A oorrespendent of the Country Gentleman says: “ I hold that the intelligent farmer, who has lived for years on his farm and knows its soil and capabilities. and who has settled on a plan of farming which is suc- cessful, is more likely to know what is best for him to do than some one who has lived on a different soil and surrounded by differ- ent circumstances.” No man should milk a 03w until tlre stable has been cleaned, the cows well card ed and brushed. and, if necessary wiped oil“ with a Wet cloth and dried and everything that could saibly foul‘tho milk is removed.

A successful poultry-raiser feeds wheat in the morning. barley at noon, and wheat in the evening. In addition to the barley he ives the slops from the kitchen, after boil- fng it. The wheat gives a rich yellow color to the )elks, which is so much desired in the city. where eggs are sold in retail mar- kets. He says one great mistake many chicken-raises make is in feeding chickens too much, and this accounts for their becom. ing diseased. It 19 well to repeat that a box kept well an pplied with ashes in which charcoal is found should be within reach of hogs all the time at this season of the year. Like all fines feeders they are apt to be troubled wit acidity of they stomach, and the coal and ashes correct this. The fruibgrower who sorta and barrels with care can afford to tint or stamp his name on every barrel, an even to adopt a. trade mark, and if his sortin be honestly made, and his barrelling ski ully done, his name will go far to sell the fruit at top prices1 Hen Stewart thinks there is no reason wh a ermer should not wmbine deirying and" beef raisingâ€"keeping good native cows, crossing them with a good Shorthorn bull, raising the heifer calves for cows and the male calves for beef.

Perhaps the most elaborate and costly inkstand in the country is the one now in the pouession of Robert T.

It seems that one of the delegates from Arizona, in Con ress in )865. had bezome so fond of President Lincoln that he wished to give him some memento of his friendship.

Philip the III. was gravely seated by the fireside ; the firemaker of the court had kindled so great a quantity of wood that the monarch was nearly suffocated with heat, and his grandeur would not suffer h:m to rise from the chair; the domestics could not presume to enter the apartment because it was against the etiquette.

The duke was out; the fire burned fiercer ; and the king endured it rather than derogate from his dignity. But his blood was heated to such a decree that erysipelas of the head appeared the n°xt day. which succeeded by a violent fever, carried him off in 1621, in the. twenty~fourth year of his reign.
