NATURE AND LOVE.


The tender spring comes trenblingly;
Quiv'ring the blossoms softly break;
Each zephyr breathing gently by,
New forms, new beauties seem to wake.
So trembling wakes my love from thee,
So letters burst, springs fair aud free.
0 first sweet lovel O maiden mine!
0 strange new love! O birth divine!
SUMNER.
Full summer now-the genisl hours
Lend radiant noon to glowing night.
FGll summer see the cleaning flowers
Basking in fervio life and light.
And love too has its perfect ncoN,
Its summer sun, its summer M n!
In thy deep radiant eyes, my 20,
My triumph ies-there love IS seen.
AUTUMN.
Adown the fields the golden grain
Hangs heavy on the burdened stems.
through shimmering leaves the fruits again
Clean ruddy ripe, rich autumn's gems.
Hearts harvest too gather in,
Love, sweet to cherish, sweet to win,
For future days oerfowing store,
Love, could | ever love thee more2
WINTER.
Where are the flowers where the leaves?
Where the sweet zephyr's gentle breath ?
Where mellowed fruits and gentle sheaves
Dead, dead, all icy bound in death
Is Love too dead? Hence, needless pain
Love only sleeps to wake again.
Love dead? All no; not SO with Love
Love only dies to live above.

SNaSOnable Hints.

Extra green fodder will need to be
provided for the cattle now the pas
lures are getting SO short, and there's
nothing like the Trimmings of root crops
for this purpose. Apples, too, have
considerable value for cattle feed, but
the cattle should not have free access
to them. Apples should always be fed
at regular times, and in uniform
amounts. The usual sources of green
fodder, corn slower, etc., will of course
not be neglected.
The fence corners demand attention
SO long as we keep up the improbable
custom of having fences at all. The
moving machine cannot get into them,
but weed seed and unsightly bushes
can. A half-day's work in the fence
corners and along the walls will add
greatly to the thrifty appearance of the
place.
Reseeding old pastures, at the same
time adding phosphate and potassic
manures, and scratching up the sod
with heavy harrow, is getting to be a
favorite practice in some sections. The
result is bright, fresh growth of the
best of feed for the next season.-Sci-
esstifc Farmer.

RURAL AND DOMESTIC.
Preserving Fodder.

A letter from farmer in Central
Michigan details some items and scraps
of farm experience, and among other
things he narrates the manner he
adopted In the construction of his out
buildings. He boarded his barns with
green lumber and then slef5 cracks of
half an inch between the boards" so
that at the end of a year the cracks
were nearly an inch wide The object
of this In the case of the barns was to
admit free circulation and carry Of all
moisture and gasses which might have
been brought into the Enclosure in hay,
grain or roots. The notion in regard
to stables was that animals ought not
to be kept too warm-that fresh air in
the stables would presevere the health
of animals and give them better ap-
petite.

keeping Cider Sweet.

The editor Of the New England Far
MGR Endorsed the following mode of
preserving cider sweet for five years
Leach and filter the cider through
pure sand, after it has worked and be-
fore it has soured. Put no alcohol or
other substance with it. Be sure that
the vessels you put it in are perfectly
clean and sweet. After it has leached
or filtered put it in barrels or casks
filed, leaving no room for air; bung
them up tight and keep it where it
won't freeze till February or March,
then put it In champagne bottles filled;
drive the corks and wire them. The
best cider is late made, or made when
it is rs cold as can be and not be fro
zen." We drank some cider from a
barrel, filtered as above mentioned, the
hour of this writing, made in the inte-
rior of New York, which was as sweet
as if made only the day before.

This makes the cost per bushel ~
cents, while the market price which it
sold for was $1.45, making the total re-
turns 1852. 40, which leaves net profit
of $3.50. The value of the straw is
not taken into account, but he consid-
ers it sufficient as manure to keep the
land in good order On this point,
however, he is mistaken. The exhaus-
ton of soil produced by grain crop
is not entirely compensated by re-
turning the straw to the land. The
best way to keep up the fertility of the
land is by liberal manuring, which, if
judiciously applied, is more than paid
for by the increase of the crop. The
straw may then be utilized in feeding
SO as to pay much better that convert
ing it into long manure.
! Farmers have yet to learn than ma
nuring for profit and feeding for profit
are equally important and closely re-
lated to each other, and it is only when
best methods are adopted in each that
maximum results are to be expected

The CHICAGO LEDGER is said to have
spent $4,000 in advertising the past two
years, and by the looks of the newspa-
pers throughout the United States, we
should say it would take as much to go
round this year. And to cap the climax
the proprietors have announced the pa
per at $1.OO year. How it is done is q
mystery, unless they have more than "a
barrel of money to give away. We be-
lieve, however, it is the theory Of the
publishers that all they ask of theread-
er is to pay for the white paper and post
age; for their labor, when the paper
reaches loo, 900 or more circulation, their
advertising will pay the profit While
they are building up the paper they do
not solicit advertising, and hence the
readers get a great paper for 81 90 that is
worth $500. AS the publishers have the
money, no doubt they will succeed.

poorly posted indeed. Perhaps no ar

it is used there is but one opinion in
regard to it, and that is the highest
man can bestow. For diseases in cat

FROM the most careful Calculations
We can make, we conclude that for
every ton of wooden cloth made at
Lawrence, Lowell, Manchester, etc.
three tons of impurities are discharged
into the Merrimac river. The impurl-
ties consist of the fat and dirt from the
raw wool, stale urine, oil, glue, soda,
salts, soaps, dry wares, and mordants.
Thousands of tons of those impurities
are mingled with the river waters every
year, but the chemical tests have failed
to show their presence in the water at
the city of Haverhill, eight miles below
Lawrence. What becomes of these inn
purities ?-Joa>,7sol of Chemistry.
