Water Is the great mechanical power
IN nature. 1t is the great leveller: it
moves mountains and fills valleys. All
our stratihed rocks, sandstones, states.
and fimestones were formed by the
action of water. To the solvent power
OF water and its chemical action we
owe our useful minerals, our metallic
deposits, our iron, copper, zinc, gold,
and silver ores, and even coal. To its
physical properties-we owe all the
phenomena of clouds, dew, fog, snow,
and frost. 1t supports the plants,
brings them their mineral food from
the sell, and protects them from exces-
siye heat. Auimals are equally de-
pendent upon it. Yet after all. it is
only the agent Of the sun; il is sun
power that makes flowers grow ii is
sun power that makes everything move
IN the world, and water is merely the
suns agent. The loss of water would
produce the same condition of things
on earth thas We notice now In the
moon. Although we have such a vast
quantity OF water, yet IL is only | $40,
000th part Of the earth or 00042 per
cent. The crystalline rocks ut the
earth's surface now contain a larger
quantity of water than this, and the
moment our earth coOls enough to alb
sorb four-thousaHdths of one per cent.
of moisture, the ocean viii disappear.
If we should lose our atmosphere also;
the openings or pores IL the rocks will
receive 1t by gravitation. Boston

Inefficient Farmers.

An ONO farmer, writing under this
caption, makes some very good points,
He says: 1t is an undeuiable fact that
there Is ae great variety among tillers
of the soil as among men of other avo-
cations, including the professional.
The name farmer does not ALWAYS I'M
ply efficiency. There are a great many
owning farms and living on them who
are only pretended farmers. If a good
crop Is obtained, no matter of what it
consists, 1t IS no credlt Of theirs. They
are always cutting their wood from day
to day through the Summer and Win
ter, and when the time comes to put in
Spring crops there Is nothing ready.
Their stock IS ready to 90 to the fields,
but their fences are all down, and there
IS no time now to put them up, for their
oats must be sOwn. So their stock Is
kept IN confinement IN muddy yards,
uneasy and longing to range through
fields. Their hogs are fed Ia the mud,
when a few plank put Gown would add
much TO their comfort. OftentImes
you will see stock OF every description,
none Of which IS fit for any market
(save the pelt marketl. They seem to
think If life is sustained, growth Will
take care of itself. Their calves get
lousy, and the sheep have tick, and in
their shiitlessness they allow these OBJ
stacles TO remain.
Now, thoroughly live farmer can't
live III this way, and If Obliged to put
up with such a state of things, sleep
would depart from his eyes, and slum-
ber from his eyelids. II [ can't keep
my stock well, | won't keep any" SAYS
he, for poor stock and those poorly
kept are worse than none His wood
for the Summer is prepared inthe Win
ter and early Spring, so that as early as
possible in the Spring his fences are
all put in order before the crops want
attention. When the time comes and
the ground is ready to work, the crops
are ready to put in, both oats and corn.
The corn will be hoed and out OF the
way tor clover haylng, which comes in
June, before wheat harvest. He Is now
ready for wheat aud oats, then for gen
eral haying, which consists of timothy
and other grasses that mature later
Thus out of the way, and the second
crop of clover Is ready TO cut, from
which all the common red clover seed is
obtained.
Right here let NE suggest that this
crop need not lay until nearly rotton
TO obtain the seed, thereby losing much
good feed, but may be stacked or haul
Ell to the barn Just as soon rs thorough
~ cured or dry. In this way mach Is

Pre 5erviHg Green Fodder.

A method OF preserving green fodder,
such as turnlp-tops, beet-tops. or other
succulent vegetables, has been in use
Tor many years III Europe, by which
this green fodder is kept IN good con
dItlon for six or twelve months A
trench two to four feet deep Is dug in a
dry spot in the field, and the tops Of
the roots, carefully gathered when free
from rain or dew, are thrown into it.
They are very compactly pressed down
and when the pit is filled, some straw
Is laid upon the fodder and the earth
Is heaped over the whole. In this
manner this product, which is general
~ wasted IN great measure, Is utiliz
ed On one occasion the writer saw
one of these pits opened IN the spring
which had been filled and covered up
the fall previous. The fodder, which
was leaves of sugar beets, was as fresh
to all appearance as when gathered,
and the cows to which it was fed ate it
with avidity. Salt IS generally
sprlnkled upon tie fodder and aids in
It's preservation.
1t would be worth while when our
root crops are being gathered to pre-.
serve the tops III this way as an expert
ment- It is not probable that there
will be any difficulty on account of our
colder climate in thus preserving for
future use very considerable amount
of winter fodder. The principal re-
quisltes are to pack away the leaves
when dry, to compress them as closely
as possible, and to cover them so com
pletely with earth that all access Of air
is prevented. 1t is by exclusion OF air
that they are kept from decay. Amer

s.lst Inttsn Cattle.

Several varieties of these have been
imported, and attempts made to natur-
allze them, but with varied success.
and among them the Nagord cattle.
They are used in India by the higher
orders, to draw their state carriages,
and are much valued for their size,
speed, and endurance, and sell at very
high prices.
They will travel, with rider on their
back, fifteen or sixteen hours IN the
day, at the rate of six miles an hour.
Their action is particularly fine moth
ing like the English cattle, with the
sideway, circular action of their hind
legs. The Nagore cattle bring their
hind legs under them IN as straight a
line as the horse. They are very active,
