Manuring Grass Lands.

In no department Of farming is there
more radical call for improvement.
thar in the manae cement Of our mead
ows and pastures. Good grass crops
are at the foundation good husbandry.
Land which will produce these largely,
vii! produce grain, corn, and roots
will sustain good proportion o! stock.
and thus furnish within itself,the means
OF keeping up and improving its fer.ili-
ty. These assertions are seemingly
SO self-evident, that we must beg par
don Of the intelligent reader for refor.
ring so frequently to the subject. Aad
yet the intelligent reader who looks per-
haps, over his own farm, certainly on
the farms around him, will see that no
word is out Of place, which can attract
attention to the question before US. We
shall now remark simply on top.dressng
meadows-the present beng favorable
season for the operation.
For improving the yield Of grass, and
adding to the permanent fertility of the
soil, we cannot do better with our fine
manure than to apply it after hayiny as
top-dresslns TO dry land meadows or
pastures. 1t will give new vigor to the
growth Of grass, and increase the thick.
ness Of the swarl, so that even were it
to be plowcd the next season for grain
crop, the manure could not be better
timed or applied. For me .dow or pas.
ture the product would be largely in-
creased both in quality. On wet land.
draining should precede the application
Of manure, as no great benefit can be
gained from manuring soil saturated
with Water during the wet seasons Of the
year
On loamy soils. the different composts

ETC., will be found valuable, and an ad.
dition Of plaster to the compost caunot
well come amiss. For mucky soils, ma-
nure comrostei with loan or clay will
De appropriate, and these alonc-as ia
the Case with muck on upland will! be
found valuable means Of improvement.
Bone manure, when it can be procured,
is an extremely valuable fertilizer for
grass, and no farmer should neglect to
employ In Il broken state, all tie bones

ment where dry straw spread thinly over
the surface OF a meadow, after hayin2,
produced a large increase in grass -ac-

roots, preventing the effects Of drouth,
adding also a light mauuring as it decay

on grass land and some farmers use them

From the True Flag
The Best Policy.

There is one radical defect in the teach.

ccp,ions, they all hold forth doctrines
winch may be reduced t. the concise
formula Be virtuous, because vice
will be surely punished y or, Be hon.
est, because honesty is the best policy.
Such is the tone of our pulpits and
our schools. To induce holiness, the
awful consequences of sin are exposed ;
and to promote rectitude. the slim chan.
ces of dishonesty, in the long run, are
eloq lently declared. 1t is true, there
are writer's, preachers, and teachers. who
proclaim clearer and nobler views but
they are comparatively few, AMI the,

pills of the good old school of morals, re.

This is the external and popular view
of virtue. We cannot see that in any
case it is safeguard of character. The
child who is constrained to obedience,
in the expectation of sweetmeats, or
from fear Of whippinss, is not thereby
made at heart better child. But the
moment he begins to do right, because
he feels that right is preferable to wrong
there is hope Of him. Teach him to ad-
-mire noble conduct; to love justice to
delight in aiding and comforting the dis.
tressed; to despise all mean and vicious
behavior; then generosity and self-de-
nial will be as natural to him as fra
GRANGE to the pink, or beauty to the rose,
and every upright act, though it cost
him his coat or his bed, will bring its re-
ward in the fullness Of peace that will
expand and thrill his soul.
Justice and love are the laws of the
universe. Wrong and selfshncss are
dsobedlence and discord. Could this
simple principle be understood and felt
by the young, there would be no danger
Of their going far astraJ from virtue and
happiness a; it would prove a helm to
guide them ever back into the true chan.
mel. however the winds of temptation
and the false currents OF error III yht di-
vert them from their course. The best
men are the cheertulest and happiest.-
The fulfilment Of the universal law brings
them into sympathy with nature, and in
to harmony with God himself, who is
that law. We cannot get into heaven
over tie DEVILS back but at the touch
of love, the golden gates fly open.
The faul. is, teachers and pupils lack
faith; and a superficial view of the
goods and pleasures Of life, 50 transitory
and heeting blinds is to the profounder
and more substantial realities, which
only the pure eye can perceive and the
steady hand grasp just as the chasing
bubbles and wasting waters of the

monds that rest serenely in its bel.
