This room is, ventilated by tlues in the
Walls'and by double hung 1 windows,

The cream is churmed twice a week, on

How TO CONQUER A BALKy IoRsE.--I
would prepare myself with a good strap
nj wanting whip; perhaps he has got
a taste Of that alrthdy, and he Is still
| master, But some fine day when | was
at peace with myself and all around
Mnltltl hitch him to the buggy, turning
his head to the village. lie goes half
the way we'll indeed; then he begins to
l. copsiQor he has gone far enough in
that direction and stops. | step down;
he expects ne to use The whip. lie is
mistaken. AS Il criminal treat him
OIL the silent system. push him back
a little ont of.thc way. | show him
the strap, putting it to his nose. go
to the oil side and buckle ii to his fore
the othercnd over his shoulder. lthcn
raise his near foot and fix it with the
hoof nearly touching his belly. This
done, say to him, "Now. old chap,
you stand there" don't smoke, SO
take Il packet, and, finding place
whore ! can sit down and lie see me,
| begin to read. This is something he
did 0t>Dargam for, and the novelty Of
standing OH three logs somewhat di-
vcrts his mind from the cause that
stopped him. think this is the chief
point to be gained, and the more hui
mans e..gJl liesnow shows signs of wish
to go, but that does not suit ne at the
time, rs have yet to look over "John
Caldigatc." When the strap is taken
off | show it to him, carcss him II little,
and we move on without irritation.
The .strap will now become II part OF
the harness for month or two, til nt
last the sight Of it wi II act rs 4 talisman.
LIVE STocK.-During the hurry of
WORK at this busy season, the stock,
ought not to be forgotten. One Of the
mosth important requisites for health
anq thrift Is regularity III feeding and
watcrimg. This refersnOt only to times
Of feeding, but to quantities and quail
ties. Of, fodder. Now that grpssiis past
Its best state. the stock may have some
roots pulled for them, or some corn
greatly benefited BY little concentrn-
ted food. 1t is important that live
stock have plenty ofgood fresh water,
especially at this time of the year, when
the hcrbqgc does not afford the abun-
dance Of jhltes of spring growth. ~sa'
FARMERS provide pure water for your
stock. Water that is not pure enough
foryou to drink, Is not fit for your
horse or COW. Do unto them as YOU
would have them do unto youth the
matter OF wator at least. : =
UNDER GLAss.-A glass tumblcr
turned over an herbaceous cutting in
an open pot will often prove highly ad-
yantagcous. 1t is best to whitewash
the glassd nstda3 with a wash Of lime,
Spanish hitting or white clay.
a HOUSE too closely shaded by trees
Will be apt to suffer from dampncss.
In building let the living and sleeping
rooms, as tar Us possible, face toward
tho SOUTH, and thus garl the advantage
Of the subshihc. Tie sun is Il great
