PRESERVATION OF HARNESS.

Though the harness is an article of every
day use, there are few who know how to care
for it so as to ensure its durability, and to
keep it looking clean and neat. A harness
that has been on horses back several hours
on hot or rainy day, becomes wet. If not
properly cleaned, the damage is irreparable.
IT. after being taken from the horse in this
condition it is hung up in careless manner,
traces and reins twisted into knots, and the
saddle and bride hung askew, the leather,
when dried, retains the shape given it while
wet, and when forced to its original form
damage is done the stitching and the leather.
Those who use harness are not altogether in
fault for this. They would take care of it if
they knew the extent of the damage that
would result from their carelessness, and that
they do not is the fault of the manufacturer.
It is mistaken policy that leads the manufac-
turer of any line of goods to neglect giving
needed information to the buyer. Every har-
ness manufacturer would study his own inter-
est by accompanying each harness sold with
printed rules for preserving the same
The first point to be observed is to keep the
leather soft and pliable; this can be done
only by keeping it we'll charged with oil and
grease; water is destroyer Of these, but mud
and the saline moisture from the animal are
even more destructive. Mud, in drying, ab'
serbs the grease and opens the pores of the
leather, making it ready prey to the water,
while the salty character Of the perspiration
from the animal Injuries the leather stitching
and mountings. 1t therefore follows that to
preserve a harness, the straps should be wash
ed and oiled whenever it has been moistened
by sweat or soiled by mud. To do this eff:
fectually, the straps should all be unbuckled
and detached; then wash with little water
and brown soap, then coated with mixture
of neatsfoot oil and be allowed to remain
undisturbed until the water is dried out then
thoroughly rub with woolen rag. The rub
bing is important, as it, in addition to remov-
ing the surplus oil and grease, tends to close
the pores and gives finish to the leather.
In hanging harness care should be taken to
allow all straps to hang their full length ;
brides, pads, gig saddles and collars should
be hung upon forms of the shape of each:
Light is essential to the care of leather, and
when the harness closet is dark, the door
should be left open at least half Of the time
during each day. All closets should be
ventilated, and when possible they should be
we'll lighted. To clean plated mountings use
a chamois with little bit of oil or rotten
stone, but they should be secured as little as
possible. Rubber covered goods are cleansed
in the same way. Leather covered needs to
be we'll brushed and rubbed with wooden
rag.
If a harness is thoroughly cleaned twice
a year, and when unduly exposed treated as
we have recommended, the leather will retain
its softness and strength for many years.

A WINTER AND SPRING PASTURE.

It is 80 easy to have the above, 1t seems tc
me every farmer should have one, If he has
any good land. But be must begin at the
proper time to make the preparation. A tar
mer cannot have winter pasture If ne waits
until winter to start it, as many do. Now is
the time to think about it and commence the
preparation. To the intensive farmer; the
farmer who lives on his place; who expects
to remain on it {; who takes an interest in his
business; who recognizes the value of and
necessity for practical experiments, | would
offer the following suggestions, and at the
same time commend them with the confidence
that arises from practical experience tor sew
eral wears. If rich land or even moderately
good land is used, I do not believe there will
be any disappointment to the most careless
farmer that will make the experiment, if
may so call it, that suggest Using stubble
land, say turn it over after season IN Au
gust In September lay off rows % feet
apart. In one row SOW oats, in another bar.
lev, in another rye, in another barley and
oats mixed half and half, in another rye and
barley, in another oats and wheat and so on
Put any manure that may be used in with the
seed, then harrow or brush across the rows
As soon as the grain is up, run sweep, har'
row or cultivator through to kill any weeds
and loosen the crust. In the course Of 2 or
8 weeks, break out the middles thoroughly
with narrow shovel. Afterwards sweep
once or twice with sweep that covers the
middle. By the middle of December, or at
any rate by the frs, of January, you will
have pasture for milch COWS and horses that
will do your heart good, and besides have the
advantage of comparison of the value OF
the different grains for your particular soil
It will be of absorbing interest AS rule, it
will furnish 3 months good pasture 2 head
per acre,) and very good crop of mixed
grain by the 2Oth of May (along this paral
leD if the stock are taken off about the mid.
die of March. Do not let stock run on it
when the soil is very wet. At such periods
the grain may be cut with sickle and car
ried to them, if it is necessary to rely exclu
sively on this pasture for maintenance OF
stock.
In June open the middles of the grain
stubble and sow to speckled peas, to be turned
under in August or September, and renew the
pasture; or, if desired list on the stubble rows
and plant to sweet potatoes. The former is
to be preferred, however, wherever it is prac.
ticable. A farmer in short time will find
what grain is more profitable to grow upon
his soil. So far, the writer prefers oats and
barley mixed, half and half, for this pur'
pose. .. "A. Y.

his work that he lay down for nap with his

"CAN THE LIFE OF G1RDLED TREE
BE SAVED ?'-This question is often asked
through the columns of the Agricultural press
and Invariably answered in the negative.
Mr.. Oliver Simmons, of this village, answers
the question in the affirmative and shows the
reason for the faith that is in him by his
works. On every tree upon which he has
experimental, he has succeeded, and on fruit
trees he has not only saved the life of the
tree but such trees have not been at all
retarded in fruit. bearing. Mr.. Simmons has
succeeded in cases where the girdle extended
entirely around the tree, and also where the
girdle was one and two feet in length. His
plan is simply this With gouge he makes
three parallel burrows the length of the girdle
and extending all inch or two below or above.
Into this furrow he nicely fits sapling (bet-
ter cut from the same tree or tree Of like
nature); covers this with wax and then binds
it above and below with cloth, covering the
whole with an enameled cloth bound so that
the rains cannot get underneath. The sap
flows through the sapling; all is soon knit to-
gether and grown over and the tree does as
we'll as man or child with broken arm
that has been properly cared for by the sur
geon. Out of. a lot of twenty.one apple
trees, badly girdled, Mr. Simmons saved eve
ry one, and out of lot Of over forty trees Of
various kinds his success was equally marked,
not tree being lost out of the entire num-
ber. This experiment has stood the test for
years. not one tree of any kind so attended
being lost: And so the oft-repeated question,
"Can the life of girdled tree be saved ?" is
answered in the affirmative. e.-Schoharie Re-

CURE FOR CHICKEN CHoLERA.-Fat bacon
chopped fine and sprinkled plentifully with
black pepper, is a convenient and reliable
remedy for cholera in chickens Last sum-
mer a number of hens were cured by its use
When found, where they had dropped from
the roost, they were so far gone that they
could not get up, and were only able to raise
their heads occasionally. They were given a
comfortable shelter by themselves; table,
spoonful of the mixture was forced down the
throat of each bird, morning and evening.
No other attention was paid them. At the
end of the third day they can help themselves
but no food is required. Smaller doses may
be given in cases less severe. have not
seen it tried on young chickens, but | believe
that given in small doses, say pill as large
as an ordinary pea, morning and evening,
would prove efcacious For very young
chickens, I would recommend still smaller
doses.-Prairie Farmer.

How TO M1LK.-The proper mode of milk.
ing is to take the teat in the entire hand, and
after pressing it upward, that it may be filled
from the capacious milk reservoir above, to
compress it first at the base between the thumb
and fore6nger, then successively by each Of
the three succeeding fingers, until completely
emptied. Some mixers seize the root OF the
teat between the thumb and fore6nger and
then "drag" down until it slips out of their
grasp. In this way the teat and udder both
are often severely injured. The COW should
be milked regularly and the milk entirely
drawn off: If the milking is properly and
seasonably done, there is little danger of dis
ease of the teats or udder. More COWS are
ruined from faults of this kind than from all
other causes, and our readers will do we'll te
avoid them.
