Old Meadows.

Old meadows from which crops are
now gra,hered will soon have consider
able aitergrowth under the influence of
favorable rams. While grass on pas
ture fields Is shortened there is strong
temptation 10 Craze meadows. If no
injury would follow of course advant-
age might be had by pasturing them,
but injury does follow. The best way
to increase the yield of meadow that
do not come up to the standard is to
permit the aftergrowth to remain as a
winter protection 10 roots of the grass
es. 1t is true, growth may be so heavy
as to defeat the purpose in view. In
such case the grass, falling closely
upon the roots, a thick mat, may
smother them in winter to such de-
gree as TO reduce vitality and interfere
with full production in the following
season. When this aftergrowth IS too
large moderate pasturing is beneficial
but close grazing is always injurious to
meadows, especially when the grass is
in large proportion timothy. AS a
substitute for grazing when the after
growth is large moving can be done,
the knives set TO run three or four inch
es from the ground and the crop can
be raked up as rowen for feeding
calves and sheep. But if not raked II
will wither and drop down without i'll
effects. In any case care should be
taken to keep cattle off from meadows
in late autumn, because not enough
profit can be derived from grazing to
compensate injury sure to follow. As
rule too little care is given grass lands
not only 10 those in pasturage but to
meadows. Farmers get off all growth
so far as they can, and the natural ten.
dency is to weaken roots of the grasses,
especially when this is done late in au.
tumn. If grazing must be done let i,
be early so that the season may bring
farther growth to shield to the roots
from the seventies of winter.-[Ex.

Bottled Tears.

Tie old custom of bottling tears is
still continued in Persia. 1t must be
very old, as it is alluded to in the
Psalms of David. AS the mourners
are sitting around and weeping, the
master of ceremonies presents each
one with piece OF cotton, with which
he wipes off his tears. This cotton is
afterward squeezed into bottle, and
the tears are preserved as a powerful
and efficacious remedy for reviving a
dying man after every other means has
failed. 1t is also employed as charm
against evil influences. The. practice
was once universal, as is evidenced by
the tear-bottles which are found in al
most every ancient tomb.

Egg Laying for Poultry.

Probably no one win deny that the
prime object of keeping poultrY is to
obtain eggs an,imeat for the benefit Of
mankind. But in the course taken by
many BREEDERS. and Endorsed by judges
and the rules of the poultry-shows
there is much that warrants the belief
that beauty Of plumage and symmetry
Of form have been the qualities sourht,
rather than the more lasting if less
SNOWY egg-producing and fascinating
ability. No breed of amin ,ls can per-
manently enjoy popular favor if it has
not the ability to contribute IN some
way TO the comfor, and profit of man.
Fine feathers and beautiful form may
please when prosperity blesses the
people. but when hard times pinch,
the less beautiful but more useful will
take the place Of honor, while the
ornamental will cease to be the chief
attraction. The more fanciful the breed
the quicker will ii feel the effects OF
financial reverse and the lower will II
go.
Would il not be well for breeders of
poultry to fellow the example OF
breeders of cattle and make actual per-
formances the test OF merita Would
no, carefully-kept record of the weight
or number Of eggs produced IN year,
or Of the number Of pounds Of flesh
yielded in a given time. or for speci.
fed cost, be more likely to show what
breeds are best for practical purposes
than is the external appearance and
the weight offowls7 Would not such
course preserved in result in rapid
and marked development of the food.

a. add materially to the store of knowl-
edge Of the means TO be used TO at
tam The highest results in feeding for
the ends sought 1t is by no means
certain that in the effort to reach better
results than have yet been gained it
would be necessary to sacrifice single
one of the good points already secured.
The rate of increase is so great that
the bearder seeking to develop the
habit Of laying very large eggs for ex-
ample, would have large number of
chicks LON his best hen from which to
select such as would be most likely TO
transmit the desire from the plumage,
as well as the large egg-produciDg DIS
position.
There is, of course, no desire to
underrate the very creditable progress
already made by breeders of poultry,
nor is there any intention OF ignoring
the claims of the different breeds to
excellence in their several fields, but
there Is a wish to inquire whether the
rivalry which would follow the publ
cation of egg-records would tend to
advance the value ofthe breeds OF not

Buttermilk as a Drink.

In warm summer weather many per-
sons feel an irresistible craving for
something sour. and often crafty this
desire by free indulgence in pickles,
or vegetables made with vinegar. This
demand for acids indicates defcien.
cy in the acid secretions of the stom.
ach, and the demand for an artificial
supply is natural one; but vinegar is
not the best substitute. Tactic acid Is
one of the chief agents that give aclji.
ty to the gastric juices of the stomach
in health. This Is the acid of sour
milk, ami therefore one of the best
summer drinks that We can use is but
termilk. 1t sarsfies the craving for
acids by giving to the stomach natur-
al supply, and at the same time furnish
ing in its cheesy matter good supply
of wholesome nutrition. A man will
endure fatigue in bot weather better on
buttermilk than on any diet drink he
can use Il Elk.

Putting the Shoe on the Other Foot.

Farmers, as a class, have the repu-
tation of being careless in business
matters. Ifa note is given, which of
course should be met promptly on the
day OF maturity, it is generally consid-
cred sufficient if paid within a month
or two of the proper time. This is all
wrong. Tbr same rules OF business
that govern the merchant should apply
with equal force to the farmer. Farm
ers should do as they expect to be done
by.
Suppose one of these careless ones
should be paid back in his own coin a
few times, what little cyclone would
be raised. Mr. Goeasy orders a now
ing machine to be on hand on a GER
tain day. The time comes around, but
the machine doesn't. His grass is ready
for cutting and he must have his ma
chine. In hot haste he posts off to the
dealer and uncorks his vial of wrath.
''See here, Mr.. Sellsloe, why in trop-
ical ATTITUDES hasn't that machine been
sent7 Here my grass is ready for cut

"When was it to be delivered?'' asks
Mr.. Sellsloe.

do, and I wanted that money on that

year and not for next You insisted
that if note was paid within month
or two of the time it became due

"why it should have been out yester-

the man of letters.
Off he goes to the sanctum of the
knight of the quill.
"Mr. Singer, I've called to see

satisfactory to you"
"No, sir, it isn't satisfactory. Your

"But my dear sir" mildly respond
ed the editor, 81 don't see why a few
