FARM AND GARDEN.
PM4IMI CatU« mnd T»**U»er.
A oorreepondont of Bt- Henry, Ohio,
ill the Western Dural, replies to the in
quiry, " What aila our cattle ?" rb fol
low* : "A farmer near thin place had
also a queor diaeaao In bin cattle; and
as ha solved It at last, I will toll vou
what the poople thought it was. Mr.
II., of this place, had a lot of eattle.
and he also led them in the aamo yard
with some hogs, and they (the cattle)
died oue after another, nntil an old
farmer told Mr. It. not to foed his eattlo
and hogs together in the aamo piece.
Mr. It. separated the hogs and cuttle
and that stopped .the disease.
Vail and Spring Manuring.
A writer in tho Garden argues that if
land haa olay enough to retain mnrinl
particles, manure does best applied in
antnmn ; bnt if sandy and open, n gar
dener or farmer had hotter delay tho
application of macnre till nearly plant
ing time in tho apriug. For garden
purposes all manure hod bettor be rot
ted before it Is used, and it ia desirable
to heat the mass with lime when elak*
ing, or in tome other way, to kill tho
acods of weeds, and tho egga of insecth.
Never plant in mannro or elaowboro n
germ yon do not wish to multiply.

Homo ono asks why it ia that |w»tntooa
so soon run out ? There are two
grand reasons. There are few potatoes
in a hill that are flit for seed. Homo
aro overgrown, coarse, rank, and will
not transmit tho original quality.
Others are nndorgrown, and not full-
developed seed. A potato of medium
else, perfect in all its parts, with change
of ground will prodnoe its like, < *
infinitum. Ono other reason, autlii
potatoes I>otween stem and scod ei
continually, will darooralizo the insti
tution, It requires tho stem and seed
end to make s perfect sued. If cut, cut
lengthwise, Single eyos will run out
any potato; Thero is no other seed
that will boar mutilation like tho po
tato ; tho only wondor ia, that it does
not run ont completely.
Kiperltutnla with Tnmm« MartU.
t At tho requost of a friend, I made an
experiment with tho seeds of the to
mato. Thu fruit was out in half, tho
seeds from the flower end worn sown by
themselves, and also those from tho
stem cud were aown separately. Tho
plants from ihoseodfl of the atom cud,
contrary to my expectation, proved more
vigorous growing, earlier hearing and
moro productive than those from the
flower end. Those seeds were sown on
tho 29th June, and although they had
no extra care bestowed upon them, they
ripened fruit about the lit of Ootober.
I say "stxiit,” because my turkeys de
stroyed thl first fruit; and others rotted
badly. The Arlington and the Canada
Victor also rotted very badly, but
whether it was from some peculiarity of
their own or from ilio season, I cannot
say, as I liavo no other kind at tho same
saaaon. I think that tho Arlington
S roved about ono week earlier than tho
toads Victor, and I did not think
either variety was near ns good for tho
table as thoFi'
Fojeo.

The Country Gentleman, in replying
to a correspondent who inquires how to
mako an exhausted farm fertile, after
promiaiug that there are special oiretim-
stances to bo taken tnt-> account in every
snob ease, lays down tho following gen
eral principles in view of n soil which,
from oontionons herd . cropping, has
been deprivod of (lie vogotablo matter
it onoo contained, and nottlod down into
a compact, hard moss :
1. Underdraining, if tho toll settles
down in a mass after long rains,
2. Mellow cultivation when dry
enough, pnlveriaiug tho soil woll
preventive of draught.
0. Tho introduction of olover, to lie .
preceded, if neoeasary, by a moderate | posts to u proper ilopth, say throe nud
of draft animals, that good, sound oata
are by far the most nourishing and
wholesomo food for oitbei horsos or
mules on a plantation, for tho roason
that they are more easy of digestion,
am less liable to sour, are more easily
assimilated than corn in any shape.
For instance, I novor saw a mtilo
or horse fed on good, clean oat* tron-
blod with oolic or flatnlenoy. I allude
only to good, clean oats. If thoy aro
mnsty or monldy they are life worst
possible food, and will produce tho
worst result; but if they are sound and
about four or five months old, I am pos
itive that no other food is i»m good or
possesses tho combinstion of healthful
and nnlritivn qualities as they do, no
msttrrwliat tho work which (he animals
are required to do.
A liorso or mnJn doing very hard
work may bo allosed to eat as muoh n«
ho will without injury. He should have
just a little good hay or fodder in addi
tion. For an nnirnal doing light work a
less quantity may he given, and good
condition will M Icfpt up if they IN
ground coarsely and mixed with chon-
perl food and sprinkled with a littlo salt,
and water.
Corn is tho moat expensive stock food
I hat wo can possibly use. Oats are
cheapest and most easily raised. Even
were corn as wholesome food as oats,
the latter are prnfnrshlo in an econom
ical point of view. Hut worn tho oost
both oqnn), I should prefer the oats
tho more conducive to tho health ii
serviceability of tho stock. —Farm ntul

Over twenty-two years ago I hit upon
a plan of preparing fence-posts, that
insures their durability better than any
way that I have ever heard of. I don't
admire tho plan of " biding a light
under a half Imalml,” so 1 will givo vou
my experience. My attention was called
to it by seeing fishermen putting nols
and lines in hot coal tar ns they told mo
to keep them from rotting. I was thou
fonoing a lot, using cedar posts, and us
I wns short two or three; I got some
common white oak pieces from a saw
mill, four inches by six, and put them
in boiling eon! tar to tho dopth of over
two and a half foot, kept them there
from twenty to thirty minutes. There
wns n shallow drain nernss tho lot In
wbloh there was water in wet weather
during winter and spring. I set tlmne
posts lu that low place, leaving six or
eight inches Dint had been in tar nhovo
the ground. I made no further exneri-
monte Dion, Hixtoon years after that I
hud occasion to movo Dio /once, and I
found the cedar posts more* or less de
cayed ; some had taken a dry rot, and
would break off at tho top of the
ground, many were half doonyed, and
few, if any, entirely sound. To iny
surprise I found the tarred oak posts as
sound as whon put in. I unod thorn in
making a shod : about a year ago the
shed was torn down and the posts woro
ont oft at the ground, showing no signs
of decay. Tho year after lev ring dowu
tho lot fence, I put a |X>st slid plank
fonoo along the side of an orohard which
adjoined a public! rood. The gate posts
and some others were prepared in tho
way I have mentioned. I did not havo
facilities to preparo many. To-day
many of tho posts are one-third rottod
olT at tho nurfaoo of the grouud, and
all moro or less deonyod, except that
where tnrrod, they aro apparently just
as sound ns when thoy were sot. I have
slnoe been using tho boiling tar in va
rious wuys on timber, where there was
danger of its rotting, niul with like re
sults. I think the heat measurably in
jures tho elasticity of wood, bnt Dint
it does it no injury for fence pants. I
know that in making plank fonco, tho
grant objection in tho oost and frequent
renewal of the posts. Thin method, If
once adopted, will hoof almost incalcu
lable benefit to many pruirlo fHruitus.
My plan is this, get n cylinder soy of
No. 12 iron, not less, and from fifteen
to eighteen inches in diameter, and
long enough to iunure t he immersion of
dressing of manure, or by some othor

Onoo a year " sinoo Adam was a year

an editor of the Germantown Tele

upon Urn method, wo will for the- say,
fifteenth time repeat it: “ To oue gal

a large body of bnntera, they at onae
set out in pursuit of tho oannibal. As
they osmn near to a village, thoy heard
a great olamor, and the noise of women
wailing. It was sunset, and undor the
shadow of some trees skirting an adja
cent jungle thoy dimly saw a huso old
tigrosa devouring a poor herdsman,
whom sho had jnst ponnood upon and
killed. At sight of Gapt. Caulfield and
party the brute ran into the junglo. It
was too dark to follow her, so the cap
tain and bis friend, the missionary, pit
some poison into tho body of tho herds
man, and left it there as a bait for tho
man-eater. Tho tigress returned, and
tho next morning was found dead beside
her viotirn. When this story liocame
known, tho question arose : " Woro the
officer and clergyman justified in using
tho body of a human being as bait ? If
so, then if a man fell overboard and a
shark took off ono of his legs, so that
he died from loss of blood—in such a
oaso would it bn justifiable, in order to
capture and kill that shark, so ns lo
provent it oansing tho death of any
more men, to bait n hook with a limb
of Die dead man?" It is a envious
question, and wo leave it to be solved
by tho infallible render.—Pall Mall
