TIMOTHY HAY.-If timothy hay is not dry
when put into the barn, some mold will gather
ON it, which makes Z dust very hurtful to
horses. On lined rolls hsy will be dusty, and
the dust acrid and productive of coughs. If
wetted before feeding, the dust would be pre-
vented in q measure, but if cut and wetted, the
dust would be effectuslly prevented from injur-
ing the horses. Salt, spreSd on the hay when
put into the barn, few handfnls at time, will
prevent mould and keep down dust, as the hay
will be slways little moist.

war the Weld was about 100, 600 tierces last

Archbishop John B. Purcell, Of Cincinnati, in

the words of advice given by Archbishop Nc
Closkey to the Catholics of New York, in regard
to the procession, and added that it was easy for
the Archbishop to give good advice which he was
poweress to enforce As to the right Of the
Orangemen to march in procession through the
streets, he ssid there could be no question in
this country. Their right to do so was IN
doubted. The course taken by Mayor Hall and
Superintendent of Police Kelso, he regarded AS
very ndiscreet "Oh, the poor Irish, " he said,
CT they are all hurry and hurry, but take no
tce that somebody else does the shooting, and 1t
is they that get shot" The Archbishop's re-
mark is all very we'll, but it seems by the fun
erals of the New York militia men, that the
'' Irish, - on this occasion at least, did some of
the s. shooting"
