Breaking to Lead.

Any one conyersant with the handling Of
domestic animals knows that they have an
innate propensity to pull back. They go
astray in obstinacy as soon as they are born,
and unless the tendency is early overcome
the habit is confirmed. Hence halter break
ing them as it is called, is considered one Of
their first and most important lessons. But
it sometimes happens that the early training
Of an animal is neglected, and then the man
can show himself superior TO the brute. A
Young Dane in the employ Of Western far
mer, was observed leading two refractory
cows with as little trouble as If they were
well-broken horses. On closer observ alton,
il was observed that be mad made half
hitch around one ear of each COW in the
rope halter with which he was leading them
This may seem q simple idea, but is it not
worth something? IL is certainly a great
deal better than to punish an animal, or OPP
pose obstinacy by obstinacy. Now is the
time for taking cows to their summer pas
lures, and good time to Try it. Please re-
member that no one is fit to train an animal
until he can govern himself and that the
best way to manage strong beasts is to out
wit them.

Sensitiveness Of the Horses Foot,

No form of flesh is more sensitive to
foot Its powers of sensiti,eness are like
those which lie sleeping under the human
fnger-nail. To protect this from hurt and
undue pressure, nature has put this hard
horny shield Wis the outer sole and Vet
have sat and seen an ignorant smith hack
and hes away this natural protection, until
he could actually indent it with his fingers,
and little drops Of blood oozed forth from
within | imagine the feelings of the horse,
after having been put into the shafts. He
was driven forth into the dust and gravel of
the streets, or sent pounding along stone
pavement with nothing but the thnnest
possible flament Of horn substance left be
tween the exquisite inner organization of the
foot aud the dirt, gravel, and stones on
which he was travelling. And Yet this
method Of procedure is not only tolerated
b, gentlemen OF wealth and character. but
indicated and held up as the model ~
method Of preparing the foot, for the emer-
gencie, of actual service.
Horn is a slow conductor of hea, and cold

time. and the fakes which are attached to

TO the hoof by accumulating and retaining
moisture beneath. In addition TO this. every
fake acts more or less as spring. in ward
ing of bruises or other injuries To the sole
and thus the floor Of the horny box is pro-
tected from injury internally and externally.
Yet, the farrier, following out the routine
OF his craft, injudiciousy pares the sole I'M

cost less per pound, but they are dear be
especially for children. who vii not eat fat
and gristle A sirloin of beef is an excel
lent joint. but it is generally and nightly
considered al expensive one. Yet IT may
be used as TO turn il TO very good account.
Unless there is a family weakness for fat. il
should never be cooked with the flap on.
Rather the flap should be cut straight of,
then sailed and boiled. pressed and glazed,
when il is excellent. Or little OK kidney
and few timed oysters should be put with
il. and it should be made into PIE. when it
will be delicious. The housekeeper, when
purchasing a sirloin OF beef, will do well 10
think Of this way Of using the flap, and buy
a joint weighing pound or two more for
the purpose Of trying it. She may thus Of
tain better cut, and will certainly reap an
advantage. Sometimes the under cut Of
sirloin is taken out and cooked separately,
like rump steak. Cold roas, sirloin is, how
ever. so excellent that it is questionable
whether the plan is good one. When 3
sirloin of beef is no longer fit 10 be brought
10 the table, there is always a great deal Of
meat on it which can be used for rissoles,
croquettes, sausage rolls. Cornish pasties,
sheph erd's pie, etc. and there is fat which
can be rendered down for dripping. Hard,
sinewy parts Of meat generally cost little,
and are very good if stewed long and gently.
OF this nature are the roll of the blade
bone Of beef. the muscle Of the leg Of beef
and the scrag end Of neck Of mutton.
Mes, Of this Kind should be stewed gently
for long time, five or six hours. 1t will
then be found excellent, and will supply
cheap and good dinners at a trifing cost.

THE SUN FOR 1881.

EVERYBODY reads The SUN. In the
~ editions OF tins newspaper throughout
the year to come everybody will find
l. All the worlds news, so presented
that the reader will get the greatest
amount Conformation with the least un.
profitable expenditure of time and eve
sight. The Sun long ago discovered lie
golden mean between redundant fulnpss
and unsatisfactory brevity.
III. Much of that sort of news which de-
ponds less upon its recognized Importance
than upon its interest to mankind. From
morning TO morning THE SUN prints a
continued story of the lives of real men
and women, and of their deeds, plans.
loves, hates, and troubles. This story is
more varied and more interesting than any
romance that was ever devised.
Ill. Good writing in every column, and
freshness, originality, accuracy, and de-
corum in the treatment of every subject.
Nv. Honest comment THE Suns habit
is to speak out fearlessly about men and
things.
V. Equal candoI in dealing with each
political party, and equal readiness to
commend what is praiseworthy or to re-
buke what is blamable in Democrat or
Republican.
vi. Absolute independence of partisan
organizations, but unwaverlng Loyalty to
true Democratic principles. THE Sun be-
lieves that the Government which the
Constitution gives us is a good one to
keep. Its notion of duty is to resist to lis
usmost power the efforts of men in the
Republican party to set up another form
of government in place of that which
exists. The year 1881 and the years i'm
mediately following will probably decide
this supremacy important contest. The
SUN believes that the victory will be with
the people as against the Rings for monop-
oily, the Rings for plumber, and the Rings
for imperial power.
Our terms are as follows:

THE MINERS OF OLD MARYLAND

Far away on the top of the mountains,
Away from the oceans loud roar,
Mid streams and bright flowing fountains,
IL Frostburg the town I adore.
IT'S there that old mother nature
Has been good to her dear sons of toll
By storing the earth with treasure,
Away underneath the bright soil.
When came to this great mining country

My clothes hung in tatters about me,
And I'd no place to stay over night.
was walking along on the G. g. P. road
Looking round for place to cncamp,
When at the sand.house boy hallooed:
Come in and get warm, you poor tramp"
Now here was welcome I'll never forget
As long as breathe Gods pure air;
1t came from the son of a miner, you bet,
For all ofthese youngsters are square.
1t shows that miner instils in his child
One of Gods greatest gifts-charity;
And though they are reckless and wild,
For distress they have great sympathy.
Through the North, South, East and West
I've Travelled throughout this wide world,
But the place 1 found solid frienCs, in distress
Was Frostburg in old Maryland.
l was taken in, clothed, and fed like prince
And soon put to work in mine,
Where I've worked like q man ever since,
And think I'll remain for time.
Yes must say the miners ofold Maryland
Are solid and true TO the core;
If man, you are sure of their hard.fis.ed
hand
And good friend you'll have evermore.
They work for living at great risk otlife
Where the sun meier shows his bright face
And when they are through with thisworld
ofstrife,
May they all up above "find place"
