CAUTION. There are n great man,
extraordinary things in this world, bu
when n circular informs us that clever
ears of corn are grown on three stalks
and that 300 bushels of corn of this par
ticuar variety are grown upon little les,
than one acre OF ground, we beg to be
permitted to say that belief in. such q
story is asking little too much Of oul
credulity

FORCING RADIsHEs. - The Acclimaza
ton Society of Palermo recommend the
following method for raising radishe,
at any season of the year They will be
gin to spornt in "a hours, and are ther
to be set in box of well manurcd earth

lukewarm water. In five or six days til,
radishes will attain the size of a small

BoTs. A correspondent from Coving-
ton, Tenn, writes us as follows in regard
to the bots. We give the suggested
remedy for what it is worth just MS soon
rs you discover that your horse is trou-
blod with bots, commence to work on his
stomach and bowels. Get live chicken,
kill it, and dreroh the animal with warm
blood and entra.ls. The bots will let go
their hold on the intestines, and COM
mence to feed upon the more attractive
food. few minutes after drenching
administer proper dose of castor oil,
which will work off the bots.
FARMERS CLUBS. y We know of no
agency next to the agricultural newspa-
pers, likely to prove more beneficial to
the farmer than connection with good,
live, farmers club. There are many
such in this country, and their number
is daily increasing They should be
warmly encouraged, for they are schools
for old and young, and where, as is now
so frequently the case, their proceedings
are reported in the weekly papers, they
become of great public value. Every
township should have such n club.
LEMON PIE. make an extra nice
lemon pie, take one lemon, one cup of
water, one cup of brown sugar, two ia
blespoons of flour, five eggs, three table
spoons white sugar. Crate the rind off
the lemon squeeze out the Juice, put
all together, and then add the water,
brown sugar and flour, working the mass
into q smooth paste. Beat the eggs and
mix with the paste, saving the whites of
three of them. Make two pies, baking
without top crust. While these are bak-
ing, beat the whites of the three eggs
saved for that purpose to n stiff froth,
and stir in the white sugar. When the
pies are done, spread this frosting even
ly over them and set again in the oven
and brown slightly.
