that deserves notice; but still his con-

most solid remark was on literary wo-

men are modestly content to amuse by
our writings, women must be didactic !!
Miss Baillie writes plays to illustrate
the passions, Miss Martineau teaches po-
litical economy by tales, Mrs. Marcel
sets up for general instructor, not only
i'm her dialogues but in fairy stories, and
Miss Edgeworth is schoolmistress in
her tales. We talked chiefly of literary
and public men. Rogers praised Lord
Liverpool for his liberality, which he
learned in life of Canning and Huskis-
son. When young, he was the butt of
his companions. At Christ's College,

EQUINE SAGACITY.-There is horse
at the Government corral at this place
noted for loosening the knot of the hal
ter-strap with which he is tied. 1t is
useless to tie him with any ordinary
knot. He will work the strap loose
with his teeth and go about the corral
Just when he chooses. There is well
in the yard from which all the Govern
ment stock are watered. Day before
yesterday the pump-a force pump,
worked by brakes-got out of order,
and no water could be obtained. The
animals were taken to the creek close
by for water. The horse referred to,
refusing TO drink, was taken TO his stall
and tied as usual. In a few minutes he
deliberately united his halter, walked
over to the pump, and finding no water
in the trough where he was accustomed
to drink, ut once seized the brake with
his teeth ahd worked it up and down
several times, then put his nose to the
spout, evidently expecting water to
come. Again and again for nearly five
minutes, did he seize the brake and
work il and then put his nose to the
spout. Finding his efforts useless he
walked off, evidently disappointed.
Several of the hands at the corral and
others witnessed the above, and can
testify to its correctness.-AuStin Terds

do not know that there is anything,
except it be humility, which is so val
liable as an incident of education as ac-
curacy. And accuracy can be taught.
Direct lies told to the world are as dust
in the balance when weighed against
the falsehoods of inaccuracy. These
are the fatal things. And they are all
pervading. L scarcely care what is
taught to the young lift will but inn
plant in them the habit of accuracy.
Now, look ut the matter in this light.
Take the speech of any man for any
given day. For once that he wilfully
gives a wrong color with an eye to his
own interests) TO anything which he
states or narrates, he mistakes, or mis-
describes twenty times, on account of
his inability to tell anything accurately.
Besides, there is this important result
from habit of accuracy, that it produ-
ces truthfulness, even on those occasions
where a man would be tempted to be
untruthful. He gradually gets to love
accuracy more even than his own inter-
ests: at last be has a passion for accu-
racy. ARTHUR HELPS.

Feeding Dairy Stock.

In the Seventh Annual Report of the Mass
achusetts Board Of Agriculture is report by
James Thompson, Esq. from which we take
the following in reference to feeding dairy
stock
''As the dairy cows on farm are the ma
chimes through which is run much Of the pro-
duce raised, and from which most of the
profit is derived, it behooves Us to make much
Of every sort of fodder that we can grow and
as very many farms have not the desired
amount of upland to grow all good English
hay we can not too strongly urge all farmers
to raise roots that keep horses, cows, sheep,
and hogs. In fact all farm stock devour them
when properly prepared to suit each. Roots
and cabbage are like bran manure, when
compared with concentrated fertilizers by
their bulk, as to the nutritiye and fertiizing
value Of each but when they are used in
practice We all know the results are ahead of
the estimate. Store hogs can be fed with tur-
nips and mangels from early winter to late
spring. when other green provender can be
grown till time to fat them and they increase
the manure heap wonderfully. This word
manure ought to be the first and the last thing
looked after as ii is the source of all good
farming"
There should not be over half busnel of
roots daily to each COW and if you have no
gram to give with them, better sell enough to
buy little, as one pint a day will check any
tendency to scour. 1t should be understood
that too much of "a good thing is as bad as not
enough"

Planting Strawberries In Full.

MANY persons believe that spring is the
best time to plant strawberries but the Ohio
Farmer seems to be of different opinion, and
gives the following directions for fall plant
ing:
"When plants are we'll set in the fall, they
will fruit the next season, as it is the fall
growth OF root which supports the plant tor
the next years fruiting. Go into your garden
to day, and pull up a strawberry plant which
has fruited this season, and you will see the
old stock of roots dead and black, and from
the crown of the root beneath set of new
roots putting out these must make good fall
growth or you will get no considerable crop
of fruit next year; and transplanting now
causes less jar IN the natural condition OF
the plant than if taken up at any other period
of the year.
"ChoOse for planting young runners that
are well rooted then on cloudy day proceed
with your work. Draw line where you de-
sire to plant and mark place for the row ;
spread out the roots evenly on all sides set in
SO as to bring the dirt we'll up to the crown
of the plant without coveringit and press the
soil down firmly with your hands around the
plants. If the weather should prove dry,
water thoroughly, SO as to soak the roots, as
often as the foliage shows by its dropping ap
pearance that water is necessary.
Before the setting in of winter, cover the
entire surface Of the ground, over the plants
and all, with litter of straw or other like
material, to keep the plants from the changes
of freezing and thawing, to which they would
be exposed if left on the surface where the
suns and winds would have full play upon
them. This covering should be removed in
the spring, SO as to let the plants grow up
without hindrance. The fruit buds are formed
in the fall, and if these are injured during the
exigencies of winter and early spring the crop
OF fruit will be lost.
Strawberries, like grapes, need generous
strong SOIL but not decidedly fat, and espec-
tally not recently staunched with green or raw
manure. Ii manure is needed, let it be fine,
old, we'll rotted compost, and let it be thor
oughly mixed with the soil, which soil is best
to be deep loan, though some varieties, as
the early scarlet, will flourish in sandy soils.
A moist soil is always best for Strawberries"

MULES ON THE FARM.-Mules are almost
universal on the sugar and cotton plantations
of the far South, while the fayorite team on
the Northern farm has always been the OK :;
partly because his carcass is so valuable when
cut into steaks, and partly from the rough
character of the soil, which makes slow team
exceedingly desirable. The mule is much
stronger than the horse, but not so fast as to
endanger plows on stony soils, or carts on
rough roads. They are more easily kept than
either horses or oxen; and will consume al
most any rough fodder with relish. A serious
drawback to the oxen team is that it demands
pasture a part ofthe time, or its equivalent in
green fodder. If kept up continually and fed
with dry hay and meal, oxen will lose appe-
tite after while and fail in flesh. The mule
can be kept up as steady as the horse, with
out any loss of flesh or strength. This is
great advantage to those who have full work
for their teams. 1t rather agrees with mules
to have daily task, and to be kept straight
at it. A weeks idleness seem to demoralize
them and they have to learn their lesson over
again. They are not as liable to disease as
either the horse or OK, and are much longer
lived A wellused mule team will last thirty
years, and that is about long enough.
