WUT ANIMALS NERO SALT— Prof.
Jvnie* E. Johnson, of Scotland, says that
halt the saline matter of the blood (75 per
cent) con-i-ts of common salt, as this is
partly dissolved every day through the
skin and kidneys, the necessity of con
tinued supplies of it to the healthy body
is sufficiently obvious. The biio also
contains soJa (one of the ingredients of
salt) as a special and indispensable constit
uent, and - of all the cartilages of the
body. Stint the supply of salt and
neither will the bile lie able properly to
assist digestion, nor the cartilages to be
built np again as fast as they naturally
wa-te. It is better to place salt were
stock can hare free access to it than to
giTe it occasionally, in small quantities
They will help themselves to what they
need, if allowed to do so at pleasure,
otherwise, when they become salt hungry
they may take more than is wholesome.
MILK AND BITTES.— Geo. Guides, J B a n
article on the cost of butter, says : I will
quote trom " Tiausactions of the N. Y
State Agricultmal Society for the year
IS6>\ page 160," the Hou. Zadok PrattV
statement of the average quantity of
milk r< quired to make a pound of butter
for four jear.i, ill pound", and in quarts,
a* follows : Iu the year 1857 it took 39
20-1K) pounds, mea-uriiig quarts. In
1858 it took 32 33-103 pounds, measuring
16 1C 100 quirts. In 1859 it took 29
pound*, measuring 14 59-100 quarts, and
in 186) it b-ok only 23 30 lUO jxiunds.
measuring 11 2U-10D quarts,. I think I
am now justified in Buying that to begin
with, a pound of butter co-ts 14 quart
et average milk. It, in answer to tin
estimate, some per- OD shall state that
by high feed and selection of the cows
that give the richest milk a pound of
butter has been made from much less
milk—even one-half this 14 quarts—l
shall n< t dispute the assertion, lut I
c hull remain c-f the opinion that the
ge eral average is as high as I have
stated.
ITEMS FROM "AMERICAS AomcrLTr-
IST." —I wish something could he done to
risk* dwarf apple trees better known.
They CO-t but little, and if tliey w*re
] lanted only a- ornamental shrubs, their
flowers in spring would be quite as satis
lying as those of many things grown for
their flowers alone. Then they hear
fruit, and it is very pies-ant to pick s
dvzen or two apples from a little tree
One of my cordons not three feet long
ripened 23 fine Duchess of Oldenburg#.
Tlie apples were slmsst as close as tbej
could stick. Hind, I don't recommend
these trees for profit, but as affording
pleasure in fruit growing.
Young lambs or calves may be pastur
ed if necessary, but it is a mon costly
economy to turn horses or cows on to
newly sown clover or grass, or to newh
mown fields. But considering that the
fields are in danger of becoming (winched
while sodden with rain by even the light
est hoofs, it will be found cheapest in the
end to keep sll stock off from the fields to
ue mown next season.
Many of us must turn over a new letf.
We must make our land cleaner, dryer,
and richer. We must get rid of stsgusut
water, kill the weeds, and mellow tbetnil.
We must keep better stock and feed it
more liberally, and thus make more and
otter manure. We must grow more and
oetter grass.
In England, Rammer fallowing as a
uii ana ot enriching land has been pretty
well abandoned. Land is high and meat
in great demand, and it-pays better to
keep a large ainonnt of sbtck, and bu)
American oil-cake, cat ton seed cake, anil
corn, to feed out, and make a great quan
tity of rich tnannfe, thna to adopt the
Blow method of enriching the land by fal
lowing. They have also another ad van
tage over us. They can bay artificial
tnannrea at something like what they are
worth. The time will come when we can
do so here, and then we shall use them
in enormous quantities.
It I were a dairyman, I should not only
feed all the grain and bran I could afford
to buy, but I should keep a sharp lookout
to see if a few tons of artificial manure
could not sometimes l>e obtained at rea
sonable rates. Kninlr (sulphate of potash)
and nitrate of soda onght to be sold here
for about the same price as in Eugland,
and Ido not see why mineral super phos
phate (from the Charleston phoephaug)
cannot be manufactured at such a price
that we can afford to use it.
SCADLAWAO STOCK.—IT is not at all
uncommon to hear a farmer declure t) at
there is no profit in k- eping fine cattle ;
that it would not pay him to purchase a
good sliort-liorn bull at say 8500 where
with to improve his herd. Let us se
how this thing figures up. He raises ten
steers of what the drover denominates
the ecallawag sort, and sells them at
three or four years old, or possibly he
feeds them six years, when they realize
four cents per pound on 800 pounds
w igbt which is eqi al to 832 per head or
8320. It is safe to say that the cost of
these cattle will not bo less than the
price received, so that there will be no
profit to the Jeed r, if there is no loss,
Another farmer raises ten grade short
horn steers, whieh at three years old are
sold at eight certs a pound, and weigh
1,600 pounds. Tiieir mom y value is
81)280. They may have cost §B4O to
feed, which i* double tha coat of the
seallawag*, and then there is a profit of
?M'. This will represent a small-part
only of the pain nr.sdc by the use of a
tlKimiubhnii boll; for at least ho may
lx cxfiectod to sire '25 eMlres per annum
during six or seven rears, and his aer- j
vices will thus l>e found worth ivt any
rate nol less than tW,t*t> to Sl.O#* 1 on
this basis. Here is nothing counted to
his credit but the simple profit on beef
alone, and this is Iva-ed on the tangible
slid stable fonndation of a market report.
There is naught extenuated aud naught
set down in hopes wliioh may or tuay not
U realised, Some fanners have said j
that this result is bopelcta for them,
that they can not expect to gain one |
cent |*er j*otiud extra irom a drover for
a bettor quslitv of stock. It is true th .t
thee are inch farmers, and that they
ay this, hut it is strange it this is not u
prejudice born of a want of energy aud
business tact. How cau beef differ in
this respect from wind or pork, butter
or cheese, or corn or wheat, all of wloeh
tiring prices exactly in a ratio with their
several qualities Drovers who come
across such men will "fool them to the
too of their bent," undoubtedly, and
will peranade them that good stock has
no more value than poor, if possible ;
but it is hard to believe that iu this ago
of Mtrtptprn such a farmer couh' U>
i found, "it is naught, it is naught,
i saith the buyer, but when he has gone
' his way, then he bousteth aud drovers
ire ( ften such buyers, but it is a farro
j er'a own fault if such a buyer ever had
a chance to txiast over a bargain of this
sort made with liim.

EHC.RAMMATIC LrrTXEa.—lt has been
said that, if heavy postage produced es
says, cheap postage makes epigrams. But
the latter were nt wanting in the very
earliest days. Nothing could be more
epigrammatic than the note sent by one
Irish chief to another; "Pay me tribute,
or else ." To which the equally epi
grammatic answer was: " I owe you none,
and if Ot this sort were the notes
between Foote's mother and Foote.
"Dear Sam—l'm in prison. Yours, E.
F.xite " The old lady was under arrest
for debt. The son's answer was: " Dear
mother—So am I. Yours, S. Foots."
And again, the letters between old Mr*.
Uarrck and young Edmund Kean: "Dear
\lr. Kean— You can't play Abel Drngifer.
Yours, etc." To which intimation Ed
mnnd wrote back: "Dear Madame—l
ICDOW it. Yours, E. K." Instances irmr
now- and then where a joke has been play
ed, the fun of which was to make a man
pay heavy postage for very unnecessary
information. When Collins, the artist.
WHS once with some friends, one of them
resisted every attempt to induce him to
stay to supper. lie withdrew, and the
friends in council over their banquet re
solved that the sulky guest should be
punished. Accordingly on the following
day Collins sent hiin a folded sheet ot
foolscap, ia which was written : "After
you left we had stout and oysters." The
receiver uaderstood what was meant, but
he was equally rvanlved to have revenge.
Accordingly, biding his time, he trans
mitted, iu a feigned hand to Collin*, a
letter in which the painter read only,
" Had you ?" Therewith the jke seemed
at an end ; but Collins would Lave the
ln-t word. He waited and waited till the
tiling was almost torg<<tteu, and then the
writer of the Inst query opened a letter
me morning, in which he had the satis
faction of finding an answer to it in the
words, '"Yes, we had." Wo cann-t dis
miss the subject without esprea-ing our
regret that we are unable to remember
the name of that British admiral who,
'fter achieving a glorious victory at se.-t.

which there were only these or similar
words"Beat the enemy; to<k, sunk,

BAD FOR HIM.— It is dangerous to live
in a country that is too prolific—Santa
Barbara, for example. Any place sub
ject to a catastrophe like the following
should be avoided as a residence. A
singular accident recently occurred at
Santa Barbara, by which one Mr. Short,
nearly lost his life. As he was working
ou a side bill on his place an immense
watermelon, weighing eighty sixpouuds,
broke loose from the vine, and came
thundering down the hill iu his direction.
He endeavored to escape from its track,
but was prevented by becoming entan
gled iu the vines. On came the meloD
with fearful velocity, and striking Mr.
Short, threw him to' the earth, and rolled
over Lis prostrate body. By the most
singular fort one he escaped with hia life,
and with only a severe injury to his legs.

A CALIFORNIA JRDOE'a DILEMMA.— The
I Vallegn (Cut ) Chronic! * relates the fol
i lowing : A lawyer of this city, whom.
! not to mention any nainox, we will call
; Judge C.. got into a very amusing pre
dicament yesterday. A woman, whose
I l.uthand had been sentenced for misde
meanor to a term in the Countv Jail, ap
peared in one of our Courts with three
small children at her heels, and begged
his honor to have her better half re
lotsed, urging that sho wa destitute
and knew not bow to feed her children
c.r herself while he was in prison. The
Court assured the woman of its inability
to help her in the matter, and referred
her to Judge C., who was present. A
the I tt r |ieron had secured her lms
I Kind's conviction, the womaa thought
that he conld abo procure Ids pardon,
and was therefore pinch confounded
when he, too, told her that the tlung
couldn't !>e accomplished: "Well," she.
ejaculated, half despondinglv, half re
signed. "if yon won't do that, you'll
have to keep these young ones until hi"
time is out for I've got nothiug t feed
'em on." The Judge thought the mat*
ter a good joke until he started to leave
the office, when the woman told her lit
tle blessings to "go along with the gen
tlemau, children." The little cherubs
were obedient, nnd followed their newly
constituted father with as much affec
tion as if they had l>een part of his own
bone and flesh. The Judge was in a
dilemma ; the children stuck like burrs,
and no way offered of getting rid of
ihem. He finally effected n compromise
by off'ring the woman a sack of flour in
consideration of her "calling her chil
dren off" and again assuming guardian
ship.
GROWTH op CRA.LS.— An interesting
fact his recently leeii observed respect
ing the growth of corals. Somewhat Uss
than two years ago Captain McGregor,
of the steamer Kilauea, moored a buoy
in Kealnkckua Bay. Li#t we< k ho was
ordered to hoist the anchor and examine
the condition of the chain. The latter,
which is a heavy two inch cable, was
covered with corals and oyster shells,
some of which are us large as a man's
band. The larger coral# measure four
and a hall inches in length, which repre
seDts their growth during the period of
two years that the anchor and cable had
been submerged. The specimen which
we have seen show# the nature of its for
mation by the little cor il insects more
distinctly than any wo have before ex
amined. When taken out of the vat r,
it hud small crabs on it. A query arisen
whether tlieae crabs live on the carul in
sects, or whether they simply seek the
branches of the coral for protection. The
popular supposition is tliut corals sre of
extremely slow growth. Hero we have
a formation equal to more than seventeen
feet in a century.— Honolulu Gavttt.
Ax EFFICIENT INSURANCE CLKIUC.-— A
good story is told in connection with a
rem nt fire in this city. The stock sf
goods in the building adjacent to where
the fire occurred was insured for 8125,-
GOO. The sky-lights of this store were
broken, letting in some water, and there
were scattered over the floor of the up
per story a e quantity of broken
glass, cinders, unites, Ac., giving it a de
cidedly bail appearance. A clerk of one
of the offices insuring the stock in the
store comprehended the situation, and,
employing a gang of men, gave the place
a thorough cleaning up before the arrival
of the occupants of the primises, and
there was scarcely a vestige of the tire
and water remaining. The insured
parties put in a claim of 8125, which
wasg-heerfuliy paid. Those who saw the
place before the cleaning up, say that if
the damage had been estimated while it
was in that conditi< >n, the insurance com
panies would have been called upon to
pay 83,000 to 85. ft*) — P.>*tm t Traveller

this, will spend her year in London. St.

One lady has been receiving $750 in gold

WATERING STREETS AM w syteui ol
watering street* has been snnjectcd to
various and succeaaful experimental test*
in London. In one of those trials, one
mil a half inch lead pipes were laid
•along close to each curbstone, these
subordinate pipes being supplied b
mains. At intervals 'if about two foot
apart the pijxw sro drilled with holes of
from a sixteenth to 11 thirty-second of an
inch in groups of three, each of which
is pierced at a diflerent angle. These
apertnrcs from the pipes command the
complete road, which in this ease was
about nineteen vards. The water was.
of course, supplied under pressure, with
a head of abont 1(W feet and it was
found that a shower of a quarter of a
mile in length eonM be commanded with
a one and a half inch |>i|>e. In another
experiment with this system, a central
pipe was u-ed iu the middle of the road
which threw jet* toward the curbstones.
The pipes are protected by shields, and
provision is made for the surface water

Gt.NTi.twEN.—The watcbas manufac
tured by you hare been in use on this
Railroad for several years by our ei<gine
men, to <rbota are furnish Hatches as part
of our equipment. There are some TTIREE
HUNDRED OF THEM CARRIED OS

and KEUABLE TIMEKEEPERS. In
deed 1 liare great satisfaction in aaying
YOUR WATCHES GIVE US LESS
TROUBLE and bare worn and do wear
touch longer without repairs than any
iraicbcs we bare erer bad in BM on this

trusted to tboso ol English manufacture,
of acknowledged good reputation, but aa a

nor bare tbey done as good service as

TUE GREATEST ACCURACY AftD

riding ol aa engine; and as I bare NEYfclt
KNOWN ONE TO WEAR OUT, tbey
must be durable. I hope to se tbe time
when railway companies will generally
adopt your watcbes. and lurnish them to
all engineers and conductors. In my opin
ion it would greatly tend to promote reg
