"HO* Rearm WHEAT. -The German tou frqgwpl says:—"lt is getting to be pretty generally understood among farmers, that the sowing of grass seed—clover and timothy—with the wh.at in the fall, as has been common iu nearly every wheat-growing district here, as well as north and eu-t of us, is the cause of the rust on wheat, by reason of the moisture which the gra retains, affect iug the grain stalks when maturing. These grass aoeda, sown after the wheat crop has been harvested, will produce, it is claimed, as good crops the following year as if sWn at the time of the wheat nine month* previously." To CLEAN Km GLOVES.— To clean kid gloves, have ready a little new milk iu one saucer, a piece of white soap in another, and a clean cloth folded two or three time*. t>n the cloth spread out the glove smooth and neat. Take a piece of flannel, dip it in the milk, then rub off a good quantity of soap on the wetted flannel, and commence to rub the {,dove toward- the Angers, holding it firmly with the left Laud. Continue this process until the glove, if white, looks of a .lingy yellow, though clean ; if colored, till it looks dry and spoiled. Lay it to dry, and the operator will soon be gratified to see that the old glove looks nearly new. It will be soft, glossy, smooth, and elastic. A OOOP COW AND HOW HE KEEPS HEB. —Cherles D Hurt, of McLean, X. Y, who " sold butter thirty or forty years ago for a shilling a pound," stated that for the past sixteen years he has bat una cow. "The past season I made and a-dd up to December 1, -MO ponuds besides what the family used, and have SO pound* put up for the winter. She is eight years old. In 1b69 I sold 340 pounds ; in 1868, 312 pounds : kept bat ter to supply us the year. Her feed is com non pasture, plenty running water, shade, one pint of com meal, and one quart of wheat bruin twice a day. Her mother and grandmother wero extra cows for richness of milk and for quanti ty. and all would dry up as soon as cold weather set in, and go dry about three moths." HENS. —Keep them in the fowl house or under sunny latticed sheds all the time, unless the days are very warm, and then let them out of the house f< T run, only for an hour or two when tlx sun is highest. If they become through ly chilled, they will not m-over from it for several days. Variety in food is something that should never lie forgot ten. Corn is a staple ; but oats, buck wheat, and mudi made of Indian-meal, fed warm, should lie used on alternate days. To insure health, where the ground is not bare, fowls should always have cabbages to pick over, and some pork-'crap cake oi other animal food to supply the lack of in-ect food. Worm wa or"is better than cokl for their drink, and there should always lie an abund ance within easy reach. Do not forget oyster shells, which are far better than bine-plastering. And to give some in terest to poultry operations, a debit and credit account with the fowls is always in order and always conduces to the best result. CTHISO MEAT.— The Germautown Tel egraph gars : "To oue gallon of water add one aiul a half pounds of salt, half a pound of sugar, half an ounce of salt petre, half an ounce of potash. In this ratio the pickle to lie increased to any quantity desired. Ltd these be 1 wiled to gether until all the dirt from the sugar rises to the top and is skimne-d oil. Then throw it into a tub to 0001, and when cold pour it over your beef or pork, to remain the usual time, say four or five weeks. The ui'-nt must be well covered vith pickle, and should not be put down for at least two day# after th r killing, during which time it should be slightly imrinkled with powdered saltj>e tre, which removes all the surface blood, etc., leaving the meat fresh and clean. Some omit boiling tbe pickle, and find it to answer well; though the operation of boiling purifies the pickle by throw ing off the dirt always found in salt ami sugar. If this recipe is properly tried it will never bo abandoned. There is none that surpass it, if so good. PBUNESO VISES IS COLD WEATHEB.— Pruning vines when they arc frozen is saidtobc very injurioui We are not aware, however, that any of our vine yardists have ever conducted a series of experiments to prove the truth or falsity of this very common and often reiterated assertion. " If the young or old canes are handled and bent while frozen, it would, no doubt, break some of the cells and injure tbem ; but in ordinary pruning, that portion of the vine allowed to remain need not be in the least dis turbed ; for all tying up to stakes aud trellises can lie done in pleasant weather when there is no frost in the vines. In pruning a cane we cut between tbe buds ; and all that portion above the last bud left on the cane will die whether the separation is made with a knife, shears, or when frozen or otherwise. Priming vines in eold weather is certainly not very pleasant work ; but so far as lieing injurious, either to the vine, or the cut tings removed, we have our doubts, which are strengthened by tbe fact that thousands of vines are annually pruned without apparently any serious injury resulting therefrom. THE PHILADELPHIA ss boast that they are doing more than their share of pay ing income taxes. The total internal revenue of the city is 87.000,000. The total internal revenue of the whole coun try for the year ending June 30, 1870, I was 8185.128,859, of which Philadelphia furnished about one twenty-sixth pnrt, while the population of the city, accord ing to the recent census, is pieced at about one-fifty-sixth of that of the coun try- From tliis it will be seen that : Philadelphia has been paying into the National Treasury more that twice its share cf taxes, according to the popu lation aooorded it by the census-takers.

CilCHlNa MI'SKEATS. —It may have puzzled many of our readers to tell how muskruta, beavers, and other auimal*. are able to stay so long under water, apparently without breathing, ©specially in winter. The way they manage is, they take in a good breath at nod then remain under water as long as possible. Then they rise up to the ice and breath out the air in their lungs, which remains in a bubble against the lower part of the ice. The water near the ice is highly cltarged with oxygen, which it readily imparts to the air breathed out. After ft time, this air is taken back in the lungs, uttd the aniniul again goes under the water, repeating this process from time to time. In this way, they can travel almost any distance, una live almost any length of time under the ice. Tito hunter sometimes takes adv.int.tge of this liabit of the muskrat in tho following manner: When the marshes and pouds where the nin-krnt nltounds are fir-t froz-'D over, and the ice is thin aud clear, on striking into their houses with his hatehet. for the purpose of sotting hi* trap, he frequently sees a whole family plunge into the water and swim away under the ice. Follow ing one for some distance, he sees him conic up to recover his breath, in the manner above described. After the ani mal ha* breathed against the ice, aud Itefore he has time to take hi* bubble iu again, the hunter strikes with hi* hatch et directly over him, and drives him away from his breath.

A RARE piece of good fortune h:ts lately liefallen an old lady living at Bosham, in West Sussex, England, and who was known to the inhabitants of that place aa" Madame Idle," —the title of Madame I icing lies to wed upon her from the fact that she hud spent part of her life at Paris. She lived upon a small income, that placed her just above the seafaring population from whom she sprang and amidst whom she lived. A short time ago she received a letter, which, i*>t being nble to read herself, she took with her on her next visit to the neigh boring city of Chicheste r, and asked one of the trades-people with whom she dealt to decipher it for her. He did so, and found it was a letter from the solicitor of the late Marquis of Hertford, who died a short time ago nt Paris, to the effect that his Lordship hod left her by his will an annuity of £B,OOO a year ! She has since 'come into the receipt of this handsome provision for bfe, and has provided out of it for her relatives, who were in a humble position of life. AT Digne. in Germany, several butts of wine were shattered by lightning, and their contents passed along the lloor into a cistern hcncutb. ft was found that, far from having suffered by the accident, the wine was improved so as to sell at sixty instead of teg cent* per litre.

Even poor wines seem to assume an agreeable flavor through the process. A RECENT INQUEST in London affords a remarkable illustration of tho lengths to which vanity will c irry woman. A do mestic servant died suddenly.
