When to Cut Timber.

An Arkansas correspondent of the ,Scie1.
tpc american says: II came here 80 years
since, and began clearing land and build
ing houses with hewn logs and boards
split from the trees. After several years'
residence noticed that very often pieces
of the same kind of timber decayed more
quickly than others; and after much
thought and observation / came to the
conclusion that timber felled when the leaf
first commenced to grow rotted the sap off
very quickly, but the heart remained sound;
that timber telled after the fall of the leaf
rotted in the heart, even when apparently
sound on the outside. When firewood cut
in the winter was put on the fire the san
came out of the heart, but when cut in the
summer the sap came out of the sap wood,
and next the bark. / noticed also that ali
our lasting wood has but little sap at auy
time in the heart-such as cedar, mulberry.
sassafras and cypress. A cypress post cut
in the summerof 1888 is still sound, al.
though exposed TO all weathcrs, while one
of the same kind of timber, cut in the win
ter of 1855, and painted, has rotted in the
heart. l saw yesterday piece of gum
plank, which sawed in the summer of
1865, that has lain ever since, and is FER
fectly sound while oak timber that was
felled in the winter before is now entirely
rotten. My conclusion then is: Cut tim.
Der after full leaf say in July and August,
to get the most last from it. The sap goes
into the heart Of the tree after leaf fall, and
causes decay"

How to Feed Corn Stalks PrOfltabIy.

INTO the fall feed Of dairy cows, and how 10
iced them is the important question. The
common practice is to feed them in the
bundle, as but few farmers feel able or

from experience that little brine sprink-
LED upon stalks once every day before feed

spects. The weak brine will cause the
COWS to consume nearly all, even when fed
whole; the flow of milk increases, the con-
dition OF the COWS improve, and they show
greater contentment; especially is this last
remark true on cold, windy and rainy DAYS.

Large ears are usually satisfied with learn
ing the leading facts of case, with tho
general principles involved-too strict an
attention to the enumeration of details,
especially all repetition of the more unim.

with such ears like generally, and are usu
ally well fitted to conduct large enterpris-
es; to receive and pay out money in large
sums; in buying or selling would prefer
leaving u margin rather than reduce the
quantity ofgoods of any sort to the exact
dimensions of the measure specified, and
in giving would prefer to give with free
hand and without too strict calculation
as to the exact amount. Small ears on the
