Bablot and oat® grown together, one jrashel of the former to two of the latter er acre, make a good forage crop, for ittle and horses. ,Jj Beginners at sheep-raising should oon- • -^fent themselves witn a small flock at ~ HRrst The increase is rapid and fully _iml to the growth of knowledge of reeding, feeding and making profitable. n advice will apply to other business raising sheep. Farmbbs need a breed of fast-walking orses, both for their own use and for le. A slow-walking horse is a nui- ianoe, whether plowing, harrowing, or ' on the farm, or for cart, truck, •y, saddle, or carriage use in the city, refill BAW>tion to tills feature would ; J»ftv better in the long run than breeding fpr trotters. * •, As a green food for cattle, corn sown • broadcast is coming into general use. Clover has been a pretty sure stand-by for many years. Rye, which comes early When sown in the fall, is also recom­ mended in some quarters, but it is quite inferior to either of the others. The 48orn can be ready for feeding in August, %hen pasturage is frequently dried up, *if§r it can be cut for fodder and cured for ,' %inter. / Tite Providence Journal says: "Every should regard his orchard as entire his own, and the gunner who tres- s upon 'it a poacher amenable to e law. It does not seem that there are half as many birds as there were fifty years ago, and the insects have increased ill greater proportion. Birds soon find out where they are safe, as do the wild •ducks who visit the cove, and if shot a desert the farms. Their office of des­ troying the insects is one of very great importance to the farmer and fruit grow­ er." Cuke for Foot-rot.--Take strong new lime (if unslaoked the better) ; put it in a box or trough with sides six or eight inches high; put in water to make it like very thin paste, so that it will be about two inches deep in the box; place the box so that you can drive the sheep through it, and drive them through it several times during the day of fixing the lime. Repeat this two or three times, at intex-vals of about two weeks each, and it will cure the foot-rot. Hen Manure.--A correspondent of dolman's Rural World says that he saw an onion bed remarkable for the size and luxuriance of the plants. On inquir­ ing, the cause he found that the soil had been enriched with hen manure. On the aame farm he had seen results similarly beneficial when the manure had been applied to corn, by mixing it with the soil of the hill, and then planting the oorn. For gardens this manure is ex­ cellent, especially when plaster or ashes is mixed with it. Horse Colimus.--The 1 alley Farmer says collars are, or should be, so made as to throw the chief force on the lower part of the shoulder. The horse can ap­ ply but little strength on the upper part, and for this reason breast collars are coming greatly into vogue, as the strength is exerted on the lower part of the shoul­ der. The collar should be purchased of the proper size. Just before putting it an the first time, immerse it in water, letting it remain about a minute, and im­ mediately put it on to work. The col­ lar, by being wet, will adapt itself to the shoulder, and should dry on the horse. When taken off, it should be left in the same shape it occupied oif the horse, and ever after you will have a snug-fitting collar and no wounds. Asparagus.--JS early everybody en­ joys this early vegetable, but how few have it in abundance. It is an easy thing to get and requires less' care than any other garden esculent. A packet of seed costing 10 cents sown this spring •will make plants enough for a large bed, ami next season they should be planted in place. The ground for an asparagus bea should be made peculiarly deep and rich. Our plan is to put the plants in rows a foot apart and at a distance of eight inches in the row. Every fourth row skip one, leaving an alley in which to walk. A bed once made will last a decade and requires only, a coating of rotted manure each year to keep it ih ex­ cellent condition. Sheep Raising.--This branch of busi­ ness, like almost every other, has had ite ups and downs, but it is a question whether any business has paid better for a series of years. The rapid increase of sheep is very favorable to farmers of small means who wish to engage in wool- growing. Sheep raising is too muoh neglected in the West. The animal that furnishes clothing, food and light, which eats what other animals reject, which crops hillsides too steep for other creat­ ures to asoeiid, is entitled to vastly more credit than it receives. About the House. Strawberry Salad.--Pick, wash, drain and toss crisp, tender letkuoe leaves, fljhred them up fine in the salad bowl, and .pour over them some strawberry juice, and serve at once. Nutritious Composition.--Take equal •quantities ot sago and cocoa, mix them, Bait a table-spoonful in a pint of boiling water, and boil the whole together for a few minutes with constant stirring. Regularity.--It is not only necessary Hiat our diet should be wholesome, but also that it should be taken at regular periods. Some persons imagine that long fasting will atone for excess, but it is not so; it generally makes matters worse. To "Ma**: Exoeuubnt Mixce-Mxat.-- Take a pound of lean beef and boil it one hour; then chop it as fine as possi­ ble ; suet, raisins, currants and apples, one pound each ; two ounces of candied «itron ; a quarter of a pound of almonds. Chop each separately until you cannot distinguish what they are ; then mix the Whole well and add one pound of sugar and a gill of brandy. ,«"* • Strawbebby Gem Tarts.--Make large- sized gems in the usual manner from fine Graham flour, being careful not to bake them too hard. When done let them • stand ten or fifteen minutes to steam, then split open and fill each half with Strawberries with or without sugar, add a spoonful of strawberry juice sweet­ ened, if it will hold so much, and serve at once. Salerattts.--There can be no doubt that the free use of saleratus, so much consumed in bread, is excessively inju­ rious to the human system. It is par- ticularly liable to induce muscular pros­ tration orjm-alysis, and is sure to injure the digestive organs. Of course it is most fatal to children, whose delicate organization is more sensitive than that of grown persons. How to Shapk Roij&--Roll out the dough when quite light, and out with a good-sized cutter or tumbler. Dip a clean feather into melted butter and brush lightly over the dough that is cut out; then fold each circle into a crescent or half-moon shape; prick on the top, and place in the flat biscuit pan to rise. When very light bake full' twenty min­ utes in an oven so hot that one could not hold the hand in it long enoi^gh to oount more twenty without great discom­ fort. Game of all kinds, birds, rabbits or dear, e&u be kept sweet a long time by finely pulverized charcoal in a thin muslin bag placed inside the game. Change the charcoal every day, and wash the meat clean before cooking. Pare a fresh lemon very carefully, without breaking the thin, white inside skin, put it inside a wild duck and keep it there for iorty- eight hours, and all the fishy taste so disagreeable in wild fowls will be re­ moved. The lemon should be removed and a fresh one put in its place as often as every twelve hours.--Mrs. II. W. Beecher, in Christian Union. ' Expuxsion op Flies.---We copy the following from the London Garden: The Eev. George M cures Drought, writ­ ing from Ireland to to the Times, says : " For three years I have lived in a town, and during that time my sitting-room has been free from flies, three or four only walking about my breakfast-table, while all my neighbors' rooms were crowded. I often congratulated myself on my escape, but never knew the rea­ son of it until two days ago. I then had occasion to move my goods to another house, while I remained on for two days longer. Among other things moved were two boxes of geraniums and calceo­ larias, which stood in my window, the windows being open to full extent, top and bottom. The boxes were not gone half an hour before my room was as full of flies as those around me. This, to me, is a new disoovery, and perhaps it may serve to encourage others in that which is always a source of pleasure, and which now proves also to be a source of com­ fort, viz., window gardening."

Poor Carlotta Agaia. The Empress Carlotta of Mexico has not improved in mental health. Since the death of her favorite medical attend­ ant, who had managed to secure her con­ fidence, the unfortunate princess has appeared gloomy. The cessation of his visits caused her great irritation, and she has now become violent. The doc­ tor at Gheel was the only person to whom she would speak. She evidently misses his visits without having a proper sense of the fact, for she never asks about him nor demands that he should be sent for, but the want is manifested by an increase of irritation. The visits of the Queen of the Belgians do not calm the nervous excitement of the Em­ press, and the King never shows himself when he visits the Chateau of Tervueren. From the apartments of the Empress he can, without being observed, see her, and lament without restraint her sad condition. Setting aside her mental malady, the widow of the unfortunate Emperor Maximilian is physically well. A Singular Crime. One William Smith, of Brooklyn, be­ coming tired of married restraints, con­ ceived the idea of putting an end to his wife by a process as fertile in ingenuity as it was diabolical in cruelty. He fastened her to the top of her cook-stove by ropes passing underneath and connecting her hands and feet. Then he built up a rousing fire of ooal, and left her to her fate. The stove was one of those which are the pet aversion of house-wives in general, and Mrs. Smith in particular. She had often and again poured out upon it the vials of her wrath, because it would persist, despite all precautions to the contrary, in burning the bread on the bottom without baking it on the top. But it is to this much-abused peculiarity «that Mrs. Smith owes her life. Doubt­ less the stove very soon became uncom­ fortably warm all over, but it grew red hot at the bottom, and, after severely burning one oi' her arms, burned in two the ropes, and permitted her to escape without any mortal injuries. Tree Felling. The latest chemical notion is to fell trees by electricity. The two ends of the copper wires of a galvanic battery are connected with a platinum wire, which, of course, instantly becomes red-hot, and while so is gently see-sawed across the trunk of the tree to be felled, until it burns its way through. It is calculat­ ed that a tree which would require two hours' hard chopping to bring down can be cut through by this process in fifteen minutes. AN EDITOB ASSAULTED. HItm Two Mercenaries u tacks a Philadelphia Editor -- PnsMa- almlty ot the Attacking Party. [Froiu Uic Philadelphia Time#.] Philadelphia was thrown into a spasm of excitement this morning by an assault upon CoL Alex. McOlure, editor of the ^ imes, by Nat McKay, whom the 7%me& has repeatedly denounoed as a plunder--: ing naval contractor. The assault took place on Chestnut street in the middle of the day, when that thoroughfare was thronged with people. CJoL McOlure was walking along with ex-Gov. Curtin, entirely without apprehension of danger. Neither of them noticed the stalwart form of McKay until he had come square up alongside of Col. McClure. His face flushed and paled as he said, with some profanity: " I will settle with you now, myself." As he spoke he drew from his breast a small plaited leather whip, and drew it to strike CoL McClure, but his awkwardness and cowardice so unnerved him, even with two hired ruffians at his heels, that, before he could bring his whip down, CoL McClure sprang upon him, seized him firmly by the throat with both hands, and held him as if in a vise. McKay gagged and struggled to extricate himself, but in a few seconds it was manifest that he was entirely help­ less, and that he must speedily fall at the mercy of the man he had assailed. AH this was the work almost of an in­ stant, and tho two hired "pals " of Mc­ Kay at once rushed in upon CoL McClure, and, in less time than it could be told, one who gives his name at the magistrate's as John Conlan struck Mc­ Clure a strong blow on the back of the head and followed itrwitli another on the left ear. A passing citizet seized the fellow called Conlan and held him from further blows. Wliile Conlan was striking CoL Mc0ure from behind an­ other "pal" of McKay rushed upon CoL McClure in front and struck him over the left eye with some instrument, probably a blackjack, and was about to repeat the blow when he was thrown back _l>y ex-Gov. Curtin, and in the crowd he made liia escape without being identified by any one present In the meantime CoL McClure held McKay by the throat until he was released by the interference of the crowd and the officers. McKay and the so-called Conlan were, taken in custody by the police, who asked CoL McClure what lie wanted done with them. He answered that the hired ruffians should be held, but that he could settle the matter with McKay. It is evident that McKay had worked his courage up to an attempt to horse­ whip McClure, believing that, as he was much the more rugged of the two, he could master Col. McClure and degrade him by at public whipping, but, consult­ ing his fears, he employed two ruffians to aid him in case he should fail, and thus save himself from getting dogged instead of flogging the hated editor, His one attendant, who gives his name as'Conlan, is a New York rough, with his profes­ sional card covering his whole face. He was unnoticed in the affair until he sneaked up behind CoL McClure and struck two rapid blows on the back of the head and ear. It is evident, also, that thieving was one of the purposes of McKay's "pals," as ex-Gov. Curtin's watch-ohain was torn from him and CoL McClure's was torn off also, and neither of them had been in a position to have their chains taken by accident, and the fact that neither of their chains were found proves that they were taken by the thieves. Both saved their watches by the neck-chains breaking a few links from the stem. The Causes of Tiolent Death. The violent deaths in Great Britain in 1874 were no less than 17,920, the highest number ever registered. There were 18 executions and 1,592 suicides, so that 16,31C may be classed as unexpected. Railways lolled 1,249, horse conveyances 1,313, and it is noted that those modes of conveyance which are mostly peculiar to cities were not responsible for this great slaughter. Street, or so-called horse railroads, killed 62 persons, omni­ buses 55, cabs 61, and carriages 82, and these numbers show how great is the skill and care exercised in the crowded streets of cities. The source of the re­ maining 1,053 deaths by horses is not given in our authority (a Scotch paper), but it is probable that exercise in the saddle had much to do with them. There were 942 deaths in coal mines, and 118 in copper, tin, iron and other mines. Lightning killed 25, sunstroke 90, and cold 114. There were 461 persons poi­ soned, about one-third being suicides. The bite of. a fox, of a rat, of a leech, the scratch of a cat, and the sting of a hornet each killed one person, and two were stung to death by wasps. Of other noteworthy causes of death, it is men­ tioned that a girl 14 years old died in childbed.--Galcuxy for May: Habits of Ants. In a recent lecture (one of a series) en the habits of ants, the scientific English banker, Sir John Lubbock, said that even after a year's separation ants recog­ nize each other, and old companions are amicably received, whereas strangers, even when introduced in the mixed com­ pany of old friends, have a bad time. Slavery in certain kinds is a positive in­ stitution, the Amazon breed having slaves to clean and feed them. Rather than be at the trouble to do so them­ selves they will die, though food be close by. They allow a cUrious, blind wood- louse house-room, but as a kind of scav­ enger, and not from hospitable motives. . Milk as Food. Chemical analysis discloses the fact that among the many articles used for food there are only two, wheat and milk, which contain all the elements of the human body, and in the proper propor­ tion. Other articles, such as butter, sugar, sirup, and fat of all kinds, are wholly carbonaceous, or heat-producing, so that, if a human being were to attempt to live on these articles alone, his brain and muscles would starve. By actual experiment it has been found that a man could not survive two months on such a diet The new Jury law of Florida provides that when in any case, civil or criminal, a knowledge of reading, writing and arithmetic is necessary to enable a juror to understand the evidence to be offered, he may be challenged if he does not pos­ sess such qualifications.
