The Evil of Overstocking Pastures.

The overwhelming of land is one of
the surest and quickest ways Of ruin
ing pastures. 1t is an everyday thug
with many farmers, who cannot be
made to believe that they are getting
the full benefit of pasture unless the
grass is eaten Off little faster than il
has time to grow; consequently, all who
put this method il practice always have
bare pastures and poor cattle.
The advantages to be derived from
allowing the grass to gain on the cattle
during the growing season are many,
some of which are the following: Cat
tie keep growing all the time and come
to maturity at the proper age. Cattle
kept constantly on bare pastures
never mature properly; those kept on
good pastures do not have to work day
and night to satisfy craving appetite,
or use mp all their food in building up
q system continually worn down by
labor and semi-starvation.
A good covering of grass is q pro-
lection to the land in warm weather; it
protects the young grass from the bad
effects of cold dry weather between the
rains of winter, SO that new grass will
be growing under covering OF the old,
when that on bare ground will be some.
times literally starved to death. Old and
new grass when eaten together, is better
for cattle than all new, while the
seeding of the matured grasses keeps
up the full variety of those kinds native
to the soil. Consequently, pastures
thus treated produce more food for
stock during the year than those kept
continually eaten down to the bare
earth.-[Ex.

Breeding Farm Horses

We have encouraged tie use q tho
large imported horses OF til" better
class because We have thought that one
OF the greatest defects in our farm
horses was want of size; arl this. II
seemed TO Us, could better be Supplied
by an Infusion Of the blood Of the
draft horse than from any o;ucr source.
But we are certain that il many locaii-
ties quite as large an Infusion of this
blood has been made as will be profit
able; and that for the uses OF the farm
er, better horsea can be produced from
these grade draft mares by the use of a
stout, large, compactly-built thorough
bred horse, or highly-bred, we'll
formed, and goodsizei trotting stallion,
than by an Infusion of the blood Of the
draft horse.
Returning agaln to the Percheron
blood, We have no hesitation in affirm
ing our belief in its great excellence:
and that it is to this blood, which, at a
very early day was largely introduc
mot Canada, that the horses Of thai
section owe much Of the excellence tina,
distinguished them fifty years ago
Very many of the very best sires OF
general purpose, or farm horses, that
We have ever had in the United States

evidently partook largely OF this blood
From that country we have had The
Pilots, the Corbeaus, the Columbuses,
the ST. Lawrences, the Royal Georges,
the Napoleons, the Normans, and many
other recognized families of superior
excellence, which We believe derived
their merits from the old Percheron
blood, brought over by the French set
tiers, rather than from an imaginary
scion of imported Messenger, spirited
in some mysterious manner across the
border, as q certain self-styled Horse
Authority" in this country has told IL:

have said, we think in many sections
We have had quite as much of the

SeasOnable HINTS.

After spring cleaning ia over, most
housekeepers like to add few pretty
homemade trihes to their rooms, ald
brighten them up. Tides made of
strips of velvet or silk, with lace in.
sertion and edge, are easily made, and
are decorated in any way to suit your
taste. Hand-embroidered vines on the
strips of velvet or silk are lovely. A
tidy made OF a square of silk with an
applique bouquet in the center is hand
some. Really servicesble tides are made
of linen, trimmed with trochon, outline
pictures drawn with indelible ink. If
you do not know how to sketch, get q
sheet of tracing paper, select some sim-
pie outline picture for your first at
tempt, trace it delicately and carefully
on both sides of the tracing paper, then
transfer to the linen by placing it where
you wish to have the picture, and go
over it again with the pencil, then use
the ink. You may in the same way
sketch for painting in oil or water
colors. This is not, to be sure, high
art, but it is pleasant work. and if you
have not much time to give to it, is far
better than doing nothing of the kind.
Pretty trifles Of this sort add greatly to
the tasteful appearance of O room.

one of those who heard him, "for Lord

had also been made to another. INV

Latest From tho Moon.

Professor Proctor's last lecture be.
fore sailing for Europe was upon the
moon, and it was very interesting. The
moon does not revolve around the
earth, he said, but the two circle abou!
each other, and the real center Of the
revolution of each is the sun. If there
were a railway sufficiently " elevated >
to reach the moon, which is 23S, Sis
miles distant from US, we should be
fifteen months making the journey ut
ordinary railroad speed. Upon arriv-
ing, we should observe several interest
ing phenomena. First. it is YER.

however, would certainly suffer after
sunset, for the surface Of the moon is
$50 degrees below zero at midnight,
and the reaction toward noon would
try even our prolonged proportions,
for at noon the surface you'd be thirty
eight degrees above the boiling point.
We should be very lonely, probably
for there is no living creature there
now.
Still, Gs Professor Proctor had said
that oil planets pass through five stages,
the last OF which is death-a stage
which the moon has reached-the APP
prehensive mind naturally inquiries
how soon the earth will probably reach
it. The professor answers, reassuring-
ly, that the earth is now about 500, 000,-
600 years old, and that it took the moon
81. O0O,0 900 to reach its present state.
He therefore concludes that it will take
the earth 500,000.000 years more to
reach the Same condition. There is
