A Remarkable Crow.

chickens in my poultry yard. After

parties appeared to become reconciled,
and since that time it has lived US

the fowls during the day, and comes
up regularly with them at hight &c

But what appears strangest to me is
that it has almost entirely discarded
its native notes and adopted those
peculiar to the chicken race. 1t rem

clearly between the tone of rooster
and that of hen, giving each sepa-

times essays to bark rs a dog: This

Good News for Bald Heads.

The Carrolton (Miss.) Conservative
says; 1--WE have heard it stated several
times that Mr.. Samuel Bryant, who here
tofore had been bare faced on the top of
his head, had, by the use of coal oil,
grown thick coat of hair on the afOre-
said bald head. We saw Mr.. Bryant on
Monday last, and OH examin alton found
the statement correct. Mr. Bryant told
us the way he found out this new prop
erty of coal oil was simply this he had
a large boil on the bald place on the top
of his head, which gave him much pain,
and in the absence ofaaything else, he
rubbed coal oil on it. He says it reliev-
relieved the pain almost instantly solhe
continued to rub on the oil until the boil
was entirely well, when. to his surprise,
he found "a thin coating of hair coming
out over the bald place. He continued

cotton seed meal for mich cows, in

DRY-RoTIN TIEEs.-Dry rot, as it
is usually called, is only one of the
many forms of decay in trees. AS
the growth of wood can be fastened
or retarded by artificial means, so may
its decomposition but to entirely
eradicate disease when it has become
firmly seated, is very difficult task.
Where only 9 few branches of a tree
are affected, their prompt removal will
usually prevent the further spread of
disease, but,when the main stem be-
gins to decay, we cannot expect to do
more than prolone life, although even
this will satisfy those who have old
and rare trees upon their lawns. One
of our correspondents writes that he
has upon his lawn linden trees over
one hundred years old, but the dry
rot is making sad havoc among them,
and ne wants to know how to prevent
further loss. He says that trees arc
attacked near the ground, and the
wood dies first, and then the bark
becomes so rotten that cane can be
readily pushed throughit. Wewould
advise the removal of all diseased or
dead bark, and then scrape the eX-
posed wood smooth; after which,
cover thcrcntire surface of the wound
with common grating wax, applied
while hot. The surface of the wax
inHy be busted OYER with ashes or any
dry paints that will give it the color
of the surrounding bark. If wounds
made in trees are protected from the
air and water, they will usually heal
over! provided there is any vitality
lett in the tree.
The Amertcan Stock Journal gives
the following direction for training a
| horse to stand: Take your horse on
the barn floor and throw a strap over
his back and fasten it to his right fore
foot lead him along and say "whoa,'
at the same time pull down the strap,
| which throws him on three feet and
makes him stop suddenly. This is
the bIst. way known to teach whoa,
though you can put Oh the. wai bride,
| and say whoa, and give hima sharp
jerk that will stop him about as soon
as the strap to his foot. Thenput him
in harness, with the foot strap, and
drive him up to the door. The mo-
ment he undertakes TO move, take his
foot and say whoa. Get in your car
! riage and get out again; rattle the
thills, make all tie noise getting in
andout you can; give him 10 under
stand, by snatching his foot each time
he MOVES, that he must stand until
you tell him to go; and after few
times you can put the whole family
in the carriage and he won't stir out
of his tracks, y -i' .7''
