HAY.MAKrNo IN NoRwAY.-Of this O
correspondent thus writes The way
they make hay in Norway will be new to
your farmer readers. The grass is hung
up on poles to dry, and have never seen
such .bright-colored hay in my life. II is
almost as brighta green as when growing.
In some fields you see strings of fences,
a few rods long, which begin and end no.
where. These lines of fence are about
as wide apart as a New England Farmer
makes his winrows. On these fences the
grass is hung till the wind and sun can
cure IL. The sun does not burn ii. That
is one woy, and perhaps the most com
mon. The other way is to plant posts in
the fields, twelve feet or so apart, and In
these posts insert pegs about one foot
asunder. On these pegs poles are laid,
and on them the grass is hung just as we
used to dry paper at the mills down East
forty years ago. The result Is hay that
any farmer would be proud of.
THE WIRE WORM. Being troubled with
the little pests one year, was advised to
soak my seed corn in solution of cop
peras and saltpeter, using one-fourth of a
pound each to bushel of ears Of com
mon eightrowed corn. The result was
that my seed all grew, and lost none by
the wire worms, and | never saw corn
have so dark and vigorous color before.
Since then | always soak my seed twelve
hours after being shelled. | do not know
as it would affect the cut-worm, but /
have never been troubled with them since
| used the solution of copperas and salt
peter. Neither was | ever troubled with
them when plowed my corn in the fall
which | would invariably do on old sod
Some farmers exterminate them by hunt
ing them out in the hill and killing them
by hand, but this is slow and tedious
work, and is liable to be slighted by hired
help.-Cor. Country Gentleman.
A PAPER was read before the Illinois
State Homeopathic Association at its re.
cent annual session In Chicago, from
which the following is extracted Nc
wound was more dreaded than the bite oi
a rabid dog, and every year one or more
persons in every large city die from sim
pie fear. If it is claimed that the dos
was not rabid, but only mad, at the TINT
of biting, and that the saliva progresse.
to rabidity in process of time, why are
not dogs and hogs bitten by a merely mac
dog subject to hydrophobia? If a maj
is of strong mind, the chances of his dy
ing from the bite of dog actually rabiC
are infinitely less than in the case of one
who gives himself up to gloomy forebod
ings. If cheerful, buoyant person is in
jured, after the first shock is over, he rap
idly rallies, and is likely to recover. Ply
sicians should rely more implicitly upor
keeping the mind in a cheerful condition
than upon drugs. Several instances were
given in illustration. The most success
tul physicians are those possessing tn,
faculty of keeping their patients in gooC
spirits, even though their prescription
may be faulty. Homeopathy has woI
many laurels by reason of the small
amount of medicine given, when the rea
credit was due to other causes. One to re
cover from disease or injury, needs the
full exercise Of his mind, and hence thu
patient should not be siupetied by opiate,
or made drunk on alcohol.
