much more energetic temperaments
than the carter, and consequently pos

latter, in proportion to their weight
and size. Their leverage, however, is
not nearly so we'll suited for draught,

Permasent Pastures.
A correspondent OF the Country Gen.
,l,man writes: The time has arrived
when more attention has to he paid
to permanent pastures and mowings.
Whenever blue grass or other thor.
ouchly established thickset greensward
is broken up from its first natural set,
il will never become 30 good again un.
der any management in vogue in the
United States. In Kentucky, the home
Of the blue grass, the pillow forever de-
stroys the rich and fattening verdure !;
and though those who have desolated
blue grass region may make state
ments to the contrary, afterwards no
one can exhibit the same living,
healthy, matted turf that existed before
the pillow destroyed the natural sward.

land, the varieties growing consisting of
the best native and other perpetual
grasses.

application causes coughing, during
which those that are drawn out by the
feather are expelled.
Cheap Tre1lls.
A man without money gives the fol.
lowing account, in the E'Tit Recorder,
of his mode of constructing . cheap
grape trellis, in the absence of wire or
lath. He dates from Salem, N. c., and
lives six miles from reed country. He
hired farmers to deliver cut reeds l6
feet long for a per 1000. He Get ports
feet APART, and nailed the reeds
against them, slipping the small end
Of one reed into the large end of the
next. At each vine planted midway
between the posts he inserted q reed
upright into the ground, and wired il
to the horizontal reeds.
