The following sensible remarks OF
the management Of young cattle fortht
yoke, were read before the Farmers
Club Of Concord, Mass, by Charles
A. Hubbard -


"I have found that by far the best
time to train steers is when they are
calves-say the first winter. OxeE
that are trained when quite young are
much more pliable and obedient, and
this adds much to 5heir value. Steers
that run until they are three or foul
years old, are dangerous animals to en-
counter They are always running
away with the cart or sled whenevel
there is a chance for them, and otter
serious injury is the result, I would
not recommend working steers hard
while young, as it prevents theil
growth there is a difference between
working them and merely training
them.


i have observed that very little at
tention is paid by our farmers to train
their steers to hack, but as they be-
come able to draw considerable load
forward, they are often numerically
beaten Oh the head and face, because
they viii not back cart OF sled with
as large load as they can draw for
ward, forgetting that much pains has
been taken to teach them to draw for-
ward, but none to teach them to push
backward.


q To remedy the occasion Of tbs
humping, as soon as / have taught
my steers to be handy, as it is called,
and to draw forward, place them on a
cart where the land is little descend
'ng in this situation they will soon
learn to back it. Then I place them
on a level land, and exercise them
there. Then teach them to back a
cart up land that is a. little rising, the
cart having no load in as vet. When
/ have taught them to stand up to the
tongue as they ought, and back an
empty cart, next either put a small
load in the cart, or take them to where
the land rises faster, which answers the
same purpose thus in a few days they
can be taught to back well to know
how to do it, and by little use after
ward they viii never forget


"This may appear Of little conse-
quence to some, but when it is remem-
bered how frequently we want to back
load, when we are at work with our
cattle, and how convenient it is to have
our cattle back well, why should we
not teach them for the time when we
wantthemthus to lay out their rstrength?
Besides it often saves blows and vexa-
tions, which is considerable when one
is in hurry. l never consider pair
of oxen well broke until they will back
with ease any reasonable load, and I
would give very considerable sum
more for yoke Of oxen thus tutored,
than for yoke not thus trained"

STICK TO THE FARM Amid your
plans for the future, never, for one
moment, harbor the idea Of bettering
your condition by entering into the
busy arena of commercial life Do
not exchange home Of quiet, real
enjoyment for the turmoil and illusion
of city residence Barter not sweet
repose for visions Of empty wallets,
or let notes due on the morrow assume
the prerogatives Of the nightmare
Very poor comforts for care and anxi-
ETY. are these little realities in the COM
mercial world. Stick to the farm, =
What though hard labor be the every
day command, it is noble, healthful,
and conducive to full Development OF
the whole man.

A correspondent of the American
Agriculturist says " | wish to des-
cribe to you a method of making fruit
trees bear that / blundered on to-
Some fifteen years ago I had a small
apple tree that leaned considerably; I
drove stake by it, tied a string to
limb and fastened it to the stake. The
next year that limb blossomed full, and
not another blossom appeared on the
tree, and as Tim Bunker said, "it sot
me thinking" and I came to the con-
clusion that the string was SO tight
that it prevented the sap returning to
the roots, consequently, it formed fruit
buds. Having couple of pear trees
that were large enough to bear, but
that had never blossomed, I took a
coarse twine, wound it several times
around the tree above the lower limbs,
and tied it as tight as | could. The
next Spring all the top above the cord
blossomed, as white as sheet, and
there was not one blossom below where
the cord was tied. a neighbor seeing
my trees loaded with pears, used this
method with the same result. I have
since tried the experiment on several
trees, always with the same result. [
have since tried the experiment on sew
eral trees, always with the same result
think it much better way than cut
ting off the roots. In early summer,
say June or July, wind strong twine
several times round the tree, or a sin
gle limb, and tie it, the tighter the bet
ter, and you will be pleased with the
suit; the next Winter or Spring the
cord may be taken off.

CANINE SAGACTY.-We learn from the Worcester
Spy that little of Samuel II. Cotton, who lives
on the outskirts of Worcester, was saved from an
untimely death on Thursday by the sagacity of a
dog. The lad had wandered awav to a nook where
a deep snow-drft remained, into which he wallow-

himself The family dog, which was with him,

THE FALL OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIyEB.-The rate of
descent necessary to produce rapid current in a
river is very slight. fall of ten inches to the
mile is sufficient to obstruct navigation 1t is owing
to the very slight descent in the Mississippi river
that it is navigable to so great an extent We
learn from an article in the Journal of The Geogroph
ico and Statistical Society," that the rate of descent
in that river, below its junction with the Ohio, is
but 26 inches to the mile, and from the mouth of
the Minnesota to the Ohio 5.76 inches The total
fall, from the mouth of the Minnesota to the Gulf


Zl92 miles, is 744 feet at the rate of 4O7 inches
TO the mile. The greatest fall is between the Rock
Island Rapids and the 0hio-64 inches to the mile.

Your readers will inquire what We do
with the dead ? Nhc,c DO we bury
them? There are in the city and its
environs fourteen cemetsies. Some FIVE
of these are in the midst ofthe city, SUR
rounded by closely built and densely
populated streets. Owing to the pc.
cu.iarity Of our soil, these burial places
arc peculiar. We cannot dig more than
two or three feet below the surface with
out coming to water-so that most Of
the dead are buried above ground
These grounds are regularly laid of IN
squares the walks raised and covered
with shells. The squares are built up
with vaults and monuments, many Of
them very splendid and very expensive,
costing thousands of dollars. There are
a great variety Of models and devices,
many Of them ofrare and exquisite beau
ty. Around these tombs are beautiful
evergreens, intermixed with fair and
fragrant flowers, which grow With so
much luxuriance in our rich soil and
sunny cline.

"Great men are not all ways wise" is an
adage that needs no illustration at our hands.
Great men may do very foolish things and
be anything but great outside of their sphere
of eminence. Every politician knows that
the greatest General in the world may write
letters of which school boy should be a.
shamed. And because man be eminent
as statesman, is no reason to rely upon him
as a superior fnancier, or philanthropist.


Yet all great men, whether of the field or
the forum, whether the dispenser of peace
from the pulpit, or mercy to the inmates of
the prison, of whatever grade or sphere,
have had all one Observation-Disclosures
auce. Alexander is among the first names
on the first pages of history. Yet, had he
lived in our day, his appellation would have
been "Alexander the fool" for certainly no
fool of his time was ever more foolish than
he. His whole course of life was an almost
continuous display Of unwise rashness. But
he possessed will, and perseverance that
made him conqueror in all that he under.
