MANURE AND TILLAGE.

Tillage is a good thing. Manure is
good thing. But tillage and manure
together are far better than either alone
So said to myself yesterday as walk
ed across my corn field This spring |
spread a little well-rotted manure on the
poorer parts Of the field and plowed it
in. | have cultivated the corn very
thorough y-almost excessively. The
land was far from clean, and | was
determined that not weed should grow
that | could reach with cultivator
We narrowed the field four times with
a Thomas harrow after the corn was
planted and before it was large enough
to cultivate. Since then the cultivator
has been through it seven or eight
times, and l went through it once more
in August. This is pretty good tillage,
and the corn on the whole looked quite
we'll for the season; but wherever the
manure was applied the effect is very
decided. | do not think | ever saw so
little manure do so much good. We
did not pnt on over five tons to the
acre. True, it was good manure, made
from sheep, cows, and pigs fed largely
on bran, and was pretty well rotted
but still | think the good tillage has
helped the manure. | am sure the
manure has helped the good tillage.
What we want is good manure and
good tillage And when so strenu-
ously and SO frequently urge farmers to
cultivate the soil more thoroughly |
have precisely this result in my mind.
| never dreamed Of depending ultimate
ly on tillage alone. | use it merely as
a stepping-stone to something better
If have given any other impression it
must be because do not write and
talk plainly and definitely But it is
also just possible that some people are
careless readers and uncandid critics.
| have urged again and again the
great importance and many advantages
of good tillage. | have not a word to
take back | am sure that good tillage
alone would add millions of dollars an
nually to the profits of our agriculture
Can any sane man doubt it? But |
never supposed that any farmer who
had energy enough to cultivate his land
thoroughly would be willing to stop
there. As rule, the men who have
the cleanest farms make the most ma
nure. | know farmer who feeds
good many sheep every winter, and
makes large quantity of manure He
has succeeded in bringing his land to a
high state of productiveness. But it is
very foul The weeds rob him of half
his profits. This farmer makes all the
manure he can, but does not cultivate
his land thoroughly. Now the point l
want to make is this: A man may
make good deal Of manure and not
cultivate his land; but did you ever
know man who took special pains to
kill all the weeds on his farm, and get
his land mellow and in the best mechan-
zeal condition, who did not aim to make
and use all the manure he could? And
so when | recommend good tllage |
take it for granted that the extra crops
so produced will, to great extent at
least, be used for feeding stock and
making manure.

A company of British capitalists have
recently invested one million dollars in
water power in Augusta, Ga, for the pur-
pose of manufacturing cotton. A fine cot
ton mill is on the property, and it has been
proved that cotton can be spun there con-
siderably cheaper than in Old or New
England.

Permanent Pasturage.

r., South Cortland n. v, writes as
follows to the TINES:
Permanent pastures are very desira-
bic, and very necessary to produce fat
and good growth in cattle, also for
making a good quality and quantity
of butter and cheese | believe it is
generally conceded, among frst-cass
butter-makers, that an old pasture makes
more butter and better color and tirmer
quality than newly-seeded ground, and
it is so in regard to cheese As an
illustration showing the effect of grasses
upon milk, was talking a few years ago
with son of the late Jesse Williams
(the father of cheese factories, as he is
termed) upon this subject lie was at
that time in charge Of factory in
Tompkins County, Newly DIRK Some of
the patrons of the factory pastured their
cows on low, wet ground, and he stated
that he might be blindfolded, and he
could tell the milk that was taken from
those diaries by the smell, and | do not
doubt it, for | have noticed in the Spring
of the ;ear if a COW got to leeks in the
woods, you would know it very soon by
the smell of the milk Allowing this to
be true it behooves us to pay more at
tentiOn to our pastures, for if the milk
is tainted, as a matter of course the
cheese or butter will be tainted also
We are too apt to think that when our
land is not fit for anything else, it will
do for pasture. This considers wrong
idea. To be sure, there are some lands
that are not easily titled ana make very
good pasture, but, generally speaking,
we are neglectful aboct the care of our
pastures, when, in reality, there is no
part of the farm that would pay better
for little care For instance, it fire.
quently occurs that we have some places
in our pastures where the soil is thin.
BY spreading little manure over these
places it will form a heavy sod, and
will be less liable to suffer from drought.
Or if you should have some wet places.
a little draining will not hurt it, and
spread over little coarse manure or
straw to warm it up Do not think
that manure will hurt your pastures, or
that it is wasteful, or that it will paw
better some otherw way. The richer YOU
get your pasture lands the less land it
requires for that purpose, and the quail
ity of the grasses will be better and
more nutritious. 1t will not do if your
soil is dry to sow plaster | be lieve in
sowing every Spring, and in good sea-
son. You will see that the grass will
have a beautiful dark-green color, and
the white clover will also start up and
that is one of the best of grasses for
butter or cheese The fact of old or
permanent pastures being preferable to
newly seeded was firmly impressed on
my mind when boy. | noticed that
when the cattle were put in newly
seeded pastures they always ate the
grass close on the old sod near the
fences, while the grass on the sod
would be rank and tall, and came to
the conclusion that they were the best
judges Of the sweetness of the grasses.

Send for Your Pas!or.

Send for your pastor in case OF sick
ness or affliction of any kind. First'
because il he is qualified for his office,
be ought to be able 10 instruct you as to
duty, and to comfort 30 far as consola-
ton can be had. Second, because if
he is a true and faithful minister, he
would like to see you, at such an hour,
in the hope OF doing you good. Third,
because unless you send for him, he
may not hear of your sickness or Attic
ton ; or II he does hear, he may be in
doubt, at least in many cases, whether
YOU wish to see him. You do not e1-
pect the physician to know OF your Ill.

YOU expect your pastor to know

presumption is that the fault is with
