A CONTAGIOUS DIsEAsE.-At little village

a benevolent association, one of whose OBJ
jects is to watch with and take care of its

LADY was admitted to membership. In
couple of months she was blessed with
bright-eyed babe, and was very sick. Some
of the young lady members expressed to the
chief officer of the association their indigna-

their duty to visit the unfortunate one

TIMOTHY HAY AND CLovER-wHICH IS THE
BEST FOR MICH Cows with regard to the
comparative value of timothy and clover hay
for milk, Mr. Capron, an Illinois farmer, is
cited who being largely engaged in the milk
business, made an experiment in order to
thoroughly test the matter. All the food was
weighed and the two kinds alternated with
each other once a month. He gives us an
average result that clover hay makes ten per
cent the most milk
According to the analysis of Professor Way
the relative nutrit:ve value or the two plants
dry is as follows:

1t will be seen that the feshy matter of red
clover is considerable more than that of Tim
othy. and as the feshy matter is what is most
needed In the food of mich cows in order to
replace the waste constantly going on in the
production OF milk, the result obtained by
MIR. Capron, it is believed is not overstated.
The value of clover hay as spring feed for
cows, is worthy of consideration by darymen.
A NEW GRATING WAx-Several of our
friends who have tried the following compo-

pleased with 1T. We see it also recommend
ed in some of the horticultural Journalistic

cent. alcohol, one ounce beef tallow, one ia
ble-spoon ofspirits of turpentine.
Melt the rosin over slow fire, add the beef
talow, and stir with a perfectly dry stick or
piece of wire. When somewhat cooled, add
the turpentine, and last, the alcohol in small
quantities, stirring the mass constantly

GRAFTs-A contributor to the Agricultural
Department of the Germantown Ieleq,oph,
writes
at is not generally known that scons Or
gratis may be cut in the winter as well as
spring. From the numerous inquiries of me
relative to the subject, | will say for the ben
eft of the uninitiated, that scions may
be taken off during the winter months, with
as good chance of success as at any other
season; and that if preserved in wet moss, or
sard slightly moistened, and kept in cool
place in the cellar till wanted, they will re-
main uniniured, and may be set with conf
dence as to the result | have known scions
cut in December and January, and packed in
this way, transported hundreds of miles in an
open vehicle, with the thermometer below re
70, and when set they came forward as vigo-
rously as scions cut the following spring.
When deposited in cellars care should be ia
ken that they are not kept either too dry or
too moist. Either extreme, though it may
not prove fatal, will greatly injure the vital
energy Of the system, and prevent the sconS
from putting forth with that degree of vigor
they would otherwise exhibit"
BLANKETING HORSES IN WNTER.-This is
ftenwrongly done. When the horse becomes
heated by hard labor Or hard travelling the
blanket is thrown on his back at once-the
vapor streams up from his hot sides, becomes
condensed and vets the blanket, and as the
horse continues to cool, the cold and wet
covering is of little use. A better way Is to
allow the animal to stand uncovered for
few minutes, longer or shorter period, ac-
cording to circumstances, until cooled down
to about the ordinary temperature, (but not
in any degree toward chillinegs,) then throw
on the dry blanket.

ever knew; he created new department Of
humanity and loved the unlovely. A muir
derer or highway robber does not corrupt
society; but a man like Choate, with talent,
genius, learning, social position, the most ex-
traordinary power of bewitehing men by his
speech, he debauches the people to terrible
extent. wonder if any one will write out
and preach the dreadful lesson of such life,

such men, and young scholars against becom-
