Comparative Value of Straw for Stock,

THE value of straw as fodder for do
mestic animals will always depend on the
condition in which the CROP, was secured
Chemists tell US that in the straw of
cereal grain, when kernels have arrived
at maturity, there is more or less muci-
laginous and saccharine matter. When
the grain is in the milk-state the guam
tity of such material is much greater
than it is after the period of perfect ma.
turity. Sir II. Davy says: "When we
allow wheat to stand uncut till the grain
is fully ripe, a portion of the sugar in
the sap is converted into mutilage and
lost in the atmosphere Intelligent
farmers understand that, when straw of
any kind of grain or grass is exposed to
the alternate influences of rain, dew
sunshine and drying wind, all the muci-
laginous and saccharine material will be
dissolved and washed out in a few DAYS.
But if the straw of wheat be harvested
while the leaves are somewhat green,
aad be protected from the influences of
the elements just alluded to by the use
OF hay-caps to cover the shocks of grain
in stormy weather, the straw will furnish
large quantity of excellent fodder
for sheep or other animals The color is
always reliable indication of the rela-
tive amount of nutritive matter present
or wanting in any kind of straw or hay.
Some agricultural chemists have record
ed analyses of the nutritive value of
wheat straw, making it in some instances
almost equal to poor quality of hay.
But it is evident to every practical
farmer that equal quantities of the same
kind OF straw possess widely different
quantities of nutriment when the sam
Piles were not cured alike. The leaves of
grass and clover, when cured properly,
retain all their nutritive properties; but
when allowed to dry in the wind and
sunshine, ard to be wet few times, they
will make but little better fodder than
the dry and weather beaten leaves Of

The Dead Alive.

About two years ago a young man, a
son of Mr.. John Knowles, sexton of the
First Presbyterian Church, Trenton, n.
j., suddenly disappeared. His father,
after some time had elapsed, advertised
for his missing son, describing him mi
nutcly. A person in Philadelphia saw
the notice in newspaper while he was in
barber-shop, and, we think, published
or word was sent TO Mr.. Knowles that
some time before he was in boat with
his son and three others crossing the Ches-
apeake Bay, that the boat was capsized,
and his son, we think, and two others
were drowned. Mr. Knowles went down
TO the vicinity Of Baltimore and TO the
place where the account stated his son was
buried and had him exhumed. Upon ex-
animation Mr.. Knowles says that he verify
believed the body to be that Of his son.
There was an insurance on his life of ST.
900. The company refused to pay because
they were not satisfied Time passed on
and nothing more was thought about the
matter until the long lost son made his APP
pearance a few mornings ago, at four
o'clock, at his fathers residence. Upon
learning the facts of the drowning case he
stated that be had been all this time in the
West and had never been nearer Baltimore
than Philadelphia. His arrival created a
wonderful surprise in the family and to all
who knew the circumstances in Trenton

Early or Late Planting.

Is IT best to plant as early as possible
or to defer the work as long as can be
safely doneg This is question in which
all farmers are interested, and to which
each year they are practically Obliged TO
reply. While there are many advocates
for each of these extremes, think there
is golden mean" which will lead TO
much better results. Either of the ex-
tremes is open TO grave objections,
which do Tot lie against time half way
between. 1t is true, as the advocates OF
early planting claim, that, if the seed is
got into the ground very early, the work
is done and out of the way of other things
which then need attention. But the OBJ
jections to this course are that the ground
and weather are so cold early in the
season that the seed either rots in the
ground or else is long while coming up;
often falls a prey to wire-worms; the
plants, if any appear, are tender and grow
very slowly, while the weeds, which are
more hardy, at once go ia and possess the
land. Late planting is not open to these
objections, but it is open to some which
are quite serious II the season is back
ward and the planting is put off as late
as possible, the plants are not large
enough to be hoed more than once before
hayins-time, and there is danger that the
crop will not be fully matured before the
autumn frosts. l think the best way is
to begin the preparation of the land
quite early, plow, and get it nearly fitted
to receive the seed. Keep blowing and
fitting but do not put in the seed until
both ground and weather are warm
Then 90 over the land with harrow i'll
order to destroy the weeds which have
started up and also to make a fine bed
for the seed, and do the planting as soon
as possible. Then the crop will get as
good a start as the weeds, grow rapidly,
be ready for the second or third hoeing
before time for getting hay, and have
abundant time in which to get perfectly
ripe.-Couatry Gentleman.

excellence and perfectness equalcd by no

Self.CHlfure and Self-Saerifice.

The fact is that selfculture and SELF
sacrifice, rightly understood, are not hos
tile forces between which we must
choose. The two things are so bound
up together that We cannot have either
one of them to any power and pur-
pose without having good deal OF the
other. Self-denial is necessary to self
culture and self culture to all noble and
beautiful self-sacriice.
Self-denial is necessary TO self-culture
One can see that upon the lowest planes
of self-culture as well as On the highest
| know that there are those Bho think
that the symbol of all early education is
a sugaE-coa,ed pill. Mrs. Browning
sings of the ability which mothers have
to teach loves holy earnest in pretty
play" And there are those who would
persuade Us that all youthful education
can be insinuated in this delightful man.
ner doubt it very much. 1t seems TO
NE that before a child is many years old
he ought, if possible, to be made to
understand that this mortal life of
ours is something more than a great
playhouse; that there is real hard work
that must be done, and the sooner some
of it is done the better. SelfcuIture
does not properly begin until these
things are clearly apprehended. But the
apprehension OF these things means self
denial. II means that some thing must
be given up for the sake of some other
things, some pleasant things fo- the sake
Of some things which may not be imme-
diately pleasant, but which are essential
to the ultimate establishment of our
right to be here on the planet enjoying
the various benefits of existence. As
soon as possible every child should be
made to know that as life is a perpetual
receiving it ought, in all fairness and
honesty and decency, to be a perpetual
giving.
