Til 81 CAxsxED FRurrs.-H has been
well asesrtainyd by analysis that most Of
the asidSfraits put up ia tin cans hold tin
in stn:fon, which Of coursc,is taken into
! the seoysschs Sf those who eat the canaed
fruis+. Il Is an open question among phy-
siciafs TO what quantity Of this Gin can
be a. teken into the stomach without &c
rioaf results That certain quantity
win ,,St injursous there seems 20 bs no
deaDt, and this gives rise to the fear that
cont juad doses of the tin, as must Ger
tainN 4ollow the use of canned fruits,
howyvsf small. may approximate the poi
sonts,s,quantity. Invention should pro.
cee1tqIEnd safer vessels, while old canned
frui&s should be discarded.
TsEFARMER's Cow.-She should be bred
for i:epsral purposes, aud not bred for all
milk of oil beef If bred to either extreme
the IaEiner VIII find it less profitable than
the gnadle ground, where sufRciency Of
milE isaonsistent with the raising Of beef
for lhA market. The breeding to milk or
beef exclusively will do for those who do
nothing else but raise stock, but the far

the pehsft Of the farm needs the COW best
adabtfd to general purposes.
CRdfsARp Grass. The Rsval World
says Orchard grass may be sown At the
same finae that other grass seed are sown,
Sow sheut two bushels of seed to the acre.
1t viii do well if sown with clover, Is il
ripenS with it, and may be cut at the came
time. 1t succeeds well over the entire
coeptfy, is pot burnt up in dronth like
blue grass. and has given great satisfac-
tioa every where. The chief objection to
it is that it grows in bunches Or tussocks,
and does not cover the ground like timo-
thy, Vine grass or red.top. Its = good
wiste and early spring grass for pastur-
age.
Tex AsRIcULrURAI DEpAKrMKsr At
Washington estimates the shortage Of the
hog cfop ID the great hog-rsising States
as sfogowa. In Kentucky the decrease
frymlIast year, as returned by one cores
pondkat, is as per cent; 20 in Ohio IS in
Inaidha "a in Illinois; 20 in Iowa so in
Msss{siri. The decrease is but per cent.
in: Ksnsas and in Nebraska. Il also
says akere is small decline in the South
and me Middle States. A Chicago paper
sNfe have had every indication for two
nopais past of short hog supply, as the
extrfme high prices have failed TO bring
TO nifsket anything beyond meagre sup
ply. Great efforts are being made now
in tle3hog-raisiug districts to increase the
SUPPLY as fast as possible.
FYYIs.--M Most breeds. especially the
Asisftcs, if fed too freely with grain and
s,sccpeent roots, will soon grow too fat
for servlceable laying. Keep them in
good order is sufficient, and protected
froH, cold weather, in clean houses free
from Evermin, with good room to walk

''sHpCEssFUL FARMING.-Ina recent clnb
dfscussion farmer said he thought the
secfet Of successful farming lay in . the
p'opfr management ofIabor, in deep plow-
t4g,sthorough cultivation and the use Of
good|fertilisers." That farmers head was
lavas The secretis is not in one thing, nor
halt } dozen things, but in the prompt and
Well doing of the whole thing.
:iSTEEf PorAroEs.-W heard farmer
s.y fhe other day that be had six acres
et Potatoes ne had nc expectation of dig
gtn9 though the ground was bursting
o3e4 with the tubers. because he had no
ideal the price in market would Warrant
tbail digging. But won't his fattapjng
HHters rejoice in the low price of pots-
teen Pork ought 70 come down.
fArErNEs can be pruned any. tins
tgetyeen the falling of the leaves and the
r;;sifg Of the sap, but it is best to prune

VIM they may be injured by bleeding.
ooE SrocK.-Kill cut the inferior cows
tfdR the herd, and whether yonr cattle
Ee Somhaon or fine, blooded stock, keep
dnaf ths best and breed for constant i'm
Hfpken.ent.

Y less pork and bacon, because the hog
