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. linn II lUpiwM. 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. Kun-eawn K»rnn. 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.

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 Home.i. 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 green orp», 4.

Onoo a year " sinoo Adam was a year ling," or less a trifle perhaps, Dio veter an editor of the Germantown Tele graph has told his readers how to euro meat. As no ono yet seems to improvo upon Urn method, wo will for the- say, fifteenth time repeat it: “ To oue gal lon of water take ono pound and n half of salt, one-half pouud of sugar, one* half ddtooe of saltpetre and onc-hnif ounce of potash. In this ratio tho pioklo oan be increased to any quantity dosired. Lot these he boiled together nnUl all the dirt from tho sugar rises to tfio top and is skimmed off.

A. IF, in JiUrnl World. 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 Gazette, l»M|» Mull Ihn farmer** wintry In il'-M- ti'K»' llw *o»d*n corn ; N»i rlchi»r Kill his autumn |«ur« Ii tho long, bright Says o » grew bright ami fair, POSTAGE PREPAID.
