5ritnItaral Department,
Meadows and Pastures.

Several months ago Prof Buckma1 de-
Hvsred a lecture on the subject at oul
head before the Faringdon Eng land) Agrl-
cultural Library Association. The North
British Agricultnrist 10 publishing it remarks;
The principal points brought out are that
meadows and pastures will only yield the lar
gest amount of valuable grasses when they are
under careful culture Soar grasses usually
disappear with thorough drainage, and the
more nutritious grasses take their places but
to enable the soil to produce these in abun-
dance, it is often necessary TO apply manure.
TO eradicate some of the interior grasses, weed
ing is necessary land as the greater numoeF oil
the $50 species Of grasses which occnpy mea-
doWs and pastures in this country are not rel
'ished by the donesticatet animais, the expense
tailed by wedding and manuring will often be
considerable but this expense will generally
be more than covered by the improved swathe
of grass cut from the meadows, and the ln-
creased amount of succulent aud nutritious her.
bage produced On the pasture lands.
Rolling and narrowing are often beneficial
to certain descriptions of meadows and pas
tures-rolling by consolidating the soil, and
narrowing by removing moss and other weeds.
The trampIing by the folding Of sheep is only
beneficial where the sheep are the channel by
which fertsing matter is brought to the
meadows or pastures Prof. Buckner indicates
way of improving a madow or pasture in
bad condition by sheep being removed FROM
the turnp field in the evening, and kept in
the meadow or pasture daring the night
This system has not much to recommend it to
general adoption, as it is not conductive to the
health aud general progress of the sheep being
fattened on the turnps. A better plan is to
cart food to the meadow or pasture to be i'm
proved the sheep feed upon turnips and o.
eagiuous cakes, corn, &c will render the por,
tons folded more productive. The Professor
also recommends that in sowing ont meadows
and pastures care should be exercised 20 pro
cure clean grass seeds This is Que Of the con-
ditions essential to obtain a valuable meadow
or pasture field.
As the season advances, the owners and oc
cupiers of meadows and pastures should study
the character of the plants which occupy tie
SOIL Draining, manuring and wedding will
effect such decided changes as to render such
lands much more profitable to all those direct
Iy interested in their productive capabilities

method of making wine as follows -
II strip the leaves from the stalks, and crush
the latter in a sugar mill, and press them in a
press having three inch iron screw. For a
40 gallon barrel put into mixing tub 20
gallons of juice, 40 lbs. of best brown sugar,
and water enough to make 40 gallons. Mix
well, and poar into the barrel, leaving The
hung open and keep the barrel full until it is
done working, and then bung tight for six
weeks. Then dissolve four OF. of isinglasS ia
warm wine, rour it into the barrel and bung
tight, leaving it so for year then rack off
and it is fit for use, but will be much better at
two years, and so on the Older the better.
