How to Haul Long Timber.

A SMALL man or even boy with team
can handle long stick of timber, either
round or square, with comparative ease
if he understands how to load it, Let US
suppose, for example, that one has a guam
tity of round timber to haul from the for
est; perhaps some Of the sticks are fifty
feet in length. Take the hind wheels of
q strong wagon, fit a pole to the axle and
hounds for tongue, then sling the timber
beneath the aXletree, and lash the end of
the tongue to the timber. The timber
should be rolled upon skid a foot from
the ground, and the wheels should be Sc
cured to it a tritle back of the middle, so
that the forward end will be about one
hundred pounds heavier than the rear end
Then when the team is hitched by chain
to the fore-end, the stick will be kept
clear of the ground. The team can be
hitched to either end in case of necessitv
Timber is frequently slung beneath the
aXletree OF cart or a wagon, and the
rear end is allowed to drag on the ground.
By this means nearly half the load will
drag heavily, requiring double the
amount Of team to haul it. Several long
and heavy poles can be hung beneath an
aXletree, and transported with ease by
hltchlng the team to the end Compare
tlvily few persons in the rural districts
have ever heard of this convenient mode
OF handling long timber. They should
understand it, as it will often save an
immense amount of heavy drawing
When going down hill the weight of
the driver on the fore-end of the timber
will usually be sufficient to control the
rate of speed, except down steep grades.
When one employs oxen and cart sling
the long timber beneath the axletree,
lash the end of the tongue to the timber,
and hitch the oxen to either end of the
stick. A yoke of oxen could be able to
draw stick in this way with comparative
ease, which they would scarcely move b.
hitching one end beneath the axletree,
and allowing the teaml to draw by the
tongue OF the cart.-An1eraAsn Builder.

The Value of d Receipt.

TO SHOW that it is duty which man
owes to his family to take receipts for all
sums of money which he pays out, the
Milwaukee Wisconsin tells the following
story:
"A case recently came before the Judge
OF Probate in this city which was more
than usually interesting and important. A
certain gentleman, whose name we will
not mention, but who was known to many
of our readers, died about five wears ago.
He left a considerable though not extern
sive estate, which was not administered
until certain parties filed claims against it,
which would have expired by limitation
at the end of six years. The estate was
brought into court, and the claims were
taken up in regular order They were
quite numerous, and embraced a large
variety of interests, workingmen, trades
people and professional men The indi-
vldual amounts of the claims ranged from
SIS up to $4,000.
The $1,000 claim was filed by man
who asserted that he had been interested
IN certain real estate transactions with the
deceased; that a considerable amount of
money was made, but that he the claim
anti had not received his share. A num-
Der OF witnesses were sworn and a great
deal OF evidence was taken which went to
substantiate the validity of the claim
against the estate. 1t was generally known
that the gentlemen had been associated to-
gether in real estate speculations, and that
they had made money
The attorney for the heirs, after having
listened to all the evidence that was
brought to prove the claim, came forward
and produced a receipt, which, though
not for $50O0 was proved to be a receipt
IN full for the actual share ofthe claimant.
This was brief defense, but it was effec-
tive. OF the other claims we will make
90 mention, as they were smaller and less
important than the one detailed. Suffice
to say that of claims to the amount of
$1,000 which were put forward only S35
was allowed. The estate os the deceased
was found to be in excellent order; he had
receipts for all expenditures, and the
property was saved to the heirs"

humanity. The horse that is spoiled in
| temper or habits by vicious management
is deprecated in value. The COW that is
malueated becomes habitually vicious,
loses her milk product, and her keeping
results in loss instead of profit The
manning, or murder if we may so call it,
of either becomes a dead loss to the peck
et This is so whether injury results from
wilfulness or heedlessness in a moment of
passion, neglect, or inj udicious though
well meant treatment. But it must in
truth be said that these principles are far
less acted upon by farmers than in all rca-
son one would expect The actual loss to
farmers by culpable illtreatment of do
nestle animals in any of our States would
more than pay the farm taxes thereof;
while those resulting from ignorance and
carelessness would double the amount.
There can be no question concerning the
truth of these statements. For their verl-
tication let any thoughtful reader take a
careful survey of the condition of the
matter in his own neighborhood and town
ship. We are all roundly prating about
our unjust taxation caused by the dis
honesty of officials, the rings ana mono
poles, which in Heavens name we would
not paliate in the least, but while seek
inc to ston the waste at the bunghole, let
ms not FORGET the waste by the spiggots
that are under our own control. We enter
our earnest appeal for kindness and mercy
towards the brute creation that comes I'M
der the care of the husbandman, not. only
for mercy's and decency's sake, but for the
sake of economy and thrift. The busy
season for the teams Of the farm Is the
time for reflection and action in this mat
ter-Prairie Farmer.

Kindness is Economy.

WE trust that we may not speak in vain
when we appeal to the boys of the farm. to
the farmers themselves, and TO the "hired
men," to exercise the utmost care and
kindness in the treatment of domestic an
lmals. 1t is standing disgrace to hui
mainly that laws and associations for the
prevention Of cruelty to animals are at all
necessary in this country. To the credit
of the farmers, be it said, that among
them the cases Of malicious, fragrant cru.
city are far less numerous than among
those who have occasion to use and care
for the useful domestic animals in our cit
| IS and towns. On the farm, ownership
goes great ways in conducting to ra-
tlonal course toward the brute creation. In
the large cities, where so many horses and
mules are entrusted TO the hands of hired
drivers, half brutes naturally, and made
still more brutal by the use of liquor, it is
not matter of SO much wonder that vic.
lent abuse often occurs that renders neces-
sary the enforcement Of laws for protec-
ton, or that societies exist for this specific
purpose. But it is not with the latter that
the Prairie Farmer, very fortunately, has
to do. With this class reason is out of
the question. even at times Of personal in
terview; printed appeals are still more
useless. But On the farm, luckily, such is
not often the case.
With the farmer and his boys, at least,
the ill-treatment of stock, whether used for
work or otherwise, the matter becomes
one of dollars and cents as well as one of

will be obtained, which contains pretty
much everything in the steak, excepting
the fibrous tissue. Mix this red pulp
thoroughly with three times its bulk of
cold water, stirring until the pulp is COM
