ANswER-We do not believe soiling,
that is cutting green grass and sarrying 1t
10 the stock in the barn, can be practiced
with advantage at the present prices OF labor,
except under very favorable circumstances.
If, as we understand IL, these twenty acres
are all the grassland our correspondent has,
and he wishes to utilize II TO the utmost for
the production of feed for cows, we would
advise him TO consult the valuable paper
upon The Grass Crop" by |. d. r. Collins,
in the report Of our Board Of Agriculture for
1874. Mr.. Collins description OF the opera
tons Of Mr.. Amasa Scott, Of Craftsbury,
upon his twenty acre farm, will apply well
TO the wants of our correspondent--better
probably, than anything we can write We
will say, however, that we believe in feed
ing mixture of meal and bran to cows, all
the year round 1t viii add to the milk,
and what is quite as important, to the value
of their dung and the annual application OF
this dung, in the form of well-made compost,
to the grassland, Immediately after haying,
will force a powerful growth, and keep the
crop constantly improving, year after year
by thus growing three crops Of hay year,
soiling in a modified form is rendered prac-
tcablc, since the cows may be fed in the
barn, with this dried grass" and there is
no difficulty in getting fifty tons Of it from
twenty acres, which, with the grain feed,
will keep ten cows the year round. They
ought, however, to have a good yard to run
out in, plenty of running water and cool
shade from trees or sheds.

The Pint of Ale.

A Manchester calico printer was on his
wedding-day, asked by his wife to allow her
two half pints day as her share of extra
comforts He made the bargain, but not
cheerfully, for though drinker himself
(fancying no doubt, that he could not well
do without) he would have preferred a per
fectly sober wife. They both worked hard.
John loved his wife, but he could not break
away from his old associations Of the ale
house. and when not in the factory or at his
meals he was with his boon COMPANY IONS
His wife made the small allowance meet her
housekeeping expenses, keeping her cot neat
and tidy, and he could not complain that
she insisted upon her daily pint OF ale, while
ne, very likely, drank two or three quarts.
Once in a while the wife succeeded, by gen
tie, loving artifce, in drawing her husband
home an hour or two earlier than usual, and
very rarely she persuaded him to spend a
whole evening in her company.
They had been married year, aud the
morning of their wedding anniversary John
looked with real pride upon the neat and
comely person of his wife, and, with touch
of remorse in his look and tone, he said
Mary, wen had no holiday sin we We're
wed, an only that haven't penny i tn
world, we'd take jaunt to tn village to see
tn mither."
"Would't like TO go, John ?" she asked.
There was a tear with her smile, for it touched
her heart to hear him speak tenderly, as in
the old time. "lf the'd like TO 90, John,
I'll stand treat"
"Thou stand treat, Mary Has got for
tun' left thee ?"
NAY, but I'm gotten the pint of ale, Z"
said she.
"Gotten what, wife ?"
The pint O. ale" she repeated.
And thereupon she went to the hearth and
from beneath one OF the stone flags drew
forth a stocking, from which she poured
upon the table the sum of three hundred
and six-fve three-pence-four pound eleven
shilling and three-p
See, John, thee can have the holiday
What is this p he asked in amazement
It's my daily pint o ale, john"
lie was eonscience-stricken, as well as
alarmed.
Mary, hasn't thee had thy share Then
I'll ha' no more fro this day"
And he was as good as his word. They
had their holiday with the old mother and
Marys little capital, saved from the " pints
O. ale, was the seed from which, as the years
rolled on, grew shop, factory, warehouse,
country seat and carriage, with health, hap
piness peace, honor and renown.

Position Of the Grange.

The Rural Ne,c Yorker reviewing the
prospects of the Patrons Of IIusbandry, says
Despite numerous predictions of failure,
the records show that the Patrons of Illus
bandry organization was never in so pros
porous condition as now. 1t certainly never
exerted wider influence, and there are no
signs that its success is TO decrease. For
the first time in the one hundred years dur
ing which we have been an independent peo-
pie the farmers, planters, and farm laborers
of the country have felt themselves prepared
TO enforce their ideas with regard to impor-
tant public measures. The grange, as the
chief organized representative of the farmer,
will naturally take the lead in expressing his
wishes and it will do this not by fayoring
one or the other OF the political parties, but
by supporting measures and policies which
appeal to the good sense of both Educa-
ton, temperance, economy in public affairs,
the rebuke of extravaganza and corruption,
and the establishment of strict accountable
ity of all officials to the people are ideas in
/ WHICH tle Cllel Stilll-oNlCldl representative
of the American people may naturally be
supposed to feel deep interest. The grange
not only represents the largest body of men
and women in the country, but is itself the
most numerous and influential of American
organizations, comprising about twenty-se
thousand separate oranges while the Odd
Fellows and Masons combined number only
nineteen thousand nine hundred and eighty
one lodges, or little less than twenty thou
sand in the world. In the number of its
members the superiority Of the order of p
of II. is probably still greater than in its or
CARNATIONS. No doubt the older bodies pos
sess more wealth. and it is probable that in
this respect the superiority of Masons and
and Odd Fellows will always be manifest
The grange is of modest and humble origin
which we trust its leading members viii evei
remember. Its glory lies in the fact that i
represents the plain, working and producing
classes of the country, and its strength is il
the increasing necessity which the scattered
rural population have felt for more intimate
social relations and organizations for mutua
instruction, interest and advantage"

GETTING RID OF STUMPs.-Some one, not
long ago, started the idea that sulphuric acid
would totally destroy stumps. An augur
hole was to be bored in the top, filled with
sulphuric acid, and plugged. In day or
two the stump would be eaten up, even TO
the very roots. The experiment was tried,
and failed, only portion Of the stump, at
the top, being affected, The following
method is recommended by the Scientific
American In the autumn bore hole one to
two inches in diameter, according to the
girth of the stump, vertically in the center
of the latter, and about eighteen inches
deep Put into itfrom one to two ounces salt
petre; fill the hole with water and plug up
close. In the ensuing spring take out the
plug and pour in about one-half gill of kero-
sene oil and ignite it. The stump will
shoulder away without blazing, TO the very
extremity of the roots, leaving nothing but
ashes. General Colquitt, of Georgia, in re-
cent address, also gives the following method
" TO remove stumps from field, all that is
necessary is to have one or more sheet-iron
chimneys, some four or five feet high. Set
fire to the stump and place the chimney over
it, so as to give the requisite draft at the
bottom. 1t will draw like stove. The
stump will soon be consumed. With several
such chimneys, of different sizes, the removal
of stumps may he accomplished at merely
nominal labor and expense"
