she won in the deciding heat; and in 1858

LONELY BELLIES AT SARATOGA A New
York girl was troubling her soul and the
friends few evenings ago with plans for
a stage party to drive to the scene of the
collegiate athletic sports. She could get
plenty Of ladies, but who wanted to 90
with dozen girls and one man? At last
she put the responsibility of escorts upon
Il gentleman, who promised to procure
the services of half u dozen chums.

to look at his companion seemed painful
to him, but she was in high spirits, for
this conquest was an Englishman Of note.
The lady was pretty and stylish, and
wondered how long the young Britisler

MAKING THE FARM PRODUCTIVE. A
great many experiments with chemicals
have been indulged in to test and bring
up the productive capacity Of soils. Dis
sentng from Il too frequent repetition of
these experiments. a correspondent of the
Prairie Farmer INDUCES in the following
very sensible observation on this subject.
Abiding to the well-known efforts of
thoroughly practical farmers, the cores
pondent says:
The experience of John johnson,
of Geneva, New York, and other intelli-
gent farmers, prolonged Tor forty or more
years, has conclusively shown that by
draining. the use Of clover and grass. and
proper rotation of crops from one field to
another on the same farm, the land can be
continually increased in fertility and pro-
ductlveness, without any extra cost for
buying manures or applying them, or any
increased farm labor. All that is required
is intelligence and skill to direct the or
dinary labor of the farm.
The five field course is usually the most
approved system at the present time. A
farm is divided into five equal portions,
and some OF these are put in grass, others
i'll corn, wheat, barley, oats or other small
grain crops rs the experience Of the owner
directs him. While one field is kept in
grass tor two, and occasionally more
years, no other crop is repeated more than
one season. Alr johnson has declared that
by this course his land could he made too
rich for wheat, though net for Indian corn.

Remedy for Short Pastures.

Those who have a limited range of pas
ture, and keep stock enough to crop it
close, are always at the mercy Of the
weather. If there chance to be favoring
rains, and Il good season for the growth
of grass and clover, all is well but if, as
frequently occurs, there comes long
period of drouth, the brown fields, already
close cropped, fail entirely, having little
to protect the roots from the full power of
the sun, and the cattle suffer, and milk
pals show serious diminution, the dairy
profits shrink, and the effect of the drouth
will be felt throughout the season, for
much of the pasture being thus summer
killed, the full flow Of milk can hardly be
regained.
This may be guarded against 10y put
ting in a small plot OF corn, sorghum,
millet, or other suitable crop for cutting
and feeding green. An acre of corn sown
broadcast will very soon yield sufficient to
give great relief to the short pasture. 1t
is not necessary to stable The cows; cut
good supply OF them, and feed night and
morning before they leave the yard; they
will eat it with a relish, and make ample
returns in the milk-pan and the ehurn.
Even if the threatened drouth does not
come, and abundance OF grass should
grow, the solling cup need not be lost.
Cut at the proper season, and properly
cured, 1t will not come amlss next winter.

1t will be seen that the cost OF the ma
nure on the ground and mixed, was about
twcnty-four dollars for each acre of cab
bage. AS any farmer of experience
knows, as a rule, to insure a first rate
crop of each of these varieties OF cab
bages, at least six cords of good stable
manure to the acre would be required; Z;
and as every farmer of experience also
knows, such manure landed in the field
costs. on the average, ten dollars to the
cord, which would make the cost for each
acre of cabbages $50, on the side of barn
manure, and, for the three acres, $3.50,
against S71 80 on the side of the mixture
But the common farmer may say that
the six cords will leave residue in the
ground which the grass crop will find
when the land is laid down. True, but so
will the mixture leave considerable of
