Touch on His Substitute.

A Hartford clergyman tells this
anecdote: Early in life, while occupy
ing another charge. he invited clergy
man whom the unregenerate would call
conceited and dull to preach in his
pulpit. During the sermon our Hart
ford preacher dozed away in the sweet
old way until he was suddenly called
on to conclude the service with prayer.
Accustomed to regard himself as the
humblest of his Creators instruments,
and forgetting that he had not deliv-
cred the sermon, he began with; I'VE

feeble effort that has been addressed Ia

Judge Cooley OF the interstate com

constitutional convention at Bismarck,
North Dakota, told the delegates some
homely truths concerning the work OF
constitution building. He gave them
the advice not to legislate too much in
the constitution 20 as to prevent leg
islatures in the future from meeting
the evils that they may be called up
on 70 correct. In the very nature OF
things something must be left for them
to take care of and to put proper re-
strainls upon. Somebody has got to
be trusted in the future, and the at
tempt to cover every exigency that
may possibly arise is simply rmpossi-
bic and impracticable. Judge Cooley
does not believe In tying the hands OF
the people by iron-clad laws, but feel.

future will be able to meet the diff.
culties OF legislation fully az we'll il

We may, with very little inquietude.
see man persist in project which
he has found to be impracticable- live
in an inconvenient house because il
was contrived by himself, or wear a
coat of particular cut in hopes by
perseverance to bring it into fashion.
These are indeed follies; but they are

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

The Products Retained on the Farm.
The value OF crop does not depend
entirely on the market price, but
partly upon tho uses To which the crop
is applied. A corn crop, il sent 10 mar
ket, may bring but little more than the
cost of its production; but it is equiva-
lent to certain amount of raw mater
ial, which can be converted into some
other product more in demand, such as
beef, mutton, milk. pork or poultry.
Nor can the real value OF the crop be
estimated by the amount received for
the meats sold. as large portion Is
left over in the shape OF manure.
Careful experiments have been made
In order 10 determine the amount OF
potash, nitrogen and phosphoric acid
left in the manure after the food has
passed through the bodies of animals,
but no certain results can be Obtained
owing to the differences in the diges-
tive capacity of animals, though in
trials of two weeks durat ton. where
both green fodder and grain have been
fed, it was found that % per cent. of
all the nitrogen, 80 per cent. of all the
DIOSDllOllC dNlh anu VI Dtl NCiib vi oli
the potash remained in the manure.
This shows that the food is only par
italy digested and assimilated, and
that the value OF the crop must be con-
sidered not only in regard TO its mar
ket price and its product but also to
its future use in providing second
crop Where concentrated foods, such
as linseed and cottonsccd meals, are
used the value of the manure is still
greater, and If the prices obtained for
meat and milk be no greater than the
cost of food and labor the manure
alone will give a large profit, rs from
% TO 40 per cent. of the food used is
retained on the farm in the manure,
and the larger the proportion or nitro
gen in the food Gas with linseed mcal)
the greater the value y! the manure
in proportion TO its weight. III the
total value Of ton Of linseed meal be
estimated at 500, the feeding value
may be stated at $50, and the manu-
rial value S2S, but corn gives q
feeding value of S23 out OF n total of
$50, leaving 81 TO be returned in tho
manure. If the manure be not re-
tanned on the farm, but sold at its real
value, il would, therefore. be a, much
n product OF food as meat or milk, but
it is more economical TO retain il, for
the reason that its removal adds 10 its
cost. Many cattle foods are really
cheaper than their manurial value,
and may be applied directly to the
land but this depends upon the quail
ity of the soil and its deficiency in any
particular element The value OF the
manure TO the land depends upon its
preponderance of some special ele
ment Potash manures are valuable
on heterogeneous soils. but possess little
value on soils Astounding in potash,
and all these matters are TO be consid =
cred in the final estimates.

EavIy Cut Glover.

Glover will soon be ready TO cut.
The proper time for cutting is now n
live question. Some say cut it when
it first comes into boom; and prac-
tice lets one half OF the heads get dead
ripe. All aim to get it at the right
few begin cutting it early enough to
avoid putting in lot of dead ripe
clover at the last end. Especially if ii
comes on wet, the clover must stand
until fair weather, and often by this
time it is well seeded.
What says chemistry about the
proper time to cut clover? The re-
suits of analysis do not seem 10 favor
any of the periods when clover is
usually cut. The tables give the nu-
tritive ratio Of clover in full bloom
the time perhaps most generally
agreed upon-as one part OF nitroge-
nous material to 81 of carbonaceous
! This is a very good ratio for ordin-
airy feeding purposes, but clover cut
at this time does not appear to be at
its best When cut before blossoming
the feeding ratio is given as one OF
heterogeneous to 3.S Of carbonaceous ma
terial. This is pretty strong meat.
and will admit of corn meal, corn
stalks, or straw, as part Of a ration
and still be up TO the standard. ClO-
yer cut before blossom has about one
| third larger proportion OF muscle and
cheese making material than that cut
in full blossom; and usually the more
heterogeneous foods are counted the
more valuable There is no trouble in
getting the carbonaccous, but care
must be taken that they are in a di-
gestible form. Coarse fibre is not;
yet this is what we get in overripe
fodder.
Another point in favor OF the Glove 4
cut before blossom, and just about Tn o
time it is ready TO begin TO open, is
that ii is more easily digested. There
is not so much bulk, but larger pro-
portion OF the whole is digested. This,
OF course, makes 1t more nutritious,
and better for producing milk or beef.
Letting clover stand until il is more
mature, simply increases the amount Of
carbonaceous fibre. but the increase is
offset by loss OF digestbilitv. We sus-
pect that very few OF the fodder plants
and grasses, except corn, are cut ana
cured at as early a period OF their de-
velopment ms they should be.-Practi

PErRIFIED BONES IN A CAVE.
Wonderful Discovery of Prehistoric
Existence Revealed by Mine Blast.

WOnQer1uI discovery OF PREHISTORIC
Existence Revealed by Mine Blast.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
DENVER, Aug IA most remarkable
story has reached here from Aspen, Col.
regarding an unexpected discovery in one
of the principal mines in the Aspen noun
tain. Last Thursday night the night shift
in the Minnie mine-Donnelly, Mack, Tay-
lor and Gilfillan-put in two thirty-inch
holes in the breast of a 500 foot level, and
fired the blast just before leaving for the
surface On returning to the mine it was
found that the two shots had broken into a
cave, the extent of which they proceeded to
explore.
Going in few feet they found the walls
covered with crystallizad lime and lead that
glistened like diamonds. Here and there
little staactiteS hung from the ceiling. The
lime formation resembled lace and frieZe
work of wondrous beauty The cave had
descent of about 90, and they found rooms
and chambers grand beyond description.
They had entered about 200 feet when they
found a flint ak. A little farther was a
pool of fresh water and strong current OF
fresh air was felt. Farther on a chamber
was discovered covered with a brownish
muck that was sticky.
Gilfllan, who was in the lead, suddenly
stopped and said There sits boy.n Sure
enough there sat human form. The head
was resting on the knees and the arms were
drawn around the legs, Indian fashion. A
stone bowl and ak were found beside the
figure The body was well preserved, but
in trying to lift it one arm broke off it,
Other bodies in different attitudes were
found in the chamber, but when disturbed
they crumbled. One stone man was brought
out with the loss of arms and fse5. The
discovery has caused great excitement in
Aspen, as the bodies do not seem to be those
