A PLEA FOR THOSE WHO SLEEP IN THE
MoRNING.-The fact i, that rs life be-
comes more concentrated and its pursuits
more eager, short sleep and early rising
become impossible. We take more sleep
than cur ancestors. and We take more
because we want more.-SiX hours sleep
will do very well for ploughman or a
bricklayer, or any other man who has no
other exhaustion than that produced by
manual labor, and the sooner he takes it
after his labor is over the better; but for a
man whose labor is mental; the stress OF
whose work is on his brain and nervous
,y,tem. and who is tired in the evening
with a day of mental application, neither
early to bed or earlyto riseis wholesome.
He needs letting down TO the level Of
repose. The longer the interval between
the active use of the brain and his retire
ment TO bed the better his chance of sleep
and recruitment. TO him an hour after
midnight is probably as goodas two hours
before it, and even then his sleep will not
so completely and quickly restore him as
it will his neighbor who is only physically
tired lie must not only go to bed later
but lie longer. His best sleep is proba-
bly, in the early morning when all the
nervous excitement has passed away and
he is at absolute rest.

lYhx Cut Feed Il Best.

Alta recent meeting Of the Farmers In
stitute Club ofNew York, the oldquestion
of cutting feed was pretty Thoroughly
discussed. N. G. Meeker, the agricuiIa".
raj editor Of the Tribune. observed that
nothing could be gained by cutting what
was not good feed before that operation.
Some seem 70 think that by cutting wheat
straw and the butts of corn stalks. and
adding meal TO induce animals TO cat the
mixture, they gain, but the idea is a de-
fusion, for something cannot come out OF
nothing.
DIR. Trimble, theoretical farmer, also
remarked that it was absurd to think one
can save feed by patting 10 in another
shape without adding more nutriment. III
a horse needs twenty pounds of nourish-
ment in uncut hay he could not see how
ten pounds of cut hay would answer.
Whereupon the editor OF the Rural New
Yorker replies TO these scientific farmers,
and hits the nail squarcly on the head.
What is the truth in this question which
causes the doctors to disagree so widely
Simply this: Cutting fodder does not
add more nutriment to it, but changes its
mechanical condition, and enables stock
to consume il in less time and thus have
more rest and digestion. This is vaiu-
able consideration for hard worked horses
hut is not one Tor animals that chew their
cud. Again. cut hay or straw slightly
moistened and sprinkled with ground
grain is much more palatable, and stock
prefer il 10 unmixed aud whole TODD. and
maintain more vigorous appetites than IL
confined to the unprepared food. n
baked potato, with salt, pepper and butter
is a dish that a hungry king wouldn't turn
from; but beggar would despise The
meal if obliged to derour the potato first,
then the salt, and the pepper and butter.
Ii is the faculty of mixing food right that
tickles the palate. Every observing far
mer who has tried the experiment, knows
tina, his stock prefer cut feed and ground
grain mixed and luoistencd, to the same
article fed whole Though there Is no
nutriment in food thus prepared, yet the
animal system gets more out Of 1t, and
less is passed of in the excremcnts. The
question of economy in the matter must
be decided by the value of labor as COM
pared with the alue of food in each locali
~ where stock is fed

II Is better than landed estates to have
had the right kind Of father and mother.
Good breeds and bad breeds exist among
men as really as among herds or horses.
Education may do much to check evil
tendencies, or to develop good ones, bnt
it is good to inherit the right proportion
of faculties to start with. The mans ricn
who has flavor Of wit and fun IN MS
composition. The hardest thing to get
along with in this life is ones own sell.
A cross, selfish fellow, responding and
complaining fellow, atimid, care burdened
man-these are all deiormed on the
inside. Their feet may not limp, but
their thoughts do. A man Of fortune, on
the brink of the grave, would gladly part
with every dollar to obtain longer lease
of life.

front and Salmon Nursery.

The Lake Village Times gives dcS-
cription of McssrS. Robinson & Hoyts

which we learn the following:
The water is supplied by cold springs,
which bubble from the banks of shaded

vary more than three degrees in temper

10 81 degrees The brook thus formed
has been damned at three points. form

in which the trout are placed according
to size, the "Old Aldermen" occupying
the lower pond, where they made the WA
ter foam at every bit OF food which Is

tain some 24,OO0 brook trout, from the
little fellows not an inch in length, 10 the

der the surface of the water, thus RENE

dicular screens, which caught the floating
rubbish until they became clogged and
the ponds oyerfowed. From the lower
pond u fishway leads 10 the brook below,
at the upper end ofwhich box placed.
Many wild trout, ascending the brook,
make their way up the fishway and into
the box, from which there is no escape,
until they are taken out and placed in the
pond ~ prisoners. Another dam is soon

There are now in the nursery 5000
Young salmon Try, Matched for the State

from New Brunswick. Six thousand
yearling salmon were placed in the Penn

are within substantial building. and all
the arrangements are rs complete as the
present progress Of the science can make
them. The proprietors have been I'M
usually successful in breeding andrasing
trout and salmon. They enter into their
business with zest and genuine love for
the work. ard expend time and money

Scrofulous poison Is one OF the most Destructive
enemies OF our race. Oflcn, this unseen snd unielt

Il seems To breed Infection throughout the body and

plants generally find immediate relief, and, at

Heart Disease, Fits, Epilepsy. Neuralgia,
and the various Ufcerous affections Of the muscu-
lar and nervous systems.
Syphilis or Venereaf and Mercu,iaI Diseases
are cured by IL, though long time Is required for
subduing these obstinate maladies by any medicine
But long continued use OF this medicine will cure
the complaint. LemeorrhGd or Hhffes, Uterine
Uicerafions, and Female Diseases, are COM
monty soon relieved and ultimately cured by its
purifying and inyigor2ting effect. Minute Direc-
