FARM• AND HOUSEHOLD-
3C I•Drlving Oxen.
I never had any trouble driving oxen,
though I knew a man who'd as soon try
to drive lions, as to pick up the whip,and
nudertake to "hail Bock," and "gee
Btight."
Always commence right with oxen.
They don't appear tender hearted, and
don't seem to the casual observer to be
longing for sympathy, but oxen have
feeling which must be consulted. If you
want to yoke up your oxen, take the yoke
on Tour shoulder and gently approach the
atarboard oz. if he moves away, throw
ing his heels in the air, turn about and
approach the other, for iu the long run it
doesn't make a cent's worth of difference
hielrox is yoked up first, though there
are asp who always pull on the left boot
first, and would persist in it if the house
was on fire.
If the larboad ox rune away, don't
throw the yoke at him, and jump up an d
howl. You can't throw the yoke over
twenty rods at the most, and the chances
are you wont hit him. Take the yoke on
your back and saunter across the pasture
towards the first or. Approach him us if
you didn't care a cent whether you got
the yoke on him or not. Let your face
wear a smile, and whistle some careless
air. If he shows a disposition to run a
way. don't go to howling :
"Whoa there—hold on —l'il kill you—
blast your eyes—hold on :"
Keep up your indifferent demeanor and
hi about one hour and a half you can put
your hand on the ox. Rub his back and
speak encouraging words ro him, pod let
him see that you are his true friend. In
a littlertime you can put the yoke on him,
and then start off after the other ox on
the far side of the field. If lie makes a
bolt for the barn, preserve your careless
air,and above all, don't pound the ox you
Lave already secured. By persistent ex
ercise-of patience, you can get the pair
yoked up and ready for business by ten
o'clock, if you commenced early enough.
Don't chain em to a stump and maul 'em
with a rail after you have them in your
power; seek to conquer them by love
rather than force,
Few farmers know how to draw out
the full strength of a 1 air of oxen on a
dead pull. They set the team off with a
poll, kick one, pound the other scream at
both, jump over the log and hoop„and the
result is that the bovines jerkletd jump
and waist their strength. The right way
is to send them off gentle. Preterid that
you are unhitching the chain to go home,
and you don't know how much this will
encourage them. When the chain is sant,
and the oxen are ready to pull give them
a kind word, tell them their motto should
be "Excelsior," and that England expects
every man to do his duty. 800 throw
rocks at them.
An experience of foi tv odd years has
convinced me that nothing will discour
age an ox so quick as to hurl a stone
quarry at him when he is doing his level
best to accomodate you.
{{ln driving oxen before a wagon, do not
cam a bean pole with a brad-awl fasten
ed into the end.
The ox ie not as swift on foot as the
antalope or gazelle, and they shouldn't
be galloped ovor ten miles without a rest.
There is nothing so good to rule the
brute creation as kindness. The true
farmer will, if necessary, sit up all nignt
with a pair of wild oxen, giving them
kind advice explaining matters, and rub
bing their spinal columns with a cob to
bring out their gentle natures and win
their confidence and osteem.
Illanaglag Small Fruits
If the currents are more than a year
old, cut the tops all off close to the
roots. With grapes, if the top is of the
previous year's growth, and has bads
near the roots, leave one cr two. If not
of last year's growth, cut it all away.—
The top of raspberries should be all re
moved. Then, when the roots gets their
machinery at work, they will send up
canes that will fruit well the next season.
But if the top is left on it will require all
the energy of the roots to support it, and
if the plants does not die the first winter
it will be feeble and sickly the next sum
mer, an er along year after year un
til p condemns the variety and
throws them away in disgust. Last
spring I filled au order for raspberries,
and before seeding them I cut the tops
back to two feet, and came near having
them returned for doing so. I told the
dealer that they should be all cut off
when planted out. He said he knew that
very well, but his customers did not;
they would hare plants that would bear
the first year, and it was the top that sold
them, Lot the roots. But my advice is,
see that you get good roots without any
regard to tops.
Dogs and Balky glories.
-0-
A correspondentatends the following:
"Having read sundry canine sketches
which were very entertaining.' thought I
would send on?. which, strange as it may
seem, is no fiction: A farmer in Indana
had a large dog, well stricken in years,
which would not permit his master to
chastise a baulky horse or ox without his
active aid. The farmer owned three of
the former aid two of the latter, which
this dog had cured of their vices by bit
ing their heels. The simplicity of .the
remed'y was apparent to me at a glance,
for whoever knew horses or cattle that
ever failed to run from a dog that bit
them in the rear? Since learning. the
above, I have had two opportunities of
testing the dog logic of whipping balky
animals, near or on the rear fetlock joint
which, to my surprise, was-quite success
ful"
To Make Hard Soap.
—o--
Pour four ge.llons of Boiling water on
six pounds of washing soda (sal-soda)
.and three pounds of nuslacked lime,
Stir the mixture well, and let it settle
_ until it Is perfectly clear. It is better to
/et it stand over night, as it takes some
„time for the sediment to settle. When
Mear,strain the water, put six pounds of
lot with it, and boil for two hours, stiring
it most of the time. If it does not seem
thin enough, put another gallon of water
on the grounds, stir and draw off, and
.add as much as is wanted to the boiling
mixture. Its thickness can be tried by
occasionally putting a little on a plate
-to cool. Stir In a handful of salt just
before taking it off the fire. Have a tub
„ready soaked, to prevent the soap from
sticking; pour it in and let it settle until
solid, when you will have from the a
buse ingrAience 11.13cnt 40 pounds of
HUMOROUS'
The Boa Constrictor.
.
Here is the speech that Mr. Barnum is
supposed to have made when he Brat went
ito the showman's business, and was ex
aibitang the Boa Constrictor. It is wor
thy of the distinguished showman :
"John, undo his tail. There, ladies and
gentlemen,is the wonderful boy construc
tor, so called because he constructs many
pleasing images with his serpentile form.
The constructor is a long animal, as you
will perceive, and is very long lived. He
lives a hundred years or more, if he don't
die beforehand. He is of the wormy
species, and worms himself along the
ground without legs. He is capable of
climbing the highest trees, in which he
is fond of concealing himself in the
branches thereof, that he may impose up-
On the benighted traveler or other beasts,
whereby to assatiate his hunger. He
mashes his vittles before he eats 'em, and
and then swallows 'em head first. The
sea-serpant is much larger, yet 1 think
the boy constructor could lick him; for
lie is full of pluck. Prick h im, John, and
make him hiss. When he hisses he is
very angry, and cares very little what be
comes of him. This is because he is
weak-minded, and has a small head. He
has, however, a very large belly,and when
it is lull, he is good . natured. He has a
lovely skin, but is very ugly tempered.—
He is very sulky and lazy, rnd he is so
spiteful, it is a mercy he can't talk. I
have took care of this mighty snake for
three years, but he shows no gratitude.—
lie is a glutton and likes to stuff himself,
and then go to sleep. If John data stir
him, (stir him again, John!) he would
never wake np, except to his victuals. I
don't know's I ought to blame him
though ; because nature is natnre,wheth
er iu Boston or the rude valleys of Ben
gal. I have an uncle who has lived in
.Bengal, and a brother who has never been
there. 31v uncle tells me he has seen ten
thousand toy constructors at one time, a
frolicking in the forest, and eating each
other up. My brother does not believe
it, but then he has not seen it. My un
cle may be depended upon. He was a
ship-captain once, and sold rum and su
gar to the Injuns. He is the only man
in the world who ever sold liquor to the
boy constructor. This is the one he gave
it to. He first got him tight, and then
boxed him up. The boy will never forgive
him."
An Old lady Astonished.
——o—
Mr. 8., a well known Metropolitan
printer, mentions that on one occasion an
old woman from the country came into
th< printing office with an old Bible in
her hand.
"I want," said she, "that you should
print it over again. It's getting a little
blurred,sort of, and my eyes is not what
they was. How much do you az ?"
"Fifty cents."
"Can you have it done in half an hour?
Wish you would—want to be getting
home. I live a good way out of town."
When the old lady went out, he sent
around to the office of the American
Ibln Bocsrtj and purchased a copy for
fifty cents.
"Lor sakes a massar exclaimed the old
lady when she came to look at it, "bow
good you have fixed it! I never see noth
ing so curious as you printers is."
Yon Wants to be Married
—o—
A good story is told of an old Dutch
farmer, who has just arrived at the dig
nity of Justice of the Peace,ondertook to
niarry a couple who came to him for the
purpose.
"Veil you loves din woman as goot as
any you ever see ?"
"Yes," answered the man.
"Then to the woman.—
"Veil do you love this man as better as
no man you never see ?"
LMy hesitated, and he repeated.—
"Veil, veil, do you likes him as well as to
be his wife r
"0, certainly,' she answered, with a
kind of titter.
"Pell, that is all any reasonable man
can expect So you are mariet. I pro
nounce you man and wife."
The man then asked the Justice what
was to-pay.
"0 nothing at all—nothing at all—
yon welcome to it if it will do you any
good."
An Evansville man has proved himself
a satirist, though probably at the time
he uttered the words which have since
made him famous he was nnconcious of
the stirring sarcasm contained in the few
syllables referring to a prominent feature
of American life. He had fallen into a
ditch in the outskirts of the town in such
a manner that he was unable to extricate
himself. A kind-hearted pedestrian helped
him to his feet, and after the thing had
been acomplished, our hero said :
right—hic—l'll vote for you?' The stran
ger looked at him doubtfully, and wished
to know what for. "Wha office ye run
nio' for ?" "I ?" None at all," was the
answer. ;Not a candidate ?.' "No ; why?'
"Why—hie—why ? 'Cease I don't know
as any man'd —hie—help another as you
did 'thout hemp' a candidate :"
At a recent convention of clergy was
proposed, afterflinner, that each should
in turn entertain the company with some
interesting remarks. Amocg the rest, one
drew upon his fancyand related a dream.
—ln Ins dream he went to heaven, and
described the golden streets, dc.
As he
concluded, one of the divines, who was
somekshat noted for his penurious habits,
inquired,jocosely:
"Well, 'did you see anything of me in
your dream ?"
"Yes I did."
"indeed what was I doing ?"
"You were on your knees."
"Praying, was I ?,'
"No—aeraping up gold !"
Jack's Bet.

A Georgia negro was riding a mule
along and came to a bridge, when the
mule stopped. "I'll bet you a quarter,"
mid Jack, "I'll make you go ober die
bridge," and with that struck the mule
over the bead, which made him nod gad
denly. "You take de bet den," said the
negro, and contrived to get the stubborn
mule over the bridge. "I won dat quar
ter anyhow," said Jack.
"But how will you get the money ?"
asked a man who had been close by, un
perceived.
"To-morrow," said Jack, "mans gib
me a dollar to get corn for the mule, and
I take a quarter out,"

A warren letter to the Eric Dispatch
contains the following : "A youthful
couple changed from the P. and E. to
the D. A. V. and P. care at Irsineton,
Thursday, whose ages were 206 years.
These juveniles were married 75 years
ago. The wife could not walk without
the aid of two persons, but the husband.
although two years the oldest, con ld

Fifteen thousand tickets for negro em•
igrants hare recently been taken on the

Mongomery, Ala. The african is that
locality is a color somewhat inclined to

A certain farmer, having company at
dinner, was ambitious to make it appear
that he was somebody. Addressing his
boy, he said : 'Have you• driven those
sheep in ?"Yes, sir.' Are you sure you
drove them all in ?"Yes sir ; I saw him
over the bars.' He<bad but one.
Conundrum—Said a boy : ,‘That chap
yonder is my brother, and this girl is his
sister, yet she is no relation of mine."
Answer—the boy lied.

Iron in the Blood
MAKES THE WEAK STRONG,
The Peruvian Syrup, a Protect
ed Solution of the P rotoxide of
Iron, is so combined as to have
the character of an ailment, as
easily digested and assimilated
with the blood as the simplest
food. It increases the quantity
of Nature's Own Vitalizing
Agent, Iron in the bloo d, and
cures "a thousand ins,' simply
by Toning up,lnvigorating and
Vitalizing the System. The en
riched and vitalized blood per
meates every part of the body,
repairing damages and waste,
searching out morbid secre
tions, and ledgping nothing for
disease to feed upon.
This is the secret of the won
derful success of this remedy in
curing Dyspepsia, Liver Com
plaint, Dropsy, Chronic Mar
riima, Boils, Nervous Affections,
Chills and Fevers, Rumors,
Loss of Constitutional Vigor,
Diseases of the Kidneys and
Bladder, Female Complaints,
and all diseases originating in
avliad state of the b lo od, or ac
companied by debility or a low
state of the system. Being free
from Alcohol, in any form, its
energizing effects are not fol
lowed by corresponding reac
tion, but arc permanent, infu
sing strength, vigor, and new
life into all parts of the system,
and building up an Iron Con
stitution.
Thousands have been changed
by the use of this remedy, from
weak, sickly, suffering crea
tures, to strong, healthy, and
happy men and women; and
invalids cannot reasonably hes
itate to give it a trial.

stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
decayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu
lated into activity, so that a new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, and
consequently prevent baldness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma
tion of dandruff, which is often so un
cleanly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerournilid inju
rious to the hair, the Vigni can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for a HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Ccmtlining neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambric, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it a rich, glossy
lustre, and a grateful perfume.
