LICE ON CATTLE.

There are various simple modes Of
killing lice On neat cattle. Yellow
Snuff, sifted On the heads and backs Of
animals is pretty sure to kill the most
common kinds of lice. Snuff is better
than tobacco juice, and it is more safe,
and not likely to do any harm. But it
is said there are certain kinds of lice
which are not afraid Of snuff. Well,
take some lamp oil ana apply it to the
heads and shoulders Of the cattle.
Oil and greasy matter Of all kinds are
very disagreeable to all kinds Of vermin,
and we doubt rot thorough smearing
of the head, neck and back of animals
will drive awayall these troublesome Wis
ltors. Ashes sprinkled Oh the backs of
cattle will often clea- them Of vermin.
So will sand Or any kind Of earthly mat
ter. Cattle that lie out, whers they can
choose for themselves, are seldom lousy.
They are fond Of covering themselves
with sand wherever they can find loose
bank to scatter about. Hens running
at large, and where they find sand in
plenty to wallow in, are not usually
lousy. A bed OF ashes is still better,
and they should slways be accommoda-
ted with painful in their enclosure =

Claiming to be practical agricul-

the above named article, l pronounce it
far supersor to Buckwheat for bread.
Its planted the same as corn, and will
yield eighty bushel to the acre, the grain
weighing sixty pounds to the bushel,
and making forty-fye pounds Of -four to
the bushel. And what is better still, it
is never-failing crop. Every farmer
should procure seed the coming season.

NEW VEGETABLES.

The Committee on Vegetables, ap-
pointed by the Massachusetts Horticul-
tural Society, mentioned in the last vol
ume of Transactions, new Tomato
and new scarlet Egg Plant, Of which
they speak thus highly
g The new Tree Tomato, for the first
time placed on the tables at the weekly
exhibitions by G. G. Hubbard, Esq. is
one that seems to possess the following
superior qualities the color is bright,
clear scarlet, shape very perfect, flesh
solid and Of excellent flavor, fruit grow
ing in rich heavy cluster on tree-like
form. 1t must naturally be earlier, and
much more ornamental to the kitchen
garden if well cultivated and strongly
staked, than the older varieties. Your
committee would recommend its culture.
"The new Scarlet Egg Plant, intro
duced from France, grownb by Mr.. James
Mclean, and placed on the table for the
first time this season, was indeed a
beautiful and ornamental variety ;
though possessing no merit for culinary
purposes, Except for garnishing dishes }
it rlpened some OK the most beautiful
and rich scarlet fruit we have ever seen.
1t should find place wherever an orna-
mcnt for kitchen garden is desired, as
we know nothing that can surpass it in
color and attraction. 1t being new and
but little known Of the beauty and du-
rability of its fruit, it did not receive
the attention 1t merited consequently,
the fruits exhibited were not so large
and fair as we may expect so see
another season."

HAiXED BEANS.

Baked beans are a Saturday and
Sunday dish with many farmers. Ii
cooked for dinner Saturday, little cook
inc need be done Sabbath day in a FAM
ily that is fond of them. The fresh
sweet baked bread, baked Saturday:
good butter and cold pork and beans,
need no other addition than cup of
coffee or tea and pastry and fruit for
dessert. Here is what we find credited
to an Exchange
"Few people know the luxury of
baked beans simply because few cooks
properly prepare them. Beans generally
are not cooked half long enough. This
is sure method: Two quarts Of mid
ding sized white beans, two pounds of
salt pork and one spoonful Of molasses.
Pick the beans over carefully, wash
them, and add gallon Of boiling hot
soft water; let them soak in it over
night; in the morning put them in fresh
water and boil gently, till the skin is
very tender and about to break, adding
a teaspoonful of saleratus. Take them
up dry, put them in your dish, SO as to
have the beans cover all but the upper
surface turn in boiling water till the
top is but Just coverd; bake with a
steady fire four or five hours. Watch
them, and add more water from time to
time as it dries away.o

TREES.

Coultas says, g a Tree is indisputa-
bly, the most highly developed form
which vegetable life assumes. 1t is
Gods own Architectural
We indorse it. 1t is a symbol of
human growth and development-of hu-
man progress. And we have thought
while setting here under these oaks
that man need write no other autobi-
ography than that of recording each
prominent event by the planting of a
tree, shrub Or vine. No other family
record need be made-associate the
names Of relatives and friends with a
living, beautiful object, as tree. The
history of neighborhoods is thus written
in the memory of the early settlers.
Essays and written and hackneyed
directions are given for planting trees,
but it has often occurred to us that there
should be something said of ,chere the
tree should be planted. 1t should be
made stud y-not to get a score of
them in straight line, forming an av-
enue from the front gate to the front
door of the dwelling house, but to drop

TO PREFEET "sKIPpEs.S IN
HAMS

In communication to the Cotton
Planter, Mr.. W. Melville says:
"Therc is, according to MY expert
ence, nothing easier than to avoid the
skipper and all worms and bugs that
usually infest and destroy so much ba-
con. 1t is simply to keep your smoke
house dark, and the moth that deposits
the eggs Will never enter it. For the
past 20 years | have attended to this,
and have never had my bacon troubled
with any insect. l have now hanging
in my smoke-house hams, one, two and
three years old, and the Oldest are as
free from insects as when first hung up.
l am not aware Of other causes for the
exception of my bacon from insects,
but simply the fact that my smoke
house is always kept dark. Before
adopting this plan, 1 had tried many
experiments, but always either without
success or with injury to the flavor of
my bacon. Ismoke with green hickory:
this is important, as the flavor of bacon
is often utterly destroyed BY smoking
with improper wood.o
