More Grass.

Pastures are too limited in number
and extent. Too much land which can
never be properly cultivated is lying
idle, or raising crops of pestiferous weeds
to have the seeds blown over the land
devoted to crops. The pastures are
never too large, but they are nearly
always overstocked. There is greater
ignorance in the proper management of
the pasture and more neglect of its re-
quirements to make it profitable, than
probably any other branch'of farming.
In our dry and hot summers it will not
do to have pastures cropped short. The
grass must be left long enough to form a
shade and mulch for the roots. Besides
the leaves of trees and the blades of grass
are their lungs, and limited growth is
made of roots, body or branches if they
are constantly robbed of leaves and
blades. 1t is positively necessary for a
good and prolific pasture to have enough
of it SO that the grass will be long, and
then it will be thick, tender and succu-
lent.
Clear out your hazel brush, your
r~avines, fence rows and all of the waste
places on the farm, and SOW them to the
tame grasses. There has been published
an abundance of advice by learned men
of experience as TO what kind of grass
seed to SOW on special soils and locations.
If you have not been spending your idle
time the past winter in running to town,
but in studying your business and plan
ming for greater success in farming, you
are now well informed Just what kind Of
grass seed to SOW and when to sow it.
But if you do not know these things, gel
the grass seed ut random-any kind OIL
all kinds, and SOW it as you did you
wild oats, recklessly and prodigally. and
it will be the beginning OF wisdom with
you.
Some of you complain of high taxes
And yet probably you have been paying
taxes for twenty years on some of youl
land, which by your neglect has not been
yielding you a cent of income. Any one
travelling through any part of the ccun'
try can see on almost any farm many
acres of waste land, which if carefully
sowed to grass would yield a large p,of'
per acre as the best pillow land. And il
is permitted to lie idle, and the pillow
land is scratched over yearly to raise
money to pay taxes on land which ha.
never yielded a cent to the present own
er and never will.
But we trust our appeals will Lave
some influence on those who are not too
old'in perversity. Sow more grass seed
have more fortune, and not particular,
have more stock. but better ones. Toi
less for the production of grain crops
but manage better and watch more care
fully the Improvement and growth o
stock. 1t is less a life of servitude ant
more certain in its results. -Iowa stat

EASTER.

oEarth, forget thy winter; o nature, bud and

And Christ, the King, steps onward, with
Death beneath him dead,
And leads his ransomed homeward, with gloyy
on His head.
Three days ago they laid Him, all pulseless, on
The thorn-marked brow was pallid; their
hearts stood still in fear.
Three days of solemn stiffness, three days Of
grief sublime
A pause when seraphs waited to hear the
throbs of time.
And now? No burst of music, as when a Babe
he came,
Though Heaven is thrilled with rapture, and
cherub-anthems f1ame.
IN soundiess flight on sweeping, the shining
Togive our earth the keynote of songs that
shall not end.
What though there are who listen in vain for
What though there are who Ianguish o'ersweet
hopes early crushed,
Still peal the Easter chorals adown the lonely
And yet the Easter promise hath solace for
our tears.
The Christ for us hath conquered our one re-
leutless foe,
Our vanished ones forever with Him are safe,
we know.
o fragrant Easter lilies, like tapers fair We
stand,
To light the silent portals that guard the DEATH
less land.
Haste, gentle Easter angels, who rolled the
stone away,
Come melt our ~ioveless spirits. shame unbelief

Aud help us tread it under our footsteps as we
sing
Theioyous hymns of Easter around our risen
King.

Our Great Source OF Wealth.

There were in the United States III
1880 4,00S, 907 farms, embracing 2S4,.
771,042 acres of improved land. Sup.
pose there should be equal to lone acre
more'' planted in corn to each farm, the
result would be at forty bushels to the
acre, $50, 900, 900 bushels. These figures
serve to show what farmers are, bv a
little extra effort, capable of accomplish
ing.
This country is great in resources and
varied in climate, and a few facts from
the census show that we have not over
rated the agricultural interests in their
relations to the wealth and industry OF
the Nation. Here are the figures:
