PASTURES.
How They May BE Renovated without De-
structive Flowing.

structive Flowing.
1t is not uncommon to find, all
through the country, pastures which
are not yielding half the forage they
ought to, much less a sufIiciency for the
animals obliged to crop living from
them. One gets but slender interest
from such lands, where, if they were
properly handled, they oughG to be
largely profitable. After the pasture is
about worn out is when we first realize
that something must be done, instead
of giving it an annual re-seeding and
refreshing with the proper manure,
which will keep it in good wearing con-
dition. 1t is rare meadow that will
fert lie and re-seed itself, besides nour-
ishing number of sheep or COWS.
Usually we are 10th TO break up the
green turf of an old pasture ground on
which we have been depending sum-
mer after summer for the tender forage
of our stock, and this largely accounts
for our allowing them TO wear thr adj
bare before we change them. More
over, we do not care to- spare the time
necessary for the new seeding, where
blowing is necessary in order to bring
the land aga N into grazing condition.
But, after all, it is hardly ever necessary
to destroy the old turf in order to reiu-
venate an old meadow. A practice is
followed by many. and highly com
mended by Youatt, of fertilizlng and re-
seeding without breaking up the soil.
This Is done by spreading first upon the
meadow such manures as can b, best
procured-barn-yard or bone-then fol-
lowing over this with n rolling cutter.
The missions of the cutter will carry
down to the roots of the grass much of
the manure and supply immediate
nourishment Then, if the desired seeds
are sown, the rains which follow will
wash them into the loo5ened turf TO.

The ancients have left as souvenirs
of their skill some wonderfully beautiful
engraved sapphircs. One represents a

The stone is one of two tints, and the
artist skillfully used the dark tint for

have had to encounter the objection
that woman was untitled for military
service, rs though there were some re-

ability to fight. Women who are anx-

therefore regard with great interest the

ORIGINAL POETRY.
An ODE TO MY UMBRELLA.

Conc muses. above, give tune tony tongue,
And help me in words ripe and mellow,
A song to append, or an ode to address
To my sacred green umbrella.
In quiet street not far from here
There dwells Hebrew man,
Who, of the many things he keeps,
Umbrellas has on hand.
Umbrellas black, umbrellas brown,
And striped ones, too, are seen;
But of this strangely varied stock
The one l chose was green.
o green, mighty power hast thou
To soothe the Irish blood
The "lord of creation proclaimed thee great
In tinting the mighty flood,
The grassy meadows have felt thy touch,
And refreshened by the fall of rain,
Renew thy hue in blades afresh,
Which ripen into golden grain.
Now on the Sunday following
1t CHANGED that the heavens looked gray,
And every indication showed
The coming of a rainy day.
So took my companion along with me,
And happy thought filled my breast,
That though the clouds might rain and pour
should be at peace and rest.
And when the sermon was over
found my forewarning true,
| For in the vast expanse of the sky
Not spot was seen of blue
And from the grayish heavens above
nho ~, Col l., IL e..
And even the thought of present warmth
Was chilled in the increasing blast
Ah look see maiden
| Who without protection seems to be,
Now, how could stand and allow my eyes
Such dreadful sight to see?
Without a thought, without a fear,
soon by her side was near;
May be allowed the privilege
This umbrella with you to share?
She looked at me, she looked away,
She turned her glance aside,
But beholding my umbrella she suddenly
| said
All Bob ! l think I'll ride.
Now it often has been truly said
That by coat we should judge neither man
nor fellow;
o tell me faithfully, we nymphs all-wise-
Why should it be his umbrella?
But though that girl has left me,
And there are many like girls in the land,
By you, old fellow, in rain and storm
I'll always take my stand.
So if down the street on a rainy day
You behold green spot rather yellow,
Just place it down for settled fact
You see me and my umbrella W.
