means of demurrers and pleas Of abatement
All these things will enable Maxwell to put of
his trial for more than twelve months.

farmers can prohtably feed under or
binary circumstances, II the colt gets
too much grain or concentrated food
during the first winter its stomach
will not be properly distended, and
when turned to grass in the spring it
cannot eat enough to keep it in a
thrifty condition, hence its growth is
checked at a period when it is impor-
tant that it should be increased. The
feed of colts suffer much more for the
lack of care in keeping them properly
shaped by the aid of a rasp than from
excessive feeding of grain. The feet
of every colt should DO examined and
trimmed at least once q month, so as
to keep all the toes properly shortened
thus preventing undue strain to the
tendons, which in time is liable to re-
suit in serious lameness. The bottoms
of the feet should also be rasped, so as
to be kept perfectly level. 1t requires
some knowledge of the anatomy
of the foot to do this prop
erly, yet every farmer by examin-
ing can see when one side of the foot
is becoming twisted out of shape, and
by exercising little ingenuity can,
with few properly applied strokes Of
the rasp, prevent defects, which, If not
arrested, are sure to detract from the
value of the animal when ready for
the market. Most country colts suffer
more for the want of comfortable
bed at night than from lack of feed.

Two Prcventatives For Cut Worms.
Cut worms are formidable enemies
to the farm crops, especially to grasses
and grains. Few corn fields are
exempt from these pests, which also
delight to feed on the tender young
plants of cabbage, turnips, onions and
tobacco. The secret manner in which
cut-worms prosecute this work under
cover of darkness, and often beneath
the surface of the ground, rarely per-
mits them to be detected in their
operations. DIR. j. "A. Litner thinks
that more has been charged upon cut
worms than properly belongs to them.
Roots are eaten, and young blades and
shoots are cut off, and the unknown
depredator is pronounced cut-worm,
when often the depreciation proceeds
from the white grub or one of its
many allied forms. or from some spec
les of the wire-worm.
Cut-worms are caterpillars of moths
that belong to the great family of
notidI, which embraces large pro-
portion of the night-Aying species Of
lepidopstera. DR.. Lintner, in paper
read before the New York State Agri-
cultural Society, described the typical
cut-worm SO AS to aid in its Identified
ton. When full grown they measure
from one and quarter to nearly two
inches in length; they are sixteen
footed (three pairs of true legs and five
pairs of prop-legs), thick, tapering
moderately at the eXtremities, naked
and greasy looking. In color they are
dingy brown, gray or greenish, with
indistinct, light and dark longitudinal
markings. The head is large, shining
and usually red or brown. When the
caterpillar is taken from the ground,
or otherwise disturbed, it curls itself
into a ring.
Cut-worms have many natural enc
mics, among which are the robin, cat
bird and red-winged blackbird
Chickens are very efficient destroyers
of cut-worms in gardens. Among the
numerous representatives. used, DE-
Lintner specially commends the salt
and copperas remedies. The salt
remedy is applied directly after the
corn is planted by sprinkling on the
hill over the covered grains about one
teaspoonful of common salt to each
hill. When copperas is used the plar
is as follows: Put the seed corn in {
tight tub or barrel and pour in enough
water to keep it well covered after il
swells. For each bushel of corn ado
a pound or pound and half of copper
as dissolved in hot water. Stir tn,
corn well and allow it to remain in thu
copperas water for about twenty hours
Stir several times while soaking, then
take it out and sprinkle small guam
tity of land plaster over it.--Neu

LITERARY NOTES.
THE CHRISTMAS QUARTERLY.
eIIce


The original story with which the winter
number of ''Strawbridge & Clothier's Quar-
terly opens is from the pen of Julian Haw-
throne It is a weird narrative, the scene of
which is laid in Egypt; and it is appropri-
aetly illustrated by F. E. Lummis. Ar artis-
tic fashion-plate frontispiece furnishes the
style material and color for three dresses, de
signed by Janet of Paris. Fashion is illus
trated and discussed through a number of
pages. Instructions for home dressmaking
are given as we'll as the making of crochet
dresses for children. Home art is represented
by articles on crewell painting, modelling of
raised flowers, cone and shell work, paint
ing on gold paper, and cork mosaic; also, an
imitation of Smyrna rug by means of that
very simple and ingenious contrivance the
parlor loom. The useful dictionary of
stitches is completed in this issue. There
is a seasonable article on childrens parties
with many illustrations of fsuitable costumes,
and directions given for making them. The
indefatigable Johns Wife tells how she
made money at home by raising ducks. In
ADDITION TO lhe foregoing, there is given pat
tern-sheet supplement containing diagrams
for making four articles of dress A useful
part Of the magazine is the concluding eighty
pages, which are devoted to the illustrating,
describing, and pricing of the bewildering
variety of dry goods in which housekeepers
and others are interested. This method of
supplies will be invaluable to
those who cannot travel miles to buy the
