This ban been lined both for horses and cows. The journal add* : " To fowl ryo that Ima been cut ripe, wo would thresh it, grind the grain along with corn or oats, cut the straw in a fodder-cutter, moisten it with wntcr, sprinklo u handful of nnlt and three-quartom of tho ground feed upon a large pailful of tho moist out straw. This mnkes a very good food for an ordinary sized horse when work ing moderately.” Horn—Hots aro tho larrm of tho horso gad-fly (Jf*frun cquut), and are in n condition exactly equivalent to that of tho caterpillar of a moth or butter fly. They therefore can not brood or reproduce themselves in fho stomach of a homo, being iinperfect'iuseots and in capable of breeding. It is oosirr to prevent their proaenoo in the horse’s stomach thau to get rid of them. If the yellow nits or eggs which may bo seen ' '.July ter, or scraped off with the edge of a knife, the horso can not lick them off and oarry them to their toinfmrary rest ing place.

Tobaooo will also destroy most kinds of worms ; but lime is pre ferable, because it aids in dissolving the plant-food in the soil, thereby stim ulating growth.

Tho oomet of 1811, of whioh so little is l)con said, attracted great attention in tho United Matos, and was of extra ordinary brilliancy. It was attended by somo very remarkahlo convul sions of nature, and it was said at tho time that it reached a point within -10,000 miles of the surface of tho sun. It was visible for tho first time on tho 7th of September, 1811, sud its situation was calculated by Professor Wood, of William and Mary college, Virginia, to bo in the same lino with the polar star. Tho diameter of its body, exclusive of tail, appeared to bo one fourth of the moon. From this timo to tho 21st of September, its dis tance from tho sun increased, as well as its brightness and tail. The comet was sup|K)sed to have passed its peri helion iHitween tho 4th and 12th of the month witli tho amazing velocity of 100,000 miles per hour. It could bo plainly seen in tho evening during tho month of October. Prior to its np- aranoe there woie unusual commo tions in tho earth and tho atmosphere variety of ways. A severe shock of earthquake was felt in Virginia. Both tho American and European sea- coasts, as woll as mnny parts of tho in terior of those continents, were unusu- all harrassed by tromendous hurricanes and storms of rain and hail, and a strange agitation of the atmosphere noticed.
