In changing the diet of an ox five days will generally elapse before the remains of the preceding diet are ex¬ pelled by the animal. Spread manure as fast as it is made. Manure applied in fall and winter will do the cor jrnueb more good than that applied in- ehe spring. I Thyme yill grow ^almost anywhere, but it prefers a dry, poor soil. If the ground is rich tho plant will grow too luxuriantly und lose its aromatic qual ties. A cow tvintered upon two tons and a half of hay will produce not far from five tons of manure, provided she be 'Well littered and none of the excrements be wasted. A Mississippi into farmer dashes cold water the ears of choking cattle. This causes the animal to shake its head violently, aud the muscular ac¬ tion dislodges the obstruction. WTn A . pound , of . bones , contains . as much , of wheat. On many ““'I farms o there P ° UD are bones wasted sufficient to supply phos phonc acid for all the wheat consumed The autumn sown grains,jboth wheat and rye, have deeper roots and a longer period of grqwth than the spring sown cereals, and are better able than the latter to supply themselves with the necessary^ ash constituents from the soiL ‘ Plant fruit trees in the fall. Pack the ground firmly and mound up the earth around them to keep them steady, Level the soil in the spring. A gill of carbolic acid in a pail of whitewash ap plied to the trunk will keep off mice and rabbits.

Scatter oyster shell lime about the yerds and runs. It is the bast material for egg shells. Air-alaked lime scat tered over the floors of the poultry houses will drive away unpleasant odors and keep them healthy. Add crude carbolic lime for whitewashing. It is most effective in destroying lice. In the treatment of light soils, Eng lish farmers frequently sow maDgeJs, carrots or Swedes to be fed upon the land with sheep. Such land after being fed off bv sheep wll be made close and productive by the tread of the ani mals. With an allowance of oil cake i spent on the land, these fields will be quite productive for cereal crops.

A delegation of twelve of their members, as chosen apostles, have been selected to prepare a proper Bible for their use, and which will not be given to any outside of the families of the chosen. It will contain the articles of faith, and is supposed to be mainly composed of extracts from the Old Testament as they discard the new version. In some respects they are communists, as all members who are worth over $3,000 put their property together and divide the profits pro the rata. They take many customs from Jews, and Lave a large number of holy days, which they keep very strictly, besides Saturday and Sunday of each week, which are observed as days of rest.. They do not have anything to do with outsiders any more than is strictly nece aud Fury. the They never marry but once, in event of the death of husband or wife, remain single the remainder of their life. Divorce and separation are not allowed, and any difficulty which may come up in the family or church are brought before the twelve elders, from whose decision there is no appeal. In their dress and mode of living they are hair very simple, the men wearing their cut short and faces smoothly shaven, and the women wearing only their natural hair hanging loosely down their backs. They are industrious and frugal, aud are accumulating much property. them Much interest is manifested in in the communities where they reside, and their numbers are increasing very fast. Their preachers literally obey the Scripture injauction, and go about preaching without pay or com¬ pensation, expecting to get their board, clothing and the necessaries of life from their converts. fifiiribahjFs Boys, Garibaldi has always boen exceed¬ ingly simple and frugal in his habits. Never a rich man, and often a very poor one, he line not been ashamed to prac¬ tice the most rigid economy. He has been known to break a cigar in two, light one half and return tho other to his cigar-case to sorve upon a future occasion. To the friend who relates 'this story, however, ho presented a whole cigar.

Iticciotti, whom some foolish people have called the gentleman of the fam¬ ily, would is a son of whom many fathers be proud; handsome, generous, of pleasing address and notably coura¬ geous. It was ho who captured the only Ger¬ man staudard which fell into the hands of tho French during the Franco-Prus siau war, and who alterward wrote a graceful letter to the Prussian com m*nder, making light of the exploit. But he is fond of pleasure and society, careless in regard to money matters, and lacks his father's solid republican virtues of frugality and simplicity. For this lack nothing can wholly atone in the eyea of the wise old gen¬ eral; and fond as ho is of the brilliant and popular Iticciotti, he bestows his deepest oopfidenee and affection upon his quieter but more trustworthy son, Menotti, who is unknown to the world, hut who never in his life contracted a debt which he conld not pay.— Youth's Companion. A Scared Indian. The New York Herald correspondent who journeyed in a canoe down the Mis¬ souri with Captain Boyton gives thia humorous incident of the trip: Just beforb we reached the White river we came seated upon a lonely-looking Indian on a sand bar iishi lg. He had fallen asleep and his scarlet robe lay upon the ground lieside him. The cap¬ tain, bent upon mischief, paddled rap¬ idly toward the drowsy angler, who awoke as the splashing sound struck his ears. The savage cangot eight of the captain in his bleck rubber suit, and rubbed his eyes, evidently to make sure that he was not dreaming. Then, with a shrill yell, he sprang into the shallow water and tried to wade over to the mainland. The sands were too soft, however, and the frightened man be¬ gan to sink. Boy ton advanced to help him ont of his dangerous position, but the nearer he approached the more the Indian screamed and tossed his hands into the air. Finally I had to pry the unfortunate buck out of the quicksand with an oar. As soon as the fellow reached the shore he scampered off with loud cries of terror and disap¬ peared among the Lullberry bushes, for¬ getting rod, line and fishes. This country is never without its evil. Just about the time the fly diaap | pears politics begin to get active.
