Dignity of Farm Life.

OF allfhe avOcations OF life, not one
among them can present superior claims
for bodily health, mental employment,
true independence. ample compensation,
pure enjoyment and moral strength,
than does the noble calling of farmers,
and those of its profession; men, wom-
en- and children should stand up erect
in full measure, in conscious pride of a
nobility, not titled and maintained by
force, but of more ancient origin and
endorsed by an authority higher than
that Of the royal seal Of any king or DO
tentate of earth. Farmer, your duties
lead you to the open fields, there to
view the landscape, to examine the
grounds, and to perform pleasant and
invigOrating labOrs. You know noth>
ing of the trimming Ofthe midnight
lamp and the aching brow of the ac-
countant as he pores over his LEDGER
page by page, nor the sighs, anXieties
and hardships of the barrister, who
works diligently thrO' the late hours in
preparation for the duties of the sue
ceeding day, tor your labors having en-
ded with the coming Of night, now Won
rest in sweet repOse, to rise with the
lark, refreshed in strength and renewed
in hope, and on the battle YOU sally
forth, the tide of victory slowly but
surely setting in your favor, and when
darkness comes, the proclamation of
triumph is written upon your shield.
Who is so Independent and free from
dangerous temptation rs lie who possess
sess in his own right acres of land, be
the number more or less, and they well
subdued by the arts OF cultivation?
Point out the avOcation, if you can, that
holds in its keeping such magnificent
gifts, and the giving in prOfusiOn the
real comforts of life So readily made to
the honest demands of faithful labor!
The pleasures of the farm arise from
natural principles, and coming from
such source have a primeval influence,
and the brightest scenes of endowment
are made cOncOmitants of farm life, No
need of drudgery, slavery, or serldom
upon the farm, where all the surround
ings are of the strongest tendency in
opposition. Their invitations are cease
less and persuasive to the farmer who
thinks and plans his business to system
and keeps time to the Wise regulations
of his own making. Nature. ever true
to its part, aids the true cHltiyator in his
work, from the germination of the seed
to the fully matured crop. These two
forces, acting in harmonious concert,
clothe the fields, gardens, orchards
vineyards, and flower beds with the
beautiful green dress of tie forest, and
with the initiating cOlOrs of the various
wild plants. Then comes the time OF
harvest and the season of flowers to
gladden. the heart and enliven the senses
OF the sturdy farmer. Well may he re-
joicc in the results of his work. In the
midst OF the fruits OF his labOrS stands
his humble cottage, peebing from the
deep, cool shade; Il haven Of rest, sweet
ness and repose, Il home Tor the strang-
er, guest, or casual vSitOr.-PrairC

Why Is TIP

All have read the trite saying that
"a change Of pasture makes fat
Calves" and it is presGmable that it
is equally true of stock of more
advanced age. We have been par
ticularly interested in the move
ments of cattle when turned into a
new pasture. We noticed them take
few nips, with great greediness,
from the first grass they came to.
Anon they wander off to another
place to repeat the operation, and so
on until the entire enclosure has
been prospected, bringing them
back to the place Of beginning. We
are of the opinion that this move
ment is natural, and common alike
to quadruped and bipcd, rs both
manifest a propensity to rove from
really good thing in search Of
something better. This perpetual
change may tend to sharpen the ap-
petite and assist digestion, but thc
actual nutriment derived from it is
probably very little increased.
Again, we have noticed that cat
tie will frequently desert the richer
grasses for the sour ones on low
grounds, if an avenue is opened to
them, or they can stealthily break
through the barrier interpOsed be-
tween the good and poor feeding
grounds. They will, on such occa-
sions, devour with avidity the cOar-
sest specimens of foul meadow,
which they would pass by with in
difference ON their regular feeding
grounds. AS soon as the novelty
passes away, however, and they are
not elected as thieves, they will re-
turn to their old grounds, and to the
richer and more nutritious herbage
abandoned in such haste for the new
but greatly inferior article.
1t is hard to account for many OF
the freaks of farm stock, with re-
spect to their food, but, as a general
thing, we believe it well pays to
crafty the love of change whenever
circumstances can permit it to be
done. Giving them their head, in
exploring new feeding-grounds adj
iacent to their regular inclosure,
satisfies their curiosity, and induces
that state of quictness which is
essential to their comfort, proper
development and prOductiveness.
Have these changes Of pasture, if
possible Turf, Field and Farm.

Grazing Sour Pastures.

When clover is young, but has be-
come heavy and thick just before
heading out into bloom, cattle do
not feed on it readily when wet
from dew OF rain. 1t is much best
not to allow it to be so much ahead
of the cattle, but when this is the
case, and the stock seem to long for
other herbage, it will be q good
plan to send the moving machine
into the field daily and cut some of
the thickest. 1t will be easily seen
how much will be eaten up after q
day or two, for as soon as the sun
has Wilted what is moved it will be
eaten i'll preference to what is uncut.
There is a stage when the herbage is
driving in the sushine that the ami
mails find it sweeter to the taste, and
when lying in the fields they will
eat grcedily Of it till they are salts
fed, and in that condition it seems
to do the horses, cows or sheep
more good. Fifty years ago Eng
lish teamsters and shepherds always
moved the vetches, or clover, some
hours before the horses or sheep had
access tO.it. The sheep were folded
in pens, and the horses were tether-
ed with chains. 1t is a good plan to
run the moving machine over any
pasture little by little all summer,
on account of weeds or any herbage
which might otherwise 60 to seed;
and to prevent cutting sweet, under
bottom grass, the knife can beAset to
cut high. Country Gentleman.

The Lespidezas.

The Lespidezas is a species Of
clover that is creeping into some
parts of Mississippi and other
Southern States by the sides OF
the roads and fences, in the edge
of timber, in old fields, and other
places. 1t grows on stalks more
like a garden herb than a clover
stalk, but its miniature clover
leaves upon close observation are
we'll marked as members of the
clover family.
This plant is neither priced as a
grass or hay crop, but cattle and
sheep eat it very well when it is
small or half grown. 1t however
has some qualities which we deem
valuable, and we have been watch
ing it and inquiring into its char
acter for years. We believe it an
excellent Regeneration of old poor
soils. It shades the ground SO
closely that in many places not a
ray of sunshine can penetrate OF
pass through it. A heavy growth
of Bermuda cannot shade it SC
thoroughly.
1t grows in the bottoms of old
bitches and holds all of the sedi-
ment, so that it in time fills up
these bitches and makes the
ground rich. 1t is fine for stop
ping irregular washes on hillsides,
1t goes to seed just before frost,
and the seed can only be gathered
with difficulty. A good way is to
NOW off and clear off "A patch
where the growth is dense; after
the seeds fall out, take half an
inch of the surface earth and seeds
throw them in a cart and scatter
them from the cart where they are
wanted to grow. Thrown among
weeds or grass without blowing
narrowing or covering, they vii
come up, and take root and spread
the next year. They will choke
out sedge-grass, ragweed and wild
chamomile and other weeds ant
grasses, and take full possession
of the soil and enrich it in few
years. 1t should be called "king
clover" for it rules the other
grasses. 1t is easier killed in the
field with n plOw than any of the
weeds. 1t seems to follow up the
war and emancipation to take pos
session of the old plantations ant
uncultivated farms and gotcheC
and quilted side-hills, to save then
from gradual ruin.-Daniel Den

History of Games.

Though but at best tragmentary
scraps of description, and these by
no means absolutely determined,
the history of the Games dates
back over two thousand years, or,
if we accept the speculation that
Conner, the son of Japhet, was
named after the Game cock, even
more. In the time of Aristotle
they were well known, and during
the Roman Empire the breeding
and pitting Of Games was a Gus
tom of long standing.
In England Games have been
bred for centuries, and Game
breeders, handlers and feeders
were held in high esteem and at
tached to the retinues of many il
lustrious characters, during the
reign of Henry IL and Queen
Bess.
At this time there were five no
ted pits in London, where mains
were almost constantly being
fought, and where the sprigs Of
nobility and the lowest orders Of
society might be found cheek-by.
jowE; all considerations of rank
sunk in common absorbing in
terest. 1t was at this period that
what are now called strains began
to be recognized. From this point
the Earl O'Derby and many cele
brated varieties, named after theil
titled owners, came into promi-
nence, and the breeding of Games
to a standard was commenced
though, as yet, the idea of breed
ing to feather was in abeyanCe
and the only requisite was the
ability to stand the steel.
Hence, when once successful
cross was found, no matter wha'
the plumage, it was bred ''in-and
in" and culled simply by the tes
of the pit,
When cock-fghting was more
prevalent-in the palmy days o
Southern "bloods," immense mum
bers of cross bred and pure fowl'
were reared and fought yearly
and large sums of money changed
hands on the results.
A natural sequence of this cross
ing was the production of grea
numbers of varieties Cor, rather
strains) suited for cooking purpo
ses, and named after some famous
handler, breeder, or perchance thu
original sire. 1t was at this time
DR.. Cooper, the well-known breed
er and cocker, published his worl
on Games, in which we flint
enumerated sixty-one pure-breC
strains and thirty-two "approvet
crosses"
That the present standard recog
nizes but twelve varieties is a sig
nificant hint of how many of DR.
Cooper's "pure-bred" Games stooC
the test of breeding to feather, ant
produced their like with suficien
exactness to admit their classifi
cation.
The almost universal legal bar
under which cooking suffers ha'
done much to discourage breeding
for the pit, but there are still man.

and though the mains are tough
