Aids to Digestion.

The more easily food can be liz
gested the more rapidly it vii. be as
simulated to be employed in forming
fat and muscle, and in supplying
the necessary fuel for keeping up
animal heat. In the rumiuants,
food, is OF coarse, chewed over q see
ond time, and as rule is more Ell
fectualIy maSticated than is the ease
with horses and pigs, Still, however
perfectly m@astication may be per
formed, a good deal OF food, espe-
cially grain, escapes the grinding nc
ton Of the teeth, and passes through
the stomach and ~alimentary canal
undigested. Proof Of this may be
observed in grain Of oats, whicl ac-
tually terminate. after passing
through the digestive canal OF a
horse. An immense saving is af-
fected by bruising, pulping, and
crushing all kinds Of food given to
feeding stock and draught horses,
and the onlyEwonder is, when so
many clever machines are to be pur-
chased, that the practice is not uni
yersally adopted, We are no beliey-
er5 in giving food to animals con-
densed into a small space; bulk is in
all cases essential to healthy action
Of the digestive organs, but concen-
tratsd matters containing highly
nutritiye properties may be rend =
ed most valuable and efficient, by
adopting the easy process of cutting
hay and straw into chatf, and mix
ing it in with the condensed ma
terial. Straw especially may be utiIi-
zed in this way, that under
other conditions, an animal would
not eat. The food is quicker and
easier passed on to be digested, the
longer time a beast has to sleep
and rest, and hence the waste of ma
teyial consequent upon moving about
is economizing.-Laad and Water,

Country Life Preferable.

Oh, this constant, n~eyer-co1s,ng
twirl in the current of city life
VIII it always be 50? Will the
whirl, and hustle, and confusion al
ways have such an attraction? As
long as moths futter around q can
die, human moths wi doubtless fut-
ter around the light that the city ex-
tends. And yet how much swceter
and more attractive life the country
is! Especially is it to a woman.
In the country, whatever her circum-
stances Of fortune, woman finds that
which is an imperative want of her
nature-a refined home. In a city,
ifpoor she cannot escape, or shield
her children from the noisy, vulgar
life swarming around her: the tene-
ment-lodging or the socond-rato
clearinghouse only remain to her.
But under a pure sky, in a balmy at
mostphere, the bumblest cottage
Nesting at the fo3t Of The mouutain,
or under the shadow Of one Of our
majestic elms, can be the fitted home,
we will not say of rlady-the word
is associated with vulgar protentions
but OF a gentle-woman.

Clover.

The uuantity of clover seed prop
er Tor an acre Of land is about ten
pounds-some says less. But as q
general thing our farmers SOW too
little grass to the acre. European
farmers recommend sowing it in the
spring, after the grass is up, and
narrowing it in. One writer re-
commends ploughing it in, which
enables it to bear the drought bet
ter, and makes it less liable to win
ter-kill. 1t is a well known fact
that some Of our fields sown to clover
are winter-killed the first year after
sowing, and at present it is a most
uncertain crop. Glover being an
early grass, many farmers are apt to
let it stand too long before cutting;
hence much OF its excellencY is lost.
Last season there was very little
white clover, it being winter-killed;
and it will take several seasons to
get it back into the fields and pas
lures. If the new Alsike clover
does as well is promised, it would be
advisable for farmers to throw
aside the red clover and SOW some
thing that will stand the rigor OF
our northern climate and grow on
damp soils. Especially would we
recommend it to farmers who en-
gage in bee culture, as it is said to
be equal to white clover. The fact
is, our farmers must raise more grass
or keep less stock Concord Monitor.
