AGRICULTURAL auirxii *r ixutx. — In recommending new varieties of * farm products advertiser* are not supposed to exaggerate, but it is not always „ *afo to place to O uiurh confidence in everything you see advertised. — a tr»ek by which to get au unco or ( mon yield of mdk iu a short time is said to be that of feeding a oow with bar own f milk a* soon as weighed, and r*-p**tin,t i the operation until rt-omrkaMe figure* attain* d. The only difficulty we see in tbe way is to uiako the oow drink th - milk. —Ax exsr Method or stcmi-ixo Lavo. — A New Yorker writes i 'JV rid land of atutups I dig around and under tlioiu with a sjeide, leaving a basin to i catch tbe water of winter and spring, which, as It frresca, slowly raise* th. stump* from their bed*. tv»mc of the • large-.! were so raised by spring that we [ could tip tbcui over by b rnd. Tbe solid lilies i went around a.'nin to ghc Jack Frost another opiiortuui y to put his icy fingers under tlicui. 1 think a field can be cleared in one half the lime that it could by tbe old method. — 8ome t.eople have an idea that it make* no difference about egg*, whether clean or dirty, for the* are sure to be "clean inside." The latter part only is true, and that not wholly so. Filth or dirt causes the shell to decay, and certain kinds of filth, inay sometimes n u--«: t the uslo when the egg is l-roken and cooked. In connection with this, clean egg* look a great deal better in market, and are actually worth more, n.h ouly Ix.*<wum> tbey will keep longer, but the eye has very much to do with the value of any article, Beside*, it reveal* a sort of sloriabtieasand unclsanuea* that may exi«t in other departments of the household ; therefore to avoid suspicion, collect the eggs every night, keep thciu dry and cool and be sure they are kept clean. i — How TO St'CCKKD WITH OXIUXS. — Onion* differ from moat othar crop* in not requiring a rotation.

TWd .Vnr JVe-C'ntf Stamp. A paragraph hat been floating about Tor some time to tbe effect thai the vignette o. General Grant would adorn the ntw two-cent atamp to be Issued in Oonse quence of the reduction of letter postage, Third Assistant Postmaster Gen eral Hsscn say* there is no authnrity for such a sUtement, though the Do parttlb-nt was aware of the exbdenoe of •uch a report. It is oontrary to the spirit af the statute. If not the letlor o( it, to place the head of any living per eon upon a portage stamp. Goners I llaaen noaridered it probable that the bead of Gmnl would adorn one of tlir -lenom in at ion* of stamp* after his death. However, Ueneral Grant lis* exnretaed an aversion to the use of hi* vignette for such a purpose. When tha late Mar«hall Jewell was Postmaster Gener al, and tbe find Berlin Convfetjon, establishing the rniver»i Postal Union bad fixed the international rateofMelex" at Ave cants, Oovsstu.r Jo* #11 ohnoan •d the idea than |t would ba eninont ly proper to have the V|g nelte ol Grxj, I apoh the new stamp. Ha coHehtsri photogmnhs of General Grant and took them to the White House for the letMr to make a selection, hut General Grant promptly vetoed the proposition, and suggested that the head of his old commander, frehary Taylor, should ba used. In the present rose thr Dep«n m -nt offlewm UBere that a* the two

- -- — cent stamp will be the popular denomination tbe vign»-ua of Washington, as in tbe oase of the present tbre*-ceni stamp, should appear up« it. Upon the two-cam stamp now in use w the bead of Gon«ral Andrew Jackson. Tbe three-cent denomination will be abolished, and if a double rate stamp or four-cent denomination should be detarminad upon tha h«-ad of Jackson would probably be adopted fori!. General Hasen called 1 1 cation to the fact that when the reduced rote* goes into effect, tha United 8ute« will have the cheapest lwt r postage in the world. The imowmii stamp will he equivalent iu value, it i* true, ta tha English pen uy stamp, but when is taken into ec count tbe fort that a two cent stamp wtU carry a letter in tbi* country isajckj miles and aba Knaliah paony stamp but a few liundreti* of mile* the cnmjiarison is in favor of the United 8 alee. The Oldest Cow m Record. Tbe Hawk ins rill e Dispatch aars: The moat aged cow in Gum^i*— perhaps in the United State*— is owned by a citizen of Haw kiiis ville. The owner wisurea us that tbe oow is 100 yean old, and is now giving milk. When we mentioned the improbalality, in fart, the almost impossibility, of his oow being 100 yean old, the gtuitleman assured us thai she has belonged to his grand parents, groat grand parents, and other ancestors, and that then is no doubt that the oow is 100 yean al age. We oan aay for the owner ol tho oow — the gentleman who makes the statement— that he is one of our moat esteemed dtixans, one not soon* turned to exaggerate, and whose word baa never been doubted. The gentleman is Afty yean of age, and is a memIter of one of the old and noted M the State. T.
