THE LANGUAGE or flowers" A name
what's ia a name? a rose by any other name
would smell as sweet" When Shakespeare
made use of that expression he had no idea
that tuberose would ever set the Secretary
Of States Office by the ears. But such was
the case yesterday. There are several hand.
some young clerks in the office, and sigce the
beginning Of leap year they have been beset
by all the cunning wiles known to the good
looking girls of this city Yesterday when
Well, Fargo & Co.'S wagon drove up and de-
liyered to one Of the bashful clerks an i'm
mense bouquet OF tuberoses, it broke them
all up They examined Johnson's Dictionary
( fer the language of flowers, to ascertain what
sentiment the fair donor wished TO express,
( but johnson did not furnish the desired in

I the State Library to find the language of

IN THE HAY FIELD.

Every year we read OF the importance OF
cutting hay early in the season. and
yet each recurring year we see a large
amount OF grass standing uncut until fully
ripe. Experience and experiments have
both proved beyond a doubt tina grass or
clover should be cut at about the time when
it is in full bloom. Ii is then sweet, digest
ible and nutritious. If allowed to stand
longer the saccnarine juices begin to disap-
pear, and it commences to turn to an indi-
gestible woody fibre. 1t may be necessary
sometimes to 60 to ii little extra expense in
order to get the hay into the barn al just
the proper time, but this additional expense
will he far less than the loss on the hay if
allowed to stand and ripen. The profit on
the cows next winter depends largely on
the condition in which the hay reaches the
barn.
Even greater care should be taken with
the clover than with the grass, as it changes
more quickly 1t should be cut early in
the season, mown when there is no dew OH
it. cured in the cock, and the leaves can
then be taken to the barn instead of being
shaken off the stalks and lett in the field.

than that which is mown the next morning

that ''making hay while the sun shines
means that we must work as long as we can
see.
1t is an excellent time while moving and
gathering the hay from the different fields
to take note of needed improvements-ot
pieces that should be broken, top-dressed,
dtched, &c. The bushes along the fences,
and the stones scattered over the field ap-
pear much more prominent now than at
any other season OF the year. All these
things should be noticed, and it is well tc

drive them from our head before the proper
time tor attending to them may arrive

Some of the most hurttul weeds may have
been sown with the grass seed. With &

ROOT CROPS.

Horses. cattle. sheep and swine all eat
roots with relish in winter and early spring,
and in connection with dry hay are most
nutritious and digestible. In growing such
crops. the Liue Stock Journal points out the
mistake often made in the ambition to OBJ
tain roots OF large size and extra quality
per acre. We ought rather to strive for
those OF medium size and best quality tor
one bushel of these may contain more nutri-
ment than two or even three bushels OF
overgrown specimens; and, furthermore,
greatly lessen the labor OF digging. storing
and feeding. We have seen roots so large
as to be little better than wooden. ANIMALS
grv, and when they did SO they were more
or less indigestibe, and afforded little nutri.
ment.
Sugar beets, according to Sir J. B Lawes
are 80 per cent. more nutritious than man
gold-wurtzels, and ought to be cultivated
most; but the latter produce the greater
quantity per acre. keep better during the
winter, and will keep considerable later in
the spring, or even summer, in cold eli
mate. Carrots are superior to these, and
most excellent tor horses. There is nothing
better for dairy cows than parsnips, and
the advantage of cultivating them is that
they can be left in the ground all winter, to
be dug up in the spring.
Roots are very beneficial to horses and
and sheep in moderate quantity, and es
pecially in a larger amount to cattle ant
swine. They soften hay in the stomach anC
render it almost like grass, and quite as di
! gestible and nutritious. ...

ONE EGG FOR TEN PERSONS.

However strange this may seem II IS neV-
rrtheltSs true. A gentleman, named Dwight
Whiing. residing in the neighborhood of
Anaheim. CALIFORNIA, as we learn from the
Gazette OF that place, in entertaining din
ner party of ten persons, some time ago,
after counting the number of his guests,
and finding them to be ten in number, said,
Il guess one egg will be enough for the
party" and disappeared from the house.
Presently he came back with the egg, and
the surprise of the guests was dissipated
when they saw it was an ostrich's egg he
meant. Well, the egg was put on to
boil, and after cooking vigorously for one
hour, though two hours the host said would
improve it, it was brought upon the table.
The shell wss broken, and the three pound
yolk was laid upon plate, and object OF
great interest from its size and novelty.
Beyond this there was nothing peculiar
about it; the white portion of it had the
blush tinge of the duck egg, and the yolk
was the usual color. 1t also tasted like the
duck, with no flavor peculiar to itself. But
its size may be imagined when it is stated
that it takes twenty-eight hens eggs to
equal it in weight, and the single egg was
enough for the entire company and to spare;
besides it was the unanimous opinion that
it was good. 1t is not probable, however,
that ostrich eggs will become very popular,
except where the family is large enough to
deyour one at meal, as in the case of a
hens egg, the yolk will lose its flavor by
saving tor a second or third meal.

OIL FOR WAGON WHEELS.

A practical man says: II have wagon,
OF which, six years ago, the telloes Shrank

good coat OF hot oil, and every year since it
has had coat of oil or paint, sometimes
both The tires are tight yet. and they
have not been set Tor eight or nine years.
Many farmers think that, as soon as wagon
teloes begin to shrink, they must 90 at
once to blacksmith shop and get the tire
set. Instead of doing that which is often a
damage to the wheels, causing them to dish)
if they will get some lnseed oil, and heat it
boiling hot, and give the felloes all the oil
they can take, it will fill them up to their
usual SIZE, and tighten to keep them from
shrinking, and also to keep oul the water.
If you do not wish to go to the trouble of
mixing paint, you can heat the oil, and tie
a rag to stick, and swab them over AS long
as they will take oil. A brush is more coll-
venient to use; but swab will answer il
you do not wish to buy brush. 1t is quite
a saving of time and money to look after the
woodwork of farm machinery. Alternate

wood soon to decay, and lose its strength,

KEEP the poultry quarters clean and half
the battle against disease is won. Many
costly tewl houses fail to keep healthy their
inmates, principally because of the absence
of thorough ventilation. More eggs for the
table and less pork and beefsteak is good
rule for the hot weather. There is not much
waste matter about eggs. Instead of fenc-
ing in your garden fence in your hens.
Every enlightened farmer needs hen yard,
and the best one 10 and orchard of liberal
size. Green food of some kind is absolute
ly essential. Without this the fowls will
not do well. Better not try to raise chick
ems at all than to neglect them; they can
not be cared for too we'll, and nothing can
or will repay your care any better. 1t is
best to make your mating wisely aid know
ingly in the beginning; therefore buy a
standard and mate your fowls properly. In
selecting eggs for setting use only those
that are OF fair size and well formed. They
should be from strong, vigorous hens, and
from yards that have few hens with the
male. Cold rains are injurious to fowls. A
few hours under rain, sleet or snow, viii
put them back days and sometimes week:
from laying, besides the dagger of getting
cold or becoming roupy.-Er.
