Mr.. Curtis, before the Farmers Club,
says; Hogs can be wintered on clover
hay cut green, if it be steamed to pulp,
without any meal or bran being added.
Cattle reducing this to pulp by masti-
cation, get a similar effect. We know
leading farmers who keep their dairyes
during the winter on clover hay alone,
or clover and cornstalks. This till the
cows are turned to grass, and they go
into pasture strong and in good flesh,
giving a large yield of milk at the same
time. This being a fact, as it is demon
strated yearly, why are we feeding
grain? Simply because we neglect or
Disregard early cutting, fearing we can
not cure our hay in this early or green
stage. II is more an excuse than any
thing else Others do it, cut early, and
cure fair to well Have the hay cap,
and there is no danger of spelling. Use
the tedder freely, which will eXpediate
the drying. BY cutting the first crop
Glover early, when just in BLOSSOM the
second crop may be cut, in good time,
leaving time enough for an after-grOwth
for protection.
Here are two crops and as clover can
be made to yield well with comparative
" little expense, we need not call atten-
ton to the benefit deprived in this way.
Plaster now, a bushel to the acre, and
observation-disclosures that you will make
the test, and make it. IF not on a large
scale at least on a small. Have the
caps ready; there is time for that
now. What we need is testing, and
testing fairly. If the best farmers are
rcaping an advantage here, why may
not all have it? Clover is the farmers
plant of profit. Those engaging earliest

Secure Your Seed Corn.

1t is something in the kind of corn to
be grown. That which has been accus-
toned to do well in locality is the corn
for that locality, and needs but superior
cultivation to make it a superior
crop. There is something in selecting
the best ears and this is generally done.
Stalks having two ears of good size are
commonly looked for, or at least this is
the practice to some extent. But it is
doubtful whether there is much in this,
as good cultivation, good land, and the
corn well apart, so as to admit sun and
air well, are the main things, and will
produce large ears and two to the stalk;
and this is the case where a small ear or
the end of the ear is planted so that it IS
the cultivation and the nature OF the
soil that are to be depended upon. This
is the experience. Some facts are evil
dent That a late corn, or corn from the
South, will not do for a northern climate
there is usually too great a growth, too
coarse, too much straw and too late
ripening from the North corn will be
sure to be early enough, the straw less
in amount and better calculated for
feed, so that it is safe to get them. Yet
still such corn may not be the advisable
corn to get. There may not be the
amount Of corn or forage wanted, that
is it may be too small A medium sized
stalk, with large ears, small cob and early
maturity, is what is wanted in our lati-
tude. say about 440. Test it and see
whether it will do for the locality, Or
take a similar corn that has done well,
and then rely upon cultivation and soil
for success. 1t is this that gives success
to corn without it the best sorts are OF
little avail. AS there is something in
selecting good seed corn, the farmer
should see to it and secure the earliest
and handsOmest ears, such as he wishes
to raise. 1t is preferable to cut up the
corn when well glazed and put in stocks
to cure, not to dry, or but slowly; it
wants to mature or ripen slowly, and on
the stalks, the stalk green while this
operation is performing. After that it
may dry more rapidly but it needs the
first few weeks to mature (nOt dry it.
Such corn, including the grains, however
contradictory it may appear, will make
better seed corn than if left to ripen on
the stalk. But never hang your corn
(for seed) over the corn in the crib. The
stream of moisture which asGends, though
invisible, will hurt it-often will spoil it
entirely. Hang in the loft of some
buildings where the outdoor air has free
access.

with the current of remark on the politi-
cal campaign by acknowledging that the
Democratic Liberal canvass has seemed
to move rather heavily for the last two
or three weeks" 1t could hardly do
otherwise than make such an acknow-
edgement if it said anything upon the
subject watever, and the fact is patent
to everybody that some sort of recogni-
ton of it is almost inevitable. Before
Greeley was ratified at Baltimore Dan
VOORHEES, made a speech at Terra Haute,
Ind, in which he made this prediction,
which it is well to keep in mind:
II think I understand the heart of the
laboring people, who compose the great
majority of the Democratic party, and |
hazard nothing in saying that, even if
Mr. Greeley should be nominated at Bal
timOre, and every Democrat of distinc-
ton, whether in public or private life,
from one ocean to the other, should
support him, he would not receive an
average of more than fifty per cent. of
the Democratic votes of the United
States. This l as firmly believe as | do
that the sun will rise tomorrow. And
if the madness and folly of the hour
should cOnsummate his nomination, am
willing my Judgment may be tested
hereafter by the record | make here to-
night"
When it was thought at Newbern, N.
c., that the Greeleyites had carried the
State, the sentiments of his supporters
quickly manifested themselves. A re-
cent letter received in Boston from
lady, long a resident of Newbern, re-
veals something of it when she says:
IF you could have heard the insults
we have been subjected to during the
last two weeks, you would not be sur
prised at our condition. The last few
days has developed the old rebel feeling,
and prominent people are severe in their
denunciatiOn of Republicans, and especi-
ally NOrtherners, because they think we
control the colored people. During the
last two days the excitement has been
intense. The women in this neighbOr-
hood have hurled at my daughter and
myself every epithet which they could
think of, whenever they thought they
could make us hear, calling US negro
lovers and she RAIDS, etc. But what as
tonishes Mr.. - the most is to see that
he is so mistaken about the bitter feel
ing Of the old rebs dying out. The last
few days has changed his opinion so
much that he talks of leaving should
they gain, thinking it would be impOssi-
bic to stay in peace, Prominent men use
threatening language. Yesterday Mer-
rimon telegraphed that their majority
would reach 5000, and they We're GER
tainly elected, and such an excitement
never was seen here before Now their
time had come, and they would crush
every Yankee and Republican until they
would be glad to go away"

Farm labor erS.

The following from the american
Agrtcuturist will be fully appreciated
by many in this section. The sugges-
ton made is a good one, and if faithfully
carried out would doubtless do much to
remedy the evil described:
"Many farmers have had much to try
their temper and test their patience dur
the past month Hoeing, haying, and har-
vest have been crowded together. Men
have been scarce and have had things all
their own way. And we know of moth
ing more disagreeable than to be obliged
to submit to the dictation of a lot of ig-
norant, selfish, conceited men, who are
blind to their own permanent interests,
and utterly regardless of the interests
of others. 1t is useless to reason with
them. All that we can do is, the mo-
ment.we are through the haying season,
to discharge those who have behaved the
worst. We do not complain so much of
high wages as of the short hours and
of the general listlessness, Indifference,
unskillfulness, and Incidence of a large
class of farm men. We have all been
complaining of this evil for some years.
We have thought that it would cure it.
self But instead of getting better, it is
getting worse and worse. 1t is time
that the subject was carefully consider
ed and concerted action rcsOrted to. We
must be lust and liberal with our men,
but should insist on a faithful perform
ance of contracts. No farmer should
hire q man who has broken an engage
ment with a brother farmer During
the latter part Of this month and the
next there will be comparatively little
to do on many farms, and dairymen can
be obtained at lower rates. If a man
has been faithful, give him steady work
and fair wages. But you owe it to
yourself and to the good men, TO dis
miss every man who has not acted pro-
perly. This policy, generally carried
out. would have salutary effect"

Frees KILLED by lightning.

All who have examined q tree which
has been destroyed by a "thunderbOlt,
Will have noticed not only how the lay
crs Of the wood have been shattered and
separated into strips, as il full Of wind
shakes, " but also the dryness, hardness,
and brittleness Of the wood, as though it
had been through the process of curing
in a kiln. This is attributed to the in
Simultaneous reduction Of the sap-the
moisture within the wood-into steam.
When this moisture is abundant, as in
May or early June, the amount and
force of the steam not only bursts and
separates the layers and fibres, but rends
the trunk in pieces or throws off por-
ton of it, down a line of greatest power
or of least resistance. And when the
amount of steam thus suddenly general
ed is less, owing to the drier condition
of the stem from continual evaporation
and leaf exhalation, there may benO eX-
ternal trace of the lightning stroke vet
the leaves viii wither in few days,
showing that the stem has been rendered
incapable of conveying supplies, and the
tree will either partially or entirely die.
Still lighter discharges may be conduct
ed down the moist stem, without any
lesion or hurt.

Agricultural Prospects i'm France.

France has two principal harvcStS-
those Of grain and wine; and never did
she depend upon the fertility Of her soil
more completely than in the present
year. Besides her cereals and her vine
yards. there are Of course, to be counted
the olives, the silk-crOp, the bcct-roOt
fields, and manyOthcr productive sources
Of profit which her varied cline affords;
but her very life depends upon corn and
wine. Sinking deeper and deeper under
debt. burthencd heavily with new taxes,
and but partially healed of the wounds
inflicted by the late war, France has
been watching, fa1mOrc anXiOusly than
England the changcful weather, and
Specializing upon the the prospects Of
her farmers. Even a deficient yield this
year would be very serious; but q bad
turnout might spoil all NJ. Theirs work,
and plunge the country back again into
confusion and civil strife. Happily,
these pcrils can be already spoken Of as
past the harvest in France is earlier
than with England; and in the southern
provinces the crops have long been gath
ered The fact is thus ascertained that
the cereal production is not only good,
but actually better than has been known
for ten years
The average out-turn of grain is
twenty-four millions Of hectOlitres, Ca
French hcctolitre is % gallons but this
season the total is calculated at thirty
five millions, representing a capital OF a
milliard and a half. While this gives a
marvellous measure of the fruitfulness
of the country. the help to Frenchmen
is magnificent. Usually a large impOr-
tation takes place into France, chiefly
from the Black Sea; and, although she
is not so great a buyer as England-tO
whom, indeed, she sends bread-stuffs--
the purchase annually drains her of gold
to the extent of four or five hundred
millions of francs. This year, the yield,
if truly reported, is ample for all her
wants, and she need not spend a s2u
abroad in buying wheat. 1t is supertlu-
Gus to point out what godsend this will
drove to the sorely-yisited land. In
deed, one feels as though Nature herself
had taken pity on France, and made her
timely present Of this superb harvest.
What remains to be hoped for now is,
that the vintage, which comes much
later, may be also good. Last year the
production was very limited, nor are the
prospects at this hour particularly brilli-
ant in many important regions. But
there is time for sun and wind and rain
to work their magic and albeit the vim
tage is not so important as the wheat
harvest, still a good season with the
grape would greatly aid the recovery Of
the country, and it is therefore to be
hoped that fortune viii come this year
''with both hands full. :"
