Calls on HOrses.-As the heat and labors Of
the season increase, horses viii suffer from various
fesh-wounds, which, if not Immediately cured, will
cause great suffering to the horse, and waste of
time and temper to the owner. Let, therefore, a
hint or two, be now needed:
Prevention is better than In the first place,
be sure that your harness is in perfect working
der See to it especially, that the collar fits WELL
and is smooth and hard. If the inner surface is
rough, it must chafe, and soon wear off the skim
loose layer of leather under the collar is good
continuance to lessen friction upon the animals
neck and shoulders.
While spring work is pressing, let the horses
shoulders be washed, every other morning, with
solution of alum and whiskey. This being pow
erful astringent, will serve to tougher the skin and
prevent its breaking AT night, when coming home
from work, sweaty and sore, let the shoulders be
washed in tepid water, then rubbed dry. If, not
withdrawing these precautions. gals occur on the
breast or back, wash them clean, then apply an
ointment, made by mixing together a spoonful of
pulverized alum and the white of an egg.-Am.

On Mixing SOiIs.-A. A. Pierce writes to the
American Agricultural, detailing an experiment
Of this character, as follows
81 had a piece of ground which had become re.
duc0d by succession of crops so that itproduced
only FIVE hundred pounds of hay to the acre. l
wished to dig cellar under my barn, and conclu-
ded to try an experiment with the earth which was
taken out. measured off one acre of the field
above mentioned, and drew the earth from the eel
lar upon it, covering the piece to the depth of two
or three inches, when it was evenly spread. This
was turned under the same autumn, to the depth
of elk inches. The next Spring it was narrowed
thoroughly, and onehalf planted to potatoes, and
the other half sown to oats. The result was one
hundred and twenty five bushels of potatoes, of as
fine quality as I ever raised, and thirty bushels
of oats. / again plowed it in the autumn, going
two inches deeper than the previous blowing. In
the spring l thoroughly mixed and pulverized the
soil, and sowed to wheat, and seeded clover and
Timothy grass, had stout growth ofstraw, but
owing to the weevils, the yield was but fifteen
bushels of wheat 1 have since cut two tons Of
hay to the acre for two years, think the four
crops have well paid me for the trouble of trying
the experiment, and the result has been, thus far,
quite as good as though had applied thirty loads
of manure to the land. The soil was clayey the
earth applied was yellow loan. think the mix
ing of soils, as clay upon sand or sand upon clay
will prove Of great benefit where the materials for
making an abundance of manure are scarce.

And Love goes mourning through the iaho'

Drilling Whent.-The Hon. David Croker
of Tompkins Co., N Y, recommends farmers who
drill in their wheat to set the gauge to drop
only half the quantity of seed that they desire to
plant per acre. and after going over the field once,
turn the other way and put in the other half, so
that the plants will stand in checks instead ofrows
He puts in two bushels per acre. and thinks itpro-
duces better from being so much more evenly
planted over the whole surface, so that it more
than pays for the extra labor.

BOYAL SPORTS The French Court has
opened new channels Of amusement at FOn-
tain nOleau this summer. The ladies and gen
tlemen sit in q row on the banks Of the foses,
at the 5ettom of the park, each armed with q
long wand, at the end>Of which is attached a
two prOnged fork. Servants beat the rushes
et each end Of the fosse, and frogs pass back
ward and forward beneath the wall It is
during their passage that they are caught
between the prOngs of the fork: and il requires
no small de1teTity, not go much in the catch
ing IN the holding fast when caught, as, if
not drawn up with the greatest precaution,
they are apt 10 get free. In the opposition Of
the angler TO any such intention consists the
great fun, and renders the amusement Of frog
fishing one Of the most noisy and exciting Of
all those sports which embellish country life
In France. 1t is in this branch of the sport
that the Emperor takes the lead. The cum
ming man now and then watches till Madame
WaleWski, best frog-catcher Of all the ladies,
Is absorbed in bagging n more than usually
animal to his own prong. Such a contest
engages the attention Of the whole company.
Lsrge sums are lost and won by those who bet
upon the first filed basket; but the Emperor's
hackers are generally safe, while those who,
relying upon Madame Walewski's clever har-
pOoning, choose to venture q stake upon the
number Of frogs drawn from the water In any
given time, are seldom wrong; but ii is in the
landing that fails; and his Majesty, who
always insists sitting next to the fair sports.

The DEADLY RIFLE.-The returns of killed
and wounded at the battle of Bull Run are
necessarily imperfect but enough have been
received to show that the losses among officers,
especially commissioned ones, are much larger
in proportion to their number, than among
privates The killed are 2 colonels, lieuten-
ant colonel, majors, Is captains, z lieuten-
ants; the wounded, acting major generals, 8
solonels, lieutenant colonel, 3 majors, 16 cap
tains, SO lieutenants. The casualties among
captains are particularly noticeable. Making
every allowance for the extra exposure Of Off
GERS on horseback and those on foot in front or
at the side of their companies there is still no
doubt that a large number of the killed and
disabled on that fatal day were singled out and
shot by expert marksme en-, who were enabsed to
take deliberate aim from rifle pits and behind
trees. The distance between the hostile forces
was repeatedly small enough to permit the
picking off of individuals with perfect certain
ty by any person moderately skilled in the use
of the rifle. What loss was sustained among
the officers of the enemy is not known; but as
many thousands of the United States forces
were also armed with rifles, it may fairly be
supposed that the shsrpshooters in our ranks
used these weapons with deadly effect upon the
wearers of shoulder straps and swords, where
ever they could be seen.
Both the General Government and the sew
eral State Governments are making every eff
lort 10 supply troOf5 with the MIME, Enfield,
OF other approved variety of rifles. New York
State has already distributed among her SOL
diers about IL, 900 rifles and more are arriving
to order by every steamer. 1t is hoped that
the new quota of $4,000 from this State will be
armed with these weapons, and not be COM
pelled to feel their inferiority to troops from
the New England States, constantly passing
through this city to Washington, all of whom
carry rifles, and, what would be more serious,
to feel that they are unequal on the battle
field to the enemy, large proportion Of
whom are most effectively rmed.-JournaL
