Cattle Growing on the PrairieS.

This business at the West is subject to
a few drawbacks which the East does not
share with it. Chief among these are
the natural fountains bursting from Eas-
tern hill-sides, which are generally want
ing on the prairies. But frequent streams
partially remedy this evil. furnishing wa
ter to the herds upon the unfenced ''prairie
range" Many prairie farms are desti-
tute of water for stocl1--though a new
method of draining, called mole draining,
promises TO do something toward supply
ing fountains on these places; but wells
must be the main dependence Of farms
not located upon living streams.
For the butter-dairy the water Of the
creeks and slough streams is not equal to
the mountain springs Of New York or
Vermont, but cheese can be made from
the same dairy fully equal to Herkimer's
best.
In choosing a location for growing cat
tie on the prairies, durable water should
be chief consideration--extensive range
gives pasturage IN abundance wherever
water is found, while the contrary is not
always the case.
The East has an advantage over US In
economically supplying durable shelter
for stock. Very much Of the great prairies
of Iowa and Nebraska are destitute of
lumber sufficient for building purposes,
and must mainly depend upon straw and

RemedY fOr Craeked HOofs.

A horse raiser in Ohio says, / have
seen several very bad cases Of cracked
hoofs, where the hoofs were cracked up
to the hair. They were cured in a short
time entirely sound, by the use Of a shoe
made as follows,
Have a heavy common shoe made with
two iron bands or strips, about one inch
wide, sufficiently strong, welded to the
shoe, near the heel, and made to ct the
hoof in front, within an inch or two Of
meeting, with hole in each strip for
bolt to pass through, with tap on one
end. After putting on the shoe, soften
the hOof by greasing-pour in little tur-
pentine then put in the bolt, and draw
the crack moderately tight by turning the
tap. Draw little closer every day, I'll
the crack is closed, and you will have a
perfect cure IN a short time. The bands
must be turned up about an inch al the
ends in front, for the bolts to pass through

Drought in vermont.

A correspondent of the Journal at the
White River Junction, writes on the l4th
that not within the memory of the Oldest
inhabitant has this State ever been so dry
before. Rocks are peering their tops
above the waters Of the majestic Connec-
ticut which were never In sight before.
An extensive farmer informs me that he
is obliged to employ men to water his nu-
merous cattle and sheep, as springs from
which they obtained their supply hither-
to supposed to be unfailing, had dried up,
and that unless we had rain within a few
DAYS, he should drive his herd from the
pastures to the barn and fodder them as
in the winter season"

From the scisntifo Amerioanl
PurlacatIon Of Water.

As the water with which many cities
are supplied becomes impure and unfitfor
drinking during warm weather, unless il
is purified by some artificial process, the
following are some methods which may
be nsed for this purpose, and win be very
useful.
In India the natives never drink clear
well water, if they can get pond or river
water, which is always more or less i'm
pure, according to various circumsian-
ees, and which they treat in a peculiar
manner. One Of the seeds of plant,
belonging to the family which furnish a
deadly poison-strychnine-is well rub
bed for minute or two around the IN
side Of the vessel containing the water,
generally an unglazed earthen one, which
is then left to settle; in a very short time
the impurities fall to the bottom. leaving
the water clear and, SO far as we have
been able TO learn, perfectly wholesome.
These seeds are constantly carried aboul
by soldiers ii time Of war, 10 enable them
to purify the water. The people Of India
also have simple method of softening
hard water by boiling it. In a report
made to the British Government in 1851
on the water of London, by Professors
Graham, Miller and Hoffman, those en-.
inent chemists stated, that, in making OK.
periments, with artifcially prepared hard
water, containing 13 grains of carbonate
of lime per gallon, the rising Of it to The
boiling point reduced the hardness from
IL to ll:2 degrees. Ebulliiion, contins

The fret five minuies' boiling bad se
effect IN reducing the hardness of The wa.
ter than all the rest put together, and i
is evident that, to produce the full effect,
more prolonged boiling is necessary, as
the effect is not instantaneous, but pro-
gressive.
Several years ago, Professor Clark, Of
Aberdeen, Scotland, took out a patent in
England, j, for purifying hard water by the
addition of a little freshburned lime.
Coarse sand, gravel and charcoal, laid
in successive layers, purify and deodor.
ize water that is passed through such q
iltering bed but the materials require
to be renewed frequently, as their pores
fill up with use, and cease to remove the
impurities. Alum has a wonderful eapac-
ity for precipitating the mud IN water. M.
Darcet found that seven and a half grains
Of alum rendered, in the course Of an hour,
quart Of muddy Nile water, perfectly
clear and transparent.
The action in this case is a strictly
chemical one. The salt is decomposed,
and sulphate Of lime is precipitated

Raising ETergreens from the Seed.

Plant the seed IN fine rich mould, COW
ering them by sitting fine earth or mould
over them, to depth of a-third of an
inch-keep the soil constantly moist by
shading, and if the seed are good and
fresh, they will come up in a few days.
The depth of planting must vary with the
size of the seed. The young plants will
need constant shading, at least the first
season.-.AIbany CtItiUdtor.

Cheap Fences.

The following is a cheap fence. Il
has the advantage of taking up but little
room, as the rails are laid nearly straight
1t is made as follows: Take your rails
and place stones near where the rails
lap-then drive two stakes, five feet or
more long, one on each side, and lay up
your rails until the third one-then lake
wire and fasten the stakes together-then
lay up your rails to the desired height,
and fasten wire across the top Of the
stakes close to the upper rails, and your
fence is complete, making a large saving
of land.
