The American Autumn.
Thou comest not in sober guise.
In mellow robe of russet clad

Thou comest not in sober guise.
In mellow robe ofrusset clad
Thine are no melancholy skies,
Nor hueless flowers, pale and sad;
But, like an emperor, triumphing,
With gorg ous robes of Tyrian dyes,
Full flush OF fragrant blossoming,
And glowing purple canopies.
How call ye this the seasons fall.
1hlt seems the pageant of the year.
Richer and brighter far than all
The pomp that spring and summer wear
Red falls the western Light of day
On rock. and stream, and winding shore;
Soft woody banks and granite gray
With amber clouds are cur.ained Ger;
The wide. clear waters sleeping lie
Beneath the evenings wings OF gold,
And on their glassy breast the sky
And banks their min gled hues unfold.
Far in the tangled woods, the ground
Is strewn with fallen leaves, that lie
Like crimson carpets all around
Beneath a crimson canopy.
The sloping sun, with arrows bright,
Pierce the forests waving maze:
The universe seems wrapt in light,
y floating robe of rosy haze.
Oh, Autumn thou art here a king
Aud round thy throne The smiling hours
\ thousand fragrant tributes bring.
OF golden fruits and blashing flowers.

Cutting Hay for Stock.

Some wears ago, correspondent OF
the Mass. Pioughman. Thos. w. Ward,
made some expe riments in regard to the
economy of cutting hay and corn tAd-er
for horses and cattle. The result was
in every way satisfactory. One effect Of
cutting fodder. brought to light by these
experiments, we have never seen alluded
to before The solid excrements of the
animals, in proportion to the food eaten.
were much heavier from the cvt than
from the uncut fodder. lrceher words.
they absorbed more liquid. This is an
importan' fact. The great loss in keep
ing manure in the tarn-yard is from
drainage; and it is qiite reason. olc that
cut fodder would absorb more liquid
than uncut. In England it has been
recommended and is to some extenc The
practice, to cut all the litter as well as
the fodder. The manure is shorter,snd
is sooner ready for the land, and can be
spread and plowed under more easily;
and undoubtedly absarbs more liquid
Mr.. ". says his experiments "show i
saving of about ei, hteen per cent. IN Ia
vor OF cut hay, and also an increase in
weigh, of excrement OF fifteen per cent. !"
Thus says Mr.. w., 1--WE spend less
hay and make more manure, which Is
the farmers capital" he says, in con-
clusion he will mot attempt TO solve
the mystery in regard TO least loy ma
king most manure There is no "mys
terry" abou, it. 1t is due. undoubtedly,
10 the increased capacity of the cut
straw to absorb liquid rapidly.
Another advantage IN cutting fodder
for stock is that coarser and more un-
pala,able food can be used. A horse
that would cat straw only when COM
PEELED by keen hunger, will eat it reaai-
ly if cut up and mixed with little corn
meal and the mixture will be quite as
nutritious as hay, and less expensive. In
some sections. one of the cheapest meth
ods Of wintering horses is to cut up oats
in the straw. and mix them with little
bran; on, if the horses are at herd work,
with little corn meal.
The hay crop is SO shor. this year, in
many seetioas. that it behooyes our far
zuers to use the most economical meth
DDS of feeding their stock: and cutting
up the straw. eern stalks, and hay. will
be more than usually advantageous

Improving Il Of Cows.

The Eneycloret 3 - aaicd Says:
The loss froI:. s. eeasfs inferior cattle
Z is far greater than those concerned seem
to be aware of. 1t isimposs;ble to esti-
mate this loss accurately, but from care
full observation and inquiry, we feel con-
6dent that it amounts to not less than
SO head on one. half Of the fat cattle
annually slaughtered in Great Britain
If this be so, it follows that without
spending farthing more than is done
at present on food, housing, and atten-
dance, the profit which would accrue
from using only the best class bulls
would be equivalent to an advance of
three cents pound on the price of beef,
as regards half of the fat bullocks brought
to market. This profit could be secured
by very moderate outlay, for if proper
ly gone about, the best class of bulls
might be employed without adding more
than dollar head to the price of each
calf reared. We may surely anticipate
that such a palpable source of profit will
not continue to be neglected by breeders
Of cattle"
If these remarks are applicable to the
farmers Of Great Britain they are even
more worthy Of the attention of farmers
of this country, where the proportion of
inferior cattle is far greater than In En-.
gland. The introduction Of improved
breeds of cattle has already added mil.
lions Of dollars to the wealth of this
country; but though much has been
done in this direction. there is still abun-
dant room for further improvement. The
great majority Of cattle sent to market
are of very inferior order. The follow
ing remarks. by the same writer. are par.
.icularly applicable to our native cattle.
When crossed With Short horn. Devon,
or Hereford bull. the resat is highly en-
couragin-, so far at least as beef produ-
cling qualities are concerned:
''lt is doubtless important to have
both parents good; but in the case Of
ruminants, the predominating influence
of the male. in determining the qualities
of the progeny, is so well ascsr,ained

Of prime Importance. We arc able to
state from ample personal experience,
that by using bull that is at once good

valuable lot Of calves can be obtained
from very Indifferent cows. In Berwick
shire it is the practice to employ chiefly
married laborers who reside on the farm,
and one part of whose wages is the keep
Of COW. These laborers usually give
tho preference to small cows and
that they are healthy and yield milk
plen,ifuily-care little about their breed
or other qualities. A good judge o: gra-
xing cattle could no. easily imagine a
more unpromising breeding stock than
is furnished by these cottagers cows !;
and yet when they are coupled with Il
really good short-horn bull. it is truly
surprising to see what admirable cattle
are produced from them
