one-third that of the same rope when

It is proposed to preserve fish alive
by placing them in vessels filled with
water and hermetically nealed. It is
said that fish so confined have been
found alivo after three weeks, without
either air or water having been
changed, whilo fish in an open jar
died in forty-eight hours. If tho air
in tho vessel is compressed tho life of
tho fish is Btill further prolonged.
Pkom studies upon tho relation
which I ho annual rings bear to tho
ago of trees it has been concluded
that thoy aio only an approxima

of age. Any agency opt rating to pro

tivity in tho growth of tho trees sorves
to determine their formation. In
cold climates tho number of rings
more nearly serves to indicate tho ago
of tho trees than in warm climates.

A' first one teat will milk harder than
the rest, and gets worse until scarce a
drop can be got from it. The quarter
of tho bag it represents is hard and
swoolen. He lets the teat thus affected
alone for four days, rubbing on linseed
oil twice a day, giving the cow five
drops of aconite, on an ear of corn,
night and morning, and not giving tho
cow a full grain ration during this
time. Ho milks on the fifth day, and
generally has no trouble. If it begins
to milk bird again give another rest
and there is no trouble afterwards.
This is a simple way of treating a
troublesome complaint, and at this
time of the year there may be many
persons who will be glad to know how
to treat it.

An avenue of well-grown trees by
the roadside makes a farm vastly more

labor of setting. On high ground the
sugar maple thus set will make a
sugar grove after a few years. On

tree, but its roots extend far into the
Fields.

Tlieie is a greater demand for evor
green corn than for any other. It is

therefore, in demand for soiling and

difficult to cure tho seed without tiro
heat, whieh should always be given,
to have it safe from freezing when

its digestibility.
