The punching ol holes through thevulons straps of h harness, (or buckle tongues and (or attaching the buckles, is a matter of consider nble Importance, and doe not, a n rale, re celve the attention tint It should. The old metbed of muchlng them, from tho tipper or grain side of the) leather, haft been very gener alljabimloned by the manufacturers of flno work, it being deemed iujutlouii to tho wear of the leatbor. The principal objection arises from the liability of the grain of the leather to crack from the strain on the buckle-tongue, and to be tbe cause eventually fit the leather tearing, at it cauiea auch it creaao where the tongue catclir that it injurea Ibo trxture of the leather and make it tear tbe bole more or lorn. In addition to this, if tho leather is very htrong the tongue of the buckle it unru to bu tent 'Ut of snaps. All Inese objections can betouvlateil by punching from tbe under or tiesb hidoot the strap, and by uaing punch, the long sides being parallel with the lennthof the atran, the puncli abould be act at an angle of about twenty degree, cutting the hole at inch an angle that tho buckle tongue will teat iu it without throw. Ing any strain on the inside of the leather. Homo object to punching the holo from the under aide on account of its forcing the grain out, andtbuidlaflgnring tbe outside edgtaof the hole; this can be corrected, however, by driving tbo punch through the hole from tho outside, which will cut away the slightly turned edge of the grain, altd set it down smooth ana clean. It la not necoasary, how ever, to repunch any bolea except those that will be exposed when the harness la complete. Punches should be aa thin aa posidble, na tbe extra tbloknet of tbe metal strains the leather. Humus Journal. Diuwikci Hcaiwa. Few things, says an ex change, are more voxstioua than obatinute acrewa which refuse to move, much less to be drawn out; and in the struggle against screw driver power suffer tbe loss of their beads, Ilka conscientious martjrs, rather thsn take a sin- 1 half turn backward from the courae they ave followed, and from tho position they have been forcid into. Like obstinate children, they must be coaxed, or rapped pretty bard on tbo head, according to circumstances; iu fact, whoever baa a tliht, obstinate scrow to "draw out," must keep bis temper down ami his reso lution up quite s much to the slicking point aa tbe sorew does. K the screw is turned Into iron and not very rusty, it is only necessary to clear tho bead with the wedge of the driver, and let a few drops of oil penetrate- to tho threads; but, finding that oxoessive heat or rust haft almost fixed the screwimmutnble,then heat, either by placing plcco of hot iron upon It or directing the flame of tbe blow pipe upon the head, and, after applying n little oil, turn out gently: but rare must l taken not to let the tool slip so as to damage tho notch. If, however, the screw refuses to come out, try to force It back with a blunt chisel, smartly but carefully tapped with a light hammer; but if evidently nothing oau dislodge the enemy, it is best to cut tbe bead away and drill out tbe screw. When an obstinate acrew happena to be in wood, merely give it a few taps on tbe head; but failing in that, beat it with a piece of but Iron, when it may be eaaily turnod. To Dkstbot Kisld Mick.

Their preparation is nearly as follows! Homo fibrous substance, such aa jute, Is soaked in a concentrated solution of ealtiieter, dried, then dipped in tar, and, when half dry, flowers of sulphur are sprinkled over it. When fully dry, tbe juto fibers are cut into little pieces, like pills, and are ready for use. As soon as they aro ignited they are stuffed into the bole, which is then stopped up with earth.

Now separate a portion, a little more than one-third; sprinkle Hour on tbe bosrd and roll this piece out till about i of an Inch thick, and spread evenly upon it with'o knife about a ioonfnl of the lard or butter. Hprinkle flour thickly upon that, double over the sldos, roll it up snugly from eud to end and Ihereyou have your "upper crust." Using the fiuo flour freely ujion tbe board you will find that both under aud upper crust will roll out as nicely as am pastry; will not be very tough, will look well enough aud Jlqttt without a jnmj. Plenty of cream in place of the lard or butter would make a more truly "byglenlo pie;" but tbe average atomach finds no fault with these. The amount of dough just made will do for three or four pies, according to size of plate; and one soon learns to divide the dough and make all things come even.

There Ift A good deal of discussion now--days about what kind of a horse the farmer wants. We have our opinions, as well at other people hive theirs, and wilt give tbem. The average farmer wants a horse that be can uso for gcueral purposes. He wants a horse that he can ride, tint he takes pleasure In rid ing. Us wauls n horse that he can drive to his buggy, and th it ho takea pleasure in driving; that cm get over tho ground nimbly without stumbling or tiring by its great weight. He wants a horse that he can hitch to his carrlago of a Sunday and take bis family to church. Ho wants a horse that be can hitch to the har row or iilow. load of bay or grain, and that w 111 step off briskly with it. He wants a horse for all purposes. Iu other words he cannot afford to keep a riding horse and a bnggy horse aud a carriage learn ana a uraicteam out no wants one that combines all tbo qualities that will make the best horse for all these purposes. Now ibo ponderous draft horse won't do this. One had os lief rid on elephant aa one of these great overgrown things weighing seventeeu or eigh teen hundred pounds. When it comes to driv ing to a buiigy, the dralt fellow won't do, neither will it do for tho carriage for an ox team would get over th ground about as fast. Until you have heavy, steady pulling and uolhlng else; if you bore ponderous loads to move tbeu Mr, Draft Horse comes iu well enough. Ilut the averago farmer can't afford to keep loom for draft purposes only, II baa other usi-afor horact, and consequently he must have a horse that will answer for draft and other purposes too. Now wbst sort of t horse is this? A horse that Is 15 J bands high, or A lit tlo more, with good barn), legs aud muscles, aud well mode, will do all the things the farmer wants. Some want a larger horae wa don't. They u not so lsrg as to be atov up, or more lively, sprightly and wilt move as heavy loads as tho farmer's wagons will stand. This is tho horso for general purpoaet. Now get lly!, docility, speed, gameuesa, Intelligence, longevity, and you have a bone which every body will adiniro, that cau be uted everywhere to advantage under tbe saddle, before the buggy or tho carriage, or tho plow, or tbo loaded agon. Tbeso great, overgrown, ponderous fel lows will answer for very heavy draft purposes, but for nothing else. .Jural U'orld. The Evil of Paring a Horse's Foot. It Is also by means of this Inner or sensitive sole that tbe seen tlons which feed tbe outer sole ore deposited. On tho other baud, tbe outir sole baa for ita use the work of protect ing the'inner sole, both from contact with the ground and also with the atmosphere. This atmospherio contact results in absorbing the nitnrol moleture until it becomoi desicatid, or parched, ao thit great cracks and rents ap pear it it, as tho farmer in August, on clay bottom, finds great rente and cracks in the soil. In short, tbeouter sole is nature's shield aud nature's ttufllng for the inner tole, to ward off on the one band, the blowt that might oihtrwise smite it; and on tbe other baud, to keep itt juices, by the means of which tbo sole of the loot ia being supplied with needed nutrition, from being dried up. At this point wa may properly inquire, if this Is the use anl office ol the outer sole; II it holds auch an im portant rank iu the order of natural provision lor the sound condition and healthy growth of tbo foot, wby It It ever pared away f This it my answer ; Tbe reason is, because peo ple or ignorant, and blindly follow a stupid aud barbarous custom, instead of pausing to reflect upon what they are doing. Ask any smith why be pores out tbe sol 01 a foot, and be can give you no reason save that be baa been taught to do so. And who, pray, taught him? Home on as ignorant as be, I reply; and so, generation after generation, a barba rous and indefensible act has been committed, to the premature breaking down of many valua ble horses, aud actual maiming of not A few, oud the painful torturing of some. No form of flesh is more sensitive to pain than the inner substance of a horse's foot. Its power of sensitiveness is like that whlcb lies sleeping under th human finger-nail. To protect this from hurt and undue pressure, na ture has put this bsrd, horny shield, viz., th outer eole; and jet I bava often tat and teen on ignorant smith btck and hew and pare away thtt natural protection until be could actually indent It with hit lingers, and little drops of blood oozed forth from within. Im agine the feellngt of the bone after having been put into th shafts! He wa driven forth luto the dust and gravel of tbo ttreets, or sent pounding along a ttone pavement, with nolli lug but tbe tbiunest possible filament of horn. substouca left between the exquisite inner or ganization of the foot, aud the dlit, gravel aud stones on which he wot traveliug. Yet tbia method of procedure it not only tolerated by grntlemeu of wealth and character, but vindi cated and held up as the model (f) method of preparing tbe loot for the eniergencleeof actual service.
