TIE CARE OF Harness. From bad har-
ness as much danger may be apprehended as
from a bad carriage, and, however skillful
the driver may be, if the harness is not per-
feet the horses cannot be well managed.
Besides, an old harness is always in want of
repairs, and many people, from a saving no
ton, continue repairing, till there is scarce
O vestige of the original left, and the repairs
have even cost twice the price of the harness
when new. That harness may neither be
thrown away too soon, nor used so long as
to become expensive aud troublesome in the
repairs, it will be proper to observe the
length of time it will be expected to last, and
what the expense for repairing it may be,
while in regular use. A great measure de-
pends upon the quality Of the leather and
the suiiciency Of the workmanship; it is
necessary to examine at the first that the
leather bs,frm yet pliable; and that by pull
ing it it does not contract in the width or
extend in the length, which bad leather will
do, and will, besides, be ragged Mt the edges
anu rough Ou Tie lu0lQt. NyOu StNIUI also
tends much to the preservation. The fuEni-
ture with which the winkers and housings
are mounted should be of silver, and not of
plated metal, which makes but little differ
ence in the first expense, for they will last
with the harness, but otherwise are fire.
quently obliged to be renewed.
Harness pcrishes with hanging by, and
however moderately it may be used, yet, af-
ter six years, cannot be very fit for further
service unless great care indeed has been TAX
en- to preserve it. To prove its goodness is
to compare it with the number of wheels
worn out on the carriage to which the har-
ness has been used, either in the town or
country in town it will last with three sets
of,wheels, and in the country with two, or
four years regular work, supposing the
work on the average to be about five or six
miles day constantly.

AGRICULTURAL.


The YoUNG Man AND THE FARu.'-
The following extract from recent ad-
dress by Prof Wickson, of Utica, is note
worthy: "With the advance of farming as
q science will come better opinion Of the
farmers position among men. Every year
intelligence and true success are winning
wider recognition in social circles. Among
old opinions which must vanish is the pop
ular view that a farmer is outside the line Of
social and political advancement. This op-
inion, although it has been widely held,
has always been fallacy, a mistake of mar
row minds. The young men are blinded by
it. They have left farms because this cross
eyed view of life has been forced upon them
by foolish people They have been persuaded
that desertion of the farm was an entrance
to glory. How great an error this has been.
All history gives the lie to such belief. A
man upon farm is not 'out of the world
as some would think. How far an occasion
can reach to grasp its hero, do not know.
Butt believe that when the saving of his
country demanded the strong arm of Gin
cinnatus, he was just as near, when behind
his plow, as though graduated farmer, he
had been sporting purpled robes in the fo-
rum. And believe that when the old Con-
tinentals of New England called their leader,
Putnam heard their call just as distinctly
upon his farm as though he had been serv-
ing for twenty years behind counter in
Hartford. do not believe that man is
buried upon farm 1t seems to me all
history teaches US that the promptings to
duty and the call to greatness are no louder
in crowded thoroughfares than in country
lanes fringed with daisies.
The young man and the farm on the one
hand duty, on the other an opportunity?
here an obligation, there a way to discharge
1t. And in thinking of the duty Of the
young man, is it not encouraging that he
need not leave the industry where he finds
it, and that he himself, as he fits himself for
a better farmer, becomes also better man
This the labor, this the reward. The better
the man the more noble his calling. The
young men can make agriculture what they
will it offers full returns for their best eff
forts. The country needs better men, and
the best men will be honored in its service.
The best man in the end will win, and he
will reach the reward for his excellence-it
matters not whether, departing he puts up
the bars behind him, OF whether he come
from marble doorstep. The youth may be-
come man upon farm if he will lie can
not do more elsewhere

ColleetIng Materinl for Mnnnre.

This work is always Of primo impor-
tance, and from now until spring should
receive the attention it deserves. Ohal
of all kinds, leaves and mold from the
woods, marsh and muck, cotton seed; in
short, all materials of every character
that can, by decomposition, be made to
increase the compost heap, should be
from time to time collected and piled in
some convenient place for use next
spring. You viii in this way vastly in
crease your plant food. 1t is folly to
plant an acre in corn, unless it is fertile
enough to produce thirty bushels; it isa
still greater folly TO plant an acre in cot
ton that will not produce bale of 500
pounds. With little care and attention
this winter, each farmer may collect
enough manure to enrich a few acres of
land, and we will guarantee that if he
once commences the good work, he will
be so pleased with it that he will CON
tinue to improve his land. All the stable
and COW lot manure should be scrupu-
lously collected and piled under shelter.
A good plan for forming the manure
heap, is to put layer of woods mold,
then a layer Of horse or COW manure,
then thin layer of cotton seed, then
layer of woods mold, and so continue
the heap until it is of convenient size.
In the spring you will have a large pile
of the very best manure suitable for any
crop. Try this method and make at
at least one bale of cotton to each acre
planted. This has been done by others,
and can be done again farmers Vim
dicator.

FLoDDEN. This thoroughbred sire, the
property of Mr. Grant, ofLYictoria, Kan,
has just been brought into the country, and
early next Spring will be forwarded to the
Victoria Breeding Farm, Kansas. Flodden
was bred by Mr.. Merry, of England, got by
Thormanby out of Miss Ann by Scottish
Chief. Thormanby won the Derby in 1860.
Flodden is closely-quilt, well put together
bay horse, with black points, and has more
the cut Of an English weight carrier than of
race horse. He has the manner of q horse
that has been hunted, and, in consequence,
cannot fail to prove most useful sire for
horses for general purposes.

To DESTROY RED ANTs.-If the haunts
of the ants are found they are easily destroy
ed by pouring boiling water from tea ket-
tie upon them. If this cannot be done
sponges saturated with sweetened water
should be laid in the places where they
abound, and when the ants have collected in
them, the spOnges should be dipped in boil
ing water. A chalk mark drawn around the
sugar box or other vessels infested by ants
has been found that they will not cross line
of chalk.

indicted, but as the grand juries nowadays

have great fear of mixing politics and re-
