The sensation following a speech like
this, in such a place, from such a speak

BY MRS. PAULINE SWAIN.
The idea of the order of the g Patrons
of Husbandry was originally borrowed
from an association which for many years
had maintained feble existence in a
community Of Scotch farmers in North
Carolina The objects Of this Scotch So
ciety, so far rs can be ascertained, APP
pear to have been the purchase of all
needed supplies from first hands and at
wholesale rates, and the cultivation of
more intimate social relations among lis
members-th Is. it was n secret co
operative, industrial association among
those already allied by mutual work, and
interest, and sympathy. Ii was meagre
n number and narrow in influence to a
degree that the fact of It's existence was
unknown beyond the limits of the little
community affected by It's institutions.
Nor was it until the spring of 1868 that
the idea of these Scotch farmers first began
10 be mooted abroad, and become known
to the people of the West During the
previous winter Mr. .. A. Kelley. of
ltaSca, Mimi, aud dozen other leading
agTiculturalists of the West, happened
together in Washington, held frequent
interviews in relation to the interest of
farming population of the Great West
Ii was ut this time and place that the
farmers movement first suggested itself
10 their minds upon learning of the char
acter and operation of the little Scotch
society In North Carolina, whence sprung
the agricultural revolution In IFS present
shape. At once the idea was seized upon,
and adapted to meet the purposes of n
national organization. Early in the
year 1868 a grange was organized at
ltasca, Mimi, under the supervision of
Mr.. Kelley. This was the first grange
organization in the United States, EXCEPT
the organic germ in North Carolina.
Another grange was speedily organized
ut Newton, Jasper county, Iowa; and in
a short time third entered upon a feeble
existence at Waukon, Allamakee county,
Iowa Here and there in various parts
of the West and Northwest, other gran
ges were organized from time to time;
but the movement had not yet taken
firm root, and its existence was still pre-
carIous. AT the end of 1871, the order
had been introduced into Iowa, Minneso-
til, Wisconsin, and Illinois but, up to
the close of the year 1871, its entire
number in the four States named is esti-
mated at not over seventy-fve thousand.
Quickend by a new impulse, and
strengthened by powerful vitality, its
progress within the past twelve months,
beginning with 1872, has been not less
than wonderful. From its weak army
of seventy-fve thousand, it is claimed
that in the same four States its member
ship has swelled to the more formidable
number Of four hundred and fifty thou

The HenIthfuIIness ofLemons.

When people feel the need of an acid
if they would let vinegar alone, and use
lemons or apples, they would feel just
as well satisfied and receive no injury.
A suggestion may not come amiss as to a
good plan when lemons are cheap in the
market. A person should then purchase
several dozen at once, and prepare them
for use in the warm, weak days of the
Spring and Summer when acids, especi-
ally eitrie and malic, or the acid of lem
ons, are so grateful and useful Press
your hand on the lemon and roll it back
and forth briskly on the table to make it
squeeze more easily; then press the Juice
into a bowl or tumbler-never into a tin !;
strain out all the seeds, as they give bad
taste. Remove all the pulp from pees,
and boil i'll water-a pint for a dozen
pulps-to extract the acid. A few min
utes' boiling is enough; then strain the
water with the juice of the lemons; put a
pound of white sugar to a pint of the
juice boil ten minutes, bottle it. and
your lemondade is ready. Put table
spoonful or two of this lemon syrup in a
glass of water, and have a cooling, health
full drink
