TIMOTHY FOR DATRY MEADOWS. One
of our principal meadow grasses is tim
othy, and this forms q tuber or bulb
just above the surface of the ground,
and is injured or destroyed when this
bulb is cut or eaten off. Pasturing
meadows of this grass is likely greatly
to injure these bulbs, and this explains
the serious injury that occurs when these
meadows are pastured in the fall. Gut
ting too close with moving machines
often Injuries il. Timothy is, perchance,
the most valuable meadow grass, as
with proper attention, it will easily con-
tinue ten years In succession to yield
large crops. IF our meadows consisted
of Kentucky blue grass, wire grass,
orchard grass, red-top, etc., pasturing
would not be fatal, although not advisa-
bic except on alluvial or overhowed land,
But let us see what the real value of
the aftermath of timothy meadow is
worth. Take the case mentioned of sew
enty-fve acres pastured. Four cents
worth of wheat middlings and corn meal
per day to each cow, would have pro-
duced more milk and left the COWS in
better condition, during the five or six
weeks that they are allowed to run a
portion of the day upon the meadows.
This would have cost at most, only about
81 60 per head, whilst the damage to
the meadow was at least ten times as
much. Meadows require generous at
tenton, should be top-dressd with stable
manure in the fall, instead Of pasturing
them, and when this cannot be had,
should be top-dressed with some com
| merclal fertilizer every few years, and
thus kept in full production, and your
dairy full fed through the winter.--Na-

Epitanlls.

The following was rather more cpl
grammic than epitaphic in regard tc
Rev. John Chest:
-" Beneath this spot lies buried
One Chest within another;
The outer chest was all that's good;
Who says SO Of the other?'
William Wilton, buried in Lamberth,
certainly did not write the epitaph which
bears relation to him:
" Here lieth w. W,
Who never more will trouble you, trouble you"
Nor, we may safely assert, did Owen
. Moore himself pen the following:
"Owen Moore has gone away,
OWN more than he could pay"
In graveyard at Montrose is said to
be the following:
"Here lies the bOdis of George
Young and all their posterity
For fifty years Backwards
And in Wrexham Churchyard as fol
lows:
Here lies five babies and children dear,
Three at Oswesry, and two here"
Akin to this in logical laundering is
Here lies the remains of
Thomas Milsoln, who died in
Philadelphia, March, 1853;
Had he lived he would have
0NSAA
And another at Nettlebed, in Oxford
shire: r
Here lies Father, and Moth r, and Sister and l.
We all died within the space of one short } ear;
We are all buried at Wimble except l;
And be burned here.
Others again are delightfully."- circum-
stantial, such as that of John Adams
Here lies John Adams, who received thump
Right on the forehead from the parish pump"
Or touch Of jollity in them, as this
from Newbury Churchyard:
" Here lays John, and Mary his BRIDE
They lived and they laughed while they were able
And at last were obliged TO knock under the tablet
Or suggestively laconic as is the fol-
lowing from st. Michaels Crooked Lane
"Here lies, wrapped in clay,
The body OF William Wray;
have no more to say"
One Mrs. Shute gave occasion, we are
told, for the following
"Here lies, cut down like unripe fruit,
The vile OF Deacon Amos Shute;
She died Of drinking too much coffee,
Amy Dominy eighteen forty.
James Wyatt, of course, took no part
in the connection Of this effusion
"At rest beneath this churchyard stone
Lies stingy Jimmy Wyatt;
He died one morning Just at TO-
And saved dinner by it."
A useful hint is wrapped up in the fol-
lowing:
" Died Of thin shoes, January, 1899"

so far forget themselves, and what is
due to the dignity of age and the delica-
cy of our common womanly
character, as to salute Grandmother
Fleshly by the title of granny, or call
my sister Rebecca an old maid. I"
81 should hope to be by and box
their ears if they did," replied Mrs.
Prod. But I never have occasion to
correct them for their department to
their elders. They are much like their
Uncle Joe, who never tears around
much, and is model for emulation, es-
pecially, / may say, in regard to the
ladies. But then, let me see. What
was / going to ask you? Oh, about
borrowing, Mrs. Fleshly. I am glad
you happened to call up the subject of
habits, which, innocently intended,
sometimes cause considerable discom-
fort. The habit of borrowing. Our
family is provided with everything
necessary for housekeeping, and we like
to accommodate, but are much opposed
to the common habit of lending and
borrowing. / suppose, as your family
are so particular IN regard to others,
that you never indulge in the custom of
running in, every now and then, to bor-
row dish, or pan, or a towel, or a
little milk, lard, mola8ses, meal or salt,
do you? / feel sure you do not; but, as
you say, it is best to have these things
agreed upon and perfectly understood
beforehand.
Mrs. Fleshly assured her that she
never borrowed, aud was now contented
to ask but few more cautionary ques-
tions and then, with smiles and cour-
tesies, Mrs. Prod withdrew, declaring
that she had little doubt that Mr.. Prod
would take the rooms.
Mrs. Fleshly waited and wished in
anxious expectation for several days.
She was very eager to let those six
apartments, she little cared which six !;
but Mrs. Prod never came back.
Mrs. Fleshly, when all hope was gone,
was sorry that in her craving to be safe
she had lost her surety. She felt that
she had been much too overnice. Then
she wished and now she wanted. She
tried to console herself by the SUPPOSE
ton: g.3
"That mink was too perfect to be
real p'
But, on the other hand, Mrs. Prod
scornfully related the interview to her
husband, glad Of the timely inquisitive-
ness which had led them to look else
where for parties not too exacting to
prove agreeable. ewe
81 saw that she was very particular,
Prod" she concluded, with animation !;
but I think I gave her about as good
as she sent"

Sheep.

American shepherds have yet much to
learn in regard to the management of
their focke. For example, the sheep in
Silesia are never exposed to much rain.
Shelter and shade are provided for them.
Nor are they exposed to dust, for that is
known to be injurious to the fleece. the
greatest-possible care is taken in the
breeding. Men of experience are en-
ployed to go from farm to farm to exam
inc the sheep and select the best rams
that can be found. The rams are close
ly examined as to their feece-bearing
properties, and all but the very best are
soldof. The whole economy of thesheep
farm is as perfect as intelligence and in
dustry can make it. A ton Of wool is
worth $3.50 at 80 cents a pound, or $500
at 25 cents. A ton of wheat is worth
about $32, and of corn about SIG. The
freight is about the same for each, and
isthus twenty-five times more for wheat
and nearly fifty times more for corn
than wool. This is worth considering,
and shows how much better it is to turn
corn into wool than to sell it.-E1-
