AGRICBLTUBAL. A Curious Heiser-Ms. John Stoker, near Oakland Mills, Nicholas county, Ky, has a three-year eld ‘virgin heifer that is giving two gallons of milk per day. The calf was raised in the yard, and was brought up to milk by being continually fondled by the children, at first giving but a small quantity, which gradually increased till she now gives three gallons per day. Should all animals except the cow die, the loss could be borne. Should she alone die, you would have mourning. She should be treated as tenderly as one’s wife. Keep her clean, feed her well and. respect her. Think of a cow standing all night in a fence-cor-ner, and her back covered with ice and snow. The‘Maine Farmer” thinks that the practice of feeding poultry with shelled corn is not a good one, and recommends that the 'cob be broken into short pieces and thus be placed before the fowls and nibbled off as they want it. This is regarded as a healthful exercise, especially in winter, for the fowls, and hence beneficial.

Flies on Sheep—There are two species of flies which also cause sheep much annoyance, and frequently lead to unfortunate results: by smearing with .coarse whale oil, after shearing the sheep will remain unmolested and the application promote the growth of wool. A Mixture —of three parts fine charcoal, twe parts bone meal, and one part plaster(gypsum), applied in quantity of about two to four quarts to the roots of a tree or vine when planting, have been found to fully repay the cost in increased vigor and growth during the season. Ringing Hogs—A correspond, ent us the Country Gentleman uses rings made by a blacksmith . in ringing hogs to prevent their rooting. The rings are 1| orl| inches in diameter. Rings of annealed wire are thought to be the best by many farmers. • Hog Cholera—A Vermillion county, 111, farmer, whosd hogs have had the cholera, says he saved them by feeding 3 parts wood ashes, 2parts salt, parts copperas, H parts pulverized sulphur, mixed with wheat bran once a week. The Best Watermelon—Mr. J. R. Comstock writes that he has been growing watermelons vearlv for fifteen years, having during that time tried many varieties, but that one called the Strawberry” he has always found “best.”

Those who keep their buggies , aud carriages in good order [ should place a wrench on every nut at least once a month. This I will save nutsand bolts, and prevent rattiing and wear and tear. Clean up strawberry beds be- * fore they commence flowering, t After that time leave them alone as alight brush or touch When J in flower, will often destroy im- , pregnation. and of course the!’ fruit. ) A Ready Resort..—A Con nccticut man says his way of J driving rats from his premises is to catch one, dip it in red paint except the head, and let it go again. He finds this plan effect- I ual.. Large Price—Mr. Caleb Mar- * tine, of Westchester county, New York, sold a pair of oxen that weighed 6,000 pounds for $750, one of the finest pair ever fatted in the country. Insects will not be so destructive in an orchard well cultivated as in one that is left in grass. Rats,. on an average, weigh.' three to a pound, and each pound) Represents five bushels of corn. ■
