State, the present winter.This condition of things, it will be perceived is the result of a sudden change from moist, warm weather, to dry, hot weather.The stalks could vot ripen well under such circumstances.\u2018To ripen well, it ia especially necessary that the process should be a slow one, aud this can be accomplished only afier à long, w et spring, followed by u gradual drought.I'he saccharine juices are then matured and hardened.For workiug cattle and horses such hay is by far the best.To give them such hay as most of us have, is much like giving a lumberman sponge cake for his dinner, justead of his pork and beans.For a farrow cow we should always like some early cut hay, even if it took more of it, but for a solid, durable quality, let the juices be partially hardened before cutting, The second bloom is probably.the best time, and is generally recogoized by farmers, A varetul observation of the past season in its effects on the hay crop affords an instructive and siriking les- sun.Economy in its use will certainly be necessary or many farmers will be compelled to buy hay the coming spring.Winter set in very early.Iu the northwest portions of the State it hus been constant sleighing sivce the eighth of November.Two years ago sheep were not brought to the barn till the teuth of Decomber.During the last mouth the suu did not cause the snow to yield but one day in the same vicinity, a circumstance almost without a parallel.We think that most of the Lay cut last year may be measured out to stock without their suffering essentially.This is a muiter

\u201cMany a thoughtful farmer, who watches his hay-mows as well as his cattle nud sheep, will ootice that the hay disappears with unprecedented rapidity.The hay is \u2018very bulky,\u2019 but a forkful of it is light, The truth of the matter is that the value of the hay crop vf \u2018Vermont the past season is less than usual, by a large per cent.\u201d He agrees with the Maine Farmer as 10 the cause, and adds that the Kuglish grain filled badly, aud in many cases the straw rotted io the field befora or after cutting.lu view of the necessity of the closest economy in the use of all kinds of fodder, lie suggests that\u201d experiments be made in cutting and steaming, particu- iarly stulks, straw, &e\u2014 New England Farmer.corn eet Unrnorrtacre Damy Cows.\u2014It is extraordinary how

to December, lind better be made into beef as soon as possible.There is too much of a hap-hazard system pursued in breeding and rearing animals from our native stock, which under proper management can prodnce good dairy cows, averaging a yield of 8 to 12 pounds of butter per week each for eight months iv the year.\u2014 Canada Furmer.Periods of Gestation.The following table and remarks are

observations of M.Tessier, of Paris, in 582 mares, * * the shortest period was 287 days, and the longest 419, making the extraordi- pury difference of 182 days, and of 89 days beyond the usual term of eleven months.The cow usually briegs forth in about nine months, and the sheep in \u2018five.Swive usvally farrow betweeu the 120th and 140th day, being liable to variations ivfluenced appareatiy by

incubation of birds, ara yet unknown to us.From some carefully collected and very extensive notes made by Lord Spencer on the period of gestation of 764 cows, it resulted that the shortest period of gesation when a live calf was produced was 220 days, and the loug- est 315 days; but he was uuable to roar any calf produced at an earlier period than 242 days.Frem the result of his experiments it appears that 314 cows calved before the 284th day, und aud 310 calved after the 285th, so that the probable period of gestation ought to be considered 284 or 285 days.Io most cases, therefore, between nive and ten months may be assumed as the usual period, though with a bull calf the cow has generally boen observed to be about 41 weeks, and a few days less with a female.Any calf produced at av earlier period than 260 days must be considered decidedly premature, aod auy period of gestation exceeding 300 days must be cousidercd irregular; but in this latter case the health of the produce is not affected.Mr.C.Hillard, of Northampton, states that the period of gestation of a cow is 284 days, or, it is said, niue cal- eudar months and nine days; the ewe 20 weeks ; the mare 11 months.The well-bred catile of the present time appear to me to bring forth twins more frequently than the cattle of fifty years ago.The males of all animals, hares excepted, are larger (han the females.Castrated male cattle become larger beasts than entire males.PREVENTION OF SHRINKING IN FLANNELS.\u2014A correspondent of the London Field says: \u201cIn washing flannels, or other woolen articles, have the suds ready prepared, by boiliug wp and so dissolving small pieces of soap iu rain water, withont soda: but do not use the suds when boiling; let them be luke-warm only when the articles are put in.The flanvels should uot be rubbed with a large piece of soap, nor should the material itself be rubbed, as iu washing liven, &e.; the fibres of the wool contain numberless little hooks, which the robbing koots together; hence the thickening of the fabric, and cousequeut shrinking in dimensions.Well sluice the articles up and down in plenty of suds, which afterwards squeeze (not wring) out.The American clothes-wringers (consisting of apair of india rubber rollers, between which the chothes pass) are a great improvement upon haod labor.as, without injury to the fabric, they squeeze out the water so thoroughly that the article dries iu considerably less time thao they otherwise would do.After rins- sug, squeeze out the water, nnd dry in the open sir, if the weather is such as to admit of the articles drying quickly; if not, dry in a warm room, but avoid too close proximity to a fire, Let any dust or mod be beater out or brushed off prior to washing.\u2014 Auva

distinction between the word womanly and womanish.Womanly is almost a reverential epithet.It implies gooduess, tenderness, fidelity.\u2014 \u201cUnwomanly rags\u201d was the strongest phrase Hood could find for expressing u garb which unsexed its wearer.Au uowomanly woman means à monstrosi- ity ; while true womauly pity, or real womanly sympathy, is a something which goes straight to the heart of all who have suffered, or are suffering.\u2014 To be womanly is cousistent with talent and genius, though there are many clever women whose womauliness is uot preemivent.In short, to be wo- mauly should be the first grace of wo- mao; aod the epithet, if applied to men, na it is in rare instances, and under circumstances which are exceptional, conveys an impression of goodness of heart, of a nature unspotted by the world, and of trustworthiness uu- sullied und complete.Womauish is the reverse of all (bis.It conveys the Oriental or brute notion of woman; puppets, coy, frightened, useless,

Quicasts of Poker Flat, A STORY or LIFE LE CALIFORYIA.As.Mr, Joba.\"Oakhurst, .gambler, stepped into the main street .of Poker Flat on the \u2018morning of the twenty- third of November, 1850,'he was conscious of a change in its \u2018moral _atmosphere from the preceeding night.Two or three men, couversing earnestly together, censed as he approached, and exchanged significant glances.There was a Sabbath lull in the air, which, in a seltlement uoused to Sabbath influences, looked ominous.Mr.Oakhurst's calm, handsome face betrayed small concern at these indications.Whother he was conscious of any predisposing cause, was another question.\u2018I reckon they're after somebody,\u201d he reflected ; \u2018likely it's me.'\u2014 He returned to his pocket the handkerchief with which he had been whipping away the red dust of Poker Flat from lis neat boots, and quietly discharged his mind of any further conjecture.Iv point of fact, Poker Flat was \u201cafter somebody.\u2019 It liad lately suffer: ed the loss of several thousand dollars, two valuable horses, and a prominent citizen.It was expericocing a spasm of virtuous reaction, quite as lawless and ungovernable as avy of the acts that had provoked it.A secret committee had determined to rid the town of all improper persons.This was done permanently in regard of two men who were then hanging from the boughs of a sycamore iu the gulch, and temporarily in the banishment of certain other objectionable characters.I regret to say that some of these were ladies.It is but due to the sex, how- aver, to state that their impropriety wus professional, and it was ouly in such easily established standards of evil that Poker Flat ventured to sit in judgment.Mr.Oakhurst was right in supposing that he was included in this category.À few of the committee had urged hanging Lim as a possible example, and a sure method of reimbursing themselves from his pockets of the sums he had won from them.\u2018It's agiu justice,\u2019 said Jim Wheeler, \u2018to let this yer young mau from Roaring Camp-\u2014an entire stranger\u2014carry away our money.\u2019 But a crude sentiment of equity residing in the breasts of those who had been fortunate coough to win from Mr.Oakhurst, overruled this narrower local prejudice.Mr.Oakhurst received his sentence with philosophic calinness, none the less coolly, that be was aware of the hesitation of Lis judges.Ile was too much of a gambler not to accept fue.With him life was at best an uncertaiv game, and he recognized the usual percentage in favor of the dealer.A body of armed men accompanied the deported wickeduess of Poker Flat to the outskirts of the settlement.\u2014 Besides Mr.Oakhurst, who was kuowu to be a coolly desperate man, sud for whose intimidation the armed escort was intended, the expatriated party consisted of n young woman familiarly known ns \u2018The Duchess; avother, who had gaived the infelicitous title of \u2018Mother Shipton,\u201d and \u2018Uncle Billy a suspected sluice-robber and confirmed drunkard.The cavalcade provoked no comments {rom the spectators, nor was avy word uttered by the escort.Only whew the gulch which marked the uttermost limit of Poker Flat was reached the leader spoke briefly aod to the point.The exiles were forbidden to return at the peril of their lives.Co As the escort disappeared, their peut up feelings found vent in a few hysterical tears from \u2018The Duchess,\u2019 some bad language from Mother Shipton, aod a Partheian volley of expletives from Uncle Billy.The philosophic Gakhurst ulone remaived silent.He listened calmly to Mother Shiptov\u2019s desire to cut somebody's heart out, to the repeat- sd statements of \u201cI'he Duchess\u2019 that she would die in the road, and to the alarming oaths that seemed to be bump ed out of Uncle Billy as he rode forward, With the easy good humor characteristic of his class, hie insisted upon exchanging his owo ridinz-horse, \u2018Five Spot,\u2019 for the sorry mule which the Duchess rode.But even this act did not draw the party into any closer sympathy.The young woman re-ad- justed her somewhat draggled plumes with a feeble, faded coquetry ; Mother Shipton eyed the possessor of \u2018Five Spot\u2019 with malevolence, and Uncle Billy included the whole party in one sweeping anathema.Tbe road to Sandy Bar\u2014a camp that not having as yet experienced the re- geuerating influences of Poker Flat, cousequently seemed to offer some iu- vitation to the emigrants\u2014lay over a steep mountain range.It was distant # day's severe jourmey.In that: advanced season, the: party soon pansed out of the moist, temperate regions of the foot-hilla, into the dry, cold, bracing air of the Sierras, The trail was var- row and difficult.; At noon the Duchess rolling out of her saddle upon\u2018 the ground, declaréd'hér intention of going ne further, and, the party halted.The spot was singularly wild and tempt.EE impressive, A wooded amphithiphter,

undoubtedly the most suitable spot for camp, had camping been advisable.\u2014 Bot Mr.Oakhurst knew that scarcely half the journey to Sandy Bar was accomplished, and the party were not equipped or previsioved for delay.\u2014 This fact he pointed out to his companions curtly, with a philosophic com- meutsry on the folly of \u2018throwiug up their Laud before the game was played out.\u2019 But they were fursished with liquor, which in this emergency stood them in place of food, fuel, rest, and proscience.lu spite of his romonstran- ces, it was not long before they wore more or Jess under its influence.Uncle Billy passed rapidly from a bellicosc state into one of stupor, tho Duchess became mandlin, and Mother Shipton suored.Mr.Oakhurst alone remained oract, lonuing against a rock, calmly surveying them.Mr.Oakhurst did not drivk.It interfered with a profession which required coolness, impassivoness and presence of mind, and, in his own lau- guage, he \u2018couldo\u2019t afford it.\u201d As Lo gazed at his recumbent fellow-exiles, the loneliness begotten of his pariah.trade, bis habits of life, his very vices, for the first time seriously oppressed him.He bestirred himself in dusting his black clothes, washing his hands nod face, and other acts characteristic of his stndiously neat habits, and for a moment forgot his annoyance.Tho thought of deserting his weaker and more pitinble companions never perhaps occurred to him, Yet le could not help feeling the want of that ex- cilement, which singularly enough was most conducive to that calm equanimity for which he was uotorious.ile looked at the gloomy walls that rose a thoueand feet sheer nbove the circling pines around him ; at the sky, omiu- ously clouded ; at the valley below, already deepening into shadow.Aud doing so, suddenly he heard his own name called.A horseman slowly ascended the trail.Ju the fresh, open face of the new-comer, Mr.Onkhurst recognized Tom Simson, otherwise known as The Inuocent\u2019 of Sandy Bar.He had met him some months before over a \u2018little game,\u2019 and had, with perfect equanimity, won the entire fortune\u2014amount- ing to some forty doliars\u2014of that guileless youth.After the game was finish- y Mr.Oakhurst drew the youthful speculator behind the door and thus addregsed him: \u201cTommy, you're n good little man, but you ean\u2019t gamble worth a cent, Don't try it over again.He then handed him his money back, puslied him gently from the room, anil #0 made a devoted slave of Tom Sim- son.There was à remembrance of this iv bis boyish nnd enthusiastic greeting of Mr.Oakhurst.Ile had started, he said, to go to Poker Flat to seck hix fortune.*Aloue\u201d No, not exactly alone ; iu fact\u2014a giggle\u2014he had run away with Pivey Woods.Didu\u2019t Mr.Oukhurst remember Piney?She that used to wait on the table at the \u2018L'em- perance Ilouse?\u2018They had been eu- gaged a long time, but old Jake Woods had objected, and so they had run away and were going to\u2019 Poker Flat to be married, und here they were.Aud they were tired out, and how lucky it wus they had found à place to camp and company.All this The Innocent delivered rapidly, while Piney\u2014a stout comely damsel of filteen\u2014emerged from behind the pive tree, where she had been blushing uoseen, and rode to the side of her lover.Mr.Oakhurst seldom troubled himself with sentiment.Still less with propriety.But he had a vague idea that the situation was not felicitious, \u2014 He retained, however, his presence of mind sufficiently to kick Uncle Billy, who was ebout to say something, and Uncle Billy was sober enough to recog- uize in Mr.Oukhurst's kick n superior power that would not bear trifling.\u2014 He then endeavored to dissuade Tom Simson from delaying further, but in vain.He even pointed out the fact that there was no provision, nor means of making a camp.But, unluckily, \u201cThe Innocent\u2019 met this objection by assurivg the party that he was provided with an extra mule loaded with provisions, aod by the discovery of a rude atternpt at a log-house near the trail.\u2014 \u2018Piney can stay with Mrs.Oukhurst,\u2019 said The Innocent, pointing to the duchess, \u2018and I can shift for myself.\u2019 Nothiog but Mr.Oakhurst\u2019s admonishing foot saved Uncle Billy from bursting into a roar of laughter.As it was, he felt compelled fo retire up the canon until he could recover his gravity There he confided the joke to the tall pine (ress with many slaps of his leg, contortions of his face, and the usual profanity.Bat when he returned to the party, be found them seated by = fire\u2014for the air had grown strangely chill and the sky overcast\u2014in apparently amicable conversation.Piney was actually talkiog ia an impulsive, girlish fashion to the duchess, who was listeniog with an interest and anima- tion-shé had not shown for many days.The Innocent was holding forth, apparently with equal effect, to M.Oakhurst aod Mother Shipton, who was actually relaxiug into amiability.\u201cIs this yer dd picnic?\" said Uncle Billy, with iuward scorn, ns he surveyed the sylvan group, the glancing fire-light and the tethered animals in the foMground.- Suddenly an idea mingled with the alcoholic fumes that disturbed his braiu.It was apparently of a jocular nature, for he felt impelled to slap his log again aud cram his fist into his mouth, As the shadows crept slowly up the mountain, a slight breeze rocked the tops of the pine trees, and monved through their loug and gloomy aisles.The ruioed cabin, patched aud covered with pine boughs, was set apart for the ladies.As the lovers parted, they uu- affeotedly exchanged a parting kiss, so honest aud sincere that it might have beon heard above the swaying pives,\u2014 \u2018Tho frail duchess aud the malevolent Mother Shipton were probably too stunned to romark upon this lust evidence of simplicity, end so turned without & word to the hut.The fire was replenished, the men lay down before the door, aud in & few minutes were asleep.Mr.Oakhurst was a light sleepor.\u2014 \u2018Toward morning he awoke benumbed nod cold.As ho stirrad the dying fire, the wind, which was now blowing strongly, brought to his cheek that which caused the blood to leave it\u2014 snow ! He started to his fect with the intention of nwakening the sleopors, lor there was no time to lose.But turning to where Uncle Billy had been lying he found him gone.A suspicion leaped to his brain and a corse to his lip.He ran to the spot where the mules bad been tethered ; they were no longer there.\u2018The tracks were already rapidly disappearing iu the snow.The momentary excitement brought Mr.Oukhurst back to the five with his usual calm.He did not waken the sleepers.Tha Innocent slumbered peacefully, with a smile on his good- humored, freckled face; the virgin Piney slept beside her frailer sisters ns sweetly as (hough attended by celostrial \u201cWoon No.1807.guardians, and Mr.Onkhurst, drawing his blauket over his shoulders, stroked liis moustachion aud waited for the dawn, It

\u201cif you're willing to board us.If you nint\u2014nnd perhaps you'd better not\u2014you can wait until Unele Billy gets bnek with provisions.\u201d For some oceult renson, Mr.Ouklinrat could not bring himsell to disclore Uncle Billy's raseality, and so offered the hypothesis that he had wandered from the camp and had necident- ally stumpeded the animals.Ie dropped a to the duchess and Mother Shipton, who of eourse kuew the facts of their associate's defection.\u201cThey'll find out the truth about ns all, when they find out anything,\u2019 he added, significantly, \u2018and there's no good frightening them now.\u2019 Tom Simson not only put all his worldly store at the disposal of Mr.Oukhurst, but seemed to enjoy the prospect of their enforced seclusion.\u2014 \u2018We'll have a good camp for a week, nod then the spow\u2019ll melt, and we'll all go back together.\u201d The cheerful gaiety of the young man and Mr, Oskiurst calm infected the others.The Inuo- ceut, with the aid of pine boughs, extemporized a thatch for the roofless cabin, and the duchess directed Piney in the re-arrangement of the interior with n taste and tact that opened the blue eyes of that provincial maiden to their fullest extent.\u2018J reckon now you're used to fine things at Poker Flat said Piney.The duchess turned away sharply to conceal something that reddened her cheeks through its profession- ul tint, and Mother Shipton requested Piney vot to \u2018chatter.\u2019 But when Mr.Oakhurst returned from a weary search for the trail, he heard the sound of huppy laughter echoed from the rocks.He stopped in some alarm, und his thoughts first naturally reverted to the whiskey\u2014which he had prudently cached.\u2018And yet it dos\u2019t somehow sound like whiskey,\u2019 said the gambler.It was nof until he caught sight of the blazing fire through the still blinding stormpand the group around it, that he settled to the conviction that it was \u2018square fun.\u2019 Whether Mr.Oakhurst had cached his cards with whiskey is something debarred the free access of the community, Feannot say.Jt was certain that, in Mother Shipton\u2019s words, he didn\u2019t say cards onze during that eve.niag.Haply the time was beguiled by an accordbon, produced somewhat os- tentatioudly by Tom Simson, from bis warning pack.Notwithstanding somes .diffieul- whieh the cnstoways still clung.\u2014 Through the marvelously clear air, the amoka of the pastoral village of l\u2019o- ker Flut rose miles away.Mother Shipton saw it, and from a remote pinnacle of her rocky fasinoss, hurled in that direction a final maledictiou.\u2014 It wns her lust vituperative nitempt, and perhaps for thal reason waa inves- sed with a certain degree of sublimity.Te did her good, she privately informed *Fust you go out there sud cuss.nud She theu set herself 16 the task of emnsing \u2018the child,\u2019 us «he and the duchess were plensed to Piney was no chicken, hut the duchess, see\u201d enll Piney.it was a soothing and ingenious theory of the pair to thus account for the fuct that she dido\u2019t swear snd wasn't improper.When night crept up again through the gorges, the reedy notes of the ac- curdeon rose and fell io fitful spasms and lang-drawn gasps by the flickering camp-fire.But music failed to lf entirely the aching void left by insuflie- ient food, and a new diversion was proposed by Pincy\u2014story-telling.Neither Mr.Oakhurst nor his female companions caring to relate their persoonl experiences, this plan would have failed too, but for The Innocent.Some months before he had chanced upon a stray copy of Mr.Pope's ingenious translation of the Iliad.Ife now proposed to varrale the principal incidents of that poem-\u2014baving thorsuzhly mastered the argument aod fairly forgotten the words\u2014in the current vernacular of Sandy Bar.Aad so for the rest of that night the Homeric demi-gods again walked the earth.\u2018Trojan bully aod wily Greek wrestled in the winds, and the great pines in the canon scemed to how to the wrath of the son of Peleus.Mr.Oakhurst listened with quiet satisfaction.Most especially was he interested io the fate of \u2018Ask-leels,\u2019 as The Innocent persisted\u201d in denominal- ing the \u2018swift-footed Achilles.So with small food and much of Homer and the accordeon,.a week passed over the heads of the outcasts.The run again forsook them, aud agaio from leaden skies the snow-flukes were sifted over the land.Day by day closer around them drew the snowy circle, until at lust they looked from heir prisun over drifted walls of dezzliog white, that towered twenty fect above their heads.It became more and more difficult to replenish their fires, even from the fallen trees beside them, now balf-hidden in the drifts.And yet nd} one complained.The lovers turned.from the dreary prospect and looked into each other's eyes, and: were happy.Mr.Oakhorst settled himself, coolly to | the losing game.before him.Thé duchess, more chegbfl {han \u2018she, bad |!
