Chinese Agricultural Hints.

1. Rules for gathering seed among the
standing grain-H Having selected the choice
and bright heads Of grain, pluck and sus-
pend them in dry place till the next seed
ing time, then shell and wash the seed; put
it into hot water, when the heavy kernels
will sink and the light will rise to the sur
face, and may be skinned off and cast
away.
2. In the twelfth month place the seed
in large earthen vessel, fill it with pure
water of melted snow, ana cover the same
with earth. When the seed has sprouted,
SOW broadcast or in drills; thus you will
avoid the breeding of worms.
3. To determine whether the coming
year will be good or bad, take one measure
of seed in the beginning of the winter sea-
son and measure it carefully, then place it
in an earthern vessel and put it in dark
place and leave it there for fifty days: then
measure 1t again. If then it fills the meas
ure fuller than before, the season will be
good; If less than before, the season will
be bad.

Ised Riding Hood.

Charles Hugo tells the following fairy
story about the plebiscite: There was once
in the Middle Ages a young Lao named
Universal Suffrage. As he was Republi-
can, he was generally called Little Red
Chaperon. One day the State had brought
a plebiscite on the tapis, and his adaptive
father said to him: "Pray, go and look
how your grandmother liberty is. and bring
her your vote in this small butter Jar !"
Little Red Chaperon started Immediately
for his grandmother's house. When he
came through the forest of Bondy, he met
old Coup d Etaf, who asked him where he
was going The poor boy, who did not
know that it was dangerous to stop on the
road and TO listen to wolves, said to him:
81 am going to visit my grandmother, and
bring her my vote in this small butter Jar. "
every well, said the wolf, IL shall ac-
company you and visit her too" Now, the
wolf had devoured the grandmother eight
cen years ago. He hurried on so "a to
reach the place in advance of Little Red
Chaperon. Upon his arrival there, he
went TO bed and waited there for the little
one who shortly afterward raped at the
door and stepped in. Little Chaperon was
greatly surprised TO find his grandmother
In such dishdbiue, and said to her: '.But,
grandmother, you really have very large
and strong arms" I'm order to be better
able TO protect society from anarchy. my
child GRANDMOTHER. you have also very
big legs" In order 10 be better able to
escape from Mexico, my child" Grand
mother. you have very large eyes" Elm
order to be better able to verify Hauss-
mans accounts" Grandmother, you have
very large teeth" '1n order to be better
able to devour you, brat"

TUBING AS A GUARD FOR INTERPRETING
HoRsEs--A writer in one of our exchanges,
gives two methods OF applying the tubing
as follows: The tubing ~ hose should be
of one-half to three-qnarter inch caliber.
If you wish to protect the joint with a
guard, cut the hose the proper length to go
around the limb above the joint, and run a
round strap through the hose, with buckle
at one end. Properly fitted this will stay
and not eramp the limb or injure the skin.
The tube runs on the strap when the hoof
strikes it. Always remove the guard when
the horse enters the stable, and battle with
cold water.
Another manner for applying the guard
| is to cut the gum tube a little longer than
in the other way, making it reach round
the hoof of the limb that strikes, less about
two inches. Then have the harness maker
sew a small strap in one end of the tube.
and a strap with buckle in the other. Then
| lit the guard around the hoof of the limb
that strikes, Just below the hair. The gum
will stretch sufficient to clasp the hooi
/ tightly, if it is properly adjusted, it will
neither be lost nor slip from its place. ex.
cept by the horse stepping in deep muddy
roads. when it will some times slip up but
will not be lost, and can be re-adjnsted
When the hoof so armed strikes the joint
of the opposite limb the rubber gives and
the skin is not broken, the hair even is moi
cut of, and the creature and the driver, i
horseman and of sensitive nature, escaps
the pain that always affects them beth wher
the horse is hopping ON three legs from
such an accident.

BLIND STAaGERs IN PIGs.-The pig stand
and works at the mouth, then staggers and
falls as if in fit. After remaining in that
state for a time it RECEIVERS. but at last the
SYM ptoms prove fatal. Some pigs force
their noses against the wall or into a cor
ner, but the symptoms are always nearly
the same. The disease which is popularly
termed staggers in medical parlanceis cali
ed epilepsy. 1t depends usually upon i'm
perfect nutrition of the brain and nervous
system. -sEs
In pigs as well as in other animals, cpl
lepsy is often hereditary. Frequently it is
developed by breeding in and IN. Contin-
ued feeding on poor innutritive fare, such
as brewers wash or Indian corn, or even
on such unduly stimulating food as beans
or peas, will favor the production OF
epilepsy fits Wet, foul, uncomfortable
beds also lead to epilepsy amongst young
and delicate pigs. IN preventing further
losses We would advise the attending care
fully to cleanliness, comfort and liberal
feeding; supply the small pigs with some
good milk and daily mess of boiled lin
seed, which is particularly good, as con-
taiaing q large portion of oleaginous mat
ters. A few cabbages, grass, dry peas and

given twice daily Ia beer, water Cruel OF

A Tale of I.aYe.

Three years ago Young German paid
the passage of a young lady to this country,
her parents being too poor to do SO, on
their pledge that she should marry him.
The family settled in Pittsbug, and the
young man went to Wisconsin. A few days
since ne returned to Pittsburg to claim his
bride, but it seems that she had meantime
been wooed and won by another fellow.
The indignation of the old lover was some
thing tremendous. He demanded marriages
The girl refused. He then demanded
the refunding of his money, and brought
suit for its IT coyery. Among the items in the
bill were the passage money, pay for four
tickets to New York theatres, and sundry
bottles OF wine and glasses of the ''good old
larger beer. The bill which he presented
footed up S205, and he said to Christiapa,
Settle this bill or marry me-" She de-
cided to let the case come before the Alder
man. At the hearing an acute attorney who
had been engaged for the young lady ques-
toned the young man closely, and the bill
of damages was reduced to $40. Still the
anxious young man insisted that the bill
should be paid or matrimony ensue. AT
this point the Pittsburgh lover, whom the
young lady really wished to marry, stepped
up and paid the $42, and as a result there
will probably soon be wedding.

About $3.50 supper was announced, and
the President led tho way to the grand
state dining-room, followed by the assem-
ledguests, the Indians taking precedence.
The table was covered with flowers and all
the decorations customary on grand occa-
sions. Strawberries, cherries, oranges,
bananas, ices, cakes Of al. kinds, French
candies, and wines appea, II on the bounti-
fully spread board. The lions of the even

were waited upon by other lions, foreign
and domestic. They managed the gold
spoons with great dexterity. and Red Cloud
sarcastically observed that he found the
white people ate many things which they
did not send 90 the Indians, and that they
did rot seem 10 live entirely ON corn meal
The wine of the Great Father went not un-

was evinced by the falling asleep of some
of the Indian imbibers. After the return
to the East Room the squaws seemed par

charming naivete. All they could not eat

Struck by Lightning.

A very extraordinary case of the frea k
and effects of thunderbolts, says the Elko
(Nsv.) Independent, of May 2S, transpired
last week on the line of the new telegraph
between Elko and Hamilton. p. H. Low
ell, who was engaged in constructing the
line OF telegraph, was struck by lightning
while kneeling on the ground holding the
wire in one hand. The lightning first
struck the wire at some distance, followed
it to the end, entered Mr.. Lovells hand,
splitting three of his fingers, fol-
lowed mp his arm, and thence down
his breast and side to the knee,
which was on the ground, where
it left the leg. breaking through the flesh
and skin, leaving blackened hole, like
that caused by a bullet The lightning
entered the ground under the knee, tearing
q hole through the sod as it entered. Mr..
Lowell was knocked over senseless, but
soon recovered, and, strange to say, re-
ceived no permanent injury, resuming his
work again in a short time. He says he
felt all the stronger and better for the cleo
tlical shock. The sensation caused by the
passage of the lightning through his sys
TEN he describes as very peculiar very
much like the sharp pricking Of pins, par.
ticularly when the mysterious element
entered and left his body. E-

over zoo men under arms in the Fort, and
oO0 hunters encamped on the prairie In the

Poe the entrance of the British troops
into the settlement TO the last. 1t Is said
they will begin fighting the troops near
the Lake OF the Woods. Forty Fenians
are said to be already in Winnipeg, and
more are expected. The feeling between
the hali-breeds and Fenians is said 10 be
not very friendly, and the people OF the
settlement to be about equally divid-
ed for and against RRiL No local
demonstration was expected until the
troops we're near at hand. Excitement
amounting to panic is said to prevail i'm
the settlement Furs were plenty, but
business there very cautious. Real estate
was selling for almost nothing. prolonged
and bloody fight being expected. The
rebels are said to have been somewhat des-
pondent as to the ultimate result, but think
they can defeat the troops on their way.
Fenians are still arriving daily, at st.
Cloud, by twos and threes, and they seem
to be in active communication with the
brotherhood at Chicago and other points

Advantages Of Under-drainiug.


The advantages of under draining are
epitomized as follows by the Farmer Mag
azine:
/. II prevents drought.
2. II furnishes an Increased supply of
atmospheric fertilizers.
3. II warms the lower portions of the
soil.
A. IL hastens the decomposition of roots
and other organic matter.
5. Itaccelerates the disintegration of the
mineral matters OF the soil.
D. Ii causes more even distribution of
nutritious matters among the parts of the
soil traversed by roots.
z. 1t improves the mechanical texture
of the soil.
8. 1t causes the poisonous excrem enti-
tious matter of plants to be carried out of
reach of their roots.
8. 1t prevents grasses from running
out
10. 1t enables es to deepen the surface
soil, by removing excess of water.
IL. 1t rend, rs soil earlier in the spring.
IL. 1t prevents the throwing out OF
grain in winter.
13. 1t allows us to work sooner after
rain.
IA. 1t keeps off the effects Of cold
weather longer in the fall.
10. 1t prevents the formation of acetic
and other acids, which induce the growth
of sorrel and similar weeds.
1G. 1t hastens the decay of vegetable
matter, and the finer communion of the
earsny parts of the soil.
IL. 1t prevents, in a great measure, the
evaporation of water, and the consequent
abstraction of heat from the soil
Is. 1t admits fresh quantities of water
from rains, &C., which are always moro or
less imbued with the fertilizing gasses of
the atmosphere to be deposited among the
absorbent parts Of the soil. and given up to
the necessities of the plants.
10. 1t prevents the formation of so hard
crust on the surface of the soil as is usual
on heavy lands.
20 1t prevents in great measure, grass
and winter grains from being irinter-kiiled.
