Why A Horse Baked

A Hartford man recently bought a
young horse for 5000. Within week
or two the horse began to act badly,
and finally developed such balky dis
position that the new owner could do
nothing with him. Persuation of every
kind and finally severe beatings were re-
sorted to, but still the horse remained
stubborn. At last,in desperate mood,
the horse was taken to the original owner
who bought him back for $25. The
cause of the whole trouble was soon dis
covered. The horse had been broken
to wear a names collar, and had never
worn any other kind-his owner had
put breast-collar on him after using
him little while, and no one "happen-
ed to think" that this change had pro-
duced the sudden obstinacy in the ami
NAL. Wearing the collar to which he
had been accustomed, the horse is all
right again, and the gentleman who has
got him back at profit of $175 in six
weeks, considers him worth fully 5000
again. Haven Palladium.

Important 10 Farmers.

In these days, when business man, be bf
merchant, farmer, or aught else, sits down and
deliberately counts the cost OF running his
business or farm, insurance is a very impor
tant item in his calculation, and naturally he
asks himself, Where will find a company Of
fering the best inducements, combined with
perfect securityi
Amongst the many annual reports made "a
Insurance departments, in compliance with
law, by the various insurance companies OF
our country, We would notice the twentieth
annual statement OF the American Insurance
Company of Chicago, which shows degree OF
solyencY and volume Of business most highly
gratifying and satisfactory. In the States OF
Illinois, Missouri and Indiana, its cash re-
ceipts for premiums during the year 1873 are
in excess of any other company doing business
in said States.
OF the twelve companies reporting to the II
linois department whose premium receipts eX-
coed $4,000 for 1873, the following is the list

FARM TOPICS.

How TO TRAIN A Colt TO HARNESS.
"A writer in the English agricultural
Gazette gives the following as an easy
and practical method of accustoming
young colts to the restraints of the har-
ness: "Put on him an easy collar, hav-
ing pair of reins attached, or add two
pieces, to lengthen the traces, and let a
strong man walk behind him, holding
these. After a few minutes the leader
may order the man to pull the traces
very gently, so as to press the collar but
slightly at first. In little time he may
pull tighter, while the leader keeps his
eye on the colt; and if he shows any
signs of finching, let him order the
traces to be slackened and then gradual
ly drawn again, until the colt is seen to
lean into his collar, when the man who
holds the traces may use his whole force
for short time only. The traces must
now be slackened again, and the same
course gone over repeatedly; but stop
ping the colt occasionally, to gentle
him, taking care, however, to slack
the traces just as he steps, and
to turn little to one side
when starting each time, while the
man pulls the opposite trace. After
this exercise, let him be taken to the
cart or other vehicle for which he is in
tended allow him to smell and exam
inc it; then push it away, and draw it
up to him several times, raising and
lowering the shafts, until he takes no
notice of it's noise or of the different ap-
pearances when raised or lowered.
Now turn him round, and put him be-
tween the shafts; rub them against his
sides; push back and draw up the cart,
striking him behind and on the sides
with it, until he allows himself to be
knocked about by it, so to speak. This
will do for one days lesson. Next day
let all his harness be put on, leaving
chains or straps to hang and strike
against him, while the whole of the pre-
vious days lesson is gone through step
by step. Same on third and fourth
days. He may then be yoked or hitched
to the cart; and should have at least
one hours exercise at going up and
down hill, turning, etc. First start on
level ground. If these directions be
carried out, the colt learns that the We
hicle he draws is not meant to hurt him,
and he will never try to 'kick it away
or 'run off from it.
Rules for 7raining---1. Never try to
beat colt into doing thing; or, if
nervous, he may turn out vicious
horse, and if stupid he may become
stubborn. Remember that by patience
and gentleness he can be got to do any
thing that will not hurt him.
2. When horse shows signs of shy
ing at any object do not beat him; but
lead him up to it, allowing him to stand
and look, as he comes closer. And after

HINTS FOR THE HOUSEHOLD.

Kerosene will make teakettles as
bright as new.
-Beeswax and salt will make rusty
latirons as smooth as glass.
"A small piece of charcoal in the
pot with boiling cabbage removes the
smell.
Clean oil-cloth with milk and water /;
a brush and soap will ruin them.
---Tumblers that have had milk in
them should never be put in hot water.
"A tablespoonful of turPentine in
the boiling wafer will whiten the clothes.
"A little sperm, or gum-arabic, with
salt, should be put into boiled starch.
Fish may be scalded much easier
by dipping them in boiling water for a
minute.
Fresh milk, after beginning to sour,
will sweeten if placed out of doors in
the cool over night.
"A spoonful of stewed tomatoes IN
the gravy of either roasted or fried
uOdIo 10 e'u lihPiONOLnOhV'
Salt will surdle new milk; hence,
in preparing milk porridge, gravies,
ETC., that should not be added until the
dish is prepared.
Clear, boiling water will remove
tea stains and many fruit stains. Pour
the water through the stain and thus
prevent it from spreading over the
fabric.
Keep salt in a dry place; yeast in
wood or glass; fresh lard in tin vessels ;
vinegar in wood or glass; preserves and
jellies in glass; meal and flour in cool,
dry place.
Castor oil, besides being an excel
lent dressing for leather, renders it YER
min proof. 1t should be mixed say,
half and half, with tallow or other oil.
Neither rats nor other vermin will at
tack leather so prepared.
1t used to be the custom to soak
lard in cold water for "a hours before
"trying out" This was thought neces-
sary to remove the blood and make it
white and clean. More modern house
wives, some of them, have learned that
it is just as well to omit the soaking,
as the lard purifes itself during the
boiling process.
Never throw away lemon or orange
peel; cut the yellow outside off careful
ly, and put 1t into tightly corked bot
tie, with enough alcohol to cover it.
Let it stand until the alcohol is a bright
yellow, then pour it of, bottle it tight,
and use it for favoring when you make
rice pudding. Add lemon and alcohol
as often as you have it, and you will al
ways have nice havoring.
Most Aousekeepers throw away the
leaves and green tops of celery. There
is a better way than this. Dry them
thoroughly in the oven, then pulverize
to a fine powder, and they make a very
delicious seasoning for soup, the aroma
and strength of the celery being remark
ably well preserved. After being pul.
verized, the powder should be kept in
jar or closed bottle to preserve its
strength.

Joy to the Afflicted.-One of the most
eminent American Chemists has discovered
process whereby he obtains, in palatable
form, all the active medicinal properties OF
the East India Cinchona bark, without dis
turbing the irritant and inert matter. In this
preparation the alkaloids are in their native
combinations, and the same proportions Of
the ingredients are maintained as exist in the
celebrated bark from the Neigherry hills.
This preparation is called CLIFFORD's FEB

Appeal for the Destitute of Gloucester.

Mayor Williams of Gloucester, Mass,
has published a letter saying: "The
recent appalling calamity, involving the
boss of 146 able-bodied men, with 13
vessels of our fishing feet, occasioning
81 INDECENT widows and 150 orphans,
has suddenly fallen upon our already
depressed city. Discouraging enough
we're our circumstances and pros
,ects before, but now an av-
laache of grief and destitution
las come upon many of our needy fam
lies with crushing violence. We there
ore feel impelled, though reluctantly,
pappeal to generous public for aid
y the contribution of supplies--cloth-
1g, groceries, money, or whatever each
nay have at hand-for the sufferers.

ing-houses, private barns, their contents, farm
property, churches and schOol-houses-wrte

he examines it few times he will not
fear any thing of the kind again. In
passing by hedges with a colt, throw in
stones, and stop him until he takes no
notice of the noise.
8. Before putting on any article of
harness, let your colt smell it, and then
rub it against his head, neck and body.
4. Always start horse with the voice ;
never with the cut of whip. In start
ing, turn a little to one side; and in
stopping, when going up a hill, do the
same.

1t is not generally known how near
lie zulus came, after the disaster at Is
adula, to bagging Lord Chelmsford
Imself and his entire staff. The Gen.
al would have ridden quietly into

wage foes, and was already within
lie shot of it, when he met an officer,
ho had escaped, and warned him OF
true condition of affairs.
The Zulus after their victory dressed
emselves in the uniforms of their VIC

'uld almost certainly have succeeded,

rifle at Lord Chelmsford's inform
instead of quietly assailing him in

A MoTHER's AFFECTION. Many Of
our citizens will remember poor George
Schultz, who for time was on the DO
lice force Of Seattle. in 1876 Z. and who
afterwards became bereft of bis reason
and was sent to the Insane Asylum
about q year and half ago. Many
years ago George lett his Eastern home
and came west to seek his fortune. Not
being numbered among the lucky ones.
he never wrote 10 his parents or friends.
aud they soon lost ell trace OF him.
His mother, however, was unccasing in
her efforts to learn the whereabouts of
her long-lost son. Through writing TO
the various postmasters on the coast.
and to various city officials, she finally
learned that man bearing the name Of
her son was confined in the Insane Asy.
lum Of Washington Territory. Sending
for and receiving . description of his
person, no doubt was left in her mind
that the George Schultz in Steilacoom
was her own dear boy, from whom she
had tearfully parted years ago 1t the
old homestead in New York Losing
no time, she started for this far-off
western land. She arrived few days
ago, aud the Dakota which sailed yes

their homeward journey. Mrs. Schultz
is quite an aged lady, being perhaps
sixtyyesrs old, get she is hale and Wig

care and sffectionate treatment will re-
store dethroned reason. George Schultz
