FALL PAsTuRNG. The dairyman who
pastures ordinary meadows in the fall
robs his next crop to an extent that he
does not realize. The writer was CONVEX.
SAINT with case where rs acres averaged
regularly about 1870 tons of excellent hay
when no pasturing was allowed; and the
owner, having a tenant who had been rath-
er unfortunate, allowed him to pasture
some % cows upon the aftermath of these
meadows for a single fall; and the conse-
quence was reduction of the yield from
1870 tons down to 60 tons the next season,
and the yield was never recovered until re-
seeding. 1t was estimated the whole value
Of the rs cows in the fall was not equal to
the injury Of the next crop on the 70
acres Of meadow The practice of pastur-
ing meadows is one Of the most ruinous Of
the mistakes among dairymen, and causes
them often to be so short of hay as to in
iure the yield of their herds in the spring,
good feeding through the winter lays the
foundation for good yield of milk the
following season, with good cows. Good
meadows are very essential to success in
dairying aud therefore this question
should be most carefully considered. Na-

Many Of the leading orchard proprietors
in Northern Italy and Southern Germany
are eultivators of the common black ant
an insect they hold in high esteem MS the
fruit growers best friend They establish
ant hills in their orchards, and leave the
police service Of their orchards entirely to
the tiny colonists, which pass all their
time in climbing up the stems of the fruit
trees, cleansing their boughs and leaves Of
malefactors, mature as well as embryonic,
and descending laden with spoils to the
ground, where they comfortably consume
or prudently store away their booty.
They never NEEDLE with sound fruit, but
only invade such apples, pears and plums
as have already been penetrated by the
cankerworm, which they remorselessly
pursue to its Businesses in the very heart of
the fruit No where are apple aud pear
trees SO free from blight and destructive
insects as in the immediate neighborhood
OF large ant hill five or six years old.

1t seems to be characteristic failing of
most coaehmen to lay the lash upon a
horse that exhibits fear at an object in the
street or beside the road. Mr.. Bergh,
president OF our society for prevention Of
cruelty to animals, says in the organ Of
that society what every reasoning being
ought to know, and that is TO never whip
your horse, for becoming frightened at any
object by the roadside, for II he sees
stump, log or heap Of tan bark IN the
road, and while he is cycling it carefully
and abont to pass it, youstrike him with
the whip, it is the stump or log or tan
bark that is hurting him in bis way Of
reasoning; and the next time he will be
more frightened Give him time to smell
all these objects, and use the bride TO as
sist you in bringing him carefully to those
objects Of fear
