The eiacuiationsI Of these wretches are
harmless enough, but they should excite
no compassion. The very best purpose
the murderous brutes can be put to Is
hanging. The law has been admin
istered with so much laxity in this State for
years past that this class of creatures have
come to think there Ia no punishment for
crime. The hanging fete should go on Tor
some time yet. There are in prison and at
large In this State some twenty Or thirty
more of the brutes, whose precious necks
ought to be broken by the sheriff.

Agricultural Education.

TO farm proitably one must think
correctly and correct thought comes
from reflection and training. 1t is the
veriest folly to expect from the recent
graduate a trained experience but we
should ask for trained mind which can
quickly receive the teachings OF ex-
perience, and fit for profitable uses: We
do not ask, for our part, for our colleges
to graduate practical farmers we but
ask that they graduate men educated to
act from princi pies, and to think correct
ly, and in whom the charms of coun-
try life and the possibilities of farm
ing career having taken root. When
farming, practical farming, has the SYM
pathies Of an educated class Of men,
there is everything to be hoped. When
men trained to think, and whose thought
is trained to take expression in action,
enter upon the arena of a farming life,
the possibilities of our soil and location
are to become developed to an extent
little realized. A class of educated
farmers means greater opportunities tor
the common farmers whose education
has been derived from toilsome expert
ence and the conflict of trials. 1t means
better and more practical lectures, moro
useful agricultural societies. y higher
toned agricultural press, the exclusion
of dead-beats from agricultural in
fuence, and healthier tone in agricul-
ture generally. Education brings self
respect, and self-respect draws to itself
the respect of others.
This is our agricultural politics In a
nutshell. - Scientific Farmer, +

To EXterminate the Red Ant.

Prof. Leidy states that when he pur-

was undergoing repairs, lie noticed a
fragment of bread, left by of the work.
men in one of the second story rooms,
swarming with little red ants Appre-
hending that the house was seriously in
tested, to ascertain whether it was so,
he placed piece of sweet cake in every
room from the cellar to the attic. At
noon every piece was found covered with
ants. Having provided cup of turpen-
tine oil, each piece was picked up with
forceps, and the ants tapped into the oil.
Tho cake was replaced, and in the eve
ming was found covered with ants. The
same process was gone through the fol-
lowing two days, morning, noon, and
night The third day the number of
ants had greatly diminished, and on the
fourth day there were none. He at
once concluded the ants had all been
destroyed, hut in the attic he found a
few feeding on dead house flies, which
led him to suppose that the remainder
had become suspicious Of the sweet
cake. He accordingly distributed
through the house pieces of bacon,
which were afterwards found swarming
with ants. This was repeated with the
same result for several days, when in
like manner with the cake, the ants final
ly ceased to visit the bacon. Pieces of
cheese were then tried with the same
result, but with an undoubted thinning
in the multitude of ants. When the
cheese proved no longer attractive, rec
ollecting the feast on dead flies in the
attic, dead grasshoppers were supplied
from the garden. These again proved
too much for the ants, and after few
days trial, neither grasshoppers nor
anything else attracted them. They APP
pear to have been thoroughly extermi-
mated, nor has the house since been in
tested with them.

The California Tule wheat Fields.

Editorial correspondence Of the Troy
Budget, from California, has the follow
ing:
In California they never talk about
the number of bushels in crop. It is
always stated by so many tons. Speak
ing OF the wheat crop reminds me Of the
tule lands, and the curious way of cult
waiting them. Please pronounce tule as
though it was spelt toola. Tule is the
name OF the weed that grows ten feet
high on the soil. The tule lands are
those vast alluvial bottoms in the great
valleys, traversed by the larger rivers
that come down from the mountains to
the sea. The river banks are dyked by
Chinese cheap labor to keep off the wa
tiers of the stream from the tule lands
on which the crop is to be raised. The
tule lands are black rich, much of the
richest sort, and bear enormous crops of
wheat. Seventy-fve bushels to the
acre, and down to forty is what they
name. The lands are too watery and
soft-bOttOmed to be plowed in the Ordi-
nary manner. So to prevent the horses
from being mired, wooden shoes, 8 by II
inches, screwed on the iron shoes, are
put on the feet of the four horses that
draw the pillow. Very little blowing an
swers. Then the wheat is sown broad
cast with hand machine. The land
being soft and miry it is found imprac-
ticable to harrow or drag in the seed
wheat in the usual manner. Therefore
fiocks of sheep, 500 in flock, are driven
over the fields after the seed has been
scattered, and the sheep tread in the
seed as well as it could be done by har-
rowing or dragging. The sheep walk
across the field compactly, are kept to-
gether by shepherd dogs, and perform
their work perfectly They are allowed
certain hours to rest and feed, and when
treading in the seed seem to know their
biz" as well as though they had served
an apprenticeship at it. A flock treads
in sixteen acres a day. Later in the
season when the crop has ripened, the
ground has dried to such an extent that
the work of harvesting is easily per-
formed In the great tule land wheat
fields the Wood header gathers in the
crop like thing of life. Most of the
tule lands are in the valley of the Sac
ramento and San Joaquin rivers, and
they are usually overlooked twice year,
once in the rainy winter season and once
in June, when the SHOWS on the noun
tains melt. The tule lands are in part
islands separated by small sluggish
branches of the river. The lands Of the
tule islands alone exceed 100000 acres.
The tule lands usually being lower than
the streams, are often and easily irri-
gated, and the crop may be put in any
time from November to the end Of
June.

PRESERVING MEAT-There are va
rious modes of preserving meats for the
table, varying in the proportions of the
ingredients used, but in nearly all salt
being the chief Salt alone. it is well
known will keep beef for an almost I'M
limited length Of time, but it removes
all the juice of the beef, and leaves it
hard and tasteless. TO preserve beef
in rich juicy condition, with the favor
of the meat intact, as little salt as can
be, to prevent decomposition, should be
freely used, and with care in keeping
the meat covered with the brine, and
scalding and skimming it is as necessary,
an excellent quality of beef may be
kept very late in the season. The fol-
lowing proportions are recommended:
To 100 pounds of beef cut in pieces
suitable for boiling, add four quarts
salt, four pounds brown sugar, and four
ounces saltpcter. Sprinkle the mixture
over each piece as is packed, and pound
down there solid and weight heavily
with stones. No water may be added,
as will be enough brine formed from the
beef and the other materials.

tic medicine that can be employed: cleans
ing the stomach and bowels, and even the
blood. In small doses of one pill day,
they stimulate the digestive organs and
promote vigorous health.
AYERS PILLS have been known for
more than quarter of a century, and have
obtained a worldwide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the several assimilative organs of the
body, and are so composed that 0bstruc-
tons within their range can rarely with
stand or evade them. Not only do they
cure the everyday complaints of every
body, but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have baffled the best OF
human skill. While they produce power
full effects, they are, at the same time, the
safest and best physic for children. By
their aperient action they grippe much less
than the common purgatives, and never
give pain when the bowels are not infiamed.
They reach the vital fountains ofthe blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the elements of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions in
all climates, containing neither calomel
nor any deleterious drug, these Pills may
be taken with safety by anybody. Their
sugar-coating preserves them ever fresh,
and makes them pleasant to take; while
being purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.

Cutting Corn with q Reaper. -Husking
Machines.

A correspondent of the Country Gen
tleman at Brewsters, n. Y, writes: II
concur with your correspondent, f. w.
s., in the possibility Of cutting corn
with reaper l have practised it sue
cessfully for the past five years. In
cutting very tall and thick fodder corn,
it is good plan to remove two of the
rakes in order to prevent the stalks
catching fast and being carried around.
The only difficulty find in cutting hill
corn is the tendency of the rakes to
break off ears A little care, however,
when the corn is stocked will save all of
these | used the Buckeye reaper, and
have never found any corn so large that
it would not cut it in good order. With
me, husklng machines have proved
success. | bind the gavels left by the
reaper before they are put into stocks.
The corn is then easily drawn to the
barn when it is wanted for husking If
the corn is green. considerable will be
shelled in husking. If dry, very little
When the work is done in the barn, all
the shelled corn can be saved. Two men
can easily husk sixty bushels of ears in
an hour. The Phillips husker, as now
made, shells very little. The stalks are
materially benefited by the operation.
They pass throcgh heavy iron rollers,
which crush them without breaking off
the leaves. If they are to be ted WHOLE
they are IN better condition for cattle
to eat, and the butts that are left will
rot sooner for the crushing. If they
are to be cut, the sections will fall to
pieces as they come from the cutter
Another and still greater advantage is
the removal from the stalks of smut
and the sand and gravel which adhere to
the butt when set up on the ground.
After an experience of five years, | am
of the opinion that -husker would
pay by improving the quality of fodder
corn alone, if | did raise hill corn. =
