Abolition Lecture

EDITOR FREEMAN We were, last Sabbath
morning, favored with lecture from Miss Sal
ly Holley, an Agent of the Anti-Slavery Socie-
ty and as she is to spend few weeks in YER
mont, it may not be amiss to assure those whose
privilege it may be of hearing her, (if they will
avail themselves of it, that there is in store
for them ga feast of reason and a flow of SOUL
1t is not carrying Goals to Newcastle to preach
Anti-Slavery in Republican Vermont, as many
endeavor to make us believe when they refuse to
open the doors of Christian churches to those
who proclaim liberty to the captive, and the
opening of prison doors to them that are bound.
30 long as we have not an inch of soil in all
Vermont where the hunted fugitive can with
safety rest his weary feet, it will do us no harm
to listen most reverently to Miss Holley's earn
est and eloquent appeals. She is lady of re-
finenIentand education, largeshaartcd and sym
pathetic, womanly in her manners, and devoted
to her labors with an earnestness of purpose
that cannot fail to impress her hearers.
She pleads the cause of the oppressed from
motives of duty and sympathy. While so many
''omea are suffering the iniquities Of Slavish
bondage in her own native land, she feels that
she can at least be excused for raising her wo-
mans voice in their behalf; and it is almost
certain that none who hear her can fail to bid
her Gods speed, and invoke upon her head
Heaven S choicest blessings MRs.-.

HAY CAps.-These articles we wish to
keep before the people. We are pursuaded
from our own experiences and observation,
that no small investment in tools to work
with will hay better than hay caps. Hay
cured in the cock is much better than that
overdried in the sun. With these arti
Giles on hand, the farmer is master
of his circumstances, and can throw
the old adage, " Make hay while the sun
Shines" to the winds. At least, he can stop
making it before the juice is all evaporated,
and can put his hay into cock, without fear
of rain, to finish the curing process in the
best manner. A single shower will often
damage ton of half-dried hay four Or five
dollars. The hay caps, to save it, would
not cost much more, They are almost Ger.
tain to pay for themselves every season they
are used, and in some wet seasons they will
save several times their cost. They can
be got up Tor from twenty to forty cents
apiece, according to size and quality. For
an ordinary cock, weighing about hundred
pounds, cap one yard and half square is
P'enty large ohouSh. 1o ID WciI, HOWeNcf,
to have few of two yards square for extra
sized cocks, for the tops of stacks, and the
shocks Of grain which arc not put up to

caps are generally made by persons who do
not understand the use of them They are
best put on with loops at the corners, and
pins and with little experience in hand
ling, the ordinary force upon a farm in hay
ing time will be able to secure mornings
moving against all showers that give any
notice of their coming. 1t is very little
work to make them, they need no painting
and they do protect the hay. Get them ii

ravages of the moths after they have COM
menced eating. Then they pay no regard to
the presence of camphor, cedar or tobacco;
in fact, | rather think they enjoy the latter,

will the dreaded and inconvenient taking up
and beating always insure success, for I tried
it faithfully, and, while mailing down, found
several of the worms alive and kicking, that
had remained under the pile unframed, |
conquered them wholly in this way: I took
coarse crash towel and wrung it out of
clean water and spread it smoothly on the
carpet, then ironed it dry with good hot
iron, repeating the operation on all suspec-
ted places, and those least used. 1t does not
injure the pile or color Of the carpet in the

steam being the agents and they do the
work effectually on worms and eggs. Then

Haymaking.

Much has been said, written and reitera-
ted about the proper time for cutting hay, in
order to retain all the fourishing juices.
Most farmers concur in saying that the right
time is after the grass has attained maturity
on the ground, previous to that dryness
which causes the seed to shell out.
For timothy the time of cutting is at
hand lin my opinion) when the blossoms COM
mence dropping from decay.
If the farmer has great many acres to
go over, and the work is to be done by hand,
it will be essential to begin cutting quite
early, in order that the later moving be
net dried up, and the heart of the hay dis
sipated by the whitening and absorbing in
Huence of the atmosphere but horse-powers
and patent mowers are now in such extensive
use that no intelligent farmer will attempt
a large job without patronizing their superior
facilities for accomplishing labor.
Early in June is uncertain and risky, as
we seldom have more than one or two fair
days at time. Three or four acres of hay
cut, part lying in the winrow, and the bal
ance in heaps, and in this situation "weath-
er a week Of rain, is not just the thing for
fodder here the advantage of horse power
machinery is apparent even to fogies,"
who shall protest against these rapidly ad-
vancing innovations las they term them) Of
science and intellect, in their application to
farm economy. In concluding my remarks, L
would observe that the cultivation of grass
is productive Of large peeuniary results, and
the beauty Of well-kept lawn will not be-
spoken of disparagingly even by the most
sordid declaimer against the inutility of nom
productive gardening. IF it were not for the
deep, almost perpetual verdure which be-
decks rural England she would not at the
present time accupy so exalted position in
suburban matters. 1t is her green fields to
which she owes those delightful cottages
which embosom her home-loving people,
And why do they cherish remembrances, even
to an advanced age, of the l." cot - wherein
they commenced the battle of life simply
for the reason that their homes were made
Eden-liko, with grassy lawns, trailing ivy,
fragrant flowers, delicious fruits refreshing
vistas Of land and water, lowing herds and
vast forests these combined, have done
more for English rural life, and English ed
ucation than all the ermined law-ma kers.
