There is annually so much good grass mercilessly manslaughered in making it in to hay, that it becomes the duty of every publisher, editor and agricultural writer in , the land, happening to have a better practi - cal knowledge of haymaking, to begin, with! the bay season, preaching as earnestly as they can, at every opportunity, better prin ciples until a radical reform in much of our baymaking practice shall have been achieved. As clover usually comes first in the rootitne of haying, and the season for putting mowers i afield is close at hand, let us bear in mind that the best standing condition of clover is ] when the plant itself i fully developed, and the heads in full but early bloom, before any considerable propoition of them have assumed the slightest tinge of brown. Then instead of being roasled, broiled and baked, in the j scorching sun untii it is as black as/.ipan tea, j as is too frequently the case with clover hay j the best plan is to cut after the dew is off in j the morning, cure and spread in the swath, j as much as can be (lone in five or six hours i of clear dryirg weather, then twenty fur 1 hours more in small cock, sheltering from dew aud rain, and haul in and put away with . the leaves still green, wilted but not in the I least, crispad or blackened by the sun. The other grasses are best cut when the j stalks and foliage have attained full growth ; and the seeds are entirely developed, but ; still in a milky state. Like clover, they •hould be cocked after a few hours sun cur ing, finished off in the cock, cured hut not in the least crisped, and hauled in while still green in color, elastic and possessed of all the inviting aroma of "new mown hay." If the foundations of bays and stacks are made up well clear of ground affording full and free \ ventilation underneath, and then in stacking ! or stowing away, a layer of clean straw, say six inches in depth, is p'aeed every two feet between the courses of hay, there will be no | danger of clover i r any other grass heating, ! moulding or rotting, though put away a , great d< al greener than is general practice, and infinitely better h.ty will be the result. CHEWING XIIE CUD. Ruminating animals gather their food rap idly, giva it a few cuts with '.he teeth, and swallow it. It goes to an interior receptacle where it is moistened ; this is very essential if it be dry hay. When the annimal has tilled himself, be pnasticatcs the food thus stored away in his atowach, raising it cud by cud. When a por tion is completely masticated it passes to an other receptacle and the progress of digestion goes on. Thus, an ox, if left by himself, will raise •nd inastieate al! his food thus stored away in his stomach. 1; he be pushed and worked hard, and does not have time to maaticatejhe falls off in Sesh, h ; s health is poor, his diges tion is incomplete. The liorse, on the contrary, however much in a hurry he may be, must masticate each mouthful before he swallows it. A hungry ox let into a meadow will fill himself in twen ty minutes, while a horse would want at least an hour and twenty minutes to take the aame amount of grass. The ox, deer, sheep, goat, chamois, and rabit, being the natural prey of ferocious beasts, are endowed with the extra stomach in which hastily to store away the food with out mastication ; this may perhaps be ropaid ed as a wise provision of nature, enabling them to sa'ly forth where the food is plenty, and in a short time fill themselves and retiie to a place of safety to ruminate their food at their leisure Mirror and Farmer. EST Horace Greeley says in his "Recol lections "The woods are my special department.— Whenever I can save a Saturday from the farm I try to give a good part of it to uiv patch of forest. The axe is the healthiest instrument that a man ever handled, and is essentially so for habitual writers and other secondary workers whose shoulders it throws back, expanding their cln-sts and opening their lungs. If every ycuth and man, from fifteen to fifty years old, could wield an axe two hours per day, dyspepsia would vanish from the earth, and rheumatism become de cidedly scarce, I am a poor chopper, yet the axe is my doctor and delight. Its use gives the mind just occupation enough to prevent it falling into a reverie of absorbing trains of thought, while every muscle in the body receives sufficient yet not exhausting exercise. I wish our boys would learn to love the axe. GARPKN PATHS. —Nothing makes better garden paths than coal ashes ; they are of more value for that purpose than ary other Ihey can be applied to. Where the path re quires it dig it out two or three inches—put the coarsest ashes at the bottom and the Bnest at the top to tie depth of from four to six inches, and then roll well. Piths made In this way are always dry and pleasant to the feet, anil are seldom troubled with weeds. POULTRY HOUSES —Eggs, and hens too, will be scarce, if the poultry house is infest ed with vermin. Pour boiling water over the roofs, and indeed, into every crack < f the building, if you cm, then wash clean with strong soap suds, and when this is dry, Whitewash the whole. Catch the fowls and rub a little grease un der the wing, on the head, aud touch various places on the body with it. The fowls will amply repay you for keeping their bouses scrupulous y clean.

The scrofulous contamination is va riously caused by mercurial disease, low living, flisordered digestion front unhealthy food, imjiure air, filth and filthy habit*, the depressing rices, and, above all, by the venereal infection. Whatever lie its origin, it is hereditary in the constitution, descending '-from parents to children unto the third and fourth generation;indeed, it seems to he the rod ot' Him who says. " I will ( visit the in,n their children." ITc diseases it originates take various names, acoovtling to the organs it attacks. In the lungs. Scrofula produces tubercles, and finally t\n*umptioS; in ti.o glands, swellings which suppurate and be come ulcerous sort's; in the stomach and bowels, derangements which produce indi gestion, dyspepsia, and liver complaint."; on the skin, eruptive and cutaneous affections. These, all having the same origin, require the same remedy, viz., put if ation and invigora tion of the blood. Purify the blood, and these dangerous distempers leave you. With feeble, foul, or corrupted blood, you cannot have health; with that '*lil'e of the flesh" healthy, you cannot have scrofulous Unease. .Ayer's Sarsaparilla is compounded from the most effectual anti dotes that medical science has discovered f< r this afflicting distemper, and for the > ure of the disorders it entails.
