How TO LEAD ANMALs--Cattle, it is said,
of all descriptions horses, calves and sheep,
may be led by making a slipping moose and
fastening it to the lower jaw, passing the
rope (which must be smalD around the
neck and through the moose on the jaw. 1t

not obliged to go behind and ''push" After
once pulling, the sheep will follow right a.

ORIGIN OF THE CARTER POTAToEs.-About
thirty years ago, more or less, John Garter,
a resident of Savoy, in the county of Berk-
shire, experimental for the purpose of the
Improvement of potatoes by planting po-
tato balls and at harvesting the first year,
he found that he had advanced Que step
towards bringing out a new potato. He,
therefore, the next year, planted the seed,
raised the first, and so on for several years,
till he produced the potato now disting guish-
ed as the Garter" Mr.. Carter died soon
after, and therefore did not enjoy the full
glory of his discovery.
The amount of butter made in this coun-
try last year is estimated to be not less than
5l4, ,000, 900 lbs, valued at SS2,2T0, 900.

REMEDY FOR KICKING Cows-Cows seldom
kick without good reason for it, Teats
are sometimes chapped or the udder tender
harsh handling hurts them and they kick.
Sometimes long and sharp finger nails cut
their teats, and sometimes the milker pulls
the long hairs of the udder, while milking.
Shear off the long hairs, cut long finger
nails close, bathe chapped teats with warm
water, and grease them well with lard and
always treat a COW gently She will never
kick unless something hurts her, or she
fears repetition of former hurts When
handled gently, cows like to be MIXED.
When treated otherwise, they will kick and
hold up their milk. 1t is quite as consist
ent to whip sick child to stop its crying as
to whip or kick a cow, to prevent her kick
ing while being milked.

HOW TO RAISE AN APPLE ORCHARD.

lst Select your trees yourself if possible;
don't allow a refuse tree to be set-it is
only wasting time and care determine
that every mean scrub of a tree go to the
bonfire before it finds place in your orch
ard. See that the trees are carefully taken
up and carefully set in well prepared
ground
I'd. Let your land be carefully cultivated
for at least six years. Allow no grain, ex-
cept occasionally, perhaps, a crop of buck
wheat, but never crop of rye. The con-
trast between q cultivated orchard and a
neglected one is astonishing, and the two
only need to be seen to be appreciated.
Sd. Protect your trees from cattle, sheep,
mice and all destructive insects; otherwise
your labor may be all lost Exclude. all
domestic animals. Allow no mulching to
remain around the trees in winter to har-
Dor MICE and especially watch for the APP
pie borer, one of the most insidious enemies
Of the apple tree A gallon of soft soap d-
luted with one or two gallons of soft water
applied to the trunks of the trees, is an ex-
cellent thing for the trees, and is not agree
able to any insect. Nothing will kill an
insect quicker than soft soap.
4th. Follow up judioous system of
pruning, leaving a good spreading, open
head. By pruning annually, there will be
no necessity of saving off large branches,
and the result will be more project trees
Let the motto be followed" whatever is
worth doing, is worth doing we'll"

a singular Case OF Insanity.

On Monday we witnessed singular
case of insanity, and the remarkable
power that some persons have to con-
troll insane persons. As the morning
accommodation train from New Haven
to this city stopped at Southport, Con-
nectlcut, an insane woman, apparently
about thirty-five years of age, was for
chilly brought on board the cars by her
friends, TO be taken to the Insane Re-
treat at Bloomingdale. She was per-
fectly wild with excitement, and her
hands were firmly tied at her wrists to
keep her from tearing off her clothes.
As she was forced down in her seat,
and held there by her attendants, an
entire stranger approached her, and,
addressing few kind words to her, in
quired after her health, asked to see her
tongue, felt her pulse, ,smoothed her fore
head gently with his hand, and in a few
moments entirely soothed and ouieted
her. Her illusion was that she had lost
her head and feet! The stranger told
her she. was partly right and partly
true sheSs had temporarily lost her feet,
but that her head was all right, as was
proved by her showing her tongue,
He conversed with her nearly all the
way to the city; got her finally to admit
that her head was right, and told her
that when she got to TWenty-seyenth
street she would find her feet, ON
reaching there, the stranger requested
that he might take her out of the cars
and place her in a carriage. The friends
were incredulous; but consented. Tho
stranger then said, tWell, 1 told Won
you would find your feet when you got
here; and sure enough you have. Come
with me-" This was said mildly, but
with a firm voice of assurance and au-
thority, and, to the astonishment of all
present, she got up, followed her stran-
ger friend out of the cars, and allowed
place her in it. He then kindly bid her
good-by, and disappeared in the crowd,
without waiting TO receive the shower
of thanks from her friends.-N. Y.
