AGRICULTURAL. TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE TO FAUM AND GARDEN. ' Manasing a Cross Bull. V A bull may be b ndfo.d d so that be tan see to feed, but is u able to pursue r attack pcrsjns in this manner: A piece of thin sole leather is cut into proper form and fitted with two straps, jne to go around the horns and the other to 'fasten under the throat. This isbJeld te cut long enough to reach the middle )f the face and be curved enougd to permit the animal to see the ground. , This may bi worn at all times, as St will aot interfere with his usefulness n any respect. A savage bull is effectively tamed by removing the horns near to the ikull. It is not a serious operation; the horns arc .pimply suwed ell and the stump covered with a pitch plaster until' they heal. rl hey are to be cut cjose to the head. 2?eio York Times. :. It will surprise old poultry growers to learn that the common hawk is regarded as a valuable bird. lie destroys ltO field mice for every chicken, and if there be a fair amouut of sh; ubbery around the henyard very few chickens will be lost from his depredations. A hen a tree is to be transplanted never leave mnre branches than are wanted for mains, four-or five at most ; never grow a mass of unnecessary limbs to be crowd ing, which must be cut out afterward, much to the injury of the tree; remove them from the head at first. r - Gcod tillage is the strongest weapon with which the farmer can fight huid times and gain success. Imperfect cul ture on the other hand, will scarcely en able him to gain a living from the rich est soil, and the soil will deteriorate rap idly in duality from such treatment esides. .' AY hen wheat is sown on.verv dry soil he condition may be greatly improved by thoroughly harrowing the field, which will biinir the seed in close contact with earth reduc.d to the finest tilth, fitted to receive and condense atmospheric vapor until the requisite moisture for germina tion is obtained.. , It has been repeatedly shown that the amount of butter that can be obtained from m'dk by any of the ordinary pro cesses is no guide to the amount of fat that may be .in the milk. Hence to as sume that a poor butter cow may not be a good cheese cow, or that she neces 4arilv ?ives noor milk, is a ?roSs error. .-.mi- . -J ci i -7 a nearlv as Ionir aain to put the same ru i ,t, lat on a hoar in coldiwinter , -r. . Ti,0 Mr. Duuder's Recipe. The l'ecdinr of Swine ! Those who do not believe. in feeding iwine fully up to the power of digestion, during the mild weather of autumn, would do well to try the expe.imnt and iatfsy themselves of its economy. Even if the swine. arc to be fed through the winter for the spring market there is no less economy in this plan. ; It will take amount of fat'on a hog weather as it will when the weather is mild. , If the hog -s. are to be killed about Thanksgiving time -the strong feeding ho ild nave been commenced a soon as ;s the :v td e ot beptember. or as scon the corn is fairly hard, since it tvjII take about sixty days to comfortably finish awine afte.' they fairly commence! thriv-. log on grain. In fact for early Jkilliug the hogs should have had new porn as Boon as it got 1 airly out ot the milk,$t lks , with the co n. and "be inured gradually J to it, so that fu i feeding may commence as soon as the corn may get fairly hard. ' It is a mist iken idea that new ( corn is not fit to ;. feed to hogmd yejt many persons are impressed with this idea, they perh a is know not why. All there is about it is that c rn while gre i must be fed carefully at fir t. until thcnimalj get used to it.j Then they will pot eat sufficient to cause colic and otherlgaseous . disturbances. The profit in feejling all land is early in spring. The quantity should vary with the needs of the soil, and this can be determined only, by ex perience, some spoils requiring much less than others according to their composi tion; but the usual amount is twenty to fifty' bushels per acre. Occasionally much larger applications have been found useful. It is best to try different quan tities in different parts of the same field, and measure the result on the crops. Manure-water is easily made. A sunken hogshead in the barnyard, cov ered wr it ha lot of white oak saplings, four or rive inches through, will fill up with the' first ra'n and be strong enough to make crops laugh over an acre or more of land if mixed with plenty of water The application should not be stronger than one-fourth manure-water t three parts water, titrate of soda may be Yery effectively applied in this pound to ten alIons ol '"Well, what's the matter this time Yy queried Seryt.

I The New York correspondent of the Philadelphia Record writes :' "Forty years ago there were not a score of foreignors Jiving in the Tenth Ward, where now not more than a score of Americans of the old stock can be found.

"Well, youns mau, you surely have a good ' bit of a-s.iran o to ask a man to give his bus iness away to the public; bat I won't disap point you. I have feated over 2i),HJ0 pa tients.

It was then aj parent that no cure could be effected until those organs could rest re 1 to health. ' We recently oxhaustei the entire range of medical science, experi menting with a'l known reir.el es f or thesa organs, and as the result of these clso inves tigations we all substantially agreed, though following different lines of in miry, that the most reliable, scientihc prepa ration, was Warner's safe cure. This was lha second point in the discovery. Tae third was our own private form of treat ment; which, of course, we do not divul -j to the public. Every case that we have treated first with Warner's s ife cure, then with our own private treatment, and folio wed up again with -Warner's safe cure for a few weeks, has been successful. These habits ran't be cured without using it. because tha habit is nourished and sustained in the liver and kidneys. The kabit can be kept up in moderation, however, if free ue be also made, at the same time, of that great remedy." "Yes, it is a world famed and justly cele brated specific !
