roads in running order in all of $50
miles. The roads built since the war

has plenty Of room for improvement
in that line.

Handling Colts.

It is now the season for putting colts
at their first work, and as many farmers
are supposed to have sold surplus
horses since last seasons active work,
depending upon putting young stock to
work, il is of the highest importance
that this work be very carefully COM
menced, and the muscular and joint
powers very gradually brought out,
otherwise the colt will become discour.
aged and learn to dislike the approach
OF the driver and harness. 1t is well to
put the harness upon the colt q few days
before calling upon him to do any work,
letting him stand in the stable with the
harness on, the chains, il there be such
to the harness, hanging loose, that he
may become accustomed to the rattle
about his heels. Take him out with his
harness on, driving him around the lot
or along the road, either single or with
the beast he is to work with. When he
is taken to the field, it is well, in place
of taking whip with you, to take lit
tie oats in a sack and pail When he
gets worried or discouraged with the
draught you put upon him, speak gent
ly, give him q little oats in the pail, let
ting him stand for q few moments, and
you will be surprised at his renewed
courage and willingness to pull. Say
but little, make your motions in q very
quiet and matter-of-fact way, as though
you took it for granted he considered
himself q full-grown horse, and yet do
not yourself forget that he is young and
green and as soft as half-ripe squash.
II you expect the work of six year old
horse out of him, then you are an ass,
and if you attempt to whip work out OF
him, then your next door neighbor
should have you arrested for lunacy.-

Shingles.

! A correspondent of the Country Gen.
Aenan thus discourses in that journal
on the subject of treating shingles to
guard against decay:
In 1861 built a new barn and put on
a roof of the best shaved pine shin giles
/ could get. They were made on my
own pine land in Pennsylvania, and
made by experienced workmen. They
were not dipped or painted. The cupola
on the ridge is nine feet square, and a
streak the width of it down to the caves
has no moss on it, the shingles look
new on both sides of the roof, while all
the rest of the roof is more or less
covered with moss. called the atten-
ton of a reasonable carpenter to it this
year and asked him what made the
difference. He said it could be nothing
else than the paint that washed from
the cupola-. A man in the neighboring
town keeps his roofs all painted, and I
have been past his buildings every few
DAYS for thirty years and have never
known of his putting on a new roof. ]
have had much dealing with him and l
know him to be strict economist. He
paints all his buildings Except his
house) with yellow ocher once in about
ten years. sL .5- s5..H--
1 think the next best thing after
painting is to whitewash with common
lime as soon as the roof is on. Put it
on thick and strong. Look at the roofs
of the old-fashioned houses of New
England, with the old stone chimneys,
with roof below them as sound as the
roof below the cupola on my barn. If
! have a very fat shingle roof, paint
it when new; all others I whitewash be-
fore the scaffold is removed. This is
many times cheaper than paint on new
shingles. Experience and observation
ought to teach old men what material
to use in building; young men are very
apt to follow some untested hobby.

Hot Cake to an Elephant.

A writer from India tells the follow
ing: One day two ladies were watching
some elephants being fed near their
camp in the jungles of the Central Prov
inces, when the elder of the two unfor-
tunately took it into her head to offer
one of the elephants very hot chapat-
ii, which is cake made of flour and
baked on the fire over q thin plate, and
consequently, when fresh made, is burn
ing hot. Elephants are usually fed with
these twice day, but they are always
allowed to cool before being given.
This one was still SO hot that it hurt the
beasts trunk, for he dropped it with the
quickness of lightning and with shout,
at the same time striking blow on the
hand Of the lady, who he of course con-
sidered had meant to hurt him inten-
tionally. Had she been but q little
nearer, and the beast not at the full
length of his chain, the same blow on
the head would certainly have killed
her on the spot. As it was, her hand
was in a most painful state for weeks
afterward. Next morning, when it was
time to start for the next encampment,
this same lady, who usually got up the
ladder first and sat nearest to the ele-
plants head, proceeded to do so as
usual, but as soon as she approached
the elephant he began to trumpet and
throw water over her. This he did sew
eral times, till at last she had to give up
trying to ascend, and another lady took
her place. The elephant. however, per-
mitted her to sit near his tail, but he re-
manned cross all day. OH. .--
