Foxy.

On one occasion, fox having been sur.
prised in heI-housc, simulated death
with such exaCtness, that the owner of the
slaughtered poultry thought that Master
Reynard had overgorged himself, and per.
ishcd of surfcit, like one of our own
kings. CongTatulating herself on the fate
of the robber, she picked him up by the
tall, and threw him out of the hen-house,
when the fox picked himself up and
scamperod off. Another time, a peasant,
finding fox in hen.house, aimed a blow
at him, which apparently killed him. The
man then took the fox up by the tail, slung
him over his shoulder, and carried him
out of the farm yard, intending, most prob.
ably, 10 decorate his house with the brush,
his barn with the head aud paws, and his
person with the skin. If so, his medita-
uons weIe speedily destroyed, for the fox
had only shHmmed death, and, finding his
inverted position uncomfortable, took
measures TO relieve himself by administer
ing a severe bite where his head WAS
dangling. The ailrighted peasant imme-
distely dropped the fox, who set oil as fast
rs he could, leaving his would be captor
in a state of mingled fright, pain, and fury.
Mr.. Lloyd tells us of another fox, who
displayed rs much sagacity in getting out
of an equally bad scrape The animal
had been caught in pit-lall and was ly.
ing apparently helpless at the bottom. A
very stout peasant then brought ladder,
and having lowered 1t into the pit, de-
scended slowly, in order TO destroy the
fox. Reynsrd, however, had not the
slightest intention of being destroyed ;
SO just as the stout peasant placed his foot
on the ground the fox sprang on his back,
then on his shoulders, and from thence To
the edge of the pit, thereby deferring the
intended execution to an Indefinite period,
and injuring in no small degree the tenn
per of the man by whore means he had
escaped. Our OtoR Freside.

Cnttinz Grass aud CurIag Hay.

THERE is scarcely any work on the farm
of more importance than the proper Gu
ring of hay, and as there are variety of
opinions on the subject of the proper
time for cutting grass, and also regarding
the manner OF curing hay, We present
few facts connected with these subjects.
We learn from the Nste England Farm
er that in 1856 the Secretary of the
Massachusetts, Board of Agriculture ad-
dressed a series of inquiries on the hay
crop to one or more farmers in each town
in the State, and this question was asked,
among others.
"At what etage of growth do you pre-
fer to cut grass, to make it into hayl An
sWers were received from more than two
hundred towns, aud those from one hun.
dred and tity towns, about three-fOurths
OF the whole, majority sufficient to over
come any veto, were in favor of cutting
timothy and red top when in full bloom"
AS red clover and timothy do not ma
ture at the same q ne, 1t is considered by
many intelligent farmers that tirsi-rate
quality of hay cannot be obtained from
these two plants in conjunction, the clo'
yer being too ripe for hay before the timo-
thy has arrived at its highest state of u'il.
ity for that purpose. Il Is prob able that
as a meadow plant, as II ripens at the same
time rs timothy, and Is fit Tor the mower
when timothy has arrived AZ the proper
stage of its growth IN make nutritious hay.
Although the general opinion is that
timothy ought IN be cut when in full
bloom, the cause of this opinion probably
is not that il makes the hest hay when Gus
at this stage, but II allowed to stand
longer the clover becomes dry and
worthless.
Il is said that hay made from timothy
cut green is not 80 pSlatAble to stock as
that made from the same variety Of grass
cut after the seeds have been fully
formed, and 30 far ripened as 10 shell a
little when the hay Is being housed or
stacked. A farmer in Seneca county, N.
Y, cut some of his timothy before the
blossoms had fallen of. 1t was properly
cured and placed IN NOW apart from
other hay. Amer harvest q pCrJiOn OF the
timothy which had been let standing, Was

Wrong Certificate at the Bank.

In the midst of one Of the worst Of our
business panics, and az the moment when
everybody thought all the banks were
going TO the dogs together, Jones-the in
evitable Jones-Tushed into the bank of
which he WAS q stockholder, and thrust

inquiry You had better go to the

can't do 1t here" Jones was confounded.

Auxiliary Crops,


IL the corn crop over considerable ex-
tent of country Is short, and the small
grains are injured, as seems likely, by an
exaggerated growth of straw at the ex-
pense of berry, it will be well 10 engage
more than usual in such of the later sOwn
crops, as may, la measure, tak0 their
places. II now seems that the grass crop
Is to be an exceedingly heavy one, so that
Hungarian and Millet will not be needed
for fodder except as with their abundance
of seeds they may take the place of grain.
If thought best to have them on hand, il
ia not now too late to put them in, and
the land intended for corn or where the
seed has failed, may be used for that pur-
pose.
Buckwheat will help the farmer out
amazingly, and may be sown anytime for
two weeks yet. 1t is not the equal Of
corn, oats or barley for feed, but is not to
be despised, while in the household and
for poultry II is quite desirable. A patch
OF 1t is good thing to have to fall back
on.
The Ruta Baga is still more va liable is
not difficult of cultivation, and yields we'll
on all the lighter prairie soils, or where
sand is component part, but not prepon.
derating. Now is the time to put them in.
Make the soil mellow roll it, and use the
drill to put in the seed. The rows should
be from two TO three feet apart. The cul
tivation may be done principally by the
small plOw or cultivator, thinning out
and pulling the weeds In the row by hand
The common Turnip should not be
overlooked here, though there is plenty
of time to put in the seed for a month yet
In connection with hay, turnips are good
for all kinds of stock. All are fond of
them; sheep especially so. Therefore
where sheep are kept and c)rn is scarce,
tiook masters should provide themselves
with turnips, as substitute cheaper than
anything else. "Ten cent" corn and oats
are better, but such we are not likely to
have soon again. They may be put in
broad cast or in drills, but in either case,
avoid getting them too thick, or if thick
at first for the fly and poor seed, take
pains to thin out after the stand Is Sc
cured.
Pumpkins, or as our English friends
have 1t of late "Catte Melons," are not
to be ignored as one of the helps. They
are good to make beef, fed with hay and
grain, or even with hay alone. Hogs like
them and will fatten on them. Good
crops of pumpkins may be grown on
prairie breaking At the East good crops
are grown in connection with corn, but
we believe with our large growth of stalk
and leaf, almost completely shading the
surface of the ground, the best way Is TO
give the pumpkin the whole of the ground
and lot it have a ohanoe.-Prdirie Farmer,
