observer in the Theiss district writes to
the Journal of the' noyal Agricultural
Society- of England, that tobacco is large-
ly cultivated there, and that "Sheep do
very well upon it in a green state as -a
forage crop." We are hot aware that
this fact has been utilized by the champ-
ions of the Darwinian Theory.
—The Massachusetts Plowman sums
up its views on specialities M farming
thus : We would not put all the eggs
into oue basket by cultivating a single
crop, but we would select some one as a
leading epeeiality, arid give particular at-
tentiou to that as the money ero.p of , the
farm. Make that more prominent than
others:, and in the lorig run ice believe it
would pay better than to scatter our
wore too much.
—In its application to veterinary prac-
tice, .horaoepathy seems to have been
generally saccessful. Whether or not
this is the effect of the medicines, or, as
some profess to believe—considering the
homeopathic dilutions to be non effective
for good or evil—of the absence of medi-
cine, may be questioned by those inter- ,
ested either way ; but the fact is vouch- '
ea for that a bad. case of inflammation of
the lanes in a mare was speedily cured
by doses of tincture of oconite given ale
ternately with bryonia every 20 minutes.
Camphor and col3cinth are saica, to have
afforded speedy relief in recent instances
of colic, and; 14 cows with pluro-mme-

17Val *rig Horses.
„ One ofethe st desirable and fashion-
able gaits for a horse is a walk, and it
should first be the aim to develop tbe
gait in the Ilan ing of a colt. The good
walker will als ays make good time on
the road when day's journey is to be
made without vearying himself, whilst
the slow mover must always be kept on
the trot, if time s to be made. A horse
that will walk 1 ve miles an hour will go
as far in a day, onfined to this gait, as
an ordinary ho 'se can be driven when
kept half the ti ne to the trot; and with
'much greater e• se to himself. If one-
half the pains were taken by fill -tilers'
boys to make fa t walkers of tlse young-
sters on the fari that are usually taken
to make them trot, the result would be
mach more beneficial, and we would find
plenty of teams that could do their five
miles an hour with ease. But instead of
this, as soon as the colt is bridled, the
8010 am• e of he boys is to make a
trotter out of am, and both gaits are
spoiled. Make the colts walk, boys;
make them ext nd themselves in a, long,
sweeping. squat' walk, and don't be sat-
isfied with any t ling less than five miles
an hour. Who he gets to trotting he
4ai1l go all the t e faster for this prelim-
inary traiiiing t the walking gait and
he cahnot tot fait enough to beat
Dexter, or Gold mith Maid, or Occident,

more attent on aid to fast walking than
heretofore, and, ve respectfully urge upon

Making Maple Sugar:.
My experience has developed some
facts in the production of maple syrup
or sugar which might, if observed, prove
beneficial to some. First of all is eleah-
limps. No matter of what sort the .
tures in use may be, without this good
syrup or sugar is not made. _Metallic
,fixtures are the best and least apt to
sour. Nearly every article used. in con-
iieetion with sugar -making can and.
should. be made of non -corroding and
non -absorbing materials. Wooden buck-
ets are imperfect and cumbersome, and
besides are liable to sour. Sap -spouts
made of wood, especially, are more liable
to sour than any other used in the bush, .
and are generally least looked after.
When sour sap is found in the buckets
it will be where the wooden spouts are
Some sugar -makers have, been
testing earthen crocks in place of buck-
ets, because they cost but little on the
start, hut find by breakage aud incou-
• venience they are soon done away with, 1
and good tin buckets usually take their
place. The practice that Some have of
reeting their buckets upon the snow or
gionnd is a wasteful one. The sap lost
