The Chicago Ecening Post, everybody

there are few good things in the Demo

a great many good things in the Republican

is no more necessity just at this time, how
ever. we are inclined to think, for a REIN
forcement of the party by a regular deluge
of raw recruits from the Democracy. We
have uubounded confidence in the capa.

should be misunderstood, we desire to say
explicitly and with emphasis, that the

A farmer of sound judgement, and large
experience in eating and storing hay, est
mates his own loss in stacking at twenty five
per cent He cuts probably Il hundred tons
=. YEAR, and stacks a fifth part OF 1t for want Of
bsru-room. He has very properly made up
his mind TO build u new barn. We think
his estimate is not wide from the mark.
There is a large loss from moulding at the
bottom of the stack, and old rails, boards, or
straw will not wholly prevent it. Then the
whole external surface for three or four in
ches is weather beaten, and loses much OF
its sweetness; and it is not improbable that
this loss Of aroma extends through the whole
stack.
The conviction is universal among nteli
gent men that barn stored hay is worth much
more than that which is taken from the stack.
Why then follow this wastetnl practice =?
Look at the loss of this farmer who cuts one
hundred tous Of hay worth $4,000 Accord
ing to his own estimate he pays 500 year
for the privilege of stacking one,ftth of his
crop. This is but small part of the loss
where the hay is fed ont at the stack. II
costs at least third more hay to keep cat
tie without shelter These are strong argu.
ments for more barn.room.
DR., Nichols, the editor Of the Boston
Journal Of Chemistry, records an expen
ment on this subject which cannot but have
great interest for farmers. He says that he
had one acre Of grass, red top and clover
that was cut June l3, and the hay stored by
itself. On the first Of last March he put hi
herd of ten cows upon it, aud the immedl
ate increase in the flow Of milk amounte
to ten quarts per day. The hay fed ther
before was of the same variety; but cut al
ter the middle Of July, The early cut hs
Spent fully IS well as the latter cut, nj
more of it was consumed, and DR.. Nichol
estimates that the money value Of the pro
duct from this hay, fed to ten cows, wa'
greater by near dollar day than that
from the other. DR.. Nichols also repeats
the opinion he has expressed before, that
most hay is dried too much, and declares
that if grass is entirely freed from external
moisture, as that in the form Of due and
rain, it will cure better in the NOW thar
anywhere else, provided enough exposure
TO wind and sun is bad to cause one half o
the water circulating in the vessels of til
plant to be evaporated This is accom-
plshed in six or eight hours Of favorabl
weather.

set me thinking how easy ii would be for few
enterprising American women, who possess a
fair knowledge of drawing, to come over and
learn the mosaic art thoroughly, and return to
their own country to furnish ornamental picto-
rial and monumental mosaic to all who require
a decoration which alone dehes wind, smoke,
and water.
Should this mosaic art ever become fashion
able in America, il will be question whether
the enamels should be imported or manufactured.
The art of making enamels is certainly more
difficult than that of putting them together, ana
it is the general opinion that those manutac-
tured in England are not equal to those produced
ut MuranO, first by Lorenzo Pradi, in TINS
century, and now by the Anglo-ltalian Company.
The colored enames, which are formed OF the
same materials of which common glass is made,
with the addition of certain mineral sub
stances, depends for opaqueness, solidtty ana
soitness of hue and color, chiefly on the
degree and continuance of heat to which they
are subjected in the process of fusion, and also
on the careful elaboration of the different ele-
ments ] have seen blocks come out of the fur
mace as dull as brick or transparent Ms window
glass; in either case unfit to render the effect OF
painting. The gold and silver enamels in which
n gold or silver leaf is imprisoned by the action
of fire between ground OF thick glass below
and n film of the purest glass above are still
more difficult to bring to perfection; but in this,
as in all cases, practice makes perfect.
Before leaving my favOrite haunt on the
Campo Vic, let me say n word about the glass
blowing department, which has progressed in
like proportion to the mosaic. Not only have
aUthe lost secrets of the past been recovered
secrets of color form, and manipulation-but
new combinations of paste and new methods of
assimilation are daily being evolved from the
fairy fingers of the glass-blowers of Murano.
The largest and most elaborate glass chandelier
ever manufactured has just been sent home to
Prince Giovanelli, who has ordered five others

eighteen on the upper tier, and between the two
