= ABOUT Cows.-A fve-year-old Jersey owned
by Daniel Farmer, Of Manchester, N. a., did not
have calf till feur years old, and soon after the
calf was taken away the butter from her milk
yielded pound and a-half daily.
Mr.. NJ. D. Flynn, Of Dallas county, Iowa,
bought fsur.year-old barren COW Imported
Sylvia at Col. Kings sale, three years ago, and
unexpected to many, she at once got in calf, pro-
duced red bull calf, since sold for 81, 900. The
following year she produced another, and now
she has fairly beaten herself by producing twins.
At the famous New York Mills herd sale Mr..
Thorndale then deemed hopelessly barren as she
had not produced calf for three years. He re-
duced the flesh without producing Inflammation
by giving severe exercise with only moderate
feeding, and now has her in calf. He had her
led or ridden four miles daily, and fed on lin
tied quantity Of hay and fodder.

WALKING HoRsEs.-Walking is q valuable
quality in good horse as speed-and horse
that walks strong and fast is a valuable horse for
all general uses, and especially for farm work
and heavy teaming. Among cur farmers but
little attention is given to the development Of
this quality, but those who have valuable team
horses which are employed much on the read in
the drawing of heavy loads take great pains to
have them walk well. We know Of one man
who has very valuable pair of fve-year-old
horses which never trotted a step, and he says
he would not have them trot for any sum. He
is teaching them to be good walkers, and as they
are entirely used on the road, he justly deems
this quality as one of much Importance. They
are never urged forward by the whip, but are
well fed, reasonably loaded, and are always ready
and prompt to do whatever is required of them.
This gentleman, who has had long experience
ameng horses and cattle, says that nervous,
uneasy man, who is always urging his team for
ward and constantly keeping them strained up
to high tension, does not get as much work
from them in day as the man who is more
quiet, who gives them more freedom, and who
does not himself get fdgety or uneasy Allwho
have the care of team and work horse should
bear this in mind.-Mdiae Farmer. Zoo

HEADING-UP PEAcHEs.-The New York Sun
says friend in Niagara county, that State, sends
the following receipt apropos o. the approaching
peach season: "Take mead from keg, fill it
with the handsomest ripe peaches, put in all the
whisky it will hold, then head. it up again In
winter they will be found beautifully preserved,
with the bloom all on and with slight soaking
and scalding in syrup, they are delicious ac-
compartment TO ice-cream, far superior TO any
branded peaches. The peach-whisky which re-
mains will be found excellent for mince-pies and
pudding sauce"

SowNG PLAsTER.-A correspondent of the
Country Gentleman writes: Recently saw 8
plan of sowing this fertilizer new to me, and that
was efficient and very expeditions. Several
bushels were placed in the rear.end of the wagon
box; the sower sitting ON a stool, or, what is
easier placing his knees in the plaster, and facing
the rear end Of the box. As the team moves
along, about ten feet from the fence, the sower
fills his right hand with plaster, throws it quick
ly to the left as the body moves to the right and
continues thus alternately. An active boy can,
by this plan, SOW more plaster in half day than
two strong men, and with few moments prac-
tice sow it equally as even. If the ground is
quite hard it will answer to SOW plaster in this
way on spring sown grain but it is especially
recommended for clover ground: A strip twenty
feet in width is sown at each passage across the
sold, and is not necessary to sow in lands, but
IS the field in any direction, SO that the dust
j not fly on the horses the wagon tracks be-
ing sufficient guide for the return trip"
