Making a Pow Give Down.
. .To persuade a cow to give down her
milk against her will is a difficult and
somewhat hopeless task. A plan that
has been highly spoken of is to lay a
heavy chain across her back while milk-
ing her. It is very certain that harsh-
ness andimpatience will only make mat-
ters worse,and thatkindness and petting
will have the best effect. The use of
milking tubes might be effective. A poor
cow, free from this vice, is better than
the best cow that is afi ieted with it.—

Breaking Colts.
The beat time for breaking colts is at
the age of two or three years, as you will
find that they are less inclined to have a
will of their own ; but a horse of this age
should never be allowed to do much hard
labor. Colts that are intended to be put
to work should be stabled during the
months of February and March, with an
occasional drive of several miles. " This
will be an excellent way to break them,
and at the same time toughen them for
spring work. Colts require a more frequent
change of diet than older horses. When
new grass is plentiful they should have
an occasional pull at it. At the time of
stabling they should be allowed; two or
three mashes of bran followed by some
condition powder. For the same reason
that the young colt should' be allowed
the milk of the[ darn directly after par-
turition, older 'colts should have their
'condition powders—they will carry off
gross humors and purify the blood. Next
it is necessary to have a collar that will
fit, for a great many colts have to
work in too large a collar. — Western

Farm Fashions.
One who signs himself " An Old Far-
mer," writes as follows :
DEAR SIR yI wish you would give
our farmers' sops and daughters a little
touch with your pen on the folly of aping
the fashions of city folks. Many farmers
are taking city boarders and the result is
that the whole style of farm living is
changed, and the expenses of the family
have doubled, and in some cases quadru-
pled, within the last '25 years. Our
houses are being furnishedin an expen-
sive style ; our sons are not content with
anything but fast horses and varnished
vehicles, and Our daughters spend half
their time in' making outlandish looking
dresses, skid the other half in frizzing,
banging and prinking. 1 know some far-
mers' daughters who certainly spend
more time on the the 'croquet ground than
in the kitchen. My mother spun; flax
and wool, and prided herself on clothing
all her ebildren with - home -spun and
home woven and home-made attire, and
my sisters were; all fitted out with chests
of linen sheets, :pillow ;biers and table-
cloths, woolen blankets: and coverlets,
which they had: assisted their mother in
making. During these hot nights I sleep
in linen. sheets which bear the initials of
my mother-in-law, and in winter under
the woolen blankets which she wove.
Those were the good old frugal, thriving
times, when farmers lived econpmically
-and comfortably, and to: the old habits
we must return if we would not be har-
rowed bydebt andground bar taxes.
Please advocate reform in farm fash=-
ions."

The Use of the Lemon.
Few people know the value of lemon
juice. A pieceof lemon bound; upon a
corn will cure it in a few days; ilt should
be renewed night and morning.; A free
use of lemon juice and, sugar wil;1 always
relieve a cough.' Most people feel poorly
in the spring and take medicine for relief,
but if they would eat a lemon -before
breakfast everykday for a week—with or
without sugar, as they like—they would
find it better than any medicine. Lemon
juice, used according to this recipe, will
cure consumption, even after the doctors
have given it up as not to be benefitted :
Put a dozen lemons into cold water and
slowly bring to a boil ; boil slov,ly until
the lemons are soft, but not too soft, then
squeeze until all the juice is extracted,
add sugar to your taste and drink. In
this way use one dozen lemons a day. If
they cause pain. or loosen the bowls too
much, lessen the quantity, and use only
five or six a day; until you are better, and
then begin with a dozen a day. After
using five or six dozen, the patient' will
begin to gain flesh and enjoy food. Hold
on to the lemons, and still use them very
freely several weeks more. Another use
of lemons is for a refreshing drink in
summer, or in sickness at any time. Pre-
pare as directed above, ,and add water
and sugar. • But in order to have this
keep well, after boiling the 'lemons,
squeeze them and train carefully ; then
to everyhalf-pint o juice addn
p; �} one pound
of loaf or crushed sugar, boil and stir a
few minutes more wntil the sugar is dis-
solved, skim carefully and bottle. You
will get more juice from the lemons by
boiling them, and the preparation keeps
better. —Correspondence London Lancet.
Cruelty to Pauper Children.
A few days since, in the British House
of Lords, Lord Enfield asked the Lord
President of the Council whether the at-
tention of the Local Government's Board
had been called to the cruelties inflicted
upou two pauper children boarded out by
the Nantwich Guardians to a farm; laborer
and his wife named Suddlow; anth, wheth-
er the Poor Law Inspectors had made
any reports as to, the working of the
boarding -out system in the case of pau-
per children. The Duke of Richmond
and Gordon replied, that the man and
woman had been convicted of the gross-
est cruelty, the woman being sentenced
to 15months' imprisonment, and the man
to nine. The subject of boarding out
had been considered by the President of
the Lecal Government Board. Inspec-
tors had reported as tel the state of the
children, bat the difficulty rested with
cases within the union, and the President
of the Board intended toissue an order
which would prevent the recurrence of
such a case as the present.
The man and woman, thus referred to
had been guilty of a most sickening case
of cruelty. The victims of this barbarity
were two 'AU epaupergirls, intrusted under
a modified form of what is known as the
"boarding out system," to the care of an
agricultural laborer and his wife, and
these persons having been convicted, the
husband. Richard Sudlow, was sen-
tenced to 9 months' and Anne Sudlow,
his wife, to 15 months' imprisonment,
with hard labor. As too often happens
in such revolting cases, the woman was
the greater offender. The two wretches
had been torturing their miserable little
charges for months. The childrenhad
been habitually and mercilessly beaten,
and af ter punishment their tor mentors im-
mersed

ers in brine. " Flogging and pickling"

Farm Life.
When people li condemn farm life be-
cause of its " drudgery," I wonder if
they eve count up the advantages of liv
ing on a arm. [The fruit, the vegetables,
the fres eggs, poultry, milk and butter,
to say n 'thing of , the many rides the
family a joy,—how many of these could
be indul ed in if the family lived in
town, an the same capital was ;-;vested
there, th tit takes to carry on the farm ?
When a out to move on to our farm, an
old lady gave me this rather doubtful
congratu ation, " And so you are going
to be ti d down to a farm !" "Yes,':'
said I, " nd to answer you in words I
have heard mymother say many times—
I'wouldather be the wife of an intelli-
gent farnjer than the wife of a man fol-
lowing any other occupation you can
mention." Since the hard times I have
felt like repeating the same many time
with interest. To me town life would be
as u' erndiirable as country life would he

city; 1 . ve the quiet life on a farm.
The, hors s, the ,cows, the fowls,and even
the pigs am interested in. I have an-
other an• greaterreasonthan any yet
mentionefor liking the farm. - It is
such a go . d place for the children. The
fresh air, the freedom from restraint, the
pure mil almost anything that can be
mentioned in connection with the farm,
the influe. ces there brought around them,
all tend t make them healthy, happy
boys and i rls, the latter good and . hon-

terest in patch of ground, some of the
animals t care for and train ; if their
taste poi t that way, give the inventive
ability a •;hanceto expand, make home
as attrac ve as it should be with

will ilove e farm and the home too well
to eier leve it for the over -crowded and
dangerou ; city.—Mass. Ploughman.

A !Poet and his Dog.
An ane 'dote told. by Hogg about one
of his dog' will interest dog lovers. He
had eithe sold or given one of his dogs
to a neigbiring sheep farmer: Some lit-
tletimefterwards, while tending his
own 8ockS, he saw a dog appear over the
brow of a [neighboring hill beyond which
lay the fa •m to which his former com-
panion hall been sent. It trotted towards
him till -Within cognisable .distance, and
then sat down and steadily regarded his
old waste with a reproachful expression.
The shepherd went towards him, but the
collie immediately retreated ; he stopped
—the dog again sat down and gazed wist-
fully at him ; he called and whistled
the dog d d not move. Be again tried to
diminish the distance between himself
and his o friend, but in vain -the dog
retreated in exact proportion to the man's
advances, and never after would he come
within s eaking distance of the master,
who, in I is canine apprehension, had - so
lightly v lued, his' faithful service as to
consent t. part with him ; though ever_

his early
Short en in the German Army
The st ndard height for the German
infantry ]' at present fixed at 1.57 metres,
or about p feet 11 inches. A medical
man,writng to a German military paper,
points o4tt that, by thus summarily re-
jecting a4 "men who -are below a fixed
height, t e State annually loses the ser-
vices of a very large number of men who
would m ke excellent soldiers. A short
man, if •ell proportioned will, the writer
argues, not only be able to make as long
marches nd bear as much fatigue as a
taller mai, but will oven excel the latter
in point t.f endurance. The length of
pace and he cadence which are employed
with adv ntage by the one may' not, it is
admitted suit others, and a small man
may not e able to use with effect the
weapon curried by his larger brother -M-
arais. But let the short man march with
a, step suitable to his stature, and let him
be armed with a firelock somewhat short-
er in the stock, and the writer- maintains
that he will be able to render excellent
service, Consequently it is proposed
that all the men who,being below the re-
quired height are now rejected, shall,
provided always that in other respects
they are well developed, be embodied in
a separate corps—, corps which it is
promised, will soon contain, so far as
physical performances are concerned, the -
elite of infantry regiments. If the meas-
ure round hia chest after expiration is
equal to half his height, and if the chest
is well formed and has sufficient depth
a man, even two or three .inches below
the present standard for the German
Army, will be able to do more work than
many of the taller, and, by no means, so
well proportioned men serving in the in-
fantry. Ii the other arms it is admitted
that a certain Stature is essential, The
mounted soldier must have a sufficient
length of leg to enable him to mount and
sit on his horse, and the artillerymen
must be tall enough to enable him to
work, limber and unlimber his gun ; but
mere height is, it is argued, in no way a
necessary qualification for a man who has
to fight on foot on a modern field of bat-
tle.
The Toad and its Habits.
Formerly the toad was considered a
venomous reptile, but in our day its
habits have been more carefully observ-
ed, and its great value to the pomologist
and gardener has been fully. established
on account of its propensity for destroy-
ing insects, especially those injurious to
vegetation. We should, therefore, sedu-
lously cultivate the friendship and crave
the assistance of the insectivorous rep-
tiles, including the striped snake, as well
as that of the birds.
Every tidy housewife detests the cock-
roach, mice and other vermin. Two or
three domesticated toads would keep the
coast clear of these, and would. be 'found
more desirable than a cat, as they are
wholly free from trespassing on the rights
of man as does the cat. The toadis pos-
sessed of a timid and retiring nature,
loving dark corners and shady places,
but under kind treatment beoomes quite
tame. Many instances might be cited of
pet toads remaining several "years in a
family, and doing valuable service with
no other compensation than immunity
from persecution. All that is necessary
to secure their co-operation, indoor or
out, is to provide them with cool and
safe retreats by day, convenient access to
water, and they will go forth to the ererk.
formance of their nocturnal duties "with(=
out money and without price."
In Europe toads are carried to the
cities to the market, and are purchased
by the horticulturists, who by their aid
are enabled to keep in check the multi-
plication of the insect tribes which prey
upon their fruit's, flowers, &9.
No one can study the anatomy of this
reptile without being convinced of its per-
fect adaptation to the spherewhiob It fills
in economy of nature. Its tongue, which is
bapable of great. elongation, is attached
to the anterior portion of the -lower jaw
its free end, when the toad is in repose,
reaching down to . the borders of the
stomach. The moment it espies its prey,
its eyes sparkle, its toes twitch and
quicker than the eyes can fo low, the in-
sect is transfixed and conveyed to the
stomach of the captor.—Prof. Brainard, -
at Potomac Fruit Growers' Meeting.

chapel, Winchester, England, are t
ancient stall -seats now affixed to t
wall of the ante -chapel. These ha

hard oaken seat clapped against the. ha)
oaken bath, and made a noise lot

wawahole conga egation. Nothing was eve
more cleverly contrived to keep poop]
