"The Patient Ox."
The United State census bulletin of
live stock on farms on Juno 1, 1881,
which has just been issued, presents a
vast amount? of useful information. It
shows that domesticated animals of almost
all kinds have increased much
yJSTt The
the census was taken in 1870. Horses
have increased 45 per cent., mules and
asses 61, milch cows 39, other cattle
06, sheep 24, and swine 90. There has
been a great decrease, however, in the
number of one kind of stock. The
number of working oxen has fallen off
25 per cent. Only fifteen States and
Territories report an increase. The
States and Territories that report an

have been recently opened to settle-

have been brought under cultivation, or
in which lumbering is carried on in
connection with farming. The greatest
increase is reported in Dakota, where
oxen have been in active demand for
breaking prairie. The increase there
has been 437 per oent. Florida shows
an increase of 157 per cent., Washington
75, Oregon 09, Arizona 68, and Nebraska,
22. . There ha3 been a large
decrease in all the old States, where the
farmers are comparatively wealthy.

Illinois is remarkable in respeotto the
animals it employ for work. It ha
1,023,082 horses, or about one-tenth of
the entire number !in all the States and
territories. It liafi also 123,278 mules
and asses nearly h tenth of the entire
the oxen in the State are owned in the
extreme southern portion, where there
is considerable timber and where the
land is very brokon. In some of the
northern counties oxon at work would
excite almost as much curiosity as camels.
Most of the children raised on
farms in northern Illinois never saw
oxen yoked and at work in the fields,
although they were generally employed
by the early settlers. A few years ago,
while the howe epidemic was raging in
this city, a largo number of oxen wore
brought here from Michigan to perform
the labor of horses. The streets on
which they drew loads were thronged
by children from morning till night, who
watched them more attentively than
they would a troop of elephants. The
assessors of Stephenson County a few
years ago returned but one pair of oxen.
No less than 40.893 oxen are used in
Michigan, whore most of the land
abounds in stumps and stones, and
where lumbering Is combined with
farming. Minnesota has nearly as largo
a number, though it has decreased during
the past ten years 10 per cent.,whilo
the population has nearly doubled. In
the States when) the land is chiefly
prairie oxen are used to break the virgin
sod, but not employed afterward. They
are converted into beef or are taken
further north or west. At present most
of the breaking is done by horses, the
sod being more tender than it was when
it was composed of the roots of wild
plants.
A variety of causes have led to the
substitution of horses for oxen in different
States and territories. The introduction
of labor-saving machinery, such
as the mower, tender, raker and loader
in hay-making; the use of the gang
plow, seeder and harvester in connection
with grain raising, and the general
employment of the planter ana cultivator
in the'production of corn, have all
contributed to it. Farmers havo
ally endeavorecTto substitute the Use ot
machinery for the labor of men, and
have also tried to cultivate all the land
possible. As the time for seeding and
harvesting is short in most of the Northern
States, the animals were employed
that could travel the fastest. The introduction
of the co-operative or commercial
sjTstem in dairying has also favored
the substitution of horse3 for oxen for
doing farm work. Farmers who produced
milk wished to take it to the factory
as quickly as possible. The improved
condition of the roads in most
parts of the country has also favored
the substitution of horses for oxen. As
logs are drawn further than formerly,
and the roads are better, horses are often
employed in pineries. Fashion has also
had much to do Jn disposing of oxen.
One farmer did not wish to use oxen
while his neighbors employed horses.
He feared that ho would oe regarded as
old-fashioned aqd behind the times.
Besides many farmers wished to combine
pleasure with labor. They were
anxious to trot 1o town in good style on
Sundays and other days when work was
not driving on the farm. The horse
was wanted for the road, and for that
reason was preferred for the field. As a
rule horses that were good roadsters
were preferred by farmers. Good action
uuder the saddle wa3 preferred to good
work before the plow.
It is evident that the " patient ox" is
an unappreciated animal in most parts
of the country. He has not a fair
chance to show his capabilities. lie is
not allowed to compete wkhthe horse in
doing those kinds of work of which both
are capable of performing. Oxon are
much cheaper to keep than horses.
They require less protection and less
expensive food. Harness for horses is
expensive and short-lived, but a yoke
costs very little and will Iat a life-time.
In most parts of the country oxen are
not required to be shod, but the shoeing
of horses is a matter requiring large expense.
Oxen are liable to fewer diseases
and aocjdents than horses and will stand
exposure much better. An old horse is
of In tie value, and the time comes when
it is not worth anything. Such, however,
U not the case with the ox. He
can be turned into a good pasture after
plowing is done iu the spring, and before
the approach of cold weather will
be in god condition for the market. It
is generally alllrmed ttv.it horses will do
much m re plowing than oxen and that
they travel much faster in the field. If
oxen are selected for speed, however,
and are of the sprightly breeds, as the
Devons, they will travel nearly if not
qniie a- fast before tho cart or plow as
the nnjority of farm horses. If they are
fed as well the dtfforenoe in speed will
be very slight. It is alo held to be true
that an extr.i driver is always required
for oxen, while the plowman" can drive
his own team. Such is not the fact,
iw experienced plowmen bf the old school
very wull know, li a? much time is
spent with steers a? with colts, the former
will plow as straight a farrow as
the latter without the aid of an extra
driver. Not many years ago oxen could
he fmnd on many farms in New England
that would rilow without a driver
and obey the word of command.

He Had Her Signature. ,
The American Express Company is
now issuing a "Money Order1' in connection
with its other business. A few
days since a well-dressed young mau
entered the office in this city, and stepping
up to the desk said to the obliging
money clerk, Mr. John Clark, that he
wished to send some money to his wife;
that she lived in Boston, in a flat,
and that her mail being sometimes
tampered with, he would like to
know how to send it so that
it would be absolutely safe. Mr. Clark
replied by showing him the 'advice
card" they use in connection with
orders, on which is a clause stating that
if the sender of the money has in his
possession a signature of the payee, and
will paste it on the card, the persons
calling for the money can identify
themselves by duplicating the signature.
The gentleman replied that ho
had lots of them, and putting his
hand in his pocket brought out a
bundle of letters. After examining several
in succession, a broad smile swept
over his countenance, and with a half
doubtful expression he said: Are you
a married man?" Mr. Clark answored
that ho was. "Well, then,11 said he,
"look at this," handing over one of
the letters. Air. Clark looked and
found the cause of the voiuiar
man's amusement to bo that the letter
was signed, uot with his wife's name,
but with the endearing substitute:
" Your ootsoy tootsey," and it turned
out that they all were so. Mr. Clark
then said: "Well, cut one of them oft,
and the agent will cause her to duplicate
it" The gentleman, after- some
hesitation, agreed, remarking: "Til do

Letter.
Garibaldi Dead.
With the death of Guiseppo Garibaldi
disappears a heroic figure which has
long filled a place of unchallenged preeminence
in the affections of Ins countrymen.
He deserved their love and
admiration, for he was not only a high-minded
and single-hearted patriot, out
a successful liberator, and what Mazzini
Iilanned he, more than any otfcer son of
taly, carried into triumphant execution
To find a parallel to the mtiuence exercised
by Garibaldi's personality in tho
shaping of events we must look not to
Kossuth or Bolivar or any leading spirit
of the French revolution, for the movements
with which those men were
had acquired an impetus to which
the contributions of individuals seemed
relatively insignificant But Garibaldi
may be said to have revived the traditions
of Italian valor, and in the victory
he won over great odds in 1849 under
the walls of Rome he taught his countrymen
a lesson of and
self-confidence which was never afterward
forgotten. When Garibaldi, with
a vastly inferior force, routed a
French army, he wiped out the
contumely of four centuries, reversed
the triumphs of Charles VIII. , and con
vinced tho world that Italy was at last
worthy to be free. Nor is it doubtful
to those who appreciate the difficulties
of Cavcur's position in 13G0 that Italy
owes her unity to the famous expedition
of the One Thousand against Sicily, a
feat of arms whose equal must be sought;
in the exploits of the Vikings or of tho
Norman adventurers who conquered
the same island eight centuries before.
There are few finer things in history
than Garibaldi's willing resignation of
a dictatorship which he had won by his
sword, in order that the historic kingdom
of the Two Sicilies, after an ago
long severance, might be merged in a
united Italy. And even his two unsuccessful
attempts to recover Rome in
1862 and 18t7 served to fortify his
countrymen in the resolve not to rest
until the Holy City had become the
Italian capital.
Garibaldi was something more and
larger than a patriot His sympathies
were not bounded by a single race or
country, He was animated by a noble
passion bt emancipation, and proclaimed
limself a citizen and soldier of every
and struggling 10 be free. Before ho
was forty years of age he had twice
nearly lost his life lighting for the independence
of Uruguay, arid at the ago
of sixty-three he otlered his sword to
Fixmpe"in the hour of her death
Ele with Germany. In Hungary, in
oland, in Servia, in Spain, in every
part of Europe where men have striven
to throw off the galling yoke of despotism,
Garibaldi's example was a beacon,
and his name was the watchword of
revolution. Of all contemporary great
men who have been associated with tho
uprising for freedom, not one has had a
stronger hold on the public heart, and
not one has rendered more brilliant and
substantial services to the progress of
humanity. N. Y. Hun.
What a Pint of Mamuv Did.
A Wisconsin farmer sends this experience
to the American Agriculturist:
"Last year, in hauling yard manure
across a field afterwards planted to
corn, some of it scattered oil in driblets
from a handful to a pint or so in a
place. When planting the corn I found
portions of these droppings, and where
noticed drew them into the hilK and
with the hoe mixe I them a little with
the soil as the seed was dropped. In
three instances, wlicl'e a large handful
or about a pint of tho manure was thus
put in, a stick was driven down to mark
the hills. When hoeing, we noticed
that in these hills tho corn plants had
started off more vigorously, were
greener, and at the third hoeing they
were six to twelve inches higher than
the other hills adjoining. Our curiosity
being awakened we followed up the observations,
and when gathering the
crop each of the three stalks in tho three
hills had two large plump ears, while
the surrounding corn did not average
one good ear to the stalk. This set us
to thinking and figuring. That bit o
.manure had given the young corn root
a vigorous start, just as good feed start?
off a young calf, or pig, or lamb
and tho roots penetrated further iv
evory direction and gather more food
and moisture. These stalks being bottei
nourished from below, ran far nwaj
from tho poorly fed neighbors. As tc
tho figures, the rows were three and t
half feet apart, and tho hills three fee
distant in tho rows, say 4,000 hills on ar
aero, and 4,000 pints of manure is about
bushels or two large
wagon loads. Anybody can rookon the
diiloroncc between six large, well-filled
ears of corn on each hill, and less thar
three per hill, and the cost of the
manure as compared with the tola
value of tho final crop. The plowing,
and tho seed, and tho hoeing, amount
to tho same in each case. All I have tc
S(iy is, that every corn-hill planted or
my farm this year will have at least o
oint of manure in it." '
