A SCENE III TEXAS.

The herder on the mountain side
With curses casts him down;
A scowl is on his manly brow,
And on his cheak frown;
Sullen gazing down the vale
TSege something strikes his eve.
For to his mustang rushing
That quietly grazes by,
He springs upon the startled steed,
And squirting with loose rein,
Headlong he dashes down the hill
And OF across the plain:
With jaws hard set and flashing eyes,
Flushed face and quickened breath,
He rides like one that rushes on
To victory or death.
The sun strikes hot upon his brow;
Spattered with foam and mud,
The clanking spurs upon his heels,
At every stroke draw blooG;
The gentle stirring summer breeze
Swift grows into gale.
The tall tops of the prairie grass
Strike in his face like hail.
Through river broad he holds his course
Nor bridge nor ford he seeks
The waves he leaves behind are tinged
With blood and foam in streaks;
His long hair streaming wild bshind,
And shirt of scarlet hue,
Smoke in the hot blaze of the sun
As swift he rides in view.
His steed upon his launches thrown,
He vaults to earth in haste,
And with savage oath exclaims:
Haint had dog-goned taste
Of whiskey since l bust my flask;
Stranger mought you have someP
Thar now, 1 knowed I was in luck,
When fust I seed We come"

RURAL AND DOMESTIC.
Profit OF Sheep,

There is probably no stock on the
farm that can be made to pay better
than sheep if they are rightly managed.
With less than a pound of grain per
day to each, in addition to good hay Or
roots in due proportion, they thrive re-
markedly, and gain in flesh and wool
at rate that is often surprising. In
addition to this the manure is always a
source Of profit, especially as reno
vator of worn-out soils. We have
known number of cases of farms bad
ly run down that have been efectually
restored almost entirely by means of
sheep manure. If any of our readers
have land that is hard to reclaim, we
advise them to try this method, and
they will soon discover the truth of the
adage that "the tread of the sheep is
golden

The Cabbage as a Field Crop.

Among the most profitable crops to
be grown on the farm, cabbages hold
an important place. They are not by
any means so extensively cultivated as
they deserve to be. In the vegetable
garden they are of course indispensable
for family use. But to every farmer
who raises stock it is scarcely less i'm
portant as a field crop. About ten
thousand heads can be raised on an
acre, which, at the low estimate of
three cents per head, amount to three
hundred dollars in value. But if taken
from the field and sold at this price,
there still remain the loose leaves and
stalks which afford considerable
quantity of nutriti us food to mich
COWS at time when grass begins to
fail, promoting and keeping up flow
of milk in the fall which is not easily
obtained from any other food.
Where the soiling system has been
adopted cabbages should by all means
be used as one of the crops in the sue
cession. The elder Mr. Quincy, of
Massachusetts, who is the highest au-
thority on the subject, regards cabbage
among the most important plants for
soiling purposes. They come in play
at time when the nutritive value of
grasses has been injured by frosts, and
when the food Of stock is changing
from succulent grasses to dry fodder,
and are therefore especially valuable
for the dairy.
Cabbages may be grown on almost
any soil that is adapted to corn, if an
abundance of we'll rotted manure is
used. The manure of the hog-pen usu-
ally produces the best results.
This vegetable has been greatly inn
proved within a few years, and some of
the varieties are very superior. 1t is
highly nutritious, and the yield is very
productive. An acre will easily grow
10000 heads, and, at an average of five
pounds each, would produce twenty
five tons. 1t is probable that by select
ing the larger varieties, and manuring
abundantly, this product could be near
ly doubled.

Pasturing Meadows.

If there is one practice more than an
other, about which the opinions of
farmers differ, that practice is the
treatment Of meadow lands. Different
soils, seasons, climate, all having their
influence in producing varying results.
This, it is true, is the case with other
crops than that taken from the mead
ows, but with the meadow even in the
same localities where it would seem
that soil, climate and seasons, are al
most identical, we find the same varia-
tons in practice, the follower of each
system either satisfied that his is the
best, or that he has become really con-
founded by the apparent contradictory
results that the years bring forth. We
were struck by this confusion of ideas
and results. In reading a late discus
sion on the subject by the Elmira IN.
" Farmers Club, the president said
that he had supposed tnat pasturing
meadows in the fall was injurious, but
he had visited the Orange Co. dairy
men, and found them turning their stock
out on their meadows, Immediately
after taking the hay off, and that they
kept up most excellent meadows. He
has tried it himself, turning in after the
middle of September, and thought his
meadow was improving. His conclu-
sion seems very good one, when he
says that for flat lands, largely compos-
ed of gravel, or other porous soil, he
would keep cattle off until the grass
has attained a good start and that then
it should not be eaten very closely
President Thomas, Of the Troy Club,
had experimental considerable, but
was not satisfied as to the best practice
He lad practiced fall feeding on his
meadows, because Of the necessity
which he felt of obtaining the fullest re
turns possible from his fields. Las
year a small meadow of which he de
sired to take special care was left I'm
disturbed throug h the fall-no a hoo
was turned upon it. Another meadow
near by in the second year after seed
ng was closely pastured. On the form

fits derived from the of VEGETINE, and to bene-
fit others, will state:
When eight or nine years old I afflicted with
ScrOtua which made its appearance in my eyes, face
and head, and was very near blind for two years.
All kinds Of operations were performed on my eyes,
and All to no good result; Finally the disease prn :
cipally settled in my body limbs and feet, and at
times in aggravated way.
Last summer was, from some cause, weak in my
spine and kidneys, and it at times very hard to
retain the urine. Seeing your advertisement in the
Commercial, bought bottle of VEGETINE, and
commenced using according to directions. In two
or three days obtained great, relief. After using
four five bottles noticed it had wonderful eff

legs still used YEGETINE and the humorous
sores after another disappeared until they were
all gone and attribute the of the two diseases
to VEGET1NE, and nothing else.
If am affected with anything of the kind
again, shall try VEGETINE as the ONLY reliable
remedy. Once more accept my thanks, and believe
me to be, Very respectfully,

HONEST OPINION!

Mr.. H. r. STEVENS
Dear Sir-Ths ia to show that my taken
sick in January, 1854, with Scrofua, which came out
in large and ulcers his leg and hip. His leg
was sweed more than twice it's natural size. He had
several doctors of high standing in their profession
two from Boston and three from Charestown-
without getting bit better He was obliged to lie
wherever he placed, for he had use of his
limbs whatever. When we had given zen, up all hopes Of
blood remedy; and he had taken it but short time
before we could see great change. The sores run
SO bad that had to change the cloths four five
times day Still he was getting better for he could
soon able to sit up in bed, and, by constant use of
VEGETlNE, it has cured him. He has a lame leg,
which he will probably have for life but all hon
estly believe if we had used VEGETINE before we
had bothered with those DOCTORS it would have saved
the use Of his Leg and restored it to natural health
hope all those troubled with Scrofula will read this
testimony of me and my. son, who is now well, and
able to speak for himself.

shows the quick and thorough cleansing effects of

Bee Enemies.

Never put swarm of bees in an old
hive, as there will almost certainly be
the eggs of the honey moth deposited
in the crevices of the hive, which will
hatch out and probably destroy the
swarm. Nothing is more to be dread
ed by the bee keeper than the moth,
and when they once gain an entrance
to the hive the bees appear as if pow
erless to expel them, although they
will seize them savagely at the en-
trance. When moths have once estab-
lished themselves in 8 hive, and the
maggots begin to eat their way through
the combs, the sooner the bees are
fumigated and put into another hive
the better, as for them to remain with
the moth maggot will be certain dc
struction to them. Moths as we'll as

What to Plant ?

This inquiry is often raised by far
mers, but it is one which every man
can best answer for himself, provided
he has the necessary facts on which to
form his judgment. Unless the ma
terial facts are all clearly presented, no
man can safely advise him. If they
are thus presented, he is then in very
little need Of advice. In fact, there are
no two cases in which the conditions
are precisely alike. One man would
perhaps find that, as a leading crop, tur-
nips would pays the best; another
would find his interest in corn; third
would possibly see more money in
sugar beets; a fourth in potatoes; and
SO on through the catalogue. The con-
ditions that determine the profit are
different in each case. Therefore if
each of the above men plants accord
ing to the conditions of his own case he
will make profit. But if they should
change crops all round, aoittosa changing
conditions, it is nearly certain they
would all lose.- Christian Union.

Curing Cheese.

MIR. n. a. willard, at a recent meet
ing of the Vermont Dairymen's Asso-
citation, made the following points re-
garding the temperature, use Of the
refrigerator, and the proper quantity of
fat to be retained in curing cheese:
1. That by proper temperature and
attention In retaining a right proper
ton of moisture, the cheese is not only
of better favor and quality, but saw
ing in weight Of from three to four per
cent. is made to the producer over the
ordinary methods of curing.
2. That by the use of refrigerator
rooms, a cheese may be kept at any
desirable point of flavor; and thus by
holding when the markets are dull, or
the weather unsuitable for shipping,
the intervening space of time may be
b1idged over by the factories without
detriment to the favor or quality of
the cheese.
8. That with our present knowledge
of cheese making a certain amount OF
fat in the milk is needed to make a
good, palatable cheese. Hence exces-
sive Swimming, or reduction of the
fat in milk below one and a half Or
two per cent, is not to be recommended
where the skinned milk is to be made
into cheese, unless other fat be substi-
tuted to supply the deficiency.
The Household.
PECULIARs.-One pint of -four sifted
with one teaspoonful of royal baking
powder, ~ little salt, one egg. Mix
with one pint of milk; beat WELL and
bake quick in buttered gem pans.
GRAHAM GEMs.-Thoroughly mix two
teaspoonfuls royal baking powder with
one quart Graham flour, little salt;
beat well. Have the gem pan heated
hot, butter it, and drip into with a
spoon.
MoLAssEs, if bought by the barrel or
half barrel, should be kept in the Gel
lar. If bought in small quantities, it
should be kept in demijohn. No
vessel should be corked or bunged, if
filed with molasses, as it will swell and
burst the vessel or run over.
Soft GINGERBREAD.- egg, well
beaten; one cup molasses, one cup
sur cream, one teaspoon soda, one tea
spoon brown sugar, or one quarter as
much white ginger root; Hour enough
SO the batter will just run from the
spoon.
HALLS Journal of Health thus sums
up some of the uses of salt: 1t will cure
sick headache, make cream freeze,
make the butter come, take ink stains
out of cloth of any kind, kill weIs, kill
worms, make the ground cool; so 1t IL
more congenial to celery, cabbage, etc:
1t will cease the itching pain caused
by irritating skin diseases, like hives
itch, etc. 1t will p1oduce vomiting, OF
stop it, as you like; and many other
things, too numerous to mention. AL
pure salt will do this, to a certain de.
gree, but sea salt is the most effectual
! In its action.
