Training Heifers.

1t Is an easy matter to train a heifer
to stand quietly to be MIXED, but it is
easier to train them to Jump, kick and
run. The way to teach them TO stand
sti is to require them always to do 50.
IT there is naught to hinder wild heifer
from running, and if her fears prompt
her to Iun, she can and will run. IF
she lnnot run in short time she loses
her fear and stands from habit: and
habit Is one of the most powerful influ-
ences in the world for either man or
beast. II you want to transform a wild
heifer into wcl!-behaved, well trained
COW. You must be patient and exhibit
no temper. Never strike her. She
must first of all get acquainted with
you and learn that you will not hurt
her. She must learn not to fear YOU.
III in winter it is best to milk in the
stable. make as little fuss and as few
alarming motions as possible; handle
her very gently. Be careful not to
pinch the teats. This is the great
source of trouble. A COW naturally
wishes to be rid of her milk. She stands
quietly until some careless mixer has
given squeeze that hurts, when she
kicks and runs. By following such
course few times the habit will be
The best way to manage, If
you have no stable, is to have a well
fenced yard, and teach your heifers to
stand for milking in that; or, next
best, to tie them, using them very

SOUTH ST1RKSBORO.

Sugar makers arc having a sweet
time.
The governors fast day did not
get up to South Starksboro.
Albert Orvis Esq, has the largest
and best arranged sugar orchard in this
vicinity; he has already made between
three and four thousand pounds, with a
prospect of making as much more.
The horse of Linus Rounds, that
was stolen on the night of the 9th, has
not been found; he has offered $50 re-
ward for the recovery of. his horse and
apprehension of the thief.
1t has been q wonder to many why
such dearth of snow the past winter,
but thanks to the East Middlebury cor
respondent of the Register, he has
solved the mystery when he informs its
readers that the sky has fallen down OH
them. We hope no one is hurt. The
sky has not fallen here and is not
snowy either. Will the correspondent
of the Register please pass some of the
snowy sky over this way and oblige.
Things are getting little crooked
in what is called the Cove neighbour
hood, judging from reports from that
locality. While in that neighborhood
the other day, we were informed that
two fellows entered the house of a re-
spectacle citizen on the Sabbath and
abused him and his family; when re-
quested to leave and not disturb him on
the Sabbath day, they INDUCED in
abusive language and refused to leave
until they were ready. Our advice to
those fellows is not to repeat the Of
fence. One of the same fellows ordered
an old gentleman with sick wife to
move out of their house within a few
days or he would put them out, claim
ing he had bought the place. Now the
the facts are, the young imp had no
more right or title to the place than the
devil had to the kingdoms of the earth
when he promised them to our Saviour
if he would fall down and worship him.
We think the locality good place for
a missionary.
