Death of an Old Citizen.-John w. Cook,
one ofthe cid citizens ofTowsontown, died on We'd
nesday morning last, of pneumonia, in the SD
year of his age. Mr. Cook came here from Bal
timore about thirty years ago, and engaged in
the business of shoemaking. Afterwards he held
the position of gate keeper on the Duany's VAL
ley turnpike, but for some time past he had not
been engaged in any business Mr.. Cook had
always enjoyed good health and was sick but
few days. Only about two weeks before his death
he walked to Baltimore and back, a distance of
IA miles. In early life, when Mr.. Cook lived in
the city, he had as border in his house, Peter
Cooper, tIie1 .~"--, h-'+ --be ~ 80
wards became the great millionaire philantropist
of New York, now deceased. Mr.. Cook leaves a
wife and one child, the latter being the wife OF
Mr.. 3. T. Chenowith, at present clerk in the
Baltimore postofice. He was a consstant member
of the Methodist church during nearly all of his
life. His remains were inferred at Baltimore
Cemetery, on Friday.

Weighing Milk.-To those who have no lac
tometer, or who find difficulty in reconciling its
readings with their experiences in judging of milk,
u may be interesting to know that quart of
good milk should weigh about 2.15 pounds, or
nearly pounds q ounces. Water, at go degrees
Fah weighs 2.OSS5 pounds. OF course, skinned
milk shows heavier gravity, in proportion to
the amount of cream taken off, as the addition of
water also ightcns the milk. Weighing milk will
give the monthly yield in quarts more exactly
than measuring. Probably not one farmer in ten
has any definite idea as to the average yield of his
COWS in pounds or quarts. Those who have never
47ied keeping a record of the milk yield will find
One thousand pounds of average milk con-
tains Casen, 80 pounds; Fat, SO pounds;
milk sugar, 45pounds; mineral matter, pounds.

Shoeing Horses.-A practical blacksmith
makes the following suggestions, and they should
be adhered to in every particular He says: "I
have shod horses great many years, and while
do not say 1 have never burned hoofs, I have
been careful to avoid anything like such burning
as 1 know blacksmiths often infict. The practice
prevails because it makes easy pairing. Burning
sofens the shell and facilitates the work of dress
ing the hoof down to proper place for setting the
shoe. In my shoeing horses, which began when
was sixteen years old and continued more or
less until now, and am almost seventy, constant
observation has shown me that burning tends to
contract the hoof, especially to narrow the heel.
Its effect is to check growth, and that certainly
is hurtful. In burning the hoof blacksmiths are
not at all careful to stop the operation before the
parts of the hoof through which circulation ex-
tends are injured.

Keeping the Birds Away.-A grape-grow-
ers novel method to keep the birds away from
the fruit. Last season he had a scarecrow cat
The "animaP' was made of Canton flannel, of the
color of Maltese cat, stuffed with curled hair.
Hair is better than wool or cotton, as it soon
dries out after rain. A "cat' of this kind will
effestually protect the grapes from the birds for
twenty feet on all sides.

A Good Receipt.-A mixture excellent for
removing grease spots and stains from carpets
and clothing is made of two ounces of ammonia,
two ounces of CASTLE soap, ounce of glycerne,
and one ounce of ether; cut the soap fine, dis
solve it in one pint of water over the fire; add
two quarts of water. This should be mixed with
water in the proportion of a teacupful to one or
dinary sized pail of water. Mix thoroughly. For
removing grease spots use a sponge or clean fan
mel cloth, and with dry cloth rub dry as pos
sible. Woolen goods may be made to look bright
and fresh sponged with this.

Incubators.-Here is something for those of

discovered that eggs which happen to become

purposes, by simply pasting tissue paper over

Sowing Grain.-An experienced agriculturist
in discussing the question of sowing grain says :
"We sow our grain too thick, just as we set our
trees and shrubs and plant our corn too close.
With land made mellow and level, and the seed
distributed evenly and properly covered, half the
quantity now used in great abundance. The drill
is convincing proof of this. Here is the all-im-
portant condition of uniform covering present,
and when all the seed grows, light seeding is ne
csssary, if the seed is sound and undamaged.-
Moro attention to the seed is therefore called for
and in securing this, greater cleanness will follow
Our grain will eventually all be drilled in, thus
hssening the seed to about one-half. Even this
will be reduced for too thick with the drill
Where the land is well prepared as it should be,
and the seed is all sound, broadcasting will admit
Of reduction of nearly one half, and the crop
will be better. There will be larger straw,
larger and fuller head and less disposition to lodge
More labor should be bestowed upon the seed bed,
which enriches it, well improves it otherwise,
and less seed sown, passing it through the fan
ming mill with full wind on, the light or i'm
perfect seeds make feeble growth"

Stock Ra1Sing.-The Westminster AdUocdte,
says "How 70 farm with greater profit is a con-
sideration worthy the attention of every farmer.
Said farmer, few days since, the farmers of
Carroll county ought to raise more horses and feed
more CATTLE Thousands of dollars are annually
spent for horses and mules in Virginia, West
Virginia Sj5g and Sy Sfadg EhGh
Feeding cattle is moro profitable than selling
grain. Cattle are high and grain is low. The
grain produced on farm, if fed to stock, is re-
turned to the soil and keeps the farm in a pro-
ductive condition. If sold, at the present low
prices, it improverishes the farm and the farmer
too If fed and sold in the form of beef, it brings
the farmer more money, and fertilizes his farm
besides. Our most successful farmers are those
who feed the greatest number of CATTLE"
Deadly Enemy of Fruit Trees.-This is
the period when nurserymen and vine dressers
ought to look out for the enemy which ravage
their trees and vines Casual examination of ftrees
and vines, now that they are stripped of their
foliage, will reveal hanging to limbs and branches
long pods containing the eggs of the caterpillar,
which, without any trouble, can be cut off and
destroyed. Entire orchards can bepreserved from
this pestiferous insect by the simple process of
pruning few branches and limbs. We commend
this examination to horticulturists and florists
important.

THE WEATHER,

Sergeant Bsrwick reports as follows: 1t
will be noticed, by referring to the rain table
published last New Years in the RECORD.
UNION, that the years the floods occurred in
were those giving upward Of 80 inches of rain
for those seasons. 1t also seems to be good
evidence of the shoaling Of the rivers. The
food of 1862 is said to be the one that en-
tailed the most loss. That season gave 81. Sc
inches, while the season of 1852 8 gave SO SO
inches that was also ore of floods. The next
after 1862 was the great food of 1867 s.
More damage was reported than in 1862
while the seasonal rainfall was only 80 70
inchss nearly inches less than the fl BOD
year of 1862. The next food, ard the one
that caused the river to mark on the gauge
the highest ever recorded, was 1880 l. while
the seasons rainfall was but 26 81 inches, OF
over 6 inches less than the great food of
1868. Reasoning from the above data, high
water might be expected when the seasons
rainfall was few inches above 20. That is
good evidence that the levees should be raised
or strengthened each and every year to keep
pace with the filling capacity of the sluggish
streams during the low.water periods.
The rainfall at Sacramento up TO P. NJ.
last night for this storm was l "a inches, and
greater than this time last year. The
rainfall to an equal date of past seasons

heavily, but only enough to cover the earth
for short time. The farmers among our
foothills feel jubilsnt, as their crops are as

of last years fruit crop, as during the past
