SeIf-Sucking Cows.

Since the issue of our previous press
bulletin. on this subject. several COM
mnicatiOns have been received and
two remedies proposed which our cor
respondents are sure has proven eff
ticient in curing the habit, in at least
ore case for the quassia method and
several for the slitted tongue.
Boil d handful of quassia chips (can
be found at any drug stOre) for several
hours in about one gallon of water
Wash the cows teats in this after every
milking for ten days. Always wash
every time before milking. using a
gallon of clean water in which spoon
full of pearline has been dissolved. If
the milk tastes of cuassia feed it to the
pigs. The bitterness Of the quassia re-
mains in the cows memory and prevents
further trials at sucking after the ten
days.
The other method consists; in Sitting
the tongue near the point used to draw
up round the teat in the act of sucking.
FaSten the COW securely, and drawing
ont the tongue slit it little to one side
Of the middle = to 2 inches out to-
wards the front and near the point.
Then feed on soft bran mashes for a few
days until the wound heals and it will
he impossible for the COW to suck after
that. One correspondent tried chair
frames and side bars until tired out and
desperate. when the mutilated tongue
cured the ha bit.
Still we should spend little time on
any COW we do not know to be good
one. The time can be better employed.

The people were busy putting out
their young rice plants, and the fields
were full of men and women, wearing
their "kasa' and straw coats, oiled pa
per. rush mats. or other coutrivances TO
keep off the rain, aud working in mud
ana water halfway up 10 their knees.
Il is surely the dirtiest and most labor
ious form Of agriculture; the work is
almost entirely done by manual labor
with a spade and a heavy four-pronged
rake. though | occasionally saw a cow
or a pony, with . little matched root on
its back to shoot of the rain, dragging
a sort of harrow through the mud. As
soou as the spring crop of barley or
rape-seed is garnered and hung up to
dry, the ground is trenched with the
spade, and water is turned oyer it until
it has become a soft slush, which is
worked level with the rake.
The young rice plants, grown thick
together in nursery patches, are pulled
up when the fields are ready for plant
ing, their roots are washed and they
are tied in bundles, which are thrown
into the mud aud water; then the men
and women wade in, unite a bundle,
and set the seedlings in lines by just
pressing them with their fingers into
the mud. They do this wonderfully
quickly, and car plant eight OF nine in
a row without moving from their places;
when the field is all planted it looks
like a pond with II delicate green haze
over it. The dividing banks are plant
ed with beans or other vegetables, so
that not a yard of ground is wasted.
This was the 18th OF June, the damp,
clammy heat of the dew month just
beginning a period very encouraging
TO all vegetation, but full of ~discomforts
for the traveller, and especially for the
landscape-painter.

friends during the past few months,
expressed himself as anxious TO return
TO private life and said that the drudg-
cry and responsibilities Of the position
were wearing on him. His private law
practice is said to be worth from SOS, 900
TO $40. 0G0 and would be greatly in
creased IL he were free from official
troubles. 1t is said Dir. Olney, when
he accepted the Office Of attorney gen
eral, which he did with reluctance,
made it conditional hat he might re-
sign before the expiration OF his term
IL he found the duties distasteful. That
time il is said is near at hand. Mr..
Oiuey's relations with the president
are Of the closest character and
his intimate friends believe he has re-
NAMED In the cabinet thus far at the
presidents solicitation. II Attorney
General Olney tenders his resignation,
