GLEANINGS.

Thkre is said to be a farm in Worcestershire, England, which stands in twelve parishes and pays different, rates. A Pear tree here and a peach tree there cost so little that one is incliued to think they are of no account, but when the fruit is ripe they are appreciated. The mane of a horse may be made to grow on one side by plaiting it in locks and weaving pieces of wire in the plaits. The growth may soon be forced in the desired direction. Remember that there is always a market for fine horses — good horses — of almost any breed, as always is for the best of anything that the farmer can grow. Raise the best if you wish to raise the most money. Calves Suckling Themselves.— A correspondent writes to the Rural New Yorker that he found a complete remedy for this habit in the liberal application of cayenne pepper two or three times to the parts sucked. No evil effects resulted either to the sucker or sucked. Another correspondent writes that the use of common pine tar — applied, we suppose, to the part usually sucked — will prevent the habit.
