NV Field.

The night had come; the moonlight whitley lay
Athwart the field where had sowed all day
Feed should ne'er behold
Waving its harvest gold.
Naught showed that seed was hidden there;
In paIIid light lay burrows long and bare;
No blade, no leaf was seen
Signing lis promise green.
And on the shore the little shaIlop lay,
Which the morn must bear me far away
Where might never know
Whether the seed did grow.
And if 1 wept, twas but God could
How much the hope of harvest was to me;
He sent his angel down
My trembling trust to crown.
His gentle angel led me by the hand
Until we stood upon the bare, sown land,
And then he turned and smiled,
With eyes serene and mild
Behold he said g to still thy human fear,
In one short hour will God unfold the year"
And as he spoke the word,
The barren clods stirred.
And tiny blades crept out into the light,
And grew, and grew, before my wondering sight,
And then the seen,
I-ong-bearced, full and green.
And while l watched the waving grain, behold
The heads bent down with weight of ripened gold
The Angel said, :. The Lord
shall give thee this reward.
= Fear not to get thee hence across the sea,
In harvest time III bind thy sheayes for thee,
Thy field may ripen late;
Fear not, but trust and waltz
\ little cloud sailed by and hid the moon;
My angel comfort was gone to soon,
"A trenor blurred the air:
Again my field lay bare.
Except that near me- close beside my feet,
Remained one handful of the golden wheat;
Gods token that for
Rich harvest yet should be-
And III my bosom, cherished loved behold
These precious cars of sacred harvest gold,
such fruit my field shall bear
leave it in Gods care.

To REMOVE THE TASTE OF New WooD.-A
new keg, churn, bucket or other wooden
vessel, will generally communicate a disa-
greeable taste to any thing that is put into
water remain in it until cold, then dissolve
some pearlash or soda in lukewarm water,
adding lime to it, and wash the inside of the
vessel well with this solution. Afterward
scald it well with pure hot water, and rinse
it with cold water before you use it. The
reason for this is the ready combination of
resinous matters with alkalines to form COM
pounds soluble in water The resinous sub
stances of wood, while new, caus adisagree-
able taste and odor in substances kept in
wooden vessels.

COUGHING HoRsEs.-It is well known that
feeding horses on clover hay often makes
them cough, but the why and wherefore
may not be so generally known. From observa-
ton | have become satisfied that the manner of
feeding hay to horses is the cause. The
usual custom is to let them draw it through
the rack, then stripping the fine dust which
adheres to the stock, which being drawn into
the lungs in respiration, produces the cough.
The cure consist in removing the cause-that
is, the racks-and allowing the animals to
take their food in their natural way. | have
removed all of mine and feed my horses
on the barn floor, having breastwork suff-
Gently high for them to eat over In this
way they can be fed hay without raising dust,
they get none under their feet and the labor
of cleaning out their manager is saved. What
ever is left is easily pushed out with a rake
into the yard for the cattle. The dust ON the
hay will do the horses no harm if taken into
the stomach. Since making the improve
ment above mentioned in my feeding appara-
tus, am not troubled with coughing horses.
There is no patent on my invention, and my
brethren use it freely.

HARVESTING FIELD BEANS.-Take five rows
at time Commence on the middle row .
pull up as many hills as can conveniently be
held in the hands, and then place the hand
full, with the roots up, on the row. Then
pull the two rows on each side, and place
the handfuls round the first on the middle
row. Pull few spaces ahead of the heap
and bring the handfuls back. Then proceed
as before. Sometimes the beans are put in
a continuous windrow. The work is usually
done by boys, and if the crop is clean boy
will pull half an acre day. The heaps or
wIndrows should be moved or turned every
day or two and if the weather is bad the
crop must be carefully watched, and every
opportunity seized to turn the heaps and
get tn EN- lightened up. A little neglect may
spoil the crop, or at least render Manipulating
necessary Ordinarily there is little diffcnl-
ty in CURING beans in this way, provided
they are not neglected. When sufficiently
cured they are thrown into heaps of conve
nient size for pitching. If the beans are
dry and hard, and the vines perfectly cured,
they can be moved away like hay or grain !;
but if a little green. it is better to put them
on poles laid across the beams in the barn,
where the air can circulate through them.
Careful bean growers frequently stick short
stakes in the field, and place the beans around
them, thatch the heap with straw, and let
them remain, if need be, for several weeks.
When this method is adopted, the beans can
be pulled while the vines are quite green. as
the half-matured beans will ripen from the
sap in the pods and vines. By this method,
too, there is little loss of leaves, and these,
with the pods. constitute the most valuable
portion for fodder.

The Cows FOR FARNERs.-The following
from the New England Homestead is exactly
to the point, and we reprint it with pleasure
IN the hope that it may be generally read.
What are the qualities necessary to con-
stitute good COW? A good mixer only
does not, in our judgement, constitute a
good cow; neither does good breeder, nor
a good feeder. 1t is these three qualities
combined that make the cow. Give US a COW
that is good for milk, quality as well as
quantity considered, that when properly
bred 10 good bulls, will invariably produce
good calves. and one that when dried of her
milk will with proper care ana attention
take on hes1 rapidly and evenly, and for one
at least, we rest satisfied. And till we
raise TO entire breed of COWS, each
one Of which shall possess these excellencies,
our aim shall be to advance in improvement
till we can accomplish our object. TO possess
the first of these quail ties, a COW should
have fine head, little wide above the
eyes, but quite small below, and appear
somewhat long. Her nose should be of rich
yellow color, at all events, not black
1--WE do not know of any fullblooded stock, of
any breed, with black noses, but they
frequently appear stock high bred as
fifteen sixteert ny Her neck should be
very small where it joins the head, but
widening and deepening as it approaches the
shoulders and briskets- Her udder should
be of good size, well covered with long, soft
hair. and not inclined to freshness large
milk veins and small, delicate horns, they
may be long in some breeds, but they should
be fine, and she should have yellow skin.
To be a good breeder, she should in the
first place be descended from good stock, and
the farther back you can trace her from good
stock the better She should possess all the
before mentioned qualities, with broad,
straight back, wide loinS and hips, long, deep
quarter, round ribs, bones small in proper
ton to her size, deep and full brisket, fore
legs wide apart, and lastly, she should be a
good handler. a cow that is good handler
will also, almost invariably, produce rich
milk, and if first-rate handler, and possess
ing the before mentioned qualities, she will
be invariably good feeder. This handling
quality is, or has been. too much overlooked
by breeders and judges of cattle shows.
Judges that will give in their decisions for
premiums on stock without even touching an
animal, are in our opinion, unfit for that Of
fee We should not think of purchasing a
cow for milk, stock and beef, without know
ing her to be good handler.
