To Catch Owls. —lf troublesome to your
poultry, set a steel trap on the top of a
pole, near the hen-roost, and they will cer
tainly be caught.
To Knit Heels. —To knit the heels of
socks double so that they may thus last
twice as long as otherwise, skip every al
ternate stitch on the wrong side, and knit
all on the right. This will make it double,
like that of a double ply ingrain carpet.
To Destroy Mites in Cheese. —A piece of
woollen cloth should be dipped in sweet
oil, and be well rubbed on the cheese. If
one application be not sufficient to destroy
the mites, this remedy may be used as often
as they appear. The cheese shelves should
be well washed with soap and water.
A. Rat Trap. —A writer in 3loore's Ru- j
ral New Yorker, says he fills a swill-barrel
full of good swill —the rats soon learn to
come and eat. After a few days six or
eight inches of the swill are dipped out,
when they still find their way into the bar
rel, but not out. Sixteen rats were thus
caught in one night.
Hashed Mutton. —-Mutton and beef
should be dou'e very rare, they are so much
better to hash. Take two or three slices
of pork, fry them out, take them out, slice
two onions into the' pork fat, flour the fat
and let it brown; turn in all the gravy left,
add catsup and wine to your taste, and
simmer the mutton till boih.ng hot.
Cement for Broken China.~ -Stir piaster
of Paris into a thick solution of gum ara
bic, till it becomes a viscous paste. Apply
it with a brush to the fractured edges, and
draw the parts closely together. In three
days, more or less, according to dryness j
and temperature of the air, it will be }nir
fectly dry, and the articleeanuot he broken j
in the same place, ft is white .asd does !
not show.
Food tor F'jvoh. —Fowls are, of a'll birds,
the most easy to feed. Every ah" mentary
substance agrees with them, *tve\i when it
is buried in manure; noticing is lost to
them; they are secu the wlr.de day long,
incessantly busied in serateli ing and pick
ing up a living. In weU-1 ed fowls, the
difference will be seen, ©et only in the size
.and flesh of the fowls, hut in the weight
and goodness of the eggs, tu oof whieiigo
farther, in domestic uses, tb an three, from
hens poorly fed, or half starved. j s cus
tomary tc throv? to the fowls in a poultry
yard, onee or twice a day, a quantity of
-grain, generally corn, p.nd sometimes less
than that which they wonld consume, if
they had an abunda uce. Fowls, however,
are more easily satisfied than might be sup
posed from the greedy voracity which they
generally exhibit when they are being fed
from the hand. It is well known that, as
a general rule, large animals consume more
than small ones. There is as much differ
ence in the quantity of food consumed by
individual fowls as there is in animals. It
has been found, by careful experiments,
that the sorts of food most easily digested
by fowls, are those of which they eat the
greater quantity; they evidently become
soonest tired of and are least partial to rve.
It has also been found that there is consid
erable economy in feeding wheat, corn, and
barley, well boiled, as the grain is thus in
creased in bulk at least one-fourth, and the
same bulk seems to satisfy them ; but there
is no saving by boiling oats, buckwheat or
rye.
Selecting Seed Corn. —One of our agri
cultural readers says, he never has any
trouble about his corn germinating. When
he is about to shell his crop, he looks out
carefully for his seed. Selecting the lar
gest and best ears, he breaks them in two,
and examines the cob. If it is dark col
ored, or exhibits the least sign of decay, it
is at once rejected. If on the other hand,
the cob is bright and sound, the corn has
all its germinating qualities, and it is saved
for seed. By this process the farmer is
sure to have good teed. The experiment
is simple and easily tried, and as there can
be no doubt of its success, a vast deal of
time, labor and vexation will be saved to
the farmer after the corn is planted.

Determined Suicide of an Old Lady.
—The Pittsburgh Gazette says : We learn
that an old lady named Winifred Fawcett,
aged eighty years, residing on Killbuck
Run, some seventeen miles from the city
committed suicide on Sunday, by jumping
into a well. She attempted this fatal act
twice before, but was seen by her husband
and taken back to the house. About one
o'clock, while her husband was engaged at
the dinner table, she ran towards the well.
He pursued, but ere he could overtake her
she had taken the fatal leap, and all efforts
to save her proved in vain. Her body was
raised soon afterwards, and an inquest was
held by Esquire Rhodes, which resulted in
the rendition of a verdict of death by sui
cide.
Singular Result of a Trial for Murder.
—The trial of Isaac L. Wood, at Genesee,
New York, on an indictment for murdering
Rhoda Wood, his brother's wife, by poison,
came to a conclusion on Wednesday, after
occupying the Oyer and Terminer for six
days. The jury were unable to find a ver
dict. Eleven were for conviction, but the
twelfth, a Mr. Moses Long, would not con
cur, because he had conscientious scruples
respecting the death penalty. A strong
feeling of indignation prevailed in Genesee
at the conduct of Long, as the public in
that vicinity were convinced of the priso
ner's euilt. The excitement in the village
and county is represented as greater than
had been witnessed for many years before.
Wood is under another indictment for the
murder of his brother. Mr. Moses Long
must be a philanthropist of the most prac
tical school thus to remain upon a jury six
days in order that his " conscientious scru
ples" might come in at the last moment to
rescue a murderer from the gallows.
Remedy for Leaks. —A correspondent of
the Lynn News says: "Some years ago I
had a leaking ' L.' Every northeast storm
drove its waters in. I made a composition
of four pounds of rosin, one pint linseed
oil, and one ounce red lead, applied it hot
with a brush to the part where the L join
ed the house. It has never leaked since.
I then recommended the composition to my
neighbor, who had a Lutheran window
which leaked badly, lie applied it and
the leak stopped. I made my water cask
tight by this composition, and have recoili
ng inded it for chimneys, windows, &c., and
it always proved a cure for a leak."

M. M. FAXON'S
Attachment of Vulcanized India Rubber
Spring lo the Tubes oj Grain Drills.
rnilE undersigned, having perfected an arrangement for
■L the -attachment of a Gum Spring to the Tubes and
Drag liars of Grain Drills, is happy to inform Farmers
and all others interested in the growing of Wheat and
other grains, that he is prepared to furnish GRAIN
DRILLS, with the above article attached, at the siiortest
notice, at his Foundry, In MeVeytown,Pa. Seeders hove
become an almost indispensable article to the Farmer,
and he will tind that the attachment of the Gum Spring
will enhance its value at least one-half. All the deten
tion and trouble caused by the breaking of wooden pins
is entirely done away with by this arrangement, and a
man, or boy, can perform nearly double (he labor that he
could under the old plan, with much greater ease,both to
himself and horses. There need be no fear of the Spring
breaking, for if there is an article that will neither break,
rut, or wear out, the Guru Spring is that article, and I
hazard nothing in saying thai iny Grain Drill is the sim
plest in construction, most economical in performance,
and therefore the most durable ever offered to the agri
cultural public. The feed is so arranged that it will sow
1, If, if, If, and 2 bushels per acre. Persons desiring
one for the coining seeding are requested to send in their I
orders as early as possible. Direct to McVeytown, Mif- j
din county, Pa., or F. G. FRANCISCUS, Lewistown;
E. L. FAXON, Hollidaysburg, Blair co., Pa.; BOYER &.
BRO., Harrisburg, Pa., who are authorized to actus
agents, and from whom any further Information may be ou I
tained. j
PRICE OF DRILLS, with the attachment, #75. Far- i
mers who already have drills, can have them altered,and \
the India Rubber Spring attached, for from #lO to #ls.
e>AII branches of the FOUNDRY BUSINESS still i
carried on, for which orders are respectfully solicited.
