THE TRADE DoLLAR.-Represe ntative Bland had
an interview with Mr. Bvrchard, director Of the
mint yesterday. in regard to the number trade
dollars now in circulation. The latter EXPRESSED
the opinion that between five and six millions OF
the coins were out and in the hands Of tradesnen
and the people generally instead of being in the
possession OF spectators. The remainder OF the
35.tG) 900 originally coined are thought to have
been expofted Or relneited. Mr. Rani says it is
questionable whether the government. having Is
sued the trade dollars with the stamp Of the gov

dollar.

The Mechanical Efforts OF Roots.

The true mechanical efforts OF
roots are exerted in their struggle tor
progress through the soil, and examples
for illustration are many. To under
stand the. magnitude of their work, we
must bear in mind that each root dis
places an amount of soil equal to its
own, bulk. Take for instance a crop OF
mangel wurzels. and imagine what an
upheaval must have been produced in
the sol by the growth of IFS enormous
mass. The whole surface of the field is
raised and its particles loosened.
In practical questions of the farm,
this power is of value. Those who
give turnips and mangels place in
their system of rotation, do so ostensi-
bly, for their feeding value. but beyond
this their mechanical effect is also OF
much Importance,
The most striking results of the me-
chanical power Of roots are seen when
they come in contact with the most re-
sisting obstacles. They have been UNI
earthed from compact gravelly soil,
where the struggle for room had been SO
fierce that they became distorted out Of
all natural shape. 1t is not unusual to
find trees growing in the clefts Of lodges
showing Enthusiastically that the expan-
sion of the roots has forced the rock
apart. A case is cited, on good
authority, of root of the sugar maple
that had pushed its way under rock
weighing nearly two tons, and by its
enlargement lifted it entirely from its
bed. Trees have been observed grow
ing on the bare rock, resting upon their
roots which ran out into the soil ON
either side. and yet these roots, support
ing the enormous weight of the tree,
formed each year new growth on their
underside, and lifted the tree by the
space of its thickness until seven inches
of wood had been formed under the
severe pressure. w. Il. Stone, in

Frozen Grass.

Frozen grass is not wholesome food.
The hoar frost upon it chills the stom-
ach and causes indigestion. II is not
that the grass has been frozen, but its
frozen condition, which is Injurious,
and the injury arises from the chilling
of tue stomach and the blood. The
blood is soon chilled. One may dis
cover this by pouring ice-cold water up
on his wrists when heated. in the hot
summer weather, when he will very
soon feel the cool current flowing
through his whole badly. This sudden
cooling may be- easily ovegdone and
produce serious mischief, driving the
blood % the bra and causing fatal
apop exy, or ut least alarm ny giddi-
ness and pr ssure. In the COWS ON
ach the cold from fro zen food or lee
cold wafer produces the same effect
The blood is driven from the stomach,
digestion is arrested in consequence,
and the animal may have an attack Of
apoplexy which is commonly known AZ
s.staggers. But although this may not
b ppen. the digestive function is para
lyz "a and their is danger of impaction
known as dry murrain. One can not
lie too careful in avoiding this danger
by keeping the COWS in until the frost
has disappeared and the grass has been
warmed BY the sum. The same care
should DO observed with sheep and
horses, and especially colts. which are
quits easily injured in this way.--M Y.
