Duty from Different Stand
points.
By MRS. NJ. z. sASGsTER.

= It is not, l say it boldly, every
body's duty to become a Sunday
school teacher. II, for example,
!, school is opened at nine, and you
cannot get there till quarter Of
ten, it is your duty to stay away.
/ know a bright eyed, merry class
of boys, who invariably wait just
that length of time for their
teacher, who { comes leisarely
along, forty five minutes too late,
swings himself into a seat, and
says, sGood morning, boys, with
the most nonchalant air in the
world. If you are too lazy, or
too delicate, or too, much occu-
pied, or too anything, to be in
time, don't have any scruples
about giving yonr class up alto
gether.

Whlmetrees.

A HORSE cannot draw as well with a
whitfletree twelve feet long as with one
two feet six inches in length, because the
line of draught is not in the proper
direction To- be most effective. Nor can
two horses harnessed abreast draw well
with whifiletrees ten feet long while their
heads are coupled close together, because
they must travel sidewise more or less, in
which position no animal can exert all
his strength TO the best advantage in
hauling load.
Horses draw best with the double
whiftietree just long enough to allow
them to stand close to each other, having
the single whiffletrees 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 neck-yo are not made long enough
to allow them TO move directly forward
without having their heads turned to-
ward each other In order to determine
the correct length of whiffletrees, let two
horses stand side by side with their sides
three inches apart; then measure from
the center of one horse to the other on
their backs. This will give the length
for a eck-yOke and the correct length
for the double whiffietree between the
joints where the single. trees are to be at
tached. When a neck.yoke is only elght-
cen inches iong and the double tree of
the proper length horses will be required
TO move more or less sidewise. For the
same reason oxen often get in the habit
of hauling sidewise, because the yoke is
too short. Neither oxen nor horses can
travel easily and freely when their heads
are turned toward and their buttocks
from each other.
Whihietrees for blowing should always
be as short as they can be made without
bringing the traces against the legs of
the team. A very long double whiffie
tree tends to make pillow take too wide
a furrow slice. If the clevis be adjusted
to take narrow furrow slice when the
double tree is too long the plow will not
run at all satisfactory. The horse in the
furrow will not be able to walk squarely
in his place, because the line of draught
is such as to keep crowding his hind feet
out of the furrow on the plowed ground.
The length of the double whiffletree and
the neck-yoke Tor a sleigh should be just
as long as the sleigh is wide from the
center Of one runner to the Other.-Nd1s-
Ufdcturer and Builder.

II, 30 that the heat Of the FIRE will prevent
approach. It is not wonderful then that
fire once started increases till the build
ing and Its contents are consumed. An
other unfavorable circumstance Ia, that
during large portion of the year the
"men folks" are liable TO be away from
the house at work in the field, and no one
at home but women and children.
Now that the carrying Of watches has
become general among farmers the conch
shell and tin horn are scarcely ever used
for calling men from the fields 10 their
meals. Hence few farm houses contain
anything by means of which loud cry
for assistance could be made. Would Il
not be WELL in addition TO providing farm
houses with ladders, buckets and other
appliances for extinguishing fires, to also
provide tin horns to be blown In case of
fires or other events requiring aid9 BY a
little practice person can learn TO make
sounds distinctive from those designed as
a call for dinner. As the farmers of near
ly every neigh hborhood now meet for
counsel in Grange or Club room, they
could agree on a signal in case of fire or
other accident requiring assistance. BY
an arrangement of this kind many per-
sons could be called in a few minutes
The saving of one building would more
than pay for the outfit of tin horns for an

Fires on Farms.

PUTTING a lock on the stable door after
the horse is stolen has been practiced so
long that it finds place in the catalogue
of wise old sayings. Getting fire engine
after the village has burned up is another
quite common practice, AS ouly children
once burned fear fire, 50, as a rule, only
those who have been burned out once
prepare safeguards against fires, or have
any conveniences in case of emergency.
Owing to the care Of farmers and the fact
that they ordinarily own the houses they
live in, fewer fires originate in farm
buildings than in those situated in towns
Still the number of instances where the
fire makes clean sweep is much greater
in the country than in the city. This is
due to the fact that from the nature of
things a public fire department cannot
be maintained in the country, and TO the
additional fact that there are few or
no private facilities for putting out fires,
The instances are rare where there are
ladders that can reach the roof of the
house, or any that can be adjusted to the
roof, over which water can be carried.
Few farm houses are supplied with chem.
ical fire extinguishers, hose or force
pump. The instances are rare where
there is suitable supply of buckets in
which to carry sufficient water TO extjn
guish even an inoipient fire. The supply
of water is often at an inconvenient dis
tance, having TO be drawn from deep
we'll or dipped from spring. In other
cases II is inconvenienily near the burn
ing building, in cistern under or beside
