Agricultural Notes.

The rye ground that is cleared by
this time may be prepared Immediately,
and planted to corn fodder. Hunga-
rian grass may follow the rye, and be
cut off in time for sowing rye in au-
tumn.
Timothy more than any other grass
should be cut in full bloom if allowed
to ripen seed, the quality Of the hay is
inferior. If the hay is begun early
enough, there may not be that rush
and hurry so often seen upon the farm.
Buckwheat may be sown in June, and
make profitable crop, especially upon
new ground. 1t greatly helps to loosen
up and mellow the soil. The kind
known as Silver Hull is the superior va.
ricty; the yield is said to be larger and
the flour better than that of the COM
mon sort.
Nothing 8 better in the hay field
than the old-tashioned farmers drink,
"switchell." This consists of molasses
and water, with enough vinegar to give
a pleasant sharpness some ginger is
usually added. This satisfies thirst and
is always very welcome to the hands,
who appreciate any such provision for
comfort.
Cows are now in the full flow of mix
and as June butter is highly priz,d
for winter use, great care should be ia
ken with all the dairy operations.
Among the essentials are pure water,
good food for the cows, and clean man
agement of the milk and cream in every
process, from the time of drawing the
milk from the udder until the butter is
packed.
Pigs that are to be ready for the ear
ly market will require a generous feed
ing from the start. The attention that
they receive now will determine very
much the profits of the piggery. A run
to grass, or, better still, clover, will do
them much good, but good supply of
bran and meal slops must not be forgot
ten. The frame of the animal is built
now, to be filled up later in the season.
Swedish turnips may be sown this
month, and should be in drills thirty
inches apart. 1t is best to put in plen-
ty Of seed, to insure a uniform growth
it is easy to thin them out. Two
pounds of seed per acre is about the
right amount. 1t is essential that the
seed have rich and mellow bed to
start in. When the second leaf appears
thin the plants to twelve to fifteen inch
es in the row.

Six Times Around the World
From the Hartford Post. ]

From the Hartford Post.
An interesting statement is made by
the Postmaster-General concerning pos
tai cards. Under the contract ending
June 80, 1881, the number will be
about 100000, 900. Under the new
contract, which will expire June 80,
1885, the estimated number will be
1000, 600, 900. This latter number is
50 vast that few persons have an ade.
quate conception Of it. Some idea Of
the quantity of the cards to be thus fur
nished may be formed by the statement
that it would require three men over
sixty years to count them singly, york
ing ten hours every day in the year
and counting at the rate of fifty min
ute or if the 1000, 100000 card
cards could be placed end to end they
would extend a distance of over 1854,
600 miles, or more than six times tn,
circumference Of the earth.

PLUMPNEss A REQUISITE.
Why Massachusetts Women
Are not Popular With
Marrying Men.
From the Chicago Tribune.]

From the Chicago Tribune.
Instead of saying that there is an ex-
cess of 80, 900 women in Massachusetts,
we shall be able to reason more clearly
if we simply say that there are 10000
unmarried women in that interesting
State. If the facts arc stated in this
way we at once see that, instead of
troubling ourselves about over-produc-
ton, we should merely ask, why are
these women unmarried? The answer
is not difficult to find These women
are unmarried because they are of a pat
tern which has of late years gone out Of
fashion. About the same time that the
gray trousers Of England drove out the
black broadcloth trousers, which, in
connection with the black satin waist
coat and black dress. coat, formally con-
stituted the walking costume of the
American citizen, there was introduced
the plump English style of girl. The
latter soon became enormously popular,
and the bony and specialized maidens of
Massachusetts, became drug in the
market. 1t was still generally conceded
that the Massachusetts girl knew more
about Emerson's philosophy and Al
colts Orphic utterances than did her
plumper rival, but the merits of the
former were not longer able to awaken
any enthusiasm. The Boston poetical
young man no longer wrote sonnets ex-
pressing the emotious of his heart on
hearing the bones of his beloved rattle
as she ran to greet him at the gate, and
the Boston youth of fashion no longer
at public dinners the once ia
miliar toast, Beauty and Bones" in
honor of the spare sex. In fact, spare
and angular girls went entirely out of
fashion, and Massachusetts men went
outside the boundaries of New England
when they sought for wives.

Have a Purpose.

Carlyle once asked an Edinburg stu
dent what he was studying for. The
youth replied that he had not quite
made up his mind. In moment there
was sudden flash of the old Scotch
mans eye, sudden pulling down ofthe
shadgy eyebrows, and the stern face
grew sterner as he said: "The man
without purpose in life is like ship
without rudder; a waif, u mere moth
ing, no man. Have a purpose in life,
if it is only to kill and sell oxen well ;
but have a purpose; and having it,
throw such strength Of mind and mus
Gle into your work as God has given
you"
Amy engagement that is innocent is
better than none, as the writing Of a
book, the building of a house, the laying
out of a garden, the digging Of fish
pond, even the raising Of q cucumber or
tulip. -Paley.

Jokes Of the Last Century.

in revolutionary days, contained these

there was an element of fun in life even
