HAY UNCUT, CUT AND cHATFED.

How shall We feed our hay and straw
is question of importance to every far
mer who wishes to make tho best of his
resources. IN. L. H." gives. in re-
cent number of the Ohio Farmer, some
original news.upon this subject. He says:
''Lt is stated In some of the a.ricultu-
raj papers, that twenty five pounds OF I'M
cut. nineteen pounds cut in pieces an inch
long. or thirteen pounds chaffed, are
equal 10 value as food for stock. If this
statement is correct, farmers might make
= great saving by reducing it to q shaffed
or cut condition. OF course it is not ar
gued that its altered mechanical condition
makes it more nutritious, but simply re-
duces 1t to a state from which the ANNA
can make available larger portion Of
she nutriment It contains. Food reduced
to a high degree of fitness is more
thoroughly mixed with saliva In chewing,
and in undergoing digestion the castle
JUICE comes ia more immediate contact
with it. Under these conditions the food
is much better dIgested. and larger part
OF nutriment valne appropriated TO the
want of the system, than when il is taken
in all unreduced state.
Oats or corn fed whole often pass thro'
the stomach and bowels of the animals
half digested, and no doubt the same is
true Of hay When horses arc required
to labor, peck of upground OATS or corn.
or ten pounds of hay not very well mas.
ticated will not yield to their wants more
than two-thirds that amount finely ground.
The latter could be thoroughly digested
while the animsl is at work if the former
could not. The saying of time required
to eat it would also give than more rest.
Animals not required to labor, having
sufficient time to eat and digest their
food. would get more nourishment from
the same amount than those that are
worked.
j. ia not clesr, however, that the in
creased value is just that indicated Q. the
head Of this article. We nsed quito ac-
c.rass experiments to determine this. 1t
is only clear that reducing faod tic fine
condition by cutting, chatting, and grind:
ing greatly increases its value.

The Oldest City in the World.

Damascus is the oldest city in the
world. Tyre and Sidon have crumbled
on the shore. Baalbec is a ruin Pal
myra is buried in a desert Nineveh
and Babylon have disappeared from
the Tigris and the Euphrates. Damas-
Gus remains what it was before the days
of Abraham center of trade and
travel-an island of verdure in the des-
ert ; ga presidential capital" with mar
tial and sacred associations extending
through thirty centuries. 1t was near
Damascus that Saul of Tarsus saw the
light above the brightness of the sun !;
the street, which is called Strait, in
which it was said he prayed" still
runs through the city. The caravan
comes and goes as it did thousand
years ago there is still the sheik, the
ass, and the water-wheel the merchants
of the Euphrates and the Mediterra-
mean still OCCUPY" these with the
multitude of their wares" The CITY
which Mohammed surveyed from a
neighboring height, and was afraid to
enter, because it was given to man to
have but one paradise, and for his part.
he was resolved not to have it in this
world" is to-day what Julian called the
"eys of the East" as it was. in the
time of Isaiah, the head of Syria.
1t is still city of flowers the streams
of Lebanon and the "silk of gold" still
murmer and sparkle in the wilderness
of the Syrian gardens.

Animal and Vegetable Life Mt the
North Pole.

The following extract from the report
of the Polaris investigation will be found
interesting
On board the Polaris are specimens of
drift-wood picked up on or near the
shores of Newman's Bay and Polaris
Bay, among which Mr.. Myers thought he
recognized the walnut, the ash, and the
pine. Among numerous facts that APP
pear to be shown by the testimony
elected on the examination, we may
mention as one of much interest, that
the dip of the needle amounted to 40
deg, and its deviation SO deg, being
less than at Port Frulke and Rensselaer,
Harbor, as given by Dr. Kane and DIR.
Hayes. The rise and fall of tides was
carefully observed, the average being
about five and one-half feet. The
greatest depth of water noted was about
100 fathoms. The existence of con-
slant current southwark was noticed by
the expedition, its rapidity varying with
the season and locality. The winter
temperature was found to be much
milder than was expected, the minimum
being 80 degrees below zero in January,
although March proved to be the cold
est month. The prevailing winds were
northeast, although there were occa-
sional tempests from the southwest.
High winds were noticed, however, from
all points of the compass. Rain was
occasionally observed, only on land,
however, the precipitation presenting
itself over the ice in the form of snow.
During the summer, the extent of both
lands and elevations was bare of snow
and ice, excepting patches here and
there in the shade of the rocks. The
soil during this period was covered with
more or less dense vegetation of moss,
with which several arctic plants We're
interspersed, some of them of consider
able beauty, but entirely without scent,
many small willows scarcely reach
ing the dignity of shrubs. The
rocks noticed were of schistose or
slate nature, and in some instances con-
talked fossil plants, specimens of which
were collected. Distinct evidences of
former glaciers were seen in localities
now bare of ice, these indications con-
sisting III the occurrence of terminal and
lateral moraines. Animal life was found
to abound, musk oxen being shot at
intervals throughout the winter. Geese,
and duck and other water fowls, includ-
ing plovers and other wading birds,
abounded during the summer, although
species of land birds were comparative
ly few. No fish were seen, although
nets and lines were frequently called
into play in obtaining them. The wa
tiers, however, were found filled to an
extraordinary degree with marine
invertebrata, including jelly fish and
shrimps. Seals were very abundant
Numerous insects were observed also,
especially several species of butterflies.
Also flies, bees, and insects of like
character.

Novel and Unique Inventions.

Among the inventions patented within
the past few days, and notable either
for their curious character or peculiarly
useful purpose, we may mention half a
dozen. Commencing Mt the remote
West, we find a California man with q
new machine for dredging the channels
of rivers to permit the passage of ves-
sells having draft deeper than that of
the water. The propelling screws are
conical and placed Mt the prov of the
boat. Immediately below them, and in
the same vertical plane as the cut-water,
is third screw, the rapid rotation of
which cuts n submarine ditch in the
bottom of the waterway to allow the
passage of the keel.

THE POLARIS.
Cant. Halps sickness and Death-Tyson
Opinion OF BuddtngtOn.

Capt H. 1n.s s;snr SS .SS
Can't. Tyson, in his statement to the
Secretary of the Navy in regard to the
Polaris expedition, says:
During his sickness, Capt. Hall was
delirious. After getting somewhat bet
ter. he still seemed to think some one
was going to injure him, and was very
suspicious. He thought some one was
going to poison him. He accused Bud
dington and the doctor with trying TO
injnre him. When he partially recov,
cred. he was careful of what he ate and
drank. The night of his death, he re-
tired. and Mr.. Chester, who was with
him. said he was feeling better, and
would be around in few days. During
the night he grew worse and died. Tyson
obtained information from Buddlngton,
who came to his room and told him the
Captain was dying. Capt. Tyson went
To the cabin to look at him. He was in
sensible. and lay on his face in his
berth. Capt. Tyson could not see his
face. which appeared to be buried in
the pillow, and he was breathing heavi-
". and SO he died. He never said
word before his death. There had been
some little difficulty between Capt Bud
dington and Capt. Hall. 1t was before
he started ON his journey. Capt. Hall
was about suspending Buddington from
duty. The difficulty was his foul Ian
guage about the ship, and his taking
ANYTHING he could lay his hands on IN
the shape of provisions and liquors.
Capt. Buddington assumed command
in his own way. Spring came, and no.
BODY was allowed to go. He swore he
would be id if anybody should do
ANYTHING, but he allowed an attempt at
an expedition with boats. They started
for home on the 18th of August. The
ship was leaking. They were beset
with ice Just north of Cape Frazer. The
cause of that was, Buddington was in
toxicated and run his vessel off IN the
middle of the Sound. He was drunk,
not on rum, but with alcohol, which he
obtained from Dr. Bessels stores. The
doctor caught him at it, and they had
quite tussle together.
Tyson says Buddington was disor-
ganizer from the very commencement.
He associated himself with the crew,
and slandered his commander, and in
other ways spoke slightingly of him.
His ground of complaint was that Capt.
Hall was not a seaman.
Capt. Tyson says that in the consulta-
ton of the officers with Capt. Hall, on
the Goth of September, 1871, relative to
going further north, it was decided to
advance. Buddington opposed the plan,
saving, "He would be id if he would
move from there" He then walked off,
and Capt. Hall had some further con-
versation with Buddington. The ship
then went into winter quarters, al
though the channel was then open as
far as he could see.

Congressional Matter i'm Bloom.

Everybody in California knows, or
ought to know, or at least knows of,
Col. Andrew Jackson Gambill, familiar
" called by his numerous friends, "Jack
Gambill, " for short, in early times a
pioneer packer in Trinity and Siskiyou.
Aware of the fact that the Colonel had
in early life filed the responsible posi-
ton of stage-driver in Tennessee and
Alabama, the writer once asked him
if he had known Lord Admiral Rec
side.
Z" Know old Reside, Judge? Why,
never knew anybody else. He was
trump, you bet.
Having struck a favorable theme, he
continued:
81 druv stage for the Admiral out of
Montgomery the whole of the winter,
and it was mighty rough, tell you.
Thar had been power of rain, equal to
California, and the roads were awful
heavy. In fact, in some places it was
as much as four-hoss team could do to
pull an empty stage. Well, in addition
to the regular mail under lock and key
in the leather bags there was always
lot of canvas sacks filled with about
ton of documents and seeds, mostly the
latter, franked by members of Congress.
I'd start out about two o'clock in the
morning with all this deck load, making
things awful heavy. AS l would be
about startin' the Admiral would take
me one side and confdentially remark:
Jack, you've got big load of passen-
gers and a tremendous large mail you'd
better distribute the Congressional
matter as soon as you can. All right,

loss is considerable. The decline also followed
the corn in transit between Chicago and New
York, and, to some extent, the corna at all points
in the East. AS whole, there was probably
a fall of IL cents per bushel on not less than
10 600, 900 bushels Of corn, equal to the annihi-
lation of value in the hands of the holders OF
81. 100 900. The Tribune, in its financial article,
says: "The great feature in local trade ana
finance, to-day, was the panic and decline III

there was general crash in prices OF nearly
all kinds of products dealt in in this market.
