The time of haying furnishes a good

mowing flelds, as well as what
ticular course should be pursued in the
matter of fertilization and seeding.
It should be the aim of the farmer
to, as far as possible, have his
meadow-—the part devoted to hay and
cultivated crops—in the best condi-
tion as regards the largest production
and the and the facility with
which the work can be done,

next best course would be to turn Ww

Some farmes—and of good soil, too
are more or less stony, and where this
is the case a good deal of work is
required to clear the land from these
obstructions, but where this can be
practically done, the good work should

An Autigue Telephone,
It is reported that an English officer,
named Harrington, has discovered in
India a working telephone between the
two temples of Pauj about a mile
apart. The system iz said to aave
been in operation at Pauj for over two
thousand years. In this connection we
may observe that Egyptologists have
found unmistakable evidence of wire
temples of the earlier Egyptian dynas-
ties; but whether these served a tele-
graphic, telephonic or other purpose
is not stated. ’
