Storing HAY.
The Country Gentleman says:

The Country Gentleman says:
Hay should be stored and managed much
as the Chinese manage their tea. When
ready for storage. it should be kept as closely
from the air as possible. If it could be her
medically sealed up, no fermentation or decay
could take place. Air is the great destroyer
of dead, organic matter, and it is the great
agent in giving vitality to matter which has
life. 1t is ever busy in decomposing that it
may have material wherewith to recompose,
and If we can keep air away from grass, it
will be preserved from decay just as pieplant
peaches, ETC., as preserved when canned. The
hay in the middle of large NOW is to all in
tents and purposes Theoretically sealed-that
is, no air penetrates to it-and this hay will
be found with the natural strength undated
Its aroma will be like that of green tea, and
cattle feeding upon 1t will be strengthened
and eXhilerated.
This leads US to say that there is a certain
principle in hay analogous 20, if not identical
with, the theme Of tea, which is volatile, and
therefore wastes when hay is dried too much,
or is moved after it has once been stored in
the NOW. This principal, which we call
theme for want OF better name, eyerts the
same influence on the animal economy as tea
does upon man: 1t strengthens. exhilerates
and prevents the waste of animal tissue. We
feel this eXhilerating and strengthening effect
while We are working in the hay, for it i.
patent to the most common observer that no.
where does lie feel his muscle so braced up to
work as when in the hay field, or pitching off
load of hay. To preserve this theme is one
great secret in storing hay. 1t abounds more
when the grass is in bloom, and at this time
grass should be cut and dried with as little
exposure to sunshine and rain as possible
The sun evaporates it, and the rain soaks it
out. When ready for storage, it should be
put in large and tight bays, and the closer it
is compressed the better, and when the hay is
ted out, the m0ws should be cut down so as
to expose as little surface to the air as posi-
bic. Every one knows that hay moved from
one barn 10 another does not spend well
The reason is that the theme evaporates in
transportation. Tea cannot be moved from
one chest to another without losing some of
ITS virtue, and the not uncommon practice of
throwing upon the barn floor over night the
hay which is to be fed out in the morning, is
as foolish as it would be for the housewife to
take out at one meal from the tea caddy the
allowance Tor the next drawing Much ofthe
aroma goes into the thin air The hay crop
Is too precious to be thus wasted.

GIVING 1T UP MANY of the radical
papers OF this district, and especially the
U5sion of this city. have been open for bids
from the democracy, but cannot find any
one who wants tc buy them. The Quincy
Journal supposed to be republican in poll

"And the best joke of all is that there is
no way of getting at that $4,000
This ls the first paper to give it up, and
fairly acknowledge that the democrats are
not buying votes as these same papers rave
so loudly asserted they intended to do. Now
1t Is time Tor them to say something about
their own candidate, about how he is buy
lug votes, with office and promises of office

he has some that he made two years ago,
aud about which so many who supported
him then are so Internally mad. The
amount of grief that these papers have had
over that $50, 900 is indeed, pittiable to
behold. Let democrat approach them
and kick dust in their faces and they guip

some Of that $50 900 back of it They next
consoled themselves with fancIed dissati :
