AGRICULTURAL SUMMARY.

AGRICULfUhAL
The Maine Farmer contains an abridged
report of case in which it was decided by the
Supreme Court of that state that person leas.
ing farm for agricultural purposes has not
right to remove the anure made BY his cattle
and horses but that it belongs TO the owner OF
the land, un.ess there is a special agreement to
the contrary. The court stated that the case
might be different when livery stable was
rented for year or years.
Some persons in milking leave small guam.
tity in each teat for the calf; not being aware
that in tlis way they lose the richest OF the
milk. For if each successive half pint OF milk
drawn from the same teat of a COW be kept
separate, it will be found that the Quantity Of
cream yielded will increase in the order IN
which the half pints have been drawn. Calves
after the first few weeks will thrive upon sklm-
med milk having sprinkle ofcorn meal thrown
into it !; or what is better having mixed with it
well boiled corn meal, oat meal or barley meal.
PRESERVING APpLEs.-Mr. D. B. King Of
Waterford N. Y. packed his apples in Char
coai in the autumn of 1886, and overlooked
two in removing them. These two he found
in the summer OF 1888 in state Of good pres
elvarion (See Cultivator July, 1889 Apples
may be kept in an ice house all spring and
summer.
TINE or CUTTING TIMBER.-Benjamin
| Adams in communication to the Maine Farm.
er, states that in December he was cutting
timber, and happening to cut rock or sugar
maple more than he had need for, he laid it un.
der the fence. In March, when cutting his
summers wood, he cut another tree of the
same kind and size, which he laid by the form.
er, where both lay till September. At tha,
time, intending to use them in making wag-
on, he hewed both, and found the ono cut in
December beginning to rot, whilst the one cu'
in March was still green.
SETTING Posrs.-Posts last longer when
the wood is reversed from the growing position
that is when the top is turned down the rea'
son of which is that the structure of the woot
is such that the sap ascends when it is grow
ing and all moisture passes in that direction
through its pores more readily than in the Of
posite direction: of course when the but ent
is inserted in the ground it absorbs more mo's-
ture than when The other end is inserted.
1fposts are surrounded by fresh lime at tn
time of setting they will last much the longe
of it. 1t may be done by placing boards aroun'
the post at the time of ramining the earth
with holes a few inches above the ground. The
boards can easily be priced out by inserting
the end Of lever in these holes, and using
block for fulcrum, and then the vacancies
can be filed with lime.

We will take pleasure in exhibiting to any who
may wish to see it. We have shewn it to
several experienced cotton purchasers who
pronounce it beautiful article. 1t is of the
cream color so much admired in cotton; the
staple is finer than that of the common variety,
but not so strong, iugperhaps to the greater
fneness. ....y-s,----s------~s

You can't throw sawdust in this child's
eyes no how you can fix it'--putting his
thumb to his nose and shaking his fist at the
provincial.
This movement reused the ire Of the
Yankee to such degree, that with his
clenched fist he struck the Briton blow on
his face and leveed him on the bed; noise
ensued, and but few minutes elapsed ere
the landlord with his attendents arrived at
the door; each of the combatants appealed
to him TO decide who was the real Jake
Elworth,' and which was the man who had
come to bed last. The landlord surveyed
them each in their turn, but their faces, their
size, and the color of their hair resembled
each other SO much that he had declared he
was unable to distinguish one from the 9th
err. At this moment the hostler arrived at
the door with the intelligence that party Of
English 81 lders could be seen some distance
off, marching in the direction OF the tavern.
The officer laughed and the Yankee looked
aghast, but suddenly recollecting himself,
seized the Englishman's uniform, ran out
Of the room and ordered the hoster to sad
die his horse. In the yard of the tavern he
completed his dress, mounted the officers
steed and boldly meeting the detachment OF
English soldiers, ordered them to take ID
rebel, whom he had made prisoner at the
next tavern, to the camp. The mGnGurre
succeeded and the Yankee escaped to the
Americen camp. The English officer in
the mean time was arrested by his own men,

From the Rural Repository.
THE TREMBLING EYE-LID.
BY MRS. L. II. sIeoURNEY.

1t was the day before Christmas, in the
year 1878, that during our war of the Revo-
luton, an armed vessel sailed from the port
of Boston. She was strongly built, and
carried twenty guns, with well appointed
crew of more than hundred, and provis-
ion for 4 cruise of six months. AS she
spread her broad, white sails, and steered
from the harbor with fair fresh breeze
she made noble appearance. Many throb-
bing hearts breathed blessing on her voy-
age; for she bore company of as bold and
skilCul seamen, as ever dared the perils of
the deep. But soon the north wind blew,
and brought heavy sea into the bay. The
night proved dark, and they came TO anchor
with difficulty near the harbor of Plymouth.
The strong gale that buiieted them became
storm, and the storm hurricane.
Snow fell, and the cold was terribly Sc
we're. The vessel was driven from her moor
ings and struck on a reef of rocks. She
began to fill with water and they were oblig-
ed to cut away her masts. The sea rose a.
bove the main deck, sweeping over il every
surge. They made every exerlion that cour'
age could prompt, or hardihood endure
But so fearful were the wind and cold, that
the stoutest man was not able TO strike more
than two blows in cutting away the masts,
without being relieved by another, The
wretohed people thronged together on the
quarterback, which was crowded almost tc
sufIocation. They were exhausted with
toll and suffering, but could obtain neither
provision or fresh water. They were all
covered by the deep sea, when the vesse
became a wreck. But unfortunately the
crew got access to ardent spirits, and many
Of them drank to ntoxcation. Insubordin'
alton, mutiny and madness ensued. The
officers remained clear-ninded, but lost al
authority over the crew, who raved around
them. A more frightful scene can scarcely
be imagined. The sky, the raging s'orn'
the waves breaking wildly over the rocks
and threatening every moment to swallow
up the broken vessel, and the half frozen
beings who maintained their icy hold on life
lost to reason and to duty,or fighting fercely
with each other Some lay in disgusting stu
piditv, or others, with fiery faces, blasphen-
ed God. Some in temporary delirum, fan
cied themselves in palaces, surrounded by
luxury and brutally abused the servants who
they supposed refused to DO their bi]dings
