I'aro and core about a dozen nice-sized apples; put them in a sauce-pan with a little water to keep them from burning; boil them until you can pulp them, (but do not forget to frequently htlr;,tliein;) then add a quarter of a pound of currants, two ouncesof candied neel.and enouirh sugar to sweeten it nicely; if liked, al so a little grated nutmeg.

It has been de cided that when a hore or carriage is lot out for hire, for the purposo ol per forming a particular journey, tho party lotting warrants the liorso and carriage lit and competent for such a. journey. Jf the hirer treats the horso or carriage as any prudent man would do, he is not aniwerablo for any damage that either may receive I Jut he must use tho liorso for the purpose for which ho hired him. I'or instance, a hor.se hired Jor Middle must not be used in harness. Jf the hirer violates this express condi tion of the contract, ho is liable for any damago that may occur. If tho horse isstolen through tho hirer's negligence, hiich as leaving tho .stable door open all night, he must answer lor it. Hut if ho is robbed of it by highwaymen, when traveling the usual road at usual hours, ho cannot bo held for damages. As these questions are frequently In dispute, it is not out of place to shed a little light upon them. TnrJ,MvM uml Juifin. Stincjs i-'iiom Insists. After being titling by a wasp or bee, the llrst thing to bo done is to remove the .sting. This may bo done with a pair of .small twee zers, or tho sides of the wound pressed with u small key, so it may ho .squeezed out. Then apply to it immediately spirits of camphor, sal volatile or tur pentine, or failing these, rub it with a little common .salt, era little moist to bacco or snuir. If a wasp or a beo Htings the throat, a little turpentine should be immediately swallowed. If the place swells very much and looks inllamed, it should be bathed in arnica, or have a hot white-bread poultice laid uiKiu it. Tho arnica may bo made by mixing twenty drops of the pure tinc ture with half a tumblerful of water. .Judge Wilkens, of Toledo, has ren dered a decision of interest to turfmen, at least In the Dominion. Proceedings had been Instituted against tho man iigoment of the race meeting at Osh awu for tho recovery of a pur.se claim ed to have been won in the two-mile dash by I'as.slon. The horses were started by Hags, but the judge rang tho boll fori recall. The rider of l'.isslon, knowing it to bo theca.se. went over tho course ami claimed tlio money, maintaining that the starters having dropped tho Hags, the judge had no right to interfere. Judge Wilkens guvo his decision in favor of i'assion. DlMI. MM! VS. lillOAIM'ASTSKKDtNM. According to .statistics from the De partment of Agriculture, at Washing tan, two acres out of one hundred in wheat In California are put in by drill ing, In Oregon there are 1!) acres, in JJow York, Indiana, and Michigan, uch ', in Ohio 70, and in lViinvlvn niti and Illinois each 7(1 acres.

It is said by one who profes.s(s to have kept 'ount, that since the middleof June, the commencement of tho touting sea fou, and up to Angus! 1st, that no less than 1S7 ciikos have been reported of necldiuual drowning in the Vuited fcitates, from vivooN of various kinds.

With a press of work, often tho cultivation of u hoed crop is put on until me weeus have attained a considerable .size, even 'o as to overshadow the crop, Tliisis a mistake. Every weed not destroyed is sapping the ground of tho nutriment that is just in tho best condition for tho growing plant, but if tho weed is de stroyed as It comes out oi the ground it lias, as yet, only taken its nutrition from its own seed. Again, a single motion, when weeds are tiny, will destroy hundreds, where, if allowed to grow a while longer, each individual .specimen wtll require the suno effort. Here is where the stroke in time saves ninety-nine or more. This is most emphatically true in the growth of onions, beets and oth er crops closely sown, which require hand work entirely. In ca-o ol potatoes the plan of harrowing alter planting and before they are far advanced in growth is growing fast in favor. This allows the crop to have a good start of tho weeds, and the potatoes are not in the least injured by the harrow. De troit I'Vcc 1'i'exs. TllKUS A.S AllUl'sTl'ltS 01' IN.SKCTS. The President of tho Scottish Arbor- icultual Society, in his inaugural ad dress at its late session, called atten tion to a matter which, if correct, will bo of interest to those of our readers in the districts liable to be Infested by the Western locust pest. In tho ad dress allusion was made to the benefi cial effects of the maintainance of a duo proportion of forest land in every country,. from the shelter it gives, in spring and protection from high winds, as well as to the common belief that malaria and flights of locusts and nox ious insects, etc., are often arrested by belts of forest. Jle then proceeded to sketch the evils that have followed the reckless cutting down of Indigenous wood in many countries, where, only when it was too late, have measures been adopted for preserving forests. Ho urged the necessity of prudence and caution in all operations, which, in n largo scale, interfere with the pri mevial arrangments of tho organic and inorganic world. " Jii.MioriNK " II on ix. The Jittml U'orttl describes this fraud, which con sists in operating on the teeth of an old hore with a rasp or tile, sons to make them resemble the teeth of a young lior.se. As the lior.se grows old tho gums shrink away, making the teeth look long ono of tho best evidences of old age. Tho horse's mouth is opened and an instrument put in so he cannot closo it, and the head is tied up high and the bishoper rasps down the teeth to about tho length of those of a young hor.se. Sometimes the Indentations in the teeth are also made so as to re semble those of a horse six or seven years old, and hordes havo even been taken by government inspectors, thus operated upon, without detection. The name, wo presume, comes from a man by the name of Bishop, who probably introduced tho practice. Tho operation is only carried on in our large cities by sharpers. Cooling Tin: JIodv Sudden ia'. Science of Jhalth says: ''If farmers would avoid suddenly cooling tho body, after great exertion, if they would be careful not to go with wot clothing and wet feet, and if they would not over eat when in an exhausted condition, and bathe daily, using much friction, they would have less rheumatism." This plan applies with lossportineneo to limners man any omer ciass, since tho fact that they are in tho open air, and perspiring freely, tends to keep them cool, added to this tho exercise taken from tho Hold to tho house, cools the .system more or less perfectly. Tho exhibition of sheep at tho Inter national liivo Stock Show will bo the grandest ever held at any International Kxhibltion. Tho display from Canada and England will he ttie pick from their Hocks the first named sending one hundred and fifty head, and Eng land over two hundred. These com prise some of the most noted animals In Oreat Britain, including all the prize ewes and some of the prize rams of Lord Walsingham, who took all the first prizes in his class at tho Into Hoynl Agricultural Show. Tho " National Otle," read in Indo uoiulonco Squaro on tho Fourth of In ly, appeared in Gorman in tlio JTeitc Firie mw of Vienna, anil tho l'oMw zeituiti of llerlin, on tho morning of tho ritn. Tlio translation was miulo uy Adolf ytrodtmann tho author of tho " l.ifo of lloino," mid, ainco Freili irrath's death, the hcit translator of Kiitflish Kietry into Gorman who had applied to Mr. Taylor for an advanco copy of tho Ode. A llivint or 1nk. In Aluoria there is a rvier of Konuino ink. It is formed by tho union of two streams, ono coin IiiK from a rejjlon of ferruginous soil, the other draining a peat swamp. The water of tho former is .-trongly impreg nated wttli iron, thot of tho latter with gallie ai'id. When the two waters mingle the aeiil of tho ono unites with tlio iron ot tho other, forming a true ink. A writer in the Loudon Daily AVir. m.v: " It is not, unfortunately, goner ally known that in tho ease of tiro in buildings containing horses, if the har iies ln merely out on, however rough ly, tlio horses will quit their stables without dittU'iilty. A knowledge of this fact may bo tho means of saving many a valuable animal from a horrible dentil." Somebody gave a Texas detoetivo a portrait of Shakespeare, and told him It was the picture of a horse-thief for who-o arrest there had been ti rewanl otVered, The detentive has since scru tinized strange fucoa closely, but h:s not arrested anybody.
