Crib-Biting.

Horses not unfrequently contract
the habit of biting their managers, or
whatever hard substance they can lay
hold of. The habit results in consider
bic injury to the animal, in consequence,
as is commonly supposed, of his sucking
or drawing in air. Mr.. Youatt says the
crib-bitlng horse is VIGOROUSLY more sub
ject TO collie than other horses. He says,
also, that this is one of those tricks which
are very contagious and difficult to cure.
The habit is SO inveterate that when hor-
ses addicted to it have been turned TO
pasture for the purpose OF curing it, they
have been known, according to MIR. You
att, to gallop across field for the mere
purpose Of having grippe at rail. Mr..
Y. suggests that strap buckled tightly
round the neck, by COMPRISING the
wind-pipe, will prevent the horse from
"cribbing."
Wells Lathrop, Esq, of South Had
ley, Mass, has very valuable horse
which has had this habit for sometime
but by the use Of a small strap, fastened
round the neck just so tight as TO bear on
the wind pipe, he is effectually preven-
ted from biting, and the horse is not in
the least injured.

Agricultural.
Depending on a Single Crop.

Some farmers whom we know, advo.
cate the idea of dividing the labor Of far
ming in such way that but one kind Of
produce should be raised on farm or
section Of farms--such as hay, or Pota-
toes, &c. This is bad economy. 1t may
be right and proper for every farmer to
consider the capacity of his farm--what
il is best fitted for, and make that lea
ding object. But to depend upon sin
gle article of produce is not the best e.
conomy. This is done on many planta-
lions of the South, where attention is
turned wholly to cotton alone, or sugar
or tobacco alone but if the statements
of the most judicious observers among
them can be relied upon, it is not the
most profitable mode of management.
Ireland has depended for years on the
single article Of potatoes, and how has
she Jared at last? One of the most I'M
precedented famines of modern days was
the result. A writer, over the signature
of"Reviewer in the November number
of the American Agriculturist, says that a
friend Of his left New England, where
he has been accustomed TO raise every
thing, and settled on a large plantation
of the western prairie land. He writes
him, 81 am ruined. / have spent every
thing ] had, and am in debt besides, in
putting in four hundred acres of wheat
upon this rich, tempting prairie soil, and
it is all winter killed. / did not intend
to put in any spring crop, having previ-
ously determined to devotepll my atten-
ton TO wheat; and now cannot, for
have no means. Well, have learned
a good lesson-never to rely upon any
one CROP"
We think those among us who are get
ting into the one crop system would be
wise to profit by the experience of 9TH
ers in this thing.

slightest movement; while Mr.. Skinner
points out that the action of the animals
fore-leg being left unimpeded, the joint
is relieved from the effects of heavy or
sudden strain, and from those cramping
consequences productive of stumbling or
falling, followed so often by serious ac-
cidcnts. The improvement also guards
against jibbing, often caused by the
harshness of the old-fashioned COLLAR
In appearance the new collar is far light
er than the old another recommended
ton is that it is air-tight, and impervious
to wet or perspiration from the horse.

How to obtain a new variety OF
Potatoes.

The Ogdensburgh Republican SAYS,
" When the vines are done growing and
turning brown the seed is ripe then take
the balls and string them with large
needle and strong thread-hang them in
q dry place where they will gradually
dry and mature without injury from frost
In the month of April soak the balls for
several hours in water, then squeeze
them TO separate the seed from the pulp.
When washed and dried they are fit for
sowing in rows in bed well prepared in
the garden. They will sprout in fort
night. They must be attended to like
other vegetables, and when about 9 inch
es high they may be transplanted into
rows. AS they increase in size thew
should be hilled. In the autumn muny
OF them will be of the size of a walnut
and from that to pea. In the follow
ing spring they should be planted in hills,

CHEESE vs.. COMMON SHOT.

The greatest ammunition that we have
heard of lately was used by the celebra-
ted Com. Coe, of the Montevidean navy,
who in an engagement with Admiral
Brown of the Buencs Ayrean service,
fired every shot from his lockers.
What shall we do, sir" asked his
first lieutenant, "We've not "a single shot
aboard-round, grape, canister and
double headed, are all gone"
"Powder gone, eh Z" asked Coe.
"No, sir got lots of that yet"
We had darn'd hard Cheese-a
round Dutch one, for desert at dinner to
day, do you remember it 7" said Coe.
81 ought to- broke the carving
knife in trying to cut it, sir"
"Are there any more aboard p
"About two dozen. We took 'em
from droger."
Will they go into the eighteen
Founders ?"
"By thunder, Commodore, but that's
the idea. I'll try 'em," cried the first
huff.
And in few minutes the fire Of the
old Santa Maria, (Coe's ship,) which
had ceased entirely, was re-opened, and
Admiral Brown found more shot flying
over his head. Directly one of them
struck his mainhast, and as it did so,
shattered and flew in every direction.
"What the devil is that which the
enemy is firing :" asked Brown, but no.
body could tell.
Directly another one came in through
a port and killed two men who were
standing near him and then striking
the opposite bulwarks, burst into find
ers.
"By Jove, this is too much this is
some new tangled paixhan or other
don't like 'em at all, cried Brown; and
then as four or five more Of them came
slap through his sails, he gave the order
to ill away, and actually backed out OF
the fight, receiving parting broadside
Of Dutch cheeses.
This is an actual fact our informant
was the first Lieutenant of Goes ship.

SINNERS inflated Horse Collar

AS thing denoting that general re-
gard to the comfort of animals is extend
ing in these days of movement, Mr..
SINNERS invention may be cited. The
invention consists ola collar. shaped tube,
made either of leather or a caoutchouc
material, which is filled with common air.
The imitation is completed in few Sec
onds, by means of an ornamental valve
at the top of the collar; the latter can
be rendered tense or elastic, or the air
can be altogether expelled from it at a
minutes notice. A great desideratum
is accomplished by the equalization of
the pressure of the draught on the horses
shoulders, as the collar yields to the

A good Days Work.

Many people who have occasion to
use that common and highly necessary
article called an axe, would suppose that
it required considerable time and me-
chanica skill in the manufacture of one.
A workman, employed in the axe facto-
ry of II. g. j. Varney, of Pottstown, Pa,
recently manufactured in one day the
creditable number of 81. This is con-
sidered remarkable good days work.

tinued Bloss, {" it is out of order for a

Pumpkin Butter.

The following preparation is said to
be positively delicious. We copy it from
one of our exchanges for the benefit of
our readers " To one barrel of sweet CT
der boiled down about one-third, take
two bushels of pumpkins cut in pieces
like apples, they being peeled and cored,
and add them to the cider gradually, stir
ring all the time, until the whole is boiled
down to about twelve gallons, and Just
before taking off add half pint of ground
cinnamon and spice it TO taste. This
makes an excellent table dish, one fit fol
either king or countryman, only the lat.
ter deserves it most"

Lime water for Hens.

During last season, Mr.. Joseph Will
cox, of this town, having occasion to adj
minister lime-water TO sick horse, in
advertantly left n pail of the preparation
in the barn, which remained there for
some months, serving as favorite drink
for his hens. He soon afterwards found
that the laying of his hens was apparent
ly increased to considerable extent
Becoming finally convinced Of the greu,
importance of the Ito him new discov-
cry, he has, during the present season
kept his hens constantly supplied with
lime-water, placed in troughs within
their convenient access, and the result
was an increase in eggs of nearly four
fold, as compared with previous expert
ence. He is willing to share the bene
fits of the experiment with his neighbors
if they choose to try it; and hence THU
publication. The newness of the discov
cry, (although it may not now be new tc
ALL is claimed only as applicable to thu
mode of imparting the lime in this case

purpose, having been previously under
