Pigs and Snakes.
A fnrmer living on the west si de of tlie
Ohio river, in walking about Lis farm,
discovered a nest of rattle snakes in the
hollow bark of an old tree, about which
several large pieces of rock lay scattered.
Having heard that pigs were hostile to
snakes of all kinds, and not caring to
attack the nest himself, he thought he
would try the experiment and see a fight.
He drove several pigs in the vicinity of
tlie nest , and watched the result. The
pigs soon seemed to scent the reptiles,
and commenced to root eagerly about the
spot In an instant half a dozen of the
vicious serpents emerged from their hid
ing place to attack the intruders, who
manifested a zealous disposition to giv
battle. A snake would rear Itself to the
height of the back of the pig, shake his
rattle, and plunge his fangs into the ani
mal with lightning like celerity, and
then dart away, pursued by the pig, who
dexteriously received the sting, upon
the fleshy part of the jaw. Over and
over again this would be repeated, until
the pig got his fore foot upon the Buake,
when he would deliberately rip the rep
tile in twain and then devour him. This
slaughter continued until all the snakes
were disposed of when the pigs grunting
contentedly, and without any Bigns of
being disturbed, waddled off in search of
other provender. The eye witness of
this singular contest which was not
without its exciting features, declares
himself convinced that a pig is imper
vious to the poisonous bite of any kind
of serpent.
Waste of'Land.
If a farm of 160 acres Is divided by
fences into fields of ten acres each, there
are five miles of fences. If each fence
is one rod wide, no less than ten acreB of
the land nre occupied by them. This is
equal to CI per cent, of the farm, and
the loss of the land is exactly equal to a
charge of 6 pet cent, on the whole
value of the farm. But nearly every
fence row in the country is made a nur
sery for weeds, which stock the whole
farm and make an Immense amount of
labor necessary to keep them from
smothering the crops. Much damage
always results to the crop from these
weeds, and if these expenses are added
to the first one, the whole will easily
sum up to 20 per cent., or a tax of one
fifth of the value of the farm. To remedy
this, we would have fewer fences, or we
would clean and sow down the fence
rows to grass or clover, and mow them
twice a year. Ten acres of clover or
timothy would at least supply a farm
with seed and a few tons of hay every
year. We would, in short, consider the
fence rows as a valuable part of the
. farm, and use them as such. American
' Agriculturist.
Lice in Stock.
A correspondent of the Country Gen
tleman gives the following simple plan
to rid cattle and other stock of lice. If
effective it is the most economical and
easily applied application we have heard
of. The plaster alluded to was of course
ground gypsum. A farmer neighbor at
our elbow 6ays well-dried road dust will
do as well ; "I once rid my stock which
was badly infested with lice, by sifting
ground plaster along the back and neck.
Two or three applications did the work
effectually. The plaster should be very
fine and dry. Another method which I
have used with great satisfaction is with
carbolic acid. One ounce of carbolic
crystals, one pound of common bar
soap, melted together by the addition of
a little water. Let an animal be washed
in a strong suds made with this, and it
is sure death to all parasites, and will
cure all skin diseases. Both these
remedies are simple, harmless and effect
ual. Lice will live for a long time in
the woodwork about the barn ; It is a
good plan to whitewash about the lean
to, and prevent their spreading in that
way."
How to Cook Old Fowls.
For the possible benefit lo some young
housekeepers, we wish to tell them how
to cook an old chicken. Prepare as for
roasting, then boil three hours In a
covered pot, with one quart of water, to
which add two tableapoonfuls of vinegar,
after which put into a pan in a hot oven
for about one hour to brown. The liquor
in the pot to be prepared for gravy ;
should the water boil away too much,
more fchould be added. The result is,
the meat is as tender as a young Chicken,
and some think richer and better.
g3?" Haw potatoes scraped, are a sure
remedy, for botts in horses.
