4 Valuable Herd.

The Springfield Union says Stephen
Hayward, )r., of Piainfeld has at his
~GIenwood" farm 4 herd Of twenty -fye
Durhams, fourteen Of which are milch
COWS varying in age from the third Lady
Sale" aged three years, to Lady Vslen-
tine Of Glenwood," thirteen years old,
bred by J. 0. Sheldon of Geneva, n. Y.
A portion Of the cows are rot giving milk
this winter and the remainder furnish the
family with butter, feed two calves and
produce forty pounds Of butter per week
lor market. Some Of these cows are val.
usd a. $1,000 each, and two young bulls
we're recently sold to Western breeders
for $500 each. One Of the COWS at one
time produced enough butter and cream
for family of four hearty mouutaineers,
and ten pounds Of butter per week besides
The COWS are fed on wheat bran, good
hay and a peck of Swedish turnips daily
10 each one. They are kept in a warm
barn and given good care, frequently
cardet and watered twice daily Lovers
of Durhams claim Of course that the but
ter the COWS Of that breed make has as
coed flavor rs the Attorney butter, and
that for beef they are far better than the
Jerseys. Mr.. Hayward and Mr.. Parsons
of Conway have often conferred together
in their purchases and sale Of Short-horns
and they have occasionally Owned a pc:
jointly.

Ho,y 70 Train a Colt to Harness


4 writer in the English Agriculture.
Gszette gives the following a. an easy
and practical method Of accustoming
Young colts to the restraints OF the mar
ness:
Put on him an easy collar, having a
par OF reins attached, or add two pieces
70 lengthen the traces, and let a strong
man walk behind him, holding these. At
ter q few minutes the leader may order
the man to pull the traces very gently 50
as TO press the collar but Slightly at int.
In little time be may pull tighter, while
the leader keeps his eye Oh the colt, and
II he shows any signs Of hlncbIug. let
him order the traces 70 be slackened, and
thea gradually drawn again until the colt
Is seen 10 lean into his collar. when the
man who holds the traces may use his
whole force for a short time only. The
traces must now be slackened again, aud
the same course gone over repeatedly, but
stopping the colt occasionally TO gentle
hin. taking care, however, to slack the
traces Just as be stops, and to turn little
to one side when starting each time, while
the mAn pulls the opposite trace.
Alter this exercise let him be taken 70
the cart or other vehicle for which he Is
intended, allow him to smell and examine
1t; then push 1t away and draw II Up 10
him several times, raising aud lowering
the shafts, until be takes no notice Of Its
noise, or Of the different appearances when
raised and lowered. Now turn him round
ana put him between the shafts, rub them
against his sides, push back and draw uP
the cart, striking him behind and on the
sides with Ii, until he allows himself 70
be knocked about by it." so to speak.
This will do for one days lesson. Next
day let all his harness De put on, leaving
chains or straps TO hang and strike against
him, while the whole Of the previous
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 vehicle he draws is not meant to
hurt MIN, and he vii never try to kick
il away" or "run of from it.
Rules for Training. Never try 70
beat q colt into doing 4 thing, or, If Der-
vous, be may turn out vicious horse
and if stupid he may become stubborn
Remember that by patience and gentle
ness be can be got to do anything that
will not hurt. him.
?. When a horse shows signs of shying
at any object, DO not beat him, bat lead
hirn up to it. allowing him to stand anc
lock, as be comes closer; and after hC
examines it few times be will not feal
anything Of the kind again In passing
BY hedges with a colt throw in stones aut
stop him until be takes no notice Of tht
noise.
3. Before putting on any article o
hs-.oss, Jet your colt smell it, and ther
rub it against his head, neck and body
4. Always start horse with the voice
never with the cut Of the whip. In start
ing, turn little TO one side and in stop
ping when going up hill, do the same

Baiky Horses.

In the Democrat of Jan. IA We find a
copy of the rules put forth by the Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
for the treatment OF balky horses, in which
are given several methods by which q
bslky horse may be made to 90. One OF
these is to tie a string around his ear,
another is to tie his tail to the saddle
girth, aud still another way by which the
unwilling beast may be made to go for
ward. is by simply placing your hand over
his nose until he wants to 20, and then to
let him 20. But il does not state whether
you shall remain standing in the road and
watch him 20, or whether YOU should
make sn effort to regain the carriage
while he Is in the act of going, aud thus
be with him to start him, should he stop
again. Now | do not doubt but what on
some occasions and under some circum-
Stances these rules would be OF much ser
vice, if rightly applied, IS a means OF
starting bslky horse, but where horse
has long been confirmed IN the habit OF
baking, don't think that he can be per-
msnently cured by the application Of any
of these rules. For the benefit OF any
one having horse which insists on stand
ing too long on the order Of his going,
viii describe way by which his stay IN.
any given spot may be shortened. Think
the best way to break horse or any 9TH
er animal OF bad habit, Is to take a day
or IS much time Is Is required, and make
it a business TO subdue him, for when a
horse il once beaten at MS own game, ne
usually remains so. To permanently cure
. balky horse, remove the body from a
pair of ordinary cart wheels, and tasten
couple of light poles to the axletree, after
the manner Of wagon shafts, letting them
extend in an opposite direction from the
tongue; attach a whippletree tOrthe horse
10 pull by, and then into these temporary
shafts harness your horse, taking care TO
have strong breeding straps aud to tasren
them securely 70 the thi.ls Then attach
q yoke Of oxen to the end Of the tongue,
heads toward the horse, 30 as TO push IL
stead Of pull. Now start the team. letting
the horse draw the wheels, and a. baiky
horses can usually be made to balk by
plaguiug them, 50 you should now plague
your horse, touch hin up a little with the
whip, yank on the reins, and yex him In
every way you can think Of Before you
have gone half 3 mile he will ba.k, y
there Is any balk in him. II he Will not
start when told, let your assistant : ART
the oxen and force him to g. Repeat
the operation until be will not Try to stop
Th,u hitch him in your carriage, treat
him with the utmost kindness, drive care
FL ~ tor q while, aud he will trouble you
no more by baking. NJ.

NV MIXTURE FOR WOODEN GoODs.-A
new effect may be produced in all kinds
Of wooden goods BY mixing china grass
with them. The object is to profit By a
property possessed by the grass OF not
taking the same dye as the wool, conse-
quently when the latter is dyed the yege-
table fibre retains its whiteness and gloss
1t is best to mix the two flores before the
spinning, say on the carding engine OF
willow, and to take the china grass little
longer than the wool, to enhance Its effect ;
the best proportion is ten to twenty per
cent. of the former to ninety or eighty
Der cent. of the latter. The yarn thus
spun is used for warp as well as for welt.
The wool employed may be carded Or
combed wool. The cloth can be raised
and milled as usual and woven in any de-
sired manner. The drawback to the use
Of china grass for textile manufacture
namely, It's liability to retain creases-is
thus reduced TO a minimum by the elias
ITCHY OF the wool.-Textile Manufacturer.

Tar on Fruit TREEs.-To the enquiry
Of one Of our subscribers as to the effect
OF common tar applied to the trunks Of
fruit trees as = wash, We may state that,
wten applied in small quantities, and only
upoa narrow strips, for the purpose Of
chccsing the ascent Of eanker worm
mo'as, it is always considered injurious
AMI liable to kill the tree, or at least
destroy its usefulness. We never have
heard of its being applied as wash, and
can see no way in which such an appica-
ton could do any good. We have very
little faith in any wash for the bark Of
trees. If the soil is fertile, the trees will
be healthy.-New England Farmer.
