CoRN STALKs.-The best time, place
and way of feeding out corn stalks, is in
the coolest weather we have but as far
as that is concerned, cattle will eat them
any time. if they are fed to them in the
way that l am about to state. propose
in the first place to cut up the stalks with
a straw-cutter, fine enough to suit the
farmer; and when you give the stalks to
the cattle, or whatever You see fit to feed
them to. sprinkle meal on them. Anoth-
or way is to steam the stalks and meal
together. and then the cattle will eat all
the stalks up; whereas if you feed them
out without cutting. the stock will only
eat just the leaves of, and leave the stalk,
which is the very best part of the corn
stalk; and when the stalks are out for
manure, all farmers can plainly see that
they will not rot or compost, and there
fore make It bad for handling manure !;
but where they are cut up they viii not
bother the person in so doing. The best
place and form that / know is to feed
them in the stable have boxes or troughs
for the cattle to cat from and then i
consider that they will not waste so many
of the stalks as they otherwise would

The Game of Euchre.

It was a sweet AMI balmy morning in
April, that We took passage on the Con-
cordia for one Of the up-Tiver landings.
As is the case on most of our packets.
the company was pleasant one-socia-
bic and tolerably well acquainted. 1t
was no difficult matter to insinuate" a
game of Euchre, by way of relieving the
monotony of the trip. A tall, hardy son
of the woods, roughly clad, and with his
rife hard by in a corner, had been sitting
near by. with a half-disconsolate. half
decided look, during most of the game,
and was finally invited, when a vacant
seat occurred, to "take hand"

ply, al tells you no, sirs"
The reply was given in so emphatic a
manner, and with such apparent fervor Of

game Of our country.
He was Intercepted, therefore, to this

A GAME OF "PoKER" IN CALIFORNIA.
"A friend just up from New Orleans,
where he met several persons who had
recently returned from California, relates
very amusing anecdote, which occurred
at a card table in the "gold regions" of
that country. ItAppears that four per-
sons had seated themselves in the mines,
to play a game of poker-the ante, as the
substitute for money. being handful Of
gold dust. They continued playing some
time, without either side winning much
At length one of the party, who had a
good hand, went handful "better." 81

another, who had also "strong" hand.

putting it aside, coolly remarked to one
of his companions: s. Here, Jim, watch

NsefllI ano Curious
what 70 do in Cases Of Aecident.

If man faints away, instead Of yell
ling out like a savage, or running to him
to lift him up. lay him at full length on
his back on the floor, loosen the clothing.
push the crowd away so as to allow the

Dashing water over person in a simple
fainting ct is a barbarity, an soils the
clothing unnecessarily. The philosophy
of fainting fit is. the heart fails to send
the proper supplyof blood to the brain if
the person is erect, that blood has to be
thrown up hill. but if lying down. it has
to be projected horizontally-which re-
quires less power, is apparent.
II person swallows poison. deliber-
ately or by chance, instead of breaking
out into multitudinous and incoherent ex-
CARNATIONS, dispatch some one for doc
tor; meanwhile run to the kitchen, get
half pint of water in any thing that is
handy, put into it teaspoon full of salt
and as much ground mustard, stir it an
instant, catch firm hold of the persons
nose. the mouth will soon fly open, then
down with the mixture, and in a second
or two up will come the poison. This
will answer in a larger number Of cases
than any other. If by this time, the
physician has not srrired, make the per-
son swallow the white Of an egg, follow
ed by strong cup of coffee, (because
these nullify larger number of poisons
than any other accessible articles, an an
tidote for any poison that may remain in
the stomach.

around the limb, then, twist it around,
tighter and tighter, until the blood ceases

blood ont in Jets. and the arteries get
their blood from the heart; hence, to
stop the flow the remedy must be applied
between the heart and the wounded spot
i'm other words, above the wound. If
a vein has been severed, the blood would
have flowed in a regular stream, and on
the other hand, the tie should be applied
below the wound, or on the other side of
the wound from the heart, and there is
no need of such great haste.

board is wider at one end than the other,
add the breadth of the two ends together,
and take the amount for the mean breadth;
then multiply this by the length and d.

Curious FACT In grIcs.-A ma
chine has been invented in France, by
which the undulations in the atmosphere
may be counted, which take place between
two individuals in conversation. The
wind in passing over the water, causes it
to ripple, and the voice when an individ-
ual speaks, produces certain vibrations in
the atmosphere, by which sound is COM

says that these pulsations, if they be so
called, caused by male voice. vary from
