HORSES. SIGHT.

People in generalturn horses head
to n bright light to cxamine his eyes. You
cnn know very little by this method what
sort Of an eye horse has, unless it be a
very defective one. You must examine
the eye first when the horse stands with
his head to the manger. Look careful a,
the pupil ofthe eye in horse it is Of an
obloug form, carry the size Of pupil in
your mind, aud then turn the horse about
bring him to light /; if the pupil OF the
contracts, appears much smaller thun il
was in the dark light, then you may be
sure the horse has strong good eye
but provided tire pupil remains nearly the
same size as il appeared in the darker
light, then the horse has a weak eye,
therefore have nothing to do with him.
There are contracting and diIsting mus.
cles in the eye which will plniniy show
you in what stnte the eyeis, whether it be
a strong or a weak onc.-f Raleigh Star.

CORN.

As the season rs nov approaching when
farmers will commence gathering their
corn crops, deem il my duty, (ss a far
Ecr) to inform them, through the medium
Of your paper, how TO secure their corn
from the ravages ofihe weeva, which of
en- during the summer and fall seasons,
entirely destroys whole houses OF corn
As the remedy is SO simple and chcap, ]
am in hopes no farmer will leave il un-
tried. II is simply this. When hauling
in crop Of corn, have q mixture OF sal,
and water prepared (say ONE pint Of salt
to gallon Of water, and as each load is
thrown into the house, sprinkle il thor.
oughly with sah and water, and n will en-
txely prevent the insect from breeding in
the corn, and likewise cause the Eusks TO
be more pslatcabIe for stock Of any kind
As know this from experience, feel no
doubt in recommending it to otbcrs-A

PARSNEPS.

To cultivate Parsneps, let the farmer
SOW the seed in Autumn, soon after it is
ripe by which means the plants will come
on early the following spring, and will get
strong before the weeds can grow so as to
injurethem. The young plants never
materially sufferthrouga the severity Of
the season.
The best soil for them is a rich deep
loan newt thisis sand, or they wilthrive
we'll int brick gritty soil but will never
pay for cultivation in stone, brush, grav-
'el or clay soils and they are always the
largest where the staple is deepest. II
the soil be proper they do not require
much manure. A very good crop has
been obtained for three successive years
without any. Forty cart-loads of sand
laid on an acre Of very stiff loan, and
pl"ughed in, has answered very well.
Sow the seeds iD drills, eighteen inch
es distant, that the plants may be horse
OF hand hocd !; they will be more tuxuri-
ant if they have second hoeing, and are
care fully earthed, 80 as not to cover the

the blame comes upon the innocent IN
His classes are deranged by
an unequal progress between those who
are occasionally abseM-issscns partly
got are forgotten, and the ground is to 60
over again-an impnttence of the re-
straints of the school together with the
modification Of losing post Of honor, or
not reaching some object in view, which
another, who has steadily pursued II has
in the mean time attained, arc inevitable
conse quences off few days absence
and then when the quarter comes round,
the parent is sue to find fault with the
teacher because the child is not 40 far ad-
vanced as some Of his mates who have not
lost day during the term. Perhaps this
feeling is sometimes carried SO far TINT a
child is taken away from school, oD the
ground Of the supposed neglect or inca

difficulty has been the constant interrupt

GRINDING CORN on TIE COB

GRINDING CORN On TIE COB {
A writer in the .NsV England Farmer,
ono Of the best Agricultural papers pub
lished in this country aud which should
be placed in the Library Of every farmer,
speaking Of gr4nding corn on the col, gives
the following account Of an experiment
made by him. He says,
Ifattened 4 hogs, killed in December
laS, which together. weighed more than
1000 lbs. and were uncommoniy fine
pork. They were fed entirely upon cob
meal, excepting 9 or 3 weeks, when they
were kept UPON oats and corn meal, but
they cid not eat the latter with q better
relish nor fauen faster upon it thar upon
cob meal and that not scaided or boiled
by which it would have been greatly i'm
proved this agrees with the experience
Of my neighbors.
With respect to my horses, give them
no other provender than cob meal mixed
with straw and salt hay cut fine, and il
keeps them in very good order.
