Alter Feeding Meadows.

At recent meeting Of the Little Falls
Farmers Club, the subject for discussion was
the after management of meadows. From
the report in the Utica Herald, we copy the
remarks of Mr.. S. S Whitman
The question when aud how much we can
tax our meadows by cropping without injury
to succeeding crops, possibly has failed Of re-
ceiving deserved attention The revolution
that has taken place in the minds and practice
of many farmers as to the best time for cut
ting grass is very favorable to our meadows,
aud at the same time is productive Of a fine
growth Of after-feed -other to be fed by
stock or moved as u second crop II may be
observed that some farmers who oyerstock
their farms, turn their cows on their meadows
Immediately after getting their hay crop off
hoping to increase the dairy product suli,
GENTLY to balance the damage, if any, to the
meadows. In this way the meadows are kept
gnawed down to the very roots Of the grass
and but little or no chance given for it to re-
cuperate, and nothing left to shield it frou
the effects Of winter like the present,
The practice Of some farmers is diheren
from the one Just described. They choose tC
keep the stock Of the meadows much later il
the season--let the second crop Of grass grow
till it is well grown, and if pastured at all
allow but portion of it to be eaten of, leay
ing enough to make good protection TO
winter, aud mulch to assist an early start il
the spring Some choose to NOV the haryes
growth. This may be admissible if it is don
in season for a third crop to start with tn
aid Of good top-dressng of manure, aite
the removal Of the second crop, and then no
allow cropping in the spring for even day
Some, though but few, prefer to lot tn
second crop remain on the ground This ma.
do for meadows that have been starved 0
produce light crops, but for well fed meadows
there would be danger of too heavy mulch
and too good protection for mice. With thes
brief remarks it seems proper to leave tn
subject for the discussion Of the club, that W
may learn which is the better way, the starN
ing or the fattening. process.

SOME years ago Judge Guyer-so called,
was elected sheriff of this county under the
name of Stephen S. Guyer, and at the last
election lame supposed to be his was
printed on ticket as Samuel s. Guyer for
Judge. If Mr.. Guyer possessed the delicate,
effeminate brain and nature of the editor Of
the Union, and was called Bsrnaby Bibbs,
we could account for this change on the
grounds that he had committed matrimony.
But as it is, we are forced to believe he was
conscious of doing some mean transaction
and threw off on the name of Stephen, that,
in the campaign, he might avoid being
stoned to political death, like that other
martyr we have heard about. Produce your
Samuel and let him take the oath of office
while poor Steve who only got one vote
takes back seat along with Mr.. Blanding.

NECKrIE SoCIABLE.-The necktie party is
becoming fashionable throughout the entire
country. In Kansas and other border states,
they are becoming immensely popular. They
generally take along horse thief or some
william of thieving prOpensiiies, and when
the parties break up, they leave him sus.
pended to tree, in order to mark the spot,
so that they may avoid holding parties twice
in the same place. The ladies of the Bap-
fist Church society understand the wants
and wishes of the young men of this place,
and their efforts to please should be appre-
ciated. Their necktie sooiable tomorrow
evening will be source of amusement and
profit to all who may attend. Young men
have nc fear of losing their life by attending,
as the ladies are not on the war path, but
they promise you handsome young lady

a RoBBERY.-We learn that q young gent
of this city wac robbed of $75 in cash few
weeks since, and alth ough the story is rath-
er old, it may prove a warning to others.
The young gent Was visited at his place OF
business by total stranger. who represent
ed himself as the owner Of bar privileges on
q steamboat running between Memphis and
New Orleans, and in need of partner. He
had had our young friend recommended to
him as just the person he wanted, and made
liberal offers of passage money to Memphis,
if his offer was accepted After making
diligent inquiries as to the character of the
stranger, of whom he could learn nothing
however, and being young and healthy, he
determined to see q little of southern life,
and accepted. Accordingly the twain took
the next train for Burlington, but were
forced to pass the night in Monmouth, they
occupying the same bed. In the morning
our young friend, whom we shall call r.,
missed his pocket book which contained
$75. He said nothing to the stranger, but
kept strict watch upon his movements, until
they arrived at Burlington, where in going
to hotel, they met policeman, whom *.
aocosted, saying that he wished him to ar
rest the person with him. To this the
stranger demurred, saying that he was KS
friend. The policeman finally arrested both
and took them before q magistrate, who
heard the case and ordered the stranger to
be searched, when the pocket book was
found in his stocking, the money untouched.
He was committed to Jail, and K. returned
to this city with his money, a wiser man,
and henceforth will follow his legitimate
calling. Morsl-don't 60 on wild goose
chases with strangers.
