Glover hay is very nutritious food
for horses, and when well cured and
put up so as to be free from dust and
mold, may be fed with entire safety.
The principal objection to its use lies
in the great difficulty which attends its
curing and preservation. Another OBJ
lection is found in the fact that some
times the second crop excites in horses
an unusual and eXhausting flow of sa-
Iva. When either of these objections
are present, it is better to dispense
with its use entirely. so far as the
horses are concerned; but otherwise it
is a good and safe food.

Trale-MarkS.

The importance of a law that would pro-
tect trade marks is receiving marked atten-
ton from the business public as well as from
Congress, the brands on some goods adding
largely to their commercial value, because
their merit is knewn to the consumer, and
the buyer looks to trade mark as constituting
his security. Thus the Gorham trademark
on sterling silverware; Colgates' mark to in
dictate the various grades Of their soaps and
toilet goods, has also very high commercial
value. The CHARTER OAK STOVE has
peculiar value of its own which so distin-
guishes it from all others that it has acquired
very large commercial value. Lorllsrd
Tobaccos are goods that the consumer asks
for in the same way. The law cannot be too
severe in protecting honest manufacturers.
The burning OF the great stove works gave
dealers some excuse for substituting other
stoves for the CHARTER OAK, but now that
the CHARTER OAK factory is at work again
turning out over 200 stoves a day, the trade
can get their orders filled promptly, and the
year 1881 bids fair to surpass all previous
years in the demand fort the famous CHARTER
OAK make. 4-2S)

Marking Farm Boundaries.

The most satisfactory method of To-
eating and designating corners for divi-
sion fences between adjoining farms
witnessed during recent visit to the
farm of the Hon. ID. Magone. The
surveyor had located, and workmen had
just finished setting stone at the ter
mination of each line in the boundary of
the farm. When an act like this is to
be performed, affecting property rights.
and intended to settle all disputes be-
tween neighbors, it should be attended
with some care. Now, in no case is it
impossible for neighbors to agree as to
where their division fences shall be To-
Gated, but in many cases they may
agree upon lines entirely erroneous, and
when future owners examine their
boundaries with the aid of competent
surveyors, and by the light of recorded
conveyances, this hap-hazard method
may prove prolific cause OF litigation.
When boundary lines are to be located,
the expense of procuring the assistance
OF competent civil engineer is COM
paratiyely small compared with the inn
pOrtance of the object to be accom-
pllshed. When the country was new
and land was held at low value, farm
ere were careless about corners and
boundary lines; a difference of few
feet, and in many cases a rod or more,
was considered as of no great impor-
lance. But as the country grows older
land improves in value, and farmers de-
sire to build more permanent fences, it
becomes more desirable to locate divi-
sion fences where they should be. When
the farms were first surveyed, it was
hardly ever deemed of sufficient i'm
portance to locate permanent monu-
ments; the practice was altogether too
prevalent OF blazing" some small tree
or perhaps merely setting some stake.
Either practice was good for the time,
but was not lasting, and in many cases
all such monuments have long since
been Obliterated in time.
The gentleman to whom | have re-
ferred, to mark the boundary between
his and the adjoining farms. procured
and set stone slabs seven feet into the
ground, the upper end of each slab pro-
Jectlng few inches above the surface.
When this Is done, map OF the farm is
made, and thus certain method is
provided of settling all disputes that
may arise in reference to boundary
lines. The question may be asked. is
all this trouble worth the cOstP | an
swer unhesitatngly, Yes. In every
farming community, every question af-
fecting landed property is of impor-
lance, and none more so than questions
relating to boundary lines, Once set
tie such too often disagreeable questions
and they are settled forever
In great many cases, farms are
composed OF a single lot, of a square or
rectangular shape. In such case,
only four boundary monuments are re-
luired, and when adjoining owners
share the cost OF procuring the services
of a surveyor where it is necessary, and
join in the trouble and expense of set
ting the boundary stones, the cost is re-
duced to minimum. Cor. Country

Anecdotes Of Artemus Ward.

Mr.. TOoLE, who was one of Artemus
Wards most intimate friends in Lon
don, says that he told him the follow
ing story: He went to lecture at re-
mote place, where his face was not
known. He was little late; the audi
ence became inpatient. and began to
stamp with their feet and to whistle.
BY and by Ward came out and began to
move about the platform, dustin: the
chairs and desk. The people took him
for "supe,' and became still more
impatient. Presently he turned around,
dropped the dust-cloth, and said:
CHOW, having busted the chairs, L will
begin my lecture" Many of the jokes
he made were not so good as this, but,
no doubt, served to amuse himself and
others. An acquaintance told me that
he was once riding in Broadway omni-
bus when Browne got in, and, on be-
ing asked for his fare, inquired of the
driver if he could change five dellars.
The driver said he could not, stopped
the coach, and requested Ward to get
out. Upon this Ward became very In
dignant. Why should he get outP Be-
cause he had not the proper fare. "But
I have" he said: Il never said
hadn't ten cents. l only asked if you
could change five dollars. "-E. s. Ma

James Merrill was as good az Thoreau,
80 far as the habit of observation could

He showed US, in the occasional de-
posts of soft mud by the water bars on
the mountain road, how to distinguish
squirrel-tracks, sable-tracks, bear
tracks. A bear had passed. as he proved
to us, within few days, which had
weighed about one hundred and seven
ty-tive pounds, and was probably two
years old. He pointed out to us where,
in sandy places, the young partridges
had nestled and tluttered like hens in
the path, and where the hedgehogs had
gnawed and torn the roots in the wood.
He told us how these little ''quill-pigs. "

themselves with their tails, thrashing
them about till the nose of dog or

The English Gamekeeper.

The tall and stout yet slightly stoop-
ing form; the velveteen coat, glazed at
the shoulder and sleeve where the gun
rubs; the dog whistle at his button
hole; his pocket knife, which is a
basket of tools in itself; his gun, which
he loves as an old companion, and the
balance and chang" of which he is so
accustomed to that he never thinks of
aiming-"he simply looks at the OBJ
joct, still or moving, throws the gun up
from the hollow of his arm, and instant
ly pulls the trigger, staying not a second
to glance along the barrel" He is per-
fectly civil to every one; and with a
willing manner toward his master and
his masters guests, he yet has won
derfol knack of getting his own way.
Great on dogs, his opinion is listened to
and taken by everybody, and by this
knowledge many "tips'' are gained.
At the farmhouse he is invited to sit
down and take a glass, for his gossip is
welcome, and his favor is always worth
cultivating. He is proud of his occupa.
ton, and delights in the woods and the
fresh air. He thinks the smell of the
earth a fine thing. and the hedges and
grass "as sweet as sugar." after q
shower. If man asks him to take glass
of ale he never says "No;" and when
gentlemen give him t'tips," he is s'much
obliged" and takes them home to his
''missus." He is not afraid of wet
weather, for he does not regard it; and
great-coat he scouts as q thing of
naught. He has likewise his faults.
Toward his undermen, and the laborers
and woodmen who transgress his rules,
he shows hasty temper, and is apt to
use his ground-ash stick rather freely,
without thought of consequences.
When he takes dislike to man, moth
ing will remove it; his hatred is cordial,
and he is full of prejudices. Conserva-
tive in his way of thinking, the i'm
pressions of his youth are strong within
him, and he looks with contempt OF
everything which DIVORCES from his
early-formed habits and methods. Yet
he never gets sour of life. The s'tips"
that are forthcoming from picnic par
ties who frequent his grounds in sum-
MGR, and from the young gentlemen
who have a turn at ferreting rabbits with
him iN winter, add certain softening
element to his surroundings, and as he
is proud VI his cottage, OF his wife, of
his family, of his gun, and of his dogs,
he IS on the whole as comfortable and
happy as may be.-ErchGnge.

Ancient Rome.

The Romans were keen, business
like men, who never pretended to be
above trade. even thoug h they were of
superior rank or wealth. It did not
cost much to keep man in the early
centuries, the yearly allowance for
slave being thirty-seven dollars and a
half, while y free laborer lived for forty
four dollars a year. Corn was the main
stay, fifteen million bushels being con-
sumed annually, and oil and honey
were used in large quantities. Among
the rich, epicures were more common
and more extravagant than in the modern
world. Fortunes were spent on single
banquets. Men were absurdly lavish.
And yet everything was very cheap
even in this extravaganza city. The
market reports show that lamb and fish
were only six cents per pound, beef four
cents, fish two cents, pair of quail
thirty cents, eggs six cents per dozen,
wheat sixteen cents per peck, four
pounds of large grapes two cents;
chickens, per pair, thirty cents; five to
ten heads of lettuce two cents. The
Romans were not very fond of any meat
save pork, and this they consumed
sparingly. Beef was not popular, being
used mostly for sacrifices. Game and fish
were favorite articles, and many choice
imported fish brought large prices. The
common people could not afford many
luxuries, as wages were low. The
yearly pay of q journeyman mechanic
was from ninety-five dollars to one hum
dred and twenty-five dollars and board.
Food cost forty dollars and clothing
fifteen dollars per year. From the &C
count of Forbiger it seems that goods
were very low. A pair of shoes cost
thirty cents; one pair of woman's gait
ers, thirty cents; one felt hat, one dol
lar; one tunic, sixteen dollars to thirty
six dollars; one toga, twenty dollars to
twenty-eight dollars. A man could get
shave for two cents. The Romans
spent large amounts on other luxuries
beside those of the table. The imports
of flowers. perfumes, ointments and
dresses from India in one year amount
ed to two million two hundred thou
sand dollars. In furniture they had
their decorative art crazes, the citrus
wood tables being favorite articles for
squanderipg money upon. In Cicero's
time it was not unusual to spend fifty
thousand dollars for one of these tables,
and Seneca. the stole, who prated of
the virtues Of abstinence and the vice of
luxury, owned five hundred of them.
