MAKING Hn.-Clovcr hay cut at the
period of inforescence, and thorough
ly made, has been found by repeated
experiments, TO lose about four-ffths
of its weight in making" When the
flower had fnllen and the stalks have
lost some of their moisture, the loss
in drying is throe-quarters of the weight
of the crop when cut; probably fair
average where the grass is in the state
OF advancement last Indicated, and the
labor Of making is performed with n
free exposure to the sun and air, one
hundred pounds will be reduced to
twenty-one. Glover, in all its varie-
ties, is a valuable product, and one of
the best grasses for hay, if mixed with
the latter kinds, we have for cattle.
1t is sapid, highly nutritive in its pro
pcrties, and agrees well with all des-
criptions of animals. It's value, how
ever, for feeding purposes, depends, in
an eminent degree, upon the method
OF curing it.
Glover should be cut MS soon as the
dew is off, allowed to remain in tho
swath undisturbed by the fork or rake
till toward night, when il the weather
is clear or not, it is carefully turned,
in order that new surface may be ex-
posed to the night dews, and the next
afternoon pitched intol grass cocks, -
each weighing about eighty pounds,
in which condition it is suffered to re-
main until sufficiently dry to go into
NOV. Hay made in this way posses

plant before being cut, and that sweet
aromatic odor so grateful to every per-
son capable of approaching sweet
smells" We have seen the clover
heads as bright in mid-winter, i'll hay
made in this manner, as they were the
moment they fell before the sweep of
the mowers scythe, and FLOR aughS we

All kinds of hay made in this way,
are unquestionably much improved in
quality; it also loses less, by many
pounds in hundred, while the ex-
pense is diminished nearly or quite

SIDNEY SMITH ON KISSING. The Rev
Sidney Smith once said, in writing of
kissing--"We are in favor of GER
tain degree OF shyness when a kissing
is proposed, but it should not be con
tinued too long, and when the fair one
gives let it be administered with
warmth and energy. Let there be
soul in it,. If she closes her eyes, and
signs deeply Immediately after it, the
effect is greater She should be care
full not to slobber a kiss, but give it as
humming bird runs his bill into
a honeysuckle--deep bet delicate.
There is much virtue in kiss when
well delivered. We have had the
memory of one we receive in our youth,
which has lasted us forty years, and
we believe that it will be one of the
last things we VII think of when We
die"

CURING HAY.-As the season is near
at hand when the hay crop will be
ready for curing, embrace few spare
moments to give to the readers of the |
FARMER myexperience in its manage
ment and use.
Many who prize clover hay find
much trouble i'll curing it so as to re-
tain all its good qualities, and avoid
its being smoky as when not properly
cured. Bad weather for making hay
often occurs to the great detriment
of the clover crop, as it requires more
time for curing than other less succu-
lent forage plants.
r. H. Pell, of New York, tells us in
the transactions of the American ms
titute for 1851, that he cuts and
houses his clover the same day, with
out any loss of leaf and blossom; the
hay coming out in good order He
uses salt, but does not say how much.
He also tells us of keeping ten or n
dozen COWS through the winter on the
product of TACO acres Rather large
crop, some OF our farmers will say.
Last season had a couple OF acres of
clover which cut and cooked up the
same day: the following day being
cloudy and looking like storming, l
turned the cocks bottom up, and took
them to the barn and mixed some rye
straw with it and it cured in excellent
order. ! also put in the barn some
green herdsgrass and red top mixing
it in with straw, which also cured we'll.
i am so well satisfied with these ex-
periments and others l have tried
heretofore, and given an account of in
the FARMER, that have nice lot OF
good swee. oat straw reserved for use
with the clover may get this season
from six acres. l propose getting in
the clover the day it is cut, if possible
/ am not much in favor of feeding
straw to cattle, unless l have plenty OF
roots or grain to feed with it; mixed
with green clover, the straw is eaten
readily, and with as much apparent
satisfaction by the stock, as the hay
With me they do not sort it over, leav,
ing the straw until all the clover is
eaten.
/ regard clover MS being more valu,
able for cows and horses than any hay
use. Cows viii give from ten to fif-
teen per cent more milk, and keep in
as good or better condition than Oh
ordinary hay.-N. f. Farmer.

THE PRESIDENTS Town AND MoNu-
MENT.--Tbousands of persons have
visited the tomb recently erect
ed upon the "Mathcr lot in
Springfield. An expression of adj
miration has been uttered by the
throngs in regard to the beauty of the
place chosen for the last resting place
of our beloved President The grounds
are enchanting in their natural sim
plicty. A gentle eminence rises in
every direction, covered with luxuri-
ant forest trees, which, with prudent
cultivation and needful pruning, can
be made charming On the crown Of
this elevation about the highest
ground in the city, would be nota-
BILE site for the erection of such mon
ument as would typify the lofty posi-
ton, the exalted qualities, and the
hearty appreciation Of the nation for
Abraham Lincoln.
Near the northern base of this emf
hence the city has erected noble
tomb for the remains. 1t consists OF
vault faced with marble from the
quarry at Joliet, Ill; nicely sculptured
urns are placed upon pedestals on Ell
Their side. Massive iron doors inclose
its entrance, and one marble slab, n
little raised above the surface of the
cemented floor, affords just sufficient
room for single coffin. The ground
above the tomb is covered with a lux
uriant growth of grass, and around
and on every side forest trees contrib
ute solemn shade.

HEALTHFUL EPrEcTs OF THE TOMATO
The tomato is one Of the most health

or pepper, or vinegar, or altogether, to

that can be taken with an appetite.
It's healthful quality arises from its
slight acidity, in this making it as val

currants, and similar articles; it is al

IMPROVED QUADRUPLE ACTION
WASHING MACHINE,
This Machine was Patented June 28th, 1864,
BY
JOSEPH ADAMS, GAINESVILLE, Wisconsin.

1t is pronounced by all DISTINGUISHED persons
who have used il or seen its operation, "The
most perfect w Washing Machine ever in
vented" II is the first and only one combin-
ing a DOUBLE RUBBING and DOUBLE PRESS
ING ARRANGEMENT, operated at once and by
one lever power. 1t il perfectly simple in its
constructions; easily operated that child
may use it, and yet il does the whole work Of
washing, thus rendering the old wash-board a
thing OF the past.
The rollers, at each descent Of the lever ope-
rate on q surface of 800 square inches; while at
the same time, clothes thrown into each end of
the box, receive as heavy pressure as that
produced by any fulling-mil machine in use.
Thus il will be seen, that this machine is quad
ripple in its action; and nearly performs the
Office of two distinct machines.
The subscriber would respectfully inform the
inhabitants Of Franklin County that he is man
ufasturing the above Washing Machine, and
would invite all who feel Interested in labor
saving machines to call and see for themselves.
All orders promptly filed. Job work of all kinds
done on short notice.

These inimitabc Instruments have won their
way to public confidence purely on their merits,
and not by force of extensive advertising and
purchased recommendations.
Some of the points of superiority claimed for
these instruments, are these
LIST. Smooth, steady, and pipc-lihe quality Of
tone
ID Great decacy Of touch and promptness
of action; producing. when desired low, sweet,
lute-hke tone, unequalled by any other lnstru-
ment of the class.
Sd. The Patent Bass Damper which enables
the performer to swell the treble without ncreas-

to swell all the notes by the action of the foot

ingenious octave coupler, which doubles the pow

or the number of reeds.
5th. The Patent Manual Sub-Bass which
brings into use an independent set of base reeds,
which are played with ordinary keys and con-
troled by stop. This new and valuable invcn-

The recently constructed Cottage Organ,
without the attachment, is unsurpassed by any

it is pronounced by competent judges to be far
superior to any other Instrument of the class in
the world. Its power, sweetness, and variety OF
tone, simplicity of construction and ease of man
agement, recommend II to every one as being all
that is claimed for it, both for the parlor and the

The Harmonic Organ, for Churches and
