FARM NOTES, Every „ farmer . should , ,, put . in , a few , acres of sweet corn for early feeding. This will mature and f>e ready to cut up just at the time when pastures are short and milch cows need feeding. Those who have tried it, think it far better than hay. Hogs fed on corn alone can scarcely be altogether healthy. When farmers come to properly realize, if they ever do, that a mixed diet is necessary to health, the country may perhaps bid a long farewell to hog cholera and its attendant evils. In buying fruit trees with which to plant a young orchard, it is cheapest to buy t lie best ; and buy young trees and not too lar_ e ones, 8uch trees are not so much injured by transplanting, and grow and do better than older and larger trees, To make butter for long keeping, a slightly acid milk is required, Excel lent as the creamery system is for getting the most butter and cream from a certain quantity of milk, it gets it too suddenly for long-keeping butter. Keeping cream one or two days after gathering, in a moderately cool temperature, and then churning is a remedy for this defect. It is often of the greatest importance to a crop that the cultivation should be done at a certain stage of growth or con dition of soil; for example, on heavy clay lands a drenching rain forms a crust, which should be broken as soon as possi hie after the land is dry enough to work, The farmer who undertakes to cultivate forty acres with one team is obliged to cultivate at this critical time, and 80 Timothy >‘. is is hard permanently land, injured, the sold is from on the especially if crop is farm. This is the general verdict of farmers of much experience. But analysis shows that it takes Less of valuable plant food from the than clover, which is regarded as a renovating crop.

At a meeting of the English Linnaen of Society a paper was read on “The Sense Smell in Dogs.” in which some experi ments with a setter dog were detailed, which showed, for one thing, that while a very small part of the surface of a boot is sufficient to make a trail which the animal can trace, the scent is not able to penetrate a single layer of brown paper. It was found, too, that the setter w r as ready to be guided by inference as well as by perception, and that the act of in¬ ference was instantaneous. The iments also showed that not only the but the whole body of a man exhales a peculiar or individual odor which a dog can recognize as that of his master amid a crowd of people, and that the individ¬ ual quality of this odor can be recognized at great distances to windward,or in calm weather, in any direction. An obelisk of Ilameses II, of the 19th dynasty \ has been set up at Rome in memory )f the Italian soldiers destroyed a t Dogali by the Abyssiuians.
