The More Grass the Moro Proo,
speed the E'IORr."

How shall the original fertility of rho
soil be restored is great problem which
1t is our duty to solve. 1t can be solved
by introducing proper system of rotation
OF crops, and by growing more grass md
less grain. Our salvation consists in the
practical recognition of the Belgian
proVero: mo grass, no cattle; no cattle,
,ic manure; no manure. no crops" A dis
uict ol country which is so exclusively or
ilaihiy natural grass-growing section has
"ltnin llseli all the clements of successful
asli9ultuIe' provided its operations are
conducted with system and economy. A
country having soil naturally adapted to
grass IS IN great measure able to live
within Itself, and not be dependent upon
an exchange OF commodities with other
dlstrlcts. Upon such a soil as this the
farmer has at hand the means to secure
Whatever lie desires, or, to apply the
proverb already quoted, he has corn, cattle
ana manures. In fact grass and stock hus-
Dahdry IS almost the only branch of farm
ing which seems to render man more indie
pendent. The preservation of the fertility
OF our soils and the profitable and increas-
eel production OF the cereals can best be
secured by growing grass extensively
me question has been asked why it is that
France, which has three acres to one under
cultivation when compared with England,
produces in the aggregate no more than
the latter 1t is accounted for in this way:
English grain land receives the manure
from three acres of grass, while in France
the manure from each acre of grass must be
UNUSED over two and halfacres of grain.
Such system as is adopted in England is in
accordance with natures laws and it is the
one winch must eventually be adopted by
intelligent American farmers. Such svs-
TEN constitutes good tllage, and there is
no more limit to the capability of the rich
prairie lands that stretch away in almost
endless perspective than there is in the
atoms which exist in the atmosphere, in
the ocean and in the solid earth. 1t does
require, however, both study and applied
science to change pound of air into IL
pound of wheat, corn, meat or wool To the
best advantage. -Ru7uL Wor11

Send the Best to Market,

FARMERS and produce growers cannot be
too careful in asserting and preparing
produce Tor market; in particular when
sent from a distance by railroad or steam
boat. For instance, John Jones digs from
ms farm ten barrels of potatoes. Now if
Jones would take the time and care to as
sort said potatoes, selecting the Lest and
UNIFORM In size, and in this way reduce
the ten barrels to eight, the eight barrels
would sell for as much, if not more, than
the ten barrels of large, small and inferior
ones indifferently mixed In this case Mr..
Jones gets as much for eight barrels as he
would otherwise for ten he also saves the
expense of two barrels, the freight and
carriage on the same, and in addition, he
has two barrels of small potatoes for his
own table or he can cook and feed them to
his pigs and fowls.
In sending truits-apples, peaches, and
pears III particular send only the best
uniform in size, and prompt sale at a fair
price will certainly follow.
Ii you have hundred or IL thousand
bushels of wheat for sale, don't ship it UNI
til it is perfectly clean-put it through the
tanning mill dozen times rather than
send 1t to market in an imperfect condi-
ton. In every instance send the best, and
keep the inferior article at home and feed
it to stock, and in this way farming will
pay handsome profit.-BOrys Journal.

WHO Is THE BEST FARMER 2-Thc best
farmer is he who raises the best and larg-
est crops on the smallest surface of land at
the least expense, and at the same time an
nually improves his soil; who understands
his business and attends to it; whose ma
nure heap is very large and always in
creasing; whose corn-crib and smoke-ho
are at home; who is surrounded by the
necessaries and comforts of life; who stud
les his profession and strives to reach per-
lection in it; who keeps a strict account
of all Ills out-goes as well as incomes, and
who knows how he stands at the end Of
each season. Such farmer, in nine times
out of ten, will succeed, and not only make
farming pleasant buta profitable occu-
patton. Try it and see how it is yourself,
reader.

HUMAN NATURE IN A HoRsE-There is
II good deal of human nature in a horse
A friend was recently telling us of a lazy
animal owned by an acquaintance of his,
which lie was accustomed to harness with
another horse of more willing disposition.
The lazy brute soon discovered the readi.
ness of his companion to take the burden
on himself, and accordingly when load
was to be started it became his invariable
custom to give his mate nudge with his
shoulder, by way of squirting him up to
his work. The cunning animal thus es-
capped his fair share of the labor, the more
willing horse always responding to this
gentle reminder. How very human, to be
sure. We have all seen individuals who
were ready to take advantage of the good
nature of their acquaintance, and shilt
their burdens upon other shoulders

A SHoEMAKER's SoPHIsTRY.-You can't
get an old shoemaker to blunder. The
other day when a weighty woman sailed
into Detroit shoe store and selected a
pair of No. As and sat down to have them
tried on, the shoemaker saw that she want
ed rs. But he didn't tell her so, and start
her out of the shop on gallop. He smiled
and softly said:
MADAM, all the aristocratic. ladies are
now wearing shoes three sizes foo large for
their feet in order to have cool extrcmi-
ties, and of course you want to follow the
style4"
She smiled like duck in reply 20 his
smile, and replied:
"You are in position to know best,
and leave everything to your Judgment"
When she went out she said she never
had such an easy -ftting shoe on in her
whole life. Detroit Free Press.

CUTTINGS IN SUMMER.-Thosc who never
tried it will be surprised at the case with
which great number of Towering shrubs
and other plants may be propagated with
the simplest apparatus. A frame of any
convenient size, made of four six inch
boards nailed together, and screen to
cover it, are required this screen may be
piece OF cotton cloth, tackled to frame
made of laths or other light strips; its OBJ
Ject being to shade and to keep in the
moisture. Set this propagating frame
where the soil is light and sandy, in
place where it will be shaded in the heat
OF the day, and put in cuttings made from
half-ripened wood of all kinds of shrubs,
cuttings of geraniums, and other things of
which is desirable to have small plants
Keep the earth within the frame moist,
and raise an edge of the screen an inch or
more during the hot part of the day. This
is rough way, but it will make many
plants with little trouble. All shrubs will
not take root from such cuttings, but many
will

How TO ABATE A FEW NUIsANCEs.-A
few drops of carbolic acid in pint of wa
ter will clean house plants from lice in q
very short time. If mosquitoes or other
bloodsuckers infest your sleeping-rooms at
night uncork bottle of the oil of penny
royal and these insects leave in great haste,
nor will they return so long as the air in
the rooms is loaded with the fumes of that
aromatic herb. If rats enter the cellar, a
little powdered potash thrown into their
holes, or mixed with meal and scattered
in their runways, never fails to drive them
away. Cayenne pepper will keep the but
terry and storeroom free from ants and
cockroaches. If a mouse makes an entrance
into any part of your dwelling, saturate
rag with cayenne in solution and stuff it
into the hole, which can then be repaired
with either wood or mortar. No rat or
mouse will eat that rag for the purpose of
opening communications with depot of
supplies.
