Turnips for a fall crop, must now be sown

varieties-the two first being the best for stock

All Crab Grass, Crowfoot and other grasses
must be cut when in blossom, and carefully

SAVE YOUR BACoN.-A bout a couple of years

friend with good old fashioned dinner of eggs
and bacon. We complimcnted our host on the
superior quality Of his bacon, and were curious
to inquire the way to like success in the pre-
paration of Il dainty article Of diet though
that is better fitted for the palate of epicure
than for the stomach of Il dyspeptic.-To
surprise We We're Informed that that portion Of
our meal was cooked eight months before. Up
OIL asking for a explanation, he stated that it
was his practice to slice aud fry his bacon, inn
mcdately upon its being cured, and then pack
it down in its own fat. When occasion came
for using it, the slices slightly rcfried. had all
the freshness and flavor of new bacon, just pre-
pared. BY this prccauton, our friend had al
ways succeeded in ''savin:, his bacon" fresh and
sweet through the hottest of weather.-N.

A MELANCHOLY CAsE-INF1DE1IrY, Cn1xs
AND DEATH.-An extremely painful case Of in
fidelity and its consequences has just been
developed in the village of Geneva. The facts
| are as follows: A gentleman residing in the
town of Seneca some two or three years ago
went to California, leaving his wife and two
children in the town. Some time subsequent
to his departure the wife formed an improper
intimacy with a man who visited her, the con-
sequences of which were becoming too apparent
every day, when, two or three weeks ago, she
received letter from her husband announcing
that he should soon leave for his home on tho
tlantc side In despair at her situation, she
sought the advice Of physician at Geneva,
who advised, or at least consented to per- :.
form an operation by which it was hoped her
disgrace might be concealed. The iady put up
at the Mansion House, where the operation
was performed, and she was deliTered, on Sat!
nrday morning last, of a living child, which,
however, breathcd bnt a few minutes. The
mother, "a victim to her own infdelity and dis.
grace, and to the outrage inflicted upon her
person, fingered in great mental and bodily

Calculations In Regard 10 Fodder.

1t is a great object to the farmers of Maine
to raise supply of the best kinds of fodder for
| their stock during the winter. Hay, We all
| know, is the great dcpendence-the staple ma
;erial for this purpose but there many other
crops which can be raised to advantage among
us, and which are very valuable for furnishing
food to stock, and thereby saving hay.
In order TO ascertain the real value of these
crops for the purpose above named, it will be
| necessary to compare the nhtrtive properties
of the several articles with good hay, as the
standard.
Experiments and close and careful compari-
son of the results of many trials. have given tho
following as the comparative Inference bet weeii
the articles mentioned and good hay. We have
published these results before, bat put
them in a tabular form, so as to give the reader
an easier mode of comparing them.
100 pounds OF hay are equal to-
275 pounds of green Indian corn,
442 pounds of rye Straw,
164 pounds oat straw,
153 pounds pea straw,
POI pounds of raw potatoes,
175 pounds of boiled potatoes,
339 pounds mnngel wurtzel,
5O4 pounds turnps;
81 pounds rye;
46 pounds wheat,
SO pounds oats,
45 pounds peas or beans,
81 pounds buckwheat,
81 pounds Indian corn.
% POUNDS NcOrnS,
l05 pounds wheat bran,
100 pounds rye bran,
167 pounds wheat pea; and Oat chaff,
l79 pounds rye and barley.
From this birds eye view," it will be easy
to calculate the fodder value of any of the
above articles which you may raise. For in
stance, if you have 5O4 lbs. of turnips they
will give much nutrition to your cattle as
100 los. of good hay. or, in other words, it will
take lbs of tnrnps to be equal to 10. Of hay.
An OK, it is sad requires per cent of hay
per day if he does not work, aud 81 per cent.
if he work. Suppose, therefore, you have an
OK that weighs 1900 lbs; he will require 80
lbs of hay per day if he does not work. But
you wish to feed him in part turnips. If you
give him Is lbs of hay, how many pounds Of
turuips must yon give him to make up the sup
ly =? Ans. IS lbs which, at SO lbs to tho
bushel, will be pecks.
Again, according to the table, little moro
than half pound of Indian corn is equal to q
pound of hay. If, therefore, you give the same
OK but Is lbs of hay, how much Indian corn
must he have to supply the Is lbs Ans. A
little over 81 lbs. Allowing corn to weigh SO
lbs. per bushel, it will take quarts and third
Allowing the estimates in the table to be
correct, they will be convenient guide to the
farmers in feeding cattle, &C., on other articles,
in order to their hay.

her weight per day. A sheep, full grown, 81
