AGRICULTURE. RAISING COWS FOR THE DAIRY. —In the best dairy regions of the country but very few calves are raised. Farmers who make a business of producing milk for supplying the city market or for the manufacture of butler and cheese generally state that it is more economical to keep up the size of their herds by purchasing cows than by raising them. f l hey want to sell all the milt they can, and if they are obliged to feed calves, a large proportion of that pro duced is consumed at home. Land IU re gions long devoted to dairying is oo costly to devote to raising stock, and the majori ty of dairy farmers deeire to sell their cows when they begin to fail in their yield of milk, and to purchase those that are young and promising. The demand f.w good milk cows is increasing rapidly, and the prices paid for them are higher from year to year. As a rule a cow three or four years old. in ordinary flesh, but heavy with calf, or with a calf by her side, will sell for more than a steer of the same age that will weigh several hundred pounds more and is in a condition of fatness to furnish mess beef. The expense of raising the latter is much less than that of the former. In a part of the country where many animals are raised for beef, female calves sell for less than males and are iu smaller demand, li will take less food to support them till a given age, owing to their smaller size, ihe steers must be well fed on corn in oider to fit them tor the market. The cows, how ever, if designed for the dairy, will require no mere expensive food than grass and hay, Again, the market for dairy cows is nearer the bomes of Western farmers thau that for beef cattle. By selecting bulls of a family of shorthorns or Ayrshlres, noted for the milking qualities, there is no more expense involved in breeding cattle for the dairy than for the slaughter-pen. The males can be raised for beef, and the females for pro ducing miik. If it is the case, as It is not likely to be, that cattle bring more for slaughtering than for dairy purposes, the cows can be fattened. MIXING O? CORN. —It p t >ears from ex periments that while some appearance of mixing in two sorts of corn takes place the first year, the complete crossing is appar ent only the second year in the crop grown from these mixed ears. Every fanner is familiar with the variegated ears where two sons of two colors are plauted near each other. Frof. Beal reports an experiment where he plauted an early, eignt rowed yellow dent, add through it a single row of yellow flint. Before flowering, the tassels ot the hint corn were all cut off, making impregnation by the dent on this row a ne cessity. There was no trace on the ears of the flint of any crossing with the dent the first}ear. The next year, however, the flint corn showed ail gradations from the dent to the flint. He reports some va rieties as being less affected with crossing than others, and names the red or brown varieties as having the greatest fixity of type, which accords with our own obser vations. To prove the influence of climate and locality in changing com without cros sing, he says that the King Philip corn went to Kansas and iD three years was sent back well marked with dent. A CRACKED Loot can only be repaired by new growth troui the coronet, where the new horn is secreted. Horn consists of precisely the same elements as hair, aud is really a solid, compact form of hair growth the hair of the skin ends where the growth of horn begins, and this goes on downward to repair the constant wear at the sole of the liocf-crust. But a crack in the hoof will always extend up into the new and weak growth because the horn is expanded by the pressure of the horse's weight upon the foot. To prevent this the sides of the crack must be supported and held together by some means. This may be doße by boring holes through the horn on eacb side of the crack and putting htrse shoe nails through aud drawing the hoof together and clinching the ends of these nails on each side. The top of the crack thould then be burned across so as to wblitei ate the epeding aud form a solid starting place for the new growth. The hoof should be kept s >ft and elastic by frequent (Ireis'ngs of equal parts of glycerine and water.

MIXED FEED. —One of the points in fav or of the much praised ensilage is that aaimals eat it with relish. No food, how ever rich it may be m rood elements, will prove profitable if the farm stock cannot be made to take to it kindly It is on this account that a mixing of feed has been so successful. Sameness palls upon the ap petre —a change of diet encourages and sharpens it. A few roots cut, or better, pulped and given to the animals, will make them eat the corn feddir or cut straw with ell the greater relish. Try and make a lit tle change in the diet of the animals, even though it be only once a week, with some roots, potatoes, apples, etc.; it will pay. WHEN young poultry have been allowed to contract the habit of roosting in the trees, no time should be lost in breaking them of it. Confinement to the poultry house for a day or two will generally effect a cure. Get your dust baths ready for winter. Sand and finely-sifted coal ashes, with a pound of sulphur to each bushel of the mixture is the best. This should be put in laige boxes, and kept out of the rain. Whitewash the houses, putting in a gill of crude embolic acid, and a pint of common kerosene oil to each pailful of slacked lime. FABMEKS are often at a loss how to clean an old pork barrel, making it fresh and sweet. We have seen the following plan commented: It is simply to fill the taint ed cask or barrel with fresh earth; let. it stand a couple of days, when this should be emptied out and more earth putin. Af. ter two or three days to make assurance doubly sure, invert the barrel and bnrn un der it some bits of cloth saturated with so lutions of sulphur or brimstone. OF all the poultry breeding the rearing of the goose in favorable situations is said to be the least troublesome and most pro fitable. It is not surprising, therefore, that the trade has of late years been enor mously developed. COVERING the bottom of a bin with a thick layer of powdered charcosl will help materially to preserve the flavor of pota to* and prevent sprouting. WIT AND HUMOR.

And he only strikes too heavy a load on payday. The Chen*-Board. The game of four-handed chess rapidly growing into favor and becoming a marked feature inctub play. The points embraced in this singularly fascinating de partment of the royal game are as follows: Four-handed chess is played on a board composed of 160 squares, the extra squares being simply three rows of squares added to each of the four sides of an ordinary chess-board. In other words imagine a board of 14 by 14 rquares, with a block of 9 squares cut out of each corner. Four sets of chessmen are employed, usually colored white, yellow, red and black, and placed on the two outer rows of the addi tional squares, one set being placed on a side of the board. The two light-colored sets, white and yellow, are placed opposite to each other, each being arranged like the white men on an ordinary chess-board. Similarly the red and black men are ar ranged, each being placed like the black men on an ordinary chess-board. The players opposite each other are partners and the moves are made as in the ordinary game, with, however, certain restrictions. Castleing is not allowed. The pawns can never move more than one square at a time. Pawns queen when they reach the royal line of an adversary, which can only be done by repeated captures. When pawns of partners meet one can jump over the other into the square beyond. When a pawn reaches the partner's royal line it still remains a pawn, but then has ihe power to move or capture backwards, and backwards only, until, should 6uch be its destiny, it either becomes a queen by backwardly capturing itself into the ad versary's royal line, or reach the original second row from which it started. A pawn that is on the buck track should be marked in some way. A king ean go lreely in among his partner's men. It is not allowed to make a move which would leave the partner's king in check. The players move in rotation from right to left. If one player is checkmated or stalemated be loses his turn to play, but his men are not then subject to capture, but are like dead pieces of wood on the board. A player, however, can be released from checkmate or stalemate and then move as before. It is not allowed to take any of the men of a player on the move in which such a player is liberated. The game ends when two partners receive their quietus either by checkmate or stalemate. Vic tory, however, is only achieved when both adversaries are checkmated. If one part ner checkmated and the other only stale mated, the game is drawn. THE overstocking of land is one of the surest and quickest ways of ruining pas tures. It is an every day thing with many farmers, who cannot be made to believe that they are getting the full benefit of a pasture unless the grass is eaten off a little faster than it has time to grow; consequent ly, sll who put this method into practice always have bare pastures and poor cattle. SOME large and important sales of Shrop shiredown sheep, have recently been held in England. The sales were largely atten ded and highly sucoessful. Some of the most famous rams brought astonishing pri ces, one of them going at 410 guineas ($2050). Prices ranged all the way down to a few dollars per head. A REMARKABLE BTATKMKNT.8 T ATKMKNT. The Unusual Experience of a Promi nent Man Made. Public. The following article from the Demo crat and Chronicle , of Roohestur, N. Y., is of so striking a nature, and emaoalcf from so reliable a source, that it is here with re-published entire. In addition t the valuable matter it contains, it will be found exceedingly interesting. To the Editor of the Democrat and Chronicle : Silt:—My motives for tho publication ot the most uuusual statements which follow are, first, gratitude for the fact that I have been saved from a most horrible deuth, ami secondly, a desire to warn all who read this statement against some of tho most de ceptive influences by which they have ever beeu surrounded. It is a fact that to-day thousauds of people are within a foot of the grave and they do not kuow IU To tell how I was caught away from Just this position anil to warn others against ncarlng it, are my objects iu this communication. On the first day of Juue 1881, I lay at my residence in this city surrounded by my friends and waiting tor death. Heaven only knows the agony L thou endured, for words can never describe it. And yet, if a few years previous, any one had told me that I was to be brought so low, aud by so terrible a disease, 1 should huvc scolTed at the idea. 1 had always been uncommonly strong and healthy, had waghed over 200 pounds atul hardly knew, in my own expe rience, what pain or sickness were. Very many people who will read this statement realize at times that they are unusually tired and cannot account for it. They feel dull and iudotinite pains iu various parts of the body aud do not understand It. Or they are exceedingly hungry one day and entirely without appetite the next. This was just the way 1 felt when the relentless malady which had fastened itself upon me first began. Still 1 thought it was noth ing ; that probably I hail taken a cold which would soon pass away. Shortly after this I noticed a dull, aud at times neuralgic, pain iu my head, but as it would come one day and be gone the next, I paid but Utile attention to it. However, uiy stomach was out of order and my food often failed to digest, causing at times a great incon venience. Yet I had no idea, even as a physician, that these things meant anything serious or that a monstrous disease was be coming fixed upon me. Candidly, 1 thought i was suffering from Malaria and so doctored myself accordingly. But 1 got no better. 1 next' noticed a peculiar color and odor alxmt the fluids I was pass ing—also that there were large quant ties one day and very little the next, and that a persistent froth and scum appeared upou the surface, and a sediment settled in the bottom. And yet I did not realize my danger, for, Indeed, seeing these symptoms continually, I finally became accustomed to them, and my suspicion was wholly dis armed by the fact that lhad no pain in the affected organs or in their vicinity. Why 1 should have been so blind I cannot un derstand. There is a terrible future for all physical 'ect, and impending dauger usu&llj '• rs a person to his seuses even tliougt it .y then be too late. I realized, at last / critical condition and aroused my f-[ .o ov-rcome it. And, Oh 1 how hare A i onsulted the best medical skill in tl. ... I visited all the prominent miuera. opnngs in America and traveled from Maine to California, tsiill 1 grew worse. No two physicians agreed as tc my malady. One said 1 was troubled witJt spinal irritation; axother, nervous pros tration ; ano'lier. malaria; another, dys pepsia; another, heart disease; another, general debility; auother, congestion of th< base of the brain ; aud so on through a long list of common diseases, the symptoms oi all of which 1 really had. In this way several years passed, during all of whict time 1 was steadily growing worse. My condition had really become pitiable. Th slight symptoms I at first experienced were developed into teriible and constant disor ders—the little twigs of pain had grown tc oaks of agony. My weight had been re duced from 207 to 130 pounds. My life vas a torture to myself and friends. ] could retain no food upon my stomach,and lived wholly by injections. I was a living mass of pain. My pulso was uncontrolla ble. In my agony 1 frequently fell upon the floor, convulsively clutched the carpet and prayed for death. Morphine had little or no effect in deadening the pain. For six days and nights I had the death-pre monitory hiccoughs constantly. My urine was filled with tube casts and albumen. 1 was struggling with Bright's Disease of the Kidneys in its last stages. Wnile suffering thus I received a call from my pastor, the Kev. Dr. Foote, rector of Bt. Paul's Church, of this city. I feit that it was our last interview, but in the course of conversation he mentioned a rem edy of which I had heard much but had oever used. Dr. Foote detailed to mc the many remarkable cures which had come under his observation, by means of this remedy, and urged me to try it. As a practicing physician and a graduate of the schools, 1 cherished the prejudice both na tural aud common with all regular prac titioners, and derided the idea of any me dicine outside the regular channels being the least beneficial. So solicitous, howev er, was Dr. Foote, that 1 finally promised I would waive my prejudice and try the remedy he so highly recommended. I be gan its use on the first day oi June aud took it according to din qtions. At first it sickened me ; but this 1 thought w h s a good sign for one in my debilitated condition. J continued to lake it; the sickening sensa tion departed and I was able to retain fooc upon my stomach. In a few days! noticec a decided change for the better as alst did mv wife ahd friends. Mv hiccouirln eeaseu ana I experienced less pain than formerly. I was so rejoiced at this im proved condition that, upon what I had believed but a few days before was my dying bed, I vowed, in the presence of my family and friends, should 1 recover I would both publicly and privately make known this remedy for the good of human ity, wherever and whenever I had an op portunity. I also determined that I would give a course of lectures iu the Corinthian Academy of Music of this city, stating in full the symptoms aud almost hopelessness of my disease and the remarkable means by which I have been saved. My improve ment was constant from that time, and in less than three months I had gained 20 pounds in flesh, became entirely free from pain and I believe 1 owe my life and pres ent condition wholly to Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure, the remedy which I used. Since my recovery I have thoroughly re-investigated the subject of kidney difl culties aad Bright's disease, and the truths developed are astonishing. I therefore state, deliberately, and as a physician, that I believe more than one half the deaths which occur in America are caused by BriyhCs Disease ot the Kidneys. This may sound like a rash statement, but I am prepared to fully verify it. Bright's Dis ease has no distinctive symptoms of its own, (indeed, it often develops without any pain whatever in the kidneys or their vl cir? v.)vr has the symptoms of nearly eve: v c b-.- :rvwa complaint. Hundreds of people d v 0:ly, whose burials are au thorized b;- * Dhvslcian's certificate of "Heart Disease'" "Apoplexy," "Paraly ■la," "Spinal Complaint," "Rheumatism/ "Pncumoala," and other common com plaints, when in reality it was Brighfc's Disease of the Kidneys. Few physicians, and fewer people, realize the extent of this disease or its dangerous and insidious nature. It steals into the system like a thief, manifests its presence by the com monest symptoms, and fastens itself upon the constitution before the victim is aware. It is nearly as hereditary as consumpti >, quite as common ami fully as fatal. Eu tire families, inheriting it from their an cestors, have died, and yet none of the number knew or realized ttie mysterious power which was removing thera. In stead of common symptoms it often shows none whatever, hut hriugs death suddenly, and as such is usually sunoosed to be neari uiseuse AS one who has suffered, and knows by hitter experience what lie •uyH, 1 implore every ouo who reads these words not to neKlecl the slightest symp toms of Kidney difficulty. Curtain agony and possible death will be the sure result of sueli neglect, and no one can afford to buzzard such chances. 1 aui aware tiiat such an unqualified statement as this, coming from me, known us 1 am throughout the entire land as a practitioner audleUurer, will arouse the surprise and possible animosity of the medical profession and astonish all with whom I am acquainted, but 1 make the foregoing statements based upon fuels which I am prepared to produce and truths which I can substantiate to the letter. The welfare of (hose who may possibly lie sufferers such as I was, is an ample In l dueement for me to take the step 1 have, and if 1 can successfully warn others from the dangerous path in which I ouce walked, 1 am willing to endure all professional and personal cousequenccs.

Among the rare treasures iu the posses Bioß of Queen Victoria is a very curious needle that was made at the famous fac tory in Buckinghamshire. The needle is a miniature model of the Roman column of Trajan, but the scenes it depicts are not in the military exploits of Kuman emper ors, but some of the leading events in the lite of Queeu Victoria herself. There is one special interest, representing the prin cess as a young maiden at Tunbridge Wells, where, in simple girlish attire, with a straw hat shauing the sweet, earnest tace, she is receiving the water from the hands of an old woman, to whom she seems talking veiy pleasantly. Anoiher scene' is the coronation at. Westminster Abbey, bearing date of June 28, 1833 In this scene are clearly depicted en or twelve figures. Another scene is the queen's marriage, showing the royal bride and the prince consort, with the date, Monday, Febuary 10, 1840. The figures in all these scene i are so ex tremely small that they can be scarc-ly made out with the naked eye, but by the aid of a magnifying glass, they appear clearly cut and beautifully distinct. This wonderful needle can also be opened, and it contains several others, all of the same form, and ail are adorned with miniature figures in relief—each scene portraying some notable event m the life of England's noble and virtuous queen.
