HayIng.

The hay crop this year is abundant.
1t IS of more value than any other
crop. Last year, tame hay was almost
a failure. Prairie hay and corn fodder
were used as substitutes. The ques-
ton for every stock raiser to decide is,
How shall [ secure this valuable
crop in the best possible condition e.
Timothy should be cut before it is
ripe, and the stalk woody. Some
writer's say thai It should be cut when
the seed is in the dough state. Others
say, that when in full bloom, is the best
time. If for young cattle, COWS and
sheep, it is better cut early. For
horses, it is best cut in the dough state.
Glover should be cut when half of the
blossoms have turned brown. Grass
should not be cut when it is wet, nor
should it be exposed more than a half
day to the hot sun. It should always
be put into good sized cocks before it
Is dry, and let it cure. A vast amount
of hay IS every year damaged by being
exposed several days to the scorching
rays of the sun.
Better put up the hay when it is half
cured. 1t will come out green, and
will be eaten with a better relish, and
will go further, Hay cut in the fore
noon of a fair dag should be put into
cocks IN the afternoon. The cocks can
be secured from rain by Gaping them
with prairie grass.
When hay is put up in ricks or long
stacks, and pitched by hand, it should
be pitched alternately on both sides Of
the stack This will cause it to settle
evenly. When it is pitched on to one
side only, it viii settle with the layers
of hay lower on one side than on the
other, thereby causing the rain to run
into the middle of the stack. Grain
stacks will almost invariably lean when
the sheayes are pitched to one side in
stead of both.
Instead of trying to make hay in such
cloudy, RAINY weather, as we had last
week, it would be better to get NOW
ers, rakes, pitchforks, etc, all ready,
and when good weather does come, be
prepared to make hay lively, while the
sun shines.-J p. Bartlett an Prairie
Farmer.

AN EAGLE STORY John D. Fries, of
South Coventry Township, Penn, is
trying the experiment of raising an
eagle, Matched by hen. The Pottsville
Ledger gives the following account:
-" About month ago, while on Nyce's
Hill, he saw large bird fly up from
lonely place among the rocks. Pro-
ceeding to the spot he discovered two
eggs, which he picked up, brought
home and placed under setting hen.
About a week ago the eggs were hatch
ed out, and Mr.. Fries was astonished to
see that they were eagles. The old hen
must have been considerably surprised,
for she spluttered about and tramped
upon one of her rare progeny and kill
ed it, The other one will probably
grow up and do well. Eagles some
times carry off chickens, and it would
be rather a joke if this specimen would
some day gather up the old hen that
Matched it and fly away with her."

A PerIIOus Season.


Glorious and delightful as the Summer weather is
its tropical heat Is trial to the vital powers
Even the strongest sometimes Frustrated by its
effects. The common phrase applied to this condi-
ton of the body is general debility" Now, general
debility arises from, and includes variety of all
ments. The liver is less affected, the bow
els are either constipated or too much relaxed the
stomach but half performs the work of digestion the
appetite is poor and the spirits depressed. This is
what is called general debility. It general disar-
rangement of all the physical functions and requires
remedy medicine that will regulate them all
Hostetter's Stomach Btters is specially adapted to
this purpose Its general operation is not confined
to single organ. If the liver is effected it restores
its tone. If the stomach is torpid, it regen-
crates it. If the tremulous and
weak, it braces and reinforces them. If the mind,
which ever sympathizes with the body, is gloomy
and Respondent it relieves the difficulty, and
brings the whole mechanism OF the body into har-
mony with the laws of health.
There is no civilized nation in the Western Hem
isphere in which the utility of Hostetter's Stomach
Biters tonic, corrective and ant-bilious medi-
cine is not known and appreciated Throughout the
Tropics, it is considered, both by the people and the
profession, the standard specific. While it is
medicine for all seasons and all climates it is
pecialy suited to the complaints generated by the
weather. being the purest and best vegetable stimu
liant in the world.
Beware of the Bitters made of acrid and danger

legion, and the public has guarantee that they
not poisonous. Adhere to the tried remedy Hos

Through Life.

We slight the gifts that every season bears,
And let them fall UNDECIDED from our grasp,
In our geeat eagernsss to reach and clasp
The promised treasure of the coming years
Or else we mourn some great good passed away,
And in the shadow of our grief shut in,
Refuse the lesser good yet might win,
The offered peace and sadness of to-day.
So through the chambers of our life we pass,
And leave them one by one, and never stay,
Not knowing how much pleasantness there was
In each until the closing of the door
Has sounded through the house, and died away,
And in our hearts we sigh, " For evermore."

A correspondent of the Iowa Home
stead says sensible words, as follows:
" Tend your corn e0eIl; tend it late
don't be deferred because a timid
neighbor, who may like an excuse for
neglect, says you viii ruin 1t if tended
when the blades curl up. This is all
bosh the blades will open as the sun
recedes behind the tree tops, and your
corn will grow apace. Ii you abandon
your corn early, that inevitable late
crop of weeds and grass will come upon
your land like a cloud, and in place of
corn you will reap nubbins. Therefore,
We say, tend your land late, and crowd
it with flew tons of turnips, by having
the late weeds and grass exterminated,
your ground in mellow condition, and
sowing thereon few pounds of turnip
seed about the goth Of August"

Miss Mary L. Booth, of Harper's Ba-
Ear: 81 imagine woman slightly

ure, fair English complexion, very
prominent forehead, thoughtful grey
eyes, looking through eyeglasses (she
is near-sighted), large mouth, dis
closing two rows of pretty teeth, soft
brown hair, smoothly brushed back
over Pompadour roll, and you have a
correct picture of Miss Booth. She is
a native of New England, is a hard stu
dent and accomplished scholar. Dur
ing the four years she has edited the
Bazaar she has been absent from the
office but twenty days. Besides the
four thousand dollars salary received
from the Harpers, Miss Booth realizes

tons, which are models in their way
for clearness of diction and purity of
style. She owns several valuable houses
in the city, and lives in quiet elegance

FARM. GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.


For Files on Horses.
The Journal of Chemistry gives the
following as preventative OF horses
being teased by flies:
"Take two or three small handfuls
of walnut leaves, upon which pour
three quarts of cold water, let it infuse
one night, and pour the whole next
morning into kettle, and lett boil
for quarter of an hour. When cold 1T
will be fit for use. The way to use it
is to moisten sponge, and before a
horse goes out of the stable, let those
parts which are most irritable be
smeared over with liquor, viz: Between
and upon the ears, and neck, and
TANKS, etc. Not only the gentleman or
lady who rides out for pleasure will
derive pleasure from the walnut leaves
thus prepared, but the coachman, the
WAGNER, and all others who use horses
during the hot weather"

Wet earth and leaYes.
Day after day she toiled
with patient art but, ere her work was crown'd,
Some sad mishap the tiny fabric spoiled,
And dashed it to the ground.

Yet not cast down, forth from her place she few,
And with her mate fresh earth and grasses brought

General Grant, you can't go to Rich
mond, for General Lee is there; you can't
go to Petersburg. for General Beauregard
is there; you cant go to Heaven, for Stone
