Agriculture, said Socrates, is an EN-.
ployment the most worthy the applica-
tion of man; the most ancient and the
most suitable to his nature. 1t is the
common nurse of all persons in every
age and condition of life; it is the source
of health, strength, plenty, and richness,
and of a thousand sober delights and
honest pleasures. 1t is the mistress and
school of sobriety, temperance, JUS
tiee, religion, and, in short, of all vir-
tues, civil and military.

Keeping Celery.-D. N. Kern writes
to the Ohio Farmer that he keeps celery
as follows: "When cold weather sets in
l take the plants up, leaving a little soil
at the roots, and set them in buckets as
closely as possible; then pour in water
about three inches deep; if it dries up
during the winter then pour in little
more. keep the buckets in the cellar
where it never freezes. Last year put
fifty stalks in three tobacco buckets, and
had as nice celery in April as in Decem-
Der.

sugar, yelks of three eggs, the juice and
grated rind of three lemons; ceok till
thickened by setting in boiling water,
then add the beaten whites of three eggs;
spread between the layers of the cake
and trim off the rough edges.
Weight of Cattle by Measurement
Multiply the girth in feet by the length
over the hinder part of the buttock to
the front part of the shoulder blade, and
this product by 81 when the girth is more
than or less than feet, and by 90
when less than or more than feet,
and by 16 when less than or more than
8, and by II when less than 8. A de-
duction of pound in 20 must be made
for half-fattened cattle and for cows that
have had calves.
-Infallible Preventive for Gapes.-
When the hen has finished Matching sat
urate her well under the wings with
strong suds made of carbolic soap. This
should be repeated until the chickens or
turkeys are too old to have the gapes. |
The smell of the carbOlic prevents the
formation of the worm in the wind-pipe,
and at the same time both prevents and |
destroys lice. In the coops strew dry
strong wood ashes A teaspoonful of |
ground black pepper mixed with the
food about twice week will be found
very beneficial, both as stimulant to
the chickens and a preventive of cape
worms. Cor. Practical Farmer.
