ECoNoMIsE YOUR FODDER.-We recon-
mended little while ago, the use of straw cut
tiers, one means Of economsing fodder. The
present fall of snow, and the consequent earlier
use of fodder, make it necessary that economy
should be the order of the day-and of the night
too, in regard to fodder.
A good straw cutter will aid you most essen
tally in the business, fyou have straw or coarse
fodder to use up among your stock.
1t has been ascertained by careful experiments
of men of sense and close observation, that the
saving made by the use Of one ofthese machines
amounts to from one-6fih to one-fourth. This is
great saving. Twenty FIVE or even twenty per
cent interest on note you owed would make you
sweat, and every honest means that you can
adopt to save it, you would not be slow in taking.
We ask what is the great difference between
saving twenty or twenty Eve per cent, in your
fodder operations in the barn yard, or twenty or
twenty FIVE per cent in your counting room! 1t
is cash any way you can look at It,
Let US "cipher" about it little. Your stock
will use up twenty tons Of hay during the winter.
in the common, careless, sipshod way Of fodder
ing it out. fby cutting it and foddering it out
carefully, you can save one-ffth of it, you will
save four tons; or in other words, you can get
through tho winter with sixteen tons. To do
this you will have to buy straw cutter, which
will cost you, say twelve dollars, or, (if hay is
worth $40 per ton,) ton and fifth, or twenty
four hundred of hay. You therefore not only
pay yourself for the straw cutter, but make a
handsome saving besides Think it over, neigh-
Dor, and see FIVE are not right in this matter

HIsToRY OF ALCoHoL.-Alcohol was inven
ted $50 years ago, by the son of strange wo
man, Hagar, in Arabia. Ladies used it with
powder to paint themselves, that they might APP
pear more beautiful, and this powder was called
alcohol. During the reign of William and Ma
ry, an act was passed encouraging the manufac-
ture OF spirits. Soon after, lntemperance and
prohgacy prevailed to such an extent that the
retailers of intoxicating drinks put up signs in
public places informing the people that they might
get drunk for penny, and have some straw TO
get sober on,
In the 10th century distilled spirits spread over
the continent of Europe. About this time it was
introduced into the colonies, as the United States
were then called The first notice we have Of
its use in public life, was among the laborers in
the hungarian mines, in the 18th century. In
l75l it was used by the English soldiers as cor
dial.
The alcohol in Europe was made of grapes, and
sold in Italy and Spain as medicine. The Geno-
ese afterwards made it from grain and sold it as a
medicine in bottles under the Of the water Of
by the apothecaries as medicine. During the reign
Of Henry VII, brandy was unknown in ireland, and
soon its alarming effect induced the government to
pass law prohibiting its manufacture. About l20
years ago it used as beverage, especially
among the soldiers of the English colonies in North
America, under the preposerous notion that it pre-
vented sickness and made them fearless in the field
of battle. 1t was looked upon sovereign spe-
cihc. Snch is brief sketch Of the introduction of
alcohol into society beverage. The history Of
it is written in the Indebtedness, the tears, the
groans, the poverty and murder of thousands It
has marched the laad with the tread of giant,
leaving the impress of his footsteps in the bones,
sinews, and life's blood of the people. -z-

HoAxING LEARNED BoDIEs.-The broadcast
and most aughable attempt of this kind we ever
heard of, is related by the venerable Father Carey,
of Judge Breckenridge the elder. The Judge, it
seems, had mortal antipathy to philosophical soei-
cites, which was the more remarkable from his
being scientific and well-read man. But he at
length explained the mystery by stating that he had
been rejected by the American Philosophical Soci-l
ETY., of which he was candidate for membership.
in revenge for democratic vote he had given in the
legislature of Pennsylvania, against what was termed
the province money, and he resolved to be revenged
in return. He not only wrote his satiricaI work,
called Modern ChvalrY, but he pamed off upon that
body some most ridiculous receptions. Among other
things, he took his grandmother's fan, and having
ingeniousy twisted, gummed, painted, and prepared
it, sent it to the society the wing Of bait Father
Carey says, it was received with dine soIemnty and,
vote of thanks was passed to the donor. A debate
arose the species of bat to which it belonged
and committee of seven was appointed to ascertain
whether it was the wing of a Madagascar or Cana.
dian bat. The committee three weeks, and after
consulting Buttons Natural History, and Godsmith's
Animated Nature, they reported that it must have
belonged to Madagascar Bat. 1t was pronounced
the greatest curiosity in the Museums except large
sheet of brown paper, which he hung in the chimney
and disguised with SCOT and dirt, and palmed off
upon the society part of Brahmin's shirt.
