GRASSES.

"'Grasses, said distinguished philos-
opher, are Natures first care" They
are the most general, extensive, and
hardy, of the earth's productions. They
are nearly of endless variety, and adapted
to almost every climate. They endure
the trampling of men and beasts, the
browsing of cattle, the parching drouths
of Summer, and the SHOWS and ice of
winter; and spring into new and often
more vigorous life, under influences
which to other plants would prove de-
structive.
On mountain tops, where the warmth
of the summers sun is not sufficient to
ripen their seeds, they live by their roots,
and with thick clustering leaves protect
these roots, producing thereby the den
sest and most beautiful verdure. And it
is reported by one writer, that, for the
preservation Of the grasses in those To-
calities where the ripening of their seeds
is important, the wild beasts, guided by
a remarkable instinct, leave untouched
the stems that support the flowers. Do
not the profusion of grasses with which
the earth is clad, and the laws which SO
remarkably preserve them, indicate that
they are worthy of the special attention
and culture of those for whom the earth
Is ordered and established in fertility and
beauty"
81 regard it as a well settled principle
that there are, in every country, indigo
; nous plants which, when their qualitie:
are fully understood, are precisely those
which are designed by benefcent Prov
, ldence to furnish the proper elements 70,
the support of animal life. The sam,
principle prevails in relation to soils, ant
their capacities to support vegetable life
Ciay' sand, mari, and shell, lying in clos
proximity to each other, afford to the in
telllgent farmer or planter, the means q
. increasing and preserving the fertility @
the land.

names Of our indigenous grasses hav
been ascertained, we cannot be ignoran

stock, and the number and condition OF
the wild animals of our forests and pral-
ries.
aOn the spurs and slopes of the Rocky
Mountains, and on the head waters OF
the Red river of the north, immense
herds of buffaloes subsist on kind OF
grass which retains its freshness through
out the winter, and which remains green
and nutritious while other grasses OF the
plains and valleys are dried up by the
heat and drouth of summer"

ADAM CLARK ON DANCING.-I long

but at last allowed myself to be overcome.
L grew passionately fond of it. And

did not love work, imbibed a spirit of
idleness, and, in short, drank in all the
brain sickening effiuvia of pleasure
Dancing and company took the place of
reading and study; the authority of my
parents was feared but not respected, and
few serious impressions could prevail in
a mind imbued with frivolity. Yet 1 en-
tered no disreputable assembly, and in nc
case kept improper company. Never
theless, dancing was to me a pervertino
influence, an unmixed moral evil. I con.
slider it breach of that worldly educa.

from things spiritual to things sensual
and from God to Satan. Let them plead

From the New England Farmer
SOUTH DOWN SHEEP.

Mr.. EDITOR In answer to L. III
mons second question, 1 would say the
Sorth DoDn sheep combine as many
GOOD qualities as any that are adapted to
our soil and climate. "The South Down
will subsist on short pasture, but well re-
paws full feeding, it attains early maturi-
ty. is hardy and prolific, frequently pro-
ducing two at a BIRTH producing wool
Of fair medium quality, and to my eye,
the most beautiful in form of any sheep L
know. The bucks of this breed seem to
be more particularly adapted to crossing
with our common mixed merinns than
those ofthe other kinds of 'Emutton sheep
The first cross of this kind usually pro-
duces an animal very similar to the South
Down, in form and disposition to fatten !;
and, if the ewes are fine wooded, with
quite and improved fleece. Some of the
incest sheep I know, are what I will call
South Down merinos, being large, hand
some, and excellent nurses, and yielding
good feeces of wool.
The quantity of grain that sheep re-
uurire varies so much, depending on the
condition of the flock at the comm ence-
ment of the foddering season, that no def
mite rule can be given; no animal is more
ready to repay, with interest, good care
and generous keeping. AS general
rule, about one gill of Indian corn per
day, with good hay, will be sufficient, but
if early lambs are wanted, perhaps half a
pint per day would be better, until the
Landing season, when oats would should
be substituted, as they are not SO heating.
You may gradually increase the quantity
to nearly quart per day, if you want
very nice lambs, and if the ewes can have
roots in addition, so much the better.
Early lambs, from sheep fed and managed
in this way, will bring, at four months
old, pretty nearly five dollars per head.
Lambs that are droppee late can be raised
much cheaper, but the market for such is
not good.
The Leicesters, Cotswolds, &c, are
l much in favor with some, and are doubt
!, less good kinds Of sheep for some parts
) Of the country; but am not in favor o.
:, over large breeds of animals for New
L England. Were I to name the kinds o.
stock for a farm, I would say a Morgan
5 horse, Devon or native cattle, South Down
sheep, Suffolk pigs, and Dorking or native
fowls. By native fowls, mean those
P old-fashioned fowls that were generally
S found on most farms in New England
thirty years ago. But I am getting Of
from my subject, and will stop before ]
getto writing my dislike of all over-growl
: combinations of ugliness and bones.
J Rye for early spring feed would n
d doubt be good for sheep and lambs.

A PETRIFIED INDIANA party of
Indians having made an incursion on a
settlement of emigrants of all ages and
nations, one Of the elders, Monsieur Per-
rot, caught the general spirit of the af-
fray, and, as afterwards said of himself,
I" fought like famished lion p when, I'M
luckily, his pistol snapped in the face of
a Sioux warrior, who struck him blow
that felled him to the earth. Stepping
lightly over the form of his PROSTATE foe,
the savage, grasping a knife in his right
hand, and Selling the luckless French
mans hair with his left, was about to
scalp him, when the knife dropped from
his hand, and he stood for a moment
petrifed with establishment and horror.
The whole head of hair was in his left
hand, and the white man sat grinning be-
fore him with smooth and shayen
crown. Letting fall what he believed to
be the scalp of some devil in human
shape, the afrighted Sioux fed from the
spot.

KEEP THE BEST STOCK.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Waltham SEN
tiuel communicates the following valua-
BILE statements in regard to the profits OF
milk raising -
"Is this business, at the present prices
of food for animals, remuneratlve one
What does it cost to keep the COW, and
how much milk will she yield annually !
To answer these questions accurately re-
quires perhaps more knowledge on the
subject than the writer possesses. From
some experiments and calculations, L
have come to the conclusion, with the
present high prices of food for COWS, one
dollar a week is as low as a COW can be
kept in the best order for giving milk
Of course I expect to give the animal
something more than pasture feed in the
summer, for hold it to be poor economy
to depend on pasturage alone.
IF we call the keeping $500
~NNA-
The loss by deterioration, disease,
interest on the cost, &c, is about $1,000
MAKING for whole expense $4,000
The manure pays for the labor.
The next question is, what quantity OF
milk should a good COW, well kept, pro-
dace in year? I answer a superior
COW, well kept, should yield POO quarts
per year. This quantity at four cents a
quart, which is about the average price
at the barn, would amount to $108-
which gives profit of SAG to a COW.
A farmer at this rate would make
$3.50 on dairy of ten cows. This for
single article of farm product looks as
though the business was profitable one
and that the producers are getting too
high prices for an article of such prime
necessity to every individual of every
family, whetherrich or poor. The above
is the paper account Of the matter, but
can be realized BY knowledge and skill,
as will show bye and bye.
Now for the practical results. have
a dairy of ten cows, and by looking over
my account of sales, and estimating the
quantity used in the family, I find my
COWS have averaged about 1900 quart:
to a COW. The five best cows, I have NJ
doubt, have yielded 1000 quarts each
e while the other five have not averaged
over 1900. Two of the latter class are
heifers with their first calf, and three ar
poor mixers, and should have been sen
to the shambles. The milk of the fv,
. best COWS has amounted to $50 to a GOV
. for the year, while the other five hav
averaged bue $48-the first five yieldin;
profit of $18 each, while the loss OF
/ the other five has been $14 each. Ha
> all my COWS been equal to the five bes
their milk would have amounted to $50
whereas L realized but $640-that i
by having FIVE poor cows, I lost nearly a
the profit on the dairy.
Now would ask my brother farmer
if this statement does not accord wit
their own experience to considerabl
extent. Farmers cannot afford to kee
