Of earbohYdrateg, and II of fat or ss

Of carbohydrates, and II of fat or 80
pounds of nutritious matter.
In oat straw, one hundred pounds,
there are d pounds of aIbuminoids, 80
of carbohydrates, and 2 of fat or 46
pounds of nutritious matter. In the
order of their nutritive value they stand
timothy 63, clover 40, oat straw As,
and wheat straw 80. By multiplying
the totals by 20 the amount per ton
may be found. Every farmer knows
that if grass is allowed to stand after
certain stage of growth, it becomes
more aAd more woody, and hence less
and less nutritious, and the same pro-
cess is in operation in straw. Glover
cut when in full blossom yielded IA
pounds of albuminoids, 80 of carbohy
drates, 36 of crude fibre, and over 3 of
fat per one hundred pounds but when
cut ripe the nutritious matter had seri-
ously diminished; the albuminoids
falling to 10, the carbohydrates to 20,
and the innutritious, indigestible fire
had increased from Sc to 48 pounds,
and the fat decreased to 2 pounds per
hundred hence a ton of clover hay cut
in full blossom would contain 80 pounds
more of albuminoids, and 200 pounds
more of carbohydrates, (the fat would
be 20 pounds more,) per ton than when
cut ripe. A ton of clover hay cut ripe
would contain 24O pounds more of crude
fibre than when in full blossom.
We have eudeavored to show the
necessity of early cutting by the teach
ings of chemistry, and know also, by
our own pratice, that grain can be cut
much earlier than is usually supposed
or generally practiced we have cut rye
that was quite green in the straw, and
wheat that old farmers agreed would
seriously shrivel, but no perceptible
loss occurred but in this very early
cutting, one danger to both grain and
straw must not be underestimate il
cut early, aud schocked as usual, care
must be taken to cure the straw to pre-
vent heating and molding in the shock,
and also to avert the spelling and decay
which might ensue should rainy weather
follow the harvest.
The above table and remarks would
be incomplete without an approxima
ton to the relative currency value o.
the four articles based on analysis.
Placing clover hay at $15 per ton
timothy is worth $40, wheat straw 81
and oats straw $13 per ton; figures
which sufficiently indicate the value Of
straw to induce us to make the best use
of it.-d0ryLGad FElrn1er.

IDEAS OF BEAUTY are among the no
blest which can be presented to the hui
man mind, invariably exalting and
purifying it according to their degrees !;
and 1t would appear that we are in
tended by the Deity to be constantly
under their influence, because there is
not one single object in nature which is
not capable of conveying them, and
which, to the rightly perceiving mind,
does not present an intellectually greater
number of beautiful than of deformed
parts there being, in fact, scarcely
anything, in pure, undiseasod nature,
like positive deformity, but only de-
grees of beauty, or such slight and rare
points of permitted contrast as may
render all around them more valuable
by their opposition spots of blackness
in creation, to make its colOrs felt

FEVER AND AGUE.-As this is the
season for fever and ague, and as there
is great deal of that really dangerous
disease now prevailing, we cannot too
highly recommend the use of Perry
Davis Pain Killer, as a better remedy
cannot be found. The testimonials in
its favor are too numerous to admit of
any doubt as to its curative effects, COM
ing as they do from so many persons
who have used it, aud also from several
physicians who have had the honesty to
prescribe the Pain Killer, knowing the
good results that would follow its use
We would, therefore, recommend to all,
Perry Davis Pain Killer, as being a
safe and sure remedy by using it in
ternalIy and externally freely, it will
soon drive all appearances of the disease
from the system. For sale by all medi-

A Moravian Cemetery.

a AOI6V1du O5M0B5Eys
A letter from Salem, N. c., to the
Richmond Enquirer gives the fol-
lowing
In the Moravian cemetery, in Salem,
they separate and classify their dead
male infant from from female; the old
from the young; the married from the
unmarried. They won't bury the hus-
band by his wife. The dead are all
placed on an equality. The tomb
stones are all alike, being small blocks
of marble a foot square, that they
place at the head of the grave. No
different tombstone is allowed. Mel
ther can you find a single epitaph. Some
of the graves are over one hundred
years old. One, a negroes, reads A:
Abraham Niger, Guinea, died April
II, ITO" On easter mornings, soon
after midnight, the Moravians get up
and march to this cemetery with band
or music in front, and the procession
tapered off from the youngest to the
| Oldest person, who brings up the rear.
They remain IN the cemetery playing
music and conducting services until
morning. 1t is said they go there to
see the dead rise. When a Moravian
dies in Salem, instead of toIling the
bells, they announce the death with q
band of music in the church belfry.
They have three different tunes one
for the old, one for the young and one
for the married. An old inhabitant's
death is blown out soft and solemn
with heightened notes.

JUST TAKEN HIS BTTTBRs. We heard
n seedy-looking individual with an
alarmingly red nose remark to a brother
soaker that he had Just had his bit
tiers. but he did not mind taking another
nip" His remark suggested a train of
reelection. How was it, we asked our
selves, that the word "bitters" had
grown to be a synonym for gin, whisky,
rum. and other alcoholic stimulants, to
which it was applied Unfortunately.
Bitters, we reasoned, suggested the
idea of healthful tonic, not of a poi
sonous stimulant something invigora-
ting to the system, not an alcoholic II
ritant. full of fusil oil, producing pre-
sent intoxication and ultimate insanity,
idiocv. or premature death. Moreover,
our idea Of bitters was totally irrecon-
ciIable with gin cocktails, rum
punches, " aud brandy smashes,
which. we are informed, are sweetened
with sugar, and rendered dOubly IN
furious with essences coIOred by means
of mineral poison. This was bitter
sweet with a vengeance. We mentioned
this problem to a friend He solved 1t
by exclaiming: " Why, don't you

The Battle Of the lSuiIfrOxs.

Many of the citizens Of Vermont will
remember to have seen on one-dollar
bills OF the Windham County State
Bank vignctte representing bullfrogs
fighting. The facts were a. follows:
Many years ago, when the town of
Windham was newly settled, there
came very dry season. There were
two large ponds in Windham, separated
by an intervening STRIP Of land of
considerable extent. Each of these
ponds was inhabited by O large com.
munity of the reptiles above named.
The smaller pond dried up, aud it's
inhabitants started in body for the
lower and larger pond. They we're met
in the intervening space by the COM
munity from the larger pond, and a
fierce and long-continued battle
ensued between the rival COM
lnunities. Such was the hideous
believing of tie frogs during their
fierce encounter that it alarmed the in
habitants, who at first supposed it to
be the whoop of tho hos tile savages.
But curiosity getting the better of their
fears, they cautiously proceeded to the
spot whence the hideous sound issued,
and there beheld the strange spectacle
of two immense armies of bnllfrogs,
covering many acres of ground, en-.
gagged in fierce and deadly battle.
This battle continued more than twenty
four hours, and when it was over the
ground was literally covered with the
slain, and it became necessary, to avoid
the noxious efluvia, to gather and bury
them. I have related this as it was
given to me five years ago by gentle
man who then resided at Highgate
Springs, and whose name can be pub
lished, if desired. It is no wonder that
the officers of the old Windham County
Bank should have deemed such an oc
casion worthy of commemoration.-

The Fox in Ireland.

In ancient times in Ireland the fox
was regarded with superstitious dread,
andr although Master Reynard was
hated, great respect was paid to him
for fear of his working harm. The old
belief still fingers in the Celtic dis
tricts, and the good housewives, as in
the olden days, lay wool on the bushes
as peace offering 70 the fox, or make
mittens out OF lambs wool for his feet,
leaving them at the entrance of his
den. They believe that the fox wears
mittens on cold nights when he goes
on foraging tramp, and in gratitude
will not carry off the chicks of the
donor. In West Mayo and Donegal
the fox is always called the tired fell
low," the gentleman" or some othe,
polite name; for it is thought that he
would spitefully kill every fowl belong
ing to person bold enough to uttel
his name without due respect.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
The ApDllcatAon of Ma n urcs.

Tho Application of Mnnurcs.
As q general rule, manure docs best
on heavy soils, applied as a broadcast
top.dressiDg; on light soils it Is better
to pillow it in with shallow burrows.
There have not been a sufficient mum.
Der of accurately conducted expert.
ments with top-lressing in summer to
determine satisfactorily what amount
of manure woull be thus wasted by
exposure. We suspect, however, that
this great loss is commonly over esti
mated. Manure spread on grass land
early in autumn, or even i'll August, has
not only proved of great value to the
grass. but has had marked effect on
the following corn crop, planted on
spring plowed sod. We should prefer
spreading to leaving in heaps, although
the latter is more common. When
spread, every shower of rain washes
the soluble and enriching parts into the
soil, but if in heaps, it would be mole
likely to lose by fermenting, and rains
would be no benefit to it. Without
knowing anything of the nature or con-
dition of the soil, we should be inclined
to recommend as the safest course, to
pillow in tho manure as shallow as prac-
ticable after being thoroughly spread
and broken by surface harrow, leav-
ing, exposed, by way OF experiment.
