Cui'iiiir Clover for Iluy.
Clover contains more water than any !
other grasses; conse?i?eni!y it i- more ;
dillieiilt to cure, and for tile same rea- '
son i> more ditlh ult to keep, being
liable to iieat in the mow. The natural
gnisses when cut for hay are generally
spread and dried as rapidly as may be :
in order to secure the best result This j
method, experience has proven, is not .
applicable to the clover crops.
Clover requires a longer time to cure]
it properly, and if exposed to the scorching
sun it is injured more than the
natural grasses, for its succulent leaves
and tender blossoms are quickly
browned and lose their sweetness.
A plan very generally adopted with
clover is to mow it in the morning,
let it lie a few hours, or until a wisp
taken up and twisted will show no exudation
of moisture, and then throw it
up in small cocks. In these cocks, if the
weather be line or they are properly
secured from rain, the hay remains two
or three days, when it is stored.
Another plan is to lay the clover upon
beams in any open building, when it re
sis it has wiitcd, and so cure it in the
shade. After a few days it can he
packed down without danger of fermenting.
While this plan of curing
under shelter makes a most excellent
quality of fragrant hay it i> not largely
adopted owing to the amount of cover
required for curing and the extra labor
of hauling the grass while yet green.
StII1 another method having a great
many advocates is hauling clover hay as
soon us wilted and storing with salt.
A layer of a foot or more in thickness
is laid down, on which salt is scattered
freely, then comes another layer of hay,
then of salt and so on until the space is
filled. A rapid fermentation ensues, the
hay becoming cured by the heat of this
fermentation, and the salt acting as a
preventive against putrefaction. In place
of salt, layers of wheat straw arc sometimes
substituted. The greener the ,
clover the thicker should be the layer of
straw, which acts as an absorbent, and ,
during the process is itselt increased in
value as food, having received somewhat (
of the llavor and aroma of the clover. .
It should always be borne in mind j
in:u clover as it lies seaiierea oy me
mower, will lie greatly injured if the ;
dew is allowed to Tali upon it. It ought ,
also to In- remembered that clover hay j
will not shed rain, and hence when j
Stacked out in the field it should be pro
tooted either with patent covers, thatch- .
ing or a thick top covering of wheat ,
straw, etc. Not a few farmers consider
the tedder necessary in saving good ,
clover hay, and while much superior ,
hay is made without it, the tedder is '
unquestionably of great service.?Xcio \

tirccn Food and (>rn?? for Fowls. ]
Fowls cannot get along well on grain 1
food alone, and must, in both winter 1
and slimmer?the latter especially?be '
supplied with some green, succulent :
food, or they will, ere long, become dis- 1
eased or sickly, when the matter of prolit
will be very problematic indeed. Many 1
a time have we seen persons* pay snug 1
littlesums for a small (lock of line fowls, ;
put them into neat houses and yards, 1
give them plenty of corn, wheat, oats, '
etc., watering them regularly, hut never
allow them a lute ot grass or outer green 1
food. The plaee must be small, indeed, J
which cannot afford enough grass for a
flock ot fowls. Ifsodscannot be obtained,
cut a bunch of line, young grass early i
every morning for them, and they will
show you how badly they need it by eating
it up with evident relish. The labor
necessary to supply them with this is
not very great, and should be a pleasure i
rather than a task, while the benefits :
which the fowls derive therefrom are '
very great indeed.
If you do not care to give your fowls
green food in the shape of grass, i
supply them with a head of cabbage each
day. Tic it up by tiie roots to some convenient
plaee, and the fowls will soon
j. pick every piece oil* clean. This is also
the way to supply them with their green
winter food. Even if you have to buy
the cabbage, it is not very expensive;
for you can get the soft heads, which
sell at a very low price compared with
the hard, solid and marketable ones, at a
nominal price.?Chore's Itural Life. ]
Striking: Cutting?,
From Sc. Petersburg, Russia, comes
tin* information that in striking cut.tiugs,
if the leaf surface on the cutting, :
naturally placed below the soil, be left
on. they will absorb moisture, and
greatly assist in keeping the tops intact
until roots are formed. Of course the 1
more porous the ground the better, and
in this ease it ?hould be kept quite moist, i
and forsumm r striking of cuttings it is j
better that they be not exposed to the
direct action of the sun. The north side
r . i --?i i- : . - i ?i ...l it '
ox a ouiiumg is a gouti pi.icc, ? iicii uny ]
can get tin* morning and evening sun.
and have tin* full benefit of the dew. The ,
earth should ho pressed firmly about the
base ot the cuttings, and they should he '
placed elose enough together so one will
give partial support to another. Thus, I
with cuttings of soft wooded plants, placed
in the ground from June 20 to
July 10, we have had uniform success in :
the West, by taking off one-half of each i
lcafof that portion ot the cutting below
ground, and reducing those somewhat
above ground.
M. "Wcidenberg, the St. Petersburg
authority, says that roses, carnations and
other cuttings usually hard to grow :
make roots kindly, by making the cuttings
pretty long, and leaving the leaves
intact under ground, by which they are
prevented, lie says, from losing their
leaves before roots are formed.?< 'idtivulor.
Summer Priming o f iirapevineK,
The pruning of grapevines in the
summer, says an exchange, is rarely attempted
except by professional growers.
But it is a very useful practice. It keeps
the vine within bounds, prevents much
useless and wasteful growth which
would otherwise divert the strength of [
the plant from the formation of fruit, !
and greatly improves the quality of the |
grapes. Ther e is no secret about the
method. With a sharp pruning-knife
(which has a curved blade) slash off by j
a quick stroke the ends of the shoots
^ which arc intended to hear fruit, leaving i
those intended to make wood to grow j
on. If fine fruit is desired, Vnly one
bunch should he left on each spur or j

of si roil ir. broad-soled slices li: for

even a ehe:'j> and common-looking siloe
is better than one. however line, whieh
binils too tiuhtiy over the instep, or
cramps the toes while it blisters the
heels. Few mothers remember how
very much a child's comfort, happiness
and good temper depend 011 the way,
sensible or otherwise, in which the little
feet are dressed It is not for notlony
that the adage, as easy as an old shot',
has passed into the proverbial literature
of the world. The' miseries of
new shoes have been felt by most of us.
So acute an observer as John Brown, of
Kdinburgh. remarks that one of the incomprehensible
mysteries of civilization
is the way in which people consent to
torture their feet. Xo little growing foot
should ever be incased in a covering too
big or too small. The boot should not
llap about liketheshrunken pod of a pea.
nor should it press like a cage, nor yet
be too short, and so force the nail of the
larger toe to grow into the tlesh, causing
excruciating torture, from which only
heroic treatment will deliver the victim.
Provided with thick and comfortable
shoes for out-door wear, and soft slippers
for those hours of the afternoon and
evening which shall be spent in the
house, the next thing in order is to think
of the dress. Thin flannel from head to
foot will equalize the temperature of the
body, and prevent many an attack of
cramp and sudden cold. Some mothers
think that a woolen texture next the
skin must of necessity make a child too
warm in the hot July and August
weather. This is a mistake. Linen and

temptation to set oil' their flower-like
faces and dainty shapes in robes of fairylike
tints and filmy thiekness; to adorn
them with laces and sashes, embroidery

women, fastidious and refined, spend
ihcirown precious strength in stitching
and sewing, that their darlings may resemble
the roses and the lilies, may glitter
on the promenade like gay moths or
velvet butterflies, and flash along the
parterre like animated rainbows. Then
the beautiful babies, when thus painstakingly
dressed, are told not to soil or

A Former Slave of Jefferson.
Esther .Jefferson, of St. Louis, Mo.,
died there recently, it is claimed, at the
remarkable age of 117 years. The case
of Aunt Esther, as she was called, is
worth more than a passing notice, not
only because her alleged longevity is
authenticated by very strong evidence,
but also because she was a slave of
Thomas Jefferson, from whom she took
her name, and, with the rest of Mr.
Jeflorson's slaves, was sold at auction
after his death. Esther Jefferson and
her husband subsequently earned money
enough to buy their own freedom. A
permit, signed by Ilenry Chouteau,
clerk of the St. Louis Circuit Court, in
1831, gives permission to Esther Jeffer
son, a n egress, sixty-nine years 01 age,
" to live in the State of Missouri as long
as of good behavior, and no longer." It
the age stated in the permit is correct,
the former slave of Thonuis Jcflerson
was fully as old as she is now said to
have been.

The Cherry.
Tin1 cherry comes originally from
Asia. After a victorious expedition into
Po:itus. the Human general Lueullus
l>r<xiurlit the eheiry from CerasUsH town
of that province, into Italy. Soldier
though he was, this Luculius always
had an eye open to whatever w is aurccj
ahie in the way of food; and it is not to
he doubted that lie regarded llu* ciierry
j as i >11' of the proudest of all his trophies.
| The cherry was then brought lo Rome
about seventy years before Christ.
About one hundred and twenty years
later it was introduced into (ireat
Rritain. From Italy it was brought also
into all the other countries of Europe?
in every one of whieh it is now a universal
favorite with all classes of the
people.
'1 he Roman horticiilturisits soon invented
other speeies of the cherry, and
Pliny makes mention of eight different
varieties which were extant in his day.
It shows what great things can he
wrought by cultivation and art, that
more than three hundred different varieties
are now specifically described in the
,ou...;..i ....0.1,
The sum of the cherry is almost identical
with gum arable, It has frequently
been utilized for food and the degree of
nutriment found in it is something surprising.
The wood of the cherry is
very beautiful and is much used for furniture.
Some persons of good taste admire
it as much as mahogany, it is
hard, compact and tough, and it possesses
the rare virtue of not warping. It
takes on a very high polish. Its beautiful
reddish tint, instead of fading with
time, grows deeper and richer every
year.
The cherry tree is so large and beautiful
in our own country that it is strange
that it is not planted and grown more
frequently as an ornamental shade tree.
In tier many the cherry tree is a great
favorite for these purposes. Many roadsides
in (Jermany are lined with eherfy
trees on both sides. You will frequently
pass through an avenue of these beautiful
shade trees for miles at a time.
The seeds of the cherry were brought
to America at an early day by colonists, ;
both from England and Holland. Hesides
these cultivated cherries, there is a
wild cherry which is indigenous to this
country.
I lie largest; and grandest cherry trees :
T liave ever read of are found in West
Virginia. While they grew in Germany
to lie four feet in diameter and sixty and
seventy feet high, they are found in West
Virginia as large as live, six and even
seven feet through, and sometimes one 1
hundred feet high.
The wild cherry is more commonly
called chokeberry. It grows not only in
the Eastern and Middle States, hut in the
far West?in Utah, Arizona and other
Rocky Mountain States; also in Oregon.
The wild cherry is a great favorite with ;
the Indians. They make a tea of the
bark, which they greatly relish. They
also pound the hark line, dry it in the
sun and boil it in meat broths. They
mix it also with meal, which they make
from various roots or seeds.
Great as are the natural adaptations of
our country to the growth of the cherry.

The Shoplifter's T^toiy.
A strange narrative came to light in
New York recently, which well illustrates
the dark and bright jide of the
great metropolis. A young tnd handsomely
dressed lady made a complaint to
the police th..t a certain womin was annoying
and trying to blackmail her.
The party proved to be "Mag" Morgan,
a notorious shoplifter, who surprised the
authorities by declaring that the complainant
was her daughter, and produced
letters from the ladv to prove her
assertion. The young lady after a time
said that she did not really know whether
the woman was her mother or not, as she
had lived with her aunt since she Was
thirteen months of age. Her father left
her mother because she was a bad woman,
and she had no positive knowledge
that the "Mag" was, or was not,
her parent. She said that she had married
a retired gentleman and did not wish
to be annoyed or slandered iurthcr.
"Mag" produced letters written by her
(claimed to be) daughter, commencing
?4.i 4.1? 11 ?ii ...uz^u

exception, wore claimed to be forgeries.
The shoplifter began to cry, and promised
to co away and to try and live a
better lite. This so affected the young
lady that she, too, went. Superintendent
Walling allowed the slioplifter to go, and
the outcast from society and the offender
against the laws of the land departed, it
is hoped on the way to a purer and better
life.
A Child in n Benr-Pit.
Joe Beef is a noted character of Mod- i
treal who keeps a saloon -..nd eatinghouse.
Under his "Canteen," on Common
street, he has a liear-pit. which is
reicrned over bv a bi<r black bear weigh
ing 100 pounds. There are also a she
hear and two comparatively young cubs.
One afternoon, short Tfihe ago, while a
colored preacher w:us holding services in
the singing-room of the "Canteen," the
trap-door was thrown open to show the
bear to several American visitors. Just
as Joe stepped into the barroom his sixyear-old
son fell into the den. The old
hears were in a corner, but a cub ran at
the child, wl* scnUnn!.. A. man
stretched himself on the floor, loaned
down, caught hold of the little fellow
and r:,ised him up, the she hear at the
same instant seizing the child. Tiie
man's hold slipped and theehild fell into
the bear's claws. Joe meanwhile had
heard the scream and the noise, lie
leaped into the pit, lighting on the head
of fine of the bears, and fearing the child
from the monster placed it behind him.
The she hear sprang at Joe and drove
her teeth through his right Knee, .joo
picked up a brick and defended himself
from further attack, although the bears
had lost all tamenessand had become infuriated.
When pulled out the man was
covered with blood, but not fatally injured.
Weston's Victory.
About five thousand persons witnessed
the finish of the international
pedestrian contest in London for Sir
John Astley's championship belt, won
from O'Leary in New York by Howell
last March. Weston also won his bet of
$2,500 to $500 with Sir John Astley.
which was that he would make 550
miles?the best score on record.
Weston's last mile was made in eleven
minutes and twcntv-one seconds, and he
appeared (lien to he still in good condition.
He got ?2,000 as his share of the
gate money, which amounted altogether
to ?3,000. The following comparison

in eases of dandruff a preparation of one
ouneo of the Hour of sulphur and one
quart of water will prove eflicacious.
The two are put together, repeatedly
agitated at intervals of a few hours, and
then the water is drained off. The prc

There is nothing to clcanso an impure circulation
or wake up a dormant liver likoScovill's
Blood and Liver Syrup. It does the business
thoroughly in either cose, promoting active
bilious s ecretion, restoring to lho life current
the purity of perfect health and removing from
the cuticle disfiguring eruptions and sores.
Chronic rheumatism and gout also succumb to
its curative influence. For the diseases peculiar
to the gentler sex it is a capital remedy.

Speculation. I
Since the creation, it is estimated that -
."7,000,000,000,000.000 ImVe lived on the earth.
I'liis sum divided by 27,804,000, the number ol
square miles, gives 1,814,522,080 to it square |
rod, and live to it square loot. Suppose it
square rod he divided into eleven graves, each '
grave would contain 100 persons. But this is .
speculation, and of no benefit to 1 he 1,000,000,- j
000 people that now exist , 500,000,000 ol whom
are invalids, 38,000,000 dying each year. What
they most want are the tacts concerning Dr.
Tierce's Family Medicines. For years his
Golden Medical Discovery has been the standard
remedy lor the cure of all scrofulous, ,
throat and lung diseases. While for over a
quarter ot a century Dr. Sage's Catarrh lJetnedy
has been unrivaled as a positive cure lor
catarrh. The testimony of thousands of ladies
has been published, cci tifying that Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription positively cures the diseases
and weaknesses peculiar to women.
