THE New TELEGRAPHIC SYSTEM
The new system of sending local
messages by means of pneumatic tubes
has Just been put in operation by the
Western Union Telegraph Company in
New York. The tubes are made of
brass, and are = inches in diameter.
At present there are four tubes in
operation. The message is encased in
a sole leather tube. covered with felt
ing about six inches long, like an
ordinary leather dice~box, but with a
broader fange of telling at one end,
which fits tight in the brass tube. The
other end is open for the reception of
the rolled-up message, save that broad
elastic band holds the contents in place.
Each tube can be made at will either a
receiving or sending tube. Each has
two valves regulated by stop cocks. by
means of which the air is either turned
on or exhausted The time of the
transmission of message is twenty
five seconds. The engine in use is a
thirty-horse power COMPRISING engine,
and exhausting at the same time from
two seoarate reservoirs. 1t has a
capacity tor forty tubes, although at
present there are only four in use. 1t
is intended to extend these pneumatic
tubes from all the principal sub stations
in the city to the main office, thereby
lessening the cost of transmitting mes
sages, as the services Of the dispatchlng
and receiving operators are thereoy
dispensed with.

ROOTS AMONG CORN.

There has been and is quite differ
ence of opinion as to the value of roots
for feeding stock. but when fed in small
quantities, and in connection with hay
and grain, think they have generally
given satisfaction, especially if the grow
er had a fine crop; and just here is a
point that should be thoughtfully con-
sidered, as it makes quite difference if
roots cost 20 cents per bushel, or only
10 cents. think it is better generally
to grow them in corn and potato fields
as second crop. or in vacant spots in
such fields. than to devote land exclu-
sively to them. 1t has been a practice
among some farmers to sow turnips In
corn fields at the last working, and it is
a very good practice. often getting quite
large CROP but turnips are not near
ly as valuable for feeding as the ruta
baga, and by little fOrethought, and a
little care in preparing plants to set out
you can grow the ruta baga just as vel

FODDER CORN.

This crop has come into use so extern
sively as to have established a good rep
utation. A large growth of excellent
fodder can be produced and is available
at a time when it is generally needed.
to keep the cows in good condition for
milk when the pastures begin to fail.
This crop is said to improve rather than
deplete the soil, and the statement is
doubtless correct. The Country Gentle
man on this subject says: at was held
in the discussion at the New York State
fair, that corn in orchards is an advan-
tage, owing to the cultivation which the
land receives; and it was further men
toned in the remarks that corn sown for
fodder, in which case there are no ears
to draw substance from the soil, improv-
ed rather than depleted the land, by the
vegetable matter which the roots furn-
ished the soil. This is on the principle
that land improves by grazing. The
grass is fed off without going to seed.
The cases are parallel, as corn is a grass.
This is encouraging to those who grow
fodder corn that this is So Good crops
can thus be realized for feeding green
during the summer; or, If not all need
ed, cured for winter feed, the land re-
naming the same, or better fitted for
other equally good or superior crops.
Glover is still more beneficial to land.
The two should be more grown, especial
ly for the purpose of feeding in a
drought, or when the grass becomes rank
and hard, and also as feed during the
hot days, particularly the hot moons, when
cows should be put up or have access tC
shade and then fed. Cows giving mill
should be thus treated, as exposure t,
the hot sun begets fever, and the effec
is communicated to the milk"
Continuous exhaustion of the soil is
ruinous process, and if we can raise
valuable crop and improve the soil at tn
same time, there is double advantag
in growing such crop. We recOmmer
to those who are in the dairy business
make practical use of this suggestio
the present season, if they have not don

HOME RELIGION.

daughter" or, "Will you not please try
and get a chance to talk with that young
man who stands by the door looking this
way? 1t is my son, and it is such
cross to speak to my own children"
These and similar remarks have very
frequently greeted our ears during the
past few years, as we have been engaged
in Christian work at intervals, when we
could be spared from business, and our
own church. They usually come, too,
from the burdened heart of father or
mother who can speak, or pray, or sing
in prayer-meeting, but in whose home
religion is not an everyday, natural res
ident, only guest for the sabbath or
special occasions. Why not. fathers and
mothers. make home radiant with the
sunshine which can never be clouded,
full of JOY and gladness which springs
up here, like a fragrant and beautiful
flower, to be transplanted into the gar
den above?
Why not begin when it is so easy,
and when the little one loves the par
ent's voice and smile as it does none
other, to teach it of heavens purity,
Gods goodness, and a Saviour's love
Why not. while its heart is yet tender
and susceptible, weave around it those
heavenly bands which manhood and
womanhood will have neither the power
nor desire to break asunder? Why not
take them on the knee, and make more
attractive and indelible Bible stories
which give them correct ideas of God
and themselves. than any others? Why
not make the hour of devotion one Of

wILLoUGHBY VALE.


Oft since left thee, lovely vale,
My thoughts return TO thee;
The world hath charms, but none compare
With thy green hills to me.
The sun ne'er shone on brighter gems
Than thy blue violets fair,
That cluster on the river banks,
While perfumes lade the air.
The lovely stream, from whence thy name,
Flows murm'ring to the sea
For up among the hills its birth,
Shines joyous Willoughby.
Ere white men marred thy forrest fair,
There red men walked their trail
Along thy banks. and christened thee
Beautiful Will (Ough) by Vale.
Why is thy lovely name suppressed,
And changed 70 Evansville,
While such a name as Willoughby
Is ever clinging still?
The scented FIR. and stately spruce,
And cedar, evergreen.
No more their lofty waving plumes
Along thy banks are seen.
The spotted trout no more can course
His way along thy bed,
Where once he darted free as air,
The mill-waste now is led.
Thy forest trees, are now laid low;
Where once was waving pine.
Is waving now with fields Of grain,
And herds the lowing kline.
Give back the name, this boon l ask,
And love will still prevail,
If only that thy name shall be
Lovely WillOughby Vale.

THE STORY OF BARABBAs.

l have often thought what night
Barabbas must have spent just before the
day when Christ was cfucifed. As the
sun goes down, he says to himself: 40
morrow only tomorrow And | must
die on the cross. They will hang me
up before a crowd of people they will
drive nails through my hands and feet;
they will break my legs with bars of
iron; and in that awful torture l shall
die before this time tomorrow, and 60
up to the judgment with all my crimes
upon me-"
Maybe they let his mother come to
see him once more before dark. Perhaps
he had wife and children, and they
came to see him for the last time. He
couldn't sleep at all that night. He
could here somebody hammering in the
prisOH-yard, and knew they must be

every now and then, thinking he heard
the footsteps of the officers coming for
him. At last the light of the morning
looks in through the bars Of his prison.
"To-day-this very day-they will

Pretty soon he hears them coming.
No mistake this time. They are unbar-

door swings open; there are the soldiers.

what will there be then?
The officer of the guard speaks to him

He hears the strange words, but they
make very little impression on him. HI

that the good news does not reach him
He hears it, but thinks it foolish fancy
He is asleep and dreaming. He stand

COUNTRY RoADs.-Country road-mak-
ing is one Of the sciences in which we
cannot boast Of much progress within a
hundred years. Through wide sections
Of country the same old gumptionless
practice prevails, Of scraping the dirt
into the rOad-bed every year, at time
in the spring when the highways are
settling into reasonable smoothness, and
leaving it untouched during the rest of
the year. Even with gravel bank a
mile or two away, this shiftless style is
adhered to. The result is a narrow,
humped-up, undralned highway = so
rough and uneven as TO increase by fifty
per cent. the draft-pOwer required to
move heavy loads long distances. As it
is the weakest point that measures the
strength Of the chain, so it is the '.bad
places" that gives character to a road.
And if the entire highway work in a
district we're given to-making these per-
manently good, the whole road would be
better. Make clean and ample water
