72 TlrlE VERMONT TRAJSTSOKIPT. Jul garmrrs' gcimrtmcnt. Watkihso Houses. Tlio quantity, n.8 well as tlio quality, of Ujo water given a horso will greatly affect his condition. Perhaps no animal is moro distressed by thirst than tlio homo, a fact not generally known, nor fully appreciated. Horses should bo watered regularly, when not at work, as well as when at work, provided, in tho latter caso, that caro is taken not to lot him have it when overheated by work. Irregularity in tho supply of water is often followed by r remsai to partrtKO oi sonu ioou, anu moro frequently by colic and founder, in cohscquenco of his drinking inordi-1 natcly when an opportunity offers. For horses, when they are not at work, it is perfectly safo to keep a supply of Euro water always within their reach ; ut as before remarked, thcro is some danger in this plan when they aro workod or driven, and aro likely to be come overheated. Thoro is a very certain way of deter mining when a horso has been noglect cd. If tho master, on entering tho stable and lifting the water bucket, findB tho animal placing himself in an attitude of expectation, and eagerly azing upon tho vessel, it is point lank ovidenco that his usual supply of water has been withhold. "When ever it is possible, let tho horso have water from a running stream. Gai.oet in Cows. Garget is a trouble some complaint. It affects tho udder and ;produces a morbid action of tho system, but moro particularly of tho secretory and lactescent glnnds. If taken in season, common linseed oil nibbed carefully over tho teats and udder will effect a perfect cure. In tubbom cases, from two to threo ap plications may be necessary. As a pre ventive a few doses of saltpetre, per month, administered in dough or mush a tablespoonful at a time is highly valuable. AGoonConN Stimueant. Two bush els of ashes to ono of plaster. Apply, botween planting and hoeing, a small handful to the lull. If tho application bo soon followed by a gentle rain, tho benefits will be moro marked than if a drouth ensue. Somo say, that by an application of tho above mixture tho value of their crop has been increased ono-half. On some soils this difference would doubtless occur. Canning Fiiuits. It may be interest ing to your readers to know that in theso times of high prices many fruits can bo preserved with little or no sugar. Currants, gooseberries, cherries, peaches and pears, require no sugar to Erescrvo thom. Raspberries andblack errics do not require moro than four ounces of sugar to a pound of fruit, and strawberries but little moro. Wo have now tho different kinds nearly as fresh and good as when first gathered. Put thom up tho samo way . as if you used tho usual quantity of sugar that is, oxpel tho cold air by heating tho fruit after it is placed in jars, by sot ting tho jar in cold water, which heat to boiling. Tho jars wo use aro Mo tion's self sealing, with zinc covers, which can bo screwed on beforo the jar is removed from tho water. Wo have never lost a jar of fruit put up in them. Maine Farmer. i ' Bugh on Vines. Every spring nu merous inquiries aro mado how to pro tect vines from tbo bugs. I am not troubled with any. "Whether it is ac cidental or tho result of my practico I wish mv readers to dctcrmino this Snrinc. "When a boy of ten or twolvo, I had mv littlo pardon under my own care. My grandfather taught mo that if I wished healthy vines, to souk my need from twclvo to twenty-four hours in wood soot and water. After havintf been away from tho farm for some years, I am, for tho last four years, back again, and I remem bering tho advice given mo when I was a boy, I have soaked my seed and raised splendid vines, entirely free from bugs.

We hear much about camphor, but that, with us, novor yet proved successful. Exchange, Chop Repoiits ron Arnit, and May. Tho bi-monthly report of tho commis sioner of agriculture, for Anril and May, is published, and on tho whole gives a very favorablo nccount of tho present crop. Winter wheat was not so much damaged by tho variablo weather of tho winter as at first ex pected, though it is estimated that tho total falling off from last year's yield will bo about 30 per cont. Spring wheat is looking remarkably well, but tho average amount was not sown. A fair breadth of corn was planted, and tho crop is looking very well. Oats and barley have been sown in greater abundanco than usual, and wero never looking so well. Tho hay crop is ro- porieu as looinng remaiKaoiy well m almost every locality, with tho prospect of an extraordinary crop. But it is likely tho drouth in Juno will prevent this expectation being realized in many localities, ui lnuts apples aro re ported as looking well at tho t5 tatcs, but poorly at tho West, and tho samo distinctionu is mado in most all tho fruit crops. Tho peach trees, as wol as tho fruit, wero killed in many places at tho West by tho severity of tho winter. Thcro will not bo an av erage crop of grapes in most localities, but in California thcro is a prospect of an unexampled yield, and larger pre parations than usual aro being made for wine-making. Tho commissioner speaks with gratification of tho largo increase of tho maplo sugar and mo lasses crop, and should tho sorghum yield bo good, the high prico and largo importation of foreign sugars will bo much decreased. Tho correspondents of tho department all over the country speak of tho scarcity of help, which was greatly aggravated at tho West by the departure of tho 100 days' men. In many places tho women have had to go into tho field to tako tho places of thoso gono to tho war, and in some sections tho country is largely indebted to thom that so much ground has been planted, and that tho crops look so well. Stiiknotii or Mateiuai.s. It is a rc markoblo fact that tho most abundant material in nature, iron, is tho strongest of all known substances. Mado into best steel, a rod one-fourth of an inch in diameter will sustain !),000 pounds before breaking ; soft steel, 7,000 pounds ; iron wire, 0,000; bar iron, 1,000 ; inferior bar iron, 2,000 ; cast iron, 1,000 to 3,000 ; copper wiro, 3,000 ; silver, 2,000 gold, 2,500 ; tin, 200 ; cast zinc, 1(10; sheet zinc, 1,000; cast lead, 55 ; milled lead, 200.

Wood which will bear a very heavy weight for a minuto or two, will break with two-thirds tho forco a long time. A rod of good iron is about ten times as strong as a hemp cord. A ropo an inch in diameter will boar about two and a half tons ; but in practico it is not safo to subject it to a strain of moro than about ono ton. Half an inch in uiameter tho strength will ho one- quarter as much ; a quarter of an inch, one-sixteenth as much, and so on. jyAUCII, ISO I. INTew Goods ! CYMFViai'T OrBNED At No. 2 Dnwow Block !

The blithe, cher ry Jittlo feathered songsters who havo been spending tho winter in warmer climes, are fast returning to our fields and woods, and aro ushering in tho spring with sweet carols. Their delight ful music is dear to every lover of na ture, and every such pcrsou bids them a hearty welcome Not so, wo aro pained to hear, rudo boys in somo lo calities, who aro pursuing them With murderous guns and shooting them in wanton sport. Wo hopo thcro aro few cruel enough to indulgo in such j brutal pastime, but wherever thcro aro such, tho law should at onco bo invoked to stop their merciless slaughter. Not only aro lovers of birds, as ono of tho plcasantest features of country hfo, interested m this matter, but tho farmer, whoso pecuniary success is greatly affected by tho presence or ab so'nco of tho birds. To the farmer they aro of incalculable value in destroying millions of noxious insects that would othorwiso play havoo with his crops. In ono of tho districts of Franco, a few years smco, tho birds, by a mistaken policy, wero all killed on. I ho con- sequenco was that tho farmers crops suffered severely from, tlio depredations of tho insect tribes. Tlio people, dis covering thoir error, set to work to re stock their fields and woods with birds, prohibited tho shooting of them, and in timo tho insect pests wore thinned out. It is not only cruel but a serious injury to agriculture to shoot tho birds. Wo havo stringent laws on tho subject in this State and they should bo rigidly enforced. Sparo tho birds 1 Clou's Plan op Youn Lin:. Novor complain of your birth, your employ ment, your hardships; novor fancy that you could bo something if you only had a diffrront lot and sphero assigned you. God understands his own plan, and ho knows what you want a great deal better than you do. Tho vory thing that you most depro cato as fatal limitations or obstruc tions, are probably what you most want. What you call hindrances, obstacles, discouragements, and probably God's opportunities; and it is nothing new that the patient should dislikohis med icines, or any certain proof that they are poisons. No ! A truce to all such impationco. Choko that envy which gnaws at your heart, because you aro not in tho samo lot with others; bring down your soul, or rather bring it up to receive God's will, and do his work, in your lot and sphere, under your cloud of obscurity, against your temp tations, and then you shall find that your condition is never opposed to your good, but consistent with it.

Ono of our ex changes, in commenting upon tho ridic ulous airs of importauco which tho now Hedged shoddy aristocracy at "Washington put on, says: "Wo recollect an occasion several years sinco when a number of tho! members of tho legislature officially visited this city, and put up at a hotel I where negro waiters wero employed. "When they sat down to dinner thoy wero remarkably polite to each other, and "Will tho Honorablo gentleman from Rochester pass tho butter?" "Will tho Honorablo gentleman from Chenango try somo wino ?,' and""Will tho Honorable erentleinan Irom Unon- daga help mo to somo potatoes?" wero freely bandied arouuu tlio taoic. There wore present at tho timo a gen tleman possessing a keen perception of tho ridiculous, and who became thoroughly disgusted with their apings of aristocracy.
