A correspoudent in the Rursl World

A correspondent in the Rursl World
shows some points of difie ence between
| British and American methods OF feeding
stock, as follows: In Crest Britain tur~
nips are cut, reduced to pulp and mixed
with cut hay or straw, and allowed TO
ferment. Hay and straw are always cut
up and mixed with mesl. Stock rsisers
in England buy oil cake, which Ameri.
cans consider TOO expensive. They wet
and use it with cut hay and straw and
meal and pulped turnips. The manure
from such feeding is regarded as 0. great
value.
Experience with the Colorado beetle
should prompt the esrly planting OF pos
! tatoes; also abundant manuring and
good preparation OF the soil. The latter
often doubles the crop. An extra 100
bushels of potatoes per acre are well
worth working for. 1t does not pay TO
plant large seed. Small, well-ripened
seed will be the most profitable when its
cost is considered. After much observs.
ton there appears no difference in the
crop from small and large seed. 0 course
there is limit, and potatoes SIS small as
hickory nuts sre not referred TO.
Regarding borers in peach trees, says
the Country Gentleman, it is useful TO
heap peck Of dry Stacked lime about
the peach trees after the gTubs bad been
picked, aud before the earth is drswn
back to the tree. The lime kills any
grubs that may be lett. If live grub
is thrown into the dry lime it will soon
die; this may be tried to satisfy an in
euiring mind. Having used lime IN
this way in 1877, the writer found no
borers st all in his trees in 1873, and
therefore has confidence in this means of
repressing the depredstiens OF this pest.
A correspondent OF, the Indiana Far
mer, from Labette, Kansas, uses the fol-
lowing continuance to prevent COWS from
sucking themselves Cows may be
cured of sucking themselves by the use
of two sticks long enough TO reach from
the butts Of the horns to the back OF the
shoulders. Cut notches in both ends Of
the sticK, and secure one end Of each to
the base OF your cows horns. Then
pass rope around her body just back
of her fore legs. Fasten the other ends
of the sticks TO this rope by mesDs OF
knots about midway OF each side.
will psy for all the milk the COW gets
when the above directions are followed"
Much cleverseed is wasted by sowing
too early and also by scattering it upon
the surface without covering. Allseeds
should be covered, although under very
favorable circumstances they would
sprout and grow, even if not covered.
If you harrow your wheat, that should
be dene as soon as the ground is dry,
then SOW the clover Immediately after
the harrow, the gradual leveling down
of the little burrows made by the harrow
teeth will cover the seed. When cios
verseed is sown on the surface too esriy
a warm rain viii sprOut it, then frosty
night will destroy the young rootlets
which have not yet penetrated into the
ground, and the seed is wasted.

One of the new industries of Germany,

substitute for the seed is then shaken up
with some coloring substance until it
acquires the desired hue. An ordinary

however, to expose the cheat.

The use of cows milk in nervous dis
orders is very highly recommended by
our best physicians. They prescribe it
to be used st all hours, and recommend
the patient TO drink as much as four
quarts per day if agreeable. The con-
slant and exclusive use of this article
after time becomes very tiresome, and
the milk acquires an unpleasant taste.
L may In degree be avoided by Nesting |
:he milk and adding enough salt to
iavor it, in this form doing as much
god as in sny other.

Seventeen Children Die from Drinkias

| Boston Herald.
The entire school district known SIS
| the Jacobs Mills district, at Newark,
ten miles from Island Pond, VT, num-
boring twenty children, drank water
from brook poisoned by the esrcasses
OF desd horses and sheep; also potato
tops upon which Paris green had been
used, they being thrown into the brook.
Seventeen children were taken down,
and eleven are dead. The Others can.
not live. Edward Morse lost two, Fred.
Simpson one, L. Wilson one, Mr.. Park
one, john Cole one and John Aldrich
five, his entire family of children.
Mrs. Aldrich is bopelessly insane. The
children suffered untold agonies, and
after death the bodies became putrid
and required immediate burial. Work
has been suspended and great excitement
prevails. The teacher of the school
noticed something wrong about the
taste of the water and forbade its use
in the school, but seventeen of its
scholars used it and were stricken down
within twenty.ieur hours. One of the
children. son OF Mr.. Hudson, pulled
through. Just above the schOol-house
was q field of potatoes, and Paris green
was used extensively to exterminate
potato bugs. The potato tops were
dumped into the barn-ysrd OF Horace
Cheney, who built drain from the
barn-yard to the brook He also buried
colt in the spring of 1878 on the edge
of the brook, and the flowing water
washed ou. parts of the CARCASS. A
Mr.. Simpson, who has lost one child,
objected to the colt being buried there,
and caused Cheney to move it and
bury it elsewhere, which was done,
but it was buried in 8 swamp only
fifty feet from the brook, the water OF
which ran into the brook. Cheney
remarked that he guessed he
hadn't bettered it much. Violent
threats are freely expressed toward
Cheney. Samples OF the water have
been sent 10 Boston for analysis, and
the selectmen will not take any pro-
ceedings till the result is known. Old
and young are taking the disease, but in
milder form, and will soon recover.
Six physicians have been unremitting
in their attendance. Public opinion
runs high, each one having his or her
views of the troubles, no two stories
being alike. The brook was poisoned,
and Cheney did it" is the common ex>
preston. The matter will be thoroughly
and properly sitted, and the offenders, if
any, will meet with Just punishment.
