There are sonic things which cannot bo accounted for by reason, although there is undoubte’dly reason for them. Here is an account of the way n French farmer cured abortion in cows, and it is probable that it will be received by most farmers with a entile of incredulity. It is found in the London Lite Slock Journal and is as fol lows: Soma eighteen months since a letter ap peared in the Journal O' Agriculture I'ra tique of France from a dairy farmer, who complained of tlie ravages of abortion among bis cows. Ho stated that the health of his cattle appeared to be perfect, that they were giving an average of 1,800 litres per head, their food was perfect and abundant in quan tity, the stables were well ajrated, contin ually lime-washed and every care in their management was rigorously observed. He bad consulted numbers of veterinary sur geons, who found that the conditions of hy giene were properly observed, and they coul< 1 give no reason for the epidemic in question. In the year 1870-80 from thirty fourteen aborted. In ISSI there were six abortions among forty cows. In 1881-83 four abortions, aud in 1882-83 there were nino cases of abortion in six weeks. During the season in which the let ter was written, after the first cases had oc curred, and toward the ‘doth of July, the cows were put morning and evening on the pastures in the hope that the change of air would arrest the complaint, but although everything was done that human ingenuity could devise, and though tlie cowsheds were treated as if they were infected places tlio misfortunes continued. The cows were lodged in two stables, about 230 yards apart anil without any communication between them. It is a singular fact that the evil al ways commenced in the same stable, and a day or two afterward was followed by its appearance in a second stable. The cows usually aborted between five and eight months, sometimes producing living calves, The loss was consequently considerable, for it was not only tlie loss of the calf, but the cows frequently became barren and were difficult to fatten. Th e writer appealed to the farmers of France for advice and received a large num ber of letters. Among them were two from different parts of the country, in which he was recommended to introduce a billy goat into the stables, and, struck by- the coinci dence in the experience of the writers, ho determined to try the remedy. The result is now published. One goat was first of all purchased and placed in one stable, and in duecourse the epidemic entirely disappeared, although it still continued in the other stable. A second goat was then purchased and, strange to say, there have been no cases of abortion since. The writer says he only speaks of an experience of nineteen months and that scientific men will probably smile at, or ridicule, the course he adopted; but the fact remains that since the introduction of the goats there has been no more loss from abortion upon the farm. He cites a case of a drayman in a large way of busi ness at Bordeaux who cured a disastrous epidemic of colic, which killed several of his horses, by the introduction of a goat into liis stables. The use of the goat among stock is, of course, not new to English breeders; but there are many who ignore the idea alto gether, and are as much inclined to ridicule it as the men of science referred to above. These particulars, however, are given for what they are worth. Alfalfa Grass. Nothing is more needed in this section of the South than a good nutritious grass, and there have been experiments w ith several kinds, all of which have not been successful. Mr. M. Arnold, of Richland, Hernaudo comity, Fla., sent to Colorado last winter for some Alfalfa seed and in February he marked off one acre and a half of poor pine land and fertilized it with 800 pounds of cotton seed meal. In a letter to the Florida Dispatch ho says: “I plowed the rotten seed niial and the alfalfa seed under and hnr roivtxl with a brush harrow. In ten days, the weather being favorable, the young •everappeared aboveground very thickly sad evenly. It was not long licfore the quad fouiftl out tlio excellent qualities of young, tender clover, and they pulled up peat quantities; but I managed to discour se their predatory habits, and the alfalfa "'unshed apace.

A planter in a letter to the Indiana Farmer says ho is fully of the opinion that the three words which form the title of this article embody the secret of success in all industries, and most of all in agriculture, as this is essentially the productive industry. It is, or deserves to lie, a maxim that what is best for the purchaser is also best for the seller or producer, and all wise men concede this. It therefore follows that it is for the interest of the producer to put into market only a first-class article, as such an article will always command a purchaser mid in variably at better figures than any that could be expected for an inferior article. The majority of purchasers have far more regai-d to quality than to price. This is true not only of rich purchasers, but of all who have the means to buy and the abiiity to discriminate between a superior and an inferior article. A shrewd day laborer never buys a barrel of low grade flour, even though it is offered at half the price asked for the first quality. He knows that it is economy to get tho best. Poor butter and many similar articles can, with difficulty, be dis posed of at any time, and even the medium articles sell at very low rates if there is anything like a fair supply in tho market, while the best articles aro in brisk demand at remunerative prices. Merchants and manufacturers are gene rally keen enough to understand this prin ciple, and lienee the competition among them to obtain a reputation for keeping or manufacturing tho best grades. Even when there is stagnation in trade, there are a few manufacturers who keep right along pro ducing to the capacity of their manufacto ries, and, if the reason is sought, it will bo found in tlie fact that they are producing a line of first-class goods. It makes no difference whether the pro ducts come from the loom or the loam, the best are always in demand. The butchers say they have no difficulty in selling beef at satisfactory prices. The best cuts, too, always go first. So it is with every thing—the best always sells first. Testing the Seed. Tho Practical Panncradvises to test your seed, whether you have saved it yourself or not. Many fanners think that when they save their own seed they are then safe beyond a doubt and do not give the matter any further attention,‘but experience shows that this will not do to depend on always, for there are so many causes during tho course of a winter, any one of which would destroy tlie vitality of the seed, that the farmer is not safe in planting any crop of considerable size without first testing the seed whether it is perfectly good or not. This can be easily done by putting a fair sample of the seed in a box of dirt and plac ing the box back of the kitchen stove, where it will be kept warm most of the time. If the seed is good it w ill then quickly sprout if the dirt is kept wanii and moist. In this way the farmer is enabled to act intelli gently and can easily see just how good his seed is, and whether it is safe to plant large crops with it or not. It is indeed very risky business to plant large fields with seed that has not been test ed. The work is trifling and it is but a small job to test it, yet it oftentimes results in saving a big loss. With the small crops and the garden ve getables it is not near so important to test the seed, but even then it would be a good idea to test it all the same, as the results would be so much more satisfactory for all concerned. Farmers cannot expect to have a constant steady improvement in their crops unless they pay esjieicial care to selecting their own seed and having it well preserved in some dry, well-ventilated place, where there is no danger from decay or mold. By such a plan of operation the farmer knows just what to depend on, and there is not then any liability of having to suffer severe losses by having inferior seeds passed off on him, which is done more or less every year. Figs from Seed. Mr. A. 11. Merrill, of Snudford, Fla., in a letter in the Florida Dispatch, says that he has a fig tree two years from seed which is about two and a half feet high and lias some seven or eight branches of this length. The leaves are moro clearly parted and more delicate in appearance than those of tho Black Persian. The seed was from a dried fig and was merely sown as an experiment. Of course the bush has not yet fruited, and he waits with anxiety to have the question solved. Will it fruit true to seed ! Household.

Yi-otert them and their nests, and keep a watch on tho family cats, which do tlie birds much dam age. White clover is the best grass that can be grown for sheep. Sheep aro not partial to tall grass, "and the white clover will always be selected by them in preference to other kinds. Sow early beets as soon as the ground shall lie warm. Use plenty of well-rotted stable manure and also about three pounds of nitrate of soda on each square rod of ground. The Colorado Farmer thinks polling not only unnecessary but a disadvantage to Lima beans, anti advises the clipping off of the climbing tendrils, thus making the plants low and bushy and filled with pods. It is not an uncommon error to suppose that animals that eat but little are the most profitable. So long as nn animal is capable of digesting and assimilating it, the greater the amount of foixl it consumes the more profitable are the returns; for the propor tion of the food that goes to supply the waste of tissue and run the animal machin ery is less when a largo than when a small amount is eaten. Tho first pound, or the first 100 pounds, of beef, mutton or pork is the most c< >stly. The greater the weigiit an animal can be” made to attain in the shortest period of time the smaller the cost per pound proportionately. It requires no more labor to feed a steer weighing 3,000 pounds than it, does to feed a steer weighing 1,000 pounds. The cost of production does not depend solely upon the amount of food consumed, but upon the food, shelter and labor. In sowing clover for pasture it is desirable to mix the alsike, red and white clovers, and the kind test adapted to the land will prob ably take possession ill a few years. A va riety of grasses is always desirable in a pas ture. Borne farmers who have plenty of pasture land are adopting the plan of sow ing tlie seeds of timothy, blue grass, orchard grass and the different clovers separately, giving each kind its own space, so us to per mit the cons to select the grasses preferred. It lias been demonstrated that each indi vidual will prefer certain grasses, and that the herd will separute over the entire pas ture. Prof. Augur, who has made a study of questions pertaining to the physiology of plants, explains tho chief cause of barren ness of some wild vines to be unsexuality. In some cases the anthers are defective, with a good stigma, in which case placing a fer tile vine which is perfect in bloom anil that is bisexual, like the Concord, Will induce full productiveness by cross-fertilization; if, as is sometimes the ease, the stigma is defect ive, the fertile male pollen will he wholly inoperative, and no influence of culture or pruning will reach the case with any cer tainty, and the vine had better bo abandoned and a tetter one put in its place. Sir John B. Lawcs says the German ex periments upon cooked and uncooked food for stock do not show Any clear evidence in favor of the former, and the process of steaming and other modes of converting dry food into succulent food have never become popular among practical farmers in Eng land, and he is inclined to think that too much value is placed upon succulent food ns compared with dry food for stock for meat production; for milk production, espe cially where quantity rather than quality is the object, he thinks succulent food would certainly have an advantage; but he is doubtful whether one would produce more butter-fat than the other. A correspondent of the Poultry Yard follows the plan described below, which, if carefully used, may be safe and effective. He says; “I make saw benches for roosts — that is, I take 3xf scantling and nail legs to them of the length to suit space and breed. These, as you will at once see, can be moved ot pleasure when cleaning droppings or for any other reason that may present itself; but the test part of it is as regards lice. Every week I take my kerosene can and go to the hen-house, carefully pick up aud carry out of door my saw tenches, pour the kero sene on them and touch it off; the flame will quickly run over every part of it and go out without burning the wood, but every mite, or nit that would have made one, you aro rid of forever. I have followed this plan for some time and have no trouble with lice.” Popular Science. .
