Mr.. d. Fl. Thing, of Mt. Vernon, who is
well known throughout Maine as a sound
thinker and able writer ON agricultural topics,
contributes a sensible article to the last issue
of the Boston Culticator, in which he com
pares the cost and expense of keeping oxen
and horses on the farm from which we make
an extract:
"a pair of steers during the first year of
their lives require good care and keeping; af-
ter that, grass in summer and the poorest fod-
der in the barn in winter are all they ordina-
rily get until they are old enough to work,
when they begin to pay for their board, and
all the while are adding to their weight and
value, and founder, ringbone or SPAWN does
not doom them to the tender mercies of the
cheap jockey, but they 60 at once to the
butcher and are as ready of sale at thei- mar
ket value as bank bill, and they can be kept
the first five years as cheap as the ordinary
colt, and four good steers can be kept as
cheap as colt that is threatened with speed,
and yoke of oxen years old will sell on
the averave for nearly or quite as much as
much as two colts to say nothing of the
greater risk in rearing colts and the wear and
tear of morals in the vain effort to develop
speed where there is none. II occasionally
fast colt should drop out, he is not sold for a
very high price till he leaves the hands OF the
farmer; please remember that; somebody else
makes the money. Raising fast horses is, at
the best, risky business; too much like lot
terry, too many blanks for the prizes. 1 wish
to say to the young men, what few of them
are lett upon the farm, that if they will look
carefully over town, country or State in
which they live, if that be in New England,
they will find that as class those farmers
who are the best off, the most Independent,
the most respected and of the most value and
Importance to society, are those who have
stuck closest to their oxen, cows, sheep and
hogs, and who have bought the least western
corn and flour. Is not that SOP"

All, would that night come back again
When she took from her chatelaine
Her seissors 1t was not in vain
hear her laugh the while her
Fingers, dimpled soft and fair,
Thrill as she clips one lock of hair;
WINE L, Ike Samson, sit still there
And smile on sweet Delilah.
When blonde and brown locks interlace,
VI scented tresses sweep your lace,
While laughter unto sigbs gives place,
And pouting lips are present;
Or meek gray eyes droop still more meek
And dimples play at hide and seek,
There's but one language lips can speak
IT'S trief, but rather pleasant!
In place of Lucy's hand l feel
The chilly touch of Wizaid's steel,
Who brings me back from the ideal,
BY talk of lime juice water;
And beauty's fingers no more hold
My locks they're by the barber sold
To stuff arm chairs; sometimes, I'm told,
They're used TO mix with mortar.
And Lucy? She's at Bangalore,
And married to old Colonel Bore;
They say she f1irIs from ten to four
Indeed, do not doubt them.
IT'S hard to steer among the rocks
OF lie without some awkward knocks;
They say that Glove laughs loud at locks''-
He bowls at those without them!

THE FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.


A correspondent of London journal writes
that number of Canadian horses, purchased
in the neighborhood of Toronto and Montre-
al, have been brought over to England with
perfect safety and with very profitable and
encouraging results, and says:
went down TO Worcester Park, charm
ing suburban village in Surrey, a few miles
from London, where the stables are situated
in which the horses are located. The ami
mails were all in what call capital condition
"a little ''above themselves" perhaps, but
not so fat as horses are generally made in
England by dealers before sale. The impor-
tation was private speculation, and the i'm
porter intends to sail for Canada in about
three weeks to purchase another lot. Almost
all of the first lot have found purchasers very
readily here, although the market for horses
is falling a good deal from the prices of the
last three or four years.
The animals were suitable to all purposes,
and were all warranted sound to drive or ride.
The average cost price in Canada was $120,
and the selling average here has been e55, or
$275. The price there is hardly criterion of
what horse would fetch here, but of this lot
only dozen remained unsold when I visited
Worcester Park, though many of the sold lots
still remained at the stables. One fine. up
standing bay horse that was bought near To-
ronto for $102 was sold to gentleman for a
brougham horse for 463. He was, in horse
dealers slang, the "pick of the. basket" and
made the top price. He looked very like TAX
ing to the timber business, if properly schooled
for hunter. All the sales were made to pri-
vate buyers.
The horses were shipped from New York
owingj to the boat from Montreal breaking
down. They came in the Wyoming Of the
Guion Line, without scratch, in a patent
apparatus which economies room on ship
board and secures safety to the animals. The
cost was $50 head from Montreal to Lon
don, including every expense.
1t is the opinion of many judges who have
seen this lot of horses that Canadian bred an
finals are better suited to the English market
than those of Kentucky. As they are the
first lot of American horses ever landed in
London, they have been visited by many per-
sons interested. The Glasgow Tramway cars
have been partly horsed by American bred
cattle, bnt none of the horses are yet en-
ployed by the general omnibus company, who
are ready to buy to any extent if the right
sort is offered to them at the right price. The
company have for three or four years been
paying about e35 per head for horses of a
rough and useful wear and tear stamp.
Such was the interest felt in this consign-
ment that the agricultural hall management
expressed desire to have them on view at
their establishment. Owing to.the horse
show, however, this was impracticable till
most of the lots had found purchasers 1t is
very likely however. that the next arrivals
will be shown there.
