The Agricultural Schools of
France.—The French schools of agri
culture are glacetl under tb* authority
of tVfi Minister of UoriiflUree an?l Agri
culture. They receive bf*i
and free pupils. Th'<f Candidates for ad
mission must be «ighteoo years of ftjzfc,
Frenchmen by birth, or naturalized;
and if they do not hold the diploma of
Bachelor of Science, they must undergo
an examination. The studies, practical
and theoretical, extend over two years,
and comprise a course of chemistry, en
gineering, sylviculture, viticulture, hor*
ticulture, and agricultural book-keep
ing. The practical includes the use of all
tools, implements and machinery ; the
planning and execution of all farm oper
ations ; practice in linear drawing and
surveying; manipulations of the labora
tory, analysis of soils and manures. —
The terms for boarders are 750 francs a
year; for externs and iree pupils, 250
francs. These last undergo no examin
ation, and are admitted only by a sp>
eial permission of the Minister. For
eigners are also admitted by permission
of the Minister. All the pupils who
pass satisfactory examinations, at the
close of their studies recieve a diploma,
and to the first two on the list, gold or
silver medals are awarded.
your horse, it is important to get one
that fits him, as both the animal and
yourself will thus be saved much an
noyance. The Harness and Carriage
Journal says :
“The plan adopted in the West, which
we are assured by men who have been
long in the collar business, does not in
jure the coliar in the least, Is to dip it
in water until the leather is thoroughly
wet, then put it on the horse, secure the
hames firmly, keeping it there until it
becomes dry. It is all the better if
heavy loads are to be drawn, as that
causes the collar to be more evenly fit
ted to the neck and shoulder. If pos
sible, the collar should be kept on from
four to five hours, when it will be per
fectly dry and retain the same shape ev
er afterward; and as it is exactly fitted
to the form ot the neck, will never pro
duce chafes or sores on the horse’B
neck.”
Orchards and Poultry. —An ex
perienced orchardist says:
'\ he public has yet to learn the full
advantage of keeping p ultry. Few
seem to appreciate what they may do
among trees in n orchard of a quarter
of an acre, whore, they may be kept by
a picket fence four or five feet high,
putting in say 125 fowls, and observe
the result, lie will avoid the annoy
ance in the garden, of which so many
complain, while they will work among
the screes, doing just what is needed ;
keeping the ground well cultivated, and
destroying everything that can injure
the‘fruit trees, in the shape of bugs,
worms, or other insects, lay a large
number of eggs, which are a cash article,
to say nothing of the *chickens, which
will pay for raising at the present time.
I have tried it, and know it is so.
I have about 100 fowls, which have
worked admirably among my trees, keep
ing the ground in good condition, keep
ing off the insects, and promoting the
growth of the orchard. I am satisfied
that we have yet hi learn the full bene
fit which may be derived from the pro
per management of fowls, and it is quite
possible that the method I have sug
gested may offer the best way of getting
your apple orchards into bearing con
dition again.
How Much Bacon was Consum
ed Last Season, and What it Costs
Us.—There is no possible reason why
the South cannot make its own supply
of meat. There is no section of coun
try which will not produce the hog, nor
does the climate effects prevent it being
properly killed and perfectly cured.—
Our agricultural journals, which very
rightly cry “plant more corn,” should
also add, “ raise more hogs, cure your
own meat and save your money.” From
one of our exchanges we find that the
South alone spent in meat last season
*30,000,000, or counting last year’s
crop of cotton to have averaged SIOO
per bale, it took 300,000 bales of cotton
to pay for meat alone.
We have never heard but one single
argument used by planters to explain
why they could not raise hogs, and that
was that the freedmen stole the stock,
having a liking for other peoples meat.
We cannot see any strength in this line
ot argument. Just as the freedman is
interested in his master’s cotton crop, so
so could he be made personally liable
for the hog crop.
What however is the truth, is that
the corn crop is utterly neglected, and
of course, where there is no grain there
can be no pork.
Should the present European war con
tinue, which would be likely to enhance
the price of all provisions, we should
think our plauters would take every
measure to insure them a stock of meat
made by themselves.— Savannah. AVira

KC bn Treating.
THE UNTAMED AMERICANS SOCIAL
T 8 I U q,
s cystom causes more
genuine suprise and amusements among
tntvefiitfg fhreigtfefc*' than tKat which is
known iu our saioons as “ treating
consisting in the entertaiument ot two
or more with refreshments for which
one volunteers to pay. It is a pure
Americanism rmd-attvrvcT the republic
it is ’as common as in Europe it is un
known. Tliere is probably no minute
of any day in the year when two
hundred citizens of Chicago are not
guzzling something stronger than water
at somebody else’s expense.
The casual meeting of two men who
have exchanged a word together is
a signal for both instantly to exclaim,
“Come —let’s nave something \ n and
for both to dive down into the nearest
subterranean cavity below the sidewalk.
The one who spoke first, usually insists
upon “ paying the shot ” —the word
“ shot ” being a metaphorical reference
to the deadiy character of the contents
usually taken into the stomach. If two
old frieuds meet, the regular thing to
say first is, “ Let’s drink to old times,”
and the resident must invariably “ treat ”
T fo* Mi ze l 'upon IT is' ac
quaintances as often as possible, take
them to a saloon, and give them a com
plicated stand up drink at the bar.
If there is anything absurder than
this habit, we are unable to put our
fiugcr on it. Men do not always “treat”
one another to car-tickets because they
happen to meet on the same seat. We
never saw a man take out his pocket
book on encountering an acquaintance
and say -Ah, George! Delighted to see
you! Do take a few postage stamps!
It’s my treat!’’ Do men have a mania
for paying each other’s board-bills!—
And is drinking together more “ social ”
than eating together, or sleeping to
gether ? A
continents of Europe, of Asia and Afri
ca without seeing a man, except a Yan
kee, offer to “treaty” and tHe/Freneh
men are quite kteiaf ennfigh, but, whefa
they turn into a case to sip their wine
and brandied coffee together, each man
pays for his own. When two Germans,
long separated, meet, they will turn into
an adjacent beer-cellar, sit dow, and
drink lager and eat pretzels and chat,
hut when they part again each man set-
I ties his own score independently. So in
Italy. The Italians are proverbially
I merry and proverbially generous, but
every man pays for his own wine, ma
caroni and cigars. They never go into
each other’s pocket-books in the sacred
name of friendship. They would as
soon think of transferring to each other
their washer-woman’s bill.
The preposterous fashion of “treat
ing is responsible for the terrible
drunkenness in America. There would
be as little need of temperance societies
and as little work for the Good Temp
lars as there is in Germany,'France, and
Italy, if this pernicious and insiduous
habit was abolished. It is, take it all,
the most ridiculous, the mdst unreason
able, and the most pestilent custom that
ever laid its tyrannical hand on civilized
human beings.
Mr. Brown, a minister of Jay coun
ty, I rid., had so many “calls” that he
had to leave that part of the State.—
There were calls in four directions for
him to act as father to four nice little
babies, but he preferred not to. Some
ministers are so modest.
