winter have given to each from half
pint to pirt day of whole oats, and
am satisfied that they have grown as fast
as they would have done on summer
pasture. The growth, too, is of the right
character-in the bones; they are thrifty
and lusty without being at all fat, and I
think have better chance of becoming
copious, bony cows and good mixers

corn meal to their calves, and observe
that the effect is very different from ths

agricultural,


There exists prejudice against moles.
proceeding from pure ignorance. It fs
supposed that they eat and thus injure
the roots of plants; and, acting under
this impression, farmers have for centu-
ries done their utmost to destroy these
to them SO useful animals. Why in this
time no one ever opened mole to see
what he had in nis stomach, knowing
that what he had eaten must be there, is
as surprising as many other points OIL
wi iah people are satisfied with their be-
liefand piejudiees. and do not care 10
take the trouble to get better iniormn-
tion. Mr.. Weber, of Zurich, in Switzer-
land, reported, three years ago, that he
had carefully examined the stomachs OF
fifteen moles, taken in different places,
and had not found in them the least
trace of roots or plants, but only REM
nants of worms. As vegetables take
longer time to digest than animal food,
which is merely absorbed, they surely
would have been found if th " had been
eaten. Mr.. Weber, not satified with
this, inclosed two moles in box with
earth, fresh turf, and plenty of woIms.
In nine days he found that the two moles
had eaten 34l- white worms, 1893 earth-
worms, and 25 caterpillers, as well as a
mouse, which he had put in the box
alive,and which was eaten with skin and
bone. He then gave them meat and
vegetables, and found they only ate the
meat. Finally, he gave them va
riety of vegetables alone, and they died
of hunger. 1t is easily calculated from
these and other data that each mole can
destroy ten Thousand white worms in a
year, prevent the development of hun
dreds OF butterflies, and so the deposit
tion of thousands of eggs, and their sub
scquent Matching into caterpillars.

their seeds over the farm, and are very
likely to grow. ...
When you see fence down, put it up;

VALUE OF FRUIT.

A Paris journal recently stated that
can eminent French physician says The
decrease Of dyspepsia and bilious af-
fectiens in Paris is owing to the increas-
ed consumption of apples, which fruit,
he maintains prophylactic and tonic, as
well as very nourishing and easily di-
gested article of food. The Parisians
devour one hundred millions of apples
every winter.
An eminent New England physician
has remarked, after nearly forty years
experience, that when the fruit has been
cut off in the towns to which his prac-
tice was mainly limited, there was al
ways an increase of bilious troubles and
usually larger tnan average amount of
general sickness.

The best and cheapest mode of adye >
tising in the world is that i'll the newspa
pers. Every euccessful advertiser will
say this: Seed strewn there-ifthe seed
is good for anything-always brings up
a crop of some value, most generally a
hundred fold. Placarding the dead
walls, and showering hnnd-bills
among the people, are auxiliars in adj
vertising, but it is doubtful whether, as
a rule, they more than pay the expense,
while there is no doubt that they are
nuisance. The blankets ofdead walls is
only disfigured by posters, provoking,
in the we'll regulated mind, a sense of
aversion to the man who so advertises
and the articles upon whose excellences
expatiates; VIII le as to haad-bills, moth

A SAD STORY.

Two daughters ofa Southern planter
are now slaves in Brazil. The planter
emigrated thither at the close of the war
and was unsuccessful. The Brazilian
laws are such that when citizen be-
GENES in debt, If he has no property, his
children are sold as slaves, the prices
they bring going to the payment of the
obligation. The Nashville Republican
Banner says when he reached Brazil,
unwisely become naturalized as South
American citizen, and subject to the
laws, thus, by his own violation expa-
triating himself from his native count
ry and its protection. He became ir-
volved in debt to some Brazilians. His
children were sold as slaves. Thus his
two daughters, now grown up Tennes-
see young ladies, are slaves doing me-
nial work for unlettered masters and
mistresses in Brazil, their price paying
a devoted but unfortunate fathers debt.
The amount of the debt, we understand,
is 81, 200 in gold, and steps have been tax
en- to have that amount placed in the
hands ofthe father.

Low, in obedience to its commands, the
sword hangs up in the temple of peace.
And may it hang there until it rust and
ret in its scabbard-or If sooner removed
may it be beaten into the harmless plow
share of peace. Honorable Judges, many
of us were not actors in that bloody dra-
ma. We know only of it through the
reliable, mighty pen, and that same pen,
which has informed us, has likewise col.
lected together. and preserved for all
time, the deeds of those who fell in that
fratricidal struggle.
The pen is creative. 1t lays the foun-
dations OF nations, Kingdoms and en-
pires. To 1t we owe all we are, have
been, and hope to be. Untutored and
untaught, and differing but little from
the brute creation, the pen has enlight-
ened, cultivated, and refined the human
soul, and thus made visible the seal Of
Divinity, after whose image man was
made. In obedience to its commands,
the rock-ribbed mountains have been
tunnelled, the desert made to bloom and
blossom like the rose. 1t has enabled us

MAKING POUETRY PRoFITABLE

The place to which yoHr chickens re-
tire ought to have dry floor, and be
kept scrupulously clean; and as the
floor is the coolest part of the room, their
roosts ought not to be more than twelve
inches high, and TO he slanting, which
will keep the warm air iD'the roost.--
Sitting hens can be cured putting water
in vessel to the depth of one inch, put
ting the hen into and covering the top Of
the vessel for about twenty-four hours.
The vessel should be deep enough TO al
low the fowl to stand up. This is the
hes; remedy we have ever tried. Earth
