A VERMoNTFR's EXPERIMENT. Henry Fletcher.
of Lydon, has discovered new way to prevent
cows from switching their tails while being milk
ed. The manner of discovery was peculiar
He tied risky old cows tail to his boot-strap,
and proceeded triumphantly 10 extract the white
fluid The cow seemed quite anxious to accom-
modate Henry with "frisk, but the strap held
its grasp, and Henry chuckled in triumph
Presently the COW wanted to see something on
the other side of the yard, and without consult
ing Henry's convenience went over there. Henry
went with her, and they seemed to be in very
great hurry. The COW did not stop on the other
side of the yard blu buckling into her bestspeed,
she few like top several times around the yard,
with Henry hanging to her tail by his boot-strap,
ploughing two foot furrow in the barn yard.
But in the early tests of all invention, accidents
and INSTALLATIONS will occur, and in this case
that boot-strap was not quite strong enough to
exhaust that COWS ambition After few rounds
it pulled out, when the COW got away and went
to frisking her tail faster then ever. Henry
however, did not want to observe the effect upon
the COW, as the experiment had given bin toll
ct job which had to be attended TO at once. The
discovery has never been patented and Henry
will give any enterprising farmer half-interest
who will test the invention with stronger boot
strap and report results to him.-Rutland Globe

A PRoDIGY.-A COW belonging to Mr.. George
MickseI, living short distance from town, on
last Thursday gave birth to tie most curiously
deformed calf we have ever heard Of The de.
formty was confined, however, to the head
and neck, and presented the exact reverse posi-
ton Of the head to that of propery-shaped calf.
The nose and mouth pointed directly toward the
body aud helped to form the neck-the upper
Jaw aud head, as far back as the eyes, being com
pletely divided, with nostril on each side OF
the neck-the lower jaw being of a semi-circular
shape, and extending from the under to the top
part of the neck The formation of the mouth
seemed complete, as the tongue was perfect, as
also were the eyes and ears. The wonderful
creature only lived to be few hours old. Mr..
Henry Rouzer, who procured the hide Of this calf
informed US that be intends preparing and hav-
ing it stuffed, when it will be exhibited asa great
curiosity Cdtoctia Clarion.

SHEEP.-Ne stock suffers more from damp,
cold quarters than sheep. They will winter
better in an open field than in low damp
filthy yard. But they should be spared either
of these infections. An open shed that may
be closed in driving storms ought to be provi-
dsd, with roomy yard in which they may lie
in fair weather. Oats aud corn are dear this
season, and bran, rye or buckwheat may be
given with equal profit. A little variation of
feed is good for sheep, but the changes should
not be made frequently, or they will learn to
look for it and become dissatisfied Frozen
grass or cold, watery feed is bad for ewes that
are to lamb early.

$4,000 of these. Machines in Use.
The Complete Washer was patented May IS,
1872, and since its introduction has proved the
one thing needful. Seventy. five thousand CT
the Washers have been made and sold already,
and the demand increases every day. It's only
| a question of time till every family in the land
will have one of these helpers in their tub.
BY reference to the cut it will be seen that
this machine is but little larger than a wringer,
and that it is attached to a common wash tub
| in such manner that it can be easily and
| quickly taken out. The bottom board is made
long enough to fit any sized tub. In washing,
the clothes are passed rapidly between the roll
| lers, and the pressure exerted by the springs
forces the water through the Gle thes. There is
| no friction or rubbing-the washing is done en-
tirely by pressure, as experience has proven it
| to be the only correct principle.
The Complete Washer will wash carpet or
a bed-quilt or fine lace curtain or collar.
1t will wash clean any article that can be
washed by hand, in half the time and with half
the labor.
1t is so durable that the manufacturer does
not hesitate to warrant it for five years.
The machines are manufactured by F. F..
Adams, at Erie, Pa. The price of this 1" Com
pete Washer" is SIX DOLLARS. 1t will save
its cost in a short time, both in labor and wear
of clothing. T. B. MERCER,

The Doc WARFARE.-Mr. Dodge, in the Jan
uary Report of the Department of Agriculture,
has the following The warfare of dogs upon
sheep still continues; the direct losses are a mil
lion of dollars annually, in wool and mutton,
and, indirectly, even larger sum in the repres-
sion of sheep husbandry, and the consequent
waste of large percentage of the annual crop oil
grass crop more valuable than that of cotton
or corn, throughout the Southern States and
elsewhere in all dog-eursed sections of the coun-
try The canine warfare is badge of vagabond,
age an indication of savagery and lawlessness
inconsistent with progressive state ofagricutnre
In communities where "every poor man keeps
a dog, and every very poor man keeps two"
the average legislative candidate dares not pledge
himself TO vote for dog-law Until recently,
only few States iu which woodworking is prom
inent had dog-laws, which is equivalent to
saying that the ideas on which our agriculture
was based were primitive, and its rural processes
crude

THE NATIONAL GAME.

The hartford and Atlantic clubs played the nfth
game OF tine championship series upon the Union
Grounds yesterday afternoon. The attendance,
owing TO the threatening appearance Of the wea-
tner, was rather small, not more than 500 specta-
tors being present. Very little, n any, interest
was taken in the game. The Atlantic Club, which
in former years gained SO much glory upon the
BAN field appears to be fast losing its laurels.
Knowdell Clinton, Crane and Nichols play hand
somely and accurately; but the same cannot be
said for the remainder or the nine. Knowdel, OF
tue Atlantic CuD, received a severe injury during
the fourth inning, while ne was acting catcher,
being struck in the face by ball, and he " as COM
