the orthodox devil, a being in
whom there was no good, is not so
important a parsonage as in former
times. In other words. the devil is
not so bad and useless for good as
some have supposed him to be.
The so-called evil that he does
works to good, and the devil is a
servant of God. A railroad acct
dent is called an evil, but it leads to
greater caution and security of pas
Sengers. Poisonous herbs and
minerals are useful as medicines.
Wars make nations purer. Even
the wrath and abuse which the
Broadway omnibus driver vents on
his horses have resulted in good.
for they have created a sentiment
among people which has resulted in
the formation of a society for the
prevention Of cruelty to animals.
SO it is that God turns evil into
good, and the evil is not evil after
all.

Flower Gardens.

No matter how small your grounds may
be, there will be rosm for small bed or
border of flowers, and even if that space can
not be granted, why, plant seeds in boxes,
aud when they are in bloom place them on
your doOr-steps or in the windows. | should
grow flowers in wheelbarrows, aud daily
trundle them into the sun, il had not any
other place to make garden.
A border Of flowers around lawn, bed
close about the house or at the fence, or in
come available spot, is an ornament to the
poorest cot. If you can grow nothing but
nasturtiums under your windows, they will
brighten your surroundings and make them
picturesque. At Marblehead, Lynn and
Salem, these flowers alone serve TO adorn
many an old home aud make il beautiful.
And at these places | saw nail.kegs made
into very pretty pots for holding specimens
OF geraniums, eannas aud colcus, aud sub.
tropical plants, merely by the addition of
bright scarlet, blue or yellow paint. The
kegs were painted with one color and their
iron hoops with black aud when the three
c'lors we're interspersed among the flower
beds or put in rows upon the lawn or piazza,
they produced quite an oriental effect. The
smallest country store will furnish nail.kegs,
and any boy or girl can paint them. 1t is
an admirable way to grow double geraniums
or any kind of geranium and in the autumn
the gaily-painted casks will not look amiss

More About Dogs.

That every man or woman who can afford
it, has the inalienabe right to keep dog
confined on his or her premises. l do not pro.
pose to dispute, but | do dispute the justice
Of laws that permit dogs to run at large in
the highways, and to trespass on private prop
erty, prowling around a neighbor's premises to
pick up bone that has been thrown out TO
the hens, running up to his door to catch and
kill peaceable old cat-perhaps a pet of
the iamily-or running through the fields,
breaking down the crops aud generally ca.
rousiDg around the country to find cattle,
sheep or turkeys to destroy, aud worse yet,
occasionally running mad aud biting travellers
and children on ths streets.
believe that dogs are naturally wild and
savage animals, and that all Of them found at
large should be destroyed. A writer from
Europe says "Hydrophobia is so common 10
France that, unless secured, dogs will not be
allowed to enter the Bois de Boulogne, and if
found free are liable to be instantly shot by
the forest guard" That is the kind of a dog
law that believe in.
l know that, in advocating such doctrine,
shall meet the opposition aud i'll favor OF
many people, tor l am well aware OF the at.
tachment some men have for their dogs.
Many man can bear personal insult, or in-
suit Of wife and children, but when you ia.
suit his dog, then he is "mad clear through"
To show that my prejudice against dogs is
not ungrounded, present the following facts
X. A. Willard, IN an address before dairy
mems convention, at BinghamtOn, N. Y,
said he had known the simple employment of
a dog on dairy farms to decrease the yield of
cheese per COW nearly one hundred pounds
per annum.
The Ohio assessors returns for 1873 show
30 ,44O sheep killed, aud 35,0Sj injured by
dogs 10 that state,-a total loss Of Sl53,3IS.
According to the report Of the state board
of agriculture of Missouri, for 1870, more
than one hundred persons are reported to have
died of hydroPhObia during that year, in that
state, OocasiOned by the bite Of mai dogs.

For the vERHoSr Farmer.
Grass for Swine.

While grass is admitted by most farmers
to be the most useful and valuable of the
vegetable productions, comparatively few
are aware Of its value in growing aud fatten.
ing swine. 1t is an open question whether
the average farmer, here 10 New England,
can iatten swine at profit, if he depends
mostly upon corn for that purpose. But if
we feed mostly upon grass during the sum
mer months, with the sour milk and whey
from the dairy, aud some grain. there is a
clear profit in growing swine at present
prices. When one has a suitable pasture
near the sty, if tho hogs are ringed and
turned into it, they will cut their own grass.
If you have no such pasture give the
swine the run of small yard, and NOW
grass for them daily. Begin when it is
young and tender and NOW again when six
or eight inches high, A small piece will
suffice, it may be mown once in two weeks
all summer, and will be eaten with avidity
by the swine. Do not wait till the grass
gets too old and mature before cutting. /
make it rule to cut a small quantity each
morning while the dew is on, in my yard
aud thus keep well-out lawn and furnish
cheap and nutritious feed for the swine
which thrive as we'll as when fed on more
costly and concentrated food, l. Il w.

The American Herd Book.

The 18th volume Of the American Herd
Book Of Shorthorn cattle has been issued by
Hon. Lewis f. Allen, the editor. The vol.
ume contains over ten thousand pedigrees,
and is finely illustrated BY the inimitable
cattle portraits of Page. 1t is executed in
the usual neat, substantial style, and is an
ornament to the table of any gentleman be-
sides being an indispensable addition to the
library of every breeder Of the noblest race
of cattle in the world.
Farmers who are breeding Shorthorns,
even though they may have but small
number, should keep them recorded in the
herd book, lest their pedigrees be forgotten
and lost so that they cannot be traced.
We saw 6ne-herd of Shorthorns last winter,
thoroughbred beyond doubt, the market
value of which would be increased several
thousand dollars had their pedigree been
kept recorded.

The Hog Cholera.

This disease which has proved such q
scourge among the herds Of swine at the
west the past season, runs its course with
such rapidity that before treatment can be
applied in many cases the whole herd have
fallen victims. Where they arc saved by
treatment they are left in such a miserable
plight as to be nearly worthless. The Amer
ican Agriculturist says that breeders must
resort to preventive measures, and remarks
that:
The disease is closely related to the So
called Texan fever, or splenic apoplexy Of
cattle, and on examining a dead hog, the
spleen is found gorged with black blood,
soft, and greatly enlarged. Sometimes it
takes the form Of carbuncular erysipelas, or
the black leg Of cattle, the legs breaking
out in sores. 1t is true case Of blood pois.
oning, that results in fever which may be
called typhoid, enteric or intestinal or an
thrax, as persons may choose. The disease
can be prevented, but can hardly be cured
1t is most common in low, u1drained, mar.
shy places or where the hogs are kept in
filthy pens, and have to drink water fouled
with their own excavations From these it
spreads to other quarters where it would not
originate. Sanitary measures, good food,
pure water, clean quarters, and the regular
removal Of the droppings, and the abolition
OF the disgusting practice of permitting hogs
"to follow CATTLE" aud consume their excre.
ment would doubtless entirely prevent it.
The most economical thing in stock keeping
is humanity, aud such measures as would
preserve the health Of the owners themselves,
would Immediately remove their stock from
the danger of the viruent diseases which
now decimate them.

In thirty.two counties, during the same time
lO,6O2 sheep were killed by dogs.
Here, in Massachusetts, we do not have 50
many sheep for the dogs to kill, but mad dogs
have been quite common of late. We had
one pass through this town last summer, bit.
ing several other dogs, but fortunately no
persons were bitten, aud the only damage
was the loss of several worthless ours, and
the confinement Of the rest for somo weeks.
Within a few years we have had, 10 this
town, turkeys killed, a COW bitten and chased
into the pond, and another COW partly eaten
alive by dogs
In view Of these facts, do not the interests
OF all persons who do not keep dogs, and of
society in general, demand that dogs be re.
strained and not allowed to run at large
Why should man be allowed to let his dog
run at liberty in the streets and on other
mems premises more than his bull, or his
hogs2 Would bull at liberty be any more
dangerous than dog2 But what good do
dogs do? Many people keep them to scare
away thieves and tramps, but | doubt if it
pays in the long run. 1t has been estimated
that what 1t costs to keep dog would be
sufficient to keep pig, and at the end of
year, the owner would have two or three
hundred pounds Of pork, worth from 500 to
$50, which would be quite an item 10 poor
mans pocket, and poor men are the ones who
usually keep dogs. - Cor. Nev ENGLAND

American Grapes in Europe.

Our state entomologist, Prof. Riley, hav-
ing returned from trip to Europe, reports
that there is an extensive demand on the
part of French vine growers Tor cuttings of
several varieties Of our native grapes, includ-
ing the Taylor, Clinton Cynthiana, Herbe-
mont and Norton's Virginia. The phylox-
era or grape louise has destroyed millions of
vines. in the most celebrated vineyards of
France, and all efforts of the government or
Of individuals, have proved fruitless to stop
the mischief. Prof Planchon was sent to
this country to ascertain how cur vines with
stand the attack of this insect. He discov-
eied that majority of the best sorts of our
vines are OF such vigorous growth that the
louise fails to injure them. Some of these
varieties had been sent to France years ago
and showed no less vIgor there. Hence, the
demand for American cuttings as stocks upon
which to graft the weaker European varie.
ties. Prof Riley informs the New York
Sun that he has seen specimens OF American
vines IN France growing vigorously and ap-
parently perfectly healthy, among the black.
ened remains OF vast numbers of phylloxera-
stricken vines. As the phylloxera attacks
the root of the vine principally, the main
object of the French vineyardists is to pro.
cure American varieties to be employed as
stocks [; but very likely this course will have
to be abandoned when they learn more of
our choice vines. Yet the prejudice which
prevails in Europe against American vines
will have to be taken down before even the
best sorts are planted there for their fruit.
The Sun thinks, however, that our grape
growers can expect large foreign demand
Tor American cuttings, and that eventually
some of our varieties will be found to yield
an excellent wine when grown without graft
ing in the south of France. The wine may
be of somewhat different flavor from the old
standard French grapes, but it need be none
the less pure; and We may expect, before
another decade has passed, to find French
wines made from American grapes, well rep.
resented in our own markets.-Kansas Gin
Times.
