Rapidly of Thought in Dreaming.

A very remarkable circumstance, on
an important point of analogy. is to be
found in the extreme rapidity with
which the mental operations are per-
formed or rather with which the ma
terial changes on which the iCeas de-
pend are excited, in the hemisphericsI
ganglia. 1t would appear if a
whole series of acts, that would really
occupy long lapse of time, pass IDEAL
ly through the mind at one instant.
We have in dreams no true perception
of the lapse Of time-a strange prop.
erty Of mind; for, if such be also its
property when entered into the eternal
disembodied state, time will appear to
us eternity. The relations of space as
we'll as of time are also annihilated;
so that, while almost an eternity is
compressed into a moment, infinite
space is traversed more swiftly than
real thought. There are numerous H.
lustrations of this principle on record.

listed as soldier Joined his regiment.
deserted, was apprehended. carried
back, tried, condemned to be shot, and
at last led ont for execution. After
all the usual preparations, gun was
fired; he awoke with the report, and
found that a noise in the adjoining
room had at the same moment produc
ed the dream and awakened him
Another gentlemen dreamed that he
crossed the Atlantic, and spent fort,
night in Europe. In embarking, on
his return. he fell into the sea, and,
awakening in the fright, found that
he had not been asleep ten minutes.

Agriculture Value of Fertilizers,

The agricultural value of fertili-
ger is measured by the crop it will
produce. and must therefore vary with
the conditions under which it is plac-
ed. The effect of fertilizer depends
largely upon the kind of crops, char
acter of soil, the weather, tillage, and
many other varying circumstances, so
that the crop producing power of any
special manure can only be determin-
ed in a general manner, and this must
be upon larger number of trials in
various places, extending over several
years. All who use fertilizers should dis
tinguish between the two values pointed
out. In the market the three most i'm
portant ingredients of plant food have
tablished values, which vary but lit
tie from year to year. These substan-
ces may be worth more or less than
the market price to the farmer as a
means of producing larger crops.
Until all the varying conditions of
soil, weather, etc., are reduced to a
certainty, no one can foretell the exact
agricultural value of any commercial
fertilizer. The farmer must count the
cost in dollars and cents, estimate the
probabilities founded on experience,
and then try and know.--American
AgricultMrist for July.

Cutting Grass for Hay.

1t was once saying among farmers
and may be SO still to some extent
that grass ought to be cut as close as
possible to the ground, for it was sc
much thicker at the bottom, that an
inch there was worth two or more at
the top. This may be true Or not, &C.
cording to circumstances, and the kind
aud quality Of the grass to be cut. II
it be the natural growth on the broad
meadows of river bottoms, or a very
fine stalked variety, like June grass.
Or the short growing white clover, then
an inch at the base may be worth two
at the top. If it is timothy, orchard,
or any other coarse-stalked grass, OF
red clover, then two or four inches at
the bottom may not be worth one at
the top, especially if left standing un-
til passed poisoning and the seed be-
gins to form.
Coarse, rank grasses are usually d.
vested Of leaves near the ground when
attaining their full growth; and If
they are cut close, the stubs are left so
short as to be no protection against
the hot summer sun. If dry weather
follows fora few weeks subsequently,
it will greatly injure the grass, and
sometimes kill it. When protection
is left by not cutting too close, fair
second growth is ensured, which, if
not sufficient by autumn, for rowen or
pasture, it will be at least good pro-
lection for the roots during winter,
and give an earlier start in spring and
better crop in haying time.
The invention of moving machines
has given the farmers a great advan-
tage in harvesting their grass, for the
bars and cutting knives can be so set
as to cut high or low as desired. There
is conside rable difference Of opinion
still existing among farmers as to the
best time for cutting their grass for
hay. Some contend, if for mich cows
it should be cut before the grass be.
gins to blossom, if for other kinds OF
stock, at the time of Towering, while
some contend that for horses the seed
should be nearly ripe. In order to
settle this point satisfactorily, it would
be we'll for the Agricultural Colleges
to extend their careful experiments
with the various grasses and clover
cut at three or four different stages oil
growth.

The Sheep Scab.

Scab in sheep is one Of the most
troublesome diseases with which the
shepherd has to contend. The cause
of the disease is minute insect, Aca-
ris sca6iei, which burrows under the
epidermis, producing irritation of the
skin. Small watery blisters soon form
which finally become dry and encrust.
ed, forming the scab proper. These
being produced in various parts of the
body, cause the wool to become matted
and the sheep, to relieve the itching
or irritation. rub against fences, posts,
ETC., and tear their wool into shreds,
giving them wretched appearance
The disease is rapidly spread in flock
where healthy sheep come in contact
with these fences, posts, etc., for the
eggs of the mite, or the mite itself,
may be readily transferred from the
sheep to the fence and from the fence
to the sheep again. Hence it will not
be necessary to caution against allow
ing healthy sheep to be in the same
pen or field with the scabby ones. The
only method of Kidding the diseased
sheep of the scab is, to dip them into
liquid which will penetrate and sof-
ten the scabby portions, and even then
it is often necessary to rub these pla-
ces with something rough, to open the
scabs, and let the liquid take effect
