A correspondent of the Elmira Far
mers' Club writes as follows: Far
mers who are IN want Of first class past
ure at least expense, for this season,
should prepare lot for the purpose and
SOW the same to winter rye; and they
will soon have a pasture for sheep,
calves, poultry, in fact any kind of
stock and for young lambs it cannot
be excelled. Heavy stock will trample
it into the ground, to some extent,
if put on early in the season, but later
they can be kept on it at profit. Win
ter rye sown in the spring will not head
out till the second year, but will stool
out SO as to cover the ground, produc-
ing a luxuriant mass of feed that will
pay every experimental trial. 1t can
be cut for soiling purposes the second
year for grown up.stock, or it can be
raised for pasture, as stated before, or
be allowed to attain its natural growth
and mature crop to harvest. 1t Will
also stand drouth very well, and enrich
the land. From one and a half to two
bushels per acre should be sown, ac.
cording to the wealth of the land"

sition, and il any one has doubt as to the
latter part, he has only TO turn to the rec

than this servant when once he has become
rebel. Keep him in his place, guard
him carefully. use him judiciously, and he
serves US well; but iet him creep beyond
his prescribed limits, treat him carelessly,
allow him to escape from behind his pris-
bars, and he will leap upon us with ir-
resistible fury, defying withering
and consuming all that comes in his way.
And yet there is no element that we trust
with such carelessness as fire. The lady
who shudders at the idea of tumblng into
the water, is comparatively Indifferent
about sweeping her muslin skirt across the
crate Our servants frequently light gas
and candles with piece of paper, which
they throw down and suppose to be extin-
guished by stamp Of the foot, but which
too often retains spark that becomes the
germ of great conHagration. Our chill
dren are allowed to make playthings of
matches, and our smokers puff cigars and
pipes in arm-yards and other highly COM
bustible places, or throw away fusees in
the streets, and, without even taking the
trouble to set a foot on them, leave them
thepe to the freedom of their own will.
Fire is all round us, ever near us, always
ready to burst it's bonds but our applian-
ees for its extinction in most towns are
very imperfect, while as to escape, we
leave that to chance. and the accidental
presence of men may happen to possess
knowledge and courage to act in cases of
emergency.
Surely this ought not so to be Every
man locks his door and bars his windows
each night. although he may have lived
half century without being troubled by
house-breakers. Not less necessary is Il
to guard ourselves against fire.
