Birds Versus Termin.

"In 1878" says NJ. de Laurie, " l took
FIVE little sparrow-hawks from a high
tower and put them in cage on the bal
cony. The parent birds Immediately
brought them food, and was not sur
prised to see that the food consisted Of
twelve mice, four large lizards and six
mole crickets. \ meal of like size was
brought every day for a month. At one
time there were fifteen field mice, two lit
tie birds and a young rabbit. Last year
| made the same experiment with the
same general result, one meal consisting
of twelve young nightingales, one lark,
three moles and one hedgehog. The pa
rents always eat the heads Of their prey,
and picked from the bodies of the birds
some Of their feathers. In the case of
the hedgehog the only part not eaten by
these yoraciOus little creatures was the
skin Of the back, which was too much for
their maws. In one month the FIVE baby
hawks rid the world, by actual count, Of
four hundred and twenty rats and mice,
two hundred mole criekets and one hun
dred and ifty-eight lizards. Were not
the twelve poor nightiugales aud the lark
well paid for -

Uses Of Rd,chide.

The skin of animals, whether COW, cali
horse or colt, that dies on the farm Is worth
more at home than at the tanners. Cut
into narrow strips and shave of the hair
with a sharp knife, before the kitchen fire
or in your workshop, on stormy days and
evenings. You may make them soft by
rubbing. 4 rawhide halter strap an inch
wide will hold a horse better and last
longer than an inch rope. 1t is stronger
than hoop iron and more durable, and
may be used to hoop dry casks and boxes
and for hinges. Try it on broken thill,
or any woodwork that has been split
Put il on wet and nail it fast. Thin skins
make the bes. bag strings in the world.
\ rawhide rope is a good substitute for q
chain. 1t is valuable to mend broken
link in a trace chain. For some purposes
1t is best 20 use it In its natural state
For other purposes it may be dressed soft.

remain on the ground. 1t is as injurious
to a pasture as to a moving field to allow
the roots OF the grass to remain bare and
exposed to the winter weather.
A pasture will supply more grass in the
early part of the summer than IN the later
part, and to utilize it all, requires such an
amount of stock as will necessitate some
extra feeding during the dryer part of
the season.

GrOtCth Without Light.

The presence Of strong light In the early
stages Of growth seems to have retardlng
influences upon some plants. have known
instances where the lily Of the valley,
when forced in pOts-especially imported
clumpS-positiyely refuse to grow under
strong light in a warm house, yet when
moved to a dark mushroom house, or
covered with moss or litter, to exclude
light, the buds started directly, Dielytra
spectralis, lilacs, and many other decidu-
Gus plants and shrubs will break more
rapidly in the dark than when exposed TO
strong light | once saw an experiment
tried in house containing young pot
vines. They were extremely sluggish in
starting and the produce was wanted early
and, after twisting the canes with view
Of liberating the sap, till the tissues fairly
cracked, without producing any effect, the
house was covered with mats for a week,
night and day, while at the same time the
requisite temperature, with plenty OF
moisture, was kept up. The upshOt was
they broke strongly and regularly and
carried 4 good crop. OF course where
everything is covered up in this way, to
expedite growth, when the buds are push
ing and the sap fairly in circulation, the
covering must be removed and light ad-
mitted, choosing a dull day, if possible,
for uncovering, as, although growth or
eloncation in all plants in natural or arti-
fetal conditions, takes place mostly in the
night, or, at least, in that period Of the II
hours when the sun Is absent, still with
out It's consolidating and maturing inau-
ence. such growth or elongation would be
useless for producing fruit, or in most
eases flowers either; but as regards the
latter, there may be few exceptions, one
instance Of which may be furnished by
the plan now commonly adopted Of fore.
inc lilacs in the dark for the purpose Of
obtaining pure white flowers. Any one
accustomed to note the changes that take
place in spring must often have been
struck by the effect produced by two or
three dull warm days, when accompanied
"a, they often are at that period, by COM
raratively warm nights. There Is some
thing almost magical in the rapid unfold
irs of the leaves, which Is much more
uo,iccsbe than in bright sunny weather,
"a, such DAYS are often followed b. cold,
frosty nights, which chill the sap aud stop
growth. la securing the rapid germina-
ton of seeds when soWn in pots or pans
under glass, il Is \ common practice 10
put LAYER Of moss over the surface Of
the soil after the seeds are sown, and
this has been found to materially hasten
their growth. In the same way covering
radisbes and other early crops in the
open air with straw or mats 10 exclude
light. an even state of moisture and tenn
pcruture has an important Influence on
the early termination Of the seeds. Some
NAV saw that the even ate of moisture

Bran and Corn Meal for Coi0s.

The Practical Farmer says 1t Is well

milk secretious in COWS, and il Is fed al
most universally. About equally mixed
with corn meal Is the stall proportion
This mixture seems t. promote both
quantity and quality of milk. Hungarian
grass Is also found for Itch cows 10 be
rather superior to the ordinary run OF
hay. The last year or two Hungarian
grass has locmed up wonderfully in the
estimation Of our dairy turner's. 1t ma
