The Huron Expositor, 1872-09-20, Page 6<% 5 5 5 1 • ; * • • POSITOR. MilefergY.PZIMINTIV3V1 What . Know about ]Driving' Oxen. When I was a boy, my father al- ways kept one or more ox -teams and several spans of horses. Wherever the teams were driven, My destiny always was t6 manage the oxen and let some one else chive the horses, as. the driver could always ride'while the driver with the ox -team had to foot it. Boys liked to ride ferty years ago quite as Well as they do at the present time. More than this, when I drove the oxen they would take a heavier load on the road than a span of horses, go and retnrn as soon as the horses and keep even with the horses all day when plow- ing. But when a hired man ,was directed to drive the ox -team, they would soon become so hot that they would have to be allowed to stand • nearly one-fourth of thetime, lolling and puffing in the shade. Does the reader inquire for the cause of the difference? It was simply "whip Or • no whip. The hired man must al- ways haye a tremendous long whip - stalk with a hard lash on it; while 'heedless booby as- they called me, 'never cued whether I had a whip or not.' When the hired man was driving the oxen, every one on the farm knew where he was at work, as he made the welkin echo • with his incessant bawling at the team. It was one perpetual whip. and bawl. from the time the team started from the barn, until they re- turned. But the whip 'always pre- ceded the bawl. Hence, the oxen were kept on the tiptoe of excite- ment from being worried a.nd fret; ted during all the working hours. Before the. oxen were told to move they were hit a sharp cut with the lash. If the driver desired them to gee, he played the lash before giving the orders. If the team geed too much, they took an angry cut and were electrified into a runaway 'mood by the furious bawl of the en- raged driver, who was almost fight- ing mad, while driving the .ox -team. When the boy was directed to drive the oxen he was pretty near out of hituitor because he had to manage the oxen and couldn't ride. Hence he wouldn't have the big ox - whip. He was a little willful. All the whip he would use was any lit- tle stick like a gentleman's riding- - whip. But he soon learned that, he could mount the cart -tongue and go anywhere through the woods with- out .whipping and bawling at the oxen, and when plowing, the oxen would keep the furrow far better by the simple motion of a little stick, than by the perpetual whip- ping and bawling of the driver. Hundreds of acres haVe I plowed • with oxen, without any whip At all. After I had passed the age of • boobyhood,' I always preferred an �x -team to horses when plowing, as the plow could be handled much more -easily than when a heavy pair Of whiffle -trees were at the encl of the plow -beam. Many and many days have I plowed with my fat oxen for six or seven hours, when each one { was eating over half a .bushel of clear corn daily,- besides ranch other feed. As I used no •whip, and did not keep them excited by an angry bawl, those heavy oxen • -waddled along quietly ehewing the cud, and grew fat every.day. The great trouble with teamsters at the present day is, they do not know how to manage oxen or horses. By their incessant bawling, whip- ping and dubbin.; they worry and fret off more fat and muscle in a day than the animals can accumulate. —Agricola. - ***. Parra News and Notes.

The Thistle Nuisance. Sometimes the.member for Sou Wellington is good-humoredly ferred to in connection with Thistle Act, ; and if it was as oft thought of for the purpose of enfo ing its prvisions, the honorab gentleman -would have conferred great a favor on Canada as the go Duke of Argyll' of a past -age di on his native land. All around, all hands, and in the greatest abu dance on the poorer farms, we noti this almost universal pest, the Can da Thistle, which appeals to recei little attention from the owners the laud it grows on, and even le from the owners of the lands a joining, entil in some places t weed -has possession of the who field, in some places it appears rival the crop sown, and in not few cases it monopolizes more, Ian •than that which yields a profi Why the owners allow ,such a sta of things to 'continue is beyond co prehension, how they expect far in to pay when their efforts ai subordinate to the thistle, we kno not, and why they toil to put in , crop expetation of a return is mystery to us unfathomable. Spea to these men and they will tell yo what they intend doing next yeat how at some future time they 'pr pose eradicating the Pest, but th just now they cannot spare the tim or the land, or that they have som patent or secret plan of cleansin the farm of -all noxiousweedsin trice. Try to show them how labo is lost, seed and land wasted, wit ruin before them, and all is tacitl admitted so far as others are comer - ed unfler the like circumstances, bu not in their cases; they. have specie reasons foreall they do and leave un done, it will be all right next yea this field will be in fallow, that hav a root crop, and the, other be ;seede down, when that which now is al -wrong will be? made all right.- Bu a slight consideration shows proera tina.tion is the great enemy in thi as in all other evil cases; the lack o firmness and decision is destroyin the farm, beggaring the owner, and impoverishing the country at large, while the injustice done to neigh- bors is beyond calculation. Then, why, should such a state of things be allowed 1 There is a law with stringent conditions, w-hioh enforced would. abate the evil and also pro- tect the thrifty and ilidustrious from injury at the hands of the indolent and bad manager. Some people suffer much rather than complain, some do not wish to quarrel with a good natured lazy neighbor, and perhaps some few do not fully appre- ciate the damage they are sustain- ing. Under 'these circlimstap`Oes it would be well for each Mnhicipal Council to appoint a Thistle Inspect- or, whose duty should be defined and enforced by penalties—the Cor- poration. should clear the roads and the owners of land be made to lent their own crops, and theadvantagesin three or four years wouldbe great. Let the thistle:advance at the rate it has been doing during the past half-dozen -years and the farniers in many places will -mot have cleared land enough to sustain them whilst clearing off the thistle crop. And whilst referring to careless rming and bad management, let us ay a word on the other side.- In he Townships of Nichol and Pilk- gton there arc farms not only free -oin thistles, but that display a eatness, a cleanliness and a thrift at makes one feel proud to .thvell near them; and the Riding Agricul- tural Society. might very. properly offer two or three premiums for the best cultiA ated 'farms within its bounds.
