There are two seasons of the year in which farmers are very liable to give, their cattle an insufficient supply of good water, and these two seasons arc mid summer and midwinter. When the pas ture fields arc not supplied with running water, the animals, in summer, are made to drink from stagnant pools, many times as insufficiently supplied us tho wells; and in the winter water is given usually but once a day, and the work of water ing left to Che hired man, who has not always individual interest or patience chough to give cattle time to take water us slowly as they wish to in very cold weather. There arc but few farms unapplied with springs or creeks; but a good supply of water may be found by digging, and after the supply is obtained, there should be the individual -attention of tho owner giving to the matter of seeing that the animals arc provided with all that they may desire. Surface water is the best, for it is the provision of nature, and if somewhat impregnated with earth is none the wors2, and cattle seem to prefer it in tiiis way to the pure. Thero is a vast difference, however, letwe n rily and stagnant water.?Ohio Farmer. Destroying Cureulios, The following statement from a corres pondent of tho Gcrmnntown Telegraph is of great interest to all who arc cultivating plum trees. He says: I have seen vari ous methods for keeping these insects off plum trees, but none so simple nor yet so effectual as the following Soutcorn cobs in sweetened water until ^thoroughly satura ted then suspend them to the limbs of the. trees' a little while after blossoming, be ing sure to burn the cobs after the fruit ripens:, as they will be found full of injects. A good plan is to change the cobs every few weeks. My theory is this?that tho insects deposit their eggs in the cobs in preference to doing so in the young plums*, The first season J tried it Upon one or two trees only, and in the summer was rewarded by a good crop of as fine plums ns ever ripened, while those on the other trees fell off when about half grown. JTcxt spring found sweetened corn cobs dangling from the limbs of all my plum trees, anil the summed found them full ul delicious fruit. Tender Footed Horses. An old man who had much experience in ham.ling and dealing in horses for more limn half a century, said to me re 'irently that he hud never known a horse to get tender footed that was kept loose in a sheil and yard, or in a boxed s all. The turning around and treading with their forward feet iii tho manure keep them constantly moist a. d soft. His theory appeared perfectly reasonable to me. I have no box si nils, but 1 used sha vings for bedding, and every morning with a large shovel 1 moved tho wet shaving under the horses lorwurd feel, and then the lust thing at night covc,r these with dry shavings for for him to lie on. He also n iiuu ked that he never knew a fiat-footed horse but what was a grout worker.
