Facts for the Curious.

The greyhound runs by eycsight
only, and this we observe as a fact.
The carrier-plgeOn flies his two hun
dred and fifty miles homeward by sight
namely, from point to roint Of OBJ
jects which he has marked; but this is
only our conjecture. The fierce
dragon.ay, with Twelve thousand lem
ses La his eye, darts from angle TO angle
with the rapidity of flashing sword,
and as rapidly darts back, not turning
in the air, but with clash reversing
the action of his four wings, and in
simultaneously calculating the distance
of the objects, or he would dash him.
self to pieces. But In what conforms
ton OF the eye does this consist. No
one can answer.
A cloud of ten thousand gnsts dance
up and down in the sun, the minutest
interval between them, yet no one
knocks another headlong upon the
grass, or breaks leg or wing, long
and delicate as they are. Suddenly,
amidst your admiration of this match
less dance, a peculiarly high shoulder
ed, vicious gnat, with long. pendant
nose, darts out of the rising and fall
ing cloud, and settling on your cheek,
inserts poisonous sting. What pos
sessed the little wretch to do this? No
one knows.
A carriage comes suddenly upon al
flock OF geese on narrow road, ard
drives straight through the middle of
them. A goose was never yet fairly
run over, nor duck.-They are under
the very wheels aud hoofs, and yet
somehow they contrive to flap and wad-
die off. Habitually stupid, heavy and
indolent, they are nevertheless equa
10 any emergency.
Why does the lonely woOdpecker,
when he decends his tree and goes to
drink, stop several times on his way,
listen and look round, before he takes
his draught? No one knows. How Is
Ii that the species of ants which Is
taken IN battle by other ants to be made
slaves, should be black, or colored
ants? No one knows.
The power of judging of actual
danger, and the free and easy boldness
which results from it, are by no means
uncommon. Many birds seem to have
Il most correct notion of a guns range,
and while scrupulously careful to keep
beyond 1t, confine their care to this
caution, though the most obvious re-
source would be to fly right away out
of sight, and hearing, which they do
not choose to do. And they sometimes
appear to make even an ostentatiCus
use OF their power, fairly putting their
wit and cleverness in antagonism TO
that of man, for the benefit of their
fellows. We lately read an account,
by naturalist In Brazil, ofan expedi-
ton he made 10 one of the islands of
the Amazon to shoot spoon-Dills,
ibises, and other of the magnificent
grallatorial birds, which are most
abundant there.-His design was COM
pletely baff1ed, however, by wretched
little sandpiper that preceded him,
continually uttering his tell-tale cry,
which at once aroused all the birds
within hearing. Throughout the day
did this individual bird continue his
self-imposed duty of sentinel to others,
effectually preventing the approach OF
the fowler TO the game, and yet manag-
Ing to keep out of the range of his gun.

How TO MANAGE A YOUNG BULL -
20 make first class animal he should
run with the COW TIL he Is six months
old at least. If weaned earlier, feed
on new milk just from the cow three
times a day till he is six months old,
then twice day till eight months, then
once day for a month or so longer.
At an early day, say month old, give
him a little fine hay to pull at, and later
let him have some oatmeal, little oil
cake, vegetables, etc., Increasing the
rations gradually as he grows older,
Weaning from milk should be grad
ual and in pasture time. Ring his nose
at eight months and handle him from
that time on daily. After he is wean-
ed, feed as you would other cattle to
keep them in the best condition. Do
not handle the ring after it is put in
until the wound is entirely healed, and
rub on his nose some mutton tallow
twice day.

A DISCOVERY ABOUT CORN ex-
change tells of man who plants, two
or three weeks after the crop is planted,
a new hill of corn every fifteenth row,
each way. And this is the reason: If
the weather becomes dry after the fill
ing time the silk and tassels both become
dry and dead. In this condition, if 1t
should become seasonable, the silk re-
wives and renews its growth, but the tas-
sells do not recover. Then for want OF
pollen, the new silk Is unable to fill the
office for which it was designed. The
pollen from the repIanted corn is then
ready to supply silk, and the filling Is
completed. He says nearly all the abor-
tive ears so common in corr crops, are
caused by the want of pollen, and he has
known ears to double their size in this
filling.

AGRTCULTURE.

HUNGARIAN GRASS. s.-Comparatively
few tarners raise Lhls crop, hough il Is
very productive anu excellent for most
kind of stock, If ted in the proper man
ner. The time between sowing and
harvesting is shorter than tor any Held
crop raised OH farms. 1t Is useless IN
this latitude to sow 1t early in the sea-
son. To produce a good crop the'en-
tire growta OF Ihe OF the plant must
take place during very warm weather.
Ii sown at the same time oats are, the
plants will make very slow growth,
and Will remain stunted during the en-
tire season. The trouble some farmers
have experienced with Hungarian hay
has arisen mainly from allowing the
grass to remain uncut till the seed was
nearly or quite ripe. lt should be har-
vested as, soon as the seeds form and
before they have commenced To mature.
Another difficulty has arisen from the
amount of dust Hungarian grass often
contains. As it grows on land that was
recently plowed and harvested, and
oyer the surface of which there Is no
sod, much Is likely TO be disturbed
in raking and pitching the hay. This
may be prevented very largely by cut
ting the grass quite high. and by gath
ering IL when IL is cured with hand
rake instead of with horse-rake. If
gathered in this way and pitched on
the cart when the grounds moist with
dew nearly all the dust usually found
in Hungarian hay may be avoided.

you get asstout pile say four or five
bushels. Then mix thoroughly; spread
out upon the flour, and sprinkle water

expensive. For the ordinary shifts, it
