How stOes Improves Land

An English farmer of large eSpeIisnce
says:
There ere men 80 obtuse that they can
not be made to see that grazing with
variety of stock Improves land and adds
to fertility. 1t IS a well knowt fact that
grass or any heritage does not rob the soil
till it blooms and begins to form ICED ;
therefore, when grass land, having ali the
varieties, which are not injured b1t bene-
flied by = continual moderate treading
and cropping off by horses, cows and
sheep pastured thereon, is kept from ap-
preaching an old seeded stage; there is
scarcely anything exhausting to the soil.
All the manure and the urine ere en- sd-
dition of more benefit to tie land than
the herbage pastured off. The grszing
with variety of animals in such propor.
ton as a stock-raising farmer or a good
experienced grazier ought to know bow
to keep in each field, will cause an even,
regular biting off all over the surfsce,
and there will not be parts untouched,
and other parts almost eaten to the roots.
II farmers would notice particularly as
they walk over their pastures, they
would see the e,rof of those who sssert
that close grazing is wrong, for the parts
eaten down close are the best portions Of
the fields. 1t is very good plan to SOW
little salt every now and then on tie
punches of grass left higher thanthe
average, and always to do this before this
coarse heritage gets old.
Pastures fed close need rest and time
to recuperate by turning off stock. Hsr-
rowing and sowing more grass sset viii
tend to keep out woods and sedge and
cover the ground with NUTRITIOUS her oage
a dressing of wood asbes aud land plas
ter generally pays good profit. Close
and even grazing IS the true policy, with
alternate periods of rest for the new
growth of grass. If it can be irrigated
and manured, SO much the better. salt
land plaster, bone dust and nitrate OF
soda are few OF the best fertilizers fol-
pastures.

CuItiyasng MushrOms

An enterprising Frenchman, M. Muz-
zarelli, sometime since rented an aban-
done6 brewery at Hoboken, n. j., and
entered into the artificial culture OF
mushrooms. He has spent $4,000 in
perfecting his machinery, and keeps his
produce of production entirely secret.
The products are large milky disks, weigh
ing in some instances five or ak ounces
each, and averaging fifteen or twenty to
the pound. NJ Muzzsrelli has already
been able to raise loo pounds per day and
finds ready sale for them at the hotels
and restaurants, receiving 60 ceuts per
pound in summer and so cents in the
winter.

WALKING CASES" OF YELLOW FEVER

indianapolis Herald.
A New Orleans physician, in pri
Vate letter, writes us that he follows
the Old treatment in yellow fever, and
has had over a hundred cases, with
only sixteen deaths. Two Of the lat.
ter were walking cases." The term
IS technical one, understood in vel
low fever districts. A walking case"
Is patient who refuses to go to bed
and keeps his feet until he drops dead.
Sometimes he refuses to admit he has
yellow fever; sometimes he realizes
that he has the dread disease and des-
pairs of recovery from the start.
Sometimes the walking case" mani
tests the most abject fear, and again
he displays the courage and indiffer-
ence of a spy led out to execution.
Sometimes the walking" is confined
to the patients chamber, and then
again he roams the streets, with the
seal Of death on his brow, the dread
ful black vomit oozing from his lips
an object Of horror to all whom he en-
counters. This stalking death is not
an uncommon feature in life in New
Orleans during the prevalence of a.
epidemic Many who passed through
the fearful ordeal Of 1853, in which
ncarIS 5000 victims persisted, will re-
member the case of John c., Mem
phis printer He was man of spen.
did physique and handsome presence,
but an unfortunate love affair had made
him reckless. He developed a walk
ing case" Of yellow fever ana for two
days and nights roamcd the streets
and frequented the drinking houses Of
the city, i'll spite of all his friends
coul do, finally falling on the street,
and dying before he could be conveyed
to his lodgings. He would wipe the
black vonit from his lips, hold up the
handkerchief, critically examine the
horrible oxidation, and remark with
grim hunor that his coffee" didn't
agree with him that morning. Death
IS dreadful at best, but no disease pre-
SCENTS 80 great horror as a walking
case of yellow fever.
