PASTURING MEADOWS.
An Agriculturist Who Thinks 1t is Good
Thing to Do.

Thing to Do.
I have always pastured our meadows
when l could, and it has in every case
proved advantageous. But several
times | have had meadow located in
a field where portion Of it was cul-
tivated, and there the timothy would
soon run out and blue grass take its
place in a very short time, while the
meadow pastured would continue to
yield paying crop. / know few men
here who will no more allow stock to
run on their meadows than on their
fields Of growing corn, and the same is
true OF their fields of wheat stubble
sown TO clover and timothy. l have
very frequently had fields of wheat
stubble located the same as meadows,
so that we could not pasture them, and
every time it has been to my sorrow.
The grain left scattered over the stubble,
and the clover growing up, furnished
invitations for myriads of ground mice
to spend their winter, and played sad
havoc with my young~grass. The same
was true of my meadows. When all
the aftermath was left and not pastured
off, the mice cut roads all through the
grass, and fed on the roots and bur-
rowed in the ground, increasing by the
thousand, ready to destroy crops in the
spring.
When I came into possession OF this
farm (nearly eight years ago., there
was a meadow of some eighteen acres,
in a field of about forty acres. This
field, barring the meadow, had been in
corn, and then sown to wheat and rye.
The meadow was cut in proper time
and did not yield over seven tons of
hay, and that of very poor quality. L
went through it q short time before
cutting, and the mice had made roads
all through it, and wou.d run in every
direction; they had cut large quantity
of the grass in snort pieces. | can
attribute the cause of this to nothing
else than allowing the aftermath to
grow unmolested for Il few previous
years. Had it been eaten off, the mice
would have found no protection in VIM
ter, and hence would not have congre-
gated there to do more harm than the
frosts and winds of winter. and the

barren as was proved in the succeeding
crops, which were corn and wheat
better than the average of this COM

| have often read in agricultural
papers not to pasture meadows and

come to the conclusion that more
meadows are injured by not being pas

to cut my meadows early; the aftermath

The old grass stubble will prevent

Night City Editor,
Give us a pun.


Mr.. Commits suspicious were at once
aroused by this remarkable superscrip-
dion. Could it be that the man who
edited the city news was in collision
with some outsider who was sending
him "a first-rate notice. for insertion
in the news columns, smuggling it in
without paying duty at the advertising
desk? This was worthy of immediate
investigation. He Immediately sent for
the man to whom the package was adj
dressed and closely scanned his counte-
nance while the latter opened the en-
Nelope.
And then the nature of the atrocious
attempt to tamper with the press was
made manifest. The contents were
two fragrant cigars, wrapped in a piece
of paper, on which were hastily scrawled
the same words that appeared on the
envelope-''Giye US puff" 1t was
signed with the initials of D. orc.
Townley, u writer (since dead) who
was at that time attached to the staff of
the Times. The laugh that followed
was at Mr.. Commits expense.
''Well," he said, joining in the gem
eral hilarity, 81 think that is worth your
notice." and lighting one of the cigars
which was presented to him by the blue
pencil man of the City Room, he re-
sumed his duties at his desk.
Shortly afterward, entering the room
where the sub-editor was vigorously en-
gagged in "boiling' copy, apparently
deriving much aid and comfort in the
operation from the cigar which he was
silently pulling while the smoke wreaths
curled above his head like the steam
from any other boiler. Mr. Conant said;
"Well, | see that is sent up"
"'Eh? what is?' asked the other.
why" said Mr.. Conant, pointing to
the fragrant clouds of tobacco smoke
that tloated overhead, that is. That is
scent up" The joke was fragrant,
though timely, and to the man who, for
the moment, had rested under the faint
cloud of suspicion that was so speedily
dispelled, it has been fragrant memory
ever since.-N Y Iri6une
