KILL THE WoRMs.-As the season. has ar
rived when the caterpillars and other vermin
are swinging from every tree, our readers
will thank usfor the following recipe:
Mix tar and sulphur, set it on fire,
and let the smoke ascend among the leaves,
This dose OF p" fire and birthstone will
bring them down. Do it in the cool of the
morning. when they are less active than after
being warmed by the sun.
Also sprinkle the trees with lime dust when
they are damp. The white miller that lays
the eggs is the offspring of this caterpillar
To destroy the millers, hang torches in the
trees, and they will fly into the fame.

facturies of the celebrated Nanny Moving
Machine and Mower and Reaper, combined,
Che reputation of this machine is so we'll es-
tablished, it has come off triumphant over all
competitors, in SO many contests upon the
harvest field, that any praise of its perform
ances would seem almost superAuours. Three
years ago, when the manufacture of the
Nanny machine was commenced in this city,
by the present enterprising proprietors, who
own the patent right for nearly the whole Of
New England, other mowers and the field and
but single Nanny machine was sold in the
the whole of this large country, con-
tanning nearly sixty towns but now the tide
has turned, and the Nanny machine is the
one most inquired for. Standing upon its
own merits, it has gradually marked its way
into favor with the farming community until
now, with the additional improvements made
the past season, it has taken the lead of all
the competitors, and stands, by the most
universal consent, at the head of the list,
and its perfect adaptation to all the varieties
of the New England grains and grasses, and
of New England soils.
The price asked for the Nanny machine
is only Sis, and, with the reaping attach
ment, combined $l25; and when it is consid-
cred it will accomplish the work of six or
eight men in day, that pair of light hor.
ses or oxen can work it with ease, and cut an
acre of grass an hour, and work ten hours a
day, the farmer who undertakes the use Of
figures may readily ealSlats the saving Il
will be to him, to have one of these ma
chimes.
Messrs. Adriance & Go. have, during the
past year, manufactured about six hundred
machines, giving constant employment to q
large number of hands and from the rust
of orders which daily pour in upon then
from all parts of New England, at the pres
ent time, it is pretty evident that the demand
will be very large,
The advertisement specifies some of thu
advantages and triumphs of this machine
and to it we would refer our agricultural
readers, as being the best service we can rem
der them, as they are looking with pleasure
ard satisfaction upon the heavy grass crop
with which their fields are laden and calcu

HE1FER CALvEs.-We saw recently fine
looking heifer calf standing near butchers
stall. 1t is a now rare sight. We admit that
some heifers are just fit for the butcher and
nothing else, but nine out of ten ought to be
kept, and will well pay keeping, if only to
slaughter at three years old, but if kept till
that time who believes that they will be
slaughtered? We need working oxen to

Rarey's Method Of Subduing Vicious Horses.

Rareys Method Of Subduing Vicious Horses.
All kinds of theories have been formed in
relation to the peculiar method Of subduing
the wild spirit Of horses, so successfully prac-
ticed in Europe by Mr.. Rarey who is gen.
orally known as the ." American Horse Tam
Err" At first many attributed his power to
such a system of force as should strike terror
into the animal, and thus render him more
liable to be influenced by his master but
since the declaration of Sir Richard Airey
that" there is nothing in the treatment but
what any horsemen would approve Of" it is
generally conceded that this influence is OBJ
tanned solely through some mode of appeal
ing directly to the more generous impulses of
the horse, and thus conciliating his affections
and confidence. 1t is we'll known that animals
have an almost instructive passion for certain
odors, which appearto have subduing in
Auence over them. Thesmost familiar illus
tration of this fact is the power in this re-
spect oxereisedron horses by the rank and
musty smell emitted. by the goat, which en-,
ables the latter animal to enter the stall and
pass between the legs Of the most vicious Of
them. The ammonical ef1uvia concentrated
in the warts or excrescences formed on the
fore and hind legs of horses, appear to have
the same attracting and subduing influence
The oils of cumin and rhodium have these pc.
culiar properties ina more marked degree
and as soon as the horse scents the odor Of
either of these substances he is instinctivey
drawn towards them. Mr.. Rarey has init
mated that his power over the horse is OBJ.
tanned solely through herbs or drugs which
operate on the senses of smell and taste, anG
we have no doubt but that the herbs or drugs
employed by him, if not the same, are Of al
analogous nature to those we have mention
ed
The following directions are given for the
tanning of horses by the system suggested.
Procure some finely grated horse castor
and oils of cumin and rhodium, and keep thu
three seperate in air-tight vessels. Rub {
little of the oil of cumin upon your hand
and approach the horse on the windward sid'

him without any trouble. Immediately rul
your hand gently on the horses nose, gettin!
little oil on it, and you can lead him any
where. Give him little of the castor OIL
any substance for which he has taste, AM
in the most suitable manner manage to ge
eight drops of the oil of rhodium upon hi
tongue, and he will at once become obedien
to the most exacting commands with whicl
horses arc capable of complying. Be kim
and gentle to him, and your permanent su
premacy will be established, no matter wha
may have been his previously wild and vici

THE ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH.

Sr. JOINS, n. F., Aug. 10.
To the repeated enquiries which are made
every hour through the day, as to the condi-
ton of the Cable and the probabilities about
the reception of the Queens Message, we are
unable to return any other answer, than that
the Cable remains all right-the electrical
signals passing through its whole length sat
isfactorily, but that tho Electricians have not
yot concluded their arrangements for putting
their recording instruments into operation.
TRINITY BAY, Aug. 10.
All tho arrangements for working the Cable
are con6dcd exclusively to the assistants of
Prof. Whitehouse, the Electrician-in chief of
the Atlantic Telegraph Company, and as all
the operations are conducted privately, and
they decline to give any information beyond
the fact that signals are successfully and con-
stantly passing over the Cable, from the Tel
cgraph Office here to the Telegraph Office
ut Valentia Island, all rumors representing
n different state of things are unfounded.
Although it is not known, except to the elect
rcians Immediately connected with the Cable,
what progress is being made in working Prof.
Whitehouse's recording instruments, we haz-
ard little in saying that it has been found, as
yet, impossible to work them successfully.
No doubt, however, is entertained that the
Hughes instrument, when ready, will
overcome all difficulties.

BURNING OF THE NEW YORK

stand in the Hall to ring the bell, but after
few feeble strokes was obliged to fee from

ring by hand but could get no
sound that would alarm the neigh

by sense of fullness, and flow of blood from

the raising of blood continued. l had much fever,
