The mad itch in cattle is said to arise from their eating indigestible substances, such as the woody fiber of cornstalks after the juices have been extracteJ from them by hogs, and the feeding of hogs and cattle together in the West is given as a reason for its prevalence there. A German gardener 13 reported a3 saying that he d by drawing a knife i running to pcc through one-halt of the stem to which i Die heal is attached. This weakens ; the plaut by depleting it of its sap, ' yet leaves enough to keep it fresh and growing for another week or two. j Hens should not be allowed to dis- tuib the settersjby lay ing in their nests, i Broken eggs and a bad hatch will re- I suit I f the setting hen cannot be iso- lated in any way, cover her with an j empty coop, basket or box, being j careful to have her come otTevery day ' for feed, water, exercise, and dust-bath, j Large quantities of parsnip feed for i pork are made by the thrifty farmers ! of the Channel Islands, and a corres- I pondent of the Toionto Globe, speak- j ing from a whole season's experience, : stales that though less firm than that fattened on barley, them eat is infinite ly sweeter and more delicate in flavor. : He further recommends this root for , tattle and human kind. To raise good tomatoes, says an ex- i cellent authority, take away a wheel- , barrow of earth from where ea vine is to stand, fill with half soil and half coal ashes and therein set out the plant. Plants thus treated will bring out neaily double the fiuit of others, and much smoother and larger, in this s"il, though in case of drought the plants require water sooner, and more of it, than those growing in common soil. The analysi.- of hay cut at different pt nods of growth at the Connecticut Experiment Station shows, says the Cufiinhir, that the early cut hay is scarcely better than the later mowed, while the feeding records give no greater actual value to the former. The early cut hay, moreover, is reckon ed to diminish the crop on seventy five acres by some twenty tons on account of shrinkage. This is contra ry to the general 11 ief The Norwegian method of making hay is as follows: The grass, when cut, is hung up on polos to d ry-, where it remains until the wind and sun cure it. The sun does not burn it; on the contrary, it is as bright and green as when growing. In some fields strings of fences arc seen, bearing thin loads of hay, several rods in length. Some farmers plant posts in the fields twelve feet apart, and in the upper part of these posts legs aie inserted about one foot asunder. On these pegs poles are laid, and on them the grass is hung, where it remains until it is thoroughly cured. The result is the very best of hay. The editor of the Southern Planter says : "The other day we met a gen tleman from Alabama, who gave us a piece of information as to ascertaining the age of a horse, after it has passed the ninth year, which was quite new to us, and will be, we arc sure, to most of our readeis. It is this: After the horse is nine years old, a wrinkle comes on the eyelid, at the upper cor ner of the lower lid, and every year thereafter he has one well-defined wrinkle for each vear of his age over nine. If, for instance, a horse has three wrinkles, he is twelve; if four, thirteen. Add the number of wrink les to nine, and you will always get at it. So s:ys tht- gentleman ; and he is confident it will never fail." The horse is an e.rjensire animal to l i Three feeds of oats perlay of four quarts each amount to 137 bushels jer year, worth say $43. I estimate the hay he will consume at $."0 for the same time, shoeing $.", cari 15 at the lowest, interest on his cost (say $150) $10 50, loss by wear increased age and liability to accident and disease $7 giving $1.15 50 as the yearly cost of keeping one horse, from which I should deduct $10 as the val ue of the manure he could make. Many farm horses are kept at half this expense, but even then the cost of keeping six will make a gap in the pro-its. Three good, prompt-stepping horses, will fed and cared for, will do the work of live that are aged, crip pled and debilitated. An exchange tells of a farmer who plants, two or tim e weeks after the crop is put in, a ne w hill of corn every fifteenth row each way. He gives the following explanation as a reason for this: If the weather becomes dry af ter the filling time the silk and tasc ls both become dry and dead. In this condition, if it should become season able, th-i silk revives and renews its growth, but the tassels do not recover. Then, lor want of pollen, the new silk is unable to fill the office fcr which it was designed. The pollen from the replanted corn is then ready to supply silk, and the filling is completed. He says nearly all the abortive ear9, so common in all com crops, are caused by the want of pollen, and he has known ears to double their size in this filling. No f:inrtcr need expect to gather fruit many seasons without manuring the orchard thooughly. This point U often overlooked. Kvery third year a good coat of barn yard manure .should ho applit'd.

Um pji-ren. !.. iSAi MOU NT HOLLY, N.J. ! j I the last few months, says the Aber deen Evening Express, a course of treat ment, having for its object the cure of intemperance, has been carried on in Al?rdeen with apparently most success ful results. Some of our readers may remember that about the beginning of the present year a paragraph appeared in our columns narrating the extraordinary success which attended the efforts of a Chicago physician to cure drunkards of theircravingfoe, spiritous liquors, by the use of a medicine prepared from the red Peruvian bark. Among the persons whose attention was attracted by the story were several gentlemen of influ ence in Aberdeen, to whom it occurred to give the supposed remedy a practical trial. These gentlemen brought the matter under the notice cf Dr. Stewart, of the Ileathcot Hydropathic Establish- ment, at the same time making the pro posal which had suggestea useii to men mindsnamely, that a patient such as wmil.l tti.tUp thft case, so to speak, a test one, should lie rut through a course of treatment at Ileathcot. Tliey were gratified to find Dr. Stewart quite as much interested in the matter as they JSJSKte ici " i;4ia the work was commenced, and little 27 SiSR? ."b A man assessed of no mean share of ac- ; complishments, and yet in the prime of ! life, who for years had been the slave of habits that were surely uragging nun i i ruin, who, indeed, four months ago pre i sented the appearance of a physical and j mental wreck, was, if any could be, a fitting subject ; in point of fact, it was j specially with a view to the reformation I of one whose deplorable condition made I him a subject of pity to all who saw him 1 w-anderinjr alxmt the streets, that the proxsal first took form. The inebriate was conveved to Ileathcot about four months ago, and at once put under the treatment which may be here described. The remedy is said to have been discov ered bv a Dr. IVUniier, of Chicago, and thfi sole inured ient used in its prepara tion is the red Peruvian bark (Chwhnna . known among druggists as as "quill bark," from the fact that it is obtained from twigs about the size of a quill. The bark is reduced to powder, and soaked in diluted alcohol, after which its bulk is lessened by one-half, being strained or evaiorated off. On the first and second days the medicine, which, in its prepared state, bears the technical name of Ejrtrartum Ciixrhonm Jlnhrrr Li iiniilum, is administered to the patient in the proportion of a teaspoonful every j three hours, the tongue being oocasion I ally moistened in the interval between I the doses. On the third day the dose is reduced to a half-sioonful, a quarter I spoonful, and subsequently to fifteen, 1 ten, and five drops. The treatment is ! continued, on an average, for eight days i in extreme cases for thirty days. Eike j the well known preparation derived from ! the same source quinine the Estract i um Cinrhomc is a powerful tonic, but it j xssesses the qualit y w hich quinine lacks, j of inspiring those that partake of it with ; a thorough, and for a time, unconquera ' ble aversion to spiritous liquors. At ; Ileathcot the treatment was. in effect, j as we have indicated, and almost from j its commencement it develojied the most extraordinary results. After the. first i few doses the intense craving for drink ' leoanie less and gradually disappeared ; while in the place of it there was mani i fested a no l-ss marked aversion to the i alcohol, which shortly grew into perfect j disgust. The treatment was continued ; 1 for three months, after the lapse of j i which period the itatient returned to : I Al'vdeen, with a color in his cheeks j I that for years had lieen absent, and such i j health and vigor in his movements as i l could not fail to carry conviction regard- i ing the result of the work. The once ! j decrepit and maudlin drunkard has been i furnished withemployment. Physically ! , the man has lieen retrieved from error. I Emlodenpd ly the success which at- j I leiiiii'fi men euoi is in i iiim wii.iin e, i Stewart and his friends' had another pa I tient subjected to the effects of themed : ieine at Ileathcot. In this ease it was a I commercial man. w hose deplorable desire i for spirituous liquors was fast ruining j him and destroying the happiness of his I family. The case was not so hopelessly bad as the previous one. yet. it called i for remedy, if ever fine did. The man was brought to Ileathcot one day dead drunk, and when the first fierce craving had passed the aversion to spirits as was displayed in the other case resnlted. His wife, in a letter, while expressing in the most earnest manner the iioje that the efforts for her husband's reformat ion would lie rewarded with success, de spaired of the result, knowing from ex IH'rienee, as she said, that the unhappy man would find some means of furnish ing himself with stimulants of some shajie. whether w hiskey, chloral, opium, or chloroform. In a month, however, tfie patient was allowed to visit the city I :!r!;',',sr ikt,:!:;: He is now an altered man. lias no lonr- inar for stron? drink, and hates the very : sijihtof it. Yet another ease. A young I man, whose habits threatened to involve j him in the moral and physical destruc ! tion which in the preceding cases was all ! but reached, was sent up toDeeside, and atter undergoing a fortnight's treatment at the hands of Dr. Stewart, returned to the town freed from the incubus which had been ruining him. These are the instances which up to the present time have lK-en noted by Dr. Stewart, and. in all, it will lie observed, the result has lK-en success, complete and unmistakable success. It would lie rash, however, to view the cures as complete jet. Time will have to show whether the effects of the medicine are lasting, and meanwhile the cases must lie regarded as evidencing only a temiorary cure. Viewed in the latter light, however, the results are, we think, sufficiently interesting to war- j rant o'ir giving publicity to them. In i i. . .. . . . . summon io me experiments conducted at Ileathcot, we are informed by Mr. Kddie, chemist, by whom the bark was prepared for Dr. Stewart, that quantities of the extract have been obtained from : him for other iersons, and that, so far M1 llf ft 1, Ion m I I . .1 1 1 1 .i ..n 41... ...... n.ii,,, n,- i.iuuonic iiiv. anilltr. IxTKi.tK;T ix American Docis. A few months ago I made the acquaint ance of a dog which, I think, is worthy of a place among the dogs and cats and rats and mules that are helping the pa- ne i. if?)-e to ueiermine tne degree ' an Ikindof animal intelligence. "Priest" is a hotel on the way from the Calaver- ' as grove of big trees to the Yosemite. ; In former years, on the arrival of the ! stage, the landlady would send the dog ' to the poultry-yard to catcli chickens for 1 the tourists' dinner. Now, the dog ' "takes time by tle fore-lock.'' The j stage is due, at G o'clock. About 5 o' clock the dog saunters leisurely down j the road till lie meets the stage. He 1 then bounds back to the poultry-yard, ' I catches chickens, bites their heads off ! ! and takes them to the cook ! The num.- 1 ; ber of chickens he kills bears a relation j to the numlier of passengers he saw in , the stage. A gentleman who was stop- j j ping at the hotel for a few days went j ! into the woods one afternoon with a gun. j AVhen he returned, the dog came to him ' j in much excitement to see what game ' I he had taken Finding his hands and ; i his bag empty, the dog ran into the for i est and returned in less than an hour j with a bird, which he gave with an air ' j of compassion to the unskillful hunter. ! at tire.

( Travelling Rocks. Lord Dunra ven contributes the following among other sketches to the Nineteenth Century for July : A strange scene, for example, which came within my observation last year, completely puzzled me at the tune and has done so ev er siuce. I was In Nova Scotia in the fall when one day ray Indian told me that in a c o c c c o c o lake close by all the roclcs were moving on of the water a circumstance which I tno't not a little strange. However, I went to look at the no heard of spectacle, and sure enough there were the rocks appearently all moving ont of the water on to dry land. The lake is of considerable extentbot shallow and fall of great masses of rock. Many of these masses appear to have travelled right out of the lake and are now high and dry some fifteen yards above the margin of the water. They have ploughed deep and regu larly defined channels for themselves. You may see them of all sizes, from blocks of, say, rongnly speatung, six or eight ieet in diameter, down to stones which a man could lift. Moreover you find tbem In vari ous stages of progress, some a hundred yards or more from shore and apparently just be ginning to move; ethers half-way to their destination, and others again as I have said high and dry above the water. In al'. cases there is a distinct groove or furrow which the rock has clearly ploughed for itself. I noticed one particularly good specimen, an enormons block which lay some yards above high-water mark. The earth and stones were heaped up in front of it to a height of three or four teet. There was a deep furrow the exact breadth of the block, leading down directly from it into the lake, and extend ing till it was hidden from my sight by the depth of the water. Loose stones and peb bles were piled np on each side of the groove in a regular, clearly defined line. I thought at first that from some cause or other the smaller stones, pebbles and sand had been dragged down from above, and consequent ly had piled themselves np in front of all the large rocks too heavy to be removed and had left a vacant space or furrow behind the rocks. But if that had been the case the drift of moving material would of course have joined together again to the space of a few yards behind the fixed rocks. On the contrary, these grooves or farrows remained the same width throughout their entire length, and have, I think, undoubtedly been caused by the rock forcing its way np thro' the loose shingle and stones which compose the bed of the lake. What power has set the rocks in motion It is difficult to decide. The action of ice is tbe ouly thing that might explain it ; but how ice could exert itself in that special manner, and why, if ice is the cause of it, it does not manifest that tendency in every lake in every part of the worm, l uo not pretend to comprenena. My attention having been once directed to this, I noticed it in virions other lakes. Unfortunately my Indian only mentioned it to me a day or two before I left the woods. I bad not time, therefore, to make any inves tigation into the snbject. Possibly some of my readers may be able to account forthis, to me, extraordinory phenomenon. li.visixo Quails. A hint that may lie worth taking is furnished by the fol lowing from a Southwestern journal : "I have a pair of old quails (male and fe male') with a family of twenty-seven little quails. Tbey are the most delightful and cu test little things I ever saw. The yonug ones are about half grown; and do so many qneer things that they keep me iu a fit of i merriment a.l the time I am watching ! them. The old ones, as I write, are sitting on each gatepost, whistling their "Bob j White" ca'il in answer to tbeir neighlorB in the woods. I never saw anything half so nice as a quail. I got mine from a lady friend, who commenced raising them last I year by mere accident. One evening, while ; hunting berries in the pasture, she found a i sick quail on ber nest. The quail seemed insensible and almost dead. She took the ; bird, uest and al', home wilh her, and trans planted them in her hen-house. Y ith Kina treatment the bird was well in Ja fer days, and strange as it seems, never showed any desire to leave her new home, but continued sitting, and hatched twenty-lhrce young quails, and raised twenty to be full grown The ialy tells me that this year sue has rais ed over two huudred."J KANSAS FA11MS FREEHOMES I TBE KANSAS PACIFIC HOMESTEAD Is rnhlislie1 hvthel.aml Department of the Kan sas Pacific Kaflway Company, to supply the larire anil increasing demand for information aoont KANSAS, and especially the mairninccnt body of lands granted hy t'onieress in aid of the con struction of its road.

A dressing which is at once agree able, healthy, nil ofTotllftl for preserv ing the hair. f Faded or gray ,(Ntair t soon fr--i'il4fltl restored to if original color, toUh th4 gloss and freshness of youth. Thin hair i thickened, falling hair checked, and baldness often, though not always, cured by its use. Nothing can re Btore the hair where the follicles arc destroyed, or the glands atrophied and decayed. But such as remain can be saved for usefulness by this application. Instead of fouling the hair with a pasty sediment, it will keep it clean and vigorous. Its occasional use will prevent the hair from turning gray or falling off, and consequently prevent baldness. Free from those deleterious sub stances which make some prcpara tlbns dangerous and injurious to the hair, the Vigor can only benefit but not harm it. If wanted merely for a HAIR DRESSING, nothing else can be found so desir able. Containing neither oil nor dye, it does not soil white cam bric, and yet lasts long on the hair, giving it a rich glossy lustre and a grateful perfume. PJtB PARKD BT Dr. J. C.

When thoroughly ii strained through a fine strainer h to clean water. The butter will rise j to the surface quite pure and trani ; rent. The alum coagulates the album I en, the caseine and other foreign ir.it- ter, all of which are retained in tbt i strainer, leaving the butUt perfect! pure and clean and of uniform consist ency. When the butter is sufficiently cy' to be in good working order, i; carefully taken out and thorough; worked, adding to each five pounds 0 butter three ounces of good dairy si! one ounce of clean saltpetre, aui 0: ounce of pulverized white sugar. T: butter is then packed in clean ves and is fit for use. By covering it with stong brine nr. keeping It" in a cool place, it is c!a: cd it will remain sweet for any deshe 1 length 01 time.
