Two WESTERN HUNTERS, named
Hoffman and Cowan, both good shots,
and not little given to boasting of their
skill, went out one day on a deering
expedition. Shortly after separating
in the woods, Hoffman heard Cowan's
gun fired off,-when he went to the
spot, expecting to help Cowan hang up
deer.-He found him loading his gun,
and shouted OUT
"Hallow, COWan! what did you
shoot at just noW?"
"None o. your business: go along
over the HILL"
Surprised at this crusty answer, Hoff-
man looked around, and discovered a
caTamong the bushes. Again he cried
OUT
II say Cowan, did you shoot at the
calf?"

"Why, wasn't quite sure that it

"You are a pretty specimen Of hun

"Don't make a fool of yourself" "
replied Cowan 81 shot at it just so as
to hit it if it was a deer, and miss it il

APPLYING PLASTER.-A cOrrespOn-
dent of the Massachusetts PloughD,0n
having asked to be informed of
the most proper season of the year for
the application of plaster to pasture
lands for renovation; also, the best
method of applying the same, the
best quantity per acre necessary for
fair trial, and the quality of land to
which it is adapted-the editor replied
as follows:
We think the early spring the best
season, say the latter part of March or
early in April. We would sow broad
cast at the rate of about two hundred
pounds to the acre. Hiily pastures,
with a northern aspect and a moist,
messy soil, are most benefited by its
application. On granite soil or soils
throughout the gneiss formation,
which usually contain more or less
potash, plaster works promptly and Ell
fectively. But on locations where 1T
has not been found to work so well, it
should be applied in connection with
wood ashes.
"Where plaster has any perceptible
effect at all, it brings in a luXurant
growth of white clover and otherwise
improves the grasses. Many farmers
apply it regularly once in two years,
and find it the cheapest and most e.
economical dressing they can apply. 1t
ought to be fresh ground. The dark
variety is thought to be the strongestand

HEAvEs IN HORSES. We would re
mind our readers that horses, fed in
part on carrots, never suffer from
heaves; they will be found to have
silky coat as well as loose hide, ahd
enjoy far better health than when hay
and oats alone are used. Three quarts
of carrots and three quarts of oats will
sustain a horse much better than siA
quarts Of oats. Wien the carrots form
part of the feed, all the oats will be di-
gested and assimilated F; whereas, when
oats alone are fed, the dung will he
found to contain whole oat shells, un-
decOmposed starch, amounting to
more than half the quantity of oats
consumed.
The floor of every cutting box should
be ribbed or opened, so as to permit all
dust to pass down before the hay reach
es the cutting knives.
Many horses are rendered asthmatic
by being fed dusty hay, and, conse-
quently, every means calculated to re-
move the dust should be resorted to.
