An Alluring Picture.

Texas seeks to allure immigrants,
and says, through one of its journals
Our rivers, like Athena, leap into the
world full grown and full of life and
promise. The San Marcos, at the foot
of the mountains, rushes up from the
unfathomed depths, through perpen-
dicular rents in the rock. The water
is perfectly clear The channel Is
about twenty feet wide, and the depth
of water at the shallow places from
two and half to three feet, with a
swift current, affording splendid power
for the propulsion of machinery. The
San Antonio has its source from a series
of springs, three miles above the city,
of the same name. The Comal, at
New-Braunsels, comes forth in the
same way: and all excel the famed riv-
ers of Damascus, both in purity of their
waters and the natural beauty OF their
banks "

An Old Bachelors Will-The Bulk of
an Estate of $4,000 to His Six
Herses.

From the New York Sun.
An old bachelor of Passaic Village.
N. j., named Marsh, died recently,
leaving an estate valued at about S4O0.
600, including eighty acres of choice
land near Passaic, and six horses. His
last will and testament is q curious
document.
Nearly all of his property is be-
queathed to his horses. The farm of
eighty acres is set apart for their ex-
elusive comfort and support, and $500
year to each is also provided for
their additional welfare; 81, 200 year
is appropriated to recompense a man
whose time and skill shall be devoted
to their care. To clinch the provisions,
the executors, who are DIR. r. Tereunc
and New York gentleman, are be-
queathed the sum of $4,000 each, to
see that the requirements of the will
are carried into effect. This state of
things is to continue for ten years,
when the farm is ordered to be sold. A
poor Hollander working on the place,
and one or two others, are beneficiaries
to a small amount. but a large portion
Of the legacy is left to the horses. A
poor boy, to whom he was much at.
tached, is handsomely provided for.
He had no near relations, and the dis.
tant ones do not come in for theil
share until the specified ten years have
passed. ,lss4z -

How 90 Manage Spring pigs.

In answer to this question, put by
one of its contributors, the American
Agriculturist has the following: 1t de-
pends on the breed, the food at COM
mand, the conyeniences forfeeding, the
probable price for pork next fall, and
the price a year hence. We should
premise, however, that IN any case the
pigs should have all they will eat of
some kind of food The cnIy difference
to be made between growing pigs and
fattening pigs Is IN the charaorer of the
food. A fattening pig requires rich,
concentrating food 2 growing pig, a
more bulky and less nutritious food:
but, III either case, the pig, to do well,
must have all 1t will eat. If you have a
small boned, well-bred pIg, such
grade as Essex or Berkshire or
Suffolk, we think it would be far more
profitable, as a rule, to fatten spring
pigs than to winter them over. Let
them have the run of clover pasture,
all the milk and slop from the house,
and all the corn and other grain in wa
ter twenty -four hours before feeding.
Ii well bred, such treatment should
give You pigs that will dress 300 pounds
by the 1st of December. On the other
hand, if you have a coarse, large-boned
breed of pigs, the better plan viii be to
winter them over In this case, give
them the run of good clover pasture,
plenty of water, what waste from the
house You have to spare. and little
grain to ksep them growing as rapidly
as possible.

TREATMENT OF MAD-DoG BTrEs.-Dr.
Nathan r. Smith, of Baltimore, says
that he has in the course of dfty years
practice, treated many cases of bites 10y
rabid dogs, aud always with success, If
called upon within three days after the
bite. His method of treatment is to
instantly wash again aud again with soap
and water, AID then apply TO it a cylin-
drical piece OF caustic potash cut in the
shape of peacil point. This shoald
be held in the wound firmly for fifteen
minutes. After the application of the
caustic, the wound should be poulticed
with bread and milk for two days, and
then dressed with a simple salye. A
mere scratch is more dangerous than a
deep wound, as In the latter case the
flow of blood is apt to carry out the
poison with it.

How 20 Manage setting Hens.

/. Set the hen in place where she
will not be disturbed
2. Give large hen twelve or thirteen
eggs, medium-sized one ten or twelve,
and small one eight or nine.
3. Don't let the hen come out OF Tho
setting groom until she has Matched, but
keep her supplied with gravel, food and
water.
T. When the chickens are hatched,
leave them in the nest for eight or ten
hours.
3. Don't medddle with the eggs dur
ing incubation; turning them once
day, aud all such foolishness, is apt 10
prevent the eggs from Matching.

Now is good time to look over the
farm fences, and find where there is q
missing post, or board, or rail, or
broken wire and now, while there is
little else to do, the time may be profit
ably employed in cutting, preparing,
and distributing, whatever needed,
posts, rails, etc, for makingn new fences.
or for repairing the old ones, as soon
as the frost is out, and before the
ground is in suitable condition for
seeding. Because the fences are not
needed at this season of the year, is
but poor excuse for leaving them un-
repaired, when there is plenty of time
to do all that there may be TO do; and
when the Job is done the farmer will
have the satisfaction of feeling that 1T
is not on his hands, and to be done at
some more busy season.
A neighbor of mine has made a fence
as described below, snited, / think, 10
land of prairie and poles:
Small rails from duartered poles are
laid, with less thai he ordinary crook
of a worm fence, to the height IF four
rails. Halved poles are used for the
two upper rails: these last pl ced on
the edge to give greater height TO the
fence Two small stakes at eaci angle
are let into the ground few In ;hes, TO
give strength to the fence, and arc held
by wire, above the fifth rail, just far
! enough apart to admit of the half
poles, the top rail being supported. by
the wire some inches above the fifth
rail, If desired.
The advantaec cs seem TO be these:
/. Small timber is turned 20 goodac-
count
g.. Fewer rails are required than in
common worm fences
3. The fence can be easily moved,
when 1t has served its Office as an in
telior fence, or to inclose ground till
hedge can be grown.
