The Merrimac, which made such terrible
haVQc with our feet in the soa-6gbt off New
port News before she encountered the Monitor,
was originally one of the largest and finest YES
sells ever built for the United States Navy
She was entirely new, and was captured by the
rebels at n Norfolk, where she lay for some re-
pairs last spring. The Confederates encased
her in IRON and made a terrible floating bat
terry out of her. Some time since il was re-
ported in the Norfolk papers that the Merri-
mac was failure; that in the reconstruction
of her a mistake bad been made which render
ed her unserviceable. It is now probable
from her late performance, that this report was
false, and simply intended to put the blecka
ding squadron off their guard against her.

Breaking Hoifsrs for Milking.

This is often. made quite serious
affair, in which kicks and bruises are
freely exchanged between the fright
ened brute and the irritatHd master.
Many an otherwise excellent mixer
is spoilea for life by harsh treatment.
A heifer if well broken to the milk
pail, is thereby made worth at least
twenty per cent more--ans increase
which will pay for muchpainstaking.
Rarey's reasoning respecting horses
aRplies equally to other animals
Thot only resist when injury rs ap-i
pretended, and their natural instinct
suggests danger whenever any unusu-
81 treatment occurs. Every one has
NOTICED how shy creature is in Gu
tering strange enclosures, or at sight
of neW objects. The handling of a
heifer's bag is to hera very unusual
proceeding, and, in addition, the teats
are often tonder, and the bag caked
and iufamed so as to be painful under
gentle touch. Training for milking
should commence long before calving.
First teach the ANIMAL to welcome
your coming by little presents Of APP
ble.. % handful of corn, or salt, or 9TH
OF delIcaoy, SHE will soon readily
permit the hand to be laid upon her
back, and enjoy the gentle rubbing
and, scratching which may. be given.
Extend the handling TO diiferentparts
of the body, until she will not finch
from grasping her teats, and the work
may soon be accomplished without
even a harsh word. This win he a
good lesson for the boys to practice
and teach them patience and kindness,
in addition to the good effects upon
the animals.--[ American Agricultu-

WHAT Diplomats THINK OF THE REBELLION.
We have il from good authority that Mr..
Hulseman, the minister from Austria to this
country, has stated that every one Of the for
eign representatives at Washington had come
to the conclusion that the days of the rebellion
were numbered, and that the power of the
Federal Government would be soon fully re-es-
tablished in all the now seeded States, and
moreover, that the foreign ministers had sent
dispatches to their respective Governments TO
this effect In few weeks we shall, therefore
probably see great change in the tone Of the
foreign official journals in regard 10 our present
war-TN. Y. Evening Post.

be provided, OF rich, well prepared soil. But
where number of vines are to be planted
with the view to train them to trclHs, ii well
drained border of not less than ten .eut wide
and eighteen inches deep should he prepared.
In preparing the border the ground should lie
regularly trenched, and as we have said, not
less than eighteen inches deep. This is done
by opening trench say two feet wide, to the
depth designed, and this is filed with the soil
taken from the next trsneh. usdaily putting
the suFlaee-soiEat the bottom. If the sub-soil
is poor, it should be thrown out and carted
away and its place flied with good, rich soil
composed Of decayed turf weIlsrotted stable
manure bones, etc.. So that the eptire depth
trenched shall be filed with soil sufficiently
rich to grow any garden crop We have OBJ
served that many persons who have .upderlak-
en- trenchiug for vines etc, have merely jnvcr'
ed the earth and soil, placing the surface soil
at the bottom OF the trench and the sub-so |

Even il vines have been well planted, here,
almost universally, begins the first great errVT,
in the total neglect OF training. Instead Of
cutting back the vine to, three eyes, all that

grow, producing by tall mass OF small, weak,
unripe shoots, Instead Of one good, strong, well
maIured shoot, as would have been the case had
all of the power OF the vine been concentrated
into Il single channel.
The 1ine should bo cut down to three eyes
or buds although but one shoot should be per
mlted to grow the flst season, yet it would
uot be safe 10 cut the vine down to a single
eye, lest by accident that one should be destroy
ed. But if all three start and and grow, when
they are three inches long the weakest ope
may be rubbed of and, after few days. if no
accident occurs to the etheps. the next weakest
one may be removed. The second or middle
