PosT-MAsTERs and other persons throughout
the country are in daily receipt of speciously
worded circulars from Oroide Watch dealers
In New York city, to invest, or to act as agents,
for some so-called celebrated Oroide Watch.
Our readers will save themselves, and perhaps
their friends, from humbuggery in this matter,
by remembering that Oroide is simply high
sounding word for brass, and that Oroide is
orass-only brass and nothing more. The
brass is tinctured with some preparation to
prevent Its coloring, and is called Oroide, but
the value per pound is the same as the original
brass. In suit brought against New York
firm, by the National Watch Company, for
advertising Elgn watches G. o. D., numerous
Express agents throughout the country made
affidavit as to the worthless character of most
OF the watches sold by G. @. D. advertisements,
and of the numerous class of Oroide Watches
sent out by Express from New York. The
agent at Madison, Wis, testified that =" of all
OF that class of Watches that had passed
through his hands, he had never known one
10 prove worth a five dollar note, and that the
purchasers were invariably dissatisfied, and
considered themselves swindled." Other
Agents testified from practical observation to
the same effect. In view of the light thus
thrown upon the Oroide Watch business, we
trust none of our readers may be taken in by
those circulars. If person is inclined to buy
awatch, let him go to a dealer whom he
knows, and can hold responsible, and buy a
watch OF known character and of value, such
as those. made at Elgin, ILL.,, Roxbury and
Waltham, Mass, and by the best Swiss
makers they are all good, and will all last
five times as long as the Oroide watches. 1t
certainly is better investment to pay twice
as much, and get valuable article, than it is
to pay out money and have piece of brass to
show for it.

Turning Cut Straw Into Hay.

A METHOD of using cut straw is adopted
in Cambridgeshire and adjoining counties,
which is worthy the notice of agriculture
lists elsewhere, as it is stated that by means
OF it the value of the straw as food is
greatly increased. The method pursued
IN the counties adverted to is this: I'm
less the straw can be cut as it is threshed,
take it as soon after as convenient (before
it has been exposed to rain), and cut it fine,
sitting out all the imperfectly cut, and
having covered the floor of capacious
room-say the NOW of barn-about a
foot thick with it, lay thereon, in two or
three heaps-s six to eight bushels in
each chopped tares, clover, grass, nettles,
or any succulent that will ferment ION
these some parties pour few gallons of
boiling water), and cover them immedi-
ately with the cut straw, which must be
well trodden down as the process of filing
proceeds, during which salt, in the pro-
portion OF about a quarter of cwt. to
ton of chaff, may be sprinkled in. The
consolidation must be strictly attended to,
and it is best to have a number of bows
with man constantly and slowly travers-
ing the mass as it rises, so that the chaff
may, if possible, be compressed as tightly as
hops in pocket. In the course of a few
days fermentation viii setin, and probably
continue for three or four weeks; the de-
gree of heat may be ascertained by thrust
ing an iron rod to the centre of the mass;
after it has subsidized the chaff will have
acquired the scent of hay, and will keep
for any length of time. In some cases
where clover or other green vegeta-
bles are not available, only salt is added,
and some use half cwt. of salt to ton
of chaff. In treading the mass, board
10 inches long, and six or seven in width
is laced on the foot. Mr.. Robert Maynard,
a manufacturer of agricultural nipple
ments, of the Whittlesford Works, near
Cambridge, has invented special sitting
chaff engine, adapted for the purpose of
cutting and sitting the chaff, and which
can be attached to horse works, or moored
by any portable steam engine-London
and Edi7a Farmer.

The Season and its Dangers.

The human body is chiefly composed of tissues
and fbres as sensitive to every change in the con-
diton of the atmosphere as the most delicate cleo
trometer, or the quicksilver in barometer tube.
The stomach, the skin, the nerves, the lungs and
the excretory organs especially liable to be af-
fected by these variations, and the best defense
against their disastrous tendency is to keep the di-
gestlve machinery, which feeds and nourishes the
whole system, in good working order.
If the stomach is weak or disordered neither the
blood nor the bile can be in a healthy state, and
upon the fitness of these two important fluids for
the offices assigned to them by nature and the reg
ularity of their flow, health in great measure de-
ponds.
When the air is heavily laden with chilling va
pors it often is at this season of the year, the
digestion should be an object of peculiar care If
it is weak and languid the whole physical structure
will be enervated. Ii it is vigorous the entire or
ganzation will be strong to resist the untoward
and depressing influence of damp and vitiated at
mosphere.
A pure and powerful tonic is therefore especially
needed as a safeguard against the diseases most
common in the spring, and Hostetter's Stomach
Btters being the most wholesome and potent med
icine of the class at present known, course of it
is particularly advisable at this period of the year
ened the liver and bowels regulated, the nervous
system braced up, and nature put in state of act
i've defense against the masma which superin-
duces intermittent and remittent fevers, rheuma-
tisms, nervous debility, headache, hypochondria
and other complaints which are apt to assail the
untoned and unfortifed organizations. The body
is strengthened without exciting the BRAIN and
consequently no unpleasant reaction follows its
ViVing and renOYating operation

A soul endow d her, she was sure to sin
