IMPROVING PASTURES.
"Tbe following suggestions from the
National Live Stock Journal NAV be
of value TO those who are in condition
to buy mill feeds. and to cultivate part
of their lands for fodder crops for sum
mer feeding:
Put on a few more cows than the pas.

say % Der cent, more-or ~ many az
will consume the grass while growing
vigorously In the spring and earl
summer and al soon an that begins 10
fail, supply the deficiency With some
of the other rich foods named, using
enough to keep up tho flow of milk.
This course may be continued till clover,
peas ana oats, or fodder corn can be
given for soiling, to take the place OF
dry feed IN part. by supporting the

Some time since, IN stroillhg through
stratford, the market garden OF brioge-
port and birmingham, conn., was
much interested In meeting w.. d..
Benjamin and learning his methou OF
bleaching celery: Instead OF earning
1t up, as is usually done, MT. benjamin
simply ties up closely III OLD news or
hlaaching and at the end of from
twelve to twenty days finds it as nicely
bleached as though 1t had been laborl-
Ously banked up. He says one-third
more celery can be got from an acre,
because when it is not banked 1t does
not need 10 be planted so far apart ;
that a great amount of labor is saved,
and that by this process the celery
never rusts.

a milking, the blood will flow out nearly
pure. When this extreme has been
reached the secretion is too large, and
1t may be remedied by leaving back a
part of the milk at each milking Till
the flow dries down to an amount the
food and vigor of the COW can sustain.

A writer says that years expert

elusive as to their value. A tour'lnch
tire will carry two tons over soft ground
with greater ease to the team than a
