The Scene in the Square.
The tolling OF bells, the rushing and
shouting Of excited men, and the news Of
the fearful calamity, which spread like
wild fire over the city in an incredibly
short space of time, brought an immense
crowd OF all classes ages and cOloTs TO the

Carrots for Horses.

The value Of carrots for horses is thus
stated in Youatt and Spooner's valuable
work on the horse, and similar statements
are made in other e-books -
"The virtues of this root are not suf-
fciently known, whether of contributing
to the strength and endurance of the
sound horse, or the rapid recovery of the
sick one. To the healthy horse they
should be given sliced in his chaff. Half
a bushel will be fair daily allowance
There is little provender of which the
horse is fonder. The following account
Of the value of the carrot is not exagger-
ated: This root is held in much esteem
There is none better nor perhaps so good
When first given it is slightly diuretic
and laxative, but as the horse becomes
accustomed to it, these effects cease to be
produced. They so improve the state of
the skin. They form a good substitute
for grass, and an excellent Alternative for
horses out Of condition. 70 sick and idle
horses they render grain Unnecessary
They are beneficial in all chronic diseases
connected with breathing, and have a
marked influence upon chronic cough and
broken wind. They are serviceable in
diseases of the skin, and in combina-
tion with oats restore worn horse much
sooner than oats alone"

How to Keen Butter Sweet.

It is the easiest thing in the world
Simply put in clean jars, and cover with
strong brine. This will keep pure but
ter year, fresh and sweet, as we know
by experience. 1t is almost equally good
to put in oak casks, headed tight. This is
almost equivalent to canning fruit. The
brine, in case of jars, acts as a heading,
keeping the air out. But butter should
be made well we have never experiment
ed on poor butter. Work out the but
termilk till you have only pure beads" !"
clear as rain water; but do not work SO
much as to break the grain, in which case
you have tough, heavy article in winter,
and grease in summer. Such butter we
advise no one to try to preserve.

Sweeney.

As to that much talked of disease in
horses, Sweeney, Prof. Law, of Cornell
University, writes the N. Y. Tribune that
in many supposed cases the shrinkage of
the muscles of the shoulders is the result
of disease in the feet If it be decided
that the disease is really Sweeney, he ad-
vises applying mild blister repeatedly
over the shoulder muscles, and giving
plenty of walking exercise on smooth
road. Equal parts of the oil of turpen-
the, ammonia and olive oil may be rub
bed into the shoulder repeatedly.

CrOp Items.

Melons do better in sandy than in any
other soil. Not so liable to insects.
Fruit growers are admonished to look
after the worms in their orchards. Now
is the time to destroy them.
Don't kill robins. For every cherry they
eat, they give you a peck of apples by the
insects which they destroy
Put strip of pasteboard tightly round
your plum tree, cover it we'll with coal
tar, and the female curculio, which does
all the mischief, will not be able to get at
your fruit
DIR. Warder thinks the increase of in
sects is the sole cause of the deterioration
of the apple crop Of the Ohio Valley. A
united and vigorous effort should be made
for their destruction.

Good Fertilizers.

Lime and ashes are very good fertili-
zers when applied alone or together, but
some farmers are in the habit of mixing
hen manure and ashes to put on their
corn and all are not aware that ashes and
animal manure will not work together.
Hen manure alone, is too strong, but
ashes cannot absorb the strength, but will
cast it in the atmosphere.
consider rotten chip manure the best
thing to mix with hen manure. 1t should
be applied to corn in the hill when it is
dropped and should be covered so as not
to lose itsstrength.

Forcing Radishes.

Radishes may be grown in few days
by the following method:
Let some good radish seed soak in wa
ter for twenty-four hours, then put them
in bag and expose it to the sun. In the
course of the day termination will COM
mence. The seed must then be sown in
a we'll manured hot-bed and watered from
time to time with lukewarm water. By
this treatment the radishes will, in very
short time, acquire sufficient bulk, and
be good to eat.-JourndJ Of Horticulture

Take hogs lard, melt it and mix with

on a warm, sunshiny day, and if there is
a living louise on the animal, twenty-four
