Agricultural xispartment. Regarding the dehorning of cattle a Western paper says that experience teaches that the growth of the horn can be stopped by applying a red-hot iron to the horn germ in calves. Permanent pasture lands are the main anchor of agriculture, and the farmers of this country will find this out after a while, as they already have in England, and will commence seeding their land with permanent grasses. The cherry is about the only fruit tree which can be recommended for shade in pastures, along roadsides, as the hardy varieties of cherries are not affected by the tramping of stock or passing of vehicles, which would prove injurious to most other fruit trees. A farmer in Ashby, Mass., writes that he got a tin pan large enough to hold one milking from ten cows, but got less butter from it than he did from the same amount of milk in smaller pans. He asks whether he should have set the pan in water, the temperature of the air being 62 de grees to 65 degrees. Certainly he should have done so. The great se cret of successful dairying, or one of the great secrets, is to withdraw' the animal heat from the milk as soon as possible. A pan, such as is described, seems to- me much less suitable for the purpose than a deep and-narrow can, set to its neck in the water. The latter is more conveniently skimmed and more easily handled, cools more rapidlv, and exposes a larger propor tion of the milk to the influence of the water and less to that of the air; this is better, as the temperature of the water is uniform. To answer further questions of the same correspondent: We let our milk stand 24 hours (all the time in the water;) and we prefer to keep it lower than 62 degrees. I fancy that 50 degrees would be better, if so cold a spring could be had, and Mr. Swartz in Sweden uses ice-water, at about 40 degrees. The colder the water, the larger the diameter of the can mav be. If the water stands at GO degrees, then a diameter of 8 inch es is large enough. The point is to have the mass of milk cooled as soon as practicable. If it were first passed through a cooler, then the can might be of any size that would not expose too much surface to the air. We hear a great deal about the “an imal heat" of milk, and we do not al ways stop to think that animal heat is exactly the same as any other heat. It is produced by the combustion of a different fuel in a different sort of stove, but as heat it is the same as though it came from an anthracite fire. Fresh, cooled milk, raised again to blood-heat, bv being set over a fire, would be as badly off as though it still retained its “animal” heat. Food for the brain and nerves that will invigorate the body without in toxicating, is what we need in these days of rush and worry. Parker’s Tonic restores the vital energies, soothes the nerves, and brings good health quicker than any thing you can use. 15 lm. A Heavy Pear. The Rawkinsville News says: “We saw a pear last Saturday, grown on Mr. William Henderson's place, that w-eighed one and a half pounds. This, we think, is the same species of Mr. B. W. Ftissell’s fine pear. Mr. Fussell’s have just commenced ripening and are very large and delicious. One week ago the tree contained over 600, and it was stripped of this number by the storm in June. Mr. Fussell’s pear has no name, but we think the Au tumn Prolific an appropriate one, and such we shall call it when we have occasion to mention it. It far sur passes the Le Conte in size and flavor, and ripens at a season when fruit is in demand. ^ “When will the average citizen stop spending half of his hard earnings on cigars and tobacco?

Value of Poultry Manure. Henry Stewart says, in the New York Times, that every farmer values the manure from the poultry house for its use on corn, cabbage, and oth er field and garden crops. He knows how it is immediately taken up by these crops, changing the pale color to a deep green, and starting a luxu riant growth. It is one of the problems of the art of fertilizing that certain manures exert an effect quite dispro portionate to their supposed fertili zing value. Thus, in 100 pounds of poultry manure there are 2 pounds of phosphoric acid, 1 pound of potash, and 2± pounds of nitrogen; in 100 pounds of fresh wood ashes there are 6 pounds of potash and 3 pounds of phosphoric acid; in 100 pounds of plas ter there are 75 to 90 pounds of sul phate of lime in all, 5 pounds of phos phoric acid, 2 1-4 pounds of nitrogen, 7 pounds of potash, 40 pounds of sul phuric acid, and 45 pounds of lime. Quite a poor and cheap fertilizer wou Jd be as rich as this, but the effect of this home-made mixture is often superior to that of a high grade, cost ly fertilizer. . The reason is not hard to find. It is that these substances are soluble and in an active condition, and furnish the crops with plant food suitable to their needs and readily available. This is a most important point that should be well understood, for it lies at the very bottom of the art and practice of manuring. Mr. A. Fueger, GOG Walnut street, St. Louis, Mo., suffered for two years with lumbago, and was confined to his bed for several months. He was entirely cured by the use of St. Ja^ cobs Oil, which he says is also the best cure for sprains and all other pains.

Men who are intellectually great are not always as physically well de veloped as Prince Bismark, who is the tallest, and probably also the most stalwart, of first-class European statesmen. On one of the posts of the door of the study at Fredrichsrulie the height of each member of the imperial chancellors’s family was solemnly registered on the last dav of 1880 by the chancellor himself; and'the penciled inscriptions, which are still to be seen there, areas follows, the mea surements being given in centimetres: Prince Bismarck, 6 feet 2 inches; Her bert, 6 feet If inches,'•Bill (Count Wil liam), 6 and 4 inches; Rantzau (Count Rantzau, the prince’s son-in-law, 5 feet 104 inches; Johanna (Princess Bismarck,) “standing on tip-toe,” 5- feet 84 inches; Marie (Countess Ran- tzau), 5 feet 8 inches. If we put aside J £ 1 . e m ^ i e n d e 1 ( as unworthy of credence the ungal lant assertion that Princess Bismarck cheated the measure, we find that the average height of the six members of the family is slightly over 5 feet 11 inches.

C., Oct. 13.—Tl:e cot ton picking machine of the Mason Cotton Harvester Company, invented by C. T. Mason, of this place, was test ed to-day in a field in the presence of the committees from the New York Cotton Exchange and the Charleston exchange and representatives of the State Agricultural Department. The machine picked cotton at the rate of 180 pounds per hour without injuring the bolls or plants. The general opin ion of those present is that the ma chine is correct in its principle, does fairly good work now and can be made completely successful.

After that you can put in your cultiva tors. But don’t lay aside the harrow as long as you can use it. This is the method now followed by many and I think it is the very best. I harrowed corn last year when a foot high with the flexible j harrow, much I believe, to its advan- j tage. Once over with an ordiharv ! rigid harrow will not do as effective i work as with the cultivator, but j tne ninety-tooth flexible harrow cuts ten feet and every one of ninety teeth makes a mark, which are therefore one and one-third inches apart.”—M.

Lincolnton News: The statement that there is, within one hundred and fifty yards of the courthouse in Lin colnton, a warm spring gushing up boldly from a fissure in a solid rock mass, will no doubt astonish our cit izens; but this statement is true, nev ertheless, and we may suppose it has thus run on for centuries past. Its character was accidently discovered last week by Mr. J. D. Colley, but its distinctive mineral qualities, and it is certainly mineral, have not yet been exactly ascertained. It has a slightly sulphurous taste, but is not at all disagreeable; it probably also con tains lime and feels peculiarly smooth to the tongue. It will be duly analyz ed in the next few days. Those who have drunk the water pronounce it, beyond all question, sanitary. Good Results in Every Case. D. A.
