home life attractive TO the average
young man. III on each holiday he
goes to the city. il will naturally soon
seem to him that city life Is all u
holiday, while life on the farm Is one
of nnceasing drudgery. IL often hap
pens that city boys kept at work in
stores, and only allowed to go into
the country for vacation, see only the
holiday side of farm life, and acquire
love for it that those brought up on
the farm too often do not share. Why
do not farmers take hint from these
facts, and make as much holiday as
possible for their sons at hOme? 1t is
time that the old rule, which made
the boy hoe his roe and run for water,
while the men rested, was superseded
by practice which would give boys
the easiest tasks, and the little in

The Australian Gold Discoverer.

HarerGves, the Australian gold dis
eoveFer, recently died at good age.
Many efforts have been made since the
famous year 1851 to wrest from Har-
graves the credit of having discovered
gold in the first instance, and much
feeling has been displayed in the matter.
The fact is that gold was first actually
found in New South Wales about sew
enty-fve years ago. which is thirty five
years before Hargraves' time. But one
Important point is always missed in this
connection. Hargrayes went over to
Australia from Frisco in 1s40 to look
for grazing country, and he was struck
with the similarity in the appearance OF
the country to that on tho Pacific Slope.
He took some specimens to Frisco,
made close comparison, and. satisfy
Ing himself, returned to New south
Wales confident that the country held
go d. Then, when he found the pre-
cious metal, he at once went to Sydney
and gave the public the benefit of his
seardhings This is why, and a good
reason why, Hargraves was voted a
bonus of 100000 and given o life pen
sion of Sl,250 a year.-hhiladelphia

not all the difference Creamery

An unruly nul,.

Al UuFuty ttuts
An Illinois man writes TO ask our
advice with regard to an unruly bull,
and also requests us 20 give some
plan by which bulls may be trained
to docility. So far as our CORE
spondents bull Is concerned, we
would saw OF his horns. He says he
is exceedingly dangerous to handle.
We do not think that In such cases
even the sentimental opponents OF
dehorning would object to the "muti-
lation." AT all events the life OF a
human being is OF much more value
than a pair OF horns, and we should
of with them. 1t is true that a
change of management often changes
the temper OF q bull. We have owned
bulls that became ugly because they
are not well treated, and when we
have personally taken charge OF them
we have succeeded by kind and con-
siderate yet firm management in max
ing them quite decent. Yet the fact
must be recognized that when bull be-
comes obstrepcrous he must always
be handled with care, for he is likely
to break out on slight provocation.
In fact there is not excuse for care
lessness in handling any bull The
only method that we know OF to train
bull to docility, is TO treat the ami
NAL kindly but drmly from the be-
ginning, but remembering aid the
time what we have already stated,
that you must be on your guard with
the best of bulls. A bull is good
deal like dog, which viii go along
for years as mild hammered creature
as ever lived, ard then suddenly fall
