A Growing Dog,

A curiosity exists in Decatur, in the
shape of a dog that never barked in his
life, but instead of ofindulging in the vocal
exercise common to the canine family
each morning initiates the growing of Il
rooster. His owner accounts for this
strange popularity by stating that the
dog was born and bred in the country,
and from his earliest pup-hood was
separated from all other ours, enjoying
only the companionship of barnyard
fowls. Hearing no other sounds so fire.
quently as the growing of the cocks, and
doubtless never knowing that his species
enjoyed the sole ownership of another
and different sort of music, he began to
initiate the matutinal exercises of his
feathered companions, in which he has at
last acquired "a proficiency which sur
prises and charms every one who has had
the felicity of listening to his perform
ances.

Mistakes of the Types Illustrated.

The amusement afforded by ludicrous
typographical errors will be ineXhausti-
bic while printers are falliblo and editors
write with abominable indifference to
legibility. One of the most astonishing
blunders of this kind was committed
some years ago in tho Bulletin. The
writer, who had cautioned his readers
against "casting their pearls before
swine" was amazed and grieved to per-
ceivo that the compositor had warned
the public against carting their pills
before sunrise" This was corrected in
the proof; but the reporter who dcclar-
ed that a certain new store had sixty
fancy windows" was even more indig-
nant than the storel1eeper, when he saw
i'll his paper the statement that the es-
tablishment contained "sixty faded
widows"
The poets suffer most deeply. Moth
ing could be worse, for instance, than
the misery of the bard who asserted, in
his copy, that he "llissed her under the
silent stars" only to find that the COM
positor compelled him to kick her un-
der the cellar stairs" A certain Jcnk-
ins, also, was the victim of an aggravat-
ed assault, because when, in his report
of wedding, he declared that 1.-THE
bride was accompanied. to the altar by
eight bridesmaids" the types made it
that " the bride was accompanied to the
altar by tight bridesmaids" These
things are peculiarly unpleasant when
they occur in remarks upon death; as in
the case of the editor who, while writing
a sympathetic paragraph, observed that
"Mr Smith could hardly bear the loss
of his wife," only to find that the printer
had made it "Mr. Smith could hardly
bear such boss for wife,"
During the Franco-Prussian war a
great deal of fun was poked at the Mis-
souri, editor. who read in the cable des-
patches that "Bazainc has moved
twenty kilometres out of Metz" He
thereupon sat down and wrote an cdi-
itorial, in which he said he was delighted
to hear that all the kilometres had been
removed, and that the innocent people OF
Metz were no longer endangered by tho
presence of those horrible engines OF
war-standing upon volcano, as It
were. And then he went on to describe
some experiments made with kilometres
in the Crimea, in which one OF them ex-
ploded and blew frigate out Of water
Another editor clipped from an ex-
change an obituary poem, which he sent
to the composing room with some intro.
ductory remarks. He said: ave pub
lish below very touching poem from
the pen of Miss NJ. 1t was written by
her at the deathbed of her sainted
mother, and it overfows with those ex
pressions of filial affection which are the
natural outgrowth of pure untutoret
genius that has developed beneath th'
sheltering influences Of a mothers love
The reader will observe how each lin,
glows with ardent affection and tender
est regret" Somehow, in attaching thi
introduction to the poem, the odito
turned up the wrong side of the clipping
and the consequence was that the ed
itor's lines led the reader gently into al
article upon Hog Cholerain Tennessee

MEDICINE FOR THE HAIR When the h ir

evltabe, il is II proof that disease and debility
have affected the roots, and that medication

done more TO prevent the loss of the hair, TO
renew ii when thinning out, 10 preserve It's

down in the belief that the lNvIGpRAToR is
tue true medicine for the hair, and are discard

4 fine example of practical sympathy

A fine example of practical sympathy
was that extended to Horace Lamb,
whose house at Randolph, Vt, was de-
stoyed by fire lately. The Randolph
Farmers Club appointed committee to
ascertain what could be done for the
sufferers, and as a result thirty-fve men
with twenty-one two-horse teams, and
three yoke of oxen met on late morn
ing, cut trees in the woods, had them
sawed, and by night had enough lumber
on the ground to erect a new house,
wEqsh was commenced at once.

FIRE PROOF WASH FOR RooFs, &c.

FIRE PROOF WASH FOR RooFs, &c.
The Ne,o England Farmer gives direc-
tions for making cheap and incombus-
tible wash for the roofs and walls of
buildings. Stake lime in close box to
prevent the escape of steam, and when
slaked pass it through sieve. To every
six quarts of this lime add one quart of
rock or Turks Island salt, and one gal
lon of water. After this, boil and skim
clean. To every five gallons of this add
by slow degrees three-fourths of a pound
of potash, and four quarts of fine sand.
If desirable, coloring matter can be ad-
ded. Apply with a common paint and
whitewash brush. A correspondent of
the above journal, who has used this
wash, gives the following recommenda-
ton of its merits:
1T looks better than paint, and is as
dnrable as slate. 1t will stop small
leaks in the roof, prevent the moss grow
ing over and rotting the wood, and rem
der it incombustible from the sparks
falling on it. When applied to brick
work it renders the bricks utterly i'm
porvious to rain or wet, and endures a
longer time than any paint l ever used.
The expense is mere triac, in fact,
scarcely deserving of mention"

and it is also cheap process, we pro-
cured from her her recipe, as follows:
Take two quarts of water, one table
spoonful of molasses, two ditto tiaxsecd
meal, two ditto of corn meal boil for
four or five minutes, and mix with two
quarts of milk. For the first five or six
weeks the milk is sweet, but after that
she has found sour milk, even if Topper
ell, to answer every purpose. At first
each calf received this quantity three
times a day, when it was Stacked off to
twice day, and finally discontinued
after being turned off four months old.
We should say that they were in as good
order and condition under this regimen
as calves ought to be.-Practicol Farmer.

THE Possibilities OF WHEAT CUL-
TURE.-On examining the organization
of head of wheat, it will be found
that each grain occupies n cell, and that
generally even in what is CO He'd q full
head thereof, for every three cells d" filed
out" or containing grains, there will be
two empty Or imperfectly developed
cells. These empty cells also, for the
most part, will be found intcrsperscd
among the grains or cells which are fill
ed, not at the top or the bottom of the
head. The number of cells i'll head is
generally from 10 to 105 but even un-
der the best cultivation it is seldom that
we find the number of grains to exceed
60; from 45 to 63 is the general average
of good culture. But as nature has evi-
IDENTIFY provided for at least one-third
more in number, we should never think
of ceasing in our efforts to improve, un-
til the ultimate possibilities of the en-
deavor have been reached.
1t is moreover claimed that if we
could succeed in growing perfect head
that is, in filing every head with a
grain of wheat, nature would then de-
velop still other cells. A close examina-
ton of any healthy seed will exhibit
certain rudimentary formations, which
goes to support such a supposition.
If these sayings are facts, and we be-
lieve they are, and incontrovertibly cs-
tablished, it will be perceived that we
are generally raising but about half as
much wheat as we should raise from any
given area and, moreover, it will be
long before an absolutely full ear Of
wheat will be produced.-Eechange
