Clover Hay.
The clovers arc jost considered as among ,
the best ami most valuable of the cultivated ;
grasses. Yet, owing to an error in cutting '
and curing them, a very considerable portion
of the rich nutritrive matters they contaiu is
lost. As a preventive of this, a correspon
dent of the Gennantown Telegraph gives the
following :
I have now a mow of red clover, sparsely
intermixed with which are small quantities
of white clover, red top, brown top and herds
grass, which was cut when honeysuckles was
in full bloom, and made in grass cock, accord
ing to the rules laid down sometime since in
the columns of your paper for curing this
kind of hay. I iiaust say that although I had
not much faith in the matter at first, the re
sult has fully proved the correctness of the
writer's views, and that I no longer doubt
the theory upon which the practice is ba-cd.
If clover is cut when in bloom and permitted
to remain undisturbed in the swath till the
forenoon of the secoud day nnd then turned,
exposing the under and unwiltcd side to the
aun for a few hours, and then pitched carefully
into cocks of sixty-pounds weight, cured hay,
and there allowed to stand till cured, the hay
will be heavier, brighter of better flavor and
possessed of far greater nourishment than hay
of the same kind made in ordinary manner.
The leaves and fine heads, which are inevit
ably lost in drying in the ordinary way, in
consequence of their brittleness wheu dried,
are in this way preserved. The flavor of the
hay is also vastly superior. One ton of good
clover, made in this way, is worth, for feed
ing, two tons cured the old way, and deprived
by turuing, spreading and filching of its heads
and leaves. The fermentation which it un
dergoes in the cock is never suffieienlty vigor
ous to dissipate any of the elimentary proper
ties, nnd is rarely sufficient to be perceptible
by the hand. That the heat is very moder
ate is sufficiently attested by the fact that
the color, not only of the foliage which is nat
urally of a deep and vivid green, but the
bright crimson of the flowers, is retained,
which would not be the case where the fer
mentation as vigorous as many would lead
us to believe. Any grass cured in this way
will be more nutritive, of better color and
greater weight than the same grass made in
the old way.
IST A writer in the Scientific American
recommends to the ladies a very simple ar
rangement for keeping Imtter nice and coo!
in the hottest weather. Procure a large new
flowerpot, of sufficient size to cover the but-'
ter-plate, and also a saucer large enough for
the flowerpot to rest in upside down ; place
a trivet or meat stand (sucii as is sent to the
oven when a joint is baked) in the saucer, and
put on this trivet the plate of butter ; now
fill the saucer with water, and turn the flower
pot over the butter, so that its edges will be
below the water. The hole in the flower pot
must be filled with a cork ; the butter will
tbeu be in what we may call an air tight
chamber. Let the whole of the outside of
the flower-pot bo then thoroughly drenel ed
with water and place as you can. If this be
overnight the butter will be as "firm as a rock"
at breakfast time , or, if placed there in the
morning the butter will be quite hard for ue
at tea hour. The reason of this is, that when
water evaporates, it produces cold ; the po
rus pot draws up the water which in warm
weather quickly evaporates from the sides,
and thus cools it, and as no warm air can now
get at the butter it becomes firm aud cool iu
the hottest day.
SQUASHES. —Many persons fail to get good
squashes in consequence of the bugs making
such havoc with the young and tender plants,
what they do not eat being so mutilated aud
poisoued as to prevent their growth. Vari
ous modes have been resorted to, to prevent
these ravages, but with little effect. The
squash is a stroug feeder, and needs a rich
aDd warm soil, and when it ha 3 these, and
can be kept out of the way of the bugs, there
is no difficulty in procuring a good crop. The
best preventative however, of the bugs, is to
plant late—say from the 12th to the 20th of
June ; the plants come thick at that season,
if the soil is suitable and go on with a rapid
and uninterrupted growth— Maine Farmer.
FACTS FOR THE FARMER.— Fence posts
nhould never be vet in the soil till seasoned
although wood is known to be raore durable
in wet ground, if the degree of mubturo is re
gularly kept up. Constant wetness promotes
rather than decreases the durability of posts ;
still the fermeutations of the natural sap will
induce rot. Wo ought to mention iu eou
ncction with this, the fact that all timber used
in the lower and more exposed parts of build
ings, ought to be thoroughly seasoned before
it is used. Whtn it is necesary to put in new
sills, seasoned timber ought invariably to be
selected. A sill or sleeper that is perfectly
dry, if not placed too tear the surface of the
ground will last much longer than a stick of
the same size freshly cut and hewn. The
higher a building sets above the surface, the
longer the sills last. Carjjenters and other
observing men assert, that wood cut in the
shortest days of winter, does not prove dura
ble as that cut in June. Wood partially sea
soned, is also preferable, in many respects tor
fuel, to that which is thoroughly dry. It is a
mistake to suppose that the entire mass of fluid
contained in wood, is mere water. Like the
blood of the human system it is a compound
liquid, of which pure aqueous particles con
stitute the base ; but iu both cases chemistry
has developed the presence of numerous other
substances. In wood partially dry, the wa
ter is in a great measure absent, and nil that
is combustible, in the fluid, is left in the pores.
PREPARATION* OK SEEDS. —Some seeds are
so slow of genniuation that weeds grow in ad
vance of them, and thus render their cultiva
tion more difficult. Many of these, such as
the carrot, parsnip, &e., may be buried in a
bag in the soil a few days before use, and
thus swell materially, by the humidity and
other necessary conditions found iu the soil,
before final use. This mode of treatment, in
many cases, will do away with the necesajy
for steeps, and render early germination quite
certain. Care should be token not to have
them buried long enough to cause material
sprouting, as the new sprout might be broken
off or iujured during planting.— Ohio Valley
Farmer.

VN'EW and singularly successful remedy for the cure
of all Billions diseases—Costiveness, Indigestion
j Jaundice. Dropsy, Rheumatism, Fevers "Gout, Humors,
j Nervousness, Irritability, Inhumation?, Headache, Pains
lin the Breast, Side, Back,and Limbs, Female Complaints,
Ac., Ac. Indeed very few arc the diseases in which a
Purgative Medicine is not more or less required, and much
sickness and suffering might be prevented, if a harmless
but eO'e< to il Cathartic were more freely used. No per
son can feci well while a costive habit of body prevails ;
j besides it soon generates serious and often fatal diseases,
• which might have In en avoided bv the timely and judi
-1 ci.ins life of a good | urgativ-. This is alike trueofC'olds,
Feverish symptoms, and Billions derangements. They
| all tend to become or produce the deep seated and for
| midable distemper-which load the hearses all oi-r the
I land. Hence a reliable family physic is of the first im
j nortanceto the public healtii, aud this Pill has been per
i feeted with eonsnmmate skill to meet that demand. An
j extensive trial of its virtues by Physicians, Professors,
, and Patients, has shown results surpassing anvthing
[ hitherto known of any medicine. Cures have been ef
i letted beyond belief, were they not substantiated byper-
I ous of such exalted positions aud character as to forbid
! the suspicion of untruth.
| Among the eminent gentlemen who have testified in
; tavor of the.-e Pills, we may mention :
( Doct. A. A. HAYES, Analytical Chemist of Boton,
and State As:saver of Massachusetts, whose high l'rofes
| sional character i i ndorsed hv the—
Hon. EDWARD EVERETT, Senator of the United
| States.
ROBERT C. WIXTHROP, Ex-Speaker of the House of
: Representatives.
ABBOTT LAWRENCE. Minister Plen. to England.
; fJOHN B. FITZPATRICK, Catholic Bishop of Boston;
! al-o
Dr. J. R. CHILTON, Practical Chemist of New York
; City, endorsed by
lion. W. L. MARCY, Secretary of State.
\VM. B. AsTOK, the richest man in America.
S. EEL AND A Co., Proprietors of the Metropolitan I
Hotel, aud others.
Did space permit, we conld give many hundred certi- j
ficates trom all parts where the Pills have been used, but j
evidence even more convincing than the experience of !
eminent public men, is found in their effects upon trial. |
The-e rills, the result of long investigation and study,
are offered to the public as the best and most complete
which the present state of medical science can afford.—
They are compounded not of the drugs themselves, hut of
the medicinal virtues only of Vegetable remedies extract
ed by Chemical process in a state of puritv, and combin
ed together in such a manner as to insure the best results.
This system of composition for medicines has been found
iu Cherry I'ectoral and Pills both, to produce a more ef
ficient remedy than had hitherto been obtained bv anv
process. The reason is perfectly obvious. While by the
old mode ot composition, every medicine is burdened with
more or less of acrimonious and injurious qualities, by
this each individual virtue only that is desired fur the cu
rative effect is present. All the inert and obnoxious
qualities of each substance employed are left behind, the
curative virtues only being retained. Hence it is self
evident the effects should prove as they have proved,
more purely remedial, and the Pills a more powerful an
tidote to disease than any other medicine known to the
world.
As it is frequently expedient that many medicines
: should be taken under the counsel of an attending Physi
cian, and as he eonld not properly judge of a remedy
| without knowing its composition. 1 have suppled the ac
! curate Formula- by which both my Pectoral and Pills are
! made, to the whole body of Practitioners in the United
! States anu British American Provinces. If however there
i should be any one who has not received tbeni. they will
i be forwarded by mail to his request.
Of all the Patent Medicines that are offered, how few
would lie taken it their composition was known ! Their
lite consists in their mystery. 1 have no mysteries.
The composition of my preparations is laid open to all
men. and all who are competent to judge on the subject
treely acknowledge their convictions of their intrinsic
merits. The Cherry Pectoral was pronounced by scienti
fic. men to be a wonderful medicine liefore its effects were
known. Many eminent Physicians have declared the
: same thing of my Pills, and even more confidently, and
arc willing to certify that their anticipations were more
than realized by their effects upon trial.
They operate by their powerful iuUucnce on the inter
nal viscera to purify the blood and stimulate it into heal
thy action—remove the obstructions of the stoni.ch, bow
els, liver, and other organs of the body, restoring their
irregular action to health, and by correcting, wherever
they exist, such derangements as are the first origin of
disease.
