SIGNS OF A Coop Ox.-A prominent
stock-breeder gives the following as
his rule for Judging the points of an
OK: "You should stand before him and
be sure he has fine hazel eye, large
nostrils, long from the eye to the nos
tril, broad at and above the eye, rather
slim horns, toes straight out before
him, straight in the knees, bosom full,
back straight, and ribs round and wide
at his hips If you find these points,
you need not ask of what breed he is,
but if you want one buy him. A lit
tie black-eyed OK is not to be depended
on, as he will kick and be ugly, while
a short headed OK will start from the
whip, but he viii soon forget it.

Two RoGuEs INSTEAD OF ONE.-An
amusing incident is related of a woman
in England whose husband, very
wealthy man, died suddenly without
any will. The widow, DESTROYS of Sc
curing the whole property, concealed
her husbands death and persuaded a
poor shoemaker to take his place while
a will could be made. Accordingly he
was closely muf1led in bed as if very
sick, and a lawyer was employed to
write the will. The shoemaker in a
feeble voice bequeathed half of all the
property to the widow. "What shall
be done with the remainder ?" asked
the lawyer. 81 bequeath to the poor
little shoemaker across the street, who
has always been good neighbor and
deserving man :" thus securing a
rich bequest to himself ! The widow
was thunderstruck with the mans au-
dacious cunning, but did not dare ex-
pose the fraud and SO two rogues
shared the estate.

The MILKPML SICKNESS, This dis
case is very prevalent among calves
at this season of the year Once fast
hold Of the calf, it never fully RECEIVERS
from the effects of the disease. Its
symptoms, are, uneasiness, continual
blaring, dizziness of the eyes, emacia-
ton. Cause of disease, hiqh price of
butter, and the consequent interference
of the milk-pail, with the proper and
natural food of the animal. Cure: As
much new milk direct from the COW as
the calf will suck night and morning,
with a half pint of corn or barley
meal made into porridge-at noon.
This will effect partial cure. But as
before suggested, they never fully re-
cover from this disease.
Now, "an ounce of preventive, is
worth a pound of cure" is an old saw,
as true rs it is old. If you want good
calves, cows and oxen, let nature have
its course, and the calves have their
milk until their bone and muscle is
properly developed; and when wean-
ing them, be sure to give them an
amount of food equal to that you fitch
from them. And then, when the calves
are weaned, sell the poor ones to the
butcher and keep the selected ones
for your own herd. The reverse OF
this practice gives us small and poor
cows and oxen.

PRorAeAT1Ne ny CUTTINGS Propa-
eating by cuttings is not nearly SO well
understood by people generally as it
should be. We may say by gardeners
generally. Nearly all soft wood will
grow from cuttings, in the hands of q
careful person. 1t is a common way
20 multiply grapes, currants, goose
berries, etc; but few persons unac-
quainted with horticulture will attempt
the same thing with the raspberry and
mulberry, with which, following the
same method, they would be nearly if
not quite as successful So with flow
ering shrubs, which in propagating are
usually ''laid down" there is not the
least difficulty, though with some the
success is not so uniform aswith others.
All the arbor vines can be propagated
by inserting the branching of last years
wood four or five inches, without re-
moving the leaves. Prepare the bed
dig deeply, pulverize the soil well, and
put it in good order To be sure OF
the cutting growing, it should be in
serted five or six inches in depth, and
placed from four to six inches apart
the earth being pressed firmly around
them. They should be mulched, and
watered moderately in warm weather
when the ground is dry. They can be
either potted in the fall, or let remain
over winter, slightly protected with {
little straw or long manure.
Amateurs should plant grape-cut
ting with two eyes, the upper eye be
ing placed even with the ground.

USEFUL RECIPES. - WhaeUdsh that toW
mol RIB of--Mix up half pailful of
lime and water, take half pint Of flour
and make starch of it, and pour it
into the whitwash while hot. Stir it
well and it is ready for use.
10 Preserve Fruh-Pick off the
stems and put the fruit into bottles;
fill them quite to the top. Put the
cork on loosely, and set them upright
in pan of water; place this on the fire
till it nearly boils; let it stand after
wards for quarter of an hour. Pour
boiling water into each bottle, leaving
an inch untitled; cork tight, and allow
them to cool Pack them away with
the bottles placed horizontally, to keep
the corks moist. Fruit that is not
quite ripe preserves best.
To Wash Fianneis To wash flannels
and woven under-clothing, merino or
wool, the important point is to wash
them in warm water, rather above luke
warm, in which the soap has been
boiled or dissolved, and not to rub the
soap upon the wooden. Rinse them
thoroughly in water rather hotter than
that in which they have been washed
this removes the soap from the mate
rial instead of allowing it to remain
and get hard, as it does if the last wa
ter is not decidedly hotter than the
first. This plan will also be found to
succeed perfectly with fieecy or Berlin
wool; but then | generally wiring the
different articles or skeins by twisting
them up in a linen cloth, so as to avoid
straining the wool, and do not dry
them too quickly. But the important
point is certainly getting them thor
oughly free from the soap, which would
otherwise thicken and stilfen in the
fine pores of the wool.
TO make cheap Writing Ink Boil a
handful of maple, black walnut OF
chestnut bark in gallon of water.
When it is boiled down to a half gal
lon or quart, throw in q tablespoonful
of copperas. Then boil till it arrives
at proper thickness for use, which
can be known by trying it with pen
and paper.
TO Soften Hard JFater.-A few ounces
of soda will soften hogshead of the
hardest water. 1t is greatly superior
to pot or pearl ash, giving delicate
whiteness to the linen, without the
slightest injury, and it never, unless
excess is used, in the least affects the
hands

AMOUNT OF BUTTER AND CHEESE IN
MuK.-According to the reports of
several of the associated cheese dali
ries, an average of ten to fourteen
pounds of milk is required to a pound
of cheese. One pound of butter re-
quires on an average about fifteen
quarts of milk. This would give from
the same amount of milk about three
pounds of cheese to bne of butter. A
dairyman in Western New York, after
repeated trials of making cheese and
butter from the same quantity and
quality of milk, has found the above
proportion to be pretty uniformly
maintained. Occasionally the cheese
slightly exceeds the given rate. AT
present prices cheese would give the
best profit america Agricultutst.

The Corn GRUB.-The corn crop has
several formidable enemies to contend
with, and among them is the grub,
which sometimes literally destroys
whole fields, or damages the crop seri-
ously. One of the best and most con-
venient remedies-perhaps the very
best ever suggested-is the application
of salt as soon as the plant makes its
appearance above ground, prepared
and used in this way Take one part
common salt and three parts plaster
or gypsum, and apply about a table
spoonful around each hill. 1t will be
found to be sure protection. The
mixture should not come in contact
with the young plants, as it may de-
stroy them. This method has been
tried over and over again by some of the
best farmers of Pennsylvania, Della
ware, and New Jersey. and when we
properly applied, has never failed to
be perfectly successful We hope our
farmers, who have reason to fear the
depredations of the grub, the present
season, will try this mixture, leaving a
few alternate rows of corn without the

The CAMPHoR SToRM-GLAss. --Deal-
ers in philosophical and optical instru-
ments sell simple storm-glasses which
are used for the purpose of indicating
approaching storms. One of these
consists Of glass tube, about ten
inches in length and three-fourths of
an inch in diameter, filled with a hq
uid containing camphor, and having
its mouth covered with piece of blad-
der perforated with a needle. A tall
phial will answer the purpose nearly
as we'll as the ten inch tube. The
composition placed within the tube
consists of two drachms of camphor,
half drachm of pure saltpetre, and
half a drachm of the muriate of am
monia, pulverized and mixed with
about two ounces of proved spirits.
The tube is usually suspended by a
thread near q window, and functions
of its contents are as follows If the
atmosphere is dry and the weather
promises to be settled, the solid parts
of the camphor in the liquid contained
in the tube will remain at the bottom,
and the liquid above will be quite
clear but on the approach of n
change to rain, the solid matter will
gradually rise, and small crystalline
stars will float about in the liquid.
On the approach of high winds, the
solid parts of the camphor will rise IN
the form of leaves and appear near
the surface in a state resembling
fermentation. These indications are
sometimes manifested twenty-four
hours before storm breaks out. AT
ter some experience in observing the
motions of the camphor matter in the
tube, the magnitude of a coming storm
may be estimated also its direction,
innsmuch as the particles lie closer to-
gether on that side of the tube that Is
opposite TO that from which the conf
ing storm will approach The cause
of some of these indications is as yet
unknown but the leading principle
is the solubility of camphor in alcohol,
and its insolubility in water, combined
with the fact that the dryer the atmos-
phere the more aqueous vapor does il
take up, and uice uersa.-ScleItlfC

MOUNTAINS Mountains are to the
rest Of the body of the earth. what vi

man. The muscles and tendons of
anatomy are, in the mountain, brought
out with fierce and conyulsiye energy,

The plains and lower hills are the re-

Coon WooL.-1he editor of the
Name Farmer discourseth thus about
what constitutes good wool
The first requisite for good wool is
fineness, which is governed by and
produced under the laws of stock rails
ing, as the breed or variety, climate,
the summer aud winter food of the
sheep and their management.
The second requisite is softness.
This depends on the character of the
yolk or oily secretion which fills the
tube of the hair or fibre. This yolk
crystalizes in the fibre after shearing,
and renders it brittle and harsh, or
soft and silky, according as its charac-
ter is formed by those matters which
govern its growth.
The last requisite is the length OF
the wool or of the fbres composing it.
and this'is governed by climate chan
ges and the condition of the animal
