A Rare Fruit.

Mr.. T. G. Phinney, the SER
geant-at-arms of the Vermont
Assembly, has received from
Thomas T. Prentiss, United
States Consul at Maize, Seychel-
les Isles, for the State cabinet,
a rare specimen of the fruit Of
the cocoa de naer tree, a native
of the Seychelles Island, which
is found in no other part of the
world. The tree reaches a
height of one hundred feet;
its leaves are twenty feet long
and ten feet broad; it is from
thirty to forty years old before
the fruit appears, and it requires
seven years fer the fruit to RI
pen. The leaves are employed
for matching houses, and they
resist for several years the ac-
ton of the wind and rain. The
fruit is about the color and size
Of a winter squash.

Feeding Horses.

The MIcbigGn Farmer has
this good advice:-Almost of more
Importance than the form in which
food is given, are the frequency
and regularity of meals. The
horses digestive organs are not
constructed for long fasts. Long
intervals without food produce
hunger, and hunger begets voraci-
ty; food is bolted, and indigestion
and collie follow. This is doubly
true and dangerous with horses
doing hard work. They come to
their long deferred meal not only
hungry, but exhausted; not only
is tie food bolted, but the stomach is
in ouch a state as to be incapable
of thoroughly active digestion, and
is overpowered by half the amount
of food it could otherwise digest.
The prevention of waste is almost
attained when we give a proper
form; but there are two points to
which it is right to devote some
attention--the form of the man.
gers, and attention to the wants
of the individual animals. The
managers should not be less than
three feet long, eighteen inches
wide, and twelve inches deep.
They should have an upper Dor
der of wood projecting inward for
two inches and a transverse bar
OF half inch iron across the mid.
die. A piece of two-inch hoop
iron, on the top of the manger,
protects it from damage by the
horses teeth. This simple ar
rangement prevents the horse
from throwing out his corn, and
the provender is not set in so
thick a layer as in the ordinary
narrow shallow manger.

Non-Heading Cabbage.

A writer i'll a recent number
of the american AgriculturiSt
says
Last autumn I was mourning
over an unusual number of half
developed cabbage, which was
only fit to be fed to the COWS,
and mentioned the fact to a
Duchess county farmer, who is
in business in New York, ask
ing if his crop turned out badly.
His answer was, that he had no
more soft heads than he wanted,
or to the effect that he would
feel disappointed if he had not
a considerable number. Now,
we, neither of us, raise cabbage
for market, but for our own con-
sumption mainly, and l was ut
terly at a loss to know what he
could do with a quarter of his
crop that failed to make heads.
He told me that he dug a
wide trench, so deep that after
some top soil was thrown in he
could set the cabbage out in
the trench as close as they
could stand, and their heads
would not come up level with
the top of ground. When
planted, he covers the trench
with boards and some brush,
corn stalks, salt hay and earth
on the top, keeping it open at
the ends, or elsewhere, until cold
weather, and then covering it in
close. He said they would all
have firm, solid heads in the
spring.
1 tried it, and at the time ]
write (ApriD we are enjoying
the best cabbage we ever ate.
They are rather small to be
marketable, say Al to 8 inches
in diameter, solid and sound,
crisp and tender, as delicate as
caul;flowcrs, and what is most
remarkable, 1 never know when
we are going to have cabbage
for dinner until / see it on the
table. The great objection l
have to the most wholesome and
delicious vegetables is, that it
usually fills the house with its
perfectly detestable odor, so to
have the cabbage without the
drawbacks is worth all the
trouble it costs.

Destroying Weeds.

On looking back many years,
we see the progress which has
been made in the mode of attack
ing them. in successive grada-
tons, Half a century ago the
common injunction was, to "pull
up and remove carefully those
which had gone to seed, to pre-
vent the seeding of the next
years crops" to "be careful not to
scatter the seed" which has been
already borne in abundance.
This was regarded as good and
careful management. But an i'm
provement was made on this
mode, namely, not allowing the
seed to ripen-this formation was
to be prerented--an excellent
idea it seemed to be: under this
improved treatment weeds were
destroyed when half foot high,
more or less. But observing cul-
tivators were not satisfied. They
discovered that the labor of root
ing out these full-grown or half
grown monsters was too great.
They struck boldly, therefore, for
the destruction of these intruders
while they were only an inch
high. The labor was decreased
incredibly. There was a great
difference in the force required to
crush a delicate little organization
as large as a cambria needle,
and one a foot high, with roots
like strong horns branching and
penetrating the soil another foot,
and lifting the plants Of the crop
when torn out. The improved
mode lessened the labor ten,
twenty, or thirty fold. The great
point, then, was to take the weeds
in time, and it was found to be
better to pay man five dollars a
day to destroy them in their fee.
BILE and delicate condition, then
fifty cents a day when stout and
shading the whole crop.
But a still farther improvement
was made, and this was to des.
troy the weeds before they came
up, when they were just begin
ming to send out their minute
white fibres from the seed. In
other words, the steel rake, fine
harrow, or cultivator, is passed
over the surface while it is yet
perfectly clean. The process con-
sists insimply mellOwing thorough
ly the whole surface without
waiting for any Of them to make
an incipient appearance.
Perennial rooted weeds, as Can.
ada thistle, milk-weeds, quack
grass, &C., which spread mostly
by the roots, may be thoroughly
eradicsted in a single season, and
at little expense, by blowing of
ten enough to keep the leaves per
petualiy under.
For annual weeds, kill them in

Hiring Horses.

The Turf, Field and Farm,
good authority on this topic, has the
following concerning matterofin.
terest to livery men and their GUS
toners: at has been decided that
when a horse or carriage is let out
for hire, for the pupose OF perform.
ing particular journey, the par
ty letting warrants the horse and
carriage fit and competent for
such journey. If the hirer
treats the horse and carriage as
any prudent man would do, he is
net answerable for any damages
either may receive. But be must
use the horse for the purpose for
which he hired him. For in
stance, a horse hired for saddle
must not be used in harness. If
the hirer violates the express con.
dition of the contract, he is liable
for any damage that may occur.
If the horse is stolen through the
hirer's negligence, such as leaving
the stable door open all night, be
must answer for it. But if he is
robbed of it by highwaymen, when
travelling the usual road at usual
hours, he cannot be held for dam
ages. AS these questions are fire.
quently in dispute it is not out of
place to shed a little light upon
them"
