When kept in good condition and fed
with somewhat stimulating food, such as
corn and oats, geese will commence to lay
very carly, and can be set to the work Of
incubation by the end Of February or early
in March To secure the eggs being fertile
there must be one gander TO every five or
six females. 1t is always well to give
them separate apartments from those where
fowls are kept, and water should always be
accessible. 1t is best not to disturb the
goose when sitting, as, although a steady
and constant sitter, she will leave her eggs
often enough to feed aud drink. To save
her from going aways too far, and so run
ming the risk Of the eggs getting chilled,
food and water should be placed near
enough to be readily accessible, and yet
not attract her attention to the feeder
When the eggs are Matched it is best to
confne the mother for some days in a coop
or pen, placed upon dry grass during the
day, allowing the goslings no access to wa
ter beyond what they need to drink-which
can be placed in a shallow pan-until they
are two weeks old, after which the mother
and young may have their liberty upon
clean grass. The goslings should get meal
mixed with water at first, and few leaves
Of early beets, turnips or cabbage cut fine
will be beneficial. When they get their
full liberty, they will live upon grass, but
if it is wanted to have them grow rapidly
and become plump and fat, they should get
meal mixed with buttermilk or skinned
milk once a day. When young, the Cos
lings are very subject to die of cramps
caused by getting wet and cold. Hence ii
is necessary to insure them clean and warm
nests at nights, and not allow them out il
the mornings till the dew is off nor should
they be allowed to remain out in cold, wei
spring storms. They should never be al
lowed about muddy barnyarns. A smal
grass paddock for exercise ground should
be set apart for them until they can b.
turned into the stubbles after harvest
when they will iatten rapidly. NJ, il

TUE SECRET or Coon BUTTER. - Many
have been the attempts to account for the
superior reputation of Philadelphia butter.
Perhaps the most popular notion was that
it was due to the prevalence in our pas
lures aud hay fields Of the " sweet vernal
grass" which often gives so peculiar fra.
GRANGE to meadow hay But it needed
very little reasoning to demolsh such a
theory as this. This grass is one of the
poorest for hay or pasture purposes, aud
scarcely exists, except on cold clay lands,
in partially shady places near groves or
low woods We owe much more of the
sweetness Of our butter to the abundance
Of springs and spring houses in our State
than to anything peculiar which grows in
our pastures. Mix has particular ATTN.
ity for any odors in the atmosl here, and
water has some hence whatever impuri,
ties may get into the atmosphere Of the
spring house are drawn out by running
water, and the very best security is provided
against their being absorbed by the cream

Keeping Butter for a Long Period.


Some time since we gave an Illustration
Of a new method Of packing butter to keep
for a long periods. 1t is the invention OF
Charles II. White, Of Whites station,
Michigan, and consists in putting the but
Ter IN sack fitted to peculiar shaped tub
and so arranged that when the packing is
completed aud the tab turned SO as to rest
on the large end, the butter will drop down
an each or SO, leayiuga clear space between
the tub and butter. Strong brine is now
porod through a hole in the small end Of
the tub, 20 h.i this completely. The brine
floats the butter and wholly surrounds it,
excluding the air The oridec is then
closed up and the butter set away in q cool
place. The invention seems to US to have
very great merit. aud we determined to test
10 practically. Mr. White, therefore, ip
september last furnished US a tub Of but
ter, which arrived during very bot weather,
which we consider favorable of thorough
test, especially as it had stood in the ex-
press ciiice a couple Of days, exposed to
the sun before we were notified Of its ar
rival. The tub was then taken and set
aside in the cellar, where it remained until
July 18Th, 1872, when it was opened, but
We found the butter sound and apparently
in as good order as when first packed-ten
months and half previous.

ihe yoke. First, the yoke should be, for
cattle or 8 years old, 6 OF 8 inches wide
on the top Of the neck, and about ) inches
rounding; the bows should be wide enough
to just come inside Of the ox's shoulder
bone when the OK CARRIES his fore.lcg for
ward, and wide enough at top, so that when
the OK holds back going down hill those
lunches behind his cars will pass through
and allow the yoke to come against their
horns, or back Of their heads this is one
great reason why some oxen will not hold
back going down bill, the bow is so mar
row IL brings up against the punches be-
hind their ears, and causes them to run,
getting the name Of being poor oxen to
hold back on bill aud this is the way
great many splendid steers are spoiled, just
by not knowing what they want 10 work
10. A good plan is to have quilers or
brecchings when oxen are used on very
billy farms.
Many young and inexperienced tcamstcrs
are frequently surprised y the statement
Of some aged father, wh5 has been accus-
toned to manage oxen fIon his boyhood,
ihat an iron weight Of dliy or one hundred
pounds attached to the ox-yoke will enable
yoke of oxen under certain circumstances,
to apply their strength with far greater
efficiency than with only the weight Of a
light yoke on their nccks. When the yoke
and bows it the uecks Of the oxen, as they
always should, aud the dran-chsiu os 10
leaves the yoke, falls below a horizontal
line, a weight cannot be attached TO the
yoke with any advantage But when the
shaiu from a iUo yoke Of oxen on the lead,
IS hitched TO q yoke Of taller oxen behind
them, weight Of fifty pounds hung be-
meath the yoke Of the leader will often ona.
BILE them to draw with greater efficiency
than without the weight. When oxen are
attached TO a loaded cart, good tcamsiers
understand the importance Of adjusting The
load in such manner that il viii press the
yoke down on the necks Of the animals,
about equal TO a fifty or one hundred pound
weight, when attached to the yoke. Much
good judgment is required however, to
understand when the oxen are required to
sustain too much or no, enough. The
greater he inclination of the draft-chaiu,
as it leaves the team, the greater will be
the effective force of the team. Ga the
contrary. if the dralt-chain rises abore a
horizontal line as it leaves the team, the
effective force Of the team will be diminish
cd just in proportion Of the inclination Of
the chain above a horizontal line.

The secret Of a WIFE, Power.

Nothing rs more beautiful than the belief
OF the faithful wife that her husband has
all the talents, aud could it he would, be
distinguished in any walk in lile and
nothing will be more boautilul-uness this
is very dry time for signs-than the
husbands belief that his wife is capable Of
taking charge Of any Of the affairs Of this
confused planet There is no woman but
thinks her husband, the ereen-grocer, could
write poetry if he had given bis mind to
It, or else she thinks small beer Of poetry
in comparison with an occupation of ac-
complishment purely vegetable. IL is
touching to see the look Of pride with
which the wife turns to her husband from
any more brilliant personal presence or dis
dcuco that If the world knew what she
knows there would be one more popular
idol. How she magniGes his small wit, and
dotes upon the sef.satisded look in bis face
as if IL were q sign of wisdom. What
councillor that man would make! What .
warrior be would be There are a great
many corporals in their retired homes who
did more for the safety aud success Of our
armies in critical moments In the late war,
than any Of the high-cock-a.lorum com.
manders. Mrs Corporal does not envy the
reputation Of General Sheridan She knows
very well who really won Five Forks, for
she has heard the story a hundred times
and viii hear it hundred times more with
apparently undated interest What a
general her husband would have made ;
aud how his talking talent could shine in
Congress
Herbert-Nousense. There isn't a wife
in the world who has not taken the exact
measure Of her husband, weighed him and
settled him in her own mind, and knows
him as well as if she had ordered him after
designs and specifications of her own. That
knowledge, however, she ordinarily keeps
to herself, and she enters into a league with
her husband, which he was never admitted
to the secret OF, to impose upon the world.
In nine out of ten cases he more than half
believes that he is what his wife tells him
he is At any rate she manages him as
easily as the keeper does the elephant, with
only bamboo wand aud sharp spike in
the end Usually she datters him, but
she has the means of pricking clear through
his hide on occasion 1t is the great Sc
cret Of her power to have him think that
she thoroughly believes in bim.--Backlog

Oliver Wendell Holmes has recorded the
following as his opinion Of women -" a
woman, Notwithstanding she is the best Of
listeners, knows her business and it is
woman's business to please. | don't say
that it is not her business to vote, but | do
say that the woman who does not please is
a false note in the harmonies of nature
She may not have youth or beauty, or even
manner, but she must have something in
her voice or expression, or both, which it
makes you feel better disposed toward your
race to look at or listen to. She knows
that as well as We do and her first qucs-
tion after you have been talking your soul
into her consciousness is, Did pleaser
A woman never forgets her sex. She
would rather talk with a man than an angel
any day. Womanly women are very
kindly critics, except to themselves, aud
new and then to their own sex. The less
there is is Of sex about woman, the more
she is to be dreaded. But take a real wo-
man at her best moment-wel dressed
enough to be pleased with herself, not so
resplendent as to be show aud sensa-
ton, with the varied outside influences that
set vibrating the harmonic notes Of her ma
ture stirring in the air about her-and
what has social life to compare with one
OF those vital interchanges of thought aud
feeling with her that make an hour men,

Marriage.

Leigh Hunt concludes an essay on mar-
riage as follows -" There is no one thing
more lovely in this life, more full of the
divine courage, than when young maiden,
from her past life, from her happy child
hood, when she rambed over every field
aud moor around her home when mother
anticipated her wants and soothed her little
cares, when her brothers and sisters grew
from merry playmates to loving, trustiul
friends from Christmas gatherings and
romps, the summer festivals in bower or
garden; from the rooms sanciifel by the
death of relatives from the secure back g.
grounds of her childhood, and girlhood,
and maidenhood, looks into the dark and
unilluminated future away from all that,
and yet unterri6ed, undaunted, leans her
fair cheek upon her lovers breast and
whispers; Dear heart cannot see,
but | believe. The past was beautiful, but
the future | can trust-with thee !"
