RYE.-Rye rs e crop has been very
much overlooked IN the West. Last fall
an occasional farmer thought far enough
ahead 10 realize that it would be a diff
cult undertaking to get his stock through
the winter on the small amount of feed
on hand, aud i'm seaChing for a substitute
selected rye. Never did men make a bet
ter choice. Those that >owed earlier
were blessed with a good pasture long
before even the best bluegrass would do
to turn on.
Aside from the great benefit of this ce-
real n a pasture, We ahink il is perhaps
more profitable rs a commercial crop than
either wheat or oats. 1t has dcmOnstrat-
ed its impregnability To cold winters,
chiuch bugs and all other insects, and
viii yield from twenty To sixty bushels
per acre. Last fall it was worth more
per bushcl than wheat, and ordinarily it
is worth nearly rs much. Aside from it,
commercial value it is a good crop for the
1 land; the roots penetrate to a great
/ depth, acting to some extent as an IN
| derdrain. KS feed for horses it IS excel
lent, promoting a good bone, health and
| a fair glossy coat. When it is desirable,
as it is this year, to grain the hogs early,
} it Will pay very handsomely to let the
4 crop stand until its straw falls, then turn
on the hogs and no kind of feed will
make a larger or quicker growth in them.
We call attention thus early that our
readers may make arrangement for their
seed. We know it will pay to SOW rye

Swinburne opens his papers, entitled
1.-The Three Stages of Shakespeare, - with
the subjoined fine passage:
The first of living poets had drawn a
parallel of elaborate eloquence between
Shakespeare and the sea; and the likeness
holds good in many points of les signti-
canoe than those which have been set
down by the master-hand. For two hun
bred years at least have students of ev-
cry kind put forth in every sort of boat
on a longer or shorter voyage of research
across the waters of that unsOunded sea.
From the paltriest fishing craft to such
majestic galleys as were steered by Col
eridge and by Goethe, each division of
the feet has done or has eSSayed its turn
of work; some busted in dredging along
shore, some taking surveys of this or that
gulf or hcadland, some putting forth
through shine and shadow into the dark
ness of the great deep. Nor does il seem
rs if there would sooner be an end to
mems labor on this than on the other
sea. But here a difference is perCeptible
The material ocean has been so far mas
tered by the wisdom and the heroism of
man that We may look for time to come
when the mystery shall be manifest of its
farthcst north and south, and men re-
solve the secret of the uttcrmoSt parts of
the sea; the poles, also, may find their
Columbus. But the limits of that other
ocean. the laws of its tides, the motive
of its forces, the mystery of its unity,
and the secret of its change, no Seafarcr
of Us all may ever think thoroughly to
know. No wind gauge viii help us TO
the science of its storms, no lead-line
sound for us the depth of its divine and
terrible serenity.

TINE 10 CUT GRAss.-Ihe hay crop, ac-
cording to the last census, cannot be esti-
mated at less than $400,00O 900, and this
immense aggregate shows the importance
of outstanding the great resource i'll the
best manner. We shall not Overstate the
fact if we say that % per cent. of the hay
crop is lost by late cutting. Nature, in
her efforts TO perfect the seeds in all cur
cereal grains and grasses, accomplishes
this at the expense of the nutriment con-
tanned in the stalk. In fact, it may be
assumed as true, that at the time of bios
somiug the stalk contains all the nutri-
ment that the seed and stalk contain after
ripening, and therefore that nothing has
been gained by allowing the seed to ri
pen, unless in the case Of cereal grains,
which are most valuable for their seed.
As the seed ripens, the soluble food con-
stitueuts are taken from the stalk to per-
feet the seed. C-emical analysis has
shown that clover, just before blossom
ing, contained only IS per cent. of insolu-
BILE fibre, but Immediately after poisoning
43 per cent. of insoluble fibre. All ex-
periments tend to show that our grass
| crops extended for fodder should be cut
and cured into hay before nature has
commenced the formation of seed. There
fore, the proper time for cutting grass
for hay is the commencement of blossom
ing. There is more hay i'll it at this time,
dili consequently ~ 4tHuiANo AdOAO SNaA =
ing; but each ton Of hay cured
is worth at least % per cent. more as
nutriment for stock than after the seed
forms.
Hay is also injured by being too much
exposed to the rays of the sun. This
causes the volatile aroma to escape, and
also dissipates much OF the coloring mat
ter, as may be seen by the bleaching, and
also by feeding to mich cows, from
which the milk and butter will be light
colored. Here comes in the value of
the hay cap, which protects the hay
cock from the rays of the sun, and allows
it to cure with the fine green color pre-
served.
We write thus early that our readers
may have attention called to this import
matter in season. 1t is one of those
/ subjects that seem to require reiteratiOn
more than almost any other. The far
mer is conservative of old habits. He
/ has heard many say that ripe hay goes
| further-Spends better. Yes, and
/ brush would last still longer for fodder.

JENNY LIND.-A London correspondent
thus describes Jenny Lindas seen at Il re-
cent gathering; "She dresses her hair in
precisely the same style rs when in Amer
lea, twenty-five years ago. IL is but
slightly tinged with frost, and is nearly
as full and flowing as of yore. Age has
more particularly left its imprint in the
shape of crows feet on her chin and
neck, and at the corners of her eyes and
mouth. She has the same blended eX-
preston of firmness and sweetness of
temper, the same winning smile, and the
same simplicity of behavior. She was
dressed in dark ash-colOred silk, with q
rich India shawl thrown loosely over her
shoulders. On her head was small
straw hat bearing short, white plume.
She was accompanied by her husband
and two lovely daughters, aged about
eighteen and twenty, looking very much
as their mother gifted mother did&t their
age. Mr.. Goldschmidt shows the effect
of age and study, his head being as bald
and shining as white bean"

OXYGEN AN ANrIporE FOR PnosruoRus

OXYGEN AN ANTIDoTE FOR Phosphorus
PoIsoNING.-MM. Threinesse and Case
have found that injections Of oxygen in
to the veins neutralize the tonic effect of
phosphorus. The gas must be pure, and
free from admiXture with air, and must
be introduced very slowly. The precise
apparatus used is not described; and it
appears that the quantity of gas required
is very large, several cubic feet being
administered To an animal weighing twen-
ty pounds. The results, however, were
IL every way successful.

GLASS A NoN-CoNDUcToR OF HEAT
That glass is practically non-conductor
of heat, rs we'll as of electricity, has been
demonstrated by various ingenious eX-
periments. a familiar example in point
is the use of glass as an insulator, non
conductor for telegraphic purposes. 1t is
difficult to draw the line of non-cOnduc-
ton, but bad conductors of heat are prac-
tically assumed as non-conductors. The
question of conduction is simply one of
degree. Thus, let two rods of equal size
and length-but one of copper and the
other of glass-be brought together, and
have at their extremity small weight or
marble, attached by wax; then apply a
spirit lamp TO their ends, touching each
other so that the heat be equally applied.
Now, in the copper, owing to its being a
good conductor, the wax will rapidly
melt and let the weight drop; while in
the case of the glass, owing to its being 4
very bad conductor, long time must
elapse before such result can ensue.

The Depth Of the Great Lakes.

There is a mystery about American
lakes. Lake Erie is only sixty or seventy
feet deep; but Lake. Ontario, which 10
500 feet deep, is 230 feet below the tide
level OF the ocean, or as low as most
parts Of the Gulf OF st. Lawrence; and
the bottom of Lakes Huron, Michigan
and Superior, although the surface is
much higher, are all from their vast
depths on a level. with the bottom Of
Ontario. Now as the dis scharge through
the River Detroit, after allowing all this
probable portion carried off by eyapora-
tions, does not appear by any means
equal to the quantity of water which the
three upper lakes receive,,it has been
conjectured that a subterranean river
may run from Lake Superior, BY the
Huron, TO Lake Ontario. The conjecture
is not impossible, and accounts for the
singular fact that salmon and herring
are caught in all the lakes communicat-
Ing with st. Lawrence, but no others.
AS the falls of Niagara must have al
ways existed, it would puzzle the nat
uralist to say how'these fish got into the
upper lake without some subterranean
river; moreover, any periodical OBJ
struction of the river would furnish a
not improbable solntion Of the myster-
ious tiuX and retlux of the lakes.
