A Curious Old Law.

The Raleish IN. c. Observer
says: Ga January /, 17Gl, IAN
act for destroying crows, black
birds and squirrels in the county
of Hyde" went into force. Ii
rec:!es the damage and injury
yearly done to the growing corn
and mast, and enacts that all mas
tiers, mistresses and overscers
shall cause to be killed or killev-
cry year two crows, fifty black
birds ard five squirrels for each
taxable listed. The penalty fol
set obeying the law was forfeit
ure of two shillings for the crows,
two shillings for the black birds
and one shilling for squirrels.
The parties Killing what were
then greet pests received a certif'
cate to that effect from a Justice
of the Peace. The Sheriff de
manded thes certificates in col
lecting his taxes, and upon failure
or refusal to produce them, dis
ffess was made on the goods and
cfftttels of the persons so relus
ing. and sale followed upon an ad
vertisement of five days.

Effect Of Hard Water up
on Animals.

Horses have an insiinctv
love for soft water, and refuse
hard water of they can possi-
hly get the former. Hard wa
Ser produces Il rongh and star
ing coat on horses, and renders
them liable to gripcs. Pigeons
also refuse hard water ii they
can obtain access to soft. iCleg-
horn states that hard water in
Minora causes diseases to the
system Of certain animals, es-
pecially Of sheep. So much
arc race horses influenced by
thc quality of the water, that il
is not unfrcqucnt to carry a sup
ply of soft water in the locality
in which the race is to take
place, lest there being only
hard water, the horses should
lose condition. bIr. Youa;t, il
his book called 'eI'hc Horse,
ecmarking on The desirab!cnes:
of soft water for the horse, says
"Instinct or experience has
made the horse himself con.
scious Of This, for he will never
drink hard water if he has nc.
cess 10 soft; lie will leave tht
most transparent water Of th(
well fer a river, although Ok
water may be turbid, and ever
Tor the muddiest pool" AnC
aS1in in another place he says
Hard water drawn fresh from
the well will assurcdly make
the coat of a horse unaccus
tofhed 10 ii stare, and will no
unfrequenlly grippe or frr,he.
jnjure him."

Unpleasant but True

1t is painful to note Of laje
years how many criminals come
from honorable American fami-
lies. 1t is because they have
been brought up to be "above"
hard work. Meantime sturdy
foreigners who know the worth
Of a farm in this free country,
quietly take possession of the
plow, the spade and hammer.
They dig and dclye as the pio-
neer ancestors digged and deiv-
ed. Their strong-limbed boys
and girls put to the common
school unit! they arc old enough
10 work, when they, too, must
earn their own living aAd help
earn that of others. From the
ranks Of these children Of for
eign born citizens will come the
men Of power who arc TO rule
this country in the next gener-
alton.

The Rural World says: "ln
planting trees, shrubs and vines,
place no manure in contract with
the roots. Many persons think
they are doing a nice thing for
their trees to sprinkle manure
1morg their roots in The process
Of planting, but iastead they do
larm. If you put the manure a
)ove the roots when the bo!es are
nearly filled, so when the dirt is
replaced it will be fairly covered,
good will result from the applica-
ton. Cow manure or we'll rotted
stable manure is used with sue
cess To prevent injury from Sc
we're froS's, and also 10 benefit tie
trees by enriching ground. c2arSe

straw, my be spread over the

Broad Tires to wheels.

The condition Of the roads
the past winter has done more
10 commend baoad-iired wheels
than all the arguments that have
ever been uttered. The solt
roads have been so cut up with
the one and lhrce-qualter inch
wagon-tires, and these have
sunk so deeply in the mud that,
in some places, travel has been
impossible for weeks at a time.
Those who have beer THIS mud
bound, arc now convinced that
it might have been better for
them had the tires Of their wag-
ons been three or four inches
wide; but they are still in doubt
about the ease of draft OF these
broad wheels. Now, it should
be evident that a broad wheel
that will not sinkinto The ground
is Of much easier draft than Z
narrow one that cuts in two o.
three inches. The difference il
draft of a narrow and broad
wheel upon the hardest smooth
est road is inappreciable, and j
is a matter OF doubt if it is il
favor Of one or the other. The
orctically there may be a differ
cnce to a small extent, in favor
, Of the narrow tire. A load Of
manure can be drawn across
; plowed ground in broad-tireC
wagon BY team that could no
move it in one with narrow tires
+ and the softer the ground tn,
: more apparent Will be the diff
? ference in favor Of broad whoe,s
It is TO b, hoped that the man
, ufacturcrs Of wagons will max
hcexperimMt Of offcringwhccl
/: with broad tires; we beliey
] they would soon become yer,
popular.

The Poultry World says: Gas
soon as wediscover any symptoms
of gapes among our chickens, we
know that there are worms-very
small rcd worms-in their wind
pipes, and we give them camphor
in their drinking vessels, strong
enough to make quite a tafte of
the camphor. Then, il any get the
disease quite badly before we dis
cover it, we force a pill of gum
clmphor down the throat about
the SIZE of a small pea, and the
fumes of that dose will kill the
worms. NJ kinl of worms can
live in camphor, hence, camphor
must be a powerful vermifuge."

The CAL1FoRSIA WHEAT CRoP. =
The San Francisco Chronicle says
tha prospect at this til e is the pres
eat year will be, by millions of
'centals, the most productive of
wheat and cereals ever yet eX
pefienced by the farmers of Cal
ilorinia. The acreage of wheat
is probably thirty-fve to 70. ty per
cent. greater than was planted IL
1872. when our exports were IL
ESQ, l40 bushels, leaving HON"
supply Of not less than 100000
bushels for seed and bread. Ii is
also probable that the yield per
acre this year will average above
that Of 1872.
