Startling OccurrenCe-Snake In u
Lady's Dress.

The London Court Journal says:
"a lady who had returned from India
three years ago, was the other day
opening drawer ir what is termed o
bullock trunk. To her amazement
and horror snake reared up his head;
her first impulse was to push the
drawer to, but It was stiff and heavy.
She ran, screaming, down stairs for
help. uer brother, who was in the
Grawing.room, went to her assistance,
and preceded her again up stairs
The snake was not to be seen, and the
gentleman thought it must have been
his sisters imagination; SO, after some
little time, the search was given NJ.
The following morning canary that
always hung in the ]ady's room wac,
missing, and looking into the cage,
the snake lay curled up at tho bottom
oft, and all that remained of the bird,
by his side. There was no difficulty
in destroying the snake, and it was,
discovered to be what is termed a.
green snake, whose nature it is to
make spring at the eye, when death
Immediately ensues. Tie marvel is
how the reptile lived SO long and tho
lady es scaped." Hl

Com FoDDER.-Butt stalks should be
well dried before packing them away.
They make an excellent and highly nutri-
tons food for cattle during winter, if prop
erly cured BY using well dried straw in
packing them, alternating stratum of straw
with stratum Of stalks, and adding little
salt, the fodder will come out perfectly
bright and free from mould, and will be
eaten during the cold days of winter as
readily by most Eliminating animals, as hay
is eaten and with nearly as good results.
Stalks packed away III green or wet con-
dition, engender mould, and are of little
value except for manure. Great loss gen.
orally results from the ordinary method of
feeding out this species of fodder. 1t
should first be chopped, and then mixed
with little corn and cob moal, or rasped
vegetable, and then moistened with warm
water. In this way, even the coarser por-
tons will be eaten with avidity; whereas
IT thrown into the yard, or fed to the ami
mails in their stalls, all except the leaves
and smaller portions of the stalks will be
rejected and thrown aside.

THE HOME OF FLORENCE NIGuTIN-
GALE Many hundred acres belong TO
Miss Nightingale, and her grounds are the
most beautiful Of that region. From the
lodge we drove to the house on wide and
perfect carriage road, as you find only in
the domains of English mobiles, bordered on
each side by hundren feet thick or more
of tall labarnums in full bloom, and whose
profusion of purple and pink blossoms APP
peared to US very beautiful indeed. The
house, fine construction with a Dorc
fncaded, is built of that pale bnff stone pc
culiar TO England it stands on high ground
and commands very extensive view. From
the wide porico you could see the valley
below, with its river winding through the
meadows, the massive imposing-looking old
church, the graceful cottages, and the cattle
peacefully enjoying the autumn grass. 1t
was lovely scene, and one which fixed
itself on our memory, there ever to remain.

Economy of Stock Feeling.

How to winter stock on short supply Of for
age, seems just now an important question |
can tell how a very intimate friend of the Colo
nel's did last winter, and perhaps somebody
may be the better for it.
This gentleman had pretty good pile Of corn
stalks, well-saved. His stock consisted of COWS,
and his team of horses, but he had little straw
and less hay. He's great believer in the viz
tue of corn stalks, and thinks he knows how to
feed them. The thing he did was TO buy
straw cutter, and get il home. Then he fixed
some tubs, by saving good stout barrels in two
and made good warm stable for his cattle
The stalks were all cut, and more or less
straw cut with them. Each COW was allowed
all she could eat three times day, and the mess
night and morning, was fixed in this wise -
The cows at noon had feed of dry cut stalks
and straw, which iheyswould eat pretty clean ex-
cept the coarser bits AT about o'clock, these
were gathered into the tubs, and enough more
added TO make the evening meal To this was
added two quarts OF corn meal ard two Of bran,
and hot water turned on, as much as would well
molsten the whole, and all well mixed. The
morning meal was the same being mixed over
night or early in the morning. In this way no
stalks were wasted, the cows gave good sup
ply Of milk. and increased in condition. 1t was
some trouble, but the manure paid for tina,
ab1ndanIly. On Long Island, where it is the
custom for the farmers to sell their hay, they
Keep their horses on cut stalks and ground feed,
and their teams look well.
The Colonel's friend and agree that we can
winter four times as much stock uron an acre
OF corn and stalks as upon the hay from an
acre, and that there is no profit in growing hay
for stock upon land that will produce gool corn.
But the corn must be ground, and the stalks cut,
and cooked with the meal -Rwal Netc Yorker

A NKw RACE OF CATTLE.-The Bel

Nj. Dutrone, one of the most distin-
guished cattle breeders OF France, has sue
ceeded, after twenty years trial, in produc-
ing bovine race without horns, which car
ried the first prize at the great cattle show
of Poissyin 1854. a COW Of this species.
which had been raised on the farm of the
King of Belgium, at Laeken. near Bras
sells, was killed on Friday last, in the latter
town, IN presence of the veterinary school
and the surveyors of the public slaughter
hone. The report Of these gentlemen
CONFIRMS the fact that the quantity both
at the suet and meat was much
more considerable than that Of the ordinary
cattle. Nj. Dutrone ordered that one half
81 the COW be sent to Client. TO be sold for
The profit of the much suffering poor OF
that town."

torture experienced from the pains in my head OF
course availed myself Of any and every means that
might alleviate my sufTerings, but found nothing
eficacous until tried your remedies. The Linimcnt
Immediately produced relief. One week after ! had
begun using your medicines and following your diree

benefit had received, and now render my gratitude
to you, and congratulate you upon being the means Of
relief to so much of suffering humanity
