NEW HEALTH LAW IN NEW YORK -
The new law in New York marks the he
ginning of a new method of dealing with
the subject. 1t takes the matter OF food
aduIteraliOn out of politics " and places
II under the control OF body of scientific
men, who are not concerned about party
majorilies or the wishes of Interested per
sons, hut who will treat every complaint
brought within their jurisdiction on a
purely scientific question. The public ad
vantage of this change is obvious. 1t is
measured by the difference between hav.
ing the purity of food determined accord
ING to its actual purity or impurity or de.
rermined wholly upon some foreign con
side alton. which has nothing whatever to
do with the quality of what the people eat
But the law goes further and provide.
means for protecting the pockets as well
~ the stomachs of the people. The law
defines an adultrated article to be:
l. II any substance or substances has
or have been mixed with it 80 Ms to reduce
or lower Or irjuriously affect its quality or
Strength.
2 fanny inferior or cheaper substance
or substances have been substituted wholly
or in part Tor the article
3. If any vain bile constituent of the
article has been wholly or in part abstract.

Under the second of these definitions the

may be the respective merits of the two

costs less than real butter, and therefor

REMARKS.

We are glad our friend, Mrs. Boyce
believes in out door life in greater amount
for women, and sorry she can make no
suggestion for its more immediate realiza
ton.
1t is truth of surety that farmers
wives are overworked, and so. are farm
ers as we'll; at least, many whom kno =,
and in each case it is because " there is so
much 10 be done; and the discerning la
borer sees it and the ambitious one tries
to do it. 1.-THE corn needs hoeing, for
haying will soon be here" and the farmer
springs to the work with a will 1.-The
grass needs to be cut" and down comes
the acres of waving spires to shining
waths; and then rain storm or a shower
IS imminent, and every nerve is strained

waste.
1t all haslits source in the laudable am
,ition 10 amass and save something for

Our farmers are now in the midst Ct
this busy harvest, with its heat. hard work
and anxiety. How carefully the skv i,

trying season.
Glover is growing in favor with us year
ly. We used to have trouble in curing il
when we tried to cure it entirely by sun
shine. The leaves would dry and all rat
tie off before we could get the stalks dry
enough to put in the barn. Now we have
just put in he barn one piece which we
put in cocks after ii had had one days sun,
and there it stood forty eight hours, for il
looked likely TO rain. Then good day
came, and when the dew was off it WI
opened. The leaves were all there, and
a, green in color as when Gu; the stalks
were shruhken, and all MS fragrant as could
be desired 1t was ready TO put in directly
after dinner. and was secured in the be,,
condition we ever got crop of clover in
Cooking hay adds to the labor some.
what, for it is as much work TO cock it rs
it is to put ii in the barn; but in many
cases it pays.
We believe the general tendency is
toward putting hay in the barn greener
than formerly; that many times it is drieu
quite too much. A good sweating in the
NOV will do no harm. We have seen il
so moist that Ito I'd stools " would grow
on top Of the NOV, AMI yet all except
foot or so on top of the NOW be in perfect
condition; and some who put in their hay
very rapidy-all in u few days-put
thick layer Of straw over the NOW to
receive the moisture rising from it, and
thus protect The hay.
The use of salt in hay mows is now, we
believe, very property dispensed with
We can remember when it WAS thCuoht
quite tces>ary TO put on four qllrts of
salt to the load of rather green hay. Its
tendency was. we believe, RI her to retain
and attract moisture than to hasten the
curing.
We question whether the majority OF
farmers are cutting their grass rs early a>
a few years AGO. Ave we correct in the
idea, and are the conclusions MS to the time
when grass is most valuable to be cur
settled now, and when is the time?

TURNIPS. There is no crop that the
farmer puts in he ground that pays him
better than the turnip. We are aware
dat with some persons it is 10 liked npun
Is Of ltIle account hut it has never re-
cciveh the consideration to which 1t is
really entitled; and those who turn W.
heir noses at 1t are not genuine farmers.
1t is corp, moreover, that is put in at Il
ime when the hurrying work of the sea-
son is over; when it occupies ground that
has already been used for something else
rhe cultivation also, say of from one to
two acres of turnips, involves compare
uvelv little labor, The crop. too, is
hrl vested IN November, when there is
almost no other labor on the farm to in
ertrre with it. As to the variety of seed

VALUE OF ORCHARD GRAss.-.The

ne success that attended its cultivation in
Virginia where it had been brought from
England. in colonial times, caused it to be-
returned to the mother country about
l764. as orchard grass, and of great value :;
thus an interest was created in England
in one of their own grasses, which had MOI
heretofore been highly valued Since or
rhrrd grass was thus introduced into
England, its culture largely increased,

We need not be unkind to past ages.
Do you think that we, in the nineteenth
