Building HaY.MOMS.


On small farms, where the horse fork is
not used, much hard labor may be saved
by building up one-half of the hay-mow at
time. For instance, with the first hav
drawn, fill either the right or left-hand
end of the bay, up as far as the big beam,
then rake down the side, and while this
part isisettling, fill the other half The
two parts being filled at different times,
will not settle alike, and of course will not
unite, SO there will be no use for hay
knife in winter The principal benefit of
this plan is derived by lessening the hard
labor while unloading One half of the
NOW being lower than the other, the top
of the load may be thrown on the highest
part, and the balance below, which saves
pitching from the rack over the big beam.
After trying this mode of moving away
hay, it will not be abandoned. %
There is still another advantages; the
greatest heat caused by fermentation is
always in the centre of the NOV, and the
seam here gives escape to the generated
gases. t.,1
There is very generally neglect among
farmers to properly prepare the bottom OF
their bays for hay to keep we'll In most
cases the hay is allowed to lie upon the
ground, or at best, to rest upon few
poles or rails laid on the earth. The best
construction we ever used was to put in
logs fifteen inches through, across the bay,
once in eight or ten feet, and upon these
spread rails or poles, leaving space be-
tween them of about two inches. This
gives free circulation below the NOW, and
not a pound is injured if it remains there
for years.--Oh5O Farmer.

The Well Sweep, a Fable.

| y
A PROTOTYPE ofdthose leaders of the
Democratic party who cannot compre-
bend that some things have passed away,
is found by the New York Sun in the story
h" of deacon who lived in the good old
days when everybody on the easterly side
of the Hudson drank New England rum.
sThiAdeacon was accustomed for the space
OF fifty years to take his eleven CLOCK and
four o'clock refresher of that orthodox
beverage. At these precise hours he was
wont to cote, the well, and with the old
oaken bucket that hung from the. antique
sweep draw pail of water to cool and
mohify' his morning and evening dram.
In process of time, full of years and hon
ors, the deacon was gathered to his
fathers. But the well7sweep still lived
and such was the force of habit upon it,
coupled with its incapacity to forget any
thing it had once learned, that for long
years after the deacon was dead the well
sweep continued to go up and down so
regularly at eleven and four o'clock that
all the fools in the neighborhood set their
watches by it. So it is with few of the
leaders of the Democratic party. Forget
ting that negro slavery and all it's con
comitants, and the Calhoun dogma of
State Rights and all it's consequences,
are as dead as the Connecticut deacon,
they go up and down the gamut of their
praises with the regularity of his well
sweep, while manyfo their ,deluded fol-
lowers keep step with the music"

Usefulness of Willows.

FARMERS should have q patch of osier
Willows growing near the homestead, as
they are exceedingly useful for many pur-
poses. Baskets of various sizes are needed
in the house, barn yard and field, and when
there is plenty of material they can be
made within doors in winter, when farm
work is not pressing. The, .Sali.r giaainOzas,
or basket-willow, is best suited for this
purpose. Ofthe Purple willow, Sdlir' 1att-
aoUT'e1, it has been said that eff there We're
but one osier in existence, this would sup
ply more of the wants of willow workers
than any other one" Willow withes are
very useful in the garden, nursery, or
pleasure ground, as they supply an abund-
ance of ties for fastening vines or trellises,
tall-growing flowers to stakes, and also
serve for bands for the nurserymen. The
clear stems of two or three year old will
lows furnish poles for beans, ETC., and when
split make hoops for vessels of various
kinds. The Golden osier, (SalSg 0itellina)
IS very ornamental, even when entirely de-
nuded of foliage. 1t is also useful, for its
young shoots make good ties, and its me-
dunn sized branches and twigs furnish pea
brush, thing that is not always at hand
In some gardens
Willows will grow in great variety of
soils, especially if moist, but not profitably
in any unsuited to their habits. Drained
swamps afford fine sites for willow planta-
tons A deep, rich bottom OF sandy loan
that is occasionally overfowed, is very
suitable for their growth. Any amount
OF overlooking, not in the growing
season, does no damage, but increases the

How to Make Soap Bubbles.

be- 1T is a, pleasant thing to make soap
bubbles, If for no better reason than that
we can have rainbows about us at any
time. But there is an art about making
these shortliVed toys as in everythin g
else. The best, way to make them is to
take three-quarters of pint of water
that has been boiled and become cold, and
put into it quarter of an ounce of Cas-
tile soap, cut up fine. Put this into a
pint bottle and set in hot water in a
saucepan on the fire. there let it remain
an hour or so, now and then giving it a
good shaking, till the soap is dissolved.
Let the fluid stand quiet for few hours
for the impurities and coloring matter of
the soap to settle; then pour off the fluid
and add to it four ounces of glycerine, and
your soap-bubble solution is ready.
In an ordinary way you may blow the
bubbles easily with clean tobacco pipe,
but if you wish to obtain scientific per-
lection, you had better employ glass pipe
or tube. By adding a larger quantity of
glycerine you may make these bubbles so
strong that you can play with them by
knocking them about. You may, of
course, make soap bubbles in an easier
way, but they will not be so brilliant as
by the above process Exchange .. s

The Democratic Programme.

The late Democratic Conventions have
thoroughly undeceived those who sup
posed that the leopard would suddenly
change his spots. More amusing and even
ridiculous spectacles have seldom abeen
presented to public attention; ridiculous,
because there is always something absurd
in the incessant reiteration of offers that
are perpetually rejected. The only allevia-
ton of the old order is the nomination of
General Rosecrans for Governor of Ohio.
But as if to extinguish any hope that
might begin to glimmer in consequence,
Mr.. Wallace, the Chairman of the Penn
sylvania Convention, in calling it to
order, remarked that principles, not men,
are the Democratic doctrine That, in
deed, was evident at Columbus, as it was
at Chicago in 1864. Then the man was
one who had been a Union soldier-the
principles were surrender to the rebellion.
Now the man is Rosecrans-the principles
are Vallandigham. And as Mr.. Wallace
truly remarked, principles, not men, are
the Democratic doctrine. Those who are
not democrats, however, are expected to
look. solely at the man. Republicans in
Ohio, for instance, are respectfully re-
| auested to contemplate the Union uniform
of Rosecrans while they give their votes
| to Vallandigham. 2-n
But with this exception the men and the
principles are equally familiar. Vallan-
digham in Ohio, and in Pennsylvania Mr..
Wallace, Mr.. Hughes, and Mr.. Asa Packer,
the candidate for Governor, are the same
old Copperhead managers who conducted
the business during theewar. They told
us then that the Government was a dark
despotism because it would not let our
rebel brethren depart in.peace; now they
tell us it is fell tyranny because it will
not let them stay upon their own terms
the Government being the people of
the country. Then we were being taxed
to immediate our brethren; now we are
taxed to pamper bloated bond-holders,
who are not our br ,thren, probably, be-
cause they sustained the war; Then the
negro was an inferior, and this was
white mans government; now also the
negro is an inferior, and still it is white
mans government. Then the local rights
OF States We're ruthlessly invaded; now
the local rights of States shall never he
overthrown. In fine, now as then. in the
estimation of the old Democratic mana
gers, all is tyranny, corruption, and black
despair, and universal night is at hand,

unless-ah! unless-Mr. Vallandigham
and his friends are permitted to direct the
taxation, TO handle the money, and to con-
troll the Government; in which happy
case Astraa will return to earth, and the
hopes of mankind may revive.
There were those who supposed that
this party might have learned something
that inasmuch as the country had decided
that the national faith should be kept, and
that colored citizens shouldvote and be
no longer ostracised, those issues would
have been relinquished and battle offered
upon other and more promising grounds.
There were these within the party who
advised this course, who recommended it
last year, and who had the emphasis OF
rueful experience to support their counsel
this year. But all has been sublimely dis
regarded. Even in the city of New York,
where a year ago there was party in
Tammany Hall which seriously wished to
nominate Mr.. Chase, this year Tammany
Hall, as Fourth of July festivity, repu-
dates the war and its results and after an
Grafton worthy of a Vallandigham or Al
exander FL. Stephens or Henry Clay Dean,
cheers for John T. Hoffman as the Presi-
dental candidate; while, simultaneously
as if to refresh in the public memory the
claims of the party to the confidence OF
honorable and patriotic men, its late candi-
date for Weep President, General Blair, eX-
tolls rebels at. a, social meeting of faithful
Union soldiers. &C. !. .fi--.t..7l} = %
And all this denunciation of equal
rights, and praising of rebels and demand
for reputation and dishenor, is put~forth
under the name of " Conservatism as in
the bitter hours Of the war, during the tor
lures of Andersonville and the horrors OF
the battlefield, it was I" Conservatism to
palliate the rebellion and to sheer at the
Government. Is there any thing in the
character of those who manage these con
ventions, or of. the principles which they
proclaim, which should persuade an honest
and loyal American citizen that the just
results of the war will be more respected
or the Government more honestly and
economically administered, or the public
honor and peace more surely maintained
by the Dem than by the Re
publican9 If, indeed, that party had
abandoned all it's defeated issues and re-
pudiated the managers identified with all
its ignominies--if il. had declared its ac-
ceptance of the situation, nominated men
whose careers and characters were their
credentials, and with such pledges of a
changed spirit had challenged public con
fidence, there would be circumstances in
the. situation, as there always are when a
party has been long in power, that might
have inclined that public confidence to-
ward it, unless the dominant party by its
practice as well as its profession had vim
dictated it's claim to continued success. But
the opportunity has been lost and there
fore the triumph of such party with such
PLATFORM would be noboply defeat but
national disgrace.-Ha1per's Weekly.

How Bad Boys are Reformed in New
p eo-His. (i's Jersey ha~ 7 vI2 9a

THE New Jersey State Reform School,
at Jamesburg, has sixty boys in charge.
A Newark paper gives the following ac-
count of the discipline of the institution ::
The school has farm of 500 acres con-
nected with it. The boys thus have an
opportunity to engage in all kinds of farm
wOrk-plowing, preparing manures, fit
ting the soil for seed, planting, haying, etc.
The smaller of the inmates are mainly en-
gagged in planting wedding, and training
the small fruits-a work in which they
seem to take great satisfaction 1t is de-
signed to turn the farm into purely fruit
farm, and thousands of peach, pear and
other trees, ETC., are now being planted
Last year the whole products of the farm
amounted to $590251, of which there
were consumed by the families products of
the value of $92650. rove Lhhe93s7"
In the school the boys are divided into
two grades, according to their proficiency
One is in the school in the forenoon, and
the other in the afternoon. They are
taught all the common English
branches, and have generally made
commendable proficiency. Many who
could not say their letters
when they entered, now read quite fluent
~, and are improving in other studies.
Just now, when the growing or ripening
crops make pressing demands for labor to-
cultivate or secure them, the exercises of
the schoolroom are temporarily suspended
These harvests and other vacations are,
however, made up to the students When
snow covers the ground, or the weather is
lnclement, the school hours are doubled.
In summer the boys rise at O'clock, and
aftertwashing perform the tasks assigned
them, assembling for prayers at quarter
to I, this being followed by breakfast and
the departure of all to their various points
of labor. AT half past II all come in, and
at - have dinner. An hour is then al
lowed them to play, and at half past 1
they return to work, at which they re-
main until halfpast 5. In the evening
they have various exercises another hour
for play, ETC., and at half past retire for
the night. In winter the order of the day
is somewhat different, the time being given
rather to study than to work
A careful examination into the expenses
of the institution during the past year
shows that the cost of the pupil averages
three dollars per week for board and cloth
ing, fuel, light salaries and incidentals
The cost to the State per pupil is about
$1.20 a week, the proceeds of the farm
equalling about $40 each week to every
inmate of the school SSH. oat
1t is confidently believed that as the farm
becomes developed the institution can be
made selfsustaining The addition to the
building authorized by the Legislature is
now in course of erection, and will very
enlarge the capacity of the in.
stiution, which has hitherto been entirely |
100 small for the purpose designed,
