FARM, GARDEN AM) HOUSEHOLD. linking Hay. The old saw which tells the farmer to " Make hay while the sun shines" does not go far enough in the way of advice, for much poor hay is made in the best of haying weather. A man cannot make gooa nay out 01 poor material; conee* piently, he must not only have some good plant to begin with, but must cut i* at the proper stage of its growth. The best of timothy and red-top, or any of the clovers, if allowed to stand until ripe an.l the leaves drop, are worth little more for hay than so much rye straw ; and it is to the importance of cutting hay early that we wish, to call especial attention. There is never too much fodder saved anywhere for the use of stock in winter ; but tliorc is a vast quantity gathered which is almost worthless, because operation is delayed until the plants are past their bost. Haymaking consists essentially in expelling the moisture from green herbage cut in a succulent stage, and it ought to be so conducted as to expel nothing but water, while retaining as much of this as will secure the perfect conservation of the hay. If too large a quantity of moisture is retained, fermentation, followed by deterioration of value, results. The best timo to cut a crop for hay is at the moment of completion of growth in the stature of the plant, when the formation of seed lias commenced. If the operation is delayed, the stem begins to lignify, or become woody, and the most important nutrient principles are absorbed by the seed, which is generally lost by falling out, bocoming scattered during harvesting, or while the hay is being fed out to the stock. The agricultural chemist as well as our most thorough scientific farmers have long since demonstrated the fact that all plants designed for dry forage should be ent varly, that is, before the seod is formed, and while both the leaves and stems are in a soft, succulent condition. We believe this point is eo well settled that none but th* most ignorant of our farmers would advocate a delay of haymaking boyond the period named ; still, tujuugu wuui ui u proper system ui mailagement, hundreds do not get ready to cuter their hayfields until tho season is f>o far advanced that making good hay is out of the question; and we think it would be no exaggeration to say, that, through neglect to gather in time, the hay crop of the United States is lessened in actual feeding value twenty per cent. ?a loss to the country of millions of dollars annually. This waste of material is so widely distributed that it is scarcely felt by individuals ; still, it is one of tho great leaks which help to keep our farmers poor. It is not alone in the depreciated value of the hay crop that the effect of late haying is seen ; for another fact, which has also been fully demonstrated, is, that the production of seed of plants is au exhaustive process in itself, and, with r>YPPr>finn nf fu'n r>v fhrAP snpr>ir?s of grasses, injury to the roots ami general loss of vigor follow lute gathering of the crop. In other words, meadows last longer if the hay is cut early than if left until the seed has formed, and a second growth of herbage is more sure to follow. Any one who has sown rye or oats for soiling purposes knows that if mown before the heads have fairly formed, two, three, or more good cuttings may be secured during the season from the original roots; but let the graiu become fairly formed, and one cutting will be sufficient to kill the plants. The same principles.hold good in the management of the perennial grasses of our meadows and pastures, and it would bo well for every fanner to consider them while making preparation for haying the present season. In many parts of the country there are large tracts of swamp lands, covered with a luxuriant growth of a low and not very nutrient grass, and other kinds of plants, from which a passably good forage might be made if they were secured in season. Bat these low grounds are usually left until the very last, because 1 lie product is not so valuable as that of the upland ; besides, the herbage upon them keeps green later in the season, and it is generally thought that there is no hurry about cutting bog or swamp hay until after-harvest, and the hurry of farm work is over. This view is erroneous, inasmuch as the bog grasses and other plants growing in such situations are generally of a lower order aud less nutritive than those growing upon dry land ; and they bocorue very hard and woody long before showiug signs of maturity by assuming a brown or yellowish color, like those in our cultivated fields. There are many of these bog grasses or sedges, which would be eaten by cattle in winter if cut very early, before the stems aud leaves become hard and woody; ami, although we would not recommend the saviug of such materials for fodder if better kinds have to be neglected in order to secure it, there are thonsauds of cattle that suffer every winter for want of food, and to those even bog hay wouldbq a blessing. The old saying that "a straw-sfack or pile of green twigs is better thau a snow-bank " for cattle to wallow in during winter, is applicable to this swamp hay ;. and we can scarcely urge too strongly the importance of gathering all such material for the use of stock in winter. It may not be ueede 1; neither is it always economy to save wheat straw, especially in *egions where the winters are mild, and better forage plentiful; but the season may come wheu such unimportant material will be handy, as it is this year in California, where, owing to a severe drouth, all \ * 1 1 ltujks nave iuueu. The wise mau lays up stores for future needs, us well as for a prfe3ent supply ; consequently we nilvise our reader* not only to "make bay when the sun shines," but whenever time and opportunity present, and out of whatever materials there may be at command.?New York Sun. lhmchold IlintM. To Keep Stoves from Rusting.? Kerosene applied with a cloth to stover will keep them from rusting during the summer. It is, also, an excellent material to apply to all iron utensils used about a farm. A Tack in Season.?If the corner of a carpet gets loose, prevents the door opening, or trips every one that enters the room, nail it down at once. A dog's-eared carpet marks the sloven as well as the dog's-eared book. Suet Pudding.?One cupful chopped suet, one cupful milk, two cupsfuls sour milk, half a cupful molasses, one and a lialf /Minfula Tnrtinri incnl rmo ni><1 n half cup fills flour, oue teaspoonful soda, salt. How xo Clean Oil Cloths.?If you wish to have them look new ami nice, wash them with soft flannel and lukewarm water, and wipe perfectly dry. If you want them to look extra nice, after they are wiped drop a few spoonfuls of milk over them, and rub them dry with a cloth. Moth-Pkoof Bakkels.?Barrels made of pasteboard have been introduced this spring for the packing away of woolens and furs. These aro seatnHss, and regarded as moth proof. The head, which fits down snugly, is the onty available entrance for the moth, and directions we given to paste a layer of brown paper over this almost invisible line when the barrel is packed. Moths in Carpets.?A good way to kill them is to take a coarse towel, aud wring it out of clean water. Spread it smoothly on the carpet, then iron it dry with a good hot iron, repeating the operation on all suspected places, and those least us#d. It docs not injure the carpet in the least. It is not necessary to press hard, heat and steam being the agents, and they do the work effectually on worms and eggs. An Indian Prophet, The North American Indians are pe culiarly sensitive to the influence of pro pliets, and one of th?* nvo'st notable o these is a sexagenarian named Smuli hftllos bfclontfing to the Wallawalla trib on Middle Columbia river, who ha bceli disturbing the untutored India: mind for several years past, and of whori an interesting account is given by th Nation. Smnhhalle was originally : medicine man of his own Oregoniai tribe. In the pursuit of his calling li met a thorough biblical scholar, and im proved so much by his teachings that h started on hisown account as an Indiai prophet, and went about disseminatinj his doctrine by speeches, discussions and demonstrations. The gist of thi doctrine was the love of ou~ fellow-mei and the complete return of the "old hat) py state" of the Indians before the ail vent of tho white race. His follower constituted themselves a propogandis society about the year 1802, and lie sooi gained a reputation among the tribes oi the Columbia as n reformer, a public be nefactor, and a presumptive redeeme from the foreign yoke. Although hii disciples are generally considered a "smart imposters" by the white settlers Smulihalle himself does not deserve thi epithet. Like Mohammed, he promise multiple conjugal felicity to his follow ers, and is himself blessed with fiv i wives. His secretaries pledge them selves to maintain and spread the doc triues even after his death, and they dis tinguisli themselves from other Indian by decorating themselves with two blacl dashes on each cheek, with one whiti dash or streak intervening. The belie in Smulihalle will, in their opinion, event ually bring the country into their owi undisputed possession. They unite tlire* times ^very day for worship, Thi movement, it is stated, is rapidly spread ing, and many tribes of the Columbii Basin, from the Klamath Lakes to thi Upper Columbia, have joined the sec whollv or Martially. Smulihalle doei not leave his own camp, which is at Ra pids du Pre on the Columbia river, bu preaches there his doctrine with the em phasis, imagery, and volubility so wel known to Indian discourses. The re csnt dissatisfaction among the Nez Per ces Indians, a numerous tribe residing on the Oregon and Idaho reservations is maiuly attributed to this "reformn tory" movement of Smuhhalle and hi followers. A Shrewd Swindle. Samuel Wheeler is a farmer in a smal way in the Berkshire hills, inMaesacliu setts. Some two or three weeks ago while at work on his farm, he was ap proached by a well-dressed, genteel an< suave stranger, who introduced liimsel as an attorney from Albany county " Your name is Wheeler," says the " at torney." "Yes," was the response Then the "legal light" went on to tel him that Amos ^Burton, of New Scotland had died less than a year ago, and lef behind him two magnificent farms ii New Scotland, valued at $25,000 each which were awaiting the coming forwart of the next of kin to claim them. Tin "attorney," in his off-hand, persuasivi way, went on to show the hitherto con tented tiller of the Massachusetts soil that he, and he only, was the next o kin, and by the laws of right as well a consanguinity was entitled to the posses sion of the lordly estate. The bait took. Although astonishe< by his unexpected good fortune at first visions of life as a landed proprietor 01 a large scale succeeded, and Wheeler ea geny asKeu me ueiaus us 10 wiien aut how he could get the necessary informa tion so as to take immediate possession The little preliminary of a fee must firs be paid for the trouble the attorney luu taken to apprise him of his good fortune for expenses incurred, and the $100 de manded was quickly handed over " Write to the surrrognte at Albany,' was the injunction of the "attorney,' and he will furnish full particulars, o you may call at his office and examini his records for yourself." With that tin I attorney departed, promising to re tun j in a few days with additional proof. Tin few days passed, no "attorney " ap i peared, aud Wheeler, preferring to satis i fy himself rather than write, extraetei more money from his hard earnings, an< ! came t?

A DESPERATE INDIAN FIGHT. .Him-ra ltei>ulaiiiK a Band of Sjioux?One , Hundred nud .Sixteen BrnveH Killed. One of the most sanguinary fights with " Indians, eo far as the number of white men engaged in it is concerned, that we have any record of, took place recently near the south fork of the Little Missouri, according to a Black Hills paper, which gives the following account of the affair: e The facts, as we gleaned them from one of the participants, who reached p Gayville, and is now stopping with his former partner, are as follows: About two weeks ago a party of ninety-eight * men and two ladies made up of parties g from Dead wood, Gayville and other adjucent camps, started for the Big Horn country, with riding and pack animals. une weeK alter, m tne aiteraoon, wnen g Hearing tlic brakes of the south fork of j the Little Missouri, they discovered a |' large band of Iudiaus dismounted, tlic latter having their ponies off a couple of miles from where they were seen. The r miners, anticipating an attack, imrneB diately took their shovels, eaeli man B throwing up a breastwork from which he could light to better advantage. At g three p. M. the Indians in large numbers g commenced the attack by several feints _ upon the miners, reserving their main e charge until about five p. M. By this time the miners were thoroughly organized, each one unpacking his animal. The Indians charged on the miners on s foot, at one time approachiug within 200 ^ yards of ^lie entrenched miners. The e latter poured round after round of a ? murderous fite into the Indians from behind their breastwork. For a time x the fight was extremely hot, the Indians 2 displaying more than their usual discreg tion, but the well-directed and effective tire from the well-armed miners was in[t cessaut and death dealing for several G hours, when the Indians withdrew. t After the fight it was discovered that s fourteen of the miners were killed, all of them, with one exception, being shot V in the head. Eighteen of the miuers' animals were killed or wounded sum1 ciently to render them useless. One _ hundred and sixteen Indian bodies lay .. on the battle field as a trophy of the unr erring markmanship of the minfcrs. The J Indian horses that were off from the 1 larger herd and closer to the miners 8 were picked off by the long range rifles of the miners. The only portions of the miners' bodies that were exposed were their heads, as they fired from behind \ their temporary earth breastworks. On . the next morning, after a redistribution | of the packs of the animals killed, the I party proceeded on their journey. As } they are desirous of keeping the affair f quiet, so as not to discourage the sevt ral large parties now organizing here for the 'r Big Horn country, the fight was kept irom the public. Our informant was 1 three days making the return trip to Gayville. t ?? i The Turkish Cninp nt Slmnila. > A war correspondent of the London 1 Times has this to say about the appearL> ance and behavior of the Turkish sol L diers at the town of bhumla, east of the " Danube : I will now permit myself to ? pay a word or two upon the general ap- i f pearance and characteristics of this 5 army. To begin at the base, I have every * where found the rank ami file sound. Take your samples whencesoever you ' like?either from the Egyptians at Var> 11a, the Arabs at Rustchuk, or the ruix1 ed races here, among cavalry, artillery, " or infantry, and the result is the same. 1 You get tough, broad-shouldered pa" i tient looking, and obedient soldiers. They have their vices, but their especial strength lies in their perfect sobriety. With a camp of I will not say how ? many men, but with a great camp like * | this, overwhelming this little town, the - grog shopkeepers are simply being ruin[ ed bccause there is uo business, and the i streets are as quiet as the city of Lonr i don on a Sunday afternoon.

Eagle, of Poughkeepsie, N. Y., is a | rooster which was so unfortunate as to | I lose a leg just below the first joint. The ; j wouud, however, healed, and the roost- J 8 ; er managed with difficulty to make his j 3 | way from place to place. This summer j " j a young man from this city with Mr. J Mooro became interested in the case and i 1 i resolved to devote his genius to the [ e cause in the hope of improving the ' 2 : means of locomotion for the rooster. So 8 haviug capture.1 the fowl, measure- j * j meuts were made and a wooden leg fit- j 2 | ted on to the stump. But it did not j * i stay on. Calling into consultation an j I elderly lady in the family, an improved j 2 | leg was constructed and secured to the i 1 j stump of the rooster, this time with sue- I * cess. After frantic endeavors on the j: j rooster's part to kick it off, wliich only ? made him fall down, he accepted the sit- . , | uatiou and now uses the leg successful- I 1 j ly.

Upon receiving an answer in the negative, she led the way into the apartment. Ita interior was somewhat better than that of its neighbors,and evidently its occupant had seen better days. But dirty walls, broken plastering, cracked furniture,all attested the extreme poverty. At the back of a room was a door, wliich, when opened, looked out on the alley, twenty feet or more below. Across the door were nailed strips of board to prevent the children from falling out. Beturning to the other room, the woman turned to the swarm of children and cried, in a shrill voice: "For gracious sake get out of here; why are you all hanging here in that way?" " Are any of these yours ?" asked the X MUfKJL lUi., "Not ft bit of it. Mine's growed up. I'm takiu' care of ft couple of little ones. Their mother ilieil of consumption last week.

An Englsli Centenarian. Mr. Morgan, ftn Englishman of 107 years of age, celebrated his last birthday at the Star and Garter, Kichmoud, surrounded by sixty-seven of his posterity, which numbers 102 in all. Mr. Morgan was five years old when Burke delivered his speech on conciliation with America. He was seventeen when Gib bon was penning the last page of '"The Decline and Fall" at Lansanne. Four generations of statesmen have during his life successively come and disappeared. He was eight years old when Chatham fell fainting at his post. He was a boy when "The Rivals" was hissed off the 6tage, and he was eighteen when Sheridan dashed off" from a tavern to deliver his speech on the Oude Charge. He can remember the time when Napoleon was serving under Dugommier, and he was twenty-four when the,bloody head of Danton rolled on the sawdust.

A Moose Attacks a Canoe. The Aylmer (Quebec) Times lins the following account of an extraordinary encounter with a moose : "As Mr. Flatters, of this village, and Mr. T. H. Kirby, of Ottawa, were traveling in a canoe on the upper Gatinenu last week, an occurrence took place which might have had disastrous consequences for them. They had just rounded a point when t.lipv fnn 11 il HiAm<M>1vpR p.nnfrrmfWI hv n huge moose, "who, with two young ones, was playing in the water. Instead of taking to the bush, as it was expected she would, the animal made at once for the canoe, and attacked it with great fury. Mr. K'rby broke his paddle over the immense head (if the brute, and Mr. Flatters cut off her front foot with an axe ; but this only seemed to make her more savage. Seeing the impossibility of escaping they determined to shoot the animal in order to save their own lives, if possible ; so five or six well-directcd shots from the bailiff's revolver ended one of the toughest fights which ever took place between man and beast in that neighborhood. The two young moose were afterward captured." A Young Lady's Plain, Simple Dress. The following is clipped from the Toledo (Ohio) Blade : Now we begin to have ,.c i.?i. ? uu men ui \\ ii<iif a I'liiiii, uitoo iui a lady is. The lady principal of a young ladies' seminary in Tennessee has made a specific' chart for the government of her sweet girl graduates in their costuming for the commencement day exercises. It is gratifying, succint and clear, and we have pasted it up for future use as a standard in determining whether any feminine dress is " simple " or "rich." Tho mandate runs: "The young ladies are to dress in white, and the material is to be muslin, tarlatan, or its equivalent. No trimmings permitted except when made of the same material as the dress. Lace, s 'lk and satin expressly prohibited. No satin or silk sashes, and no train over ten inches in length. No sleeves shorter than the elbow. No flowers, except a brooch bouquet and as dressing for the hair. No jewelry except earrings. Any young lady disregarding these regulations will not be allowed to appear at commencement." A Deer With the Barb of an Arrow in His Heart. Yesterday, says the Humboldt (California) Times, a great curiosity was placed on our table?a deer's heart containing the flint barb of an arrow. Last Sunday Mr. E. Sharp, of Areata, was out on Boynton's prairie on a deer hunt. Ho saw a large five-point buck, and brought it down with his rifle. Taking off the hide and securing the heart and other rare bits, ho started home. On arriving there, Mrs. Sharp boiled the heart, and when the meal was ready, placed it on the table. In attempting to cut the heart the knife j struck against something hard. The ! lady split the heart open, and in the flesh port the flint barb of an arrow was found. ! It must have been there a long time, as 1 the flesh was calloused all around it, and the scar where the barb entered is plainly to bo seen. This is quite a curiosity, as only a few such instances are known to be on record. A Good Sunday School Lesson.

Kicktd to Death by His Horse. ?c Charles de Harvard Carr, manager of the Cincinnati Coffin Compauy, was killed in his stable in Cincinnati by being kicked by one of his horses, about noon one dny recently. The unfortunate gentleman, who had moved into his elegant new residence at the corner of Ringgold and Young streets a month or so ago, hadreeently purchased a very fine bay horse, and about eleven o'clock on the morning of his death he left his house and proceeded to his stable on the next square to have a look at the animal. When he went into the building he fastened its door on the inside, and that was the last seen of him until about half-past twelve o'clock, when William Brooks, ! his colored coachmau, who had been 1 down town on a message, went over to j the stable to see what was detaining his j master and keeping him from his home. ) Brooks, being unable to get into the sta- j ff' ble, or to get any answers to his calls to ?c I\Ir. Carr, went to the window, which 1 ^ was open, and, upon looking into it, he ] T saw Mr. Carr lying on the floor under | n the horse's hoofs, quito dead. He i jumped into the window and pulled the i <i< body back from the reach of the animal's : heels, and then gave the alarm. The j ?' deceased was carried to his home?a ter- j I rible siirht for his lovinsr wife and family. , I From the character of his injuries, it ap- J I pears as if Mr. Carr must have been ex- I (training the* hind legs of the bay horse, j when a gray horse, which was in the , J? next stall, kicked him in the side of his 1 m< face with terrific force. One of the calks ! ^ of the animal's shoe struck him under i't the ear, and Dr. Mussey, who examined , of the body during the afternoon, is of tho Jj{?( opinion that the kick broke Mr. Carr's re; neck, and that he died iustan tan firms) y.

The figures were too high, id he went away feeling mad and re- A 3ngeful. Coming across a showman ho wanted to set up his tent and exibit a wild man and other interesting pecimens of life and death, he gave him 33 le f ree use of the vacant lot. It was stipuited that a hand-oreran should be keDt oing, bells rung now and then, and if 10 wild man uttered wild yells occa- w tonally so much the better. When the ^ leek-faced citizen saw the tent put up in tender, forgiving smile crossed his ice, and he made for a printing office, .bout the time the showman was ready ) open doors to the anxious public the leek-faced c'tizeu was ready with his igns and tack-hammer. " Gentlemen, walk, in and see the reat Kickapoo kangaroo from Kalantooo J" said the showman. "Tack! tack!"and up went a sign on ie fence reading: " Look out for smallox !" A second and a third followed, nd the meek-faced man was putting up ie fourth when the showman closcd a argain with a truck to move him down )wn. He wasn't over fifteen minutes acking and loading, and when the lot ras clear again the meek-faced citizen it on his door step and mused.
