Nov tlsat the District prosecuting

proper to inquire by what authority
he collects and receipts for fines i'm.
posed upon persons for selling liq-
uors, and IL he has authority TO
make such collections, whether 1t is
not his duty TO pay the amount 50
coiaestasi into the county Treasury ?
We make this inquiry now, be-
cause we understand that the Dis
trict attorney collected at the last
term oftiae court, fines imposed up
on persons fnr selling liquors, and
made no return Of the moneys SO
collected. Heis now here and per

Saving off the Horns of Cattle.

Professor Spooner, President of the
Veterinary College, London, on a trial
in Dublin, gave the following evidence:
81 have said that l consider this to be
q very gross act of cruelty, and for
this reason, that the horns of oxen are
unlike those of the deer Species
These have large proportion of bone
growing out from the bone of the
head, and that is surrounded by a
heavy sensitive structure, so that, to
cut the horns, they had to go below
where it was simply horney, and the
animal had to suffer great pain.
The nearer the operation was per-
formed to the skull the greater the
suffering. That bone was hollow
that is to say it had not one single
horned cayity-but it had several cells
which extended into the head, though
not to the brain, but close to it,
These cavities were exposed, by the
removal of the horns, to the air and
as they were lined with a delicate SEN
sitive membrane-there being besides
delicate sensitive covering outside
great suffering must be caused.
The cavities were never intended
by nature to be exposed to the air,
which brought on an inhammatory
condition. These cavaties were very
apt to be inflamed and the infiamma-
ton was very likely to be extended to
the membranes of the brain, causing
madness, lockjaw, or other dangerous
results. This operation is one of the
most painful and unwarrantable that
could possibly be performed on cat
tle.''

When to Buy a Farm.

Very few persons seem to know
that the months of June and July are
the best in the year in which TO look
for or purchase "a farm. AT that
season one car judge whether the
land can or does produce good crops,
for if it is rich, the waving grass and
grain will be ocular demonstration OF
the fact; and if there is according to
the sterotyped assertion, an abun-
dance Of choice fruit, it can be seen
at that time to the best advantage
The low lands will show whether they
are reslly dry enough for pastures,
in Summer, and the upland its capac-
ity for withstanding 8 drought. II
there, are any mosquitoes about they
will usually make their appearance
known at this time il ever, and by
observing the children in the neigh
borhood one can readily determine
whether the locality is healthy or
otherwise.
Summer is also very good time
to..view the never failing spring and
the trout, pond near by, and a
dra1ght from the one and lunch
from the other are attractions which
those who possess them seldom fail
to bestow upon those who are likely
to become purchasers. Even the
weeds on farm will assist q man in
determining its value, for if nothing
but stunted rag-weed and five-fnger
are to be seen, then the land may be
set down as poor indeed; but if bur-
docks and catnip abound, it shows
lime and strength to produce crops
ofs high order.
The pasture and meadow, orchard
and garden, all show what they are
and what may be expected of them
in these months J but earlier or later
the aspect of things may change. In
the Spring the trees have not showed
leaves, flowers or fruit; the roads are
muddy, if ever, and the distance from
the railroad station to the farm ap-
gears to be much greater than it &C
tually is, especially to q stranger In
Autumn the leaves are turning vel
low, the grain has been gathered,
and the dry stubble is all that re-
mains, and the fruits are nearly gone;
still the air is fresh and the land
scape glowing with Autumn tints;
but the valuable products of farm,
which are its products, are mainly
out OF sight, being stored in the barn
or in the proprietor's pocket

Gathering Fruit.

In gathering fruit of any kind ex
cept wslnuts, care should be taken
not to break tic fruit spurs. Some
people take apples, pears dc. SO
roughly that the fruit spurs come
away with the fruit. Treading rough
ly on the branches or striking tho
tree with poles, will produce wounds
which do not rapidly heal. Unripe
fruit does not como away easily from
the wood, and on this account dc
gree of force has to be used. whicl,
sometimes fractures spurs and small
branches. In gathering Enolisb
walnuts, it is customary to beat the
trees with poles, fracturing the
branches. 1t is said that this treat
ment causes abundance of new fruit
bulbs to grow, and The productiveness
OF the tree is greatly increased by
this method of rough handling

Thinning Out Currant Bushes.

Now is the time. Immediately after
the fruit is gathered, to prune currant
bushes. We know that it is more
commonly done in the early spring,
but not because it is the best time,
except that il is more convenient.
But it does not always answer to at
tend to such matters when il is found
to be most convenient: some regard
must be paid to the appropriateness
Of time, if you expect the results to
follow. -
II bushes are sufficiently manured
and cultivated in mid summer. a
great difference will be seen in the
crop of fruit next season. Another
benefit that may be derived from sum-
mer pruning is the destroying OF many
insects that infest the bushes. Burn
all unnecessary limbs cut a way, and
you will destroy many insects attach

A Ton of Hay by Measure

1t is a matter of considerably dis
pute how much hay in the NOW
ought to be allowed as a ton in
weight. In some of the agricultural
journals figures widely apart are Civ.
en- as correct. Some assert that q
cube of ten feet square, or 1000 Gu
bic feet; while others place it as low
as 6 feet square and feet deep, OF
only 1872 cubic feet. Now, both OF
these cannot be right, neither can any
measure be fixed upon to hold good
under all circumstances. Hey, "a,
the bottom of the NOW, will be more
solid than at the surface, and the
whole will be very much affected by
the quantity Of gram pnt on top of it
ifany) and the depth Of the hay.
But, having occasion to sell a ton
in my barn, to be sure of the quanti-
~ for future reference, / measured
off q space of s feet square on one
corner of the NOW, and cut down Z
feet deep, and found the hay remov-
ed weighed 2020 lbs, thus making AS
cubic feet, a good measure for a ton
