Turning Cut Straw into Hay.

A method of using cut straw is adopted in Cambridgeshire and adjoining counties, whjcfij~s?wortMy the-notige- of agriculturists elsewhere, as it Is stated Hint by means of it the value pf the -straw as food is greatly increased. The method pursued ibtoe comitieaacfoeatod to is this: Unless the.straw can be cut as it is threshed, siflipg out all the imperfectly cut, and having povered’ the floor of a capacious room—say the mow of a bam—about a foot tliipk with it> lay thereon, in two or three heaps —say six to eight bushels in each—chopped tares, clover, grass, nfcttlee, or any succulent that will ferment (on these some partied pour a few gallons of boiling water), and cover them immediately with the cut straw, which must be well trodden down as the process of filling proceeds, iforing which salt, in the proportion of about a quarter of a cwt. to a top of chaff, way be sprinkled in. The consolidation must be strictly attended to, and it is best to have a number of boyswitfl jLtflah constantly anff slowly trayersing tne mftes as it rises, so that the chaff may,lf ifossibre.beddHiprtsfiedaetightly as hops in a pocket In the course of a few days fermentation will set in,land probably continue fbr three or four weeks; the degree ‘of heat may be ascertained by thrusting an iron rod to the centre of the rnaes; aftijyjit hMHuksided the chaff will have acquired the scent of hay, and will’keep fo f;*, n X length .of time. In some cases where dover* or -other green vegetar Wtoaw.not available, oqjy salt is added, and some use a hair cwt. of salt to a ton of chaff.

Hod yoo aakt for qroney, yoo mile not hev got it • but advice I—Lord bless yoo that’s the cheapest -commodity I ever delt In. Advicß is one ar|icle uv wich I’ns clear to say ‘‘it’s more breaeed to give than to rececvc.” I hev a iellow'ieelin with the Dinißcrisy uv Kentucky. Kentucky, Delaware, and NooTork istheonly landmarksuv Dimocrisy that we hev left. The ragin flood .uv Ablishenism Jiez swept over all the rest uv the States, and on these three Aryrats the Dimocratic ark rests. Troo, w« occasionally carry Connecticut, but ite an expensive process. The fare from Noo York to Noo Haven is suthin like three dollars, ami the repeeters uv this • city hev become extorshunatc in the'r demands. They will repeat their votes in the city atitwq dollars per vote, for there ■bein so miny wards, they kin go in wagons from one ward to another quickly. An industrious and hard-workin repeeter in this jcity kin make S2O to S3O per eleckshun day; but to go to Connecticut, they say, is another thing. They can’t possibly V»te more than twice in one day, and they hbv to hev high pay per vote to indoose em to go. Therefore we can’t count on Connecticut ’ceptin when the ishoos are suffishdnt uv nashnel importance to make the carryin uv the State uv absloot necessity. But Kentucky and Noo York kin alluz be splinted on. Kentucky started into politikle life on the nigger idea some centrist ago and Kentucky never changes. She is troo to her idees, or rather her idee, tyr she hez but one, Noo York is In the ‘same boat, but tor a different reason. We are Democratic here becoz we are com polled to be. The merchants are divided into twb classes, rich Republikins, wich we love to tax, and rich Democrats who go for Southern trade, and for that trade submit to taxashen. This makes it good for the active men uv the party, uv my class. t .We furnish the vote, they pay the taxes,' and everything goes smoothly. Tlys: principal trouble with yoo is—yoo ant got enuff Ablishnists to tax.'- Yoo 'cant alluz live on what yOo Kin wring out uv Pollock and them niggers at Garrettstown. Yoo shood git some more uv the perdoosin class among yoo. The idee is to git jlstkrnutf perdoosersto supportyoo, , but not enuff to out-vote you. Don’t think uveomin to Noo York. We . -don’t want yoo. Es yoo hed money yoo wood be reseeved with open arms, for we want to increese the tax pay in populashen, but ez yoo hevn't money why yoo weod only make one more to divide wot we hev. The workiq Democrisy uv this city are ■ divided into two classes—contractors and offis holders wich spoil the tax payin ■ PhiUistines, and grocery-keepers, wich flnelly get the money they steel, Don’t come. Yoo hevn’t the talent for a barkeeper nor the ability to steel enuff to keep yoo. I can’t tuppert yoo. Don’t I come. Wot yoo prinsipally want to do in Kentucky is to hold out manfully agin the ■iggeij. The Fifteenth Amendment will be ratified, and I sposc the nigger will ' hev legally the rite to vote, but you kin still keep him from it. The nigger is a beast, an inkubus, an animal. No decent Kentucky gentleman I don’t care whether he wears shoes in .the summer or not—kin think tor a,'moment uv assoshatin with ’em «n any terms uv ekality. When niggers vote in Kentucky, it’s high time . for her Jthite inhabitants to leeve the State and go where ther is that politikle exclusiveness wich hez bin so long the foundashen uv the Republic. At the Corirers, yoo, Capt. McJ’clter, Bascom, Issaker Gavitt and Elder Pennibacker, ought to be able to rally enulf strength to keep him by force from polfootin the ballot box. Pollock and Joe Bigler will, uv course, leed ’em; but yoo must show a bold front and file if needs be. Amerikin liberties must not be endangered by permittee every body to vote. Then the State Legislacher kin assist yoo greatly. They must pass laws perhibitin railways from passhi north and south, that there may be ez little communicashen with the Northern States er possible. Then let 'em pass bills prohibitin em from sittm on joories; from testifyin in courts in cases in wich white men shel be cither plaintiff or defendant, or hev any other intrest; and also perventin uv em from petishnin legislachers for any purpus watever. Pertikelerly mustyoo setyoor faces agin anything like a fref skool system, for es they learn to read they will circumvent yoo somehow. Es you do hev to hev skools, at least make cm only for whites. But I woodent hev the skools at all. I hev notist that where skools is the plentiest and best there does Ablishunism most abound. Compare Massychodsets with Kentucky, for example. . Father McGrath, who sits reglerly With the lately in my back room, is opposed to a]J skools cept them wich the Holy Catholic Church controls. He sez unauthorized learnin is a dangerous thing And he adViscs strongly agin admittin uv it into Kentucky. Father McGrath hez a skool wich the State pays for, into wich he teeches jist.slch thing ez he considers safe for the people to know. He is a deliteful man and alluz pays his bills.

They may develop so “much strength ez to force their way to the ballot box anyhow, in which event the Democracy will want em to vote with them. Treet em kindly till yoo see how it will go. I woodent go so fur ez to marry-em, but it wood do well enuff to okkashenally drink with em, es yoo kin ever ketch em in Bascom’s wher yoo hev credit. Treet em with that qualified politikle courtesy wich will make it consistent for yoo to either press em in extacy to yoor buzzums, or to bust their heads, ez events may determine.

The Catholic Church is prepared to take em on a eltaiity, and will go tor em. Uv course when the church gels em they will count jist ez much for us ez tho they hoi every main uv em, bin born in Ireland. ’ I reely don’t know what to advise. This nigger question is perplexiu. Es yoo are certin yoo kin keep em from ever volin why skelp em. By holdin em ez an inferior class, you kin keep the Dimocrasy strate by givin em somebody taaboose. Es on ’tother hand they are like to have votes why make men and ’ brothers uv em to-wnnet and marry among ew tz soon ez possible.

How to Kill Root Lice.

Boil cheap tobacco, or the stems, in water; after the strength has been extracted from the tobacco, skint Miut the items and leaves, and to each bucket full of the water, add, say one quart of soap. When the soap becomes mixed, and the decoction sufficiently cooled, it is fit for, use. A good plan is to take a barrel to contain the mixture to a central part of the ground where the trees are to be planted, and when one lot ot trees are taken out for planting, another lot may be ptfl in. In thiii way, with but little loss of time, the trees will be immersed long enough to kill all the lice there may be on the roots. Tree roots, once free from lice, may he kept so by painting the trunks above ground-each year with boiling hot soap. This should lie done in the month of June, when it will answer the double purpose of keeping away the lice, and preventing the apple tree borers from depositing their eggs. The soap put upon the trunks of trees while it is not strikes into the bark, and is not soon washed .out Make a liberal use of the soap at the base of the trunks, as it is at these parte that the teperda prefers to lay its eggs; and just below the surface, it is, that root lice assemble before going upon the roots for the winter.— Prairie Farmer.

Fields, Osoood £ Co., publishers, Boston, Post-masters and other persons throughout the country arc in daily receipt of speciously worded circulars from Oroide Watch dealers in New York city, to invest, or to act as agents, • for some so-calle‘d celebrated Oroide Watch. Our readers will save themselves, and perhaps their friends, from humbuggery in this matter, by remembering that Oroide is simply a high sounding word for braju, and that Oroide fc bra&— only brass and nothing more. The brass is tinctured with some preparation to prevent its coloring, and is.called Oroide, but the value per pound is the same as the original brass. In a suit brought against a New York nnn, by the National Watch Company, for advertising Elgin watches C. O. D., numerous Express agents throughout the country made affidavit as to the worthless character of most of the watches sold by C. O. >. advertisements, and of the numerous class of Oroide Watches sent out by Express from New York. The Agent at Madison, Wis., testified that *‘ of all of that class of Watches that had passed through his hands, he had never known one to prove worth a five dollar note, and that tho purchasers were invariably dissatisfied, and considered themselves swindled.” Other Agents testified from practical observation to the same effect. In view of the” light thus thrown upon the Oroide Watch business, we trust none of <jur readers may be taken in - by those circulars. If a person is inclined to buy , a watch, let him go to a dealer whom he knows, and can hold responsible, and buy a. watch of known character and of value, such as those made at Elgin, 111., Roxbury and Walthgm, Mass., and by the best Swiss makers” i,hey are all good, and will all last live times as tong as the Oroide watches. It ccrlaipiy is a better investment to pay twice as much, snd gt?t a valuable article, than it is to pay out money and have a piece’of brass to show for it.

The Season and its Dangers.

The human body is chiefly composed of tissues and fibres as sensitive to every change in the condition of the atmosphere as the most delicate electrometer, or the quicksilver in a barometer tube. The stomach, the skin, the nerves, the lungs, and the excretory organs are especially liable to be affected by these variations, and the beat defense against thei r disastrous tendency is to keen the digestive machinery, which feeds and nourishes the whole system, in good working order. If the stomach is weak or disordered neither the blood nor the bile ctln bo In a healthy state, and upon the fitness of these two important fluids for the offices assigned to them by nature, and the regularity of their flow, health in a great measure depends. When the air is heavily laden with chilling vapors, as it often 4s at this season of the year, the digestion should be an object of peculiar care. If It is weak and languid, the whole physical structure will be enervated. Il it is vigorous, the entire or ganlsatiop will be strong to resist the untoward and depressing influence of a damp and Vitiated atmosphere.

A pure and powerful tonic is therefore especially needed as a safeguard against the diseases most common in the spring, and Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters being t he most wholesome and potent med icine of the class at present known, a course of It is particularly advisable at this period of the year. The stomach will thereby be toned and strengthened, the liver and bowels regulated, the nervous system braced up, and nature put in a state of active defense against the miasma which superinduces intermit tout and remittent fevers, rheumatisms, nervous debility, headache, hypochondria and other complaints which arc apt to assail the untoned and unfortified organizations. The body is strengthened without exciting the brain, and consequently no unpleasant reaction follows Its reviving and renovating opera'ion.

Balsam you sent me to use among the afflicted poor In my city missionary work has proved very acceptable and useful. It has gone into several families, and with remarkable effect In every instance. One woman has been restored from what her physicians pronounced consumption, after several months* sickness with cough, great pain in the lungs, and prostration. bo that she is able now to do housework and assist In the support of her family, and with care and continued use of the Balsam she expects enttip restoration. Another person, a young woman to whom I gave one bottle, has received great benefit, so that her cough, which was es months* standing. Is getting better, and she has purchased the second bottle, and has every Indication of a speedy cure. A young man who was ratting blood, and quite weak and sick, has, by the use of two bottles, been much Improved, and Is able to do a Uttle at his work. A yonng man to whom I recommended atrial of It, who has had a bad cough, and much pain in his lungs for months past, ana unable to get rear ox sleep, has commenced taking It, and is now using the lourth l otUewitb groat benefit He said to me on a recent visit, he would not do without it. He is hoping (and reasonably it seems to me) to be able to resume his work again. Very respectfully and gratefully yours, CHARLES A. ROUNDY, City Missionary. J. N.
