ea rily hoi FiisL ~ Playmates of Time! Ve early hours How oft your simple sports return! From manhood’s furrows ’ spring the flowers, And memory wreathes the mournful urn. Voices of joy and looks of gladness, Gone with thy birds your morning kne wl Those airs will cool our fevered sadness, Ombheart yet drcam those 'scenes to view! World! in the pomp, thy varied pleasure Thou canst not soothe to careless rest. Pride! in to thy glowing. fickle measure, Thou canst not lead toguileless breast! The lettered lore, Anfbitfoti's dreaming, Is spirit struggling with the day; Though bright th? eye of Fame is beaming, Too many a tear has dimmed its ray! Years unrecalled save sorrow's season— its guards thfe world appears! A mocking spectre to our reason! Whose arm has palsied future yettrtt! W. 11. S.

garm & gwna’itdil Lice x>n Animals.—These parasites are the consequences natural to the states of filth and debility. Insects, which have been mistaken ‘ for lice, sometimes infest large stables, and almost drive the horses frantic, with the itching they provoke. Application after application, intended to destroy lice, is made use of. Every recognized source of contagion is exterminated. Internal as well as external medicipe is resorted to, bu,t every endeavor to remove the annoyance signally fails.. The horses are fat, and fed upon the best, yet they seem to breed the parasites peculiar to the opposite condition. At last some one points to the hen . roost which leans against the sta- _ ble. That building is pulled down, and with it the muisance disappears. It may to the reader appear strange, that the aplication which killed lice did not destroy the insects driven from the fowls. Thjoserparasites, which. were, upon the horse, doubtless perished ; but the dressing being oft’, the pests came again and again, being sup- ( plied by the source of all the ‘ mischief.

Insects breathe through the skin. On that account, a hornet is more readily destroyed by droping a little oil upon .'the exterior surface, than bv immersing the head in py*rocyanie acid. All therefore, requiste for the removal of lice, is smearing the. entire body with any cheap oil or grease. ( But when the skin is washed: the business is not ended. Generally, the' horse troubled with lice, is hide-bound, an I may have various other affections, derived fro*m .the debility that generates the parasite. 1 Ti.rrNDt'.K Straw—ln ir. -t month's‘Basket,’ paper 4G, we gave the experience of “Hoosier,"’ which was not in favor of planting potatoes under straw.

Corn in Drills. —Au cxperienc-1 e l farmer writes that last year he ; exparinpented in raising corn by I different nietjidds. He planted ten acres with a drill. It was manured "broadcast with well rbttgd 8t“i l ie manure, at the rate us ten twohorse wagon loads per rcre. To prove which would be the most profitable, he planted two strips, inalilferent partsof the field, of sixrows each,, in hills—all had the ssme cultivation, except the corn , lin b.illsjvasjiped. The r< st of tl.e , Heid never was hoed, but kept ; clean with a two horse cultivator. The corn that was drjljed yielded one-eighth more than that which Vwus not.
