Well Developed Gras ses and other
6.reeKa F0ddar

Il
In New England, and in some portions
of New York, when during July and
August the pastures are poor, it is usual
to SOW corn for the purpose of cutting up
green for food when the pastures run dry.
of late some discussion has been going on
in regard to green corn-fodder-as to
whether it is, or is not good food for an
inals, some advocating it, and some stren-
uously opposing it. The truth of the
matter, however, we think, lies just here:
| If the corn is sowed SO thick as to de-
velop TO much extent yellow, sickly
growth, such food fed to animals will be
apt to give unfaYorable results. But where
it is cultivated in such manner as
to cause the plant to show an exu.
berance of health, il then fed to animals
the results are always in the highest de-
gree satisfactory. This fact, elected from
the discussion that has been going on,
being generally admitted, writer in the
Ne1c England Farmer is disposed TO
extend the inquiry further, and asks,
MAY not the same principle apply in
grass growing9" He thinks where land
is highly MANFRED and grass seed sown
thickly, that although large crops in weight |
may be the result, it viii be nevertheless |
at the sacrifice of quality. We ourselves |
remember, last season, seeing some orch |
ard grass growing on vacant space, be-
tween two terraces of vineyard, so re-
markable for its rich, deep green color,
and manifesting such a perfection of |
health in its growth as to fairly |
startle us with wonder, and to
cause us to think at first that
this magnificent specimen was some new
variety of the grasses. We have often
noticed, also, isolated tufts of oats or rye
or wheat grown in the garden, or in some
favorable position, where they could at
tain to full Development And we have
remarked, at such times, the wonderful
difference between the plants thus grown
and those ordinarily grown in the field.
If grasses for hay, or if oats, rye or
wheat were grown in drills so that during
the season of their growth the soil could
receive cultivation between the drills, thus
letting into the soil the oxygen, carbon and
ammonia existing in the air, there is no
doubt much greater variety and exuberant
health would be impaired to the plants,
and greater and better crops would be the

The Tomato and its culture.

This delicious, uelicately acid, cooling,
healthful, and now almost indispensable
fruit, whose hygienic qualities have been
tested by the human system Chat most
perfect of laboratories), is, by careful
culture, being brought 10 perfection and
instead of coarse, unsightly, spongy,
4seedy, ill-favored tomatoes, the desirable
qualities of earliness, productIveness, size,
solidity, fewness of seeds, evenness of
form, richness of flavor, and beauty of
color may be secured. A successful gar
dener in New Jersey gives the following
directions for growing the tomato:
HOU to Start the PJdntS.-For
family use to get carly fruit sew seed
from the earliest ripened fruit Tin little
box containing three or four inches of rich
SOLD any time from the beginning of
March till the opening of spring, and for
a late crop SOW seed when the spring
opens, in the open ground; plants from
the latter will fruit till frost comes, and
longer il protected. Place the little box
near a window where the sun can shine
on IL, in warm room of even tempera-
ture. Water with tepid water once a day.
Let the plants have light and sunshine,
and all the fresh air they can stand. Ill
grown plants, crowded to suffocation,
such as are seen in most dealers hot-beds,
have little value.
dHtilg.-When the rough
leaves come, transplant into pots, or q
box, and do so three or four times, till
open ground culture. Water freely each
time before transplanting, so that a ball of
earth may be removed with each plant.
ODen ground c1altare.-DO not plant
in the open ground, unless the plants are
protected, till all danger of frost is over.
They will flourish in rather light than
heavy, and rich, but not over-rich soil.
Hoe early and often. Let no weeds
grow. Keep the soil fIiable.
Pruning. advantages of pruning
have been questioned, but my tomatoes
grow best when 5CeU pruaed. Cut out
all suckers, and non-bearing branches.
Let in light, air, and sunshine. Most of
the fruit grows on the lower part of the
vines, and there will be no loss by short
ening them; for nutrition will then flow to
fruit instead of making fibre.

There's something in the 'iparting hour

Are fated all to part;
But this I've seen-and many panq

The one who goes is happier

No matter what the journey be.
Adventures, dangerous far
To the wild deep or bleak frontier,

Still something cheers the heart that dares
In al of human kind,
And they who go are happier
Than those they leave behind
The bride goes 10 the bridegroomls homo
With doubtings and with tears,
But does not Hope her rainbow spread
Across her cloudy fears
Alas the mother who remains
What comfort can she find.
But this-the gone is happier
Than the one she leaves behind?
Have You friend-a comrade dear,
An old and valued friend?
Be sure your term of sweet concourse

Though weak and worn more cheerful are
Than all the rest who stay;
And when, at last, poor man subdued,
Lies down to death resigned,
May he not still be happier far,

Remedy for the Scours.

A writer in an exchange states that he
cured COW that was badly afflicted with
the scours by the following remedy: One
quart of wheat flour, tied tight in a cloth,
put into kettle of boiling water and
boiled three hours. After it was taken
out and cooled, it was pounded fine, and
given her to eat dry. By twice feeding
her with this she was cured, and never
troubled with it again. 1t is said to have
been equally effectual in cases of olsen
terry with persons.

DISEASES OF THE KIDNEYs AND BLADDER

DISEASES OF THE KIDNEYS AND BLADDER
Persons unacquainted with the structure and
functions of the Kidneys cannot estimate the I'M
pOrtdnce of their healthy action.
Regular and sufficient action of the Kidneys is
as important, nay, even more so, than regularity
of the bowels. The Kidneys remove from the
Blood those effete matters which, if permitted to
remain, would speedily destroy life. A total sus-
pension of the urinary discharges will occasion
death from thirty-six to forty-eight hours.
When the Urine is voided in small quantities at
the time, or when there is a disposition to Urinate
more frequently than natural, or when the Urine
is high colored or scalding, with weakness in the
small of the back, it should not be triied with or
delayed, but Koskoo should be taken at once to
remedy the difficulty, before lesion of the organs
takes place. Most of the diseases of the Bladder
originate from those of the Kidneys, the Urine
being imperfectly secreted in the Kidneys, prove
irritating to the Bladder and Urinary passages.
When we recollect that medicine never reaches the
Kidneys except through the general circulation Of
the Blood, we see how necessary it is to keep the
Fountain of Life Pure.

Meets with GREAT SUCCESS in the CURE of
Diseases of the Nervous
System.

Almost nine-tenths of our people suffer from
nervous exhaustion, and are, therefore, liable to
its concomitant evils of mental depression, con-
fused IDEAS softening of the brain, insanity, and
complete breaking down of the general health.
Thousands are suffering to-day with broken-down
nervous systems, and, unfortunately, tobacco,
alcohol late hours, over-work, (mental and physi-
ca) are causing diseases of the nervous system to
increase at fearful ratio.
The SYMPTOMS to which diseases of the nervous
system give RISE may be stated as follows: A
dull heavy feeling in the head, sometimes more or
loss severe pain or headache; Periodical Headache,
Dizziness, Noises or Ringing in the Head; Confu-
sion of Ideas; Temporary Loss of Memory; De-
lection of Spirits; Starting during Sleep; Bad
Dreams; Hesitation in Answering Questions /;
Dizziness of Hearing; Twitching of the Face an d
Arms etc, which, if not promptly treated, lead to

DISEASES OF THE BLOOD.

The life Of the flesh is in the Blood" is a
Scriptural maxim that science proves to be true
The people talk Of bad blood as the cause of many
diseases, and like many popular opinions this Of
bad blood is founded in truth.
The symptoms of bad blood are usually quite
plain-bad Digestion causes imperfect nutrition,
and consequently the circulation is feeble the soft
tissues lose their tone and elasticity, and the
tongue becomes pale, broad, and frequently coy
cred with pasty, white coat. This condition soon
shows itself in TOaghess Of the skim then in ERUP-
TIVE and LUCRATIVE diseases, and when long con-
tnued, results in serious LESSONS of the Brain Iiy-
er, Lungs, or urinary apparatus. Much, very
much, suffering is caused by impure blood. 1t is
estimated by some that one-hfth of the human
family are affected with scrofula in some form
When the blood is pure, you are not so liable to
any disease. Many impurities of the Blood arise
from impure diseases of large cities. Eradicate
every inquiry from the fountain of life and good
Spirits fair skin and vital strength viii return to
you.
