The VALUE OF NETTLEs.-Nettles have
long been misunderstood, but their day is
coming at last. More than once people have
suspected that certain grave, ruminOtye,
long-eared animal, knew more than he got
credit for, and now we tlnd out that he does,
Had men known as much long ago, II would
have been better for them. M. Xavier Ga.
renne has discovered that II all the hndes
in tho south and the waste spaces in the
rest of France were sowed and planted with
nettles, they would be converted into green
and productive fields. He is astonished 10
to see the world so blind to tho virtues OF
this hardy plant, which, ii seems, will grow
everywhere. Raise nettles and their young
tops furnish q delicious, early vegetable,
and abundance OF green fodder for cattle
whose beef and milk will be greatly improv
ed by the diet. Nettles are remarkably
etiicacious in restoring broken down horses
and might, therefore, apply to hacks of al
kinds. II is not the external application o
the nettle that is here meant. They have
too, great commercial value, and may bi
treated as hemp and spun into lines ant
ropes and woven into cloth. The Frencl
are about to plant them on vast scale, ant
