did not allow this conduct from them, and
they seemed to understand It pretty well
too, for ho had never boon able to eatoh
them at it. Yet there was unmistakable
signs of mischief ou the part of some mem•

something. Getting up a little earlier than

1 In every pttbli^ation devoted to the in-

intervals the stereotyped warning to boys
to guard against the mistake of leaving
the farm for the city, " Don't leave the
farm." " The city is full of vice," " Dan-
ger lurks at every corner of the city."

its hard work, its comforts and discomforts,
and I also know oity life, its dangers, its

Olover Ray.
Tho value of clover hay as food for horses,
mulch cows and sheep, is underestimated
because it is too often improperly oured.
Very many practical farmers do not be-
lieve the 0tatemellt of the scientists that
atom makes a nearly p ration ra '
on '
for a
hors's at light
work,and not a few
say. that
Y
they do not want he hay at all, To all
such the fotiowing suggestions are offered
by the Prairie Farmer:
When the clover is barely in full bloom,
Os and before ten per cent, of the heads tura
brown, cut a toe and cure it in the empty
barn mows, This will test the matter as to
the feeding strength of clover, I know it
to be a fact that such hay wilt be preferred
by horses tort good pasture, and eaten with
nearly the same relish as oats, Clover at
this stage oontains a hitch per Dent, of rioh
digestible food, and is very palatable.
Of course much hay 0a111100 be made after
this fashion, but it i0 worth while for any
Ir, doubtol' to take this trouble to find out the
possibilities of clover as a feed. Then he
will see that tit dilibretoe between such
feed and the hay as usually made is a mat•
ter for which he is in a great degree re•
sponsible.
Probably half the feeding value of olover
is usually lost by the common methods of
handling it. The hay is allowed to get en.
tiroly too ripe when it etanda until nearly
all brown and the steme become woody and
the loaves and heads lose their sweetness.
More hay can be made by late cutting, but
tits quality is seriously impaired—so much

hay is much stronger food than timothy

the top ie badly burned and the leaves are

from dust, cannot be made in showery
weather, as it should be cured in the wins

Raising Grain,
The condensed statement here given is of
results obtained one 0ea0011 only, at the
Pennsylvania experiment elation, and it is
toot to be taken as necessarily applying to
other seasons o1• conditions. It will apply,
however, to Ontario ina eimilat' eea8on,
Sowing oats at the rate of from five to 18
peok0 per acre, did notmateriahy affect the
yield of grain, The thicker the sowing the
earlier Otto onto ripened and the loss rho
quantity of straw per aore,
Applying ten tots of yard manure per
acro increased the yield of oats on rather
poor land from 45 to 00 bushels, a gain of
450 pounds of grain increased the yield of
'straw 1,000 pounds, With comparatively
dry weather eluting the early growth of the
oats there was no tendency to lodge.
Giving more than ordinary preparation
to the soed•bed slid not materially increase
the yield of either oats or barley. Plowing
the seed•bod produced batter results than
any method of preparing seedbeds in this
oompact soil without plowing.
A somewhat better yield of oat was ob-
tained by sowing April 15, which was the
usual time of sowing oats this season in this
Imlay, than by earlier or later sowing.
Satisfactory results were obtained by sow-
ing any week in April,
Plowing land six inches deep, which Inas
been in timothy and clover one year, gave
better results with corn titan shallower or
deeper preparation of the seed -bed, both in
the quantity of grain and stover.
Coro from a fifteenth acre plot, which
had no stirring of the soil after the corn
was planted, but merely had the weeds re-
moved by scraping the surface with a hoe,
yielded 47 bushels of shelled corn per aore,
while sly plots cultivated with the ordinary
cultivator, three, two inches deep and three,
four in0lras deep, yielded about 5S bushels
per aore.
Cultivating as nearly as an ordinary rid-
ing cultivator could be made to do ft, two
or four Inches deep, did nut materially affect
the yield.
Planting the ordinary medium maturing
dent corn, at the rate of ono kernel every
six inches, in rows 42 inches apart, gave a
larger yield of grain than thinker or thinner
planting. Planting at the rate of one ker.
net every three inches gave 2,500 pounds
more stover and 1,850 pounds less ears. The
yield, when planted at the rate of one
kernel every 0 or '12 inches, Wes consider-
ably less of stover and somewhat leas of
grain from a much less number of ears. The
quantity of stover produced decreased with
the thickness of planting.
The method of distribution, whether one,
two, three, or four kernels were planted
per hill, dfd not affect the yield so long as
the thickness of planting remained the
same.
Topping the cora decreased the yield of
grain, as compared with allowing the corn
to ripen on the standing stalks without
mutilation. The weight of ears was do.
creased 540 pounds per aore, while the total
weight of tops was 1,050 pounds per meta.
The tope were from one•fourth to one-third
the total stover' and about one•eight the

When the whole plant was out and
shocked the yield of ear corn was 188
pounds per aore less than when the yore

ation of depth for 1,2010 miles. The extra.
ordinary flatness of these submarine pastries

tical ilfaf/rssfur• as rather a 8alleer or

tinent which the ocean has overflowed. An

.4. Little elrneully Over the Seizure by
Ctutorns °titters or Some Lobster 1,149•
A 80. John's, Nfld., special says:—The
French warship Naiade, the flagship, with
Admiral Lameronx, arrived here_ Sunday,
intending to remain till after the 14th inst.
She left suddenly Monday evening to the
great surprise of all, as there was an ar•
rangemeut made by Govenor O'Brien for a
state ball on Wednesday. French Consul
Des Isles had also issued invitations to a
garden party in honor of the Admiral's ar•
rival. I learn this morning that the sudden
denature of the Admiral was owing to the
refusal of the Newfoundland Government to
surrender goods seized at Bay St. George.
These goods consisted of 400 cases of lobster
cansjimported in British bottoms by French
packers. The Admiral has demanded the
surrender of the property, but the New.
fotndland Government, claiming that the
seizure is in accordance with law, refuses
this request, and they uphold the deter•
mined stand taken by the customs officers
who made the seizures. In consequence
Admiral Lanloreux has left this port with-
out any oancellatiot of his engagements en.
tered into in a social way. The French
ships it is said, have none to Oho Bay of St.
George, the scene of the seizure.

The French Admiral yesterday morning
had a conference with the Governor and the

tura of the goods. The Governor refused,
and he gave 0110311 until 5 o'clock in the
afternoon for a final answer. None arriv-
ing at that hour, he hoisted his anchor and
loft the port, refusing to attend a dinner
arranged in his Rotor that evening and a

NERVOUS DISE A ES•
A0 a cure for every class of Nervous Diseases, no remedy has been
able to compare with the Nervine Tonic, which is very pleasant and
harmless in all its effects upon the youngest child or the oldest and most
delicate individual. Nine -tenths of all the ailments to which the human
family is heir aro dependant on nervous exhaustion and impaired diges-
tics. When there is an insufficient supply cf nerve food in the blood, a
general state of debility of the brain, spinal marrow, and nerves is the
result. Starved nerves, like starved muscles, become strong when the
right kind of food is supplied; and a thousand weaknesses and ailments
disappear as the nerves recover. As the nervous system must supply all
the power by which the vital forces of the body aro carried on, it is the
first to suffer for want of perfect nutrition. Ordinary food does not con-
tain a sufficient quantity of the kind of nutriment necessary to repair
the wear our present mode of living and Iabor imposes upon the nerves.
For this reason it becomes necessary that a nerve food be supplied.
This South American Nervine has been found by analysis to contain the
essential elements out of which nerve tissuo is formed. This accounts
for its universal adaptability to the euro of all forms of nervous dee
rangement.
