LArr PAsTunfEo.-SoIne farmers
keen their caille oui as late as posi-.
bic ia the fall, and even into winter.
The pastures are gnawed very close,
and even the aftermath Of moving
fields, as if they never expected to get
another crop Of grass fIom them. -
This is very bad husbandry upon any
land, and especially upon that reoen,s
" seeded with herds-grass. This
grass, as is we'll known to all careful
observers, has buIbous root and the
fine roots that shoot out from the bot
tom are not as strong as the roots of
most other grass Is short. In a close
cropped meadow where this grass has
been sown, nothing Is more common
than TO see thousands Of these dried
bulbs lying upon the surface, We
doubt the economy Of grazing a herds
grass meadow at any time. But If
done at all, It should not be cropped
after the frs, Of November in this lat.
itude.
The roots Of all the grasses are de-
signed to be covered with their own
leaves and stalks during the winter.
These, and the snow, protect them
from the alternate freezings and ihaw-
ings, and bring them out in coed con-
dition in the spring. The farmer who
undertakes TO thwart the designs of
Nature in this respect, will end il a
very expensive business. The little
that he saves in feed now, lie loses
next season in the diminished yield of
the pasture or the meadow. Woought
always to manage SO as 10 have Ma
ture working with US, instead ofagainst
us. This is one Of the evils of over.
stocking farms. The farmer is afraid
that he has not quite fodder enough
for winter use, so he pastures till
the ground is frozen, lie cuts less
hay for the next season, and lie is still
more sorely tempted to pasture.
1t is quite as bad for the cattle as il
is for the land. Ifthey have no fodder
in the month Of November, they lose.
rather than gain upon pasture, ualess
ii is much better than the average.
Every animal ought to go into the
stable in a thriving condition--is not
fat, at least in full flesh. They are
then easily kept thriving upon good
hay, or upon hay and roots, straw and
meal. After several years close OBJ
servation directed to this particular,
we do not think any thing is gained |
by pasIuring in this latitude, and north |
of it, after the first ofthis month. All |
the grasses must have time to cover
their roots in order to make flush feed
next season. Cattle foddered through
a part of October, and brought to the
stable about the first of November,
in good flesh, are easily wintered. It
is better management to buy hay or
to sell stock, than to pinch the pas
lures 5y close feeding.-Ame,icaa

An INGENIOUS lNyESTIoE.--On

favored with call from Mr.. i. French
Of Franklin, Vermont, who was on
his wny to exhibit TO Coy, IIolbrook

his which be called .SCorded-baH,--
The body Of this bah is Of conical
form--,he largest ond having leaden
belt around il similar to the one
around the English and Belgian rifle d
cannon ball Lead is used as being
the only metal that ia sensitive TO the
groove in the cannon. Tbs swords
are so fastened to the ball that when
driven home the blades shut up, and
when The ball issues from the eannon's
mouth the rotary motion OF the ball
opens them as water flies from the
when in rapid motion
The swords can be made from one 10
four feet long.
For this deadly invention, we un-
der4tand Mr.. French has been offered
by some cunning Southron from The

BAD FOR sLAvEHOLDERs.

A correspondent of the Bradford Jour
nal writing from near Fredericksburg Va.
OH the Goth ult., says:
The valley of the Rappahannock at
this season presents a most delightful
scene. Although most of the residents
are disloyal and in active service of the
confederacy, the slaves under the super
intendence of those who are unfit for army
service have made the widespread mead
ows present the appearance of one large
field of waving grain; when the glistcn-
ing bayoncts and the long white baggage
trains of the Union army were discovered
lining the hills that rise up in the dis
lance overlooking this beautiful valley,
the slaves as if signaled to throw off all
allegiance to their masters instantly drop
ped their working implements wherever
they happened to be, and disregarding the
appeals and threats of their overscers,
fastened to pay the Yankees visit.
After having given US a hearty welcome
and displayed their great delight at see
ing us in various ways, they returned to
their old homes to enjoy long holiday
to which they declare themselves doubly
entitled.
A wealthy planter who lives close by
who is too old to be of service as a soldier,
and who expressed his good will toward
the rebel cause by sending two sons to
serve in their ranks, owns a large num-
Der of slaves, but can in no way prevail
upon them to labor; both housemaids and
field hands refuse to wait upon his table
or cultivate his fields He often threat
ems to drive them from his houses, and
keep from them food, but they promptly
tell him they will not work, and that he
dare not drive them from their houses !;
that for food they will 60 to his graine-
ries and meat houses and help themselves.
Thus he finds himself completely in their
power, and trembles when he hears them
threaten to destroy his property unless he
succumbs to their will. Nor was his
anxiety in the least lessened, when, day
or two since, upon examining his meat
house, he discovered that instead Of the
six thousand pounds of very nice ham it
contained two weeks since, it then con-
tanned but six hundred. His corn, wheat,
and everything else disappears after the
same manner. After he had secured what
little meat he had left in his cellar, his
servants called upon him and demanded
that he should give them meat or they
should go into the cellar and get it; and
he was obliged to send to camp to get a
file of soldiers to get them out Of his house.
Yet this man is not alone in trouble. On
these plantations there is large number
of slaves, nearly all of whom assume the
same independence, defying their over
seers to compel them to labor. Squads Of
them are coming to the river daily from
many miles within the rebel lines, which
goes to show how far the bewildered slave
holder has succeeded in impressing the
mind Of his slave with the ridiculous idea
that the Yankees were q set Of cut.throats
who wish to make "tote-horses" of them,
and, after the war, sell them to Cuba.
