Change of Pasture.

10 is a too common practice for
land devoted TO the pasture to be
gwen to the stock in a body, over
which they have continuous and
unrestricted range. That this is
not good policy is apparent. The
whole pasture surface is kept con-.
stantly fouled and tread down. No
portion of it is allowed to freshen
up during the grazing season.
Actual test has proven that two
five-scre pastures, fed alternately,
are worth much more than one ten
acre field ted continuously. The
grass.roots have a much better
chance In the former, especially in
the dry time. They are not then
constantly trampled, and the pro.
tectlng growth above fed down
One half the pasture is allowed an
uninterrupted growth of several
days while the other is beng fed
This in turn will offer fresh feed
while the first Is getting a rest, and
so alternately through the growing
season.
The expense Vf thus separating
the pasture into parts Il slight IN
deed compared with the benefits
realized. IL is supposed that the
pasture is already surrounded with
fence. All that is required to make
the division is to run a fence across
the pasture. This fence may
usually be OF rather light, tenn
pOrary character, as there is moth
ing on either side to attempt stock
10 make a breach, aud no great
damage to DO done If they do
Movable panels may be staked in
place, or three wires strung TO
form the division. The cost of this
improvement in a ten-acre pasture
would not be over IS or $40, while
the gain in a single season would
treble this amount.

Cure for Collie in Horses.

c. II. Allen, Queens County, n.
Y, writes the american Agricut
turist that he has found three drops
of tincture of colocynth a sure
cure for collie The tincture is to
be given in three or four table
spoOnfuls of water, repeating the
dose every twenty minutes until
there is relief. COlocynth is a
strong irritant, yet, although we
do not doubt that horses have re-
covered from collie after taking
three drops of tlncture.of colocynth,
we can hardly believe that so small
a dose has produced this effect. 1t
is given to the human subject IN
doses Of from five to fifteen grains.
Among the most eilectual remedies
for both spasmodic and flatulent
colo m The horse are the following {:
Aloes, eight drains; tlncture OF
aconlte, thirty drops, in a pint OF
water; or hnsed oil a pint, to which
may OF not be added an ounce
of sulDhuric ether; or oil of turpen-
tine, two drains; laudanum, one
ounce; linseed OIL, pint, or In
great pam, laudanum two ounces;
warm water, eight ounces. Veter-
inarlans often use hypOdermlcally
Magenda's solution of morphine
from twenty 70 forty drops, or
asafetida two ounces, tincture OF
opium Oaudanum) half an ounce.
The doses above are in marked
contrast to the doses Of colocynth,

quarter 70 a grain, probably,

Packing Butter for Winter.

In putting down butter tor winter
nse in a small way there is nothing
better than large, well-glazed
crooks, with covers clO-e-dtting
and glazed inside as well as ont.
side. Glazing on the inside of the
cover is often neglected, and
when it a, the porous earthen,
which Is a powerful absorbent, soon
becomes loaded with foul matter
that gives of bad odOrs and spOlls
whatever the crock may contain
The packing should be solid and
the butter reach to one inch of the
top Of the crock, and ;he butter
covered with the bleached muslin
free from any starch or sizing. The
lar should then be filed with all
the salt 10 VIII mold and snugly
pressed down. Then turn on
little pure water, just enough to
rise to one.half the depth Of the
salt aud no higher. Brine on the
butter with dry salt on top makes
a better protection than all brine
or all dry salt. Then cover as
closely as possible and set in a
cool, dry cellsr-not on the ground,
but up little from the ground
and If the butter Is all right when
il is packed it NAV reasonably be
expected to be sound next winter.

FAGa and HOUSEHOLD.
ANIMAL MANURE lNDISPENS-
ABLE,


We want to say to our farmer
friends taat farming caunot be
carried on successfully anywhere,
Tor any great length OF time with.
out animal manure to put upon the
land. The experiment has been
repeatedly tried, but always with
failure. Jethro Tull thought he
could gee on by good tillage alone,
but he wore out his land failed. a
large number of very good farmers
have believed that turning under
crops of green clover was oil that
was necessary TO keep up fertility.
But il turns out that clover nor
any other green crop ploughed un-
der, 10 matter how continuously
and persistently, viii not keep the
land rich, without other mauures.
A larger number still depend
almost exclusively on commercial
fertilizers TO keep their farms pro-
dnctive. But the lands are found
to be getting poorer year by year.
The fertilizer only stimulate the
lands TO death, and exhaust every
vestige OF vegetable matter
On the other hand, wherever we
find the best crops, the most pro.
ductiye soil, and the best returns
for labor, We find that animal ma.
nu1eS are largely employed. Ami.
NAL mannres enrlches land, All
other fertilizers exhauStit. Plenty
of animal manures is the one great
need Of southern farms. No lands
respond to good treatment sooner
than ours. What We want is, to
pen and house the stock constant
", and SO make plenty of manure
TO put upon the lands. We waste
too much manure by the road sides
and on the commons. We should
have a thousand loads of stock pen
manure where we have only ten.
Animal manure make fertilizers
proftable,-they make the land
pay, aud labor productive, and
they make the farm richer, even
after giving better crops than any
thing else.
Farmers, pen the stock, hitter
tie stalls and pens, let the manure
accumulate rapidly, build up the
soil INSTEAD of exhauSting il. If
you want to ruin farm, discard
them but If YOU desire your son
tOown good farm after you, make
and apply all the animal manares
you can. In the long run, no farm
can be- kept up without them
