There are few seeds that will not
gcrminate as freely the second year
as the first ifEept In cool place, and
not exposed to either too drying or
too dampcned atmosphere. With the
exception of parsnips, onions, and
leaks, would just as soon sow seed
two years old, as when fresh gathered
but there is q limit to the vitality OF
seeds, varying much in the different
species. veH ..g1l. fua
Among those only safe for two years
are beans and peas, of all kinds pep
pers, carrot, egg plant, okra, satisfy
thyme, sage, and rhubarb. ID. -.
These safe for three years: aspara-

Many of our dumb animals suffer
extremely for want Of natures cool
ing and refreshing beverage. Horses
and Mich cows relish a supply of cool,
fresh water, far more than we are
wont to suppose. A pond of standing
water 10 utterly unfit for watering
place for domestic animals of any
kind. When horned animals have ac-
cess to small pond having no outlet,
the water will soon become SO foul
with the accommodations of fecal mat
ter, thst every animal will suffer from
extreme thirst before Il will drink at
such aplace. Watering troughs should
be kept rs clean and sweet as milk
pail. Offensive slime win accumulate
every day In . watering trough, in
hot weather. There should be hole
in the bottom Of every trough, for the
purpose of allowing the impure water
to escape. Let large cloth or sH sb
be kept near the trough, with which
the inside may be scrubbed ont fire.
Quently. Mich cows cannot be ex-
pccted to yield full supply of milk,
unless they have constant access to
pure water. A good mixer will Of
ten drink . barrel Of water every day
during the hot weather Of August.

To cure Collie in Horses.-Take
piece of carpet, blanket, or any thick
material, large enough to cover the
horse from his fore to his hind legs,
and from the spine to the floor as he
lies; wiring it out of as hot water as
you can possibly handle. You need
not fear scalding the animal. Apply
this to the horse, and cover it with a
similarly dry cloth. As soon as the
heat diminishes much, dip the wet
cloth again In hot wafer. This plan
will within an hour cure the worst
case of colic.-1mericaa Stock Jour-

A tiller of the soil writes to the
american Farmer: Not being able
to buy tire high priced drills, at our
last falls wheat sowing, we endeav-
ored TO throw portion of our wheat
crop into drills without the aid of a
drill machine, and succeeded, really,
beyond our most sanguine expecta-
tions. This was done as follows
The land having been previously
close ploughed, and left as smooth rs
possible, was then run off with 'buil
tongue, one foot from centre to GEN.
trc of burrows and ridges. On the
field thus prepared, was sOwn both
wheat and fertilizer. 1t was then
crossed with one-horse iron-tooth
harrow, and so left. Rolling would
probably have been, of advantage.
But the result is, the wheat stands al
most entirely in the drills. The only
objection is, there is too muc, i'm the
drill. We sowcd about one bushel of
good wheat, before soaking, to the
acre, and believe that three pecks
would have been sufficient-d0nc bet
ter. Sowing wheat IN this way en-
cures ono important advantage, which
is, the preparing Of the land well be-
fore sowing as would have to be done
when drilling with the drill machine ;
aud with us, down South, especially
OH corn land, is but rarely done.'

Treatment OF Called Back.

A veterinary surgeon, George II.
Dadd, gives in the Prarie Farmer the
following: So s0on as an abrasion Is
discoved on the back of a horse, the
animal should be excused from dut;
for q few days; the abrased parts
should be dressed twice daily with a
portion of the tincturc of alocs and
myrrh. This simple treatment will
soon heal the parts. Should there be
no abrasion, but the simple swelling,
attended with heat, pain and tender
ness, the parts should be frequently
sponged with cold water. Occasion
ally the skin undergoes the process of
hardening Gnduration). This is q
condition of the parts known to the
farriers of old as "sit fast" and the
treatment is as follows: Procure one
ounce Of iodine and smear the indur-
ated spot with portion of the same
twicr daily. Some places of CALLED
back and shoulders are due to negli-
gcnce and abuse, yet many animals,
owing to . popularity of the consti-
tuition, will chafc, as the saying Is, in
those parts which come in contact
with the collar aud saddle, and neith-
er human foresight nor mechanical
means can prevent the same.

The Southern Planter and Farmer
thus puts farmers in mind OF what
they are too apt to forget: rs Ii ~ q.
"kKEP, Yes. keep
scratching with the cuItivator and hoe
all crops that depend Upon their being
kept clear OF weeds, to make g good
yield. IF you leave the weeds to
grow all through haying, you will re-
greet your folly when it may be too
late to remedy 1t. Barn-yard manure
has in it more or less foul seed, and
most land has such seed in it, even
before the manure for the year is APP
piled, and it will spring up and grow
most luxuriamtly after the crops are
laid by for hayfng. Have your eyes
wide open to them and keep down
the weeds ct all events" 49, issr

acre field of cotton, in the neighbor-

from the effects OF which in q few
