Comparative Value Of Hay, Corn and
Roots.

An acre of ground retained expressly
for hay, yields on an average not more
than one and a one-half tons of vegetable
food; an equal space planted with carrots
OF. ruta-bagas, win yield from ten to
twenty tons, say fifteen tons, which is by
no means high average, and has often
been attained without any extraordinary
cultivation. 1t has been ascertained by
careful experiment, that three working
horses, fifteen and one-half hands high,
consumed hay at the rate OF two hundred
pounds per week, or five tons and one
thousand and forty eight pounds per an
mum, beside one and one-half bushels Of
oats per week, or seventy eight per annum
By repetition of the same experiment it
was found that an unworked horse con-
sumed hay at the rate Of four and one
quarter tons per annum. The produce,
therefore, of nearly six acres of land is
necessary to support working horse for
one year; but half an acre Of carrots at
six hundred bushels per acre, with the ad-
dition of chopped straw, while the season
for feeding them lasts, will do IS well, If
not better. These things do not admit of
doubt, for they have been the subject of
exact trials as some of your agricultural
friends can testify.
1t has also been proved that the value
of one bushel Of corn, together with the
fodder upon which it grew, win keep a
horse in good working order for . week.
An acre planted with corn, and yielding
sixty bushels, viii be ample to keep a
good sized horse in working order for one
year.
Let the farmer, then, consider whether
it is better to maintain horne on the pro-
duce of halfanacre of ruta-bagas or carrots,
or upon the produce of an acre of corn !;
or, on the other hand, upon the hay and
grain from six acres of land-for IL will
require six acres of good land to produce
the necessary hay and grain as above.
The same reasoning might be made use Of
in the feeding Of cattle and sheep.-&ock

4 Remarkable Animal.

One of the most remarkable animals OF
the Rocky Mountains is the Rocky Noun
tain rat, the Neotoma cincroa of Beard, also
known 'as the NeotoM0 Occidentdlis, and
called in Oregon the wood rat. A full
grown rat is often nine inches in length,
from tip of nose to base of tail, while the
tail adds about as much more to its length.
Its hair Is soft, grey on the back and whit
ish on the belly, ears short bat broad, and
round tail very bushy at the tip. 1t is the
worst thief in the animal creation, no. ex.
cepting man, for it always steals and does
not stop, to consider whether what he
steals Is valuable or not. Many strange
stories are told concerning its stealing
nails, candles, etc, and bringing back in
return manure, and all sorts Of offal. lts
operations often have the appearance more
of having been the result of q desire to be
employed than anything else On one oc-
casion ]. Alden Smith, of this Office, says
he had standing in his Office in Clear Greek
county, half keg of nails, containing
three sizes, and during single night these
rats took out all the nails and piled them
up on the floor in three piles, each size by
themselyes. The same animals night after
night brOught In heaps of manure from
than this was performed in the house of
Mr.. Hale on Tuesday night. On going to
he'd he placed bis false teeth on the Bn-
reau. In the morning the teeth were gone
and raw potato left in their place
After along search, tearing off the weather
boarding in several places, they were
found in the nest of one of these rats
The rat had started to carry off the potato,
but finding the teeth took them and left
the potato.-Cs ntral Gty, 0o1., Register. -

A Romantic Incident.

The interruption of travel on the Erie
Railway, owing to the recent great storm,
occasioned . bit of romance worth record
ing. Mr.. Irving D. Booth, of Elmira, and
Miss Esther D. Shaw, of Middletown, N.
Y, were to have been united in wedlock
on Wednesday. The bridegroom, accom-
panied by his friends, started on Tuesday
morning for the wedding. At Deposit,
owing to the damage done to the railroad
track by the storm, trains could run no
further. Here was dilemma. The tele-
graph wires were broken down, % that he
could not communicate, to his bride the
cause Of his detention, and the prospects
of the track being repaired for some days
were snything but encouraging. "Faint
heart never won fair lady" he thought,
and accordingly resolved to brave all dan
gers and difficulties and push forward as
best he could and endeavor to get to Mid
dletown in timesto assume the marital OBJ
legations At Middletown the bride and
friends had made all the preparations for
an elegant wedding; but, when they as
certained that no trains would arrive from
the West they postponed the ceremony.
The bridegroom and friends, despite the
many obstacles poshed brsvely on, some
times on foot, in Wrecking trains and on
hand cars, until they arrived at Port Jer.
Wis, where they took passenger train,
and arrived almost in time for the wedding
as first announced, the marriage being
duly celebrated on Thursday.-Erchange.
