I.MPROYR.uR.vT OF PASTURES

The amount of forage in the farmers
barn at the close of the hay harvest, shows
the fertility Of his fields, if the conditions
and elements have been uniform. A de-
cded falling off in his hay crop arouses
him to renewed exertion to make his fields
more fertile and productive, and these ex-
ertions sometimes spasmodic, ii is true,)
have kept the fields of New England com-
paratively fertile, the while, until the same
pasture barely sustains for the son one-half
the stock it used to fatten for the father.
1t did not matter much how the young
stock wintered thirty or forty years ago.
for they were sure to improve In the sum-
mer. From the fertile pastures they came
out fat and sleek in autumn, though they
turned in, poor and rough, in spring.
Now, this Is a serious matter to the farm
or of New England; for however broad
and rich his fields may be, he must have
green pastures along side,-one is neces-
sary to the other, and both absolutely es-
sential to maintain the equilibrium of the
farm. When the farmers pasture fail to
sustain in summer the stock his fields
have supported in winter, the profits upon
his stock will end, and one of the most
important sources of revenue Is cut off.
This depreciation of our pastures has
been the effect of a system calculated to
| produce the result above described. For
more than century we have pursued a
system which has produced this state OF
things, viz. : putting in our pastures all
the stock they could sustain, and always
too early in spring; raising stock for gen
erstions, whose growing bones have ex-
tracted the phosphates from the soil pro-
ducng milk, which extract the same ele-
ments in still greater degree; withdraw
ing the cattle nights to the yards to increase
the manure pile for the fields, at the ex-
pense of tho pastures; blowing the high
land and raising crops, almost always with
no return OF fertilizers, and too often with
out re-seeding; never draining the low
] portions Of the pastures, which are always
! tho richest, and In times of drought, the

To SAVE TREES GNAwED BY MIcE.-A
correspondent writing from Worcester,
Mass, sends the following to the Spring
field Republican
In your issue of the 5th inst, 1 noticed
an account of fine orchard of young pear
trees, the bark on the bodies of which had
been eaten entirely off from the ground,
some inches upward, by mice, and it was
spoken of as if the trees must necessarily be
lost. Will you permit me to say through
your paper, that this is a mistaken idea,
and that these trees and all others in the
same condition may be saved at trifiing ex-
pense compared with the value of the trees.
1 have often exprimented in such cases,
and always with entire success. My mode
of operation is this: I take two twigs of
the last years growth, of sufficient length
to reach across the denuded space, and, as
soon as the bark of the tree will Slip
usually when the buds are swelled nearly
to opening-engraft the two ends of the
twigs into the tree under the bark, one end
above the injured space and the other be-
low. They Immediately grow in, and thus
the space is bridged over, aud the sap has
free course from the root 10 all parts of the
tree. The twigs should be tapered at the
two ends, precisely as for splicing; the
bark of the tree above the injury should be
slitted upward and that below downward,
and the bark slightly raised, as in budding,
to admit the inserting of the tapered ends
of the twigs. The tapered ends of the twigs,
should, of course, rest against the wood OF
the tree, thus bringing the bark of the tree
and the twigs in contact. The better they
are made to fit at the union the more certain
will the success of the operation be. The
gratis should then be well secured in their
places by bandages of bast mating or other
suitable material put lightly around them
at each end. If the earth can be drawn up
around the tree, so as to entirely cover the
upper end of the gratis, no other protec-
ton will be needed, but if this cannot be
done, the air should be excluded the same
| as in any other grating by the application
of grating wax. The operator will under
stand of course, that the two twigs should
| be placed on opposite sides of the tree. !
| have saved numbers of valuable trees by
| this process, and in many cases, they con-
| tinued their growth apparently as well, al
most, as If no injury had been done them
and they generally made good healthy
| trees.

The common house cricket has the nc

The common house cricket has the no.
table popularity of possessing both incisive
and molar teeth. This enables the insect
to destroy reaches much larger than itself,
and to eat through very tough substances.
Crickets have been known to spoil the
night, and they will frequently make holes
in wet stockings, under like circumstances.
The power of chirping belongs only to the
males. These are provided with what cor
responds to little drum or tambonrine,
formed by the horny or parchment-like
substance of the short upper wings. These
wings have roughened edges, and, being
rubbed with vibratory movement, upon

Every year increases the populari-
ty of this valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone. We
can assure our old patrons that it is
kept fully up to its high standard;
and it is the only reliable and perfect
ed preparation for restoring GRAY
OR FADED HAIR to its youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. 1t removes all eruptions
and dandruff, and, by its tonic prop
critics, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. By its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create a new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most eco
nomical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair a splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, MD,
State Assayer of Massachusetts, says,
"The constituents are pure, and care
fully selected for excellent quality;
and 1 consider it the BEST PREPA-
RATION for its intended purposes"
