i M 1 I I mmmtiim mtilSSSi 3 BlAKlNG PRIME CLOVER HAY. The aim should be to cut the clover JiOt later thau the stage o£ full bloom. If allowed to stand locHfer the sterna becooie woody and the heads and leaves break off to a considerable estent. This loss injures tlui feeding value of the hay, and to a considerable extent les- sens iis palatability. Second, it should be cured with the least possible loss of coloi- and aromo, writes Thos. Shaw in the Prairie Farmer. To effect this it must not be unduly exposed to the sunlight, and so far as ia practicable it should be cured by the aid of the wind. If allowed to lie In the sun untU the natural color id lost before it is raked, there is a ^reait loss in palatability, and the nutritive value is also lessened thi'ough the loss of leaves and hea<l8 in the proce.ss of rakinji^ and also in other ways. AVhen clover hay has been well cured, the color of the blossom, ia the same as when the plants were cut. If clover hay of thit character can be ob- tained, it is of rare value, since it may be looked upon aa being in itself almost a perfect food. But when many of the beads and leaves are broken off, and when the hay is brown rather than green, it is but an Indifferent food for live sto<'k. And third, the aim should be to shield the hay when being cured from the adverse influence of dew and rain. These wash out the substances which gives the hay its aroma and they also remove other valuable properties. It is evident, therefore, that the man who makea good clover hay must be up and doing "while the sun shines " and to this we may add, while the wind blows. The great sin of the western farmer in curing bay consists in allow- it to get overripe before it is cut, and overdry while being cured. In carry- ing on feeding experiments at our sta- tion, I find more difficulty from this eource than from any other. Nature in kindness gives men good hay, and they spoil it in the making. And the drier the weather and the brighter the sunshine, the greater ia the loss from this source. Farmers, it is a grievous loss ! It ia a loss that we cannot af- ford. As already stated, clover hay should not, aa a rule, be allowed to go beyond the blosauming stage before it is cut, and yet, in time of prolonged wet weather it may be necessary to let it 8t;ind longer, for clover hay cannot be made at such a li^e witnuut great loss, and if there must be loss the source first mentioned will be the least. Unless the weather is decidedly settled, a great quantity should not be cut down at one tmie ; and whether it should be cut in the fort noon or afieruoon will depend upon conditions such as relate to the succulence of the clover and the nature of the weather. If cut in the afternoon the dew of the following night will seldom do any serious harm, owing to the greenness of the hav. The tedder should be run over the hay aa soon as it baa dried somewhat, and when the crop ia very heavy, it may be necessary to run the tedder over the hay u second time to hasten the drying. R should be raked as soon as th« raking can be done without difficulty. Everyone who has raked hs^ wUl readily understand tiiat v?heu it la too green to rake, luore or leas difficulty will l)e experienced iu drawing it into windrows. When such difficulty is experieui-ed the hay is loo gret'n to rake. If the weather is settled the hay may lie in the win- drow for a lime and the curing pro- cess may even be coiupleted iu the win- drow. i3ut if then' is any real danger of rain, the hay should be put up into cocks. This part of the work should never be carelessly done when done at all. Clover hay does not easily shed rain at the l)«st, and when carelessly thrown into what may be termed heaps rather than cocks, it is in no condition to shed raia. The cocks should be kept highest iu the center when making them, should be oval rather thau cone shaped, and should b« trimmed ou the outside by stroking them down with the fork inverted, and the bay thus drawn down should be spread on the top of the cock. All this can quickly be done by willing hands, but men can also spend lots of time over it when they are so inclined. There is a great difference !«! ween cocks of hay and rot heups of hay. As soon aa tne hay is cured it should lie drawn with all expedition. It ia ready to draw when the heat, caused by fermentation in the the cocks, has subsided, 'this can \]e ascertained by running the han<l in toward the center of the cock. When the hand is withdrawn some of the hay may be brought with it. If ttie wisp thus withdrawn be twisted and the * Bllghleat indication of collected moisture appear the hay is not ready to draw. ^lo fixed time can be stated for allowing the hay to lie before tedding or raking, nor can any definite time Ije given fur allowing it to remain iu the cock. These things depend upon conditions, and can only oe foimd out to a nioety by experience. When drawing clover hay, iu some instan(>ea it may oe taken up out of the winurow with the forks or with the hay lo.idor. Hut usually the best quality of the same is made iu the oock. Sometimes the lower i>iirt of the cock is damp, while the other portion is cured. This may be left out a little longer after the top portion has l)een removed. Another way when the hay Is not quite ready is to open out the cocks by setting aside the upper half and overturning the lower ; an "hour or two iu tlie .sun when thus spread makes a great ilifterence. Clover hay may be successfully cured in the silo and alsio iu tho mow in the green form. But curing by either of these methods is not likely to iKHome very common at lejisl in the happy idississtpni valley where the weather Is ilry and bright, as a rule, when clover is to be cured. survived guch treatment. But for the remedy tor gapes. Place the chickens, Ijack down, l)e- tween the knees, ajid hold it gently ; open its bill and draw the tongue out; seize the lower mandible and tongue thus drawn out between the fore-fin- ger and thumb nail of the left hand. This will bring into view the opening into the windpipe at the l)ase of the tongue, into which gently insert the tutje of a small oil can and discharge a few drops of kerosene ; close the bill and hold the head still for a few sec- onc'j, then let the chicken go. It will i5ough and the worm will be coughed up or swallowed. The gapes will con- tinue for a time after the treatment, but the remedy will be effectual if properly applied. It may readily be re- peated, if needed, aa often aa necessary. After a little practice it is easily ap- plied and always succeeds. HAY, ROOTS AND BEAN. The great object of fattening is pro- duction of greatest quantity at the least coat in the shortest time â€" irres- pective of other conditioos, such slb man- ure value, of which we do not take ac- count alt present. In the natural or- der of this inquiry â€" after summer con- ditions â€" we should look for fodder that can be plentifully and cheaply produced for winter use, such as hay, straw and roots; many farmers give no more, but it is not usually looked upon aa other than are maintenance â€" growing* the bone and muscles of young animaU well enough, but slow at fattening. In this blanch of our experimental work we added bran to the hay and roots, but no other grain whatever, and, of course, the fodder in proportionately larger quantitiea than had grain l»en allowed. The result in cost and pro- gress hod been unexpectedly gratifying â€" something so good that one pauses to consider whether, irrespective of the value of manure, many of our feeders are not in error wilth so much grain and other forma of more concentrated cattle food. Five and one-seventh r>tinds per head per day. at a cost of centa per pound are alxjve the average of the whole seriesâ€" higher than sev- eral that had the like fodders with large rations of grain. It is possible in this example that vigorous youth got all it wanted to grow bone and frame. Necessarily it took much bulk of fodder to do so, for the cost is great- er than two examples on the card where various grains were plentifully sup- plied. This lesson is a go<id one, bow- ever, and bids us exercise greater char- ity than is common to those who pur- sue what is called the slower, or old- fashioned system.

He divides dreams into the dreams of health and the dreams that are the result of the diseased state of the mind or body. In regard to the latter it need only be remarked that persistent dreaming is one of the most mvariable symptoms of insanity, and it is a psy- chological fact if genitu Is near allied to nuulncss. men ot genius must be ex- pected to dream more than ordinary men. With regard to the dreams of health, they are the result of an unper- feet state of consciousness or an imper- fect state ot sleep, according aa we look at it. It is obvious that the mind of the clever man. that is constantly oc- cupied with many schemes and thoughts, is more liable to be awake when his body is asleep than that of the dullard, whose mind is often asleen when his l>ody is awake. Thus the sleep of the plowlxjy has become proverbial on so- count of its undisturlied nature. In most cases a man of lively imagination and quick brain Is undoubtedly more liable to dream than the dullard. HEART DISEASE OF FIVE YKARS' STANDING. Abaalalelj Cared hj Br.

Among Alpine accidents one of the moat awkward is that which occurs wrieu a portion of the party disappears on one side of the ridge, while the other portion remains behind. This species of .Vlpine adventure is not only excessive- ly disagreeable on account of the length of time that Is expended in extricating oneself from it, but may end fatally to all the party. The most thrilling incident of this sort that has ever occurred in the Alps is that which happened on September (i, 18T7, to a party composed of Mr. W. -V. Lewis, Mr. H. N. Patterson, with .N'iklaus, Johann and Peter Joseph Knul>el, who were ascending the liys- kamm by the terribly sharp Li's Joch (Eastern) arete, when the whole party fell headlong onto the Italian side of the ridge and were all lost. They were walking on the cornice ovorhiugiug to the south, which gave way with a mighty crash. Peter Jos- eph Knubel was the last to be carried down, and, as was evidenced by the fact that uis body was well-uigh cut in half by the tightening rope around his waist, he did hui utmost by throwing himself unto the northern aide of the ridge to stay the fall of the rest ot the party. The weight, however, of the remain- ing four was so great, and tl^ slope upon the side of the mountain upon which the cornice broke away waa so sleep, that the poor, brave fellow waa •merely pulled up to the crest of the arete to l>e drawn headlong downward on the other side, more than 1,200 feetl with the remainder of his unforluiiiite companions. The bodies o£ the three Knubels who were killed on this occasion lie buried in the churchyard at St. Nich- olas ; and, in some of its accidents, this is tlie most tei'rible ot all the Alpine accidents that have ever occurred. Another most awkward accident of Ibis class, though happily not fatal in its results, occurred in the Engndine. In the year 1878 a party, of which old Hans Grase was a member, were de- scending westward along the crest of Piz Palu. when the leaning guide fell down the slope of the northern side, an<t three of the parly of four were dangling on the rope, old Hans alone remaining on the riclge. He managed to hold the three (one of whom waa a lady), but it was not until the end of three quarters of an hour that the last ot the party was landed again ou the ridge. Hans received a sUver drink- ing-cup and a handsome new ice-a.x. given liiui aa souvenirs of his gallant prowess on this most critical occasion. THK MlDDl.E-AGED MEN.

From the Walkerton Teleai;ope. During the past five years the Tele- scope has pumlsheii many statements giving the particulars ot cures from the use of Dr. Williams' Pink PllU. They were all so well authenticated as to leave no doulit ad to their complete truthfulness, but had any doubt re- mained its last vistage would have been removed by a cure which has recent- ly come under our personal ol»servation. It is the cose ot Mr. John Allen, a pru- mini-nt youn^ farmer of the town- ship ot Greenock. Mr. Allen ia so well known in Walkerton and the vicinity adjoining it, that a brief accoimt of his really remarkable recovery from what seemed an incurable dinease will be of interest to our readera. During the ear- ly part ot the summer of lS9r>, Vvhile working in the bush. M>. Allen was seized with what appeared to him to lie rheumatic pains m the liack and shoulders. At first he regarded it aa but a passing attack, and thought that it would disappear in a day or two. On the contrary. however, he daily continued to grow worse, and it was not lon^ before he had to give up work altogether. From the l>ack the nains shifted to his right leg and hip where they finally .settled and so completely helpless did he be- come, that he was unable to do mi-re than walk across the room and then only with the aid ot crutches. Of course he consulted the doctors. Imt ULme of them .seemed a^'le to do him any good, ^'iple in speaking of his case, always spoke pityingly, it l^eing generally thought that be had passed from (be worlil of activity, and that he was doonie<l to live md die a cripple. We are free to confess that this was our own view of the matter, and our stir- prLse. therefore, can Ije readily imagin- ed when some few weeks ago, we saw this .self-same John Allen driving through the lowrt on the lop of a large load of grain. (Jreat h.)wever. as was our surprise at first, it became still greater when on arriving at the grist mill, he prix-eeiled to jump nimbly from the load, and then with the greatest ap- ixitrent eas*- began to unload the heavy Iwgs of grain. Curious to kumv what it was that had brought this wonder- ful change, we took t he first convenient opportunity to ask him. "Well," s;iid he in reply. "I am a.s well a man as 1 ever was. and I attrilmte my cure to Dr. Williams' Pink PilLs, and to nothing else." Mr. .\llen then gave us in a very frank manner, the whole story of his sickne.H,s. and his cure, the chief points of which we have set forth alxwe. After loiusultlng two physi- cians and finding no relief, he set:lled down to the conviction th.al his cttse wa.i a h<H)eless one. He lost confidence in medicines, :uid when it was .suggested that he should give E'ink Pills a trial, he at first absolutely refused. Htrw- ever, his friends persisted and finally he agreed to give them a trial. The effect was Iwyond his most .sanguine exj)ectatioiis, as the Pink Pills have driven away every trace of his |>ains and be is at>le to go alwuit bis work as usual. As might l)e e.\i)ecled Mr. Allen is K>u<l in his praise of Pink Pills, and was quite willing that the facts of hL-s case .should he given publicity, hoping thait it might catch the eye of someone who was similarly afflicted. l3r.
