A Pantalooniess Phiiander..

A certain young man being out on
a courting expedition one Sunday
evening, in order to keep his secret
from his young aequaintanees,sde sdetef

ON Monday morning. Dressed. in his
fine white summer pants, and other fix

and soon Arrived at the residence of
his enamorata, where he was kindlyre-
ceiyed, and the horse, properly. cared
for, being turned into the pasture for
the night. The night passed away and
three o'clock in the morning arrived:
Three o'clock was the time forshim to
depart. so that he might arrive home
before his comrades we're stirring. He

The field into which his horse had beet
turned was not only horse pasture,
but calf pasture too; andsthe naugl1-
ty calves attracted by the. white flag ON
the fence, had betaken themselves to
lit, and, calflike, had eaten them up
Only few well eheweds fragments of
the wardrobe relnained--onlyaa few
threads-just sufficient to indicate what
they once had been. What pickle

Making Hay.


The method of Mr.. Scott; of CfOfts-
bury, Vermont, adopts to raise hay is
worthy ofnotice: a.,..e=sT ,.f- .+ ne
He cuts his hay in June, just as tcle-
yer begins to blossom and before the
herds grass puts out its head, and six
weeks after cuts second crop; real
izing about one ton per acre for the
first, and two tons per acre for the
second crops: much more nutritious
and palatable hay than that cut after
its juices have hardened into the woody
fibre of the ripened stalk. There is
reason in this, as the natural feed Of
stock is the young grass, and the quail
ity of the hay thus cut approximates
much nearer to that of grass. By
blowing land in the fall, manuring and
narrowing it; then in the spring, as
soon as the snow was off, sowing it
with equal parts of herds grass and
clover seed, at the rate or one and a
half bushels per acre, he cut, on the
Sd of July, two tons per acre; moved
again on the 7th of September, and re-
allied over two tlins per acre-up-
wards of four tons per year to the acre.
He thinks it just as easy to raise four
tons offine hay, of superior quality to
the acre, as to raise two tons per acre
of coarse, unpalatable fodder:
