Hints About Pasture.

lst. am satisfied by observation and ex-
perience that pastures will not improve in
fertility when cattle are taken out and
kept in the barn yards at night. Conse-
uuently, if you wish to enrich your land
with q view to blowing and cropping it,
stock should remain on it nights as well as
days.
md. Avoid as far as possible pasturing
land that is too rocky to cultivate. Such
land had better be occupied with apple
trees, sugar maple, or even deciduous trees
for firewood especially if one has smooth
land enough for cropping and pasture both.
Seed them down with beech nuts if you
can do no better. Sheep, in particular,
should be kept off such pasture, they be-
ing such excellent stock for improving the
soil, and are seldom yarded at nights.
Sd. When it becomes necessary to renew
pastures for the sake of the grass as pas
lures manure, of course, if you cam but
be sure to SOW good variety of grass seed.
In addition to the usual clover and herd
grass timothy SOW red-top, June grass,
orchard grass, and any kind you can find
that suits the soil. There is often loss in
breakingup pastures for renewal, because
bountiful nature, which is ever ready to
aid the farmer, furnishes in course of time
a varietyof grasses, which, when turned
down, cannot be Immediately replaced by
seeding with one or two kinds only.
Hence the necessity of waiting for Dame
Nature to supply the deficiency.
4th. When seeding down, stock should
not be turned on to 1t till the grass has
got we'll rooted, so that il will not be killed
by being punched cut of the ground by
the feet Of the cattle, or pulled up root and
branch in feeding. Now as early as you
would lawn, and IL will soon thicken.
Let your cattle on when ready, in late
summer or early fall, when the ground
is firm and the grass well rooted.
9TH. Divide pastures when practicable,
so as TO feed more even, and prevent the
casional changes. They Will do better,
9th. Just before a rainstorm go with a
hoe or long-handled shovel and scatter the
Jumps OF manure over the pasture, and let
it wash into the ground.
When the droppings are left to bake and
dry all up they are wasted. 1t is a good
time also to SOW plaster TO prolong the use
Of the pasture without breaking it up

Farming In HAWKINS County.

EDITORS CHRONICLE: have concluded
to write short article, as at present 1.-THE
2d day of March) farming is virtually
checked, for the present at least, by the
most remarkable snowfall within my rec
election in this tHawkins) county, which
is twelve inches deep, and all having fallen
within the last twelve hours.
The farmers in this locality have mostly
finished ploughing for corn and have COM
menced putting in their cat crop, which
operation they will, for short time, have
to postpone.
will give you my experience with the
Chester White pig 1 sailed two pure
blood Chester pigs q few days over twelve
months old, which, without extra treat
ment, Melted me 555 pounds. and with ex-
ira care have no doubt would have been
increased to 500 pounds.
/ am glad the farmers in East Tennessee
are beginning to wake up to their interest
in the improvement of their stock, for it is
evident without improved stock raising
and improved farming, we, as a section
Will go under. The t,oo must enevitably
go hand in hand, for improved stock not
only means finer, larger and better stock,
but also better care.
The people need more light, more agri
cultural light, more agricultural papers,
books, farmers clubs and societies in this
country of East Tennessee, where we have
so many natural advantages in climate
and location. There is nothing to prevent
us from becoming the must prosperous and
independent people in this broad land OF
ours but our detestabIe state or inertia.

she's got devil of a temper. When

she never hits me the third time before

disapprove of such action on her part
Perhaps have to leave the house to
show her this, but she sees the point.

her, and letting her have her own way,

Aurora Borealis and Aurora
AustraliS.

Letters from Italy give graphic de-
scriptions of the Aurora Borealis that
appeared there on the night of Feb. 4.
1t was discovered Immediately after
twilight and continued Visible for about
nine hours. Persons who observed the
heavens carefully during its continu-
ance say that its brilliancy was SO great
only stars of the first and second mag
nitude could be discerned. But the
beauty of the scene was further en-
hanced, little after nine O'Clock, by
rays rising from the southern horizon
and mingling with the broad light Of
the north. Thus the rare phenomenon
of an Aurora Borealis and and Aurora
Australis in conjunction was presented
The general effect is described as if one
"were standing within an immense
dome-shaped pavilion, of which the
convergent ribs were touched with q
golden light" Two bright falling stars
were seen at the same time. The work.
ing of the telegraph wires was entirely
interrupted at one time, and more oI
less retarded during the whole continu-
ance of this grand exhibition OF ma.
ture.

Blowing for the Settlement" +"

II organized the first Sunday-sehool
in this county and ran it myself" said
a shrewd but dissipated Wisconsin
lawyer. "a few of us Americans
came here early. We wanted to get in
decent, industrious settlers, and keep
the rowdies out. So said, "A Sunday
school will draw the folks we want. 1t
will be the best and cheapest way to
blow for the settlement" They all
agreed to it. There wasn't soul of us
that pretended to have a grain of piety.
So they pitched upon me to carry out
the plan. did it, sending to Mr.. Rice
of the American Union for library and
ran the school all summer. 1t did the
blowing for US splendidly. Several
Christian families came in, and Us they
had better stock of piety,I handed the
Sunday-school over to them. 1t was
grand thing for us. We secured good
moral settlement. In fact, sir, it got
to be so pious that couldn't live there
myself."

What is paid for Fashion.
EnameIing the Face and the Result,


A lady in Louisville paid seventy-five
dollars, we are told, for having her face
enameled for the ball given at the Gait
House to the Grand Duke Alexis. The
enamel was warranted to last three
days, and so it did. The lady was Ia
ken ill upon her return home from the
ball, her face became greatly swollen,
the most acute pain succeeded, and it
was only by the employment of the
best medical skill that her life was saw
ed. This statement we have from an
undoubted source.
But the case of this lady is not SO bad
as that of another Louisville lady who
became enamored of the odious fashion
of enameling the face. She visited an
other city, far to the eastward, some
five months ago, for the sole purpose
of having her face enameled acbording
to the latest Partisan mode. She had
heard that noted Partisan was engag-
ed in the enameling business at the city
in question, and to him she went upon
her arrival. For the sum of five hun
dred dollars he agreed to enamel her
face so scientifically that the enamel
would rem@in undamaged for three
years, and 4 ear or two longer if ex-
ira care wa taken in washing the face
according 10 his prescribed method.
The devotee If fashion concluded the
bargain, anu raid three hundred dol
lars If the sum named, the balance to
be paid in yearly installments, divided
into three years.
The lady received the enamel and re-
turned to her home in this city. Since
her return she has disappeared from So
ciety. There was so much poison in the
enamel that its effects were almost i'm
mediately developed in the almost total
paralysis of the facial nerves, and what
was once truly beautiful face to-day is
n distorted, disfigured, and an liberated
one.
The lady's beauty has disappeared
forever, ane if her Physicians succeed
in saving her life they will have accomp
lished more than they had right tC
hope for. Her eyes are terribly infiam'
ed and disfigured, and the sight o.
them fast failing.-Louisrille Ledger.

Easter Eggs.

First, then, you select your dyes
vegetable or wood dyes they should be,
blue, crimson, yellow, according to
fancy-and, procuring small portion
of each from a druggist, you place
them in separate vessels. Then drop
ping the eggs into hot water for few
moments. you draw on the shell with
bit of tallow any design you please
names, dates, leaves, crosses. The tall
low prevents any discoloration in the
spot it covers, so when the egg has been
submitted to the boiling dye, the pat
tern appears in white on tinted ground
with very pretty effect.
Another method, more laborious but
infinitely more artistic, is to dye the
whole egg, and afterward scrape out the
pattern with sharp pen-knife. This
way admits of greater range Of taste
and skill than the other. The egg may
be divided into compartments, each
holding some tiny vignette, landscape
perhaps, or an angel, or cupid, or line
of verse, with the date, all framed in
solid, bright color. In old days, eggs
treated after this fashion did duty as
Valentines, and were frequently pre-
served in the after homes of the happy
pairs, each egg carefully enshrined in
deep, ,long-stemmed wine-glass, through
which the Inscription could be read
without removing it.
Golden eggs, which are covered
with thin sheets of leaf gold, are beau
tiful things when mixed with others.
A cheap way of making them is to use
the dye of the flrze-blossom, which is
said to communicate a fine yellow color.
Any boy or girl, clever at drawing,
can produce, with little trouble, a va
riety of designs which shall have the
added merit of originality. What could
be prettier than knot of Esster-how-
ers, snow-drops, violets. or lilies Of the
valley, painted in water color on the
white shell, or sketched gracefully and
lightly in sepia or India-ink. Pencil
drawings are singularly soft and pretty
on the some pure background, and, set
with boiling water, are not easily de-
faced. A monogram in bright, illumi-
mated tints and gold is also effective; in
short, there are a dozen charming fan
cies which will at once suggest them
selves to the mind of any young artist
who begins to think upon the subject,
and we advise such by all means to try.

Removal of the Capital from
New York to Philadelphia.

In accordance with law, Congress met
at the close of the year, December IL,
1880, in Philadelphia, where it was des-
tined to remain while Alexander Ham
ilton was at the head of the Treas
ury.
The meagre annals of the day which
have been preserved give lugubrious
pictures of the annoyances endured by
the officials of the government in max
ing this change in their residence. By
many and vexatious processes their
household furniture and the govern
ment property were conveyed away to
the banks of the Delaware in slowly
sailing sloops. Mrs. Washington was
made sick by the annoyance and
excitement, and "the General" with
the most scrupulous care, personally at
tended to the disposition of his house
hold property, sending part to auction
sale at the "Cofee-house," and superin-
tending the packing of the remainder,
accompanying the loads to the vessel to
to see that everything was safely deliv-
cred doing all this much to the aston
ishment of the worthy burghers, who
had heretofore seen but little of the
"chief magistrate" except on most GER
emonious state occasions.
On the opening of Congress at Phila-
delphia, it may be justly said that the
government was for the first time
thoroughly organized. The cabinet
was completed, the debts of the nation
funded, an elaborate and most perfect
act passed for the collection of reve-
nue.; and the national existence, reley-
ed from the first and most responsible
steps, could now confidently make rap
id strides toward prosperity.-From
"The United States Treasury Depart
ment," by Colonel T. B. Thorpe, in
Hdrper's Magazine.
