A man who had not been long in this
country was employed as domestic in
family. and upon one occasion he WAS
sent to the express Office to obtain

Business is dull, notes must be met,

CURING GLOVER HAY.


An Old Farmers Direction for Cutting and
Curing Clover.
First brush down or roll down the
Stubble as soon as you can get on the
ground in spring without tramping up
the surface with team for the first crop.
Commence cutting when the first half
of the heads are in full bloom and be-
fore any begin to turn brown, and as
we have most of our heavy rains and
storms about the time of new moon. try
to commence your cutting when there
is fair prospect for fair weather. Wait
till dew is off and cut till noon Rake
what is wilted and partially dry into
small w!nrowS, and cock in small cocks
what you can before dew falls, by pitch
ing into cocks snug and compact; don't
roll it, In morning-or if you wait a
day, will be the better-open out in
small forkfuls, to dry out, and when
dry enough to rattle, haul in, but be
sure to have it dry before hauling.
Now every forkful away as you dump
it from the load with as little tramping
as possible; keep the NOW level. Ii
will come out of the NOW enough easier
in winter, or when rehandled, to paw
the extra work of moving away care
fully.
If you follow these directions your
hay will be bright with red blossoms
when fed, and will be nutritious. Cat
tie, sheep and horses will eat itup clean
and thrive as on green pasture. If you
should be so unfortunate as to have hay
damaged by wet, get it dry as soon as
possible. Now it between bright lay
ers of equal bulk of well-cured hay,
and you won't know the difference
when feeding. The dust in hay is caus-
ed by heat in NOV, which produces
fungi injurious to the man who inhales
1t and the animal compelled to eat it. The
mould on wheat straw, or fungi, when
inhaled fastcns to the lungs and causes
measels. When compelled to haul in
hay green or damp, have frequently
spread good bright straw few inches
thick between loads. Stock will eat
the straw readily and it will draw the
moisture from the hay. But never salt
hay of any kind unless it is well cured
and thoroughly dry; on such hay |
think salt beneficial
have frequently used firc-slackcd
lime, say from four quarts to peck, on
a ton of damp hay when put in NOW,
Mammoth clover when cut and cured in
this way makes better hay and twice as
much of it as the small kinds. Stock
will eat stems and all clean ofthe Mann
moth, when they will only eat the heads
and leaves of the small.-Cor Ohio

STORM SIGNALS.
New Cautlonary Indications to Show the
Direction and Velocity of Wind

New Cautionary Indications to Show the
Direction and Velocity of Wind.
The signal officers at Chicago and
other stations in the West have re-
ceived instructions from the Chief OF
the United States Signal Office at
Washington relative to general orders,
by which a new set of wind-direction
and velocity signals has taken effect.
The following reasons are given for
the change:
at is a duty each officer and en-
ploye owes to himself and to the SER
vice to exercise the utmost care and
diligence in executing this very i'm
portant charge, more especially on ac-
count of the grave responsibility in
volved in advising as to the movements
of shipping of very great value. AL
though steady progress has attended
this service in announcing the ap-
proach of wind-storms since it was
first attempted in 1872, yet there is
room for important improvements, and
it is believed that further progress
can be made at this office by utilizing
the many recent discoveries in meteor
Ology, assisted by the observers exer-
cising the utmost care in making and
forwarding their observations and in
promptly and correctly publishing by
signal or otherwise the storm warning
received.
warnings of the approach of wind
storms will be published by the display
of flags by day and lanterns by night
in connection with the bulletins posted
and reports furnished to newspapers,
mariners and others interested"
The signals to be used consist of four
flags and of two lights at night. The
cautionary signal, which signifies that
the wind will attain velocity of
thirty-five miles an hour within one
hundred miles of the point of display,
is red flag with black square in the
center. A flag with one white and one
black stripe running horizontally is
the direction flag, and is displayed at
the same time with the cautionary sig
nal to indicate the direction from
which the wind is expected. When
the direction flag with the black stripe
over the white is displayed above the
cautionary flag the wind is expected
from the northeast; when below the
wind will be from the northwest.
When the direction flag has the white
stripe above the black and is hoisted
above the cautionary signal the wind
will be from the southeast, and when
below from the southwest. A red
light at night at night represents the
cautionary signal. There is no night
signal for the wind direction. The on
shore wind signal is flag divided into
four squares, two black and two white,
and is hoisted only on the lakes when
a wind on the water of twenty to
twenty-five miles is expected to blow
on shore-that is, wind dangerous to
small vessels, barges and tows. A
white light represents the on-shore
signal at night Chicago Journal.

insufficient Food, Over-work and Over
Eating Affects Both Al Ike.
If farmers and stock-ralsers would al.
ways bear in mind that all life among
the animal creation is about the same,
and suffers from the same causes and
ailments, it would enable them to guard
against much sickness among domestic
animals, and consequently to save them
selves from much trouble, annoyance
and loss. This would, of course, re-
quire thought and judgment-a sort of
providential foresight to guard against
exposures and furnish preventives, while
it is lamentable fact that most farmers
pay very little attention TO their own
comfort and health, or to the comfort
and health Of those around and asso-
ciated with them, But it is nevertheless
true that sudden changes of tcmpera-
ture, insufficient food, over-work, over
eating, ETC., affect man and beast alike
Both need shelter and protection from
the inclemency of the weather, proper
food and drink in proper pro-
portions, oleanly surroundings, pure
air and all the necossaries demanded
by nature in order to promote the great
est degree of health and enjoyment Of
life. 1t is false idea that animals do
not suffer because they do not complain.
They do suffer the same as man does,
but cnly when in extreme suffering do
they give outward manifestation. Nd
