CoBBLE STONE FOR FLo0Rs. From COM
ninnication. by Gen r. Harmon, of Wheat.
land, in the New York Chronicle, we extract
the following:
Farmers would find it much 70 their iDtcres.
to pare the floors Of forse.sahlcs, their cow
and wa.on-houScs, and their bog pens, will,
small stones. For horses. stone floors are
more favorable than wood, as when thew
stand on wood their honfs become dry and
hard, and arc more liable to break, whilo
they do not hold thr shoe as well. Stone
floors wei! put down will last an age. whereas
wood soon decays. ard many d i:ie horse has
been lost thereby. Some farmers nav con-
cclve that stone floor is hard to hsild and
keep in order, but this is not the case. have
stable floors that have been down thirty years,
which are rs good as when laid. and h0g-pen
that have been down twenty years, and in
spite OF the hogs roofing, they have not
raised one stone. Yet these floors were not
put down by q profcssed pascr--I laid .hcm
with my own hands.
The stones used in paving should be from
four to ten inches in length. Before having
them, get the ground into the shape you wish
the floor. ard cover ii with three inches Of
sand. Commence laying the stones on the
SIDE under which the mangcr ur trough is 10
be, going through with one course. and then
following with another. If Tie stones are not
round, they should be set on the smallest end
witt a little slant and in laying the larger
ones. scoop out sand so that the top ci TIA.
stones are even. After having finished laying.
60 over the whole surface with malet.
pounding the stones down until they are So
solid that they will no longer yield TO ts4o
mallet. Then cover them with !.nc sand and
after this becomes dry, sweep 1t flo,n enc
side to the other TIL every clevrc is complete
filled. Thus you will have floor that will
last as long as any man may desire.
For horses, the floor should begin to drop
oil i've feet from where their fore feet stand,
and gutter shonld be formed so as to carry
off all liqnids If the floor is Wei laid it
will soon become 50 tight that liquids will
not sink into it. For COWS, fonr fec. is suili.
"icnt for the level If the floor is Of the right
descent and the CRITTERS are dropped four or
five inches. it viii tend much to keep tho
ANIMALS dry and clean.

Value Of Corn Stalks,

A writer in the GcncSee Farmer, says the
best time to feed out coinsalks is in the cold.
est weather. That is to say. VIC presume,
that cattle will cat what they do not relish,
best when ;hcy ale hunsricst Z: and in cold
weather all animals have the best appetite
and are least particular about their feed -
This writer recommends to cut up the stalks,
and when YOU feed them out. simply to sprn.
kle meal on them the wctting and soak ng
is an important thing omitted. He proceeds
t. say Another way is to steam the stalks
and meal together; and then the cattle will
cat all of the stalks up; whereas if you feed
them out without cutting. the stock will only
eat Just the leaves oil, and leave the stalk
which is the very best part" The good
common sense which ?ervadts the article,
makes the opinion Of the writer that the stalk
is the very part worthy of especial considera-
ton. We agree with him entirely SO far as
we can judge AS to the manure made by
the mixture of wcathercd stalks and The drop
pings of cattle in an open miry, leachy, barn
yard. which every farmer of the old fogy
stamp whom we speak about this waste,
claims TO be SO valuable that he realises more
BY the stalks thus, than if they were fed
we do not think much of sucE manure. any
way, and still less if the stalks are as usually
the case, long and tough.

SCARLETINA AND MEASLES Mr.. Witt,

SCARLErINA AND MEASLES. Mr. Witt, a
member of the Royal College Of Surgeons. has
published pamphlet in which he states that
bicai Donate OF ammonia is specific for Tie
cure of scarlet fever and measles. He cites
Dr. Pcart, of Liverpool, and other practition-
trS, who have never lost case out of hum
drcds since adopting this remedy. Two
drachms Of the bicarbonate of ammonia are
dissolved in five ounces Of water, and two
tablpsroonsiull of the solution given every
two, three OF four hours, according to tie ur.
gency of the symptoms. No acid drink must
he taken, but only water, or toast and water.
The system Is TO be moved by dose of
calonel, if necessary. The room must he
well ventilated, but the patient protected from
the slightest cold or draft. Galges should
also be employed for clearing the throat
The ammonia Seems to counteract the poison
which causes the scaileiina, and also acts on
the. system by diminishing the frequency and
at the same time increasing the strength of
heru!>c. AS so many children die f,om
these diseases in this country, this remedy
ought to have a fair trial from the profession.

THE OTHER SIDE.

breakfast was just over at the parson-
age the table was cleared away, the
CHAIRS set back, and Mrs. Ashton, in a
neat morning dress, with pretty little
cap on her pretty little head, was stand
ins with her arm over her tall husbands
shoulder, looking at the morning paper.
And as fine looking pair they were, as
you will be likely to see in q summers
day. The Rev. Clement Ashton was,
indeed, said to be the handsomest man
In the parish, and that with good reason
whether he ever had any ideas Of his
own on the subject, was entilcly his own
affair.
Mrs. Ashton, as she was styled by the
parish-Christiana, as her godiathers and
godmothers named hcr-Chrissey, as her
brothers and husband called her-was
not usually regarded as remarkably
handsome. Her features were not very
regular, and she was not fair: but her
eyes, SO bright and clear, her figure so
elastic and trim, her abundant hair, and
above all, her frank easy manners, and
the expression Of sunny good temper and
perfect opcnncss which lighted up her
face, made most people consider her
very attractive woman. Every one i'll
the parish liked her, from the two old
people who sat in the warm corner near
The stove in church, and always came
round to get their dinner at the parson-
age on Sundays, to Mrs. DIR. Rush, who
was by far the grandest lady in the
parish.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ashton had been married
about six months, after an engagement
of almost three years, during which time
they had correspondent vigorously, but
had seen very little Of each other, for
Mr.. Ashton was an assistant in an over
grown parish in one of our large cities,
and could seldom be spared aud Chris
sey was teacher in another great city,
where she supported herself, and helped
by her labors to educate one of her
brothers for the ministry. 1t was not
till this brother had finished his studies,
and was placed on an independent foot
ing, that she had consented to be mar
ricd.
George cannot support himself
entirely" she said, in answer to the
remonstrancc of her lover; &C he is not
strong enough to labor as many of the
young men do, and he needs my help
l know that he has talents which will
make him eminently useful in the calling
he has chosen | know, too, that if he
attempts any more than he is doing, his
health will fail, and he will become dis
couraged. You must content yourself
to board awhile longer with your good
friend, Mrs. Thomas, Clement"
And to this resolution she steadfastly
adhered, despite Clements rersuasions,
and those Of George himself, who was
very much distressed at the thought that
his sisters marriage should be put off
on his account. Under those clrcum-
stances, the lovers did not see much of
each other, and they were finally mar
ricd, without Chrissey's ever having sas-
pcctcd her husband of any infrmity of
temper. She had suffered much on dis
covering that such was the case, and
felt inclined sometimes to wish that she
had never been Disseminated but she
was wise woman; she knew her hus-
bands intrinsic excellenccs and strength

all day, think | should hardly have rot
up my courage now. Bat if You are not
angry, am glad that have told You
all that was in my heart for indeed,
my dear, it has been sad, aching heart
this long time. And now | must tell
you how those two un!ucky shirts came
to be buttoulcss."
i" No, don't say one word about them,
my love-" said Clement, peuitently.-
81 will never complain again, if the
sleeves are missing US well as the
buttoiis."
"Bat must tell you, because | really
mean to have my housekeeping affair, in
as good order rs any one. | was looking
over your shirts yesterday afternoon, and
had put them al! to rights but these two,
when Mrs. LcnLox came in, in great
distress, to say that her sisters child
was much worse, and thcy feared dying
so | dropped all, and went oyer there
You know how it was. No one had any
calmncss or presence Of mind. The
chlld's Commissions were indeed frightful
to witness; the mother was in Mysteries,
and Mrs. Lcunox worse than nobody at
all. 1t was nearly midnight before |
could get away, and meantime, Amy had
put the room in order, and restored the
shirts TO their places"
Amy now put her head into The room.
"If you please, missus, young woman
i'll the kitchen would like to sec missus
minute"
Missus arose and went out into the
kitchen, and Mr.. Ashton, taking can
die from the table, entered tie study and
locked himself in. Chrissey waited for
him a long time, and at last went and
tapped at the door. 1t was opened with
Il warm embrace and fcrvent kiss, and
though there were not many words spo-
ken on either side, there was light in the
eyes Of both husband and wife, which
showed that the understanding vas per-
feet between them.
But | do think, nevertheless, that
mems wives ought to sew on their
buttons.
