The Treatment Of Maud s.

MAUD S. is highly bred mare, and
wants to be humored. Her heart iswon
by kindness. She will not stand harsh
treatment; will not prove obedient under
rough usage. Both. Blair and his wife
made much of Maud S. They petted
her, and treated her to apples and Jumps
of sugar. The result is, that she will
eagerly respond to their call. When
jogging on the track at Chester Park,
the presence of Mrs. Blair near the rail
at any time, would cause Maud to turl
in that direction. All last winter the
mare ran in n roomy box. In April she
was put in front of break cart, and
Mr.. Blair drove her about the streets of
Clifton and Cincinnati, and thus got her
accustomed to the noise and hustle of
the toiling world. He also haTnessed her
double, and taught her to drive on either
side. She always behaved well to the
pole. She does not like blinds to her
bride, but will trot with any kind of bit
in her mouth. All she asks is that the
driver shall not pull on the bit. She
stands 1872 1-2 forward, and is plump
sixteen hands behind. Her weight is
$50 pounds. In her races this year she
has been driven to fifty-one pound
sulky, but Blair is having made for her
a sulSy weighing forty-five pounds. She
wears fifteen and half ounce shoe
forward, and a nine ounce shoe behind.
She also carries four ounce toe weights.
For two weeks after her arrival at the
Queen City, she will be turned at every
evening into a six.acre grass lot, and be
allowed to run until 8 o'clock. This will
keep her hair from fading under the
SUMS rays, and it will cool her out thor
oughly. After two weeks run at grass
she will be led every day for two weeks
behind break cart, SO padded that she
can not hurt herself. She will then be in
condition to order at short notice for a
fast mile, should Mr.. Vanderbilt desire
to see one on his return. Blair says he
had hoped to give her a record of
2:09 3-4 before the close of the season.
At Rochester she trotted solely on her
courage. He thinks she can go to the
half-mile pole in :03.-IHrf, Field and
Farm.

Castor Oil the Best Lubricant.

Mr.. S. H. SMITH asks if castor oil is
not too glutinous for the best service for
wagon grease and for use on machinery.
For watches it would be; but brief re-
Election on the character of friction un-
der common conditions will convince
Mr.. Smith that an oil which will remain
in the journal instead of leaking out is
the most desirable. In all kinds of
coarser machinery, such as steam en-
gines, mowing-machines, ETC., the
greater part of the friction arises from
the imperfections of the workmanship,
the binding of the bearings from being
thrown out of line with the shaft, and
the accidental pressure of foreign sub
stances, so that resistance offered by the
mere sickness of the lubricating sub
stance becomes of no importance.
A great difficulty with all tyros in the
use of machinery is the wasting of oil
by its too profuse use. 1t often happens
that a bearing will heat when supplied
with too much oil that will run cool
when served with the proper quantity.
The reason is that when the lubricator
is partly worn it becomes, as Mr.. Smith
says, sticky; it resists removal; it re-
mains tenaciously between the shaft and
its bearing; whereas too much
of it, usually thin and impid,
serves to "wash the bearing and let the
parts into closer contact. In the work.
ing of mowing-machines this point may
be exemplified. In grass land, where fly
ing dust is at the minimum, the machine
should be kept oiled just sufficiently so
that the shafts will show an oily film as
seen through the oil holes, and the
slightest appearance of fresh oil at the
ends of the boxes any more is an in
Jury. While in use for moving grain,
where dust is usually considered very
destructive, all parts should be kept oil
ed so freely as to keep the bearings al
ways well washed-that is, oil continu-
ally working Out-then the grit can not
work in.
Castor oil is not used largely in ma
chinery in this country because of its
cost, but as a lubricant for all coarse
machinery it can hardly be excelled. 1t
is especially adapted for light buggies,
and the writer has run buggy over tif-
ty miles with one oiling, and on exam
inatiOn found the aXles in splendid con-
dition, probably good for twenty-five
miles mOre-steel axles close fitted. If
Mr.. Smith will note the wrench the
bearing gets every time the wheel is
turned from its course he will probably
be convinced that he wants an oil OF CO.
herence enough to withstand considera-
BILE pressure and stag there. The writer
is an engineer of practical service, and
believes he speaks from experience as
well as observation when he advises Mr..
Smith and all Ofbprs who have nicely
fitted buggies to use nothing but caster
oil as a lubricant on them.-An En-
gineeT, IN N. Y. Tribune.

Who Owns Her Clothes Z

In Pratt against State Gan Ohio case)
it was held that necessary and suitable
clothing furnished by husband to his
wife, or purchased by her with money
or means given to her by her husband
for that purpose, does not become her
separate property within the meaning
of the statute concerning the rights and
liabilities of married women. The Court
said: Notwithstanding the very COM
prehensive terms of this statute, ma
iority of the Court are of the opinion
that they do not embrace the wearing
apparel of the wife, furnished by her
husband, or purchased by her with
money or means given to her by the hus-
band for that purpose. AS to such prop
erty, it was not intended by the statute
to deprive the husband of all ownership
or control;. for surely, while the duty of
the husband to furnish his wife with
necessary and suitable clothing is con-
tinued, it was not intended to deprive
him of the right to control and preserve
it. Nor does it make any difference,
where wife purchases her apparel with
pin-money given to her by her husband
to be expended according to her will
anu plbASuT6s VI SuCu pIOpbIJy, Ju6
possession of the wife is the possession
of the husband. 1t has been held, how
ever, by the Supreme Court of Indiana
that a statute similar to ours operates
as to clothing of the wife acquired other
wise than from the husband, or through
his means, so as TO invest her with u
separate estate therein. And we are
inclined to think that there are good
grounds for the distinction. Where the
wife's clothing is furnished by the hus-
band, in discharge of his marital duty
toward her, the statute does not divest
him of the property contrary to his in
tentions: while on the other hand, where
the property is otherwise acquired by
the wife, the statute simply prevents a
title vesting in him by virtue of his
marital relation. Under the statute the
gift which is declared to be the sep
arate property of the wife, is voluntary
one, as all gifts must be, and does not
embrace necessaries which a husband is
under legal duty to furnish his wife,"
Under our (New York; statute mar
ried woman can sue in her own name
for injury to her paraphernalia but in
the absence of proof of gift to her, the
husband can sue.-AtbaHy LalO Jour

Perpetual Pig-trOughs.

A CORRESPONDENT wants to know
the best kind of wood to make hog
troughs out of so they will last and so
the hogs will not eat them up. an
swer, make them out of iron, not out of
ironwood, but cast-iron. grappled
with this problem a half-dozen years
ago and mastered it. / became an in
ventor. had an invention put into the
form of model and got the proprietor
of an iron foundry to cast eight troughs
after the model. They were put into
the different pens and they are there
now, bright, clean, smooth, sound and
all right, and l expect to leave them
lust in this shape to my heirs. The
model cost S18, and the troughs six
cents a pound, and they weighed an
average of at least one hundred pounds.
The spout is cast with the trough in one
solid piece, and there are also feet cast,
and attached, by which it is fastened to
the floor. The corners are made round
ing and so is the bottom, so that freez-
ing does not crack them, as the ice does
not press against the corners or sides
but around the whole. They are easily
cleaned out, as the sloping sides allow
the dirt to slide out before broom, are
always in place and will never wear out
The wear and waste and annoyance of
modern troughs became unbearable.
Now l contemplate this part of farm ex-
perience with feeling akin to perfect
satisfaction. p. S.-The trough is not
patented.-F. D. Curtis, IN NeIO York

operate, there can of course be no cure.
Afterwards the saddle should be altered

His Last Drive.

James Brant, or, as the Montana
folks called him, English Jimmy"
was a stage driver, who for many
years had "handled the ribbons"
He was hero, though it was not
until his last ride that the public
knew il.
Jimmy's horses loved his affec-
tionate pat and stroke as much as
they did their oats. He rarely
used the whip. carrying it, indeed,
for the purpose of playing tunes
with the lash in the sharp noun
tain air.
One morning, Jimmy's four
horses jolted out Of Butte with a
coach-load Of men, women, and
children. A passenger sat with him
on the box. The stage swept along
the road at good rate, aud soon
the first relay, Girard's, was reach
ed.
There the horses were changed.
Jimmy remarked that the new
horses were not his old friends, but
strangers to him. He directed the
stable-man to arrange the harness
} carefully, as the team was evident
ly spirited.
When all was ready mischiev-
! Gus boy called out, "Now you go

The Origin Of Machine Made Pens.

Joseph elliot, the first to employ
machinery in the manufacture of
steel pens, was originally maker
of buckles aud other "steel toys"
working alone in q garnet in a
Birmingham "slum." At this time
he was engaged to a young woman
in his own rank in life, whose two
brothers were working, in about
the same style as himself, on hand
made pens. elliot thought he
could better the process employed,
and worked secretly in his garnet
until he had made a press and
other appliances, by which he could
make 20 times as many pens in a
lay, and better pens, than was pos
sible under the old methods. He
found ready sale for them, and
soon the demand outgrew his power
of production. At this juncture
his sweetheart agreed to his pro-
posal that they should marry and
work together, little dreaming Of
the ultimate issue of their enter
prise. In after years Mr.. Gillot
nsed to tell how, on the very morn
ing of his marriage, he began and
finished gross of pens, and sold
them for 81 As. before going to
church. American.
