must not ask the reader to accompany

If Mexico to the grand plaza in front
" the National palace, OF residence OF
he president, and the great building
within which may be found all the CHIEF
government Offices. We are in front OF
1. curious building, which looks rs if 1t
aad as many architects as it required
years to erect. 1t is the Cathedral OF
Mcxico--one of the finest structures on
he American continent. l do not pro
pose to describe it now, because it de-
serves to be described in detail; but l
will utilize it for the present to give the
reader view of the city from its lofty
belfry. A dingy-looking doorway is
reached, near the main entrance. We
enter and find ourselves ut the foot OF a
winding stairway, constructed in the
massive wall. Up this we mount as ii
ascending the interior Of factory chin
ney, and the more we climb the less we
ike it, for the air being rare, our lungs
work with tremendous energy. The
summit is reached ut last We are
among the Cathedral bells, some OF
which weigh many tons and look mon
ters in size. Tho big one under the
clpola is not used now, because 1t IS
feared that the structure from which it
depends would not stand the shock OF
it's vibrations. But oh, what grand
view we have Of the fair city and its sur
roundings. The valley of Mexico is be
fore us-the lakes, the.plain, the woods !:
roads, avenues, aqueducts, churches and
al--set in a superb framework Of noun
t,ins. Below are the plaza and the
!courtyards of the palace. Beyond are
Chapultepoc, with its famous castle;

Rich Pastures.

You may keep the finest Aldern-
eye, Dnfhams Or grades, but you will
not succeed In getting large
amount Of rich milk from poor pas
lures. If you have an old worn out
pasture try the following plan;
Plough in the fall and cover the land
with manure, which should be spread
broadcast the next spring and the
field planted with corn. Next season
sow with oats or barley, give top
dressing Of from thirty to forty bush
els Of Stacked lime to the acre, seed
down with orchard grass, timothy
and clover. The two crops will pay
time and leave you agrich pasture
All old pastures need potash and
nitre. Ashesspread on in the spring
will furnish these Ingredients more
cheaply and surely than any other
fertilizer poor barren spots in an
otherwise good pasture may be made
to bear by manuring them well in
the fall.
