Sudden Change in the Color of Hair.

Two sudden changes of color of hair from
black to white are reported in foreign
medical magazine. 1t appears that ply
slcian of Berlin, strong, healthy, and less
than middle-aged man, sent his wife and
one daughter to spend last summer at
watering place. The day that he expected
a letter informing him of their arrival,
there came one saying that his daughter
had been taken sick very suddenly and was
already dead The shock was terrible, and
instantly his hair became entirely gray. He
had to visit some patients that same after
noon, and they scarcely recognized him.
Their peculiar actions revealed the change
to him. The other case was of man 35
years old, living in the Netherlands He
was one day passing the canal in Rotterdam,
when he saw a child struggling in the
water. He plunged in and brought it to
land, but it was already dead when he had
rescued its body. Bending over it to try
to restore life, he discovered that the dead
child was his own son. The blow, so sudden
and unexpected, and coming upon him when
he himself was so much exhausted, turned
his hair entirely gray, and left him scarcely
recognizable

Map Your Farm.

Every farmer should have complete
map of his farm, with each field, pasture,
and wood lot, together with all the fences,
roads and bitches plainly drawn, and either
numbered or named, so they can be readily
designated. Few farmers can appreciate
the real value Of one until they have tried
the experiment, for with a map of the farm
before you, you can direct your workman
to any part of it without the least possibility
of making a mistake. You can plan i'm
provements and estimate their cost at your
leisure, instead of spending half day of
valuable time in surveying the land itself
Any person with little ingenuity and
patience can draw map of his farm. 1t
should be about two feet square, or larger
if desired, and drawn upon thick card board
to prevent its being torn or defaced. Let
our farmers try the experiment, and they
will soon learn Its vale.

One Dog Communicates Good, News to
Another.

In the fall of 1861, my son, Sidney
G., entered the Federal army, leaving
behind him two favorite dogs, both of
whom greatly lamented his absence. He
was soon captured by the enemy and held
a prisoner until the spring Of 1862, when
he was exchanged, and, on returning to
his command, came back to the old home
stead in the country, in Bellinger county,
Missouri. Both the dogs happened to be
about 200 yards from the house, barking
at a squirrel up tree. After some time,
however, the smaller one became tired
and came to the house, the larger one
remaing at the tree. The little fellow
came bounding in the room where his
young master, who had been SO long alb
sent, was sitting, and recognized him, and,
of course had quite a taking on over him.
The pleasure once more meeting his kind
master was too great to be enjoyed all alone,
so he quickly turned his course in the direc-
ton Of his companion in the woods and in
full speed made his way to the tree, and
communicated to the large dog the fact of
his young master arrival home when, in
an instant, both dogs were making for the
house with all their might, the larger one,
who had remained at the tree taking the
lead, and not Stacking his speed until he
bounded in the room where Sidney was
The strange part ofthe story consists in the
fact that the small dog not only commu-
nicated to the large one the fact that Sid
ney had come, but in some way told him
the identical room in which he would find
him, as he ran around the house, and in at
the very door where Sidney was sitting,
without ever halting or even turning his
head toward several other doors which he
had to pass in making the circuit-,S

Bots in Horses.

The complete ineficacy of the various
popular panaceas for bots on horses may be
better understood when we come to know
something of the nature of these resident
paraites They are not worms, but larvae
of a fly, and are possessed of remarkable
powers Of endurance under adversely. The
most insinuating substances are but as milk
and honey to them, and in an instance
recorded colony of them attached to the
stomach of dead horse were in no way
inconvenieced by an hours exposure to a
bath of spirits of turpentine. But when
whale oil was poured upon them they let
90 their hold and died almost Instantly
Now, whale oil being thus indicated as an
effective dose, and being aperient in its
action upon the horse, would seem to be
the remedy that should be chosen before
any other. At least it might be well to
have some experiments and the results
carefully noticed and made note of.

The Champion Corn Crop of Nebraska.

The soil and climate of Nebraska are
most favorable to farming. Indian corn
grows luxuriantly, and the smaller cereals
also thrive. The productions of Nebraska
do not appear in the U. S. census reports
before 1860 and then the wole corn pro-
duction of the Territory-which was much
larger than the State, its western limit be-
ing the summit of the Rocky Mountains
was only ,4S2 ,0S0 bushels. In 1870 the
corn crop of the State of Nebraska-the
western limits of which is the base of the
Rocky Mountains-was 4, ,736, 10 bushels ;
and the Agricultural returns at the Depart
ment at Washington for 1873, give the corn
for that year, which was a bad year for
Indian corn, u 100000 bushels.
These figures exhibit the progress of
agriculture i'll Nebraska, for what may be
said of corn is equally true of other pro-
ductions. In the fertile soil and genial
climate of the State, corn yields abun-
dainty, and is safe crop. There are
broken lands where year after year, the
produce has averaged 80 bushels to the
acre but this is outdone by the champion
corn crop of 1873
The atfdavits on which the $50 premi-
um for 1873 was awarded, have just been
published by the State Board of Agricul-
ture. The owner was Magnus NJ Nelson.
Of Cass county. His champion crop was
grown on field of thirty-fve acres-the
second crop on the same ground, which
was prairie broken in 1871 The plowing
cost sl.25 per acre the planting 45 cents );
the cultivating $50 the harvesting S125
total expense per acre S4.75. The yield
was an average of 914 bushels per acre,
which was certainly worth not less than
40 cents per pushel on the farm The
variety Of the corn was the Mahogany !;
and the weight 62 lbs to the bushel
