Regarding Permanent Grass.


1t is great fact always true, now as
in ancient times, that old things pass
away and new things take their place.
The man, whatever may be his place
and his peculiar work inlife, who thinks
that the present exhibits all the perfec-
ton that is possible in methods, prac-
tees and results, is most unwise, and
stands as serious obstacle in the path
of his own progress. American agri-
culture is mostly based upon the cardi-
nal principle that permanent grass is an
impossibility, and that it is indispensable
to seed land with grass with great pains
and after two or three years to destroy
all the work and pillow up the land for a
four or five years preparation for re-
seeding. And all this in the face of and
in spite of the fact that our best grass
lands are those which have never been
plowed, but which have been seeded
without blowing when the original for
est was first cut of nearly a century
ago, and also of that other one, that our
greatest supply of beef is now grown
upon grass lands which have supported
vast herds of wild cattle for centuries
and have never been turned by the
plow.-N Y. Times.

A VISION OF SUMNER.

How pleasant are the summer hoursl
The earth is gay " tn grass and flowers,
And birds are singing carols blithe:
With 10Y / breathe the perfumed air,
And gaze upon the landscape fair,
While wandering through the meadowa,
The hardy mower swings his soyths. i
The sun rains down his fiery beams,
A sheet of gold the river seems,
Where knee deep stand the drowsy kin0.
Through scented lanes my way trace,
Admire the mflkmaid's rustic grace,
The roses glowing in her face,
Her lips and teeth like milk and wine.
Upon flowery bank lie,
And watch the swallows as they fly
Swift-winged along the rivers brink;
1he watch-dog's distant howl hear, ~
The ROSTERS clar on, shrill and clear,
Beyond the wooded hill, and near
The carol of the bobolnk.
The far-off slets, creeks and bays
lie shimmerNg In the golden haze,
Beneath a blue and cloudless sky;
gaze around me- and admire;
The Sunbeams gid q distant spire,
And butterflies with wings of fire
Come Hitting round me where lie.
see the mower leave the field
To seek the shade the naples yield,
While his perspring brow he wipes.
But now the vision fades away:
hear a voice, half-angry, say:
"John, will that plumber come to-day,
To thaw those frozen waterpipes?"

Homespun suits of the genuine home.
spun cloths made in cottages and fisher

for business and travelling suits for men.
These are of rough, widely twilled wool
of most irregular threads, and are pre-
ferred in brown and gray shades.
Checked woolens and Scotch mixtures
are also generally used. The suit of
three pieces is alike, and consists of a

single-breasted vest with collar, and
trousers larger than those Of last winter.

The Old Farmer Who Wouldn't Admit
That He Had Been Conquered.
All honor to the people who will not be
beaten! Although a confession offailure
comes very gracefully from the lips, the
refusal to own that one has been con-
quered, bespeaks an indomitable spirit.
A good story is told of an old farmer
in New Hampshire, who would always
come out ahead of his antagonist, in one
way if not another, no matter what the
character of the competition might be.
One day, he and his help were engaged
in getting in hay, when, the old man
having found much fault from the NOW
with the slowness with which his assist
ants were pitching the hay up to him,
the boys concluded they would satisfy
him.
They began rapidly forking it up, and
continued until the NOW was so dusty
as to be fairly suffocating, and the old
man was almost buried in the mass.
After little they heard not a word
of complaint, and in few minutes down
to the door, covered with hay and al
most choked, came Uncle Silas. As he
dropped, the boys cried out;
''What are you down here forP"
To which the irrepressible Uncle ST.
las made answer:
"Consarn yer lazy pictersl I'm down
here for more hayr-Yoath's Com

NEGOTIATING CALVES.
Description of the Process by which Virus
Is Obtained.


FriskiAg about in a little enclosed
yard, in the village of Stoughton, were
half dozen animals, some on one side
and some on the other of that indefinite
line which separates calves and hefers.
One of these-a pretty beast, half Jer-
sey and half Ayrshire-was busy dodg-
ing two men, who found it hard work
to corner the obstinate ching. At last
the halter was securely fastened to her
neck, and then she walked quietly
enough into little building near by,
we'll lighted and as clean as such an
establishment can be kept Leading
her up beside the top of table that had
been swung over on hinges till its edge
rested on the floor, and it stood perpen-
dicularly, almost before the unsuspect-
ing creature knew what they were
about they had fastened her legs to it by
straps, her head was strapped down, the
tabletop was tipped up, and she was
lying flat on her side. Her tail was tied
to post near by, so that it couldn't get
in the way, and the operator was ready
tobe gin the work of collecting the vac
cine virus that may inside of week be
getting in its work on the left arm of
some reader of this article
Inc process, though simple, is inter-
esting and worth description. The
heifer spoken of above had been vacci-
mated week before. First, after she
had been strapped to the low table,
about two square feet of her hair on the
hinder part of her belly had been clip
ped. Then that area had been lathered
and shaved just as mans face is
shaved, but of course very large razor
is used. Then with a ''vaccinator, s"
which in this case is an imple-
ment about the size of a cap-opener,
having sharp knife points that work
with spring, little missions were made
in about two dozen places. Over these
virus was rubbed. Then the heifer
was taken to the barn and allowed to
live for a week just like any other we'll
kept heifer, save that her head was
kept between stanchions so that she
couldn't lick the sores, and her bed was
made very thick with clean straw.
Plenty of clean wateris always kept in
front of the heifers, rs DR.. Rose, who
has charge of the establishment, has
found by long experience that the best
results are produced when they have

on the remains of light stand that he
had travelled over. There is a good
deal of vim in heifers hind leg.
The sores don't bleed any, but from
them oozes very slowly an amber-color-
ed liquid, which the operator gently
scrapes off on the end of an ivory blade,
then dropping it into little glass jar.
AS soon as one is full another man takes
it and dips in it the little ivory strips,
familiar to most people who have been
vaccinated. The lymph will dry on
these points in an hour or two, and then
they are ready for shipment in the brass
cases in which physicians buy them.
Flies are the biggest bother in the
operation. They have an Unsuitable
appetite for vaccine virus. 1t actually
intoxicates them so they can't walk
straight. One good-szed healthy fly
will eat up five dollars worth Of virus.
There is great uncertainty in the busi-
ness, as one heifer may give very little
virus while the next will give great
deal. On the average, enough is Sc
cured from each heifer to coat from five
hundred to seven hundred points These
points sell at the rate of fifteen for tive
dollars; so it would seem as if the profits
are very large, but the expenses are
pretty heavy, and the demand varies
largely, according as there is or is not
smallpox scare. Many of the heifers
have to be bought outright, others are
hired. Men are kept on the road all
the time collecting them. The breed
seems to make little difference; per-
haps, though, the Jerseys give lit
tie more lymph. Many farmers have
the idea that the operation ruins the
heifers for any further use, but DR.. Rose
says this is not so, that they are just as
well as ever after it. In three weeks
the hair grows out so much that you
couldn't tell that they had been shaved.
A heifer is good for only one vaccina-
| ton.
Sometimes physicians use the virus
from the scab, rather than the points.
Some of it is sold in little glass cases,
made air tight. The virus will keep a
long time This firm has even sent the
points as far off as China. But of course
It is better when fresh. Some physicians
use the viras from the arm of baby,
but most people prefer the virus from
COWS. Respectable firms take the great
est care to Keep it clean.-BOStOH Globe
