I then took a cord or 6lrinir. and run through the holes in the ears together close enough to keep them from working their ears; I then let them out and they are as quiet as any Planting Potatoes. Instead of plant ing whole potatoes, large or small, it Ls better to use good-ized seed, cut to two eyes, and plant one in a hill More seed will make a superabundance of tops, and many small potatoes. In preparing the land, if should Ihj plowed rather deep in the spring, and harrowed as level as jws-eiblc, then mark it out about three feet apart rows one way with a plow, mak- ing the furrows four to eix inches deep. uiv me eu, one piece iiu iwo eyes, from twelve to fifteen inches apart, in the rows, and cover with a light plow, four to fix.

Inches leep. Cultivate clean, and apply plaster andashes; let not a weed firow. Dig with a horse potato dieser. set them under old hens (they are the best with young chickens), do not let other hens get on the same nest with scttinr ones; when the young rhicJis arc hatched, take them and the old bird nway from the henyards, and shut them into a coop, until the chickens arc from four to six weeks old. Young chicks, for the first week, should have hard boiled egg with indian meal, afterwards corn cracked coarse.

Keep the lice oil by usin Scotch snuff, or have slack lime sprinkled in their coops. Thu most fatal disease among chickens is the gapes, although there are a great many remedies tried, but the most successful one ever I saw tried, was with a horse hair; take the hair and double it, leave a small loop and twisting the the test up tightly, take the chicken on your lap, hold him with the left hand, keeping his bill open by placing the thumb and finger each side, run the hair down the wind pipe (don't run it in the swallow, it would be death to it), twist the hair around a few times, and you will have the little red worms sticking to the hair, its a sure cure. True Kf.ruvCow. Vernet, the sketcher, writes to the American Stock published at Gum Tree, as follow I know the Kerrles well among their native heaths and hills, in the suburbs of London, and the surroundings of almost all English towns, and a few in the United 8tates. They are a small, hardy, healthy, perfectly peaceful race of animals, capable of cropping out a living, and keeping in good heart and fair flow of milk upon such rough chance food as will subsist a goat.

Besides these qualities, they little heeu any vicissitudes of weath. r. curing with perfect impunity storms which would put many of our fancy, full-blood and grade cows on the retired list, always maintaining the supply of milk, tetter, under all adverse conditions, than any other cows I have ever seen. (Jentle and docile in disposition, the Kerry cow pets as amiably as a lamb, and in this respect has no equal, either as a dairy or a femiry milker. They continue in milk to a great age, make very excellent tender beef, and are more easily fattened than any other breed of caltlo of which I have any knowledge.

A barnyard beauty, the Kerry cow certainly Is not but her many good qualities all personal appearances. At the preseat time there is a Kerry cow, owned by chance, by a mechanic, living in Brandy-wine village, De'aware, that for sixteen consecutive months after coming in Ires averaged thirteen quarts per day of mile, that was. in reality more like rich cream, and would make twelve pounds of very superior butter per1 week. And the little black, crumpled goat-looking Kerry performed this Service on a cliet of ordinary pasturage, marsh hay, and a quart or two of ordinary slop twice a day to "toll her up to be milked. After the Kerrie, my next choice for all dairy purposes, would be the small, sleek, handsome cows of Brittany.

I have an intimate personal acquaintance with them also, ana shall be pleased to present some of their claims if permitted anoppor- tunuy. ri Rarky on BaLrino. The wonderful power over horses which Mr. Rarey possessed is ascribable to the sympathy which which he always established between himself and the animal with which he came in contact. Speaking of balky horses, he says Almost any team, when first balked, will start kindly if you let hem stand five or teu minutes, as though there was nothing wrong, and then peak to them with a steady voiee and tur'u them to the light or left so a3 to get them both in motion before they feel the pinch of the load.

But if you want to start a team that you are not driving -yourself, thxi has been balked, fooled or whipped tr some time, go to them and hang the lines on their or them to thc.wngon, so that they will be. perfectly loose, make the driver and flHxtatora if there are any stand oil some distance to one bide, so as not to attract the attention of the horse, unloo.se thtir check-reins so that they can get their head down if they choose, let them tand a few minutes in thij condition until you can sec that they arc a little composed while they standing you should Ikj about their head gentling them; it will make them a little mote Jcind, and the spectators will think you are doing that they do not understand, aud will not lea i the teeret." Count Bisrnark is credited with a bu mot which makes everybody smile but Louis They' were talking of the results of the late war before the Prime Minister. Prussia," some one remarked, has had the line of the Maine Italy has had Vcnetia; Kussia has the tast at her disposal." "But France?"
