Age of Bikds.-.— The eagle, raven, swan 

 and parrot are each centenarians. An 

 eagle kept in Vienna, died after a con- 

 tiuement of lU years, and on an old oak 

 in Shelborue, still known .as the '-raven 

 tree, " the same pair of ravens are be- 

 lieved to have fixed their residence for a 

 series of more than ninety years. Swans 

 upon the river Thames, about whose 

 ages there can be no mistake, since they 

 are annually nicked by the Vintner's 

 Company, under whose charge they have 

 been f orthe last five centuries, have been 

 known to survive 150 years and more. 

 The melody of the dying swan is mytho- 

 logical. Upon approach of death the 

 bird quits the water, sits down upon the 

 bank, lays its head upon the ground, ex- 

 pands its wings a trifie and expires, ut- 

 tering no sound. — Ex.

JOHN ROCK, San Jose. 



A Suit growing out of the purchase of 

 a twenty-five cent package of turnij) 

 seed has just been finally decided by the 

 New Jersey court of errors and appeals, 

 after a litigation of six years. The seed 

 was represented as producing early tur- 

 nips, whereas the crop was a late one 

 and poor at that. Hence, a suit for dam- 

 ages and a verdict of about one hundred 

 dollars, although the defendants proved 

 they had no intention of defrauding 

 their customer. They appealed to the 

 common pleas, to the supreme court and 

 to the court of errors in succession, but 

 the Justice's decision was sustained in 

 every instance.

A jtKTHOD of curing skins without re- 

 moving the hair is given by a correspon- 

 dent in tho Fancier's Journal: Take about 

 ten gallons of soft water, one-half bushel 

 of wheat bran, seven pounds of suljihuric 

 acid; dissolve all together and put the 

 skins iu the solution and allow them to 

 remain twelve hours; take them out and 

 clean them well and again immerse twelve 

 hours more, or longer, if necessary. 

 The skins may then be taken out, well 

 washed and d'ri^d. They can be beaten 

 oft, if desired.

Alfalfa is perennial in the strictest 

 sense of the term. A single planting 

 will endure tor a quarter of a century, 

 or, for that matter, forever, and the yield 

 is simply astonishing. Year after year 

 the well attended alfalfa will yield its 

 twelve and twenty tons of hay, in month- 

 ly or qtiarterly cuttings. Whether pas- 

 tured, or fed green or cured, it affords 

 a most healthy and nutritious diet for 

 all kinds of stock. The sheep, the hog, 

 the milch cow and the horse thrive upon 

 this luxuriant grass and require but little 

 grain.
