Hew to Keep Harness in Order.
In answer tr> an inquiry for information as
to the best mode of cleaning and oiling harness,
we re-publish tlie substance of an article
given in the Rural Xev Yorker :
Observing tin* good condition and fine appear
ance of the harness of Aid. Raker, proprietor
of the most extensive livery establishments in
Rochester, we requested him to impart to us.
for publication, the modus r.pcrnndi by which so
desirable an object was achieved. In compli
ance therewith, he stated the course adopted
as the best and most economical, after twenty
years experience in a business which required
considerable attention to tackling apparatus.
His process of oiling and washing harness is
substantially as follows :
Take neats foot oil and ivory or patent black
—the latter well pulverized, or to be made so
before using. Mix thoroughly, adding the
Mack until the oil is well colored or quite black.
In cool weather the oil should he warmed
somewhat before mixing. With a sponge apply
a light coat of the mixture—only what the
leather will readily absorb, unless the harness
is very dry, in which case a heavier coating
may be necessary. After the harness is dry—
which will be in from two hours to half or a
whole day, depending upon the weather and
previous conditions of the leather—wash i
thoroughly with soap suds. In making the!
suds use good Castile soup and cold rain-water.
Warm water should never be used on harness
leather. Apply the suds with a sponge. Rub
off with buckskin. This will give your harness
a nice, glossy surface, and the leather will
retain 11 good color and continue paliable for
months. If it becomes solid with 111111 or i
sweat, an application of soap and water as
above directed (without oiling) will be sufficient j
to give it a bright appearance.
Two applications of this oil and black
mixture a year, (or once every six months) will
be sufficient to keep harness, as ordinarily used,
in good order. It may be necessary for livery
men, and others who use harness constantly, to
apply the oil oftener—but in most cases, two
oilings a year and washing with suds when
soiled, will keep a harness in good trim for
sight and service. This process will pay a large
dividend in extra service and durability—to say
nothing of improved appearance.
Aid. I. assures us that the same, or a verv
similar application, is just the thing for carriage
tops which are made of hp leather. The only
difference in treatment is, that less oil should
be used or rather a light coating applied—and
it should he washed off Lefore. drying in, top
leather being thin and much more penetrable
than harness. Of course this mixture would
not answer for enamelled leather, of which some
carriage tops are constructed.
Kicking Cows.
Hear what an old man, who lias spent his |
whole life and grow n gray upon a farm, says
about kicking cows :
In most cases the habit of kicking is contract- j
cd during the first mouth after she lias had her i
first calf. If, as it is often the case with well
fed heifers, the udder is a little feverish at the
time, ami it often becomes so sore that it is
impossible for the poor creature to stand stiil j
while the necessary milking is done. Follow-:
ing the instinct of nature, she kicks ; and find-j
ing she is thus freed from pain continues to •
do so till the anger of the 11.ilk is aroused,
and then a bad matter is made much worse.
It is better in the first place to tic the heifer
by the head, then set your left shoulder gently '
but firmly against her, just back of her right j
shoulder, grasp firmly her fore leg below the
knee, turning her foot up backward till it
touches the leg, then slip 0:1 over the i
knees a stay, or hoop, or cork that will con- !
fine it fast in that positiou. While standing i
on three legs she will find it difficult to kick so
as to hurt you. Now take a convenient sized
cloth, and wet and wash the udder thoroughly
with tepid or cold water, after which milk her
as carefully and tenderly as possible, using at
the same time such gentle and soothing language
as is calculated to show her that you do not
wish to hurt her—but let her struggles be ever
so violent or provoking, mind you keep control
of your own temper. An outbreak on your
part will as certainly be productive of a bad
effect upon tiic cow, as ati echo will answer
your own voice, or as your image will be
reflected in a mirror. Kindness combined with
the perfect control you have over her in this
situation, I consider much the best way of
breaking them ; and after a few times she"will
lift her foot to be tied as readily as a horse
will to be shod. Continue to milk her in this
way until the soreness is gone, and she will find
it a gratification to be milked, will often meet
you as she sees you coming with the pail, and
you will ever after find it easier to get along
with her should her teats by chance get sore
afterwards.— Life lUustrated.
REAL NEW ENGLAND BROWN BRF.AD. —Take
equal proportions of sifted rye and Indian meal,
mix them well together ; add half ateacupful
of molasses, and two gills of good yeast to
about three quarts of mixed meal. Wet this
with a good, new milk, sufficient to make a
dough than can easily be worked, even with
one hand. For economy's sake, milk that has
stood twelve hours, and from which the cream
has been taken, may be substituted for the uew
milk, or water which has been pressed from
from boiled squash, or in which squash has
been boiled, is a substitute much better than
pure water. But warm water is tnore commonly
used. The ingredients should be thoroughly
mixed, and stand, in cold weather, for twelve
hours ; in warm weather two hours may be
sufficient before baking.
If baked in a brick oven, a three-qnart loaf
should stand in the oven all night. The same
quantity in three baking-pans will bake in
about three hours.
Serve this warm from the oven, with good,
sweet butter, and we could feist upon it every
morning for breakfast, from January to Ucc.
CATERPILLARS AND CANKER WORMS. —These
pests of the farmer seem to be even more
numerous this year than ever before. The
canker worms seem to be gradually working
from the coast to the interior. As far as seven
or eight miles out, the trees attacked by them
appear as if exposed to a powerful fire. As
to caterpillars, they swarm in every direction,
not only upon trees, but upon bashes, fences
and even in dwelling-houses- This great
increase is 110 doubt in part owing to the killing
ofl of the birds for amusement merely, the new
law on that subject not beiug in auy instance
enforced.
iiie canker worms, however, after doing an
immense amount of damage are beginniii"- to
come dowu from the trees, and will it is hoped,
>o on disappear

HELMBOLD'S GENUINE PREPARA
TIONS.
Uelmltold's Highly Concentrated Fluid Extract Hiirhu.
for Disease of the Bladder and Kidneys, Secret Diseases,
Strictures, Weaknesses, and all Diseases of the Sexual
Organs, whether in Male or Female, from whatever cause
they may have originated, and no matter ot how long
standing.
If you have contracted the terrible disease, which when
once seated in the system, will surely go down from one
generation to another, undermining the constitution, and
sapping the very vital fluids of life, do not trust yourseli
in the hands of Quacks, who start up every day in a city
like this, and till ths papers with glaring falsehoods too
well calculated to deceive the young and those not ac
quainted with their tricks. You cannot he too careiul in
the selection of a remedy in these cases.
The fluid extract Bucbu has been pronounced by emi
nent Physicians
THk GREATEST REMEDY EVER KNOWN*.
It is u medicine perfectly pleasant in its taste, and very
innocent in its action, and yet so thorough that it annihi
lates every particle of the rank and poisonous virus of thi
disease; and, unlike other remedies, it does not dry up
the disease ID the blood.
Constitutional Debility, brought on by self-abuse, a most
terrible disease, which lias brought thousand- of the hu
man race to untimely graves, thus blasting the brilliant
hopes of parents, and [flighting in the bud the glorious
ambition of many a noble vonth, can be cured by this
INFALLIBLE REMEDY.
And as a medicine which must benefit everybody from the
simr.lv delicate to the confined and despairing invalid, no
equal "is to be found, acting both as a cure and preventive.
IIEMBOLD'S HIGHLY CONCENTRATED
Compound Fluid Extract Sarsapa rill a.
For purifying the l.lood, removing all disea-es arising
from excess of Mercury, exposure and imprudence in
life, chronic constitutional disease, arising from an im
pure state of the blood, and the only reliable and eflect
ual remedy known for the cure of Scrofula. Salt Rheum,
Scald Head, Ulcerations of the Throat and Legs. Pains
and Swellings of the Bones, Tetter, Pimples on the lace
and all Scaly Eruptions of the Skin.
This article is now prc-cribed by some of the most dis
tinguished Physicians in the Country, and has proved
more efficient in practice than any preparation of Sarsu
nnrilhi yet oflbri dto the public. Several cases of secon
dary Syphilic, Mercurial and Scrofulous diseases have en
tirely recovered in the incurable wards of our public insti
tutions. which had for many years resisted every mode ol
treatment that could be devised. These cases furnish
striking examples of the salutary effects of this medicine
in arresting sonic of the most inveterate diseases, after the
glands were destroyed and the bones already affected.
NOTlCE. —Letters from responsible Physicians and Pro
fessors of several Medical colleges, and certificates of cure
from patients will be found accompanying both prepara
tions.

discovery of the FOREST WINK is the greatest Mes
sing of the age. Put up in < t >iirt 15 ittles. a single i>ottle
of which docs more good, and g- os further in the cure of
Disease, than ton hottics of any Sar-apariila in use. and
warranted to cure without an unpleasant or weakening
elTret.
The method by which all Sars-aparillas. and other simi
lar medicines are prejmn d.isbv !.• linglhe Root- of plants
to obtain the extract-. Their n:oi':'. i mil virtues are thus
principally evaporated aud dc-!i ycd.
It is not to lie wondered at lie n, t'-.at 10 and oven 20
lottlcs of these Sar-aparillas are - a -lime- 1 .ken without
any jiereeptihle benefit. Not - • witii the Forest Wine.-
By the invention of a wonderful ehemi. al apparatus, a per
fect wine is produced without heating : retaining, at the
same time, all the primitive healing properties of the rare
medicinal plants of which it is composed, thus rendering
the Forest Wine the most efficient medii inethew n-hi ever
produced, at the same time time the most agreeable.
TESTIMONY.
This is to certify, that 1 have used Dr. Halsev's Fore-t
Wine in my family with the most entire success. My wife
was badly afflicted with Neuralgia, affections of the Spine
and Kidneys, and general Debility. She found speedy re
lief, and regained her health by the use of the Forest
Wine.
From my own knowledge of this excellent medicine. I
confidently recommend it lor the good of others who may
he suffering from similar complaints. It is the best medi
cine with which I am acquainted, and those wln> are afflic
ted with the above, or any similar ili-eise. mnv '-airly re
ly on its virtues. K. G. MTSSEY.
MORE TESTIMONY FROM ( OHUES.
Pit. G. W. IIALSKY— Dear Sir : Sly wife last autumn was
reduced to a low state of Debility. My family phvsician
advised her to take your Fore-t Wine. Accordingly 1
went to Mr. Terry's, your agent in this town, and procur
ed a bottle of it, which re.-t red her in a very shoit time
to perfect health.

DREADFUL COUGH. DEBILITY, AND LOSS OF
APPETITE.
DR. HAI.-EV: Hempstead. Dec. 1,1>47.
A bottle of your Forest Wine and box of Pills, which
1 procured of James Carr. (your agent for this place,) has
done wonders for me. 1 had been in a state of decline for
more than a year, afflicted with a dreadful cough, pain
in the breast, general debility, and loss of appetite, i be
came almost a skeleton, and had been unable to leave my
room for more than two months: my friends t.dil me I
had the Consumption and despaired*of my reeoveay. 1
could not obtain any permanent relief from any medicine
i had taken, or mv physician, until vour Wine and Pills
were procured. Tne tirst dose of the Pills brought up from
my stomach, much phlent and greenish matter, and my
stools were perfectly black. 1 then commenced taking
your Forest Wine three times a day, my appetite began to
return immediately, my cougli left me. and in less than
two weeks I was almost well. I now enjoy better health
than I ever did before, having increased twentv-five pounds
in seven weeks. Your Forest \\ ine and Pills are highly
valued in this vicinity, and I owe my recovery entirely to
their virtues. ' Yours, respectfully,
MARTIN CALDWELL.

Dr. G. W. IIALSKY : New-York, March 12,1953.
Dear Sir—ln the summer and fall of last year i had a
severe complaint of the Kidneys, which rendered me quite
unfit for business. 1 procured your Forest Wine and Pills
which cured me in a few wech-i time, and 1 have since en
joyed better health than I had for manv vears previously.
From their efficacy iu my o.wn case.and from what 1 know
your medicines to have done for others. I am induced to
recommend them as the best medicines with which 1 am
acquainted. Yours, respectfully,
"T. J GILLIES.
