The saline matter of milk consists
principally of the phosphates Of lime and
magresia, and the chlOrides of potash
and soda, and must all come from the
soil, the air not being able to furnish a
particle of it, though liberal in her sup
plies of organic food to plants. A herd
of 20 COWS, therefore, giving on an aver,
age ID quarts of milk daily, will abstra ct
from the pastures each day in their milk
nearly lbs. of earthly matter. This may
seem q small amount, but as "a continual
dropping will wear away rocks" 80 such
petty theft, praetised for an indefinite
length of time, will wear out pastures
It must be remembered that this saline
matter in milk is not of gross nature,
but constitutes the very essence of a good
soil. How rich milk is in all the elements
Of animal life, may be inferred from the
fact that man and all animals of the nam.
malta class live upon it in the earlier sta
ges Of their existence.

The fat of animals Is derived from

CHERRY PICTORIAL will and does relieve and
cure the affecting disorders of the Throat and

lieved were they not proven beyond dispute.
AS a remedy it is adequate, on which the public
may rely for full protection. BY curing Coughs,
the forerunners Of more serious disease, it saves
unnumbered lives, and an amount of suffering
not to be computed. 1t challenges trial, and con-
vinces the most sceptical Every family should
keep it on hand as protection against the early

which are easily met at first, but which become
incurable and too often fatal, if neglected. Ten

be without it. AS a safeguard to children, amid
the distressing diseases which beset the Throat

DETERIORATION OF PASTURES.

INSTRUMENTATION
The following extracts are MADE from
q prize essay read before the New Eng
land Agricultural Society:
The causes of deterioration of pastures
are obvious, and brief consideration of
them will pave the way for more thor
ough understanding of the remedies.
The first and great cause is that farmers,
like the horse-lee oh, have been continu-
ally saying to the pastures, "Glve, give"
and for the wool, beef and mutton given
by the pastures, have returned no equiva-
lent. Judging from the practice of the
great majority of farmers, they must have
the impression they are doing justice to
the pastures when they keep their f1ocks
and herds upon them day and night so
that the land receives all the excrement.
They forget that this excroment contains
only part of the food consumed, and
that large fraction goes off in the milk
and carcass of the animal and that this
balance againstgthe land must, In the
course of years, bring it and the land
owner to poverty.
Milk and beef are at present the CHIEF
exported product of New England pas
lures; ard a moments consideration o.
the composition of these staples must con
vince the most thoughtless that neither
Providence nor the pastures are to blame
for the deterioration Of the latter. On

over the so-caed reserve OF retired greenOacks,

thority 10 reissue them his discretion, and the
present emergency Is certainly as great as any IN which
he has previously exercised his authority we shall have
