Care Of Grass Lands.

The present seems to be q favorable
season in which to offer useful sugges-
lion in reference to the treatment of grass
lands. 1t is true that farmers have quite
enough to attend to in properly curing
and storing the crop already grown,
without spending time in preparing for
any future crop. Practical suggestions
in reference to the treatment of meadows
will carry force to the mind of the farmer
if the evils to be remedied are present.
A farmer in doing his haying cannot
help seeing the crop of foul weeds that
should not be allowed in his meadow.
If there is a new meadow not properly
seeded, which could have been remedied
ere loss resulted, then it is proper that
such an inferior meadow should receive
some thought from the farmer during
haying. During haying is the best time
in which to consider methods Of improve
ment. Defects and weak spots in his
system of farming are quite as much ap-
parent at this season as at any time dur
ing the year. 5r~ AR -
1t may be well to give some thoughtto
the question of the quantity of manure
it is profitable to apply as a top-dressing
to meadow land. We are altogether too
chary of time and expense in the care of
our meadows know of meadows that
have never received an application of
any kind of manure during the last ten
years. All meadows treated in this way
are very susceptible to the evil effects of
what is called ga bad season. The
usual manner of top-dressing meadows
is little better than the practice of not
top-dressing at all. In many cases the
quantity of fertilizers applied is not half
enough to accomplish the object desired.
The application is also made but once in
three or, four, years, Often ,barnyard.
manure IS not in proper shape to, use. /
| have travelled over meadows often dur
4 ing haying, where the horse-rake gath
cred up great quantities of half-rotten
straw, and sun-dried chips of manure
! which were hauled to the barn with the
hay. All this can be avoided. It NAV
j seem to be a useless and unreasonable
1 task to work. over the manure heap at
/ least twice before it is hauled to the field
! to be used. l know that few farmers
] perform this extra labor, their reasons
for not doing it being lack of time, and
they do not see wherein it would pay.
The one great and immediate return
to be expected from top-dressing with
well fined manure, is that the growing
1 crop will assimilate all the manure; the
/ first season after the application. 1knoy
several farmers who annually resolve not
to fall-feed their meadows AS pastures
commence to fail in autumn this good
resolution is broken. i am unable to see
wherein it can injure meadow to past
ure it in the fall If, it is, in good condi-
Gon. But if the meadow is in poor con-
1ition, then by no means pasture it in
the falls-GOr: Country GeNtLenaG9s b.

the latter was wary and kept clear of
the shows. A band dispensed music on
a good-sized platform that was well
occupied by the pleasure seekers. many;
of whom danced about and cut up like

MY LAST OFFER.

We bad wedding at our house last night,
With throng of guests and maze OF flowers;
The rooms were brilliant with their blaze of
light;
In song and feasting passed the hours.
Ny little nephew, four years and half,
Bewildered, glad and wonder-eyed,
Saw all the glitter, heard the song and laugh,
And ate unwonted sweets beside.
Next day he pondered much, as wise folks do,
Then craved of me little boon;
AUNT Jennie, why don't you get married, too?
hope you do it very SOON"
"Dear child" said, and strolked his curly head,
you would not wish il il you knew
That must go away If L should wed,
Instead of living here with you"
His face grew grave, for he had only thought
OF wedding cakes and ices sweet;
But, IL with loss of Auntie IL were bought
The feast would be doubtful treat.
He clasped my neck and kissed me on the
cheek, -
Then said the loving little elf:
Aunt Jennie, don't get married till next week
And viii marry you myself"
