The Site for Farm Bulldlnga,
In times past, ho who entered farm
life expected to be more or less an iso.
lated being. Society had no charms for
him. He was in most respects a world
nnto himself. How to make the most
money out of his laud was the begin- double-trees, and brest-voke, will cost

Horse Versus Ox Labor.
Mr. R. B. Shenard. of Mt. Verhon.
Indiana, thus sums Up the arguments
on this mneh-debated question :
Some hold for the ox, but still more
for the harse. Let us examine the
relative merits of each. A pair of good
larm-norses will cost RiJOO; harness,
dwelling house and farm buildings, it
was therefore a point to get as near the
centre of his plot of ground as possible.
Of course the contour of the surface,
contiguity to water, and other conveni
ences had to have a voice in the deci
sion, but if these voted for the middle
of the tract it wns all the more comfort
ing. Every field required attention,
and the centre of the whole sprtco econ
omized time and space in getting from
part to part of the whole concern.
But times have changed. Agricultu
ral intelligence has advanced more than
would have been dreamed of. a genera
tion ago. The newspaper is now as
much a part of farm life as it is of citv
life, nnd we live as much for mental
pleasure as for the hogs and cattle, and
potatoes and corn which our broad
acres vield.
Social life ns well ns material wealth
is an agricultural want, nnd must be
kept in view in locnting buildings ns
much so as nnv of. the mere conveni
ences before nnmed. Another point is
that there is not now the same necessity
for ns much manual labor on the farm
as formerly. Machinery jiow does most
of the labor, and the mere saving of
manual lnbor hns already been in anion
sure accomplished. Altogether it is
not a matter of serious consequence on
what part of the ground the buildings
are located.
This gives ns much more ehanee to
entertain the social element in farm
life, and there is no reason why in lo
cating buildings the spot chosen might
not be especially in view to its conti
guity to a neighborhood as not. A
dozen farms of a hundred acres or more
each could be so nrranged that the
dwellings might nil be within gunshot
of one another.
Even though there were some disnd
vantages from the labor point of view,
the nearness to eooiety would generally
compensate it. Farmers, ns well as
other classes, have learned that there
are mony ways in which they can co
operate to mutual advantage, nnd this
may just as well be borne in mind when
arranging the farm buildings as not.

liuttcr nt a Fair.
Aii old gentleman who has probably
been present nt every exhibition of the
New York State Agricultural Society
during the post thirty years, remarked
that there never was so full a show of
dairy products ns at the last fair. It is
largely owing to special care in putting
up the packages, and presenting them
in attractive form that many dairymen
vise above mediocrity nnd strike the
tide that bears them on to fortune.
Large stocks of excellent butter come
to market in such greasy guise that its
qualities go unappreciated, while that

or the oxen. Now let us see what it
will cost for keeping each ton years,
or the working life of each. To com
mence, we said, the horses cost 83J0 ;
the interest on the money at six per
cent., for ten years, would be $200 ;
the shoeing would cost $15 a year, or
$1G0 for ten years ; for feed it will take
$150 a yearf or $1,500 for ten years,
amounting in all, for the first cost,
interest, shoeing, nnd feed of horses,
to $'2,045. But let us examine the other
side of the question, or the oxen : One
hundred and sixty dollars for the first
cost ol the oxen : interest at six per
cent., for ten years, amounts to
tho feed will cost two thirds ns much
as tho feed of tho horses, which will bo
$1,000. For tho oxen, the whole amount
of the cost.interest, nnd foed, is 9,1,250,
agninst $'2,0(5 on tho horses' aide. Be
sides this the oxen are constantly in
creasing in value, until they nre twelve
years of nge. On the other hand the
lorses are decreasing from the time they
are eight years old. A yoke of oxen at
twelve years old are worth two-thirds
of their working Value for I eef ; but
what is a pair of stiff, worn-out, and
broken-down horses worth ? Scarcely

A Day at Home.
Once in a while there is a day in Dan-
bury when a man is out of work, and he
stays at home. Alter oreaKiast is eaten
and tho dishes are removed, he pulls
out the family drawer, and dumps tho
contents on the table, to look for a pa
per of suddenly acquired importance.
Having got a chair which has lost a leg,
and for that reason has been set aside
where nobody will be apt to get into
trouble with it, he drops into it, and it
immediately comes apart, and deposits
him under the table. He jumps to his
foct at once, nnd kicks the chair into
the hall-way to the imminent danger of
his wire, aud tho woman who lives in
tho other pnrt of tho house, both of
whom being under the impression that
one of the children had fallen from the
mnntel-piece, and broken its back, have
started to tho rescue. He immediately
nks his wife what kind of an idiot she
is to leave a broken chair where anyone
can sit down on it and jeopardize life
and limb, nnd sarcastically inquires if
she wanted to kill him, or merely crip
pie him for life, and scouts with scorn
indescribablo the intimation that the

would ever think of looking lor one,
After that he eots a new chair which he
is confident will throw him and hurt
him, and soys so, and pores over the

Tretty soon he is attended by one of
the children who is making herculean

How to Clean Plrtnre.
A new process of cleaning pictures
has recently been discovered. The
great difficulty has always been to get
off the old varnish, which, by length of
time has become almost incorporated
with the color underneath, so that any
method employed to remove the upper
surface is pretty certain to carry off with
ture-dealers use corrosive substances,
which make tho matter worse. An in
genions system has been discovered at
Amsterdam, which consists in simply
spreading a coating of copaiba balsam
on the oil painting and then keeping )
face downward over a dish of the same
size filled with cold alcohol at an alti
tude of about three fact. The vapors
of the liquid impart ' to the copaiba a
degree of semi-fluidity, in which state
it easily amalgamates with the varnish
it covers. Thus the original brilliancy
and transparency are regained without
injuring the oil painting; and when the
picture is hung up in its place again,
two or three days after, it looks as if it
had been varnished afresh. The in
ventors have given the public the bene
fit of their discovery. The process has
the merit of being a short one as com
pared with the old methods.
Balky Morse.
Balking is a serious defect in a very
useful animal, and it cannot be over
- como by whipping or swearing at him.
His brain does not seem capable of en
tertaining but one thought at a time,
and the stubborn resolve not to move
seems to bo uppermost in it. There
fore you must endeavor to give him
a new subject of thought, and by
so doing change the direction of his
brain.
The simple trick of putting a small
quantity of earth or gravel, taken from
the road-side, upon his tongue, will
suffice to turn his attention to the new
kind of fodder offered him. Now cluck
to him, but don't strike him, and al
most before he is aware of it hois walk

If vou will let cattle rest during the
heat of the day, bring them out in the
morning, when it is cool, work them
until 10 o'clock, and let them rest until
the heat goes off, and take them out
again say at 2 o'clock, they will do good
work. Another objection against oxen
is the slowness with which they move.
Some cattle are unusually slow, it is
true, but this is owing to the way they
were broken. They are made to carry
a heavy yoke, (fit only for old and full-
grown oxen,) and hitched up to a heavy
cart when too young by boys that know
nothing about breaking oxen, uattie
that are properly broken and made to
step quick, are nearly as fast as horses,

How to Act.
In tho rare case of witnessing an in
dividual whose clothing w on fire, it is
well to know just how to act. that by
promptitude and presence of mind the
sufferer may be saved from a terrible
death. Make no outcry, if you can
avoid it. but seize a blanket or any
woolen fabric if none is at hand take
any woolen material hold tho oorners
as far apart as you can, stretch them
out higher than your head, and running
boldly to the person, mane a motion oi
clasping in tho arms, mostly about tho
shoulders. This instantly smowers uio
fire and saves tho face. The next in
stant throw tho person on the floor.
This is an additional safety to the face
and breath, and any remnant of flame
can be put out more quickly. The next
instant immerse tne Durnt part in com
water, and all pain will cease at once
with the rapidity of lightning. Next
iret some flour, remove from the water.
and cover the burnt parts with an inch
in thickness of flour; if possible, put
the patient in bed, and do all that is
nossible to soothe until tho physician
arrives. Let the flour remain until it
falls off itself, when a beautiful new
skin can be found. Unless the burns
urn deep, no other applications are
needed. Tho dry flour lor burns is tho
most reliable remedy ever proposed.and
the information ought to be imparted
to all.
. A Hat's Lore for a Child.
There is in Whitehall village, says
the Times, a family wlfo have a little
daughter, two years and a half old, who
has formed a singular attachment for a
rat. Everyday this little one goes into
the wood-shed adjoining the house,
where a large, venerable-looking rat
makes its appearance, when the inno
cent looking child proceeds to feed it
from her chubby hand. The parents
have caught their little one feeding its
protege several times of late, yet on
the approach or any other than the lit
tle girl the rat scampers off to its hole.
Several efforts have been made by the
child's parents to dispatch the singular
companion of their darling, for it was
feared that the child may get bitten oy
it. Last Sunday the rat showed its
affection and guardian care of the little
one's comfort, as the following will
show: The child's mother put it to
sleep in the cradle in the kitchen, going
to another toom in the house, leaving
the sleeping child alone. She was
gone some time. On her return she
cast her eye at the child, when she was
surprised to observe the rat standing
perched upon the top of the cradle,
, ii.. i i ii
moving lis lau over mo nine Bieeper.
The mother, wishing ts see what the
varmint was np to, stood and watch
ed its movements, deeping through the
door, which was only partly opened.
She observed a number of flies above
the child's face, when two lit on the lit
tle one, whereat the kind rat whisked
them off with its tail. Wishing to make
sure, the lady quietly called her hus
band, and the two stood watching the
proceedings for at least ten minutes.
Every time a fly dared to alight on the
little one's face that old rat's friendly
tail would brush it away, like the guar
dian angel hovering about us, who, we
believe, is constantly brushing away
dangers that threaten us poor mortals.
It was thought safe by the child's pa
rents to leave the child in charge of its
singular nurse, and for one hour the lit
tle one slept. When it awoke its mo
ther went to take it up, and the rat
jumped from the cradle and sped away
through the half-opened door to the
wood-shed. Since that time the child
has been put in the kitchen to ascer
tain if the experiment would bo repeat
ed. Each time, when left alone, with
the shed door partially open, the rat
would enter and take up its position
over tho top of tho cradle, watching
the little sleeper, and brushing away
the flies who dared to disturb its preci
ous charge

Handling the Reins.
The Modoc Idea of the Creation.
Jonquin Miller, in his "Life Among
the Moilocs," gives the following idea
of the creation of the world as that en
tertained by the Modocs : " The Great
Spirit made Mount Shasta first of all.
He pushed down snow and ice from the
sky through a hole which he made in
the blue heavens by turning a stone
round and round, till he made this
great mountain ; then he stepped out
of the clouds on to the mountain top,
and descended and planted the trees all
around by putting lus ringer on tne
ground. The sun melted the snow, and
the water ran down ana nurtured tne
trees and made the rivers. After that
he made the fish for the rivers out of
the small end of his staff. He made
the birds by blowing some leaves which
he took up from the ground among the
trees. After that he made the beasts
out of the remainder of his stick, but
he made the grizzly bear out of the big
end, and made him master over all
others. Having done that, the Ureal
Spirit converted Mount Shasta into a
wigwam, and its volcanio eruptions are
the outcome ol the nre that he ugnts in
the centre of the mountain. Tii'e de
velopment of . man was a later occur
rence. The daughter el the ureut
Spirit ventured too far, got astray, and
fell into the power of the erizzly bears,
and she was forced to marry one of
them, and the red men were the fruit of
the marriage. These red men were
taken under the protection ot the Great
Spirit ; but the grizzlies were punished
by being compelled to walk on four
feet, whereas before they had walked
on two. To this day the grizzly bear
is sever slain by the red men, who
recognize him as a tort of kinsman."
Most drivers overdrive, says Mr. Mur
ray, in his book called " The Perfect
Horse." They attempt too much, and,
in so doing, distract or hamper the
horse. Now and then you find a horse
with such a vicious gait that his speed
is got from him by the most artificial
pro'cess; but such horses are fortunate
ly rare, and hence the style of manage
ment required cannot become general.
The true way is to let the horse drive
himself, the driver doing little but di
recting him, and giving him that confi
dence which a horse alone gets .in Him
self when he feels thnt a guide and
friend is bnek of him.
The most vicious and inexcusable
style of driving is thnt which so many
drivers adopt, viz., wrapping the lines
around either hand, and pulling the
horse backwards with all their might
and main, so that the horse, in point of
fact, pulls the weight back of him with
his mouth, and not with his breastand
shoulders. This they do under the im
pression that such a dead pull is needed
in order to steady " the horse. This
method of driving ! regard as radically
and superlntivelv wrong. It would tax
the ingenuity of a hundred fools to in
vent a worse one. The fact is, with rare
exceptions, there 6hould never be any
pull upon the horse at all. A steady
pressure is allowable, probably advisa
ble; but anything beyond this has no
justification in nature or reason; for
nature suggests ne utmost, possime
freedom of action and head, body and
limbs, in order that the animal may at
tain the higheet rate of speed; and
reason certainly forbids the supposition
that by bits, and not by the breast col
lar, the hoise is to draw the weight at
tached to it.
In speeding my horses, I very seldom
grasp the lines with. both hands when
the road is straight and free from ob
structions. The lines are rarely stead
ily taut, but held irl fiasy pliancy, and
used chiefly to shift the bit in the ani
mal's mouth, and by this motion com
municate courage and confidence to
him. I find that, by this method, my
horses break less, and go much faster,
than when driwn by men who put the
old-fashioned steady pull upon theia.

Ladies traveling through Canada by
rail are often greatly annoyed by hav
ing their luggage nnnecessarilj nearch
ed, but one of the officials recently got
his deserts. It happened that a Yankee
school-teacher, on her way from Kansas
to Vermont, passed through the Domin
ion, with a trunk packed to bursting
with nothing contrabantl. Wlien tne
officer demanded her key she begged
him not to open it, assuring him thut
it had come through from Kansas, con
tained simply clothes and books, and
was so full tuat it wouia ue very irouoie
some to repack it. But he sternly de
manded the key, and mal'iiously pulled
everything out to the very bottom ;
then finding her assertions true he
returned the key and advised her to
"hurry up and get the traps back," as
the train would soon move. " AVhat is
that to me?" said the quick-witted
woman ; " I have a check for that trunk,
and hold the Grand Trunk Railway re-
sponsible for its safe delivery. I will
not Jake the key, and you may do as you
please with the trunk." Report says
that official was very weary and red in
the face and rather profane ere he
finished packing that trunk.
