had cold meat minoed-I gave the chill

medicine for expelling what most chill
dren suffer from-worms. I believe
mire were kept free by this remedy
alone. Not only boiled onions for din
ner, but chives also they were encour-
aged to eat with their bread and butter,
andefor fthis purpose they had tufts Of
chives in their little gardens. 1t was a

Award Absa. Old Pastures.
There is no economy in permitting the
sod in an old pasture 10 remain undis-
turbed after it fails to yield q good sup
plyof food for stock. Top-dressings of
manure or lime may be beneficial and
occasionally revive the decreasing her
baHe, but the most certain, method of
restoring the nutritious grasses is to
break up the sod and seed down again.
1t is got always advisable or necessary to
put. M o. crop Of grain, or to summer
fallow, but the sod may be turned over
and often, giving 1t q thorough harrow
ing, and SOW on the seed. If this is
done In. the fall Abefore cold weather, q
fair yield of grass may be obtained the
foiiowing summer. The decaying of the
old inverted sod will afford nutriment to
the new growth of grass. It is usually
well enough to SOW lime upon the sod
just bsfore Or after putting in the seed,
as thisrwilf ala in Fastening the decay of

Stony pastures, which cannot be
plowed,, may be benefited by passing o
sharp tooth harrow over the sod, cut
ting and breaking it up sufficiently to
admit the, introduction Of q little fresh
grass seed The tame grasses in pas.
lures seldom have an opportunity of
producing seed, and the roots after a
while become killed out through the
constant streading of stock, and their
place is occupied with wild and less
nutritious species Blue grass and red
top are excellent pasture grasses to intro
duce IN this way, but where blowing
can be doneit Is certainly preferable to
narrowing only. Fall is the best time
to renoyate or improve old or new pas
lures, and Q little time expended upon
them WI fFeqqently prove to be q
