THE GOLDEN SUMMER DAYS.
With a warp of snii-threatl* golden
And a weft of purple r.r’n,
Nature, as in seasons o.den.
Weaves the Summer’s rob,- a^ain.
Ever brighter, richer, fairer, •>
Grows the marvel of her loom,
As she adds, to grace the wearer,
Fruitful wreath and floral plume.
Welcome. Summer! come to win ns
From our woes, with song and sheen.
How the weary hearts within us
Freshen in thy flood of green !
How the sou! her wings uncloses,
Soars all sordid cares above,
As from lips rf opening roses
Pouts the perfume-breath of love 1

Hat Making.—As the season for ma
king hay is approaching, vve will give a
low words of caution in advance. Don’t
dry your hay too much. Hay may be
dried until it is as worthless as straw. As
u good coffee maker would say, “don’t
burn your coffee, but brown it;' so we
say, don’t dry your hay, but cure it. Our
good old mothers who relied upon herb
tea instead of “potheenry medicine,” gath
ered their herbs when in hlossoin, and
cured them in the shade. Tins is the phi
losophy of making good hay. Cut m the
blossom and cure in the shade. The su
gar of the plant, when it is in bloom, is
in the stalk ready to form the seed. If
the plant is cut earlier, the sugar is not
there; if later, the sugar has become con
verted to woody matter.
Hay should be well wilted in the sun,
but cured in the cock. Better to be a lit
tle too green than loo dry. If, on putting
it into the barn there is danger of “heating
in the mow,” put on some salt. Cattle will
like it none the less.
Heat, light and dry winds will soon take
the starch and sugar, which constitute the
goodness of hay, out of it; and with the
addition ofashower,render ilalmosi worth
less. Grass cured with the least expos
ure to the drying winds and scorching sun
shine, is more nutritious than if longer ex
posed, however good the weather muy be.
If over cured it contains more, woody fibre
and less nutritive matter.
The art of hay-making, then, consists
in cutting the grass when the starch and
sugar are most fully developed, and before
they are converted into seed and woody
fibre; and curing it up to the point when
u win uuswei iu jiui u in me uaui wiuiuui
heuling, and no more.

Farmer’s Omnibus.—There are 5
pounds of pure sulphur in every 100 pounds
of wool.
Carrots consume 199 pounds of lime to
to the acre, turnips but 90 pounds.
A cubic foot of common arable land will
hold 40 pounds of water.
It takes 5 pounds of com to form one of
beef. Three and a half pounds of cooked
meal will form one of pork.
To add one per cent of lime to soil that
is destitute of it requires ten pounds of
slacked lime to six of caustic to the acre
Clay will permanently improve any soil
that is sandy or leachy. Lime and
leached ashes will always benefit ieachy
land.
A ton of dry forest leaves produces only
500 pounds of mold ; hence 500 pounds of
mold will produce a ton of plants.
Clay applied to sandy land is far better
than sand to clay land. 169 tons to the
acre will give an inch irf depth.
Pure phosphorus is worth from $4000 to
$5000 a ton; and as it comes from earth
it shows how scarce it is.
A rich mold formed by rotting clover is
worth more than the same number of
pounds of clover, 400 pounds of dry
plants will yield one hundred pounds of
mold.
Swamp muck, or peat, wheu dry, will
take up, without dripping, four times its
own weight of water. Hence the neces
sity of thorough drainage.
Limestone land retains the heat the
longest, black, peaty soils radiate the heat
most rapidly, consequently cool soonest,
and are first to experience frost.
--
Sam Houston Ratification Meeting
at Houston, Texas,—In the Houston
(Texas) Telegraph we find some signifi
cant remarks, made by the Hon. A. M.
Gentry, at the meeting of the friends of
Sam Houstou. to approbate his candidacy
for the Presidency. Mr. G. said “ he
__TT. i_I__
ted Sam Houston twelve months before in
the market house. He had been to Bal
timore, but not as a delegate to the Union
Convention. He had heard it was a
Union meeting, but soon found it was
composed principally of broken down party
hacks, who were trying to resusciiate the
old Whig party. He told them Houston
would not receive the nomination at their
hands, but if they would recommend him
the people would ratify their action.''
What do the Bell and Kverett men think
of this delineation of their Convention?
Mr. Gentry further said that “ Maj. An
drew Donelson told him that Houston
would beat Bell five thousand votes in
Tennessee.” A fearful admission for the
advocates of lion. John Bel! ! What do
the Bed I men think of their champion giv
ing aid to the followers of Sam. Houston ?
Has it come to this, that Houston can
beard the lion of the Iguorers m his very
lair ? Do they thus acknowledge the
weakness at home of their chosen-candid
date?—[Nashville Union.
Time to Go to Bed.—Joseph was a
bad bov. He had succeeded in blinding
his mother for some time as to his imbib
ing propensities. One night Joseph came
in before the old lady had retired. He
sat down, and with a look of semi-intoxi
cated wisdom, began conversing about the
goodness of the crops and other matters.
He got along very well until he espied
what he supposed u be a cigar on the man
tel piece ; lie caugut it, and placing one
end in his mouth, began very gravely to
iight it at me candle. He drew and puff
ed until he was getting red in the face.—
The old lady’s eyes were opened, and she
addressed him :
•■If thee lakes that ten-penny nail fora
cigar, it is lime thee weal to bed.”
—.A physician, who lived in London, vis
ited a lady who resided in Chelsea. After con
tinning his visits for some time, tile expressed
an apprehension that it might be inconvenient
for him to come so far on her account. ‘’Oh 1
by no means!” replied the doctor; -I hev«
another patient i:i the neighborhood, and 1 al
ways set. out hoping to kill two birds with oao
•tone.”
