Grinding Feed.
Experimental farmers have long urged the
importance, and even I.C c-sity, of chopping or
grinding hay, as well as other food, for cattle
aid horses. The lazy drones have had a
hearty laugh over the idea, and call it "Look
farming."
Now, the theory of chopping and grinding
food is based 011 a principle which lies at the
foundation of animal physiology. Rest is es
sential to the accumulation of muscle, as well
as fat. If we wish to increase an animal in
flesh, or fat, we do not work him.
Now, a cow cats one thirteenth of her own
weight in hay a day, to keep her in good order
and wc may thus calculate the amount of la
bor required to masticate the food, and fit it
for the stomach. The labor of chopping or
grinding twenty-five pounds of dry hay a
day is no small item. This excessive labor is
performed by one set of muscle—the jaws ; but
by sympathy affects all the other muscles, cau
ses the blood to circulate quicker, the breath
faster, the consumption of food great-r, and
still the growth of the animal is retarded.
If a machine was invented to grind hay, the
ground article would approximate in value to
unground oats, in producing fat and muscle.
Chopping hay and stalks is valuable just in
proportion as it approximates to grinding, and
relieves the animal of the labor of grinding it.
Au animal fed 011 ground or minced food, may
perform an amount of labor equal to grinding
it fit for digestion, and fat as fast as another
which does not labor, but grinds its own food.
CHEAP AXN DURABLE WASH — The following
is a most excellent, cheap, and durable wash
for wooden fence and buildings. It owes its
durability chiefly to the ickitc rilrvl, which
hardens and fixes the wash.
Take a barrel and slack one bushel of fresh
ly burned lime in it, by covering the lime with
boiling water.
After slacked, add cold water enough to
bring it to the consistency of good white wash.
Then dissolve in water, and add one pound of
white vitrol (sulphate of sine,) and one quart
of fine salt.
To give this a cream color, add one-half a
pound of yellow ochre (in powder). To give
it a. fa ten color, add a pound of yellow ochre,
and one fourth of a pound of Indian red.
To make the wash a handsome grey stone
color, add one half a pound of French blue,
and ouc-fourth of a pound of Indian red ; a
drab will bo made by adding one-half pound of
burnt scnua, and one fourth pound Venetian
red.
For brick or stone, instead of one bushel of
lime, use half a bushel of lime and half a bushel
of hydraulic cement.
II AY M aking. —lt has been definitely set
tled that the great object to be sought is the
preservation of hay in a condition most nearly
resembling the trrass in a perfect state. In or
der to accomplish this end, grass should be cut
when it contains the greatest amount of glut
ten, sugar and such other matter as are solu
ble in water. "When the plant has formed its
seed, this stage has passed and woody fibre
predominates—this being insoluble cannot as
similate itself to the requirements of the ani
mals stomach. AVlten grass is in full flower,
but before the seed has formed, it contains the
greatest amount of saccharine matter ; this
speedily diminishes as it ripens, wlfeh together
with the-decay of the leaves, causes a loss in
its nutritive properties. (Juite a number of
grasses are exceptions to this rule—some con
taining the most nutriment when fully ripe—
but as a general principle, for the benefit of
both hay and the land upon which it is grown,
wc would advise the cutting at full flower.
The process of curing should, if possible, be
perfected in the cock. Hay thus made retains
more of the color and juices of the grass than
when thinly spread over the field exposed to
the rays of the burning sun. It should, if
spread, be gathered into win-rows or " foot
cock'' at night—dew falling upon it when thus
scattered, results in more or less injury. The
point after cutting is to preserve it from dew
and rain, as these soon wash away the soluble
salts, and its keeping qualities are thereby af
fected, for hay thus deteriorated ferments very
readily when stacked. If the weather is un
favorable, the less liav is shook about the bet
ter. It will preserve its nutritive properties,
for n considerable period of time if left undis
turbed, but when submitted to repcate 1 dry
ings and wettings it is soon be utterly ruined.—
Rural Xeic Yorker, June 21.
I low to Obtain Kap.i.y Lima Bean*. —We
observed recently an excellent mode of start
ing Lima beans, both for an early crop and
avoiding the danger to the young plants from
the depradat ions of insects, Ac. One hundred
eight inch pots were placed in a small forcing
house, each pot filled with good rich soil, and
as many beans planted therein as would form
ft hill. In a very few days the plants broke
ground, and grew rapidly in the warm, moist
atmosphere of the house. When of a sufficient
size, the ground is prepared and the pot
emptied of contents, a hole dug, and the mass
of earth containing the plants, remaining un
broken, placed itt it. The soil is then filled
in around it, and the job is finished—the poles
having been put in their places previously.—
Another crop of plants can then be obtained
bv tire same process, so that a succession of
ibis excellent vegetable can be had through
out the season.— Ohio Farmer, June 21.
Saving Garden Seeds. —The first vegeta
bles, peas or snap beans that appear, sure for
seed, : the first stalk of okra that will show
the pod, let it goto seed ; the first cucumber,
squash or melon, save for seed. In this way,
we may succeed in getting much earlier vege
tables, than by following the usual method of
taking the refuse of all our garden crops.
Save the earliest aud best of everything for
seed, Our egg plants might be brought into
bearing much sooner, if we would save the
first for seed.
\\ ho can stand it, with all the long year's
dearth of delicious morsels, to save the first
roasting ear or totAato, that may appear for
seed ? aud yet it we would bring forward the
whole crop two or three weeks earlier, it must
be done. it be u settled maxim of the
gardener— the first and best of cee> for
seal. ° '
Cvctionto Farmers. —The hay which yon
will itave this year will not be as nutritious a*
if its growth had not been so sudden. Make
allowance for this in your estimate of food for
your stork next winter. Yoa will need more
of food, or less of stock relatively than in some

; Ac., Ac. Indeed very few are the diseases in which a
Purgative Medicine isnot more or less required, and much
sickness and suffering mijrht he prevented, if a harmless
but effectual Cathartic were more freely used. No per- i
• son can feel well while a costive habit of body prevails ; j
j be-ides it soon generates serious and often fatal diseases, :
which might have been avoided !>v the timely and judi- i
j cious use of a good purgative. This is alike true of Colds, '
j Feverish symptoms, and Billions derangements. They
i all tend to become or produce the deep seated and for
i midahlc di tempers which load the hearses all oer the
| land. Hence a reliable family physic is of the first im
j portauccto the public health, and this Pill has bocri per
j feeted with consummate skill t meet that demand. An
extensive trial of its virtues by Physicians, Professors,
and Patients, has shown results surpassing anything
! hitherto known of any medicine. Cures have been ce
feeted beyond belief, were they not substantiated byper
j sons of sueli exalted positions and character as to forbid
I the suspicion of untruth.
j Among the eminent gentlemen who have testified in
favor of these Piils, we may mention :
Doct. A. A. HAYES, Analytical Chemist of Boston,
I and State Assayer of Massachusetts, whose high Proles
| sional character is endorsed by the—
Hon. KDWAIID EVERETT, Senator of the United
j States.
ROBERT C. \Y IXTHROP, Ex-Speaker of the House of
Representatives.
ABBOTT LAWRENCE. Minister Plott. to England.

! City, endorsed by
Hon. W. L. M AIIC Y, Secretary of State.
WM. B. ASTOR. the richest man in America,
j S. EELAXDAi Co., Proprietors of the .Metropolitan
i Hotel, and others.
| Did space permit, we couhl give many hundred certi
ficate- troui all parts where the Pill- have been used, but
! evidence even more convincing than the experience of
i eminent public men, is found in their effects upon trial.
These Pills, the result of long investigation anil study,
j are offen d to the public as the best and most complete
| which the present state of medical science can afford
i 1 bey are compounded not of the drugs themselves, but of
, the medicinal virtues only of Vegetable remedies extrart
; ed by Chemical process in a state of purity, and eombin
-1 ed together in such a manner as to insure the best results.
| This system of composition for medicines has been found
, in < herry Pectoral and Pills both, to produce a more ef
j firiciit remedy than had hitherto been obtained by any
| process. The reason is perfectly obvious. While by the
I old mode of composition, every medicine is burdened with
| more or less of acrimonious and injurious qualities, by
1 this each individual virtue only that is desired for the cu
rative etlect is present. All the inert and obnoxious
qualities of each sub-t.ince employed arc left behind, the
! curative virtues only being retained. Hence it is self
j evident the effects should prove as they have proved,
| more purely remedial, and the Pills a more powerful an
! tidotc to disease than any other medicine known to the
j world,
| As it is frequently expedient that many medicines
! should be taken under the counsel of an attending Physi
j eian. and as he could not properly judge of a remedy
j 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 aim British American Provinces. If however there
j should he any one who has not received them, they will
; be forwaidcil by mail to his request,
j Of all the Patent Medicines that are offered, how few
I would he taken it their composition was known ! Their
; life consists in their my-tery. 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
j freely acknowledge their convictions of their intrinsic
j merits. The Cherry Pectoral was pronounced by scienti
fic men to he a wonderful medicine before its effects were
known. .Many eminent Physicians have declared the
same thing of uiv Pills, and even more confidently, and
are willing to certify that their anticipations were more
j than realized by their effects upon trial.
Tin y operate by tbeir powerful influence on the inter
nal viscera to purity the blood and stimulate it into heal
thy action—remove the obstructions of the stomach, bow-
I el-, liver, and other organs of the body, restoring their
irregular action to health, and by correcting, wherever
I they exist, such derangements as are the first origin of
; disease.

GREAT IMPROVEMENT IN WATER PIPE
AND
CHAIN PUMP TUBING.
LITHE subscriber having lately commenced the manufac-
J. tare of WATER TUIiIXG, at Wilkes-Barre. Pa. with
WYCKOFF'S PATENT BORING MACHINE,
which produces the article so long sought after by Pump
Manufacturers and others, would call the attention of Rail
road Superintendents, Pump Dealers, Farmers, Village
Corporations and all others in want of cheap and durable
Water Conductors, to the Pipes manufactured by this pro
cess. They are made from solid Pine and other scantling
from 3 to 6 inches square, according to size of bore and
pressure required, in sections 8 feet long, with a socket
joint accurately fitted, both air and water tight. As VYy
chofTs Machine bores directly through the centre every
time, the timber need only be large enough to sustain the
pressure wanted, as the smaller they are the more perfect
ly they become saturated with water, and the longer they
will last when laid in the ground. 1: i-- a welt-ascei tain
cd fact that while the body or thick part of a pump log is
entirely decayed, the thin sharpened end will be sound ;
at the same time they never stop up from impurities of
the water or being flattened, are free from rust or poison
ous oxydes, lasting alsuit as long as lead or iron, at only
one-sixth the cost.
The above-mentioned Pipes have been extensively and
thoroughly tested in most of the Northern States, for the
past two years, and wherever introduced they immediate
ly supersede all othci*kinds of Pipe or Chain l'unip Tub
ing. They can be made to stand any desirable head of
water, and can be shipped to any part of the country with
safety and at small expense.
