AUSTRALIA.

British energy has built many -four.
ishing towns in Australia, with connect.
ing railways; but notwithstanding this,
a great deal of riding must be done
there by those who travel. The towns
are so far apart, and the roads so few
aud SO bad, that almost the only way OF
moving where there is no railway is on
horseback. A settler owns what we
call farm, but what he calls q station ;
that is, his own houEe with buildings
around it for his men. The next station
is probably forty miles of, and the
nearest town double that distance. The
settler has what is called grass run,
also. several hundred acres Of grass, on
which be keeps cattle or sheep, or per
haps he cultivates wheat. The great
drawback Of Australia is the want Of
water. The mountains are too low and
too few to attract clouds in sufficient
number to form large rivers. When 9
long drought comes the few rivers dry
up, the grass becomes like finder, the
cattle die by thousands, and many
thriving settlers are ruined. But fal
inland, near the mountains. there are
many green and fertile spots where
such disasters are unknown.

RecaperalInr Pa.Iures.

In England the pastures Of the great
county of Cheshire became so exhausted
as TO cease to be valuable for the pur-
poses for which they had before been
considered. With the other sections Of
England, bone-dust was introduced and
used, particularly as 4 top dressing upon
their grass lands, and the old pastures
have increased in feeding stock from
thirty to fifty Per cent; and We believe
that in this country equally beneficial
results are being experienced by. the
same means. and wherever it has been
tired the farmer Will be induced to ex-
tend the plan in the future. It not only
gives the pastures fresh start, but il is
dressing thEt viii last quite number
Of years; besides, the properties of the
bone enter the grass. thus giving the
cattle IN the natural way what they very
much need, and saves giving them bone
meal in their feed. A dressing of $50
to 40c pounds per acre would last a
number of years.
The b0ne-dust should be soHn broad
east, as early as possible in the spring
when the young grass is starting. Hen
manure can be used with good success
by composing with ground bone. ashes
OF lime. Cover with loan or muck two
or three weeks until it heats, then work
it over and mix it we'll with loan OF
muck to reduce to the proper strength,
and apply in the hills. 1t is one of oul
best fertilizers,

The Prevention OF a Terrible Disaster.

No disorders, excepting the most deadly
forms of lung disease, involve such tremen-
dous destruction of organic tissue as those
which fasten upon the kidneys. Such mala-
dies, when they become chronic-and none
are SO liable to assume that phase completely
wreck the system. To prevent this terrible
disaster, recourse should be had upon the
first manifestations of trouble, to Hostetters.
Bitters, which experience has proved to be
highly effective as a means of imparting tone
and regularity to the organs of urination, as
we'll as to the liver, stomach and bowels.
Another beneficial result of this medicine,
naturally consequent upon its diuretic action,
is the elimination from the blood OF impure
ties which beget rheumatism, govt, dropsy,
and other maladies. By increasing the activ-
ity of the kidneys, il augments the depurative
efficiency OF these organs, which are most i'm
portant outlets for the escape of such impur-
tiles. tlt

FOR The FARMERS.
Hungarian Grass.


Dr.. E. L. Sturtevsnt, in reply ia
questions about Hungarian grass, writes
the Elmira Farmers' Club If we study
the plant We find that it las two
peculiarities. FIRST, it is a plant oil
warm regions. Second, it is a drouth
plant. The inference from this is, what
my experience in light soil confirmed,
that the ground must be warm at the
time of planting, and tie soil must be
dry one. that is, free from standing
water. A careful examination has
shown rae that the Hungarian is very
shallow roofing ciop-it feeds very
near the surface, when the temperature
of the soil is the highest. Another
peculiarly with ne has been that a
single cold or cool night checks the
growth OF leaf and forces a growth of
seed. BeLriDg these observations in
mind. I have not failed in obtaining a
very large crop by pursuing the follow
ing caurse First. planting not earlier
than June ooh. IN order to secure the
warm soil, and the certainty of no cool
nights during the ensuing six weeks.
Second. manuring or fertilizing close
to the surface. and just scratching in.
Third. planting at least six pecks OF
seed per acre. In order to have the
crop relished by cattle, I have found it
necessary to SOW thickly, and to cut
Just as the heads begin to be discovered.
By this course have a hay the cattle
prefer to timothy, and pound per
pound it expends better than timothy,
and ny eye detects no falling away in
condition. and the scales detect no
change in the milk yield. If over.ripe
land most people cut too late) the
cattle do not relish it as they otherwise
could, and the eye and the scales show
Inferior feeding value to the best hay.
