MULCHING GRASS FOR WINTER.-The
importance of this practice, TO which
we have just alluded, is not generally
appreciated. Grazing short in autumn
is one of the very worst things that can
be done to meadows and pastures. If
any farmer will examine I'm spring such
of his fields as have been closely grazed
the previous season, he will fiEd the
grass slow and feeble in starting; but
where a good growth has been left the
previous autumn the new grass will be
found pushing strongly, while the
grazed portion has hardly started. 1t
is, therefore, of the utmost importance
for early pasturage that heavy mass
of grass remain TO cover the ground in
winter. 1t would be better to feed hay
and meal to cattle through October and
November than to destroy the copious
pasturage by allowing them to gDaw
the plants down to the roots. Some of
the best stock farmers make it an inn
portant point to retain mass of grass
in their pastures foot or more high
for entering winter, or as much as
would cut with a mowing-machine
nearly ton TO the acre. They have
early and rich pasturage in spring.
The importance of keeping meadows
also free from cattle in autumn is Obvi-
ous.-COuRtry Gentleman.

THE Michigan FARMER has this good
advice on feeding horses: "AlmOst Of
more Importance than the form in
which food is given are the frequency
and the regularity Ofmeals. The horses
digestive organs are not constructed for
long fasts. Long intervals without
food produce hunger, and hunger be-
gets voracity; food is bolted, and indi-
gestion and collie follow. This is dOubly
true and dangerous with horses doing
hard work. They come to their long
deferred meal not only hungry, but
exhausted; not only is the food bolted,
but the stomach is in such state as to
be incapable Of thoroughly active diges
ton, and is overpowered by half the
amount of food it could otherwise d.
gest.

Is IT advisable to let fowls roost out,
or are they better in poultry house at
night?
Many farmers advocate roosting in
trees until the cold fall weather, after
which they should have protection.
Roasting out In warm weather, espe-
cially with young fowls, is thought to
harden them and make them healthy !;
they are also less liable to be troubled
with lice.

MANURING IN FALL.-We have long
since made repeated observations con-
firming the truth that for many pur-
poses manure is worth at least twice as
much spread in autumn as the follow
ing spring. Yet the practice is not
uncommon with farmers, who may
have manure lying in their yards
through summer, TO omit the drawing
out till wanted the next season. Those
who feed cornstalks for fodder find it
too long and coarse to apply in the
spring next after feeding out; but the
heaps into which it should be thrown
will be well rotted by September. 1t
is then in perfect condition to be drawn
and applied. 1t does most good on
grass-lands; and if these are intended
to be inverted next spring for corn it
will give at least double the results pro-
duced by spring application. 1t will
impart vigorous start to grass in
tended to remain in pasture or meadow.
The advantages will be twofold. 1t
will increase the grass all through the
growing season OF autumn, and thus
producing good winter mulching for
the roots; and the wash of the manure
by rains will run down TO the roots and
become ditfused in a more perfect man
ner through the soil than could be ac-
complished by any mechanical means.

ROWLAND HILL, when at college. was
remarkable for his wit. In converse
ton on the powers of the letter IL, in
which it was cont.nded that it was no
letter, but simple aspiration, or breath
ing, Rowland took the opposite side Of
the question, insisted on its being, to
all intents and purposes, a letter, and
concluded by observing that If IL were
not true it was very serious affair to
him, as it would occasion his being
.'ill'' all the days of his life.

AGRICULTURAL.

WATERMELoNs VS.. BEEIs.-A con.
siderable amount of syrup and some
sugar are made from watermelons on
an island i'm the Sacramento River,
where that fruit gro VS. abundantly and
in perfection. Those engaged in the
work declare themselves satisfied with
the results, but are prOvOkingly absti-
nent in giving statistics to the press.
Melons with white pulp are most pre-
ferred. They are raised with but little
trouble on bOttOm-lands and cost only
half as much as beets, which have been
hitherto the only rival of the cane.
The juice flows out of the fruit through
q single cut i'm the rind; whereas beets
require to be sliced or rasped. 1t is
free from all dirt and impurities and is
not injuriously affected by the weather
in several days. 1t Is now delivered
in large quantities from the surround
ing country at the factory at Andros
Island. The seeds are pressed TO; oil
and the refuse is fed to cattlo. Though
the melon contains only per cent. of
saccharine matter, against s in the beet
it is claimed that this difference is more
than compensated for by the reduced
cost of raising and wO: king. The quail
ity of the sugar is said to be superior
to that of the beet; but upon this point
as upon all the other claims of the new
industry, the verdict of an impartial
jury would be preferred. The wa:er-
melon crop is profitable now for table
supply; but if its pretentiOns as a
source of sugar can be maintained, its
value to the country will be incalcula-
bly, increased. IL is ore of the most
certain crops i'm the South and some of
the Middle States. Ii it can fairly
rival beets-tO say nothing of its al
legged superiority in quality and cheap
ness-that will suffice, for beet sugar is
steadily growing in importance as Il
home product. Last year over 3,0O0,-
900 pounds were made in Sacramento
alone, and other factories in California
are doing well with it. A factory is
fourishing in Illinois, and capitalists
of some other states, particularly Maine
where the subject was deemed of con-
sequence enough by the governor to
occupy place in his last message, are
thinking of trying the business

was really a polite means of effecting a

The Wealth of Brazil.

All intelligent travellers who have
visited Brazil speak in the most glowing
terms of the country. Prof. Agassiz
regarded it as the most productive and
interesting country on the globe, and
the one in which it is the easiest to
obtain II livelihood. Some who have
sailed up the Amazon declare that IA
vessel can be loaded with Brazil nuts at
an expense of only II few cents per
bushel. These constitute a valuable ar
ticle of commerce, while the oil extract
ed from them is very desirable. All the
tropical fruits are produced in Brazil
almost without cultivation. The soil in
many parts of the country will produce
twenty successive crops of cotton, to-
bacco, or sugar cane, without the APP
plication of manure. No country in the
world approaches the land of Dom
Pedro in the variety of forest produc-
tions. Prof. Agassiz states that he saw
III different kinds of valuable woods
that were cut from a piece of land not
half a mile square. They represented
almost every variety Of color, and many
of them were capable of receiving a high
polish. One tree furnishes wax that is
used for candles; another a pith that is
used for food; and still another yields
a juice which is used in the place of in.
~toXicating liquor. There is a single
variety of palm from which the natives
obtain food, drink, clothing, bedding,
cordage, fishing-tackle, medicine, and
the material they manufacture into
dwellings, weapons, harpoons ant
musical instruments. Doubtless the
day is not distant when the valuable
woods of Brazil will be used for various
useful and ornamental purposes. Brazi
is not only 50 wooden country" but
country that produces the most heauti
full woods in the world.
