INDIAN FIanr.-The Mesilla (Arizona) Times
of the 29th ult., says; 1--WE learn from Dr.
Steck, who had recently left the Gila, that
the Navajoes made descent on the Coyatero
Apaches, in the Sierra Blanca, killed two of
them and then fled. The party of Coyoteros
Immediately started in pursuit, and followed
the trail until it intersected another party of
Navajoes returning from the Rio Grande with
stolen property From here they followed
the trail OF the latter party, and came up
with them about daylight. A fight immedi
ately ensued, which resulted in the killing of
forty-six men and squaws, and the capture
by the Coyoteros of fifteen children and sew
enty-fve cattle and horses. The Coyoteros
seem better disposed towards the whites than
ever before, and are preparing for campaign
against the Navajoes, in connection with the

Treatment OF Colts, and How TO get
rid OF Lice.

Thomas S. Lay, of North V~assalboro
Me-, gives the method of treatment Of
colts and to cure those affected with lice
as follows in the Maine Farmer.
Three months after foaling, commence
giving the foal a handful of oats daily,
which is gradually increased until the foaI
IS months cd, at which time he should
IN most cases, be weaned. Many excal.
lent siockbreeders Keep the foaI BY he
dam five or six months, and many give
cows uailk after weaving, but when the
dam is kept breeding this is not a good
practice. During the fifth month"; gixe
one quart of oaiS, and one quart of sliced
carrots, if carrots are in season; during
the sixth and seventh month feed two
quarts of carrots and one Of oats-lf car
rois cannot be had and grass is out of sea-
sou, give Two or three feeds per week of
scalded bran, two quarts to a feed. When
weaving commences the fUal should be
placed in a small enclosure orhave access
to a large yard, in order to have plenty
Of EXCISE. It is much better TO wean
several together in the same yard.
''In giving grain to colts / should OBJ
iect using any kind but oats, as this grain
goes mostly to form muscles and bone.
while corn or corn meal Is heating and
any more roots than is sufficient TO keep
the animal in condition tends to fat which
is not wanted. Colts should have all the
good hay they will eat, ard water and
salt Gd iEitual.
IF poultry are kept near the colts, ex-
anime c%arfully and often for lice upon
them; rubbing the name ard tail is indica-
ton of them. Should they be found,
lose no time in driving them off. Ami
mails connot thrive with these pests npon
them. have used many preparations
e~fectualIy, but the most satisfactory Is
half an ounce of arsenic in one gallon Of
soft water. with this preparation sponge
the animal over: it will not only kill the
lice, but the eggs unmatched. To mix the
arsenic, use a wooden pail, putting the
arsenic in lie corner and adding a few
s~poonfuls Of water; rub the powder and
water until a paste is formed, then add
the water. This should be applied IN a
warm, sunny day. An infusion of lobelia
IS also good. When colts are turned to
grass, care should betaken that the hoofs
should be shortened at the toe and rasped
to prevent breaking and splitting, as well
as to take off as much as possible the
strain upon the back cords Of the legs"

As the amount of straw in oats crops
varies very greatly in this country, ac-
cOrding to the dryness or wetness of the
season, the average weight per acre in a
climate so different from that here as is
that of Great Britain, would be but an
unreliable guide for US. A very light

reach as high as three tons per

Swine.

If not self evident, it is believed that
a sufficient number of experiments have
been made to establishthe fact that swine
are self-sustainIng animals, and that
pork is one of the cheapest meats raised
upon a farm. The hog is a working an
imal, and if we'll supplied with sufficient
material for the first ten months of his
life, will produce a sufficient quantity Of
the best manure to be equivalent to his
value, giving him two months TO rest from
his labors and grow fat. Generally at one
year old IS the best time to Kill.
A word as to breeding. Il is quite
common 70 hIeed from young sows, saw
fall Pigs, to COM in with a litter Of pigs
when one year old, a practice to be Ut
terly condemned, and if continued in tho
same family for a few generations Of
the swine, they will be found to dwindle
down from three or four hundred hogs to
two or three hundred. Il is much better
TO keep the sow three or four years, OF
or even much longer, they have beenkept
some fifteen years TO advantage. The hog
IS some years in his natural state 10 na-
turing. 1t is a fact well known at least
TO every Irishman from the onld coan'
try, that pigs from old sows VIII gFsV
into hogs some thirty or forty pounds
heavier than those from young ones

TurniDS amOng Corn.

49,
In some recent notes we alluded to the
practice now becoming quite prevalent
there, of putting turnIps III the rows OF
corn. A correspondent Of a paper IN
Pennsylvania, says:
1.-The practice of sowing turnips among
Indian corn, at the last hoeing, and es-
pecially where the latter has been thin
ned by worms or other insects, Is one
which cannot too urgently be recommen-
ded. The turnip Is a vegetable which
requires less assistance from solar light
during the incipient stages OF It's deVel-
ment, than almost any plant III the whole
catalogue of edibles; consequently, 1t Is
but slightly injured by the foliage OF the
corn pian,s, or the clnSeneSs OF The at
n,o,nbete thus created. After the corn
is harvested, and before the advent OF
frost. there will be ample time for them
to root, especially if the soil be well cul-
,iva,ed. Burnt lands, in which the nat
nraI vegetative powers of the soil are
a%uomented by the alkaline principles OF
The ashes, are very favorable to the cul-
,iva,ion of turnips and when they are
sowed among corn on such, they almost
invariably produce a lucrative crop. Hun
drods of bushels of excellent turnIpS may
frequently be grown IN this way without
ory annreciabFe diminutiOn of the corn
cron. Economy is wealth." says the
adage, and It is certain no u can Prac-
lice il long without increasing TO some
ex,ent his mtans for future operations
and enterprises. In this business OF pro-
duciDg cheap crops in substitution for
the more expensive cereals, we gain sew
eral important advantages, among WHEN
NAV be mentioned as not the least prom
inent, the saving of time, and the re-
aliza,ion of a lucrative yield of produce
from land prepared for another species
of roots or grain. The ravages OF IN
sects often prove fatal to many vegetables
especially to Indian corn; and when this
happens, unless the vacated land can be
filed with some crop of later growth, il
must remain, either in part or wholly
idle.
Again. the turnlp bears late sowing 81
well that it may be grown on fields from
which early vegetables have been taken
it succeeds well after a crop Of peas
beans, &c. aas
Bone manure, wood ashes, lime ant
poudrette are all excellent articles to b
used in the cultivation of turnips. Grount
and crushed bones, and bones dissolved
in sulphuric acid-itself possessing pow
erful stimulant and manuriaI properties
makes an admirable dressing. Gypsum
also. is applied with success, both betor
and after planting. Green and termeh
ted manure should never be used on thi
crop.

Rats In the GPanaFv

a gentleman whose granarv ami rrs
misses generally were overrun with ra,s
writes TO the editor Of the North Brit
Ism AgrlcuEturist, that be had tried .,all
Inc various nostrums which yermin de-
str0yers and raj killers recommended,
and that all, without exception, had mis-.
eraoly failed. They did. indeed, man.
age TO Kill several, but, in a short time.
the rats seemed to swarm as tbick AZ
ever. They were so plenty and sotame
that they would feed with The pigs in ibo
same trough. and crouch around; even on
the backs of the cattle, when resting IN
stalls at night. And even shooting
a few Of them did not seem to scare tbe
rest away, or TO sensibly thin them. He
was greatly distressed and almost de.
spending of eve getting quit of them,
when a neighbor recommended a trial Of
cats. Having got a cat and two kittens,
made a crib for them in the rauarv
and had q carpenter to cut circular holes
In every door on the premises. The re.
suit was that in a short time his place
was perfectly clear of rats. For several
months past not a rat has been seen, the
having now increased to seven or
eight.

and flavor it may stand in comparison
with the best European varieties.

leaves, which are not abundant, like those
of Isabella, in most localities are subject
TO mildew in unfayorable seasons.
There are two other varieties that
should not be passed without a word, as
few who have gardens would like TO be
without them.

speaks as follows Of a celebrated grape
vine, much spoken Of, and its products
much doubted
The celebrated grapevine Of Montecito,
near Santa Barbara. was assured by the
owner to the writer. in the fall of 1859,
and that it yielded ia 1857 or 1858 over
five thousand punches of grapes-a fact
which has been much disputed, but from
a personal visit and inquiry we believe 1t
correct and true. This grapevine covers
an arbor of about thirty-fve feet long By

the trunk is twice as thick as a mans
