An Accurate Time-Piece.

49, While on the subject of
Waltham watches, we may mention that
we have seen letter from the Com
mander Of the Gordon Castle Castle
line of Steam Packets), who was fortu-
nate enough to save life at sea, and who
for his gallant conduct was presented in
September last with Gold Keyless
Waltham Watch by the President of the
United States, on bel alf of the London
Local Marine Board. Referring to this
Presentation Watch, he says: J" When
I left London the watch was six seconds
fast, and on my arrival at Singapore it
was only three seconds slow, most ex-
traordinary performance for . watch, as
carried It on my person the whole
time. / compared it every day with my
chronometers on the passage out, and it
seldom Or ever differed one second from
them; in fact, / found it almost, if not
as good as my chronometers, which is a
great deal to say for q watch carried
about and subject to all kinds OF jolts. =

Breaking Steers.

The mode of breaking steers prac-
ticed in Kentucky is thus described:
Where the establishment is large one,
and there are some to be broken in
every year, the fixture and practice
here recommended would seem to be
eligible and iudicious: sect a strong
post, eight feet long by two thick; plant
it three and half feet in the ground,
well rammed; round or level the top OF
the post and leave a pin to it, or make
a mortice and insert strong two-inch
pin of tough wood in it, perpendicularly
at the top, six or eight inches long.
Then get q tough sapling twenty-five
feet long; measure off at the small end
of it the usual length of a yoke, and
bore the holes for your bows. Then
bore three holes, or more if you choose,
four, eight and twelve feet from the
other end of the sapling, Of the size Of
the pin in the top of the post, giving
the shortest lever first, draw your steers
up, let them be young or old, gentle or
wild, it makes no difference; yoke them
to the end of the pole; but instead of
tying their tails together, if you wish
to avoid bob-tail oxen, tie their loins
together with good rope, wrap up
their head halters, clear the front, and
let them go; round and round they will
go with rush; drunk-drunker, still
they grow, until grooming, down they
drep. For while they lie painting and
looking wild, then leap as if suddenly
frightened, rush round and round again,
grow drunk and drop again, Leave
them, they viii repeat the experiment,
until, reeling, they will stop OF stand.
In few hours you may lead them
around by their halters. Uncouple
them from the pole, or yoke them to
your cart, and drive them where you
please with safety. Toledo Blade. s.

"A practical farmer recommends
the growing of two crops of buckwheat
in succession, as means OF exter-
minating wire-worms. They will not
eat. buckwheat, and are starved to
death.
As to fertilizers, there is nothing
equal to wood ashes, says Hiram Sibley,
and they should be sown broadcast inn
mediately after planting corn, or APP
piled literally about the plants as soon
as they are up. Corn is a potash plant,
but requires the phosphates. Fertil-
izers should be sought which contain
both, and, when sown broadcast, they
may be used unsparingly with profit.

Steamed corn bread is particularly

a half of melted butter; steam for two

Corn which is hilled will blow
down more readily than that which has
level culture. This can be accounted
for by the fact that corn-roots run very
near the surface, and when hills are
made they are confined to the small
space covered by the hill, while in level
culture the roots run from one row to
the other, thus enabling the corn to
stand strong, as nature intended, and
in no way liable to be blown down ex-
eept by winds of unusual violence.

Sot a Model Detective.

s.
Yesterday afternoon young lady,
wearing a look of innocence upon her
countenance, entered police headquar-
tiers and glancing around from one to
another of the many men assembled
there, as if searching for some particu-
lar person, walked up to one of the
clerks and timidly asked for a detect
i've
"Any particular one?' asked the
clerk.
..No, SIR was the reply, given in a
half whisper.
s'Pray be seated, . said the clerk, of
fering the lady a chair; las soon as one
comes in-I expect one every moment
4 will present him to you.
In a few moments one of the detect
i've force, who is noted among his
brother officers as caring more for his
business than for style and fine clothes,
came in and was introduced to the
young lady in waiting, and at his re-
quest she accompanied him into an adj
joining Office. Before stating her BUSH
ness, or even taking a seat which the
officer offered her, she looked at him
from head to foot for few moments, and
then asked, Are you really detect
ive?''
This question brought a blush to the
officers face aad for a second he seemed
staggered and at loss for an answer,
but he soon recovered his composure,
assured the lady that he was a detect
i've, and inquired why she had asked
that question.

nl.Treatment OF Horses.

Year in and year out horses are kept
in ill-ventilated and dark, damp apart
ments, and yet are expected to keep in
health. 1t may never have occurred to
the average mind that of all animals
which serve useful purposes the horse
is most abused. But it is true. Ii this
animal did not have a constitution
like a horse" three-quarters of our
horses would be killed every day. We
are careful of our cows, of our hogs, of
our sheep, and of our chickens, but the
poor horse must suffer Perhaps he is
improperly fed and improperly watered;
from the beginning Of winter until
spring he may be compelled to eat one
kind of food, when common humanity
ought to be enough to suggest an occa-
sional feed of roots. He is often
strained beyond all reason. and nothing
thought of the cruelty. He is driven
on cold days until he becomes heated,
and then compelled to stand without
covering until thoroughly chilled. But
it is horse, and so nothing is thought
of it. The stable is filthy and badly
ventilated, and every inspiration which
the animal takes while in it is an inha-
lation of disease and breeding
impurities. The horse is strong ami
NAL, but the physical system will not
stand everything. If properly taken
care of, horse is seldom, sick. Com
mon humanity ought to be enough to
send for a graduated. veterinary sur
geon to treat their sick animals, and
not for a homemade quack to pour
down their horse all the poisonous stuff
they can get into him, which is enough
to Kill any horse in a healthy condition;
then where is the chance for the sick
horse to escape? We. have nowadays
so many quacks who profess to be vet
Urinary surgeons and never saw a hos
pital in their lifetime. Such men are
a rliination to our land. They. kill
many valuable animal through their
ignorance and foolishness, If farmers
would not employ such quacks they
could save many valuable animal
