The Trading Rat Of the Rocky Mount
aius

A curious statement is made about
the trading rat, which is one of the
unique and interesting animals met
with in the Rocky mountains. The
miners of the region d. clare that, al
though these rats enter houses, camps
and mines and take things that do not
belong to them, they never take an ar
ticle without leaving something
its place. They conduct trade and
hence their name. They enter DWELL
ings at night, and steal anything they
can find, carrying away spoons, knives
and forks, but invariably leaving q chip.

An Electric Lamp Story.

An old couple went to the Crystal
Palace, were charmed with the electric
incandescent lights, and asked the
price, and found it moderate, the Swan
lamp only costing IS each. Their means
were limited, but the advantage seemed
great, and they resolved to risk it, and
invested in three or four Swan lamps.
"Of course" said the intelligent clerk,
who handed them the Swan circulars,
s'you know all about the engines and the
different systems of producing electrici-
ty?" ''Jist like these feliers, my dear,'
said the cautious old gentleman soto
voce, nudging his wife. "Come along,
Maria" He thought he was going to be
wheedled into buying lot more things
by pushing young tradesman, and SO
the two hurried off. They got home,
and taking a box of lucifers, applied
match after match to the >'flalnent,"
after removing the globe "a vacuum)
with some difficulty. Still the thing
would not light. At last, enraged, they
appealed to the firm, and were-toc
late-initiated one step further into the
mysteries of electric lighting, which GER

"A successful Boston florist says that
he seldom fails to root slips of the most

Horse with Heayes: If the disease
is not of long standing, as when brought
on by the overlooking of hay, during the
the past winter, especially clover or
dusty hay, and the hay is taken away,
there is a possibility that the horse may
yet be useful for some years. But if the
horse is well advanced in years, and
has had the heaves for a long time,
there is certainly no prospect Of cure.
Partial relief may be obtained by feed
ing very lightly on hay. giving sweet
grain as the principal feed, and being
careful not to let the animal have all
the water it will drink. Horses with
heaves are usually fed wet food, but if
it is perfectly sweet and free from dust
wetting is not essential. From seven
to ten pounds of hay is enough for a
heavy horse per day, and that should
be given at night.-New England

The CllrOnOmeter.

In 1714 the British Government au-
| thorized its Board of Longitude to offer
! rewards of 100000, Els 900 and f2O,O
sterling to any one who should construct
thermometers that would determine the
longitude within sixty, forty and thirty
miles respectively. This stimulated the
inventive genius of John Harrison, and
in 1875 he brought to the Board a
watch, which he also showed to HALEY,
the Astronomer Royal; to Graham, the
celebrated instrument maker, and to
others. Through their influence he was
allowed to proceed in a Government
vessel to Lisbon to test it, ard the result
was so satisfactory that the Board gave
him t5OO to carry out further improve
ments. Harrison worked at the subject
with the utmost perseverance, and after
making several watches went to Lon
don in 1861 with one which he consid-
cred very perfect. His son, William
Harrison, was sent on voyage to ia
maica to test it, and on his return to
Portsmouth, in 1862, the watch
was found to have lost only one
minute, fifty -four and half seconds.
This was surprisingly accurate, as it
determined the longitude within eighteen
miles, and Harrison claimed the full re-
ward of 100000 sterling. After some
further trials, 10000 of it was paid to
him in 1765, and the remainder in 1767,
after he had written such description
of his invention as would enable other
artists to copy it.-N. Y. Herald.

Agricultural Economies.

The profit of the future is to come in
nvoidancecof wastes of the farm. As
the country grows older, land dearer and
immigration heavier, competition wakes
tiercer in all agricultural production. A
ruinous share of the hay is lost first in
cutting when ripened to woodiness OF
dried TO hardened stems; then in giving
it out to sustain life and animal heat
rather than for fat and flesh Corn is
also thrown away by insufficient or in
judicious feeding. There is enormous
loss IN keeping poor COW that yields
three hundred gallons of milk per an
mum instead of one that produces six
hundred at about the same cost. One
may bring the owner in debt, while the
other affords a handsome profit on ex-
pense of keep. A cow that gives milk
only from April to November, and runs
dry when forage is costly and milk is
dear, should have a few months extra
feeding, and go to the butcher as soon
as possible. That a cow is dry for more
than six weeks is the fault of the owner
in not procuring .ss.the survival of the
fttest,' and again, perhaps in not sup
plying ample and sueculent food at all
seasons, while the milk habit of the
young cow is forming. The loss in milk
and meat by irregular feeding and a
change from fresh pastures to straw
stack and coarse hay during an inclem-
ent season, is an irreparable waste
which is projected into the succeeding
summer without regard to the abund-
ance of its pasture.
The losses from negligence, or want
of skill in the preparation for market,
the manipulation or manufacture from
raw material, is enormous. Milk of the
same quality, of the same cost, makes
butter at fifteen cents and at half a dol
lar per pound. Mixed fruits sell in
market at half the value of assorted
samples neatly put up. The pig prod
ucts of a famous Massachusetts farm are
disposed of in New York City at twen-
ty-three cents per pound, while similar
goods from the average farm command
but thirteen cents. Skill, taste, neat
ness and well-earned reputation for
reliable excellence get the highest re-
wards-give better dividends than the |
capital and labor represented in the |
product on which they are expended.
There is solid money in these Intangible
valuables. But the wastes that may be
avoided are numerous in every depart
ment of agricultural practice, and can
not be limited at in paragraph. They
are illustrated in the differing costs and
selling prices of the products of adioin-
ing farms in every neighborhood of the
Iand.-N y Tribune.
