CURING HAY.--ln regard to the curing
of hay the Journal n the Furm remarks as
follows "With their carefully prepared
roots and herbs, many of our mothers or
grandmOthcrs could as well alleviate the
ills Of humanity as can many of college
bred NJ. ID. IS; but note with what care
those roots and herbs were gathered and
prepared. That they might retain a!lther
virtues they wclc invariably cured in the
shade Now we, rs farmers, may learn
from this lesson Of wisdom aud practical
utility, IA applied TO the hay field. Cure
in the shade, versus make hay while the
sun shines. Now the question arises,
/ which of these two antagonistic principles
or maXims shall we follow; certainly, after
due reelection, all vii. admit That hay cured
in the shade is superior 10 that cured in
the sun, whereas the former method re-
quircs more labor than the latter. In an
swer to the above interrogations both the
price Of hay aud the price Of labor must be
taken into consideration therefore, in
general, we reply if labor is plenty and
hay commanding large prices, cure in the
shade but if labor is high and hay at low
figures, cure in the sun. There are also
other matters to be taken into account
! Thus large crop of clover should invaria-
bly, be cut and partially wiitcd, gathered
up in hay-cocks of suitable size and allowed
to sweat day or two ; then open the same
and, after an hours exposure TO the sun, it
will be in most excellent condition to store
away for winters use. Therefore cure
clover in the shade or cock, not simply be-
cause the sweating process is SO highly
beneficial TO this particular grass, but be-
cause, if the crop be large, it will require,
to sufficiently cure il, at least one or two
days exposure to the sun, andf as matter
| OF necessity, exposing it to the night dew,
and possibly TO an unexpected rain storm.
Now, as a hot sun is particularly injurious
, to clover. and moisture, rs dew or ram, far
more SO, therefore clover, at least, should
be treated in the manner above described,
or cured in the SHADE. Avoid the very
common and injurious practice OF over-cGr-
ing the hay. II the grass is matured when
cut, and does not get wet, it will b. suhi-
cicntly dried or cured in from two to four
hours in favorable weather, clover early
cut and lodged grasses being, Of course, cX-
ceptious.n

MULIsI. There is a man out in Oregon
who has mule. y few days ago he was
driving the animal across the prairie, when
it suddenly stopped. The mau left his
wagon and attempted to induce that mule
to move on, but without success. lie beat
it, he coaXed it, and he cussed it, but it re-
fused to bulge. lie tied fire crackers to
its tail and exploded them, but the mule
merely turned its head in a sort Of langud
way, examined the fire works, and calmly
winked ut the man. Then the man thought
he would build fire under the mule but
as fast as he would kir.dlG fire the mule,
standing firm upon three legs, reached
over with its other leg and kicked the
flames out. Then he tore his hair and
swore--thc man did-and he rushed to the
wagon and got twelve pounds of gunpow-
der, and he dug a hole under that mule and
built mine. Then he covered up the
charge and laid q slow match, and stood
otfa little piece while he lii it. There was
rumble, Il roar then II terrific explosion !;
and amid the cloud Of dust and upheaved
rocks, the mule was observed to throw his
hind legs in the air and support itself upon
its fore feet in that position until the blast
was ever, when it quietly assumed its old
attitude and gentle feature, as it pc received
its master lying down groaning and ours
ING the day on which he was born. 1t was
Of no use. The man went home.

"DAT ISH GOOT" As gentleman
from New ork was taking a glass of wine
at the St. Louis, corner of Freeman and
Hopkins streets, Cincinnati, short time
since, he observed at another table, seated
with several others, a German who seemed
uneasy aud anxious, as if there might have
been n Frauco-Prussiau disturbance be-
tween his beer and himself Presently in
ran little girl, her face radiant with
smiles, eXclaimiug
"Oh, father we've got little baby at
home.n
dat ish gOot,n said the Dutchmau, as
the anxiety disappeared from his counte-
nance "lli up der glasses"
Not many minutes elapsed before in
rushed the little girl again with the an
nOuncement
"Oh, father we've got t,co httle boys at
home
The Dutchman looked a good deal as
tonished and not at all gratiied at this lit
tie family redundancy, but rising at length
to the magnitude of the occasion, he said :
"Vell den dat ish also goot. Fill up der
glasses"
In few minutes again appeared the ra-
diaut messenger, with the astounding proc
lamation
"Oh, father we've got three little boys at
home !"
This was too much even for Teutonic
impossibilities.
"Vell, den," says he, II goes up dare
and stope der ,rboIe tam pisnees."

GRAFTING WAX.-Ihis is an article
that every farmer should keep on haud,
ready for use whenever needed, for it is
valuable for many purposes besides that OF
grating, and, ms Il correspondent OF the
Massachusetts, PiOtumuH remarks, wounds
made in pruning large trees will heal over
much sooner if coated with this wax, and
il piece of bark is accidentally stripped
from a tree, the place should be covered
over with it, and the wood will remain
sound and healthy underneath. There ara
several recipes Tor preparing this wax, and
| have found the following better than any
other one tried: Melt in basIu one pound
of tallow, two pounds Of becswaX and four
pounds of rosu Stir well together, and
keep in Il cool place in the dish in which it
was melted. II beeswaX is very costly
item, a Onc-third less quantity can be used.
This wax is most excellent for sealing the
corks of bottles whose contents are desired
to be air-tight, and for covering cloths to
tie over preserve jars. 1t can be melted
over when required for use, and it will
spread with knife upon baudaSes, etc,
and is the best sealing wax that can be
used for many purposes.

FINDING A VERDICT.-Iu one of the
earliest trials before colored jury in
Texas, twelve gentlemen were told by the
Judge to retire and find verdict" They
went to the jury-room. The sherfis and
others standing outside heard the opening
and shutting of drawers, the slamming of
doors, and other sounds of unusual commo-
tion. At last the jury came back into the
court, when the foreman rose aud said /:
"Massa Judge, we have done looked
everywhar in the drawers and behind the
do, and can't found no verdic', II warn't
in de room"

THE LABOR MOVEMENT.-T serious
ness of the labor troubles in New y Ork,
NAV be understood from the fact that the
eighthour movement has spread from one
trade to another until the hosts number
many thousands, who have resolved to
stop work unless the hours be reduced.
RumOrs of threats and violence had been
rife, not only towards laborers who refused
to participate in the strikes, but in one in
stance aginst employers and capitalists.
One man, who processes to speak for the
eight hour strikers, announces in the col
umns of Il city paper that, rather than give
in to the ten hours, 1--WE would hazard our
lives and lay their (the cmployers') facto-
ries and houses in ashCs.n 1t is not at all
probable that this ferocious individual rep
rcseuts the spirit of his associates, and the
executive committee of the ei.ht-hOur
league repel all such spirit and acts. The
declared purpose is by fair means, in a
general movement, to bring such influence
to bear upon Legislation as Will induce them
to constitute eight hcnrs the legal days
work in the State Of New York, as il is now
in the United States government mechani-
cal employments. There should be, there
fore, no need Of the police of the city OF
New York to repress disorder, as has been
the case in a few instances.
The contaGiOn of strikes has extended to
Philadelphia, where the strikers have risen
against those who control the gas works OF
that city, and, according 10 the Philadel-
phia Press, have the sympathios OF the en-
tire community. The strike originated
from and order charging the workmen for
their tools--a straw which apparently
broke.

A Remarkable Prophecy.

The following, which is known as Moth
er Shipton's Prophesy,' was first published
in 14SS, aud republished in 164l. 1t will
be noticed that all the events predicted in
il, except that mentioned in the last two
lines-which is still in the future-have al
ready come to pass:
Carriages without horses shall go,
And accidents fill the world with woe.
Around the world thoughts shall fly
In the twinkling of an eye.
Waters shall yet more wonders do;
Now strange, yet shall be true.
The world upside down shall be,
And gold be found at root of tree.
Through hills men shall ride,
And no horse or ass at his side.
Under water men shall walk;
Shall ride, shall sleep, shall talk.
In air men shall be seen,
In white, in black, in green.
Iron in the water shall float,
AS easy as a wooden boat.
Gold shall be found and found
In n land that's not now known.
Fire and water shall wonders do,
England shall at last admit Jew.
The world to an end shall come
In eighteen hundred aud eighty-one.

CARE OF CALvES.-A celebrated Irish
farmer gives this advice TO one young in
the business "As breeder YOU must be
careful not to lose the calf flesh. lfyou do
so by starving the animal at any time of
his growth You loose the cream--the cover
ing of flesh So much priced by all our retail
butchers. Where do al! the scraggy, bad
heshed beast come from that we daily see
in our fa. markets, and what is the cause
of their scragGiness 1t is because they
have stinted and starved at some period of
their growth. If the calf flesh is once lost
it can never be regained. A great deal OF
tallow may be got internally by high feed
ing, but the animal can never again be
made one that win be priced by the great
retail butcher"

Here is wisdom for you, in what the New

apprehsrds small cotton crop this season,
from the fact that politics will excite and dis
tract the colored laborcrs in the approach
ing autumn, to the neglect of the whitening
harvest, and advises that there are one mil
lion white men in the South too poor to live
without labor, and yet rich enough to pro-
cura a few acres of cotton land and span of
mules, and that each of these million men
canlmake ten bales of cotton of five hundred
pounds each -Ahcm! Prodigious y! This
would be ten millions of bales made by the
white men of the South--oniy about two
and half times as much as ever was made
in one year by all the South: black and white
This would give 81 900 each to these labor

not tell your people "go to the West" tell
them ego South" We will gladly welcome
them. We won't promise them they can
