AGRICULTO~RE. ftuz horses when trotting in putting their hind feet to the ground strike prinol pally on the toe. Such horses should have the heels lowered, and should wear shoes without heels. 8kunk-cabbage is said to be good for heaves in teaspoonful doses night and morning. Moisten the hay andgrain. Be careful with the diet. Never work a heavy horse on a full stomach. Steel bits should be kept in a warm place until they are placed in the horse's mouth. Any person can realize the sen sation of placing a cold bit in the horse's mouth by first touching it with his own tongue, Tar Is one of the most useful articles to be kept about the stable. Internally use a teaspoonful night and morning tor chronic coughs; externally, It Is particu larly useful in thrush and all diseases or wounds of the foqt. Mixed with fish-oil it Is one of the ben remedies for hard or brittle feet. An excellent remedy for mange is: 011 of turpentine, I pint; add cautioutly two ounces of oil of vitriol, stirring the mix ture constantly; then add eight ounces lin seed oil, to be rubbed in with a brush twice a day If your double team did not work to suit you to-day,one orQwding to the pole while the other would pull his head to one side, see that the reins are right, and in hooking them to your wagon to morrow put the off horse on the near side. THE obvious use of the roots of trees and plants is to attach these to the soil and hold them sefely, and although the largest portion of the roots tire fine fibers. of themselves individually very weak and brittle; yet in the aggregate they are of such strength and tenacity as to resiAt the efforts of a small man to pull up a very small plant. The root (it a narrow-leaved dock, for instance,or of a plant of commien crab grass (Panicun 8anguinale), Is so firmly attached to the soit that either will sustain a weight of 50 or 100 pounds before it can be drawn out,unless the stem breaks off. The strength of the roots of a large tree may be realized when the force of a storia pressing upon the large area of the top is estimated, together %ith the addi tional power e fforded by the large leverage of the stem, in all amounting to several tons. But while this mechanical puipose is so well attained by the spreading and interlacing mass of roots, yet these fuifil a far more essential purpose in the feeding of the plant, and tuis lunction is so com plicated and varied in Its action and effects as to become a most interesting study to the cultivator of the Eoil who watches the growth of his crops. A LATE number of the Gardener's Chronitcl contains a detailed accvunt of sonue experiments which have been made in grafting potatoes for producing graft hybrids. but with a single exception with out any succesS. Sonme years ago this model Cf attempting to produce crosses was thought to promise great results; but it appears to be now giveu as of little val ue. Placing the face of two unlike sci one together may proiuce a union between them in precisely the same way that the graft and stock in common grafting adhere together; and as the stock sometimes ef fects an influence on the grait, so that the two grafts may produce some change. Whet are termcd accidental "sports"-of ten caused by some external injury--have given more distinct new sorts tihan grafting has ever accoimplished. it'iising new plants from aced is a miuch easier and more prolific mode of obtaining new varieties, and 'when in addition to this moace artin. cial crossing is resor ted to the results have been extensive and of a decided character.

Distinction must be made between slow and vigorous groweir, and between thnse. which bear flowers on old wood ati those which flower on new growth. Such as grow too strong to flower well should be lightly prunta.andl in the same individ ual the weaktst sLaoots should be cut in more sevet ely than the stronger ones. Li lacs and the Philadelphus bear flowers on the wood of last 3 ear, andl to prune them much now destro3s the llowering,while the altheas and others which flower on the ycung wood cannot be too severely cut in.

TiMEz was when the bean crop of Western New York rargedt fronm twenty to thirty bushels per acre; but several farmers in this town say it will not be over elght or nine bushels tis Year. One field of thirty acres, very carefully fitted and cultivated, gave only between thiri.en andi fourteen bushels per acre. Aniother, near the high way, which was thought as Promising as any, only tturn(d tsn bushels per acre. Several hundied acies were destroyedt by hail in the towns of Caledoima, york and other towns In the northwest; many fields were inJjui( d by using too much seed, caused by the weevil scare about planting time. iPAaTUR1INO sheep or liege in orchards is an excellent prac.ace, less Ior the value of the pasture than for the benefit to the fruit by destroying wormy specimucni. 'rThe animals should be led liberally daily, but, not1 late: at night or early in the morning, so as to encourago them to make early forays for fallen Iruit. EvENYt 0one interested in potatoes should try on a small scale new varieties till they find something adapted to their cultivation etc., ando by beim, a little carefuli, can dou ble their yield on any of the old kinds with but hittle additional expense. Mloney spet for good seed is well invested, and will be very certain to pay a large dividend.

DOMESTIC. A ymnrsThAs Prum PUDDIMU.-To be wholesome, a plum pudding must be well combined, well mixed, well cooked, served up hot, and eaten before the ap petite is flagging. A good plum pud- 1 ding Is not indigestible, but nourishing, I strengthening, and above all, comfort. Ing; it puts people in good temper and makes them feel happy. Do not make it too rich, too heavy, nor too sweet, nor too large, but be moderate in every thing, forgetling nothing, and mixing it with your own han'ds. Only that plum pudding Is lucky that is stirred I by each member of the household. Take one pound of best raisins, well stoned; one pound of currants, half a pound of Sultanas, half a pound of fine. I ly-chopped candied peel, one pound of best moist sugar, the rind of one lemon, grated; mix spice according to judge ment; one ounce of powdered sweet 4 almonds, grated nutmeg and ground I cinnamon, a pinch of salt and a pinch I of ground pepper. Prepare best white I stale bread crumbs and rub it even, to your judgement In quantity; then add three tablespoons of fine-sifted flour. Chop as fino as possible three quarters of a pound of best beef suet; add to bread and flour; also two good pinches of baking powder; mix well. Add gro ceries and mix well. Pour tivo table spoons of best golden syrup over this mixture. Beat up the yolks of six eggs well; the whites of three with white sugar, mix them with the pudding materials. Stir for ten minutes, till all is amalgama ted. Add two glasses of sherry, if desired, mix aufficient to bring to a good moisture, but not sloppy. Butter a mould well; pour in pudding and place in steamer or saucepan, so that the wa. ter reaches only half the height, and by no means immerso it, cover the pudding with clean paper and let steam for six hours at least. For sauce, take piece of best butter and melt; mix with half a spoon of best fine flour, mix well. Add sugar and vanilla flavoring and as much milk or cream as desired. Mix well in stirring until it is perfectly smooth. SCOTcH BROTU,-In addition to Len ten fast-keepers there are numbers of people who 'take to" vegetable diet at this time of the year, bcoause it agrees wiih thm. Here is a receipt for a nour ishing soup: Eight ounces barley, four ounces haricot beans, four ounces dried green peas, two large carrots, one largo turnip, one largo leek (or four ounces of omlons), one ounce salt butter; salt to taste. The peas are soaked in water for twenty four'bours, then at 9' o'clock are put in the water with cold water, the barley, beans and onions-other vegetables are added successively as they are prepared, thus retaining the flavor of all, and insuring thorough cooking. At five minutes to one o' clock the butter is added to the thor oughly blended ingredients, and the soup, served with toasted bread, formi an abundant and satisfying meal. The tiavor being in the vegetables aAid not in the meat, none but the imtiated can tell the difference, from tha soup made with six pounds to eight pounds of beef. FRENC RIcE PUDDING.-Pick and wash in twvo or three waters a couple of handfuls of rice, and put it to cook in rather less than a quart of milk, sweet ened to taste, and with the addition of the thin rind of one lemon, cut in one piece, and a small stick of cinnamon. Let the rice sinamer gently until it has absorbed all the milk. Tiurn it out in to a basin, and when cold, remove the lemon-rind and cinnamon. Then stir into it the yolks of four eggs and one whole egg beaten up; add a small quain tity of candied citron cut into snaall pieces andi mix it wvell in. Butter and bread crumb a plain tin mould, put the mixture into it, and bake mn a quick oven for about half an hour. To aiscer tain when the puddiing is done, insert a bright t.rusising-noedio into it; it will como out clean when the pudding is done. UncCoLATB MAOAROONS --Delicious chocolate mnacaroons are made by melt ing slowly, and with care, three ounces of plain chocolate. A good way is to melt, it in a tin tush and set it within another containing hot water. Make a thick p>aste by stirring in gradually one pound1( of p)owder<d sugar and the wvel - beaten whitLs of throcu-eggs. then spread or roll it. as smooth as posible to a sheet about a quarter of an inch thick.

The Syrian gentleman Wears it as a girdle, often of costly material and beautiful tints. The ofroot is then very fine. The shawl holds an honored place in the wardrobe of the queen and wraps its faded tatters around the beggar in the street., in one country it is worn as5 a coat, in another as a blanket, in a third at. a cloak, in a fourth as a vail falling gracelully from the head over the shoultiers, and in a fifth reposing con the shoulders haugs in undulating folds, giving an indefinable air of gan tiity to the lady who knows how to 'wear it.
