AGRICULTURE. PROTECTION OF PLANTS FROM COLD. A very slight covering will exclude much cold. At first it seems almost Impossible that thin mat or any such flin.sy substance would prevent tender plants from attaining the temperature of the atmosphere by which it is gener ally supposed they are injured. But when it if considered that bodies on the surface of the earth become, during a still and serene night, colder than the atmosphere, by radiating their beat to the heavens, a good reason will be ob served lor the practice. The covering has mort tflect when placed a little dis tance above the plants to be sheltered. A very considerable difference in tem perature was always observed on still and serene nights, between bodies shel tered from the sky by substances touch ing them and similar bodies sheltered by a substance a little above them. An experimenter recently found on one nilit that the warmth of grass, shel tered by a cambric handkerchief raised a few inches in the airs was three de grees greater than that of a similar handkerchief actually in contact with It- On another night, the diflerences between the temperature of two por tions of grass, shielded in the same manner as the two above mentioned, from the influence of the sky, was four degrees. Experience has no doubt taught iutelligent and observant gar deners the advantage of defending tender vegetables and plants from the cold of clear, calm nights, by means of light protective substances, but it may not have occurred to all that the advantage is largely increased by some contriv ance for elevating the mats or protec tion at a slight di-tance from the plants. Oats for Colts. Some oats must be fed to cults to produce good horses; this is mora particularly necessary in earlj life, while the constitution is be ing formed for a considerable time betore weaning especially at that period and to the end of the year. Beginning with a handful when the colt is a week or two old, it will certainly pay to gradually increase the amount to four or five quarts by the end of the year. After that, if the pastures and hay are first quality, oats are not of the same importance, but should not be withheld entirely. The amount that can be pro fitably given the second and third years depends on the conditions already men tioned. Teas and good pea-vine hay answer the same purpose in forming healthy bones, muscles, and nerves in growing colts, calves, and lambs that is secured by feeding oats. Clover abounds in albuminoids and bone ma terial. Hence hay made nominally of red top, timothy, blue grass, and or chard grass is improved by a mixture of clover. AH kinds of stock are benefited by having a variety of food daily. It is an old maxim. "A change of pasture makes fat calves." Catarkh ix Shkep. Sheep run at the nose sometimes because of cold, but often it is chronic catarrh, and is not easily cured. If they are made to in hale the steam from hot vinegar or a decoction of hops they will throw out a great deal of mucus which will be loosened by inhalation. The steam may be made by dropping a live coal into a vessel containing the liquid, or by in serting a hot iron. Alter the mucus has been discharged, smear the nostrils with pine tar. scotch snuff, dropped in the nostrils, will cause the sheep to throw out the mucus, but this remedy is not so effective as steaming. A hood may be put on the head of tne sheep to prevent the steam from escap ing, and the head of the animal must be held directly over the vessel. Sheep allected with catarrh should not be ex- . , , a eimer will increase uie maiauy, ApeLts for ilotis.

Smut in Cokn. smut consists of a fungus, a vegetable growth which starts from seed called sjiores. This seed is very small, so small as, in the case of common puff balls, to float in the air like smoke. What is the cause is not known. A preventive may be to steep the seed in a solution of blue-stone (sul phate of copper), as wheat is steeped to prevent the same thing. Farmers are irequently troubled with their wheat niouluing after it has been put in the bins. If your wheat is damp and liable to mould, put a few sto'ies or bricks in the granaiies, and after leaving in one day, take them out, and if they appear damp, put in others that are not moist and at the end of two or three days the wheat will be jierfectly dry and rattle like shot when handled. Ihe Utirtnouae. All our young readers know well the common mouse, and many have, doubt less, seen the field mouse; but the dor mouse is probably known only to a few. The shape of the head and body of this pretty little creature, proves that it is some relation of the gray-coated pilfer er from our larders, but its somewhat bushy tail shows that it is also akin to the nimble squirrel. Like the squirrel, the dormouse has its home in our woods and thickets, but it is so shy and timid, that we are not likely to see it unless we come upon it during its long winter's sleep. The dormouse is very small, its body being less than three inches in length, and its tail about two inches and a half. Its color is light reddish brown on the upper parts, nd nearly white on the under. So rapid is it in its movements that the eye can scarcely follow it as it runs along the lower branches of the trees, or leaps abou among the grass and leaves upon tbe ground. It feeds upon nuts, acorns and grain, and like the squirrel, it often takes its food between its forepaws and sits upright to eat it. A pretty, round nest of grass, with a lining of moss and lichens, is built by the dormouse be tween tbe forked branches of a low bush, or within a hollow tree. In this It places a quantity of food, which it busily collects during the autumn. When the cold weather comes, it rolls itself into a ball, by curling its tail over its head between its ears, and falls into a deep sleep. In this state it remains through the greater part of the winter, only waking up now and then when the air is unusually warm, and eating a small quantity from its store of food. Creatures which, like the dormouse pass the winter in a state of sleep or torpor, are railed hibernating animals. Fob StrsKAi.

It will not harm any girl to learn to drive a nail or saw a board, and do it well; and if she know how, she will, without doubt, many times find It convenient no matter what may be her fortune iu life. For every one it will be a great advan tage to cultivate mechanical skill no one has too much of it. Nothing will be handier or more acceptable, on more occasions than one, than to know how to use a few common tools. To begin with, the outfit need not cost over $10 but we will say $J5. For this he may buy a square, a jack-plane, a smoothing plane, iiand-ax, hammer, draw-shave, some dividers, a bitstock and bits, hall a dozen chisels, a bench screw, a few files, a whetstone, hand-saw, rip-saw and screw-driver. A small bench he can make. Then, with the rest of the $25, he can buy a little wire, an assort ment of screws (a few of a kind), an as sortment of nails and a small quantity of pieces of board of various dimensions. Ihe tools should be of good quality. In a little time some of these will be lost or broken, but what of it? So is money lost and thrown away. It is a profita ble training for every one to learn to use money properly. To learn they need to begin early, under good instruc tion. Tenty-nve dollars in money may be spent in a thousand ways for things which will do less good than the tools. Although this may seem to some a large amount to pay for tools, $25 would be considered a small item as au inheritance for a young man. Then buy the children 6ome tools and they will learn to make many playthings for themselves, and be less likely to get into bad company, luey will be happier, they will have a stronger attachment for home and a greater love for parents, and these are a priceless fortune to any young man or woman, a fortune which cannot be lost by any failure of banks or depreciation in real estate.

An Englishman with a back-load of bacon iu the English style begged a lift toward the city the other day. lie told me how he cured it by dry rubbing, with one pound of pulverized saltpetre to every three hundred pounds of pork. First the saltpetre was rubbed hard into the skin side of the pork and then into the flesh. Then tine English salt was rubbed in every day or two lor three or four weeks, turning and rubbing the pieces with whatever salt and saltpetre liquid drained off. After that the bacon was cured ready to hang up in an airy room for use. Red Pepper Catsup. Cut up ripe peppers and place tlism in a preserving kettle until it is full; then cover with the best cider vinegar and boll until the peppers have dropped to pieces. After removing from the fire, as soon as the sauce is cool enough, I rub it through a wire sieve. It is much better, in my opinion, without either salt or any other condiments, and is of a beautiful scarlet color, and so thick that it must be put ud for use in large-mouthed bottles or jars, and will keep fresh for years. It should boil slowly tor at least four hours.

In cell Xo. 4 was a long-chested, hollow-eyed man, whose principal article of clothing was the remains of an old army overcoat, lie had been lunching around town during tbe day, taking in everything from a saloon spread to a hard apple picked up on the street, and the police finally ran him In for a vag. After his arrest he claimed to be a veteran of the Mexican war, and produced a paper reading as follows: Toledo. Sept 1, 1873. "Bijah Please assist the bearer of this "Tom Collws." He was brought out of his cell, and Bijah looked him over and asked: "And do you claim that I agreed to marry you, toot" "Xo. sir. I was told that you would get me Into the post office." "You was, eh f It's a wonder they didn't tell you I'd get you into the House of Correction." "Won't you just mention to the Judge that I'm a distant relative of yours r" asked the stranger. "Xo, sir! If you were I'd deny It!" "But I honestly believe we used to play together, and axe old friends." "We never played together never I I never played with anybody; I always bad a sore toe or a boil on my leg, or had to go for the doctor." "Won't you aay to the Judge that I can skip this town in fifteen minutes?" "Xo, sirl Tbe country hay-stacks are honey combed with tramps' nests now.

Among other things, she inquired if he didn't think the springs would be useful. "Certainly, madam," replied the doctor, as he eyed the child, and then took a large pinch of snuff. "I haven't the least hesitation in recommending the springs and the sooner you apply the remedy the better!" "You really think it would be good for the dear little thing, don't you?" "Upon my word, it's the best remedy I know of." "What spring would you recommend. Doctor?" "Any will do, madam, where you can get plenty of soap and water." Xothino," says the Bazar, "looks sweeter on a little girl than a white muslin Princess dress." Doesn't it, old lady?

And we will leave it to the little girl herself, which of the two looks sweeter ou her. "I dos't want it understood," mused Bijah, as he laid his letters and dis patches aside, "that I spank a boy for sake of feeling him kick and claw, and of bearing him yell and whoop. Far from it, My motive is to soften his heart, awaken new feelings, arouse new desires, and start him ofl right. I may not alawys succeed, but if 1 don't it will be because the spanker breaks in two or the boy gets away." A skeptic who was badgering a simple minded old man about a miracle and Balaam's ass, finally said: "How is it iossible for an asa to talk like a man?" "Well," replied the honest old believer, with meaning emphasis, "I don't see why it aiu't as easy for an ass to talk like a man as it is for a man to talk like an ass."

A novel swim took place on the Thames, the iierformcr being young officer in the llungerian army, Lieute nant Von Zubovits. This gentleman has invented a saddle by means of which wide and rapid rivers can be ea sily crossed on horseback, the rider re maining dry above the waist. Consider able interest seemed to be taken in the trial trip, a saloon steamer which had been chartered to accompany the swim being crowded with visitors. Lieuten ant Zubovits rode a gray horse, the property of Mr. Henderson, the ship- owner,this horse having had previously only three trials in the water; but the Lieutenant states that when he com manded a Circassian regiment in the late war he had no difficulty in easily persuading horses to take to the water, and on one accasion in the Danube he swam one horse for eighteen hours. Ihe start was fixed to take place at five o'clock, by which time our West minster Bridge was crowded with spect ators.. A cheer soon an noticed that the lieutenant had commenced hisswim,and in the distance, offtliellorseferry, could be seen what appeared to be one of those dummies used at seaside regattas iu aquatic tournaments, but as it a proached the strange sight came to view of a man comfortably seated in the sad dle the top of which was about three inches above the w ater's edge swimm ing down the stream on horseback, the horse with arched neck apparently ex hibiting no signs of fear beyond occa sionally taking a nervous sip of the by no means too pure water. The invention consists in simply a double india-rubber saddle inflated with air, which keeps the horse afloat with ease. The saddle, when empried, weighs between 8 lbs. and 10 lbs., and, it is stated, can be used for carrying water or fodder when not requred for the purpose of enabling cavaliy to cross rivers. Westminster Biidge was passed at twenty-five min- uites past five o'clock, the steamer starting at the same time, considerable interest being evidently taken In the proceedings by the military attaches of the foreign embassies, who were on board. The rider was accompanied uy a little boat, in the stern of which sat Mr. Henderson, who ancoiiraged on the horse. YOUTIIS'COLUMX. A German Moutt. Some wise people say that there is no such thing as a singing mouse; but listen! you and I are wise too, and after you bave beard my story, you can form your own opin ion. I was in Germany when I saw and heard uy mouse. I lived in a queer, tall, old-fashioned house of brick and stone; the rooms were high, the windows deep and wide. Sitting on one of the broad window seats late one night, watching the few passers-by in the moonlit street below, I was suddenly aroused by the sound of the watchman's voice, calling the hour, twelve o'clock. Rising, I was about to turn back into the room, when all at once I heard the most delicate note, soft aud clear like a far away flute! I listened. What could it be? It was not like a bird's cry ; and more over, there were no birds about, for it was midwinter. Still, I said to myself, what else could it be ? Some pet bird, perhaps, escaped from its cage, was seeking shelter here. It might be on the sill outside the other window. Crossing the room, lo! the mystery was solved. On the sill inside, there he sat, the wee singer, as much at home as I was a little, bright-eyed, glossy, grey mouse, Xoiselessly I seated myself near him. and listened to the strange music; for I confess that I had then never heard of a singing mouse, and did not more than half believe that the sound proceeded from him. As if euessinz my thought, and deter mined to convince me that in musical Germany even beasts can sing, away be scampered from the window, ran across the room and up the cushioned side of my sofa. Perching himself on one of the arms, his eyes twinkled with a knowing look, as much as to say, "Xow doubt, if you dare!" and then he lifted up his voice and sang. I have read that their song is much like a canary bird, but this did not bear the slightest resemblance to the singing of any bird ; it was much softer aud lower, and had a strange, far-away sound, as I said before, more like a flute softly breathed upon than anything else I can think of. There were no sharp, shrill notes, nor was there any approach to the clear whistle of many ot our birds; and iu stead of the long sustained thrill cf the canary, there waa only a gentle "treruulo." Very likely, however, mice differ as much as people do in their manner of singing; and my mouse sang according to the Germnn "method ' 1 suppose. The entertainment lasted tor about half an hour, and then before I could reward him with a crumb of cake, he shot away as fast as only a mouse can run, and vanished through a little hole in the floor. Xow remember, children, that this is a true story and that some mice do sing. Dante Trot' Calamity. Such a tidy body as this little Dame Trot! She must sweep and dust and wash and scour from morning until oight.or else be rocking her baby to sleep, or be do ing a variety of other things that are housewifely and useful. With Biddy's biir kitchen-apron tied on behind for a long dress, she flies a- bout, chattering like a wren, until one is tired out with thinking how tired she must be. But her very industry and neatness brought her into grievous trouble once, Her mamma s toilet-stand was already in very good order; but as m tnnut was tired, and was trying to get a wink of a nap, Dame Trot thought she would set it to rights over again, but would be as still as a mouse about it, so tnat no one need be disturbed. So she set to work; and, as cleaning was nothing u she could not slop and splash in the water, she soon had a sponge well wet, and began sopping over the marble, standing on tip-toe to do it Then, of course, the bottle must be washed. But they w-Te heavy for her little hands, ai.d the first one she pick ed up slipped suddenly through her wet fingers, and fell with a crash to the door. If the breaking of the glass had not startled mamma, the dreadful strang ling and choking and sneezing and screaming that followed, certainly would have done it, tor it was the am-momia-hottle that had fallen, aud Dame Trot had got the sharp effect full into her poor little face. It hurt her cruel ly, and her eyes streamed with tears, and she thought herself burned, for it stung like fire. Mamma took her to the open window, bathed her face, and did all she could to relieve her. And was Dame Trot scolded? Oh, no! for she had meaut to be very neat and quiet, and it was only an accident, and not a naughty trick at all. But mamma had to caution her to try to wait until she got to be a little larger, before she attempted lo do any more cleauing. "A Utile hve-year-old boy, residing with his parents in the Chesney block, was asked bv a lady, a few days since for a kiss.

There are in Chicago no less than twenty large tinware lactones, sup plying the whole West with kitchen ware, one of them even exports certain lines of tin goods to Europe, from whence the tin comes, and gives occu pation to uianv hundreds of hands. But it is all a mistake. The ware called tin is only a wash of tin over sheet iron. As well might we speak of plated ware as being silver. We learned something novel recently about tin while looking in at a metal store and listening to the courteous salesman. We learned that. while our extensive country produces nearly all metals, from gold to lead, there has never j et been discovered a tin mine. Should one be found, may we be there to see, and take a few- shares in it. Tin is used for various purposes other than for Britannia ware. The fine black cloths we get from France are colored by a solution of tin. The most beautiful red colors in carpets are made by a chemical pro cess which requires pure tiu in the composition. The best and most reli able tin is imported from the Dutch East India Island of Bauca. It is ta ken from Banca to Rotterdam, and there sold by auction at semi-annual sales, and from there finds its way to all parts of the civilized world. Xext in quality is Malacca or Straits tin, so named because it readies us through the Straits of Malacca. A small quan tity comes from China, but the Celes tials have so many ways of cheating that their tin is very unpopular. Our English neighbors send us great quan tities of their Cornwall tin, and they pronounce it superior to all other, but while it is pure, it is not so so ft as Ban ca, and Brother Jonathan prefers the latter. From South America we re ceive small supplies, but its quality is inferior and very drossy. Our imports of tiu and tin plates during the last fiscal yeatf- amounted to $12,112,532, while in 1873 they were $13,3.,653. California expects to realize $50, 000,000 on ber wheat crop this year, an increase of $26,000,000 on the receipts of laat year. SC1EXTIFIC. A recent Xautical Invention. A new and improved style of reefing gear has been introduced, by which the bonnet can be taken from the jib on deck with out going out upon the bowsprit, or lowering the jib the latter can be kept full of wind while tbe bonnet Is thus being taken off or put on. The reefing gear' contrived for this purpose is a composition toggle, with a sheave in the end, and fastened to the bonnet with a back plate; the toggles pass through the gommets of the jib, and a reefing line is drawn through the toggles under the sheaves, acting as a key to fasten the bonnet in. In taking the bonnet out, a preventer is used in the foot of the bon net, while shifting the sheets upon the jib: the reefing line is then pulled from under the sheaves, and itdropsouL By slacking up the halyards and pulling down on the tack which is fastened to the foot of the jib and reeved through a block ou the end of the bowsprit run ning Inboard, the jib will be brought to its place. All lug sails can be reefed in the same manner. It is alleged that us ing this kind of gear will prevent tbe sails from fulling up when wet, or sag ging down wnen dry, and will set as well as a whole sail; it has also been found not to ice up so as to prevent working. This gear Is made to fit all sizes of gommets it can likewise be ta ken from the old sails and put upon new ones, and is capable of wearing out a number of suits of sails. A new mineral has been sent to the British Museum by Mr. Barnett, of Cbyanbor, near Penzance. Prof. X'. S. Maskeryne calls it I.iskeardite, and gives a preliminary description of it. The color is blue or greenish blue, and the structure fibrous. It is associated with earthy chlorite and quartz. Iron pyrites, some copper pyrites, and mis pickel are disseminated in the lode ma terial. The analysis has not been com pleted.

The cord contracts and securely holds the pins In place.
