New HAVEN. March q. 1885


Last night there happened one OF those occurrences
viii ch have but seldom happened heretofore Mr. Fiske
p Brewer, tutor in Ysle College having in
cause the almost univ al dislike OF the students
assaulted BY them in body last night At about
quarter after the students began congregae be-
fore bs room South College building There deiioe.
Iaty they began to break up bricks and smash in the
shutters. These hurry svinced, but they did it
all calmly if show that they determined to
let the tutor know that he had gone much too far.
Afterwards about quarter of twelve, few students
went up to break into his room supposing that Mr..
Brewer was not in, from his not having shown him
self Mr. Brewer was however, in the passage and
seized the FIRST adventurer Who it seems struck him
the head with q club, also with his fists. The stu
then broke into his and broke al the sashes
of his windows furniture af er which they
went away such have but seldom happened
heretofore Mr.. Brewers injuries not very great.
Some twenty engaged in the act while about forty
or fifty were gathered around them. WAtchmen were
placed the yard but they took part in queing TIE
tumut II is an occurrence much to be regretted, and
certainly unmanly undignifec the part Of the
students, and nothing justify them In the commits
zion but II extenuat ting ccumsts pces have any weight

CHINESE SUGAR CANE.-A. G. Gamer
on, Esq, Editor of the Charlton Mail,
who has cultivated the Chinese Sugar
Cane, writes us as follows:
The Chinese Sugar Cane is peculiarly
well adapted to the soil and climate OF
Iowa. 1t will, without doubt, make an
excellent fodder for cattle, and from it
a be made a good article of sugar, if
properly managed, there is no doubt.
In regard to my manner of cultivation,
| would say that | prepared the ground
the same as for Indian corn, and planted
the cane the 9th of June. This, as you
are aware, was late, but the backwardness
OF the spring prevented me from plant
ing sooner. The cane was planted in
hills, about Is inches apart, about 90
grains in q hill. My reason for planting
so thickly, was that I had some doubt
whether the seeds would grow, as a great
many of the seeds I received from the
Patent Office did not terminate, espeoi-
ally the garden seeds. TIE stalks Of cane
| send you were cut on the 10Th of Sep
tember, making 1o2 days in coming to
perfection. Ii used for fodder, | believe
two crops can be raised in one year il
planted early.-Loa0a Farmer.

One day, at the table of the late DR.
Peasc dean of Ely, just as the cloth
was being removed, the subject of dis
course happened to be that of an extra
ordinary mortality among the lawyers.
1--WE have LOST said a gentleman, ''not
less than sir eminent baristers in as many
months" The Dean, who was quite
deaf, rose as his friend finished his re-
marks, and gave the company grace
'.For this and every other mercy, the
Lords name be praised!" The effect
was irresistible.

CLEARING AND DRAINING MARSH LANDS.
Relieved from the pressure Of other
teamwork, we may now take advantage
Of the dry state of our swamps to prose-
cute the work of clearing and draining.
The retaining of marshes is a matter OF
much Importance to those whose farms
are disfgured by such waste places.
They are not like wood lots, constantly
increasing in value, but are wholly USE
less, and often the source of malaria, in
furious to all within its influence. And
when cleared and drained, they become
the most easily cultivated and productive
portion of the farm, often paying in a
single year, the whole expense of bring
ing them into condition for cropping.
Ditching may, in most instances, be
best performed in autumn, but the work
of clearing then commenced can be con-
'inued in winter, as long as the depth of
the snow will permit, The bushes will
cut easier then-the timber Of shrubs
growing IN such places generally proving
brittle when frozen. In a black alder
swamp considerable fuel can be saved
the fine brush may be burnt at once, with
proper attention TO starting and supply
ing the fire, or may b, LETT in heaps 10
dry until early summer AS soon as
drained and cleared, most farmers SOW
with ats and stock with timothy and red
top, with no other cultivation than a
thorough narrowing. A fine sod will
Dol form, either for pasture 0 r moving;
or the land may be cultivated in corn,
potatoes, and different spring grains

The Muck BED.--There is a place
too often unworked, which contains un-
told wealth to the farmer. Il is a we'll
established fact, that two loads of muck,
which may be generally had at the cost
Of draining, composed with one load Of
animal manure, furnishes three loads OF
fertili4ing material equal to barnyard
manure. Let not this means of increas-
ing the product Of the farm remain un-
employed. Add muck to the manure
from The stables, spread it over The yards,
use it freely. Ii sufficiently dry, it forms
a capital bedding material for stabbed
animals, absorbing the liquid manures,
and becoming thoroughly Incorporated
with the solid.

CoRN AND Coz MEAL.--Our expert
ence heretofore in regard to its use is this
For those animals that chew the cud, it
Is a most excellent provender, but for
those that do not, it is not so valuable.
Thus, for oxen, cows, and sheep, it is a
capital feed. These animals, after what
they swallow in the uarm vat, called the
first stomach or paunch, have the facul-
~ of throwing it up again in small por-
tons called cud, and chewing it over in
q leisurely manner until it is ground very
fine, and then after being thus thoroughly
mingled with the saliva, swallowing it
again into another stomach, where all its
nutritiye matter is extracted by the pro-
per organs created for that purpose.
The horse and the hog having no such
organs to rc-chew, do not derive so much
benefit from the ground cob, as the ami
mails above named.
Hens derive more benefit from corn
and cob meal, than they do from corn
meal alone. In fowls of this class there
Is an apparatus analogous to animals thai
chew the cud.
First they take dry food into their
crops here it becomes soaked, as if ii
were in a warm vat from that it passes
into the gizzard, which, furnished with
gravel stones, acts the part of grinding
fine, by aid of the strong muscles of that
organ. whatever passes into it. Here,
the particles of the cob meal thoroughly
pulverised and mingled with the gastric
juices, becomes dissolved, and form nu-
triton for the body.
We do not mean to say that corn and
cob meal is not good provender for horses
and hogs, but that they do not derive so
much benefit from pound for pound, or
bushel for bushel, as COWS, oxen, &C.,
do.-Naine Farmer.

LARGE PUNCH DowL.-Mr. Gallot, one
evening, was warm in his praises of the
Inequalities of the mother country. Amid
other instances, he quoted n of the
Rutland punch bowl which, on the chris
tening of the Marquis, was built so big
that a large boat was set sailing upon it,
in which a boy sat, who ladled out the
liquor. 81 guess" said one of the COM
pany, GIVE seen a punch bowl that 'ud
beat that to immortal smash; for at my
brothers christening, the bowl was so
deep that when we young 'uns said it
want sweet enough, father sent a man
down in a diving bell to stir up the sugar
at the bottom!'
''Slocum, how is it to-day-can you
take that note up?' 'I'm sorry to say l
can't-never was SO cramped in my life"
"By the way, you are always cramped,
are you not?" I'm sorry to say I am;
and vet there is "a natural cause for it,"
What is that?' ''Why I was weaned
on green apples and w~ater-mclons.
One of our exchanges says: at is a
popular idea that courtship was the con-
sequence of the original SIM" We don't
know how that may be, but it is plain
enough that a good deal Of original sin
is the consequence Of courtship LED

boots of a good moral character mean
