Down ON the Chester Whites.

A writer in the Agricultaa.ist, a speak
ing of hogs, says: "I hardly know
which makes me most glad, the rise of
the Essex or the fall of the Chester, for
considerable experience and much
more considerable observation have
convinced me, that of mongrel bred,
mixed bIooded brutes that ever hadsa
name given them, the Chesters are en-
titled to the palm. I have three or
four of them now, bred from parents
Not akin(, purchased from the best
breeders in Chester county, warranted
pure Chester, among which a skillful
zooiogist might find clear traces of at
least half u dozen porcine races. Their
only quality in which they are alike is
the size of their ears. If there is any
difference in them in this regard it is
that one has larger ears than the other.
There seems to have been an effort of
nature to prove how much ear a given
amount of pig can carry, and any one
|ef them would supply material enough
to furnish the ears of my whole family
of Essexes- father and mother and six
children. -. -. i-'.,l :

cut being obiique, the perpendicular
floor of bark binds the graft tight The
inner bark of the tree and grat has
abundant opportunity to mite all along
the sloping side and next the wood of
the tree, and IS the whole end of the
graft is entirety covered, there is no
place for evaporation. Tn gratis were
only in tolerable order. The time was
April l. A little wax was used to make
sure the tightneSs of the union. They
were put in, in one-ffth of the time you
can put on bud or graft. They can
be put in almost az fast as the end d@of
the graft can be sloped off. If only one
in ten should grow, still large tree
could be worked over in this way much
faster than the common way. Wheth-
er this success can be successful later in
the season, l do not yet know, but will
| try it. j fear now that L have not de-
scribed it as accurately as it should be,
but it is hard to do So in every particu-
lar without an engraving. 1t differs
from the French spur budding in this
very important partieular-the inser-
ton is slightly oblique, so that por-
ton of strong thick bark made more
tense by the graft being wedged under
lit presses on the graft, keeping it solid
and nearly closing up the wound. And
then another advantage is, that as the
body of the fimb0r tree eInerges during
the summer, there is no perpendicular
cut to gap open; there is, it is true, an
incision, but is very small, and not
within half an inch Of where the graft
and tree begin to unite.

Watering Horses.

We think that man and beast are
generally watered too much. Men and
horses at hard work in warm weather,
perspire just in proportion to the guam
tity of fluids taken into the stomach
frequently drinking in hot weather,
according to our experience, emascu-
lates instead of refreshes. Some years
ago, being at Cape Island, in driving
out in one of the stand coaches of the
place, on a very hot day, We asked the
driver how it was that his horses per-
spired so little while the horses of pri-
vate carriages, going at slower speed
were covered with foam. He replied
that the watered his horses three times
la day only while the private drivers
wateied their horses whenever they
stopped. He said, and it seemed to us
very sensible, that the frequent water
ing of horses effected no good purpose,
while it made them very uncomfort-
able and lethargic. Horses, no matter
what their work was, did not need
watering oftener than three times a
day. Our rown experience witt horses
ali our life is to the same effect-Er.

Cnre far 4 sImaiI-Pox,,

From the Efacfnnatt Gazette. = tfasNsta
The following mode Of treatment, so
far as is known, has ever been q snre
cue: ....,,s
Take clean, common barley, boil it in
water thes4 as you wonl1 rice, un-
til it bursts; pour off this water, and use
it exclusively for your drink, adding
to each days drinking of this wafer
fifteen grains of saltpeter. Continue to
use this drink (which should be about
milk warm) until the pocks make their
in the skin, which will be
about three days after the fever sets in.
The effect of using this drink is to cut
off the backing fever. el
Now stop the use of this drink, and
take good wine reduced with water,
and sweetened with loaf sugar. Using
this as drink stimulates and fills the
pocks. The use of wine, water and Loaf
sugar should always be commenced
when the pocks made their appearance
lin the skin. sgle
Use no other medicine, and partake
of light diet.
This mode of treatment was prescrib-
ed by the celebrated Surgeon Dixon, OF
Ireland, and has been used in many
cases with success in this country.

AN IGNORANT DoG.-An old farmer
went out one day looking over his
broad acres, with an ak on his shoulder
and small dog at his heels. They es-
pied a woodchuek. The dog gave chase
and drove him into stone wall, where
action Immediately commenced. The
dog would draw the woodchuck partly
out of the wall, and the woodchuck
would take the dog back. The old
farmers sympathy getting high on the
side of the dog, he thought he must help
him. So, putting himself in position,
with ak above the dog, he waited for
the appearance of the woodchuck, when
he would cut him down. So an. oppor-
tunity offered, and the old man struck,
but the woodchuck gathered up at the
same time, took the dog in far enough
to receive the blow, and the dog was
killed on the spot. Forty years after,
the old man, in relating the story, would
always add: "And that dog don't know
to this day but what the woodchuck
killed him." - =

What Shall be Done With Weeds.


Certainly not pulled and left upon
the ground, if their seeds are only
formed. It is not safe at this stage OF
their growth to throw them into the
hog yard, or to put them in heap
with manure. Nor win il i'e safe to
leave them upon the ground where
they grew. Some of tbem are so tena-
cious of life that, even if the plant be
pulled up it is said that the sap will
fiow upward, the flower will bloom,
and the seeds ripen to be scattered over
the fields next year. There is no kill
ing them by gentle means. They will
lie three feet under ground for years,
| and IL the land is again Stirred to that
depth, up will spring thick crop OF
weeds again TO flourish in their full
strength. We have seen stout pig
weed pulled entirely out of ground,
with the exception of the end of very
lsmalI root, not only to go ON and live,
lbut to blossom and perfect large crop
of seed. Do not trust them in any
position, where a complete decomposi.
ttion will not speedily take place, either
by fire or the agency of some strong
l;slkaline or other substance.
Ifdried on the ground after the seed
is formed, there will be no danger. L
Thrown into heaps, they viii mot bt
likely TO rot before some Of them have
perfected seed. If thrown to swine, {
I lportion of them would be left to go OF
I with their work OF maturing seed, anC
iso it would be if they We're mingl'C c
with manure. They cannot well bt
burnt in their green state. so that tbs
Isafe and economical course is to throw
:. them in GA compact heap, and iningl'
them with quick lime, or wood ashes
or keep them moist 80 that they may
become thorou hIy heated and dec0n
iposed. Even then, the mas. should liz

hair is thickened, falling hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the folIicles are de-
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
decayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, so that a new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use viii prevent the hair

consequently prevent badness, The

Containing neither oil nor dye, it does

longon the hair, giving it a rich, glossy
lustre, and grateful perfume.
