WHAT CAUSES HORSES TO SLABBER.-At the
late meeting of the experimental Farm Club
this question was discussed, but none could
say what il was that made second.crop hay
produce this slabbering of horses. A veteri-
nary surgeon who was present could not en-
tighten the club in the least. Some thought
il one thing and some another, but there was
70 one cause specifically singled out. Still
there must be specific cause. For il is we'll
known TO all observers that not only second
crop clover hay win produce the slabbers but
the grass and any fall grass that we have ever
tried. Some veterinary surgeons attribute it
TO a fall weed; but we think it is in the grass
itself, the second crop of which contains a Pc
enliar bitterness, for want perhaps of suecu-
lence and from its advanced state of maturity.
1t may possibly be a late weed, but if so ii has
not yet been discovered. As to the remedy,
the best Is to sto? feeding the second-crop hay
OF grass. In two very severe cases on our. own
premises last fall, it passed of in few days by
removing the cause of it, In the case we
speak Of, however, twas a flow Of water only
from the mouth. Gallons mus. have come from
each animal preventing them for some time
taking their food GerHsaRt0irH Telegraph.

DRvING FENCE PosTs.-On one occasion the
writer desired to erect board fence around n
field which was free from stones and he pro-
ceeded on the following plan The line of the
fence was laid out perfectly straight, and small
stakes were driven into the ground sixteen feet
apart. sharp wedge-shaped pointed crow
bar was procured, with which holes were
punched in the ground where each stake was
placed. BY working the bar back and forth
in the ground, the hole was made large enough
to fit the post closely, and two feet and a-half
deep. The post was pointed very evenly on
each side SO that it would drive straight The
top was beveed so that it would not split in
driving. A triangular stool, with three legs
three feet long, and heavy beetle completed
the outfit. The beetle was made out of piece
of soft maple, fifteen inches long, cut from a
small tree about foot in diameter. The bark
was trimmed off, and the edges were bevcled
off about three inches handle Of ash two
inches thick was put through the beetle, and
was trimmed down so as to be an inch and a
half thick one way and two inches in another.
This prevents it from turning in the hands
when striking with it. When the posts were
all ready, a man held one OF them with the
point in the hole, while another mounted the
stool and drove it down with tho beetle
With little care, the man who held the post
kept it upright and in line with the rest. As
the posts were driven, two men followed, nail
ing on the boards. These four men completed
n five board fence around n square tcn-acre
field in one day and a-half, making the labor
equal to six days work. Had the holes all
been dug, the job would have taken at least
four times as long. The cost Of the labor was
less than ten cents a rod the men were good
mechanics or it would have cost much more
their labor at two dollars and a-half day
being pfobably twice as cheap as common la
Dor at half that rate. In addition so the SUI
perior rapidity and cheapness of the work, the
fence was much frmer than it could possibly
have been, had the holes been dug for the posts

SAVING OF THE HAY CRoP.-All good far
mers do, or ought to know, the great value Of
salt in the saving of the hay crop. When the
grass is in full flower, it should be cut, for
then it contains the greatest amount of nutri-
tious matters dffased throughout the whole
plant. II has been fully proved that during
tho ripening of the seed, the saccharine juices
disappear, to a very great extent. 4 halt bush
ell to the ton OF common SALT spread by hand,
will not only render the hay more palatable
for stock, but will also prevent mouldness-
if the hay is sown, or of a poor quality, the
quantity could be increased to advantage
The following is the statement of u farmer
who for thirty years has been using salt in the
curing of his hay. He says
81 use about quarter of peck at each lay
ing, thinly spread, which I find is about four
bushels 10 afstack of twenty loads. | am fully
satisfied that double the quantity would be
much better, In a particularly wet season a
few years since, | used twelve bushels 10 a
stack of forty loads, the whole of which was
consumed by my own horses, and never had
them in better condition. l am so fully con-
ynced of the benefit of salt to hay that while
it is allowedsduty free l shall use it in all
seasons.'
Mr.. Green, of Wargrave, in Berkshire, Eng
land, had parcel of sour, tushy hay, from a
meadow on the banks of the Thames, which
both he and his men despaired Of rendering OF
the least value it was therefore stacked by it
self, and well sailed the quantity supplied
was large, but we do not know the exact pro-
portion. When the period arrived that his
sheep wanted a supply hay, Mr.. Green d.
rected his shepherd to use the salted inferior
hay first and to his surprise the sheep consul
med it with the greatest avidity. The stack
being finished the shepherd was directed to
supply them with the best hay he could find
of other stacks of fine meadow hay He came,
however, the next morning TO his master, and
made the following remark; eve sir, must
have made great mistake and forgotten which
stack was salted, for our sheep will not eat the
hay which we think the best"

Every year increases the populari-
ty of this valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone. We
can assure our old patrons that it is
kept fully up to its high standard;
and it is the only reliable and perfect
ed preparation for restoring GRAY
OR FADED HAIR to its youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. 1t removes all eruptions
and dandruf, and, by its tonic prop
critics, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. BY its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal yigor, and
will create a new growth, except i'll
extreme old age. 1t is the most eco
nomical HAZE DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, MID,
State Assayer Of Massachusetts,, says,
"The constituents are pure, and care
fully selected for excellent quality;
and | consider it the BEST PREPA-
RATION for its intended purposes"

the same time that they are charged with
the duties of the civil office held under

tinued holding of any such State, Terri
torial or municipal office, whether elective
or by appointment, by any person holding
a civil office as aforesaid under the Gov
ernment of the United States, other than
,e
the United States, will be deemed a va
cation of the Federal office held by such
person, and will be taken to be and will
be treated as q resignation by such FEEDER
al officer of his commission or appoint
ment in the service of the United States.
The offices of Justices of the Peace, of No
taries Public and of.Commissioners to take
