The Vernal Seed Time.

The long and dreary reign of winter is
past. Beauteous and cheering spring is
with us once again. The vcrnal seed
time invites tilers of the soil to speed the
pillow, to thrust in the spade, to scatter the
seed and to perform promptly their appro-
pirate part toward producing desired and
remunerative crops. But while the snow
banks are disappearing and the soil is
settling and being warmed by the enliven-
ing sunbeams. 1t is of first importance to
prepare ourselves for work. Everything
is SO constituted that a vast amount of.
hard and irksome drudgery must be per-
formed. There is much sound sense in
the careless remark Of the "son of Erin"
that it is never aisy to work hard" Yet
if one can only train himself to think that
manual labor is not dishonorable, that
hard-ilsted industry will contribute i'm
mensely to lis health, comfort, happiness
and pecuniary improvement, fatiguing
labor will 60 comparatively easy. One
needs to make up his mind deliberately
to feel satisfied with his occupation. One
of the most annoying sources of discom-
fort and unhappiness is the fact that most
persons are dissatisfied with their lot,
with their surroundings. They want to
change their occupation; they desire to
sell out and go to some other place. But
when one does sell out and make a change
he seldom finds what he anticipated.
Hence it will be far better to
cultivate spirit of contentment
and satisfaction with ones surround
ings. 1t is rare occurrence that
one can find life work entirely agreeable
to all his tastes and inclinations. Success
always lies at the top of hill If we
would reach it we can do so only by hard,
persevering effort while beset with Diff
culties of every kind. Genius counts
nothing in the battle Of life. Determined,
obstinate perseverance in one single
channel is everything. Hence should
any one be debating ia his mind change
of business, imagine he has a genius
for some other, let him at once dismiss
the thought as he would a temptation to
do evil. If you think you made mis-
take in choosing the pursuit or profession
you did don't make another by leaving it.
Spend all your energies in working for
and clinging TO it as you would to the life
boat that sustained you in the midst of
the ocean. If you leave your present oc-
cupation ii is almost certain that you will
go down; but if you cling to it, inform
ing yourself about it till you are its mas
ter, bending your every energy to the
work, success will be certain. Hard, la
borious and honest effort steadily perse-
vered in will make your love for your
business or profession grow. We are al
lowed to see and feel the roughness in
our own pathway, while we are too apt to
see only the smooth sailing of others.
Let us bring our minds up to this point and
then we shall be ready to work in the field
or garden with cheerful and energetic
determination to play our part in good
time and with effioiency.-N. Y. Herald.

muck and barnyard manure for twenty
five to fifty cents cubic yard On most
farms the supply and value of manure
can be trebled as we'll as not by the use of
muck. Bones can be pounded up during
winter With sledge- hammer, and mixed
with ashes or fermenting manure, or sown
directly on the land. Many a dead sheep,
horse or OK. is buried which should be
cut up in pieces and mixed with the
manure. On one of the poor barren
islands near the eastern coast of Maine,
saw the heaviest growth of timothy | ever
heard Of 1t was six feet high, and had
been literally treated with fish guano. If
a farmer can really once believe that it is
profitable to pay good attention to his
grass land he will find ways enough to
increase the quantity of his fertilizers

Managing Pastures and Meadows.

Pastures are usually fed closely. es-
pecially in dry time. Stock are allowed
to run in them in the fall as long as there
is green thing in sight. The foliage is
all taken off clear down, including part
of the roots, which are left weak and ex-
posed all winter and spring. During
winter, stock ramble over fields, killing
the grass under their feet Before the
frost is out of the ground cattle are dig
ging away at the old turf again and tread
ing it up full of holes. In this way the
poor grass is beaten and eaten and half
starved until, after a time, depending
upon the strength of the soil, the grass is
said to run out" and the field to :" need
breaking up" This is not the way to
treat grass land.
Meadows are often pastured for a fresh
bite in spring, the stock are turned of till
one crop is moved, and then back again
when they eat all off closely as in case of
the pasture Just noticed. Plants, TO re-
main strong and healthy, need at least a
little time to get nourishment ahead for
winter protection. Like animals, they
ought to 5e strong when winter sets i'll.
SO far as | have observed, almost moth
ing has been done III our country in the
way OF fertlilZlng and improving perma-
nent pasture We hardly know the value
of an excellent pasture of fine grasses all
summer, because very few have such to
feed.
1t may be objected that, it Is all well
enough to talk about the use of more
manure-to manure the grass land but
will it pay in this country Emphaiical-
", yes I refer you 10 some experiments
made by DR.. K c. Kedzie in top-dressing
meadows, printed in our report for 1864.
The outlay pays from thlrty-five 70 over
100 per cent. per annum. The top-dress-
ing used consisted in ashes, muck, plas-
ter, salt, COW and horse manure. We
have found at the Agricultural College
that we can make valuable compost OF
