Training n Heifer.

Cows usually become addicted to kicking
when heifers, from being MIXED by abusive
mixers. have never seen an old COW be-
come kicker unless abused. Instead of
COWS being averse to being MIXED when
giving large quantity, have never found
it the reverse. When pasturage is good,
and cows come home at night with udders
distended with milk, our "down East"
cows seem grateful to have it removed.
Milking heifer for the first time requires
patience, for they will almost invariably
kick. In such case put broad strap
around her body, just front of the udder
and buckle it up moderately tight, and so
soon as she gets quiet for she may dance
around little at first], take your pail, sit
down and go to milking, for she is as help
less as kitten. Do not attempt to use a
rope instead of a strap, for it will not an
swer. This is much better method.than
tying the legs, as it does not hurt the ami
NAL in the least A few applications of
the strap, with plenty of patience and
kindness, will cure the most obstinate case.

How to Water Horses.

One writer says, never water Immediate
iy after feeding. say that if horse is
thirsty always give him drink, and he will
thank you for it. / have often seen horses
put in a stable at noon for an hour or two.
and not eat pound of hay or grain but
looking wistfully for water and then their
careful owner, who would not let them
have water when warm, will come and give
them enough to kill, and ride or drive the
remainder of the day on two buckets of
water and no feed. Ten chances to one
his horse gives out with him OF gets sick
before night. Now, say, give the horse
water if he is ever so warm /: give him a
swallow, rinse out his mouth and postrils !.
give him bit of hay in short time a
little more water, but not--too much.
If he is watered several times little at a
time until he is satisfied, he will not drink
more than half what he would if you let
him gulp it down all at once.

Stone Coal and Roses.

A writer in the ReUue Horticos states
that he purchased a very fine rosebush, full
OF buds, and, after awaiting their maturity,
was greatly disappointed when this took
place, to find the flowers small, insignifl-
cant in appearance, and of a dull, faded
color. lncited by the suggestion of a
friend, he then tried the experiment of fill
ing in the top of the pot around the bush
to the depth of half an inch with finely
pulverized stone coal. In the course of a
few days he was astonished at seeing the
roses assume beautiful red hue, as bril-
liant and lively as he could desire.

How TO Grow Lima Beans.

A correspondent of the Country Gentle
man says
For the past ten years we have raised
them in great abundance-in fact, have
cooked none other for dry. The first
year or SO we found difficulty in ripening
the beans, as we picked for the table as
fast as they were ready. There are only
two points, if observed, to insure success.
The first is to pinch off the top of each vine
when they have reached the top of the
stake-say six feet-and the second is care
fully to save the earliest pods for seed.
Many writers say that they must be plant
ed eye down, &c. We never practice it..
We put the ground in nice order, when it
is warm enough, and plant as any other
beans, four to hill, and they generally all
come. By saving the earliest for seed we
have them nice for the table three weeks
earlier than at first.

A Valuable Cow.

Eli Dunlap, farming the property of Ellis
p. Wilkinson, Londongrove, owns a COW
which for its milk is quite valuable ami
NAL. Cream from the milk of this COW
was placed in pan and churned in three
minutes with ladle when there was left
pint of butter milk. The cream resem-
bles fresh butter from the churn. From
one days milking pound and three quar-
ters Of butter is obtained, from feeding on
hay. Two quarts Of cornmeal are also
fed twice day. This COW is small and
ugly animal-very deceptive in appearance,
1t was raised on the farm of r. M. Harvey,
West Marlborough, Chester county.

TERRIFIC STORM.
Hail and Iee-Natare in One Of Her
Most Terrible Moods.
7rom DE Role Herald. ocIober "a

From the Rolla Herald, October 3D.
Mr.. Isaac DePriest, of Shannon eoun-
ty, called at this Office on Tuesday Of
this week, and related to us the particu-
lars of a terrific hail storm which passed
over portion Of his county on Sunday,
October 9th, and which has never been
made known to the public. The storm,
unprecedented in the annals of history,
arose in the northwest corner Of
Shannon, and travelled eastward.
When near Pine Hollow it seemed
to gather together its entire
force, and swept down in almost one
solid mass of ice. William Erwood
states that several Jumps of ice were to
be seen as large as nail-keg, and that
none Of the hail-stones were smaller than
an egg. They froze together In their
downward course, and when striking
the ground emitted a ringing sound like
that Of crate of earthenWare let down
from heaven. Part of the home Of Rev.
Mr.. Moore was swept away, leaving sick
wife exposed to the storm. It was with
great difficulty that Mr.. Moore succeeded
in shielding her from the hail-stones,
and even then at the risk of his own
life. Chickens and birds are now
unknown to the people of that section,
having been devastated and carried away
by the fury of the storm. Hogs and
geese were killed in large numbers, and
in some instances cattle. The pine
trees were stripped Of twigs, and large
holes were made in some of them. The
grass has the appearance Of having felt
the mowers sythe, being cut off close
to the ground. In fact, the work
OF destruction was carried on with no
slack hand, and the people will ever
bear in mind the terrible Sunday of
1873. Mr.. DePriest is well known in
this and adjoining counties, and is a
man whose statements have been sub
stantiated by prominent citizens OF
Shannon, and we thus make known the
greatest hail storm in this decade.

pose of holding a fire In check until
the arrival of the fire department; dep
recating appointments in fire depart
ments on political grounds and by par,
tissn influence, etc. In regard 10 incen-
diarism from love of gain, the commit
tee on that subject adopted a report, which
was accepted, deprecating the insur-
ance Of stocks of merchandise for
amounts greater than their actual cash
value, and in favor of the adoption of
the so-called three-quarter clause in pol
icies of insurance, which We may say is
but a measure of safety at all times. The
testimony of the convention TO the fact
that ''fire-extinguisher have been found
invaluable at the inception OF fires" is
of great practical Importance, both as to
city and country residences, especially
the latter which are not readily acces-
sible by fire-engines. It may be added
that the banquet which followed the
work of this valuable and useful body OF
citizens ELECTED sentiments of a patriotic
and national character, and as Chief
Damrell, of B JstOn, said in his speech on
the occasion, would do more to cement
the union OF the States than all the pO-
litical buncombe which could be thrown
Off If the firemen of the country can
put out the flames Of sectional discOrd,
as well as the fires which ssssil our
houses, they will do more good than all
the politicians have yet effected.

make less the sorrows of others by attending
to the suffering sick Of our plague-stricken
city.

And will never mold more

part,
Like men that are skilled in the mOIding art,
Bad lifts and good lifts are now all as one
They've past 10 that region where mOldlng

We conveyed them in sadness to their last
resting place,
We knelt at their graves when the earth
And breathed a petition to heavens holy
We might meet them where parting would
never be more.
Resolued, That copy OF the foregoing pTeam-
