BEAUTIFUL LEAVES.

Thou desolate, winter reft, sorrowful earth!
Rejoice for Spring comteh, sweet source of thy
birth;
Her breath the lost charms of thy youth will
restore,
Lo the days of thy mourning and sackcloth are
Arise cast the ashes and dust from your head !
Wear crown of rejoicing and triumph instead!
For she brings bright promise which never ,.e-
ceives
To weave you sgarment of beautiful leaves.
DER hillssp and valley, DER mountain and void,
All lovely and tender, see them unfolds
To her sunshne and breezes the mission belongs,
To warm, and expand them, and fill them with
songs.
Thus, all the glad season, till Summer is done,
They glow, and eXult, and rejoice in the sun.
The breeze sings around them whilst deity it
Yeayes
On thy mantle of grecnness, the beautiful leaves.
What meaneth, gay Autumn, this fairy-like
sheen
This wealth of bright jewels; this marvellous
scene?
Every tree stands king-in his rubics and gold,
Outrivaling far all the fables ofold
All it whispers me sadly, alas for their doom!
IT'S the mark of the Spoiler his seal for the tomb
Now-the cold wind is sobbing, all lonely it
grieyes
lis thy sorrowful requiem, beautiful leaves!
o wall not so loudly nor moan in thy pain
For Spring will restore thy loved nurslings
again,
Mourn rather for those whose lost youth never
more,
Nor can art nor can springtime in gladness
restore,
Nay-grievc not for such since happier cline,
Awaits the freed spirit, unshackelcd by time;
And there, in that new Earth, the fond heart
believes,
Waits crown, bright, immortal, of beautiful
leaves. A.

THE VALUE OF SUNFLowERs.-We
would call the attention of farmers at this
time to the value of sunlowers as a crop,
and enumerate some of their values and
uses. In the first place, the flowers abound
in honey, and furnish food for bees. The
seeds contain oleaginous matter, and yield
oil at the rate of one gallon to the bushel,
which is but little inferior to olive oil.
One acre will produce fifty bushels of seed.
1t is also valuable food for horses and poul-
try. 1t has been used for bread by the
American Indians and also in Portugal.
The leaves are excellent fodder for cattle.
The stalk while growing may be utilized
as bean poles where they are scarce and
difficult to be obtained, and dry may be
used as roofing, or set up against fence to
form wind break. They contain large
amount of potash, and ale excellent for
kindling. The seed has also been recon-
mended for fuel. The reputation of the
growing suntlower to absorb miasmatic va
pors and preventing fever and ague, is well
known.

d" Speed the PIOsc.o
Balky Horses.

A writer in the Country Gentleman saws
that this vice in horse cannot be over
come by whipping or swearing at him.
HIS brain seems capable of entertaining
but one thought at a time, and the stub
born resolve not to move seems to be up-
permost in it. Therefore you must en-
deavor to give him new subject ofthought
and thereby change the direction of his
brain.
The simple trick of putting ar-smal
quantity of earth or gravel, taken from the
roadside, upon his tongue, will suffice to
turn his attention to the new kind of fod-
der offered to him. Now cluck, but don't
strike him, and almost before he is aware
OF it he is walking along, and soon trots
as fast as is needful. This is remedy
much in use on the western plains, where
teaming is employed to perform q vast
amount of labor, and bulky horses are
quite common trouble. 1t has worked
to perfection on the plains of Colorado.
When whipping and profanity were utterly
Intellectual, very small quantity of earth
and inc gravel made its mark directly.
Kindness will always produce q great ef.
iect upon horses, and every driver should
learn that pleasant words and tones are of
much greater use in making his horse ODE
dient than the whip-lash, mingled with,
harsh oaths and ear-splitting tones.

WHAT IS THOROUGHBRED What we
call the thoroughbred horse was created
in England by the importation of mares
and stations from Arabia and Barbary,
and by the iudicious commingling of the
foreign with the native blood. Through
contests on the turf and the right kind of
crossing, the horse was gradually improv-
ed, or elevated to high standard of excel
lence; and these improved horses were
then recognized as the progenitors of an
aristocratic race. Equine heraldry has
been made science and the birth and ped
igree of each horse of high breeding has
been preserved in the "Stud Book" Usage
has decreed that an animal which can show
an uncontamiated pedigreeof five genera
lions shall be classed q thoroughbred
that is, no drop of cold or coarse blood
must appear in the veins the origin of
which cannot be found behind five success
sive periods of reproduction. Five re-
moves from common parcntage, refine the
blood and make it aristocratc.

LARGE YIELD OF ONIoNs.-Mr. Hanson
Ordway, of West Newbury, Mass, raised
one hundred and lightweight barrels Of
onions last season on seven. eghths of an
acre, which he sold in buryport fer
$1,000.
The above statement gives the reader an
inkling of what may be done in raising a
bulb that grows with wonderful luxuriance
when all the conditions are right. Among
good fertilizers for onions, mixture of
two bushels of wood ashes, peck Of salt
and the same quantity # nd-plaster for
II good sized onion bed we have found one
Of the best. Hog manure is excellent.
Poor ground will not answer.

Cur HAY FOR Mich Cows.-Cut hay or
straw is more valuable than whole, and il
steamed is still more nutritious. Wetting
down is a substitute for steaming, and may
be resorted to when one has not got steam
box and boiler. Sow some fodder corn for
your cows, and feed the hay and bran mere
ly wet down in Summer, but in Winter by
all means steam it. The best length to cut
your hay is a half inch; little more or
less will rot much matter. 1t is claimed
by those who have experimental with cut
food that there is saving of not less than
twenty-five per cent.

INCOME FROM Cows.-The Mirror and
Farmer" says: WARD Parker, ESQ.,, sends
us statement of the profits realized in
1872, from five Devons-tour cows and one
three-year old htiier He commenced March
list, 1872, with one COW, to make butter;
the next COW came in March 4 ; the other
two came in the first week in April; the
heiter came in the first of May. The but
ter sold from the five amounted to 1896
premiums at fairs on the five cows, $94
three calves sold for $40; two calves on
hand, reckoned at the same as was offered
last October $3.50; to all amount, $3.50.
The same COWS also furnished all the milk,
cream and butter used in the family dur
ing the year. Thisis the income of the five
up to the time they went dry. The same
COWS all calved last Spring, after going
three months The calves were fed with
skim milk of the cows. The butter milk
and cream used in the family, he estimates
would more than three times balance the
hay and other feed used for the five
calves

A New MULCH FOR THE STRAWBERRY
BED.-D. w. Herstinc, of Philadelphia,
the originator of the Iierstne Raspberry,
and also an earnest and successful straw
berry grower, informs us of his success in
seeding down oats as II mulch for his
Strawberries. 1t seems TO answer exactly,
ana is perhaps less trouble and expense
than any other at command. He sowed
the oats broadcast all over his strawberry
patch, about the 18th of September, Their
growth is of course, small at first, and
docs not interfere with the strawberries.
When it has made a larger growth it is, of
course, checked by severe troste and after
wards killed by the Winter, when it falls
down over the plants, making complete
and sufficient covering till Spring, when
the young plants readily push through it,
He states the idea was not original with
him, and it Is new to us, but looks plaus-
BILE and is worthy of trial.
