n Important Agricultural Ibcovery. Everybody knows the value ol recti grass in tatteuius stock aud increasing the milk of cows. And most people know that from one to two-thirds of the substance and nu trition which the cattle find in their food comes direct.from the earth. It is also generally well known that dried fodder of every description is much lighter in weight and less in bulk thau the green stuff, yet it is ouly within the last two years that it has occurred to one in this coun try that if these three facts were put together, the conclusion would be reached that about one-half of all the food qualities of fodder are lost in the curing of it by the process of drying, aud that if it were preserved in a green state it would be twice as valuable for feeding in the winter than when dry. This has led to a further investigation of the fodder question, and some of our agricul tural papers have found that in France there is a perfect system of preserving green fodder in general upe, which had been introduced by the Freuch army on its return from Mexico iii 1SC7. The Mexicans in turn acquired this process of treat ing fodder from the Spaniards, who had learned it from the Romans. As practiced by the French the process is as follows: A cellar with stone or brick air tight walls is con structed ol capacity sufficient to hold as many tons as desired. This is called a hiIo, and it is filled with green corn-stalk fodder cut fine by chopping machines run by horse or fiteam power. Over the top of the corn stalks is placed a tight layer of boards, on which are placed stones, logs or other heavy weights until the fodder beneath is pressed into a compact mass, which being eutirely preserved from the air remains for several months in about the same condition of freshness as when cut, and id called ensilage. "When open ed iu the winter for the purpose of feeding stock, the ensilage is cut out with a hay knife aud is found to possess nearly all the eood qualities of new grass. Dr. John M. Bailey, of Massachusetts, was the first iu this country to make any experi ments with ensilage. In his report ou the subject he says that he found that he can raise from forty to seventy-five tons of sown corn stalk to the acre, which, when kept in a silo and fed to stock is the equivalent of Iroin twenty to thirty-seven aud one-half tons of the best timothy hay. He predicts that when silos aud ensilage feeding comes into general use "milk can be produced for one cent per quart, butter lor ten cents a pound, beef for fourccnt9 per pound, aud mutton for nothing, if wool beat thirty cents per pound." "Were Dr. Bailey not indorsed by the Pres't of the Massachusetts ag ricultural society aud the bureau of agriculture at "Washington, we sho'd not have given so much space to his wonderful claiui6. As it is, " the questiou of silos and ensilage is of the very greatest importantance to Bueli an extensive cheese and butter produciug couutry as we have in Northern Ohio. Cleveland Leader. ..earning; to Cook. A judicious mother will eo man age her daughters that even at the early age of thirteen they can, in an emergency, prepare "a meal of vic tuals." A thorough domestic train ing is very useful to a girl. At school, she always has a teacher or a fellow-pupil at baud to help her over hard places, but if she is set to make a batch of bread herself, aud attends to. it from the time the sponge is set till the loaves are ta ken, sweet, fragrant, golden-brown, Irom the oven, she learns meautime chemistry, caloric, perseverence.del icntc manipulation, self - reliance, neatness and acquires skill and the habit of carrying her work in Tier mind, as one act of neglect or for get fulness at any point oflhe proceBs may spoil the whole. Because some unwise mothers do not see iu the stated and skillful performance by their daughters of household servi ces a certaiu and valuable culture which cannot be acquired at school, they are willing to do themselves what iu justice and kindness to their daughters they should require of them. Hirls, left to their own devi ces, waste a great deal of time which might be utilized to their advantage. A girl who can climb trees, who can dance hours without fatigue, or jump rope (a very dangerous pas time, by the way), who cau take long walks, who can skate and row cau also sweep, and scrub and make bread, and wash, and frou, if she is encouraged to do eo. These are the accomplishments she must possess in .order to make a happy home, though she may have half a dozen servants at her call. Those who havo sufficient curiosity to in vestigate "this subject will fitfd that many of the most fatndTus' women in literature and art were as skillful iu those accomplishments considered especially as. they wero with the pen or pencil or chisel. In tnuuiiisr girls to be useful aud ready to meet auy emergency, mothers confer upon them au inestimable blessing. A Great Invention. A man living near Bloomfield, N J , has coutrived au arrangement, Fays The New York Sun, by the use of which he is enabled to get an hour or more of extra eleep iu the morning, and in other ways he finds it. of great beucfit. In many ways it takes the place of a domestic ser vant. The gentleman has thought out and put into practical working au idea that occurred to him about a year ago. He is awakened in the morning by a schrill whistle. He at once gets out of bed, lor he kuown what that whistle means. It tells him that all is ready for him to get breakfast. He dresses and gocB iuto the kitchen, and there he" finds a bright, fresh fire, a teakettle full of boiling water, and other conven itmces for preparing his morning meal. All this is accomplished by means of an alarm-clock with weights, a piece of wire, a sheet of sandpaper, and some match en. Paper, wood, and coal are put into the grate of his cooking-stove, and a teakettle filled with water.and laving a tiny whistle fitted into the uDzzle of the kettle, is placed on the stove. By settiug the alarm iu the clock he can have a lire at any time he wishes. "Whcu the alarm in the clock goes off, a weight falls and hits the wire; the wire moves and scrapes the matches fastened to it on the sandpaper; thamalches light the piper iu the stove, the paper fire the wood and coal, and soou a fire h under way. In a little while the water iu the teakettle boils, and then the tiny whistle gives the note of warniiig that everything is ready and it is timo to get up. "Simple thing, aud yet what a comfort it is," the inventor says. "There is no getting up for me now an hour before break last. The ar rangement costs next to nothing, aud it is as trustworthy as auything in this world. I have uot had it patented yet. Some persons advise me to, and perhaps I may. I haven't any for sale; got it up entirely for my own comfort and convenience, aud it has more than repaid me al ready. But just think, if it were in general use. it would save mauy hard w ords and do away with considera ble domestic unhappiiiess among poor people. Doubtless it might hive a tendency lo make a better fceliug between some men and their wives, by settling the vexing ques tiou as to who should get up in the morning aud build the fire. Out of this question alone many divorce suits grow, aud this arrangement would prevent them." Speaking or Pkayeu. A corre spondent not long since wrote, asking: "Why are not my prayers ans wered ?" "Wecaunot tell. It is not for us to know. Perhaps he prayed to a dead God. One created by creed .mongers who peddle the product of some inventor on shares. Perhaps he prayed for what would not fit him and would therefore be wasted. Perhaps he prayed for too many things at a time. He who at a post oflice asks for letters for all his neighbors at once will not be apt to receive more than one at a time. He who calls for a thousand men iu a crowd, generally calls in vain. He who prays for more thau one thing at a time does not know his wants nor how to pray properly. Jesus, the son of Siracb, aud grandchild of Jesus of the same name with him, was like Solomon, a man of won drous wisdom kuowu aud spoken of as Ecclesiastics, aaye, " Make not much babbling when thou prayest." To-night we pray. Not to escape hell, for we have no fear of it. Not for loug life, for that is to pray for more weariness. Not for riches, be cause we do not need them. Not for the praise of men, because this is not necessary. But we pray that we may be useful to our fellow men. A helper of God in the work of beau tifying the world.

Brick Pnme roy. ITliiterieN oTNclenve. Science is daily proving to us what a horrible world we live in. Our clothing is disease-breeding, our colored socks are poisonous, our bats produce headaches, neuralgia and baldness, the water we drink is tainted, the soap we use produces a thousaud ills, the air we breathe sends death pulsing through our veins, aud now a paper has proven to our entire satisfaction that the food we eat is adulterated, that we are in daily dauger of taking in sickness with our sugar and death with our bread. Yet if we subscribe to no scientific papers, but go quiet ly on our way, eating what we pleaRe, drinking what we can get, wearing what we have, and sleeping where we may, we will probably never have any qualms of the stom ach, and live as long and be as happy as the most scientific of scientists. "A kiss," said young Charles, "is a noun, we allow; but tell me, my dear, is it proper or common?" lovely Mary blushed deep, and ex claimed: "Why, now, I thiuk it both proper and common." Comfort ibr Old Maid. Old maids are useful. They can cook, sew and take care of the chil dren and nurse sick people, aud generally play the piauo. Old bach elors are useless. They do not even know how to drive nails or split wood. Old maids are amiable. If one wauts auything done that requires patience aud kindness of heart, a single lady is sure to be the one to do it. Old bachelors are ill-natured They snub children, despise babies and lmte young mothers, aud are always so busily employed iu seeing that other people tako care of them that they have not a moment to give to any one else. Old maids are nice looking, and "young lor their years." Old bach elors generally have red uoses, rheumatism in the knees, bald heads and mouths that turn down at the corners. Old maids can make a home of one little room, and they ctok deli cious meals for one over the gas jet, iu cunning little tiu kettles, besides making all their own wardrobes. Old bachelors need an army of tailors, waiters, cooks and distant relatives to keep them comfortable. When old maids aroill they tie up their heads in pocket handkerchiefs, take homeopathic pellets out of two bottles alternately, and get well again. When old bachelors are ill they go to bed anil soud for four doctors; have a consultation, a man tlepiece full of black bottles, all the amiable married men who belong to the club to sit up with them at night, besides a hired nurse; they tele graph to their relations, and do their host to persuade the world that they are dying. When an old maid travels she takes a sandwich, a piece of pound cake and a bottle of lemonade in a basket, aud lunches comfortably in the carriage. When an old bachelor travels he orders a meal in courses at the slution, and raves because he has no time to eat it before the "fif teen minutes for refreshments" has expired. Old maids drink weak tea, and it cures their headaches. Old bachelors drink strong liquor, aud it gives them headaches. Old maids are modest. They think their youth is over aud their beauty goue. If after a while some autum nal love is :iven them they take it as a sort of miracle, and hope people will not laugh at them for "marry ing so late in life." A llulut of Complaint. There are some unhappy people who are never .cheerful who are always under a cloud. Now we may be born with a melancholy temperament, but that is no reason why we should yield to it. There is a way of shuffling tho burden. In the lottery of life there are more prizes drawn- than blanks, and to one misfortune there are fifty ad vantages. Despondency is the most unprofitable feeling a man can hnve. One good, hearty laugh is a bomb shell exploding in the right place, while spleen aud discontent are a gun that kicks over the man who shoots it oil'. Then give over com plaining. Take outdoor exercise aud avoid late suppers if you would have a cheerful disposition. The habit of'complaint finally drops into peevishness, aiid people become waspish and unapproachable. Xo Time. "I have no time to devote to my children," says the business man, with a sigh ; for he really feels the privation of their society keenly. But the excuse is au insufficient one ; he shduld make time let other du ties go, for no duty is more im portant! ban that he owes his off spring. Parents should never fail to jrive the child such sympathy iu its little matters of life as will pro duce in its confiding mind that trust and faith which is a necessary ele ment in paternal iufluence. Filial afl'ectiou is a great safe-guard against evil influences, as well as a great civilizer to its possessor. Do uot forget, too, that the childish mind, iu process of developemeut, abso lutely needs the cheerful aud happy influences which are produced by amusements, as sure as the plant needs sun and light for its proper growth. Probably more horses are lost by colic thau all other diseases com bined, and one chief trouble in treat ing the disease is that many of the so-called remedies are either absurd or the ingredients are not available. A few weeks since we had a horse taken violeutly with flatulent colic, aud I started for a "horse doctor" a mile distant. O-i my way I recol lected having read in the Michigau Farmer, I think it was, of applying blankets wruug out of hot water, and I wished I had tried it before starling. My wife it seems, hid read the same- article, aud alter I had gone went to work in good "woman" earnest and applied the hot blankets, and when I returned in about half an hour she cameto the door laughing, saying: "Your horse is all right now," and snre enough he was walkiug around the yard entirely relieved. A dressmaker got mad because her lover serenaded her with a flute. She said she got all the fluting she wanted iu her regular business. A writer in tho Liucolu Journal discusses the U. S. Senatorial ques tion at considerable length. Iu closiug he says: "If a mau serves the public in as prominent a capacity as that of U S. Senator for six years, and even his adversaries dare not charge him with anything wrong, it is pretty strong evidence that his course has been about right; aud if he has been right for six years it i pretty good evidence that he will continue iu the right for six more, and we have but very few, if auy chances to run iu such a mau." Thl9 covers Senator Paddock's case exactly, and the Express is con fident that there will be enough good sense iu the forthcoming Legislature to take tho same view aud give him another term. No charges of any kind are made against Mr. Paddock. All admit his honesty and entire faithfuluess to State interests, and nearly every person acknowledge his ability. lie ha3 beeu right for six years. - He will contiuue right for six more if re-elected, something concerning which this paper has not the least doubt. The people there fore owe it to Mr. Paddock to re ward him for faithfulness iu the past, but owe it to themselves more particularly to retaiu a public ser vant who can serve them the best. This is the case in a nut-shell. Be atrice Express. Kvery Family, without Excep tion, Iu City, Village, aud Country, will find it highly useful to constantly read the American Agriculturist.

When the summer of youth is slowly wast ing away on tho nightfall of age, and the shadow of the path becomes deeper and life wears to a close, it is pleasant to look through the vista of time upon the sorrows and felicities of our early years. If we have had a home to shelter and hearts to re joice with us, and friends havo been gathered around our fire-Bide, the rough places of way-faring will have been worn aud smoothed away in tho twilight of life, and mauy dark spots we have passed through will grow brighter aud more beautiful. Happy iudeed, are those whose in tercourse with the world has not changed the tone of their feeling, or broken those musical chords of the heart whose vibrations are so melo dious, so tender and so touching in the evening of life. Think with Method. Under all the circumstances iu which you may be placed, tryiug or otherwise, thiuk as steadily aud clearly as your ca pacity will allow you to do ; compel your thought to bring you to Borne sort of conclusion, and then carry out the conclusion without consult ing any human being. Clear thought, continuous thought and silence all exercised on the daily trifles of life these habits, which are none of them difficult, will so harden the mind as in a very short period to make it incapable of indecision. "Little baby is very ill, Charlie ; I am afraid he will die." "Well, if he does die, mamma, he won't go to the bad place." "Why, Charlie, how can you know that?" "Oh, I know he can't, mamma; he's got no teeth to gnash." "I say, Clem," cried two disputing darkies appealing for decision to a sable umpire, "which is right diz aclly or dezactly ?" The sable mou arch reflected for a momont, and then, with a look of wisdom said, "I can't tell perzactly." A young gentleman was accusing another of having a big mouth. "Yes," said the other, "but nature had to make yours ao as to give you plenty of cheok." The air we breatho contains five grains of water to every cubic foot of hulk.
