To Capture Hawk* nod Owl?. A farmer writes to the Ohio Farmer \ that he has succeeded in taking about twenty hen hawks in a steel trap, by setting the trap on the upper end of a square pole some twenty feet high, with the butt end firmly planted in the ground. E. Gaylord writes in relation to capturing owls : When I suspect the owls are about to commence their mis chief I get a stick suitable for the plaoe, and fasten a small steel trap on the top, and set it up some three or four feet above. If an owl comes anywhere near, he will be very sure to settle down in the trap with as calm and as graoeful an air as an owl can put on. This is a trait in the bwl quite peculiar to himself. He seldom pounces on his victim the first thing, like other birds of prey, but first oomes slowly along, and settles down on some conspicuous site near the victims, and takes a very calm and oool survey of all the surroundings. As soon as all things appear to him to be favorable, he qu:etly lets himself down among the fowls, hoping to induce some ; of their number to flv off or drop down from the roost, when he, quick as; thought, embraces the opportunity to swoop down and carry off the fowl. I ^-^qsed to fasten the trap with a staple, on top.of the stick, but I find this gives them a much better chance to tear themselves out of the trap. Now, I fasten it slightly on top and firmly to the stick, some two feet below the trap, with a cnain or corn. How It Ptyi to Have Good Cowr. I herewith send you, writes a oor-! respondent of the Vermont Farmer, a statement of the income of eight Jersey oows for the year ending January, 1867:: Twenty-five hundred and six tj-six ponuda eleven ounces of batter made and sold at forty oente per pound $1,026.67 | Cream sold 2.00 Eight calves (6 heifers) raised 185.00 Ten piga raised and fatted on soar milk and twenty-five bushels of meal 207.50 | Total $1,421.17 Less twenty-five bushels of meal.... 25.00 Total $1,896.17 My cows are full-blooded Jerseys and three grades.

We never have any soft butter in warm weather. I feed no roots of any kind, nothing but meal and all the good, early-out hay they will eat. Talie of Uaderdralninff. P. T. Quin, in his work entitled j "Gardening for Profit," says a certain ; German leased twelve acres of land near j Jersey City for ten years, at 8100 per acre. It was heavy, wet land, and after heavy manuring for three years he could j only make a living. Some of his neighbors, better posted, told him he would have to underdrain it. As his lease had only seven years to run, he was afraid it would not pay; but as the only alternative he took the advice. It took 860 per acre, only one half of what ho had paid for manure yearly. The result was at the end of his lease he paid $12,000 for the land and owned it. A Husband Trapped. Writing of the oarnival ball at Rome, a correspondent of the Memphis Aralanche says: Bat before I end my -account I must tell you of a carnival adventure in which mn American gentleman figured, that has set all Rome to laughing. How it became public property no one can tell, but certain it is that every one knows it, and I violate no confidence in its mention. He went with his wife to one of the carnival balls. Here he was to meet an Italian bella donna for whom he had a tendresse. They were to reoognize each other by the usual time-worn devices?a blue ribbon in his button hole, an almond blossom in her dark hair. NaturaMy he had not made his wife the confidant of his little affair, and had carefully Qonoealed from her the costume he had selected?that of a Spanish doD. But he could not guard all the avenues to his secret, and his wife was quite clever enough to find an open one. She found out every detail of his dress, and kept the knowledge to herself, together with a .little secret"of her own, with which she promised herself some spoit. The ball was at its height. From one o'clock to three the American had danced attendance to his Dulcinea ; he was hurrying off to get her an ice, when a little figure in a blue domino, whom he recognized as his wife, stopped the [ way. Phe (in the high carnival voice)?" So I've fonnd you out, have I ?" He?" Oh, do let me alone," She?" Indeed I won't. I know your tricks and manners. I've been watching yonr flirtation in the corner. Pretty goings on at your time of Ufe." He?"It don't become you to throw stones my dear. You are not as young as you were. Remember your hair dye." She?"My hair is my own, at all events. I wonder if your languid sisrnorina knows that you take yours off at night ?" He?" I declare, Maria Jane, you get more aggravating every day. Its nag, nag, nag from morning till night. You'll be as bad as your Aunt Hicklin if you keep on." She (laughing very much)?" Indeed 1 As bad aa Aunt Hicklin ?" He?"Yes; and you couldn't be worse?unless you were the "? At this point in the dialogue a second domino came up, identical with the one at his side, and to his amazement the voice of his wife said, sweetly : " John, dear, it is time we were going home, is it not I" " But who is this ?" he gasped. " Oh! that is Aunt Hicklin." (Aunt Hicklin, be it remarked, was a maiden aunt with sheckels.) " We are just of a height, you know," continued the wife, " and we made up a plan to dress exactly alike and not let any one know. It's been such fun; hain't it, aunty, dear ?" Aunty, dear, took off her mask, grinned like a wioked fairy, and said she thought it had. I am informed that the maiden with the almond blossoms waited inn TnVin wlin />amo 111 ?'

Detnocrat says: Talk about the opium eater or the whisky drinker, how much more are they to be pitied than the lady who is addicted to dipping snuff ? We believe there is more snuff used in Hopkinsville than in any other place of its size in Kentucky, and its use is steadily on the increase. Hopkinsville has a reputation for beautiful women, but how long that reputation will last 'tis hard to tell. Some of the prettiest women we knew ten or twelve years ago are now nothing but faded dowers. Lips that onoe looked like wild cherries, and for one kiss from which a man would almost give his right arm, now look more like dried apples than anything else we can think of. The cheek once full and rosy is now sunken and oolorless. The chin, which looks longer, now glories in a bronze oolored stripe, which reaches down to the throat. Snufl is robbing women of their beauty and depriving them of husbands. It is more harmful than smoking, and more repulsive than chewing, and its use by ladies is almost as much to be condemned as the drinking of whisky by men; and if the ladies have grounds to talk about men drinking and smoking, they are assured that snuff dipping in ?he eyes of men is about as repulsive as the smell of a two cent-and-a-half cigar, or a sniff of "rifle" whisky to the olfactories of -the fair sex. We indulge the hope that soon there will be an anti-snuff society formed, which will be a twin sister of our tem-> peranoe society. We have no idea how many ladies in our city will take exception to this article. If all that use snuff were to get after us, we would call their name legion, but we are upheld in our action by some of the most sensible mothers in town, in entering a protest against a habit, the adoption of which by a arirl is almost as much to be dreaded by a parent as is the first taste of liqnor by his boy.

A better way is to pack the eggs in tight vessels or vats made on purpose, and corn them with a strong brine. Another way is to cover them with lime water. In Russia they are dipped into melted tallow and then carefully laid away. An easy way to prepare them to keep is to place the eggs on a sieve and pour boiling water over them. This is said to stop up the pores in the shells and exclude the air, which it is neoessary to do in order to preserve them. Packing in s$lt and brine are the safdst.

Agreed to. A Thrilling Incident. A thrilling inoident is related concerning a passenger train on the Missouri, Kansas and Texas railroad. One day, not long since, as it was dashing toward Evansville, Mr. Chappell, the engineer, saw, not a hundred yards ahead, a large tree lying across the track. Instantdeath seem inevitable; but Chappell put on the air brake, reversed the lever, and stood at his post, never flinching, as the engine dashed into the obstruction. The locomotive reared up, was stripped of its wheels, and hurled to one side. The tender and baggage car were tossed into the ditch, but the passenger cars were left standing on the track uninjured. The engineer ancl the fireman crawled out of the wreck, strange to say, both unharmed, and the conductor quieted the frightened passengers. It was a miraculous escape for the whole train, and the credit is due to the brave engineer, who faoed death like a Spartan. Young man, you can't learn anything new by hearing yourself talk, J Planting Trees. There seems to be a general desire? at least in many parts of our country? that this centennial year shotild witness the planting of numerous shade trees. Special efforts are being made in some New England towns to accomplish this result. The time for tree planting is at hand, and all who engage in this good work may have the satisfaction of feeling that they are doing a substantial service for coming generations. The beauty and healthfulness of many a city and village would be greatly increased by the addition of shade trees. Take a Newspaper Rather than Whip Your Wife in Texas.

There ia probably no man to whom the community owee so much aa to the honeet, fairspoken physician, who does his actual duty both to himself and to his patients. Really skilled physicians are not so numerous that their virtues need no mention, and hence the advertisement of Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, may well olaim the reader's attention. Dr. Pieroe is a type of a class of men who obtain success by careful and well directed effort, not attempting too much, or creating false ideas as to ability. The only reliable physician in these days of complicated disorders aud highpressure living is the " specialist," the man who understands the one branch of the business. Snoh in his line is Dr. Pierce. For the benefit of his readers be has written a " Common Sonso Medical Adviser," which is well worth reading by those who need such a work. With strict business honor, high professional skill, reasonable feee, and a large corps of competent assistants, Dr. Pieroe will donbtless make his came familiar as "household words."* Chronic Diseases Cured.?In communities remote from larger towDsthore seems to be bat two alternatives for the sick; either to employ the family physician or to patronize the patent medicine venders.
