The old Fashioned Heavy Soke-oxen
Trained TO Trot.
The idea of trotting oxen may seem
ridiculous TO those who regard the toll
inc on "a ernblematic of slow and labori-
o1s movement. Oxen can be trained to
walk and even trot at fair pace. Act
i've Devon steers will walk further than
a snau of horses under favorable circum-
stances. Rural New Yorker thinks it is
evident that oxen are more comfortable,
more easily guided and freer 10 walk and
trot in collar and traces than when car
rying a heavy yoke on their necks.
There has been a great deal of dis
cussion among mechanics rs TO the point
of the body from which the OK can draw
the heaviest load. The horse draws
from his shoulders or breast, while with
the usual yoke the OK must draw from
the neck. In parts of Brazil, where al
most all the carrying trade must be done
with OK teams, animals have been bred
for thick necks and straight shoulders.
that they may do fun service at the yoke
With such oxen the yoke may be most
suitable, but for the animals usually
worked it would seem that some more
desirable harness might be found.

COLLAR AND HARNESS FOR OXEN.

The Germans for long time fastened
the traces directly 10 the horns of the
oxen. Many of them still have a stout
strap bound around the base of the
horns, to which the traces are fastened.
A Long Island farmer has invented an
improvement on the German method.
In this the OK draws from the forehead,
padded band fitting around the head
first above the eyes The authority
quoted thinks that many oxen that are
worked in heavy yokes waste a portion
of their strength because their necks are
too light to stand the full weight of
their bodies, and their shoulders are not
straight enough to properly fit into the
bow. These oxen would do better work
IN the harness shown in the cut and pho
tographed by a New Jersey correspond
ent for Rural New Yorker These oxen,
1t is claimed, have become perfectly
familiar with this harness, and work as
contentedly in it as they ever did in the
yoke. No experiments have been made
to determine whether they can haul a
heavier load with the collars and traces,
but II Is believed that there is little diff
ference in this respect

Begin with thoroughly and accurately
made hives. Examine, SO far as practi-
cable, all the standard hives on the market
before you decide on the kind You will
have. This is important for two reasons
First, all hives III the same apiary ought
TO be precisely alike, so that all parts are
interchangeable Second, a change in
hives, after one is once engaged in api-
culture, involves much time. labor and
expense.
The old box hives have long since been
abandoned by intelligent apiarists for
the movable comb hives, of which there
are two types. One consists Of box, in
which hang the frames which hold the
combs. The adjacent frames are so far
separated that the combs. which inst
nil them, shall be the proper distance
apart In the other kind the ends of the
frames are wider than the comb, and
when III position are close together, and
OF themselves form two sides of box.
Most, IT not all, the standard hives in
present use represent one or the other of
these types.
The main feature of the hive should
NC SAiuPh'lt)i WHICH excludes drawers
and traps of various kinds. 1t ought
also to be made of good pine or white
wood lumber, thoroughly seasoned. The
movable comb hive was invented by
Langstroth about 1850. The LANG
stroth, with its various improvements,
is well known today throughout the en-
tire country. The Simplicity Lang
stroth" hive and the 'Heddon Lang
stroth" are very favorably known. The
1.atter is a favorite with Professor A. J.
Cook, who does not hesitate to recon-
mend it TO others. Mr.. A |. Root is
champion for the simplicity Lang
stroth." The Heddon hive combines in
principle the LangstrOth and the old
Huber" The "Quimby" still finds ad-
mirers, and is preferred by the Heather

How to Take on a Horses Shoe.

When shoe is to be taken off it must
not be violently wrenched at the risk of
splitting off large piece of hoof with it.
Let the clinched end of each nail be first
turned back. Then the shoe may be
carefully raised with the pincers far
enough to withdraw the nails, so that
their heads may be taken hold of by the
pincers and each nail separately drawn
out. The nails may also be drawn out
one at time, so as not to alter the posi-
ton of the tip of the shoe, and fast
nail made to exactly fit the countersink
in the shoe, and to pass through the
same hole in the hoof, may be driven in
its place.-Southern Cultivator.
