:WAKI\(. MAT. MB. EDITOR.— Clover HAY cut at the pe riod ot raiorweence, and thoroughly made, has been found by repeated experiments, to lose about four-fifths of its weight in "ma- king. When the flower has fallen, and the stalks have lost some of their moisture, the loss in drying is three-quarters of the weight of the crop when cut; probably a fair aver age where the grass is in the state of ad- ■ vancement last indicated, and the labor of making is performed with a free exposure to the sun and air, one hundred pounds will be reduced to twenty-two. Clover, in all its varieties, is a valuable product, and one of the best grasses for hay, if mixed with the latter kinds, we have for cattle. It is sapid, highly nutritive in its properties, and agrees well with all descriptions of animals. Its value, however, for feeding purposes, de pends, in an eminent degree.upon the meth od of curing it Formerly it was the practice to mow it in the morning, and after repeat ed turnings and "shaking," to put it in oock. The next day it was open, turned two or three times, pitched into bunches, and finally, after the foliage and seeds had been detached by the rough hand ling to which it was thought uecessary to subject it, conveyed to the mows. The loss attending this method was soon found to be a serious abstraction from the profit of the crop, while the expense of "making," to say nothing of the mowing, was scarcely re paid by what remained. Now, clover is cut as soon as the dew is off, allowed to remain in the sward undis turbed by the fork or rake till toward night, when if the weather is clear or Dot, it is care fully tamed, in order that a new surface may be exposed to the night dews, and the next afternoon pitched into "grass cocks," each weighing abouteighty pounds, in which condition it is suffered to remain until suffi ciently dry to go into mow. Hay made in this way, possesses the deep, rich green of the natural plant before being cut, and that sweet aromatic odor so grateful to even person capable of "appreciating sweet smells." We have seen the clover heads as bright in mid winter, in hay made in this manner, as they were the moment they fell before the sweep of the mower's scythe, and for aught we could perceive to the con trary, as fragrant. AM kinds of grass made in this way. is unquestionably much improved in quality ; it also loses less by many pounds in a hun dred, while the expense is diminished nearly or quite one-fifth. As hay made in "grass cock is necessarily required to remain more dayt in the field than where the old plan of sun-drying is practiced, the provision of a number of li caps" should be attended to, before commencing. These are cheap, and are made of the sine of ordinary bed-sheets, say two yards square, commonly of cheapest . muslin. They are provided with loops at the corners through which, when the caps aie placed in position, long pins are insert ed, extending upward into the hay to pre vent their displacement by the wind. They are cheap, and with will last an age. Here in New England and in many parts of New York they are used extensively and much liked. p. p. w. Lynch.field, Conn. GermanUnm Telegraph. ' TB ASHES. Squashes do best on new land. All the summer varieties have a hard shell when matured. The crook-necks, and the white and yellow summer scalloped, are the usual varieties grown. Different varieties should be planted far apart, as they mix very easily. Two or three plante are enough for a hill. The best protection from the bug is the box, covered with gauze or glass. Squashes oc cupy a great deal of ground when suffered to run and have their own, way. When a economise, a trellis for them to run upon is recommended, and is said to operate very successfully. Stakes or small posts are set up two feet apart each way and the seed planted in the center. When the vines be gin to run they are trained upon slats nailed to the posts, and by throwing boards across the slate the fruit is supported, and will ri pen much earlier than when allowed to lie on the ground half covered with leaves.— Squashes trained in this way can be made to occupy but little space, and are said to bear as profusely as when the vines run over the ground. To those who have but little room the plan is well worth trying. For late vari eties, the best are the Hubbard, Boston Marrow, Acorn, and vegetable Marrow.— The Valparaiso is a tolerably fair variety when the season is just right. Immense squashes, sometimes grown, are rather for the sight than the table. They are coarse meated, and watery, compared with the lit tle nurley Hubbard, which is mealy and as delicately flavored as the sweet potato. As squashes are great runners, they do better with their ends clipped off. — Utica Herald. TRASSPIAKTI m It will soon be time to transplant cabbage, tomato, and tobacco plants. This is often carelessly done, and great losses are sustain ed in consequence. A few hours exposure of the plants to the sun and wind will result in the loss of some days' growth, at least, if it does not cause the entire loss of the plants. These plants should not be lifted from the bed if it can be helped, till the ground and the holes are prepared to receive them. It is a capita] plan, if the soil is not already very moist from rain, to water them thor oughly in the bed an hour or two before lift ing- It will cause a greater amount of soil to adhere to the roots. "Take them up tenderly, lift them with care/' is the rule to be observed here, as in other things. "No pains, no gains," is the mot to. Select a rainy or damp lay, if possible. If not, just before sunset is better than the morning. We like to have a pretty dry soil to set them in, but we would have a sup- ply of water to pour into the hole after it is made, and before it is soaked away sit in the plant and fill it with dry soil This is wet by the water, and the plant is surrounded by moisture, and yet the surface is loose and open, and not packed too close, or baked around the plant. A little extra pains will pay well. Try it and see.— Ohio Farmer. fpHK BARGAIN STORE STILL AHEAD 1 6. R. A W.

The property of the above named company, which is about being organised under the mining laws of Pennsylvania, consists of the following valuable territory, to wit: 1. A lease of one-haif acre, known as "No. 3," on the Tenney and Storrow purchase, on Cherry Run, Venango county, Pa., just above the celebra ted "Keed" well and within a stone's throw of a well just struck, flowing at present 106 barrels pei day. A new derrick erected upon tbe lot. One half the oil to the company. 2. A lease of one half acre, in close proximity to the above, known as "No. 6," on the Tenney and Storrow purchase on Cherry Run. New derrick erected upon the lot. One half the oil to the com pany. v 3. Tbe refusal for sixty days, of a lease on Su gar Creek, of two acres of ground; five-eighths of the oil to the company. 4. Seven acres in fee simple on the waters of Ritchey Run, one mile from its junction with the Allegheny, about the same distance from the Fox and Widel well, owned by the "Stump Island Oil Company." All fiat, boreable territory, at present under cultivation, with a good frame house upon it. 5. Three acres in fee simple on the Allegheny river, just below the mouth of the Clarion river. There is room on this tract for a half dozen wells. The "Allegheny and Clarion River Oil Compa ny," of Philadelphia, are now sinking several wells immediately opposite this property, with excel lent prospects of success. In presenting the above basis to the public, it is confidently believed that it cannot be excelled by that of any other company yet organized. The two leases on Cherry Run are themselves worth more than the territories of many companies which profess to be based upon a million capital. The Cherry Run region has proved to be the sur est oil-producing territory yet discovered. Nine tenths of the wells bored on this stream have been successful. The great "Reed" well, flowing 375 barrels per day, tfie "Mountain" well 400 and in fact nearly all of the large wells yet struck! are located on Cherrv Run. It is proposed to sell a sufficient number of shares to pay for the territory and to raise work ing c apital for its development, at the low price of twenty-fire cent* per ehare, thu* placing every euh ecrtber to tki* fund on the gronndfiour, and giv ing each eubecriber a pro rata inter e*t in the ter ritory, engine *, and other property of the company. as well as the shares of stock remaining unsold after the purchase money and working capital arc raised. From the nature of the leases boring up on them must be commenced within sixty days from the 20th of April, 186*, which is a sufficient guaranty that the company will proceed without delay to the development of its territory.
