The Huron Expositor, 1878-03-01, Page 7see THg Bresking 'ate Colt and Driving the Teeen. ; There is perhaps no place so well adapted to breaking in a young team to -Work, as on. the farm. There are few era but what have at least one atly horse, beside which a colt can be hitched with (shill guarantee that the horse understands the colt, and that the eon will also know that it is yoked be side its =Laster in strength, and. may as well move along quietly and behave k- noll Neither the horse nor the colt is ac- nredited with th.e intelligence and. tact they usually possess. The colt accus- tomeite being inthe company of horses in thetharness becomes familiar with these trappings, and if hitohed with a horse with whom it is well acquainted, upon the farm where raised, the process of training, if in good hands,is a simple Imo indeed. It is policy to hitch the Olt with another horse, to give confi- dence, the wagon moving ahead even *hen the colt inclines ro stop. If he 'becomes restive and excited, it is well to teachhin the halting word, making hiiat stand still till quieted, and it will take but a very short time to so quiet him, if the driver hinaself keeps entirely calm Stnd firm. - The driver should, from the begin - an rig, learn the colt to walk up to the bit, that is, to not allow him habitually to 'tang back, A very easy snagoth bit should be put into the colt's mouth, one that he will enjoy pressing agaiust When he has learned that it is one of the fixtures never to be di sed with, and. _ forms part of the connecting links be- t -Ween him and his master. By this he soon learns that he is made to halt, or to turn to the right or left. All spirited colts SO011 horn to like their work, if this be not made too heavy. It becomes when restrained from the liberties of POlt life; their mode of exercise—always ateful to a spirited beast—as the mus- e es and joints, as well as the whole ner- lions system, becomes uneasy, amount- ing almost to a sensation of aching, When too long confined without exercise. Thus the colt, and afterwards the ma- ture horse, if treated_ kindly, will take delight in exercisind a healthy, N-igorous set of muscles, anein responding to the athraade of those who use him fairly and. feed him_ well. Brit a small_ proportion of men who harelle horses, ever fully learn to a -team adroitly. He who drives with a slack rein, is a botch, of a driver at best. 11e has not learned his lesson correctly, nor is he competent to teaoh, his horse how to go, nor his bay to become a &inter, - The horse should. be taught to bear on tile bit. A horse that will not do this has been only partially taught, and in entirely unable to show his best style ot gait. There is propriety in driving 94 team without reins, as some English farmers do, but only tractable horses elan team to do duty safely with their heads loose, and when so learned, if t eir early training has been good, they appear to the very beat advantage. 3tioessive Use of Coarse -Feed. The growth of our young stook is not dluly encouraged by too free use of coarse proyender—hay aad straw. The di- gestive engem( are unduly taxed, not with the -meant of uourishment thrown intto the apnea], to convert, but fromun- due distentien. The digestive organs of the horse can only act advantageously upon a given bulk, and if more than this be taken into the sturnach, a matters little whether it be m'heat straw—cut When over ripe, nence containing only the merest moiety of nutriment—or the best of timothy hay, because all food requires to be moistened by the fluicl which enters iato, and makes up a part of the digestive process, Henee„to load the digestive organs with such a balky mass overtaxes as ranch as to load the back of ar beast with a peadorous top bleavy loadnet extra heavy,yet swinging to and fro. The relative selling price between corm hay and oats, when their nutritive Woe ia taken into &COMA, is not ma- terial. Hence it is a mistaken policy to withhold grain from stock, feeding hay instead, in undue quantities. Whether fed to cow, horse, or pig, food should be more or less ceneentratea,—less needful to be so for the cow thou either of the others- abut measurably so for each, be- cause not only ia the prooess of (Egos- tien retorted by distension, the presence of a largo amount of dry bulk to bo mois- tened, but after this passes out of the stomach, and comes in contact with the absorbent, an undue tax is put up - 001, these, in au effort to separate the nutritious particles, prepared and ready to be taken up to go into the circulation from the bulky mass of refuse, this ]at - ter beiug a, great tax upon the system te handle through the several stages, up to its expulsion iu the fermi of focces. So, for the reason given, it will -stand. the farmer and breeder in hand to give more attention to the preparation of !stock food, than is commonly given. If this be not done, the objects sought in feeding/axe but indifferently accomplish- ed. The food supply will disappearnut your hopes of growth and flesh accunn elated will not be realized. 1=Fow to Keep tlio Boys at Home.

Teach them to feel that yo o are dependent upou Minn for com- pany. So 1 say to yea, make your home happy in a. way that boys Eke, anti not in a way that some churches like. Boys are worth more than church forms,- for boys are germs of angels, or else they are seeds out of which devils spring. If I felt that my boy would eat peanuts in oh.urch, that he would. go to sleep be- cause he was not interested, I should spend one-halfdpf the day under hedges or by some running spring. I should preach to that boy in a way that -would make him forget his peanuts and sleep- ing in church. The running spring should remind him of that fountain of living water which flows from the the throne of God. If there was a bit of .sea, it should remind him of that sea oficrys:- tail before the throne of God. If there was an empty aeon:Ent should reraind h im of the temple of clay out of whicb the spirit has departed. All things should be a service to God. The fields and the, skies should: be the church, and ' that boy should be made a follower of Christ in that way beeause he is best adapted to that kind of service.—Rev. lir. B . : R. Murray. 1 `I . . The Value of Straw as Fuel. One of the drawbacks connectediwith the use of steam is the necessity of fetching -fuel to maintain it, often ifrom great distances. The requirement is es- pecially felt in agricultural work,, and every effect to introduce enginesthat can use the ordinary products of alarm as fuel therefore deserves favorable con- sideration. At present there are several machines that can utilize straw, chips, 4. peat, brushwood and similar Materials, but very little is known of their aetual performance. Experiments made in Russia. in 1872 showed that the folldw- bag weights of different substances were required to produce an actual effect: one pound of geed coal, two pounds of dry peat, 21 pounds of drir wood, 2?" to 2 pounds of cotton stalks, brushwood or megass (pressed. sugar cane), or 3i ito 31 pounds of wheat or barley straw. lAny one of these Will evaporate eightpounds of water itt an ordinary tubular boiler. In using these poorer fuels it is neces- sary to make some alterations in; the proportions of the boiler. The firegrate and box have to be enlarged., and iore heating surface allowed in the horse power. A boiler that was built for coal can be heated. with straw or any other of the fuels, but its power will be re- duced -by the change, though in what proportion cannot be stated, until more is known of the working of these fuels. From the figures above given it is pos- sible to calculate the amount of. work that can be -done with the straw or other refuse -produce of a field. Last year it 'was found. that two engines burning straw and ploughing twoinches deep, used about 67 pounds of straw per acre ploughed. A. s the crop yielded about 2,750 pounds 41f straw per sore, it is plain that four amen can be ploughed with, the straw out bf one acre. This agrees with, earlier trials, in which a 12 -horse boiler was found to consume20 pounds of straw per horse power each hour, and the straw from one 'acre would. run the engine from 12 to 18 hours.—Exchanye. Ste -wing Oysters. _ I add_ as mucb cold water to the oys- ters and their juice asi think proper ; I then hold a colander over the pan, and, with a, fork or spoon ladle out eaci oys- ter, into the colander, and it,.11ow the juice to run. bank into the pan, removing - any bits of shell which I observe adher- ing to the oysters. When all are trans- ferred. the liquid. portion .is strained through a fine sieve, which keeps back bits of oystler and, shell and anything undesirable. Persons who have ever eaten a carelessly prepared oyster soup will have noticed. how unpleasant it is to find bits of shelland gritty stuff upon the plate, to avoid whicb requires Consider- able skill. To the 1 quid I now add a little milk, permitting it to come to a boil. Then 1 skint off all the floating scum, which is considerable i..to this the butter and other seasoning are added. A, few minutes before the soup is needed for use I pour in the solid meats, being 'careful that the soup is boiling briskly. This Will stop the boiling for a few nain- utes. Mien watch, and as soon as it commences' to reboil I remove from the lire and pour the soup into a well - warmed tureen. The result of this method is that the oysters are larger than they were when they went into the soup,—"Mrs. H. II . T,", in America,n, Caltivator. Light for Live Stock. Neither cattle nor horses should. be installed in a dark stank, as animals require light in the daytime. A horse kept for months in a dark stable would be liable to become blind. Itt regard to light pig -pens, a recent writer says that two sows, having litters on the lath aud 22nd of January respectively, were kept in two rather dark, but wan/Item- porary sties, and had to oecupy them till about the middle of the - month of April, when., for each sow with litter, one of the permanent sties wag opened by selling -the occupants. .At that time tb.e pigs which had. been kept in the dark temporary sties, proved. to be less lively than, and much inferior in weight and size to, those of any of the litters raised in the less warm but well -lighted permanent sties, notwithstanding that the difference in age was very small, audnhat food [ma care had been the same in every respect. One of the lit- ters born on the 18th of January, which had. accidentally the best -lighted sty, th.ougli situated in the north-west, anEt conmequently the coldest corner of the frame building, exhibited the mostrapid growth, and the litter born on the 18 of January, which had the darkest sty, had made the itoorest.—Exchange. An Agent Outwitted.. Some tune ago a son -of Erin, who had lost a dear friend by death, resolved. • in aceordance with a wish of the deceased, to have the body removed from Ireland ncotland, where other members of the family were interred. The corpse was duly taken down to the steamer inclosed in a coffin, aua that again in- cite -ad in a -wooden case. • Pat imme- diately sought out the booking clerk, aud asked him' '• what the cost of a body would be going across ?" The clerk, from the way the inquiry was put aesteered, " Three Shillhig8 •" where- upon Pat asked tickets fea two, which were giveu and. paid for. ,Tlie eorPse was taken on board the steamer by the friends of the deceased, aud cluriter ihe paesage the steward came anemia aiusi asked Pat for his ticket, which Was at once given up. On. the arrival ('af the :steamer. at , other friends Of the deceased. were in waiting, to show what little tokens of affection they could by assisting to have the corpse carried out Ou its being lauded tho agent for the steamer at once saw what the case contained, and. gonsulted his mani- fest to see if the feight on it had been paid on the other side, er was still t pay. Finding no ntry in his manifest he stepped. up. tc mourners and tol them to leave d wu their load lint' such times as th freight was settled Pat who had. come across fin charge o the corpse immediately replied that th freighthad been paid, and produced the uncollected ticket in proof of his asseri tion. This did. not satisfy the acrent,1 who told. Pat that there was a misbtake somewhere, adding that before the body could be remove& from the quay; £1 (a usual sum chargedpr such) would have to be paid as freight. To this Pat demurred, whereupon the agent ordered. his men to remove it into the shed, and turning to Pat, he told him when he paid the freight he would get the corpse away, and not till, then. As ' the men, were carrying the case with its contentrd into the shed; Pat addressed the agen as follows: "Ye dirty mane thief, y can kape it altogether, but ye will b moighty soon gladto get aid of it; an he indignantly turned on his heel to g away. The agent, on seeing Pat's in difference on the subject of the inter- ment, and fearing, an altercation with the, sanitary authorities, called him, him back, along with the mourners, who had preceded him, and. ordered thern to remove it at once, during which the question of freight was never once re- ferred -to. Stork of a Lad Who Drifted to Sea in the Schooner Twilight. The rescue of the lad Adolphus Par- ker, who was carried to sea on the 23rd inst. in the schooner Twilight, which broke her moorings at the inlet at At- lantic, City and drifted out has already been reported. A reporter 'secured the following statement of Parker's Oven.- turous trip. He said: When she first parted. her moorings I thought I would run her ashore, but she struck the wharf and sheered off into' the stream. I then threw over a small kedge anchor which dragged to the first buoy,and then parted the cable: Noticing she was fast driven on the bar I hoisted sail to keep her off.' The surf laCatt put out to help me, -but turned back. Meanwhile I tried. to haul her close to the wind,after clearing the bar in the hope of receiving assistance which did not coine. I now found myself fast being driven to sea, and I didnnot think the schooner would be able to stand the terrible waves which struck her. The rigging was poor, sails torn and the prospect of her weathering the gale not very promising. On Wednesday night a heavy eea broke over the vessel and. rolled me,over the the wheel. The rigging and. deck were covered with ice and. it was with diffi- culty I kept myself from freezing. On Thursday I suppose I was near the Gulf ' stream. There was about a foot and a half of watenin the hold, and a heavy sea rolling. The pumps gave out, and I was forced to bail her outwith a buck- et. About 4 o'clock on Thursday af- ternoon, the wind sprang up fresh from the southeast. I then headed west,a,nd about 10 o'clock at night was hailed by, a bark, which cleared the schooner by only ten feet. The schooner's lights went out. I took down the starboard light, relit it, and. hung the signal light in the main rigging on the port side. On Friday morning I sighted land near Beach Haven, and after beating about all day, headed up abreast of Absecom light. The sea was very rough and fail-, hag to bring the vessel into the inlenaaad as the water was up to the cabin floor, beached her on Little Brigantine shoals, where I was taken off after hav- ing been without sleep for four days . and three nights."

JOHN ROGERS, SEAFORTH. NEW GROCEitY AND PROVISION Keeping Eggs. A farmer who has given much atten- tion to raising eggs for market publishes the following as his method of preserv- ing th.em : "My mode of preparation was to varnish the eggs as soon after they were laid SS possible, with a thin copal varnish, taking care that the whole shell was covered with varnish.. Intibsequently found that by painting the eggs with fresh albumen, beaten upl with a little - salt, I preserve them equally well and for as long a period. After varnishing or painting with albu- men, I lay the eggs upon rough blot- ting paper, as I found that -when they, were allo-wed to rest until dry on a plate or on the table, the albumen stuck so fast to the ta,ble or plate este take away a ohip out of the shell. This is entirely obviated by the use of blotting paper. I pack the eggs in boxes _of dry bran." By this means, the writer adds, eggs are preserved. so perfectly that after six; months they have been _mistaken forl• fresh laid eggs, and. he thinks they can; be kept good for. a year. DO NOT A Little Trimming. I went down town, the other day, with a comfortable but old-fashioned hat on my. Lead.

But this was far surpassed by the winter of 1683-84, which appears te have been the Severest ever recorded iu that country. This was -one of the oc- c &gene when the Thames was' frozea over and a fair held thereon. The river sivas frozen. frora December to Febtuary, Trees were split in 'the 'forest by the -violence of the cold, nearly all the birds perished, and the heavy snows made the roads itt some parts of the country ale most impassable, The winutwserheaaiefnalt7t0th8eer-3,1 was 710tahle for its three months' con, were overtaken on the mountains by al later a snowstorm on the borcletlands snowstorm 2.° severe that 7000 of thenn xible disaster. The Swedish_ army was. mcda,S:chineaeguoanliciDrNonorthwe2;y7c,a tinuous frost and. snow. Ten years perished., and the expeditionh d ob . abandoned. The Norwegians have the, credit of the introduction of soldiers. trained to manoeuvre on the snow, and; ehod with a, kind of snow -skate; but mi - der snob circumstances as these they too would have struggled against thi warring elements itt Vain. The snow- storms of that season reached to Brits' ona in the eolith and west of Eng- - . -land snow fell for several days in see - cession early in Januaxy'and, as one of the sefferers remarks, there was l'a,very haa:d frost for a- long tyme, besides snow very often, and all things very deare, so that a lialfepenny rowle weighed just a, crown piece, ana two turneps pad for a pony, and coals sold bar 40s. a, quarter, : unan.1 th.eis things, notwithstanding soe d.eare, was Very "bad itt kintle." Nearly half a century •passed before there was any snowfall in Enlgland at all approaching this, but in rebraary, 1762, it snowed for eighteen days with- out ceasing. The 18th century closed as it had_ begun, with a succession Of " hard winters." Looking through tile records of these times we can well uns derstand the oft -quoted remark of the "oldest inlaabitants," that ;since they were boys the seasons have thanged. The -winter of 1781 WAS one of the most severe of the series. Snow fell -firSt on the 7th, of October, and front. that date until the 2nd of Apriln1785---177 days— there were only twelve days on whieh at did not tither freeze or snot*, or both. The winter of 1814 was long Teta-ember- ed in many parts of England as that of the 44 Great Frost." iovor the Conn - try the mail 'coaches had -to cease run- . ning, and in many instances were abau- doned in the snow, the letters being sent on by the guards on ;horseback. And even. this means of Conveyance _ proved unavailing m some loeslities, for when the snow lay four feet deep in the streets of the great towns, lit may be • fairly presumed that it pinned a, much , more serious obstacle in: the open ; country. Another remarkable snow year was 1820. In this year, as in1814, the quantity of snow that fell on the ; moors and fells of the north, and on the -• great plateau of Dartmoor was enor- 131011S, and several lives were lest. So ; far as Great Britain is e,Oncerned, no: snovestonn for the past hundred years has approached in violence and extent ; that in December, 1836, After it had bent' tsnowine heavily for two days, by the evening of the 26th the wind in- creased to a hurricane. The fan of snow .` that night was fourkto nine feet, and Ei0Me of the snow -drifts were twenty, thirty, even fifty feet in depth. "The mails, businoss and correepondeece were stopped nearly a week, nuitil the multitudes employed hid eut, a way 111 the snow. Severai lives were lost in the snow, whith was equally great all the island over." Since then. there have been several winters in which there have been heavy falls of snow, and. some ,in which the mail cortehes in var- ious parts of the conetry had to be dug_i out of -the drifts, as happened to the coeitnetefaanous "Quicksilver" mail en re- lyas 1842. One night's snowfall ;,,„ was suffieient to bury the coach, and it took seventy men, working all night, to cut a way throaghthe drift awl allow it , to proceed. The Grand Duke Nicholas. The Grand Duke Nicholas, brother of . the Emperor and_ conamanderinechiefof the Russian armies in Europe, arrived. in Tzarevitza towards eveniant andtook up his. quarters in a deserted. cottage. The only eign of his presence was a ; snaall flag and an infantry band, which 1. astounted the few Bulgarians left in the' village with soine rather noisy eelections from the repertoire of Maitre Offenbaela I first saw the Grand Duke engaged itt cooking liver and bacon over a huge fire I precisely as our frontiersmen eook Ven - ism' in slices spitted. on a long hard- wood stick. As evening approached a certain amount of ceremony was pre- ; served. in the yard of the cottage, where most of the members of the staff' had. ' gathered, but Nicholas paid smalls at- teutionto it. He strode to ma fro with long, elastic, winging step, superintend- ing his own -dinner, although there were numerous servants in attendatiee. The veteran_ Cossack general 'Skobeleff., father of the youthful general whose recldess heroism has given laim fame throughout Europe and America, had with his own hands slaughtered _and ' in the fashion whieh has been known in the Beet for the last three thou:sand , ydreaerssed a sheep, and it is now roasting s. Nicholas has a face which in repose is proud, imperious, tna fbows wonder- ful capacity for passion. A lightning - like temper might at a moment's notice be betrayed by those keen eyes, ordin- arily filled With pleasant Quick in all his motions, he likes quieltness itt others t.,he rides a horse which, it wears others out to follow, and was fond of 's dashing away to some distant village, 4 and then seading for the others to come 1 up with him, while he was on the roan. to Tiritova. He told. with greatglee how he left the palace of Cotreeeni,in Buch- arest, by stealth„ went -down to the Danube, and had half his plans perfect- ; ed before any one outside ofhis immed- iate personal eirele knew of it Ile speaks English as perfectly as a foreigner ean ; it was the first langnage that he learned, and he had a Scotch nurse.
