A correspondent says he has not found
pea straw as valuable for fodder as good
oat and wheat straw. Very likely. And
yet good pea straw may be so cured and
fed rs to be worth far more than any
other straw, unless it is choice bean
straw. 1t is more heterogeneous than
wheat, oat, barley, or rye straw, and
should be fed, to get out its full value,
In connection with small quantity of
corn. Sheep that have pound of corn
each per day, will fatten more rapidly
on pea straw than on wheat or oat straw.
The better plan is to let them have all
they will eat of both pea and wheat
straw-say pea straw morning and noon,
and wheat or oat straw at night. But
We apprehend the trouble with our cor
respondent is net so much in the way of
feeding. as III the method of cutting,
curing, and preserving pea straw. If
the peas were allowed to grow until
dead-ripe, and, after cutting, were al
lowed to remain in heaps in the field,
day arter day, without turning, and were
exposed to rains and dews until nearly
all the soluble matter was decomposed,
or washed out of the straw, and half the
leaves were knocked off them before
they left the field, and they were stacked
in damp condition, it is not difficult to
understand why ''sheep and the chemist
do not tell the same story" in regard to
the value of the straw. On our own
farm we have found pea straw from
luxur1ant crop of peas, cured without
rain, nearly as valuable as clover hay.
How to Remove Alildew from Linen.
First of all, take some soap (any COM
mon sort viii do) and rub it well into
the linen; then scrape some chalk, very
fine, and rub that in also; lay the linen
on the grass, and, as it dries, wet it
again twice or thrice doing will remove
the mildew stains. Another way is to
mix soft soap with powdered starch,
with half the quantity of starch and the
juice of lemon. Lay this mixture on
with brush, and let the linen lie out on
the grass for a few frosty nights and the
stains will disappear All linen will
turn yellow, if kept long unused, locked
up in linen press, excluded from air
and light /; so the best way of restoring
it to its color is to expose it to the open
air In nice, dry weather. Exposure to
the light, and continual airings, will be
found the best way of preserving its
Wilderness.

MONETARY.

sArunpAr EVENING Nov. IL.
Tho first substantial progress made toward re-
coyery from the financial criBiB has boon mnde
within the past week. Everybody Aeenaa now
inclined to tho belief TINT nothing that can hap
pen will again unBott1o confidence, diBorganizo
business, md depreBs prices. Thore has boen
revival Of tho movement Of hogs, grain, and
other products from tho country. Money is
coming out Of It's hiding -placea and confidence
in tho value of commodities III being restored.
Money is still held at high rates, but It is bo-
coming moro abundant, and rates Of interest
must soon decline.
This favorable change in tho whole financial
aspect is largely due to tho advance in tho price
OF gold, in other words the depreciation of
greeubacls.
The business Of the eight or nlno most prom
inent banka in this city is ateadily
getting into mora satisfactory shape.
Their deposits are increasing slowly,
which onab]os tho gradual increase Of
their discounts. Tho remainder Of tho banks.
however, do not progroHs much, except in tho
gradual collection OF thoir bills receivable.
In tho open market money is still held at an
average Of 1B per cont for thirty to six ty day
loans, either on nnnea or colaterals. tho ugh it
Ia becoming moro abundant at these rates.
Exchange on Now York is worry soaroe, and
thoro aro sales between banks. As rule,
each bank supplies itaolf BY remitting currency
to Now York.
As m Instance of tho condition OF ono im-
portant branch OF trade now, ss compared with
this timo last year, It is worthy OF noto that
there were 10000 more hogs received ut the
ing to-day than for tho corresponding four
weeks Of last year. Thia III an increase of about
40 per cent over thereceipts of last season. The
prices, however. this fall, average 90 to rs per

With never a speek of crimson,
For it was not made Tor snow.

Perhaps it would make me vain.

But our Heavenly Father knoweth
When one of us falls to the ground.
Though small, we are never forgotten;
Though weak, we are never afraid
For we know that our dear Lord keepetl
The life of the creatures he made.
fly through the thiellest forest;
! light on many q spray;
have no chart or compass,
But Ineyer lose my way.
And fold my wings at twilight,
Wherever / happen to be;
For the Father is always watching,
And no harm can come to me.
/ am only a little sparrow,
A bird of low degree,
But know the father loves me-
Have you less faith than me
