years both in France and America with unparallel'

thousand ladies, who have used them, to make tho
Pills Public, for the alienation of those suherin

GOOD HORSE PRov1NDER.

The best provi Eder that we over gave
to . horse was a mixture of two-thirds
oatmeal and one-third corn meal. The
oatmeal had been thought by some ply
biological chemists to contain much mus
Gle or Aesh-forming matter, and the corn
meal to contain much fa~t-forming ma te-
rial, and therefore, when combined to-
gether, we get both principles combined.
Our experience with this feed corrobo-
rates the obove theory.
A writer over the signature of ". w.
B., in the RuraI Ne10 Yorker of the
2lst, recommends a mixture of oats and
rye for horses. We think this plan of
raising the two together, pretty good,
and We therefore copy it.
l had" says he, "a conversation
with a man lately, who was an exper-
enced Farmer, having farmed both in
this state New York; and Ohio and his
manner of horse feed was this 1 take
about 81 bushels of oats, and mix with
them one bushel of rye, SOW this amount
to the acre. The rye will support the
oats in case of a heavy growth, and pre-
vent lodging. In this manner I have
raised sixty, seventy, and even eighty
bushels per acre" The soil must have
been very strong to do that, but the
is about in tie right proper
ton.

Il desirable. The absorption of e~aloric,
which becomes latent in melting snow,
prevents a sudden transition from the
chill of winter to the warmth of spring.
If it we're not for this, vegetation would
start too early, and all the fruit and
tender plants would be nipped by vernal
frosts. As the seasons are nov consti-
tuted, the sun must at least cross the
equator, and the length of days exceed
that of the nights, before the snow melts
from the hillside, and disappears in the
vale. Ithas then performed its mission,
a gentle and merciful one, whatever may
have been its chill and f~orboding aspect
in the early autumn.
A locality that experiences abundant
falls of snow. which cover the ground

THE sH-EEP-sHEARINa MACHINE.

Most of our readers have probably
heard something in regard to this ma
chine, though it is very likely that the
account of it has been received with some
incredulity. That the shearing of sheep
can be successfully done, BY machinery,
is an achievement which affords another
evidence that this is an inventive age.
We saw this machine in operation at the
late show of the New York State Agri-
cultural Society. It was used to cut
the wool from a dried skin, having been
FIRST moistened SO that it could be press
ed oVer a block in such a way as to pre-
sent q smooth surface. The apparatus
is q ibox, about the size and some
thing of the shape of q common brict.
It is fastened to the arm of the shearer,
who works the cutting part by moving
. lever with his hand SO as to produce .,
rapid oscillating motion of the knives.
The knives are shielded by guards, sim
liar in principle to those which are used
for moving machines, and although they
can be made to cut very close, it is im
possible for them to cut the skin. The
machine seemed to work more rapidly
than shears ordinarily do, and the wool
was cut very evenly-the staple
being cut more than once The invent
or stated hat he had sheared a sheep in
twelve minutes, but he did not tell the
weight of the fleece, and We are without
any means of comparing this mode with
the ordinary way of shearing, assto dis.
The name of the inventor is P.
of Burr Oak, St. Joseph's
county, Michigan. The machine is made
by Alexander Allen, of Rochester, N.
Y. The price is S10.-Boston C1Iti-
zokor.

BLESSINGS or POVERTY.

Here what a distinguished writer says
on the subject =
Poverty is the nurse of manly energy,
and heaven elinging to the thought ar
tended by love, and faith, and hope,
around whose steps mountain breezes
blow, and from whose countenance all
the virtues gather strength. Look
around you upon the distinguished men
that in every departments of life guide
and control the times, and inquire what
was their origin, and what were their
early fortunes. Were they. as a gene
raj rule, rocked and handled in the lap
of wealth No ! such men emerge from
the homes of decent competence or strug-
Cling poverty. Necessity sharpens their
faculties, and p~rivation and sacrifice
brace their moral nature. They learn
the great art of ren~unciation, and enjoy
the happiuess Of having few wants. They
know nothing of indifference or safety,
There is not an idle fibre in their frames.
They put the vigor of q resolute purpose
into every act. The edge of their minds
is always kept sharp. In the schools of
life, men like these meet the softly nur.
tured darlings of prosperity, as tine iron
meets b vessels of porcelain.

ILLINOIS FARMS AND FARM1NG.-A
Western correspondent says Farming
here is a very lucrative business. 1t is
no unusual thing to find farmers who
have raised the present seaso from a.
900 to 5000 bushels of corn, from L.
900 to 5000 bushels of wheat, and oats,
and barley, and potatoes, and pumpkins,
and squashss, and hay in large quanti-
ties. Cattle from 80 to 100 head, hors-
es numerous, and hogs from SO to 500.
Palmyra, Lee Co., is considered n of
the best farming towns in Northern Hi
nois. Wheat yields about so bushels
to the acre, and corn from 40 to so
bushels per acre, averaging about go.
One man here has cut, he says, 4 tons
of timothy to the acre. Another says he
has raised 10 bushels of oats per acre.
One man, who has raised about 1000
bushels of corn, has done it with the La
Dor of about three men, having two
hired men and two boys whose labor
one man. They have harvested
and threshed about 1000 bushels of
wheat, got 60 tons Of hay, and plowed 65
acres for the next crop.-RN1GL Nelo
