PAYMENT or SMALL BILLS. The pay
ment Of small bills is "a matter of much
more importance than is generally attached
to il. There are not few who, in times
when business is little depressed and the
prospect for the future seems more than
usually unsettled, will hold ON to their cash
in hand and tell all the collectors who wait
on them with overdue bills to "call again."
while the payment would not give them
any serious inconvenience, and would ac-
commodate large and deserving class of
creditors. Indeed, We know of nothing
that in quiet way would 90 so far to give
animation to the markets throughout the
country as the universal iulfilment of obl-
cations at the first opportunity. If all the
little debts Tor the discharge of which the
debtors now have the cash actually on hand
were paid at once, the wheels of business
would be fabricated and "A general jollity"
soon prevail throughout the land. The first
serious effect on trade Of amy public excite
ment comes from the sudden check of those
little streams. 1t is true the large transac-
tons are arrested, but if everybody went to
paying these little debts the check would
be momentary, rs business would be forced
along the current thus continually renewed.
Let every man whose eyes fall ON these
lines pay out his ready money for bills he
knows to he due, and not stop until his
pockets are emptied. Probably before this
is realized the return current will reach his
pocket, too, and he be able to ill his obli-
cations. There is As much money as ever
as much currency as ever. Who stops its
flow? Let it move ON for a prompt pay
ment OF bills now due, and new business
win catch the inspiration and start off upon
a fresh gallop.-Ne,C York J0arHdt of COm-
merce.

HEST H.EE'.

There is probably no part of the farmers
labor that requires the eNcr, Use of greater
Judgment than this, since upon its SUCCESS
tul accomplishment depends the condition
and welfare Of the stock. There is no one
but ha' noticed with what aVidty the herd
will deNour the richly perfumed, well cured
hay, and with what diSrelsh they attempt
10 sustain life, perhaps by eating musty,
unsavory fodder. Now is it not question
whether hay can he cut too early, from this
fact, that ii is generally considered that the
aftermath or rowen is the best hay that can
be given TO mill, cows, increasing the flow
of milk considerably more than the hay
from more mature grass. 1t is said that in
some portions of Switzerland where the
fields are irrigated as many as six or seven
tons of hay are cut from an acre by cutting
as many times, which is as soon as the grass
has fair growth, and long before it even
arrives at the period of blooming. One
thing is certain, that cattle, when left to
roam the pastures and select their own food,
instead of selecting the more mature por-
ton as their free choice, invariably choose
the younger and more succulent, so that in
time, the pasture presents the singular APP
pearance of being covered in parts with
maturcd hay, and in others closely grazed;
nor is this peculiar TO cattle alone, since the
same desire pervades the horse and sheep
kind. So, then, the desire of animals so far
as it can he expressed, seems to favor a
young growth. Another fact, too, is fire.
quently noticed, in the falling off in flesh,
in the change from pasture to the stable and
vice versa, and again in the fall fattening
Of stock by pasture alone, which the most
successful farmer would little think of do
ing by feeding of hay. Now all of this
would seem to point to the necessity, al
most, to say nothing of the advantage, of
cutting hay while young and tender If
any have doubts let them place quantity
of both kinds before their animals, and they
will soon find that tire youngest cut hay if
properly cured, will be the first to disap-
pear.-N. u. Farmer

How MOSQUITOES BITE.-The mosquito
has proboscis like an elephant, only not
so large. II will, however, look nearly as
large under a microscope. He cannot do rs
many handy things with it as the elephant
can do with his, but he can cause Il good
deal Of annoyance in small way with ii.
1t is hardly the thing to say that the mos
quito bites us, for he has no teeth The
microscope reveals the fact that he sarries
pair Of scissors inside of his proboscis--
the neatest and sharpest little cutting tools
you ever saw. lie gets his living by these.
They are two delicate little blades, and are
placed alongside of each other. When he
is ready to make a meal on Of us, he first
buZzes around with those beautiful wings,
and sings "A pleasant little song. If we let
him quietly settle down, he picks out a
place on our skin which Is lust to his lik-
ing. lie is very delicate about it. When
he gets ready, he puts his proboscis down,
and pushes the little scissors out, and MAKE s
a neat cut, so that he can suck the blood
| out Then he drinks rs much blood rs he
wants, and is done his dinner. But he does
not leave yet. He is going to pay his bill.
lie has taken our blood, and he will leave
us something in exchange for it. With all
his faults, he is an honest little fellow after
his fashion. lie has the pay in his pocket,
ready to squeeze out before he goes. 1t is
| poison; but that makes no difference to
him. II is the best he has to give us. His
poison pocket is at the head of his probos-
els, and at the lower end of his proboscis
he has another little pocket, into which he
puts poison enough for one dose. This
poison is very powerful. A very little OF
it makes the place where the mosquito puts
it very sore. After he has sucked our blood
he puts the drop of poison into the place he
took the blood from. 1t is not the bite OF
the cut that the mosquito makes that hurts
us, but the dropping of this powerful poison
Into our flesh. If this mosquito were large
enough to give a powerful dose of this poi
son, 1t would be bad for w. If he were as
big as a kitten and his poison as strong in
proportion, "bite" from him would Kill
