BALKY UoRsEs.--A correspondent
civcs some of his experience in this line,
rs follows: In 1875 | was forced to 90
ten miles behind Il horse said to be ''some-
what inclined to balk.' He went on
for two miles, but about the middle OF the
first hill stopped. | remained quiet. and
wondered if that was his first inclination
to balk After u few minutes said, . go
along" and pulled gently on the reins.
His ears went back and all four feet set
tied upon the mother earth | had heard
of turning balkv horses around to start
them, and so commenced pulling on a
rein to turn him. and said again 90 long.
and the beast turned willingly. and SO
swung him round the circle and faced
up hill again. and he went to the top and
onward until he again concluded to stop
and reflect. turned his head homeward,
and cncirclcd his thoughts fifteen times IN
that ten miles, and beat him ut his own
tricks, and never struck the spirited ami
nal 4 blow. He was driven back by an
other person who had heard my story
| with some ridicule, and said ''hed break
that spirit in him or Kill him" He, how
ever, broke both thills, and 'ed the horst

MANAGEMENT OF LARGE BULLs.-All
stock breeders know that large bulls have
a perfect disregard for fences, and there
fore have to be kept in the stable, some
times for years Experience has shown
in most cases where bulls a:e kept so con-
fined, without air or exercise, that they
become either impotent, or very precarl-
o,p stock getters. also headstrong and
dangerous to handle. l kept a Short
Horn bull six years. When he was a
year old, l began handling him with 4
rope similar to one ordinarily used to cast
a horse. He would make great resistance
and after hard struggle would have to
come down. l repeated this every SIX
months that l had him, and he never
knew that he had any strength. His lofty
head was lcveled to the ground in Il man
ner very humiliating to him; he was al
ways as kind as an OK, and any child could
lead him to water. Throwing him took
the cOnceit entirely out of him.

Wages of Farm Labor in the United
States.

The July report of the department OF ag
riculture contains very valuable article
on therate of wages of farm laborers IN the
nitcd States. About the year 1886, Mr..
II. c. Carey made 4 careful Inquiry INTO
the subject. and from the best information
which he could obtain he estimated the
average rate of wages at 50 month with
hoard. In 1866 an estimate was made
and from 1910 statements received the
rate had risen to $500 with board, IN IN
,.rease in single generation, and mostly
within the last five years of the war; OF -
per cent, -,
At the same time the average rate With
ont board was $50. and in states employ
! inc white labor, S2S per month, without
board, or at the rate of $3.50 per annum
The wages of English farm laborers at the
same date, including all extras and allow
ances, was Sls2 per annum.
| In 1860 another investigation showed
General decline in the value of farm pro
ducts. and the reduction of the price o
wages to 50 l. without board, and $lo 81
with board, the difference representing
board being 1926 against $1,000 in 1866

The Baptist Centennial Movement

We find the following in regard to
the Baptist Centennial movement in
the San Francisco Bulletin: "The
Baptists of California are falling into
line in the great Centennial movement
of their denomination in the United
States. This denomination proposes
to lay Oh the altar of education as their
gift for 1876 at least S5,O00,000. This
money is to be devoted to the endow-
ment of colleges, seminaries and acad-
emies in the different States and Ter
ritories. The Eastern States are rep
resented to be full of enthusiasm, and
have already made great progress in
the work. Some of the best financial
talent of the denomination have the
work in hand, and promise to see to it
that the offering shall be worthy OF
the denomination and creditable to
the educational interests of the nation.
The Trustees of California Colleges are
awake to the opportuneness of the
hour, and the Baptists of the State are
becoming much aroused upon the sub
ject of endowing their College. Rev.
Winfield Scott, of Denver, Colorado,
formerly from Leavenworth, Kansas,
has been engaged as Centennial agent.
1t is proposed to raise large endow-
ment,for this College and put it upon
a financial basis that will enable 1T to
rank among the first colleges on the
Pacific Coast.

LITTLE BARBARA's HYMN.

A mother stood by her spinning wheel,
Winding the yarn on an ancient reel;
AS she counted the threads in the twilight
dim,
She murmured the words of a quaint old
Hymn;
"Whether we sleep. or whether we wake,
We are His who gave His life for our sake"
Little Barbara, watching the spinning wheel,
And keeping time with her toe and heel
To the hum OF The thread and her mothers
song,
Sang, in her own sweet voice, ere long,
whether we sleep, or whether we wake,
We are His who gave His life for our sake"
That night, in her dreams, as she sleeping
lay,
over and over the scenes of the day
Come back, till she seemed to hear again
The hum of the thread and the quaint old
strain:
"Whether we sleep, or whether we wake,
We are His who gave His life forour sake"
Next morning, with bounding II cart and feet,
Little Barbara walked in the crowded street;
And up to her lips as she passed along,
Rose the tender words of her mothers song:
"Whether we sleep, or whether we wake,
We are His who gave His life for our sake"
mourner sat by her loved ones bier,
The sun seemed darkened, the world was
drear.
But her sobs were sulled, and her cheek grew
As she listened to Barbara, passing by:
"Whether we sleep, or whether we wake
We are His who gave His life for our sake"
Alike in all hearts. as the years went on,
The Infants voice rose up anon,
In the grateful words that cheered their way,
OF the hymn little Barbara sang that day:
"Whether we slee }, or whether we wake,
We are His who gave His life for our sake"
Perhaps, when the labor of life Is done,
And they lay down their burdens, one by
one,
Forgetting forever these days OF pain,
They Will take up together the sweet refrain:
"Whether we sleep, or whsther we Wake,
We are His who gave His life for our sake"

The Chinese festival closed this
morning at o'clock, and to-day at
noon on Negro Alley the devil will
be burned with oil due respect. Last
night part of the concluding ceremo-
Lies were held at the store of Kuong
Fook Long, OH Arcadia street, and
were prayers for the protection of a
Chinese angel named Hand See. A
picture of him adorned the store, and
a homelier angel was never imagined.
Just think of praying to an angel with
n crooked nose, head covering like q
sardine box with q knitting needle
stuck through it, a moustache and
goatee and pair of squint eyes TAX
ing an eagle glance at the well spread
table set out for him! We can't say
that we admire Chinese angels if this
was fair picture, but prefer the or
thOdoX pattern with pretty faces and
flowing robes, playing the harp and
floating through ETHEREAL space.
