FROGS As ranisrrEs
•
Gertrati naturalists are requelted by a
Silesi . an_newspaper to reflect on a carious
prel.ensity of the "frog, alleged to have
been discovered during the draining of
some huge carp-ponds Upon Count Schaaf
gotehe's estate of Warrnbentn. tpen
transferring the fish from these preserves
to baskets for the purl one of conveying
them to tanks wherein they might disport
tliemselv ,, s while their old familiar qutr
; tees were,being cleansed; it was observed
that frogs were elingiug, to the backs: of
many of the larger carp. Most of the fish
thus beritillen were blind, the Ircige' fore
-feet being found firmly fixed in the eye
-socl.ets of their victims. Interrogated,
respecting, this strange phenomenon, the
chief pood-keeper told. our coutimpora
ry's informant that, according to his ex
...perience, -extending over several years,
frogs were the deadliest enemies with
which cnep had- to contend,- - and caused
an :tanu.Ll mortality among the'fish under
his care ~ f , f rom three to four,pee cent. of
tiv-ir totAl number. - The. frogs' ,object
be.tri.iite_ . ; the carp, he,Paid, was to feed
upon the slimy matter that so frequently
forms a sort of .sporigy trust on the heads
aMI backs of the older fish ; and, ' once
settled in their favorite seat, they speedi
ly succeeded in gouging their finey"steeds,
hick, hen Minded,. being''unabje to
fo 'lt out for . their food, soon perished
of hunger. Ilow tightly these voracious
Ix-tract:it:us hold on to their living_ pas
tllle.icW.V. exemplified by the pond-tnas
:Am, who picked up:a . carp weighing two
;pounds and . a half, atid held it suspended
iii tile a r by . one of the hind legs of" a
fr•) perched upon its back in the manner
al se d; scribed. Carps thus frog-ridden
to itatli turn yelloW the third' day after
tlie''parasiticalcroaker has taken his seat,
i - api , lly waste away, and generally die
a fortnight fiem the cernmence
.of their martyrdom. Iu clear wae
te: it is pretended that they can espy
nimble foe as hepreparep.to : spring`
tliem, and by a thitety wriggle of
. se. :pp his attack ; but .in dim and

S. :2a.4.lische, they too ftequently fall a

A youth from over the Mary

Lind as they could. The' procession was

iiulously several trines with his cane, he
otiy suexeded in aggravating their per

TIIEIII SEASON, &c.
To the lk - todoro of.t la Rom. t , -
It is well known that hot weather brings. *knew and:.that the,
greatest care la Airmanel7 to' prevent disorders( even - on the pert of
those most healthy. What there is in, the heat that ,should Cause - ,
4 disease cannot, cert ainly be known, but cholits, dysentery,.detrility,
lassitude, vertigo and many other sudden and dangerous maladies '
'come every season -and cause great suffering and thousands ;ot.
deaths. Few,people go through the summer, without unpleasant. •
symptoms. The mouth becomes dry and parched,' the tongue fur.
red withwhite, the pulse irregalar, the head feierish, the body
cramped and the limbs swollen and tired. Ladies
. esPecially, with
their natural delicacy and tendency' to female troubles, find the hot -
. - weather almost unbearable 4 while little Children' are dying every
day from exhaustion and because Parents, neglect precaution= and
care. A prominent and well known physician of New York asserts`
. ae his..positive belief that more than three:fourths. of all so-called
Summer complaints arise from disordered Aecretions, and that:these'
. secretionary organs, which, by being out of order cause so much '
trouble; are the kidneys and liver. The brain controls the life, bet
• the lower part of the body rules the health. •
/ • There is one, and only one knoirn vegetable that will absolutely '
-regulate and control the Kidneys and Liver at all , times and thus
'prevent the many dange rs
, of the Bummer.. That vegetable (a West ,
India leaf,) is used as the basis of ,Wartier's Safe Kidney and Liver
• , „fur°. It is pure, pleasant to the taste and absolutely certain in its -,
resultd. -It keeps those, who intelligently use it in- perfect health, •
and qures those whole secretions are deranged.- For all urinary '
complaints of either sex it is infaillble.For all billions troubles it
- ,
is
oertsiin. For the hot season- it is Invaluable and every person .of
„care and'intelligence should not fail to keep Warmer's Safe Kidney
1.
and Liver Cure near at hand, and use it upon the approach of the
- slightest aymptours. It may save your life or that of some °that
friend ;it will certainly prevent much suffering. It is for -Sale by
druggists in all.parts of the world ;'ue careful arid take no . other: _
ace A word to the wise is sufficient." • _

log of one Muscle -or set of mimics
sh se to hijure their tissue and,,cause
ilium:leak says the Herald of Health.
Felr escape this. Thei add to this
the injury of 'overwork. {Oveivork
is simply working after the strength
, • been reduced so low that It is
pilnful or wearing to move. It as
working 'after the nourishment in the
blood has been mostl y , used .: up. 'lt
is like keeping a mill 'going whe.nthe
stream is low or when the water is
the dam is nearly out. 'ln such cases
not only the muscles suffer, but all
the organs of the body., Overwork
at last, no "matter, what i kind it is,
produces' bankniptcy of the, body,
which is worse than any kind of
bankruptcy, bad as they all are. 'ln
the care orthe muscles avoid colds
and rheumatism. These make peo
ple stiff 'and , lame. They take away
thenaturil elasticity which gives so
much pleasure and substimite a worn
but, tired, exhausted feeling, which
bord as on pain and is, often more
difficult:to bear: HoW:,--Very careful
the owner of a fine hortie is that he
shalt nottake cold Ile knows if it
does it will founder, and - after this - ii
will never be a good stepper. Our
whole country is full of 'foundered
men and women, who are stiff, lame,
rheumatic, ,old- in feeling, inelastic.
Most of them Might have preserved
their elasticity to - old-ilge if they had
taken proper care_of themselves.,As
a rule farmers do not bathe as h,y
should. The daily bath is to them
quite as important as to any class.' '
`:Saving Seed , Corn.
The best time for selecting; seed
corn is , during husking time. At
this time' we can look to the bearing
quality of the plant as well as the
size, etc., of the ear.: Select from
stalkii having two or more ears, the,-
finest and best ears, or those
. ap:
prosehing nearest to your ideal . of
perfection. .
We usually select moderately siz•
ed ears; having a small cob, with
well set kernels, filled out over the
tip end of the cob. •
In husking the ear, selected for
eed-, leave a part of ,the ' busks on
nd wheii a quantity. has accumulat
bd, tie or braid the husks bf a dozen
or so together. They arethen in a
convenient shape to hang up in a dry
airy loft where they will not be;dis
turbed by‘ insect's or vermin. • •
. .
i
We know of no farm crop I 3 easi
ly improved •by selection' as corn ;
and with, this in view it-is
.c 1 rly to.
be,seen thatlt is highly i &taut
to*- select' 'our seed dotn ,e reMly,
with reference tp improying,the qnal
iti and yield.of- the- crop. I.ieep7Set
kernels and/sinall cob are; we believe.
indicative Of go'od yield. - • .

To
.deep Seed,Purd.
•We haVe the, oft •reperkted testi
mony of many farmers,, who, have
tried the experiment, that changing
the locality. of. seed jnereaSes, pro
ductiveriess of '.many 'kinds of crops:lt is, tiferefore reasonable .(although
the*hy and wherefore is not gerie,r : .
ally Understood) that there is. some
-,thing •in it, Although, after ail, I
think that : equally good if not better
resnits may be • obtained by a judi
cions system of seleetiop,-culture and'
rotation on different sdetions . of. the.
same farm. It .iS my`opinion, - cor
roboratdd by experience and obser
vation, that :a - system' Of selecting.
seed and planting only the,moSt per.:
feet .of Its. kind, ; would obviate ail
difficulty and comPlainti of Boor
crops, and seed, iarising from this
source.: For example, in planting
potatoes plant none less in size (arid
,those whole) than: a o hen's egg, and
no 'overgrown tubers, and. ollow
this, with a regtilar , rotation, , not
growing related crops on the same
ground,ofteirefthan 'once' in three to
five years. SeleOt the • best, . . Most
perfect kernels of : wheat, sowing only

pains lo save from the best rfpresen-'
tative:S.' of the variety. In tead of
deterioration, as we often hear,itm
proVement in •both.quantity

farmers i who, instead of pirrsuingl

it brings a- better - Trice in 'Market,

Food For Calves.
The caused' calves scouring is a
change in their food too wide and
sudden. , 'Animals but a few days
old can bear hitt little change, in
their food. They will be (iasity
killed by a variation which an 'adult
would bear with impunity Calves,
like infants are. too,often made sick,
by a change of one cow's milk for
that Of another. 'The food of calves
may be modified ,almost indefinitely,
but it mast be varied- g'radually.
When they get more age - they will
bear change better.
,When taken:
from the cow,\feed first thb inotler'4
milk, warm. The differeneeetiveen
sucking‘and feedingis change enough
to begin with. Ina few days alittle
skim, milk may lie substituted for
new milk as a•part of the mess, but
it should be warm as the new milk.
By degrees-the slei4 milk may be in
creased; if it is fed warm, until the
new milk-entirely drops out, and no
scouring or other ill effects will fol-
low: • In tht same vay,.whey, sweet
and warm, may be substituted for
skim . milk, Dr a little well 'cooked
Meal,•or what tettet . , a - little oit
meal may he gradually worked in as
a substitute; for milk, and. the change
will, not.be i materially felt: If P. W.
C. will bear in mind • that the essen-
Uhl -points in feeding -.young calves
'are warm food
.and slow changes, he
svill,nOt only stop the ,
niprtality in
his= 'herd; lout ',he can have thrifty

scavengers, devonring multitudes of
insects, and among others the canker

apple trees. .Judging from my own

Shrinkage in Wheat.
In order t to ascertain the shrink
age. Which; wheat 'undergoes from
evaporation, •when held in the bin
over winter ; a' very interesting -ex
periment has been tried. About six -
months ago a long sack was prepar
ed and filled ;with 200 pounds of
winter wheat, :accurately.- On'N.ov.
12, 1876, was placed in a grain '
bin in-the barn; and in, order that
;
,the 'grain ,in lie sack might fairly :
represent the verage in the bin—the
bin held; about 150 bush6ls- =the sack
of wheat was sunk in.t.fie grain! as far-
as' possible:; Say to an average depth,.
of two, feet. .In this position it has '
remainedlsix month's, or until May ,
12th, when it wa1)4)1104

.we i ghed. The /second- weighing
showed an increase ,on that of six
mouths before, the weight being 204
pounds phis a fraction of one pounthi -
The result was unexpected • and *elic

lutely none at all. The shrinkage so
often complained of by millers and I
others doubtless comes from "rat--:
tage," leaks in the granery, and other!
like obvious sources of , waste. The',
slight, increase in, the weight of-the
sack of grain "is perhaps attributable (
to a. -sl ight variation in ,the scales
used in weighing. "It is an interest
