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

How They May Be Renovated without De-
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 sufficiency for the
animals obliged to crop living from
them. One gets but a slender interest
from such lands, where, if they were
properly handled, they ought 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 thread
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 into grazing condition.
But, after all, it is hardly ever necessary
to destroy the old turf in order to re,u-
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 ard or bone-then fol-
lowing over this with 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 lco;ened turf to-
gether with the liquid strength of the
manures. By this process the old sward
is re-inv. gorated and loosened up from
its mosS-bound condition, besides insur
ing to the seeding imme late growth.
Halt the seeds that are usually cast
upon the unbroken or uncut sod are
wasted for want of an opportunity to
terminate, and unless they can be fur
nished access to the soil itself they can
not be expected to aid the meadow very
materially. This work of fertilizing
and re-seeding must be done before the
grass from the old turf has got much of
4 start.
A splendid manure for grass lands is
such as is obtained from crushed bones
or phosphates of any kind. How often
have we noticed how richly and luxuri-
antly the grass springs up about an old
bone or carcass that has lain. partly de-
cayed, all winter upon the sod3 From
this we get an idea of what the pasture
might be made if properly fertilized and
tended, and to neglect the culture of
the grass lands is, on the part of the
stockman, as damaging as it is for the
vine dresser to neglect his vines, or the
gardener his plants. Good meadows
carry us to market on fat horses with
plenty of plump rolls of gilt-edge but
ter in the basket. -NatiOnat Lie Stock

THE SEA.

To Know tho Ocean One Must Not Visit
Fashionable Watering Places.
No one can know the sea or have
any fellowship with it who goes to the
fashionable watering-place at fash
ionable time. Essentially the occa-
sion to learn the mighty monsters
secrets is when no one else is there.
The sea that has so much to tell a soil
tary wanderer on his shores has moth
ing to say to the individual who goes
there in August or September because
every one else he knows does SO too.
Then the sea is only perfect to the
children. They understand and love
him, he is fine playfellow, and shows
his best face to them, but he is mOnOt-
onous or speeches. to those who have
as little in common with him as he has
with them.
1t is sad to pause on our last hilltop
and give him our farewell look. How
we love him! for has he not been our
friend when all the world seemed false?
Has he not soothed us in sorrow, COM
forted us when winter walked the
earth and all seemed frozen and dead?
and in early spring how grand did he
appear gamboling in the sunshine
and laughing as it seemed to us be-
meath the exultant northwest wind!
Time goes on, alas! and we 60 with
him. The country, beautiful as it is
under the sudden rush of sunshine that
brought spring as it were in moment,
looks tame after the sea; yet we strive
to forget him. Expanse after expanse
of yellow kingcups, to whom the
cuckoo flowers were courtesying in the
breeze, made the earth look like new
field of the cloth of gold. The oak is
golden, too, and while the laburnums
wave, dropping golden wells of fire,
it is like the morning of the golden
age, and the world is very fair indeed.

"A hill Of raspberry plants, after be-

The chief difficulty in teaching

Ounces can be raised as readily as
apples or pears. But the ground where
they are growing needs to be kept from
grass and weeds; and it is an excellent
practice to spread ashes of any sort and
lime around the trees, and dig such
fertilizing material into the soil.
Ounces sell as high as ten dollars a
barrel, and they have always been high.

bake it in jelly cake pans. Take the
whites of two eggs, half pound of
sugar. the juice and grated peel of one
orange and half lemon. Beat it and

The latest improvement in raising
Lima beans is to use brush about eight
feet high, stuck like pea-brush, instead
of poles, as commonly practiced. Plant
in hills about three feet apart in the dl-
rection of the rows, two or three plants
to the hill, and the rows six or eight
feet from each other. Cut off the tops
of the plants when they get above the
brush. and stop all the side shoots
when they are two feet long. The
vines are much better exposed to the
sun and air in this manner, and far
larger crops are said to be matured
than by polling. Chicago Tribune.

OMEWHERE

Somewhere
The skies are blue and days are always fair;
The gentlest showers upon the grasses beat:
And birds sing sweetly in their green retreat
Where shadows interlacing on the moss
Work beauteous patterns as they Irvine and
cross.
What though the winds be keen and mountains
bare
When we but SILVER in the wintry air
The skies are blue and long days soft and fair,
Somewhere.
Somewhere.
When summer heats Cypress US with their
The fragrant winds are breathing clear and
COOL
Where moss and lichens deck the sylvan
And toilers rest contented in the shade.
No sultry furnace-heats with parching stare;
No desert sands, forbidding, barren, bare;
No quenchless thirsts to rack the spirit there,
Somewhere.
When we are struggling with our load of care,
And troubles weigh us with their burdens
And life is but desert bare and brown
Tho happy peoples live in peaceful joy;
No evil thoughts to dim with earth's alloy,
Or anguish crOuching in its tiger lair,
Or pain too deep and pitiess to spare;
But all-pervading peace, complete and fair,
Somewhere.
COIueWncre
They know not terror's grim and stony stare;
Nor griefs that bow us to the barren earth,
Nor ills which petrify or stifie mirth;
But sweet cOntentment every day and hour,
And resignation with its priceless dover
of calm enjoyments which no tears may fret,
And memories poisoned by no vain regret.
Fame stirs no envies with its trumpet blare,
Ambitions hurt not with their work and wear;
But patience governs, and regrets are rare,
Somewhere.
Somewhere
Repose rests like a presence on the air;
And while We struggle i'm our constant grief
Or seek i'm troubled things to find relief
They rest in quiet where glad sunbeams play,
And gentle spirits guard them night and day.
Thank God that though these chains of i'll we
wear
And weared souls their tribulations bear
We walk i'm faith, and wa surcease of care
Where sweetest rest rewards each earnest
prayer,
Somewhere.

A Wonderful Fish.

A correspondent of the San Francisco
Examiner writes from Lake View, Ore.
"a wonderful fish is becoming nu-
merous in Goose Lake. It has the
power to fill itself with air until it be-
comes very much like round ball. OF
evenings about shutdown they may be
seen playing on the surface of the
water. Tney will swell UP by taking
in the air. and the wind will blow them
over the lake. They reflect all the col
ors of the rainbow, and when sporting
over the lake are 3 grand sight a
hunter several weeks ago saw a crane
swallow one of these fish when in its
normal condition, but before the crane
had got more than fifty feet up above
the lake the fish had taken in enough
air to explode the crane, which, at the
sound of report like that of gun,
flew ali to atoms, and the fish came
lightly down on the water, no worse o.
for the short ride in the air. The fish
is great curiosity. never having been
found, l believe. in other waters" The
last statement is authentic.

How He Would Announce 1t.

Joe Castiron is a bachelor, and not
long ago went away from town on a
a visit, and the report became circu-
lated that he had been married. On
his return friend pinned him down.
"How is this about you getting mar
ried?'' he inquired.
faint So" said Joe, emphatically.
"Why, I'm told postal was received
from you. saying the happy event had
occurred, and of course that meant
| you were married"
"Well, hardly. You don't reckon
I'd announce my wedding by calling it
happy event, do you?"
IL should think most anybody
would"
"Maybe they would, but you can bet
I'd announce mine as a sad affair.
Happy event indeedr" And Joe hus-
tied off, while his friend remarked to
himself. Joe must be thinking about
the poor woman. "-Merchdnt Traveller
