Permanent Pastures.

The grasses in a permanent pasture
must be chosen with the object offurnish-
ing as near us possible constant sue
cesson of bloom. To this end there
must be variety. Variety is necessary
to fill up the spaces and form a COM
plete turf or sward. Every plant throws
off waste matter which is poisonous to
itself but fertilizing to another variety.
This is the reason why pastures with
but one or two varieties of grasses soon
run out-why land becomes clover-sick
for instance, and refuse to produce that
which at first it produced in luxurance.
This is the principle that underlies the
rotation of crops, practice but little
understood in this country, but a
matter of profound interest to the
higher agriculture of the old world.
We have not the great variety OF
grasses adapted to this climate that are
found in England, but have enough to
to furnish an almost constant succession
of bloom, and fresh luxuriant foliage.
Suppose now that we are selecting
seed for permanent pasture, we first
inquire for that which will produce the
earliest bite, and our choice isnot blue
grass but orchard-grass. 1t grows
early and rapidly and stands close
cutting. Next comes bluegrass, which
rushes into bloom from the middle to
the last of May, and then gives way to
other grasses for the time. The next
grass that claims precedence on the
soil and hence in our selection Is white
clover, which has the gift OF continu-
ance, and throwsup constant success.
sion of bloom till fall if there be sufficient
moisture. Next the first crop of red
clover asserts its rights, followed closely
by the bloom of the orchard-grass. For
this reason it must have place and o
prominent one in the pasture. We
clover, as its dense, woody growth and
large leaves are in danger of smother
ing out the fine grasses, but little
alsike might be used, il only to furnish
bee pasture and bloom between the
first and second crops OF red, Next we
should select timothy, which though
not iirst-class pasture grass, yet must
have its place in a permanent pasture
for July bloom, and also occupy the
ground till other grasses take hold. In
August and September we can de-
pend on the second bloom of red clover,
and in October we will be rejoiced to
find blue grass coming forward grandly,
and in spite OF the frost holding its own
to the end of the growing season, and il
we permit it, laying up the materials
for winter pasture. There are three
other grasses worthy of experiment to
say the least; Medow fescue. or as 1t Is
called here " English bluegrass" red.
top and fowl meadow grass. We have
not had sufficient experience with either
to recommend them. Red-top win un'
doubtedly do better on wet land thar

clusion OF moro valuable grasses. -

THE DAIRY.

"A woll-known western dairyman,
who has expermented with the "anti-
huff" compound, both in buttermilk
and sweet milk, says there appears little
change at first, but in week the milk
becomes red like blood, that il seemed
to dissolve the caseine in buttermilk.
Examining it under the microscope he
discovered CRYSTALS of bicarbonate of
soda and bicareonate of potash.
Butter dealers claim that the stand
ard of first class butter is getting higher
every year, and what would readily sell
for a choice article few years ago is
now put down as second or third rate.
Very few dairy lots now coming in from
Vermont or New York run even. and
after selecting two or three tubs from
an invoice, the remainder has 60 be sold
at a very low price. Boston Traveller.
The exposure of the windows of the
cheese room should be toward the north
and east and in cold weather o double
sash is most desirable. In this close,
even room, we are able to detect the
aroma of the strictly fine cheese. On
opening the door to enter, the perfume
strikes the sense most pleasantly. The
odor can be likened to that from many
fragrant sources, as fancy dictates. At
ono time, in turning up the cheese, the
perfume of the pineapple is certainly
apparent; again, we think only of the
strawberry, or the rose. Under what
ever name, there it is, delicately
subtle exhalation Of the cheese curds,
which shows the maker where he
stands. The character of that cheese
is fixed beyond question. If the pa
irons would take pains to inform them
selves on this point of flavor it might
help them to decide how the work of
the season is progressing. This perfume,
however, need not be looked for unless
all other exterior signs of cleanliness
and care correspond. 1t will not be
found in connection with cracked, leaky
cheese, or in q room where the floor is
all spotted over with whey running from
the tables.
"A correspondent of the Utica, N.
Y, Herald says his correspondent in
England writes him as follows: " If
Americans send adulterated goods to
this country they will, in my opinion,
kill the goose that laid the golden egg.
The English cheese eating people are
becoming reconciled to American
cheese. against which, in many sec
tions, there has existed strong preju-
dice), but if they take up the scare, the
same as in American bacon, the demand
will materially decrease. Now is the
time when the make and quality should
be the very best. The cheese makers
of this country are about giving in be-
fore the American competition; but if a
reaction sets in and the public pass
American and demand homemade
goods, the now rapidly decreasing
make of English cheese will be revived
and Americans will have all their work
to go over again to regain popularity.

Prof. Alfred L. Loomis, In his
Medical Talk" in New York, says: In
some parts Of tho West and South it is
customary to mix whisky with the wa
ter to destroy tho poison, but those
who do it simply take two poisons in
stead Of one, and they do not counter
act each other. The whisky rather
helps the malarial poison along. 1t
has been question whether quinine
has power TO combat malaria. 1t has
the power of averting the generation
Of malarial poison for a time. but it
will not cure. 1t is, however, the only
thing that can combat malarial poison,
and hence I'm an advocate of quinine.
You can do harm with it, but it will
be hard work. / don't believe in con-
stantly taking quinine, even If you
dwell in an affected district. Take a
dose whenever you need relief. 1t will
relieve you for time. If you have
neuralgia and headache. and sometimes
get bilious. and have numbness that
makes you apprehensive of approach
ing paralysis, you are very likely in
chronic condition of malarial affection.
Quinine will relieve you temporarily,
and If you go to the seaside or to the
mountains, you will be freed.

A BoY's VACATION. A small boy, who seems utterly destitute of holiness isup in the country spending his vacation If he don't make things lively and bring his parents to grief before the summer wanes away it will be wonderfully remarkable. Here is an ex. tract from letter written by him to a school mate in Cambridge :-''This is the best place in the world to have fun. There are SIX of us fellers, and an old man who lives here said he wished he was in hell we throwed his wheelbarrow into 8 we'll and he couldn't get 1t out, and that is what made him swear. I got a fisl-h0ok stuck into my nose and don't you forget gits ain't sore The farmers folks put tin pans out in the sun to dry, and they are sick pans to hold milk after we jab some holes in lem. The farmers now down hay with nofse e.rake and scatter it round with a grass.mill and bile it up with machine. Cripple got one of his legs in hay machine and got cut immense. and when he gets home he. won't have any leg, only one; he'll be healthy kid to play base ball. There was a great circus when Jimmies mother came and found him crazy, he was so sick; he ct too many cucumbers and two quarts of huck leberries, and ct more'n he did. want you to see Hickey and swap my rabbits for his gun.

 We shall drown some more tomorrow and we shall drown some more every. day The doc- tor has cured Jimmie and his mother was ao- in to take him home.
