A JOKE FOR TIIE LADIES.—An editor ofa paper
lately informed his readers that the ladies :always pull off
the left stocking last, This, as may be supposed, created
some stir among his fair readers, and while in positive terms
they denied the statement, they insisted that he had no ,
business to know it elm. if suck were the, suet, and pro.;
neunced him no gentleman. Ho proves it, however, by--a. r
short argument—" When one stocking is pulled off, there
is another left on ; pulling off this is taking the left stock-
ing off last."—American Paper.

[ADVERTISEMENTI—ThorIey's Food for Cattle is now
beginning to seriously '
attract the attention of the farmer,
breeder, and. feeder of stock. Two years of unremittini
•
care and attention have enabled its inventor to take hit
ground as a benefactor to these interests; and notwithstand-
ing the many drawbacks, the malevolent shafts hurled
against it and its probable utility, the food, from its admitted
value, will become a necessity to the 'agricultural interest.
Experience has proved, first, that it effects a considerable
saving in the consumption of provender; secondly, that it
produces health and vigour in all animals subjected to its
influence : and lastly, increases in a remarkable degree an
early development of fat. Mr. Thorley, originating this
singularly efficacious food, aimed at a compound calculated
to supersede, to a certain extent, the tediouh and expensive
mode then prevailing of fattening stall-fed beasts. In this
he happily succeeded ; and success prompted a very natural I
desire to improve upon the invention, so as to make it ap-
plicable to every description of domestic animal. The Eng-
lish farmer was slow to encourage its use, and manifested an
unwillingness to rely 'upon its efficacy, fancying he possessed
in the produce of his farm, ample materials whereby to feed
and fatten his cattle at a cheaper rate than by the amploymont
or addition of artificial foOd. The tests to which this food has
been subjected have proved its perfect admissibility as a cheep
addition to the natural produce of the farm ; inasmuch as in
realised, and rendered marketable in two-:thirds of the time
usually consumed in developing fat ; it, therefore, becomes
apparent that a certain saving is effected by a fair application
of Thorley's Compounded Food. It is believed that the present
unprecedented low price of wheat has induced its very gene-
ral use, in preference to any other of the usual articles of
food ; it is, however, much questioned whether wheat is a
nourishing and proper food for the working horse, certainly
it is not for cows or pigs. Mr. Thorley's Food, besides
possessing the advantage of greatly invigorating the health
and increasing the physical power of all animals, is a tonic
and gentle stimulant,. and when mixed with their other
Ifood, materially assists their digestive powers—a matter of
great consequence, since •it is an undoubted fact that the
nourishment contained in then orginary food is lost, conse-
quent upon the impaired or defective action of the digestive
organs ; it will also be found to be particularly beneficial
in restoring to good working condition horses which have
been over-worked, or become weak from disease, or ar,
naturally of a feeble constitution. In cows its effects are
undoubted, indeed almost marvellous, nearly doubling the
yield of milk and butter, whilst it at the same time enriches
the quality of both. In pigs its fattening qualities are still
more remarkable, displaying in a few weeks its manifest
superiority over every other kind of compound or manu•
factured food adopted in tho feeding of swine. such has
been its marked success, that at all our great cattle shows,
Royalty, noblemen, and others who have fed their cattle
on Thorley's Food, have invariably carried off the principal
prizes, whilst cards of commendation have been awarded.
£he patronage of Royalty, of our principal nobility, the
clergy, and of our leading agriculturists, must prove a
great incitement to this gentleman to pursue his onward
course; and he may
,confidently rely, in producing so
highly-favoured a compound, on a coutiunatifni of suck
high and -listinguished patronage..
