Everybody has been trying everybody

ity can probably render verdict that will

whether we are suited or not. And vet an
unsatisfed desire remains in the wearied
public. 1t would like to know the truth.
Bat we believe this desire cannot be graft
ted. In his earliest statement Mr.. Beecher
said, very sadly We thought at the time.
that he feared he could not prove his limo
eence. We have asked him to do that. as
we always ask minister or woman 10 do
It-accepting them from the rule that one is
to be deemed innocent until he is proved to
be guilty. 1t Is the Lard iron rule of M
irity above suspicion that, justly Or uniustly,
Is applied to female and ministerial virtue
We do not recall case in which person
IN either has proved this negative, or
case in which minister Indignantly ae-
cused did not lose reputation and die under
a cloud. Ministers usually recognize the
hopelessness Of struggle, and retire from
the ranks when they are accused. Mr..

SAILING HAY.-Faimers are divided ia
opinion as to the uti.iiy Of sailing hay.
One thing is certain, that it has never
proved sufficiently advantageous to become
adopted by good farmers to any extent. We
do not think it would preserve green hay or
effect the weight, unle,- applied in doses 50
large as to iujure animals Four quarts To
the ton are as much as we would advise for
any experiment. Some farmers inform Us
that three quarts per ton make their hay
mere palatable, and prevent mustiness,
while others give uniavorable reports. So
small a quantity would not probably produce
much effect either way. Hay contains natu-
rally several pounds of salt per ton (the pre-
else amount we have not a. handy, which
is probably about as much as animals need.
y difficulty in sailing hay is in applying it
evenly it would he likely to be spread in
masses, and animals would get it in undue
quantities at times. Tn the whole We have
not much to say in favor of sailing hay.
but would depend much more on a good
feeding machine. Country Gentleman.
