Provide for Short p-nattirea. The Germautown Telegr iphmya there is nothing easier, to provide for short dasturoa in late summer and early autumn, thau to sow brotdcast one or two acres with corn. It can be done yet, and, even if it should not be required for feeding green, it can be cut and cured for winter-feeding, and for thu purpose every farmer knows that no dry foocf is superior to it or is enjoyed more by cattle; and evert hotsw, which eat it with the greatest relish. In fact, it is well known that in England, and we presume elsewhere, the leaves of corn btalks are preferred to all else in feeding to race-horses as i strcngthener of their "wind." Hence, in sowing an sore or two in corn, which can be used as green or dry food, thei'e can be no disappointment, as it can be fed in the green state if needed, or otherwise it can lie cut and cured for winter-feeding, and will thus be sure to bf of Value, and if necessary be on hand to meet an emergency. 'Mae Proper Tlnte lo ( at Orsuas. The report of the analytical chemist of tho Department of Agriculture, sum ming np the results o! analyses of nearly all the cultivated grasses, t ays : It ia apparent, then, thai in most cases the time of bloom, or thereabout, is the Attest for cutting grasses in order to obtain tho most nourishment and the largest relatively profltab5e crops, and for the following reasons i The amount of water lias diminished and the shrink age will therefore be less. The weight of the crop will lie largest in proportion to the nutritive value of its constituents. The amount of nitrogen not present as albuminoids will be at its lowest point; fiber will not bo so excest ive as to prevent digestion, and the nutritive ratio will be more advantageous. H cut earlier, the shrinkage is larger, although the fiber is less and the albamen i3 a little larger. Tbe palatability tnay bo increased, but the total nutriment to the acre will not be so large, and tbe nutritive ratio wiU be more abnormal. The disadvantages of late cutting are evident in tho increase of fiber, destroying the digestibility of the nutriments, and the failing off of the albumen by conversion into amides. This is not made up by the large orop out, Hint on Potato Cmttarw. An Ohio correspondent of the Country Gentleman communicates 6 ome excellent ideas on the raising of iiotatoes. He applies the manure to thu land in the fall iu the form of well.roi,ted compost, and tho following spring hr. works it into the soil by the aid of a cultivator, barrow, or other implement, He nses a roller to break down lump?, and works the surface of the soil sn thoroughly before it is plowed that t ie manure is thoroughly incorporated vith it, and every portion is mellow. He plows about nine inches deep, Sid plants his seed about midway betwea i the surface of the soil n::d tho bottom cf the furrow. By that means the roots of the potato plants have an opportunity to spread and grow in soft, mellow earth. He remarks that the roots of jotatoes grow downward, or laterally, nd that the practice of planting them at '.he bottom of a hard furrow is not oonduci to to a vigorous growth. Several inches of soft soil should be below the tubers, so that the roots may spread through it, and about the same amount of pulverized soil should be above them, so that the new tubers can have an opportunity to expand in all directions. He raves pota

toes for tho market, and aardmgly endeavors to raise large, far specimens ths twill command the highest price. By planting at the depth mentioned he secures white tubers. For seed he selects large or medium-size 1 tubers that have large, strong eyes. He keeps his seed potatoes where they will not sprout and lose their strength, enl cuts them into pieces that contain bat a single eye. At the seed end one good eye is left on, and the others out olf and thrown away. Oreat care is taken in doing this work. By management lit e the above he raises not only larsre crops, but large potatoes, that sell when common potatoes are a drug in the market. Hew Style of Com Cultturo. Mr. I. Su Winter, of Montgomery, Ala., is introducing and experimenting with a novel and interesting syHtem of corn culture. It comes from rather an unfavorable location to command respect and attention m the North, yet the world does not knov all that is worth knowing even in corn culture. His system consists entirely in planting in rows radically widor apart than the geuerol practice. After experimenting on a small scale, in former years, he says he tried again last year by putting down in corn, twenty or more oores, in rows twelve feet wide, and a foot apart in the drill ; and, notwithstanding the prevailing and unusually disastrous drought, the orop realized wns double the host grown on the land fcr years, and twice that grown on the infinitely richer adjoining bottom lands ou tivated with equal care, but planted, in the ordinary mode, and ordinarily producing double the crop usual to the land devoted, as

stated, to the experiment; the increased return evidenced by bigger and more ears to the given number of stalks being greatly due, at toast, to the better ventilation and increased exposure of the growing orop to the geni at influences of the sun. Mr. Winter confidenily introduces tbe philosophy of this system -f cropping, that with better opporl,uniti as of ventilation, and with only ono-fif th of the space occupied, yet the entire productive force of the whole tract t-tilt enlisted in iti interest, it yields largi ly-inoreased crops. He pleads for the better view and consequent better supervision practicable of the crops and th labor employed in advancing them ; the diminIshed exposure to incursion )f every description consequent; the. increased comfort assured to man a ad beast engaged in the orop ; the shi illower and more effective cultivation pi ictioable, of the wider spaces witlt even the widest harrow and necessary even i t the later stages of the growing irn c rop to avoid iutreferenoe with th conitleos little rootletsfaithful little omia -arie, venturing, under the cnoour igement of thorough original culture with plow.

harrow and roller always rjcmpouaatinK indefinitely away, in dutif il search of sustenance for the parent plant ; and which it were unpardonable to wantonly wi0- .

There may no some'iumg to tuts tueo-

ry, ana it may oe wen ior careim ana prudent fanners in the North to test this plan. But, as .ass ofran been reDiarked, be not rash in the e vlent of such experiments until its l eneflts are fully proven. Mr. Winter is very sanguine of gteat profits resulting from his discovery. In Iowa corn rows twnlve feet apart would look lonesome. But Baron Leibig says, the only inethxl by which you can feasibly advance and develop agriculture is by experiments. Dvt JUolnet 2iag li ter.

SfAlA tw They Betrlri Life Of tks different wjrtB of Nortli Aaatio seals all bat twfJ artf migratory that is to say, the whole body of thetn move from nortli to south each autumn, and back from south to north each spring. The annual routhward journey of the restless harp fal furnishes a vivid picture of these gTeot migrations which are so prominent a feature of polar history. Keeping just ahead of tbe " making " of the ice, or final freezing np Of tho fiords' and bays, at the approach of winter they leave Greenland and begin their passage southward along the coast of Labrador, freely entering all tilt) gulfs and bays. They appear first in small detachments of half tt dozen to a score or more of individuals ; these are soon followed by larger companies, until in a few days they form one continuous, procession, filling the sna aa far as the eye can reach. Floating With the Arctio current, their progress is extremely rapid, and in but one short week the whole multitude has passed. Arriving at the Straits of Bolleisle, some enter tho gulf, but the greater body move onward along- the eastern portion of Newfoundland, and thence outward to the Grand Banks, where they arrive about Christmas. Here they rest for a month, and then they turn northward, slowly struggling against the strong current that aided them so much in. their southward journey, until they retch the great ice fields stretching from the Labrador shore far eastward a broad continent of ice. During tho first half of March, on these great floating fields of ice, are born thousands of baby seals only one in each family, to be sure, bnt with plenty of playfellows close by all In soft woolly dress, white, or white with a beautiful golden luster. The Newfoundlanders call them "white-coats." In a few weeks, however, they lose this soft covering, and a gray, coarse fur takes its place. In this uniform they bear the name of " ragged-jackets," and it is not until two or three years later that the full colors of the adult are gained, with tbe black cresccntic or harp-like marks On the back which give them the name of " harps." The squealing and barking at one of these immense nurseries can be heard for a very long distance. When, the babies aro very young, the mothers leave them on the ice and go off ia search of food, coming back frequently to look after the little ones ; and although there are thousands of the small, white, squealing creatures, which to you and me would seem to be precisely alike, and all are moving; about more or less, the mother never makes a ink take nor feeds any bleating baby until she has found her own. If ice happens to pack around them, no that they can not open holes, nor get into the water, the whole army will laboriously travel by floundering leaps to tho edge of the field ; and they show an astonishing sagacity in discerning the proper direction. It is supposed they can smell the water at a long distance. Sometimes great storms come, breaking the ice-floes in pieces and jamming the fragments against one another or upon rocky headlands, with tremendous force. Beside the full-grown seals that perish in fuch gales, thousands of the weak bab:.es are crushed to death or drowned, notwithstanding the dauntless couruge of their mothers in trying to got their young out of danger and upon the firm ice. And it is touching to watch a mother-seal straggling to get her baby to a safe place, "either try laying to Bwim with it between her forafiippers, or by driving it before her and tossing it forward with her nose." The destruction caused by such gales is far less when they happen after the youngsters have learned to swim. Does it surprise you that seals, which are constantly in the water, have to learn to swim? Well, it might stagger the seals to be told that men have to be taught to walk. The fact is, a baby seal is afraid of the water ; and if some accident, or his mother's shoulder, pushes him into the surf when he is ten or a dozen days old he screams with fright and scrambles out as fast as he can. The next day he tries it again, but finds himself verV awkward and soon tired; the third day he does better, and before long he can dive and leap, turn somersets (if he is a bearded seal), and vanish under the ice, literally " like a blue streak," the instant danger threatens. But he hod to learn how to begin with like any other animal. JSrn&it Sngertoll, in St. Nicholas. Soman Costumes. Mr. Frank D. Millet, in his lectures on " Bon an Costumes" at the National Academy of design, described the costumes of the women, after the period when they exehonged their heavy, cumbersome ones for the light, easy, graceful dress of the Greeks. The lecture was illustrated with a subject attired iu

the robes of the time of which Mr. MUletspoke. The different kiuds of tnuics and girdles, tho stola, and the palia were exhibited, and the classic arrangement of the d ress wns shown and clearly explained. Mr. Millet said that the women spent half their time in dressing, aud iu the brief space of his lecture he oould not gis'tt an adequate idea of the beauty of their dress. Women of high station were attended by as many as 200 slaves, each of whom had her part to perform. One did nothing but hold the glass and breathed upon it to show that it was clear. The women were particularly foud of led wigs, and the redder the wig the greater its value. Thev also wore blonde 'trigs, and blackened their own hair. To preserve their complexions they applied a paste oi rice and bean flour, wtuoh, in addition, was supposed to keep wrinkles out of the skin. No face ponder was used, but paint was freely applied. One recipe for paint required, t ctat it should be mixed with the saliva of the slave who put it on, and she was not allowed to eat before the operation. The ingredients were of a vegetable nature, and harmless. Patches aud false and filled teeth were fashiouable. Perfume was .nsed to a great extent, and tbe hair was powdered. Some women wore sixteen rings, but none on the middle finger, and many had different rings for every day in the year. Necklaces were the commonest ornament worn, and cost as high aa $50;000. Balls of amber were carried because they were cWiliup and exhaled a refreshing odor. Hartnlces snakes were likewise curried for the same purpose. Mr. Millet explained that the bodies of snakes are coal in the hottest weather. Somo doubt hud been expressed about handkerchiefs being employed. They were

given by Generals and persons of high

rank to be waved nt the theater. The discovery in tho last century of a silver toilet set weighing 1,000 ounces, proved that the toilet must have been elaborate. Boys, Thouah we venture to cleave to the
