F EXPENSE OF DoGs.-the statistics of Ohio
 show that in 1863 there were in that State 17S.472 dogs. Let ns suppose that this num- Der in 1860 was l75, ,000. As this State had in 1860 population of 2,339,55l and the pop ulation of the States in our tables was 22, ,03O,- l99 the number of dogs in proportion to the
 population would be l,647 ,880. Thus we see
 that tax of one dollar per head would fully
 meet the damages done by them and surely when legislation is demanded for the protec- tion of wool and woolens, 2 tax so just should not be denied by Congress- Patent Obaee Re. a,Orz tts-tt ~

THE EXTRA TICKET.

When the opera of the Prophet" was first brought out in Paris, so great was the demand for seats, that tickets were sold at a most ex- travagaAt premium. One night military off. | cer, who had just made an unsuccessful appll- cation for ticket at the office box and was about to fall back in despair, was dexterOusly relieved of his watch by pckpocket. Detec- ting the thief before he had time to escape he recovered the stolen time piece without the interposition of policeman. Then, taking the culprit aside he entered into conversation with him.
 You are an expert in your profession said skill . '''" VI Jo''
 Monsieur le Captaine may command me to the utmost ot my abiities,' said the sharper Then whispered the officer, 'go immediate y and relieve some gentleman of bis opera ticket and l will pay you one hundred francs Tor 1t: No hesitation be quick the money is ready.
 , It shall be done,' was the sharper's business like answer.
 In three minutes the adroit rascal retarned With an elegant card case containing four opera tickets, together with number of cards hay Ing the name Of Madamoiselle Solange Dudev- ant engraved upon them.
 Wretch r exclaimed the captain, ,syou have been robbing lady,
 No, indeed, sir,' replied the thief. There is my victim.'
 As the sharper made this nonchalant reply, no pointed to a young rosy checked young gentleman in black dress coat, black tights, and white vest, with plain flat buttons, and white kid gloves, who was engaged in an ani- mated conversation with a couple of young ladies just within the vestibule.
 Dolt y exclaimed the captain that is a la dy dressed en caoalier. It is Madamoiselle Solange Dudevant horself Return the article immediately
 Monsieur is right said the pickpocket. No one but brute would knowingly rob lady especially when the lady is daughter ot George Sand, whom we all love so well. Ex- cuse me, Monsieur; rely upon it, I will yet succeed in procuring ticket
 In an instant the sharper placed himself be- fore M 'lle., Solange with profound bow.
 Begging Madamoisele's pardon, he said, She had the misfortune to drop her card case. I
 Thank you most kindly replied Madamois. eae Solange, taking the card case in her hand. Allow me to reward you for returning it.
 As to that, Madamoiselle,' said the shar per, permit me humbly to suggest that you have four tickets for the grand entertainment in your case, whereas. your party consists of only three persons a5. ..r
 You, then, would like to have the extra ticket?' asked the lady.
 Exactly so, madamoiselle,' blandly replied

 The sharper took the ticket to the young of- ticer, who having noticed the manner in which it was obtained, did not hesitate to receive it, and handed him over the promised hundred francs.
 On taking his seat in the opera house the captain found himself elbow to elbow with Mile Dudevant, with whom he was we'll ac- quainted. He frankly explained to her the equivocal process by which he had procured his ticket, and the lady laughed at the trick of which she was the unconscious victim.

THE HAY CRoP.-Judging from somewhat limited information, we think the hay crop of the county will be below the average. Clover was badly winter-killed, and daisies and J une grass have taken the place of more productive grasses. These require early cutting, in fact 'the expe:lence of all good farmers is in favor of securing hay much earlier than formerly.

EARLY HAY FoR M1LcH Cows.-Mr. Scott, a highly successful dairyman of Vermont, has all his hay i'll the barn by the first of July. MT. Lewis, prominent dairyman of Herki- mer county, fully indorses the practice of MT. Scott. He said, on late occasion. that he demonstrated from actual experiment that such hay was in every way better for mich COWS than hay as ordinarily harvested, and an addi. tlonal feed of meal. Since he had abandoned the use of grain and depended upon the hay made from early cut grass, nicely cured, his cattle had escaped the various troubles to whi ell | they were subject on the other course of treat. ment, and their. condition as to flesh was all that could>be desired. He thought farmers iu time would come to see the advantages of se curing hay of this character, since it approx imates very nearly to grass in pastures, and 1 contains all the clements for the develop ment of milk, flesh and muscle in connection with htgh degree of health.

YOUNG TURKEYS.

Young turkeys are very tender things at the best, and for the first few days they will eat but little food. Unless the weather be quite warm, they would rather be broodeil than cat. A little careless feeding or little too much Indian meal, will fix them so that they will give no more trouble. Don't be in too much haste to have them eat as much as they can swallow they are little feeble things, and they w no fafSs ii SnEa E ahs1 a ed will soon become very tired of it. Give them little boiled egg every day, in connection with the curd wheat flour and Indian meal wet up with milk is also good do not use too much Indian meal, as it will kill young tur- keys. sometimes, before We know It. A little boiled potato, o,--,-mashed ine--,wthout salt, which is sure death to them--will be useful. Wheat bread, soaked in milk, is also good. Keep their pen and coop clean, and let them have pan tull of fine, dry sand to wallow in , when the sun shines and they will also begin to swallow fine grains of sand, in order to set their grinding apparatus in operation.
 After they are week old, they should be let out of their enclosure for an hour or two each day, when it is warm and dry when cold night or cold storm comes on, spread a blanket in a large basket, and carry them into the barn. As soon as they are large enough to eat kernels of wheat, one or too feedings of soaked wheat per day will be good food for them Ohio Furmer. .--.
