Everybody who has a garden or vegeta-
bic patch knows what this little succulent
plant is. We, last season, mentioned how
useful species Of green food this is for
poultry And many a bushel that ordina-
rily would have been suffered TO 20 to rot,
or to the pig pen, if gathered after the
FIRST corn and potato field hoeing, was
picked up and fed to the farmers fowls,
last year, uponour Recommendation in the
PoULrRY WORLD. This spreading weed
grows quickly and may be taken up in
quantities the last of this month and dur
ing July and August anywhere in our
ploughed fields OF spaded gardens, where
the soil is pretty rich. You certainly
won't find 1t in poor ground Gather Il
peck or half a bushel in the morning, while
the dew lies upon it. Scald two quarts Of
corn meal and bran, chop the "pussey'
with a sharp spade in Tub or 6rkin and
mix it with the meal Feed it in 10 your
twenty, thirty, or forty fowls, and you will
find that they will devour it with a great
appetite. 1t costs little or nothing, and
for the present season, while grass is be-
coming tough and wiry, 1t will answer an
admirably economical and beneficial pur-
pose, as every one agrees who has tried
this hitherto quite neglected but useful
and nourishing food for domestic fowls

KN The Weeds Ia Auaust.

There is no better month in which TO
kill the Canada thistle, as we'll as weeds
generally, and the destruction of bushes,
than August. 1t is also peculiarly time
when farmers are not so much hurried and
whom the weeds have fully developed them
selves. The farmer can see at a glance,
indeed has seen all the season, the necessi-
ty of commencing tho work Of destruction.
The best thing to be done with weeds Of
all kinds extirpated from the land, is to
use them in the compost heap, or gather
them in large heaps to remain till dry, and
then burn them up, root and branch.
The practice of some farmers who look on
ly TO their own selfish purposes, who live
for themselves, and rarely have neigh
Dor with whom they are on friendly terms,
is to pull up and throw into the public
highway the weeds from their fields There
they are left to ripen their seed, and the
FIRST heavy shower Of rain that mes,they
are carried away, sometimes for miles,
either into the land Of some other farmer,
or into stream, to be landed along the
banks for great distance. Wehaye more
than once seen people calling themselves
farmers and Christians engaged III this
mean business.-Germantown Telegraph

The Majesty Of The Scriptures.

I confess to you that the majesty OF the

philosophers with ell their pomP how pet

so sublime and so simple, the work Of man?
Can IL be that he whose history 1t relates
vss himself mere man. Is this the tone
OF an enthusiast, or Of mere secretary ?
What sweetness, what purity IN his man
uers, What touching grace IN his instruc-
,ions What elevation IN his maNlms What
profound wisdom in his discOUrseS . What
presence Of mind, what acu'euess, what
irstness m MS replies What empire oy-
er h!s passions Where is the man, where

The death OF William Cullen Bryant
at the advanced age Of eighty-.our, calls
to mind ,he longevity that is character
iste Of men OF letters, and also the fact
that many Of those whose names are held
most dear now are already far on for any
bu, the literary life. Thus Mr. Emerson
is seyenty-6ve years old; Mr. LongiellOw
Is seycnty-one; Mr. Whittier will be seyen-
u one next December, and Mr. Tennyson is
sixty-uine They are all OF them still Wig
orous aud active, and from each the world
has heard something new within short
time. Taking Mr. Bryant's age as a stand
ard these have still many years Of life and
usefulness before them And 1t is note
worthy that Mr. Bryant who dies now at
eighty-four, was in his childhood what
they call prodigy Testimony mad to
be produced that he really wrote his own
poems, and there were about him those
characteristics which it Is commonly suppos-
cd, promise an early death. Happily for
the world this superstition IN MS case prov
cd Itself III error.
