"There is one thing sure" said Mrs.
Partington, "the females of the present
regeneration are n hemp more indepen-
dent than they used to be. Why, Isaw
gal go by to-day, that know belongs
to the historical class of society, with
her dress all tucked up to her knees,
her hair all frizzled up like as if she
hadn't time to comb it for week. and
one of her grandmother's old caps, in IL
awful crumPled condition, on her head.
Why, laws, honey, when was n gal, If
any of the fellows come along when
had my clothes tucked up that way, and
back kivered with an old white rag, I
would run for dear life, and hide out of
sight. Well, gals, then were innocent,
unconfiscated critters; now they are
what the French call blazes."

Details of the loss of the steamer
Commodore show that those on board
made very narrow escape. Shortly
after the commencement of the gale,
which was terrific, she broached to, that
is, the wind came so heavily that she
refused to obey her helm, and could not
be kept on her course. At this time her
bulwarkS were stOved in, the forward
decks washed, and her smoke stacks
fell. The excitement now became in
tense, and all attempted to become re-
signed TO their fate, but every cOuntp-
nance depicted utter despair. MANY en-
gagged in prayer, and few lost their self
possession. Inside of the vessel stoves
tossed, and it was by the utmost efforts
of the crew and others that the vessel
was prevented from burning up. There
was an alarm of fire, but the flames
were eXtinguished. At ten o'clock the
fires were all put out and the danger
from that source avoided. For two
hours the vessel drifted at the mercy of
the waves, the captain and pilots being
successful only in keeping her headed
nearly south; the flood tide setting her
toward the long Island shore.
AT 2 a. NJ. Horizons Point was made,
the gale continuing without abatement.
She gradually dritted into little bay
about two miles west OF Horton Point
light. Her anchors were then dropped
in about two fathoms of water. Part
of the cargo had been thrown over
board. The pumps were kept con-
stantly Mt work; mt the same time two
lines of bnilers were formed, and did
admirable service.
In this condition the boat lay until
daylight, when the water gained so
rapidly that it was decided to beach
the vessel, which was done most sue
cessfully. The gale soon became still
more furious, If such were possible
The lifeboats were lowered, and one
was finally landed in the breakers.
Soon line was got ashore. The boats
were manned, and controlled until
several londs of passengers, comprising
the whole, were safely landed, and the
vessel afterward broke to pieces.

In valley below US, that ocean OF mist
Ere the tops hills have grown bright in its ray
With our scythes shoulders we're up and away

The rusIc of birds and the fr igrance OF flowers;
And trail 10 the frat that is in the dew,
As pathway through orchards and lanes pursue
The heimeted clover. in serried array,
Like host for the battle, awaits US to-day;
Like . host overthroHn rank by rank it shall lie

REMARKS -At the famous Canandaigua trial
last year the Prize for the greatest amount of
animal was awarded to merino sheep which
weighed 40 pounds, and which yielded fleece
weighing unwashed, 9.S5, pounds, and when
scoursC 40 pounds. This is equal on the
unsecured fleece TO 20 per cent. of live weigh,
and when factory secured to per cent Ii

lamb as taken off nearly II per cent. of

MANAGEMENT OF FowLs-The question is
often asked, how shall make my hens lay
when confined. In reply to such inquiries,
l would say-that by selecting the best breed,
and keeping them in well arranged coops-.
a small number in each apartment-aud feed
ing then properly, fouls can be induced to
lay nearly as we'll as when at liberty. Some
breeds will lay much better than others In
coops. Those breeds that possess quiet dis
position, and are not inclined 10 roam, are
preferred When fowls are kept confined,
they require variety Of food. Grain vegeta-
bIes and animal food of some kind, must be
furnished, or they will cease laying. Coarse
gravel or lime, IN some form should be kept
IN the coop; but, when allowed their liberty,
where foul have not been kept tor long time,
1t il unnecessary, for they can generally find
sufficient quantity of gravel or lime for their
purpose. The number kept together in one
coop should not, under any circumstances,
exceed fifteen as a small number will thrive
better. The coop should be light and dry :,
and well ventilated. 1t Is very gratifying TO
know that there is a growing interest among
our city and town people, as well as the
farmers, in keeping a few fowls they can
find that FIVE or six fowls can be kept upon
the waste from family, and supply them
with that great luxury-fresh eggs. The
quantity of poultry raised the past season, II
may safely be said, has been more than doub-
led, compared with what it was five years ago,
and much more care has been taken in the
selection and breeding OF thorough bred fowls.
Many are in favor of crosses the first Cross
from pure fowls will improve them, but we
cannot 90 beyond this with success.-John s.

CLEANLINESS OF SwINE.-In one respect
farmers commonly show their worst manage,
meDt IN fatteDIng hogs These animals ap-
precIate cleanliness, yet their owDers make
them live IN dirt, and then charge them with
a natural fondness for filth. TINS is oppres-
sion and Islander combined. Every person ia
miliar with their habits, knows that when
clean straw beds and other comforts are given
them, they are scrupulous to keep them
clean. When shut up in narrow pen,
where they must eat, sleep, and live in one
apartment, they cannot but be uncOmfort-
able and such condition greatly retards
their thriving. A 50 hog pen has become
proverb ially repulsive place: this is the
owners fault, and should never be suffered
There is no reason why it should lot be clean
and even attractive. We hear farmers who
raise grain cav that they have more straw
than they can sometimes use, while at the
same moment their hogs have not enough of
it To make dry and clean bed.
Animals can never thrive well unless kept
clean. Every one knows that we'll groOmed

been found when this treatment is applied TO
swine. Let every manager lay down this rule.

By its odor tire1ny feet distant. the sleeping
apartments should be separate, and kept per-
iectly clean and dry. The other portion
should be daily cleaned out, and the manure

which is as injurious to the health of swine
to breathe as it is to human beings. 1t Is no.

FRUIf TINS AND PorAToEs.-Msny wish to
seed down young orchards to grass, but dare
not for fear of injuring their trees. My plan
is to scatter potatoes under the trees, and COW
or with straw, Gags, shavings. new horse ma
nure where bedding was used freely, &c.
Cannot recommend tan bark, although il
might prove well. The space covered should
be a. large as the top Of the tree. If dry
straw is used. the bed should be at least one
and one half feet deep, if heavier material
are used it need not be as thick.
In the fall remove the straw and potato tops
and cart into compost heaps, and you will
find from one to five bushels of clean, nice
potatoes under each tree, If property planted.
This is very cheap way to raise potatoes
without blowing or hoeing soft bed for
the apples to fall on is also secured, and, best
of all, it mulches the ground so completely
that it proves as well, If not better for the
trees, than blowing. Potatoes can be raised
in barn-yards or elsewhere in the same man
ner.
Forest leaves may be gathered in the fall
and kept dry by building square pens for
them and covering them over with wild gras.

Sheep can stand cold weather without in

PUTTING BUGs To UsE.-A correspondent OF
the Vermont Former says: IS Having seen 1t
several times stated that the little issect known
as the lady bug would keep plants free from
spders and other vermin, last year put lady
bug on to each Of three coffee plants which had
begun to be infested with lice. These bugs re-
NAMED two three 81 of the bed during
the whole season, and these rows were entirely
free from vermin, while the other part of the
bed was badly damaged by lice. If the lady
bugs we're Instrumental in this matter They may
be considered as the friends of the gardener,
and their presence should be considered a
blessing. They might be made especially ser
viceable to house plants. This bug, a. you
probably know, is of q reddish yellow, with
black stripes, and is about the size and shape
of half good-sised pea, and multitudes can be
easily found in early summer on alder and 9TH
er bushes.
