the others and. usurp the land, which is
one of the reasons why meadows do not
run out as soon as pasture grasses that
are seeded down occasionally A good
meadow Is one that has thick sod. and
which may be said to be permanently es-
tablished
Not only does the moving of the mead
ow for hay deprive the soil of the ele-
ments of fertility, bat the same occurs
when the cattle are allowed to Craze on it.
Every pound of meat and milk sent to
market carries in its composition the rich
es of the meadow, and though the process
be slow one. yet time is sure to come
when the grass will be less nutritious and
its growth less rapid. Then will the cat
tie use only that which is the most
succulent and nourjshing, leaving the
more undesirable grasses to take posses
sion, along with weeds. until finally the
meadow must be plowed and seeded down.
IN order to change the variety of food pro-
duced by it. It fails to produce sutfi-
cient green food, and it yields sparingly
of hay.
The liquids from the stables are used
for renewing the meadows by some. but
this is not always done to advantage.
Good, well-rotted manure should be even.
~ spread over the meadow every tall. and
fertilizers applied also if necessary. All
grass lands are benefited by lime and pot
ash, but where the milk and beef take
away the fertility the loss is more in nj
trogen and phosphoric acid than in potash.
the lateer Astounding more largely in the
manure. Superphosphates, or ground
bone, containing fair percentage of nitro
gen, should show marked effect on mead
ows that are used for pasturing, and a
yearly application of 400 pounds of such
fertilizers per acre should keep the grass
in good condition if the season is favor
able. especially if applied on the land in
| the fall, as the rains will carry it down
before spring. The use of fertilizers con
tanning nitrogen and the phos-
| pilates should not deter farmers from the
use of lime and ashes, however, especially
| if no manure from the barn-yard is APP
| Piled. There is no reason for a failure OF
meadows if they are supplied with the
plant food necessary for sustaining the
heavy demands usually required of such

The Rulers of "a Great CITY,

We have before referred to DR.. Howard
Crosbys article in the May Forum. We
give the following extract:
Now, II Is because of these two facts
the immortality of the business and the
liability to moral Obtuseness in the rum
seLier-that government by rum-sellers is
dreaded. No one interested in the justice
of d suit wishes them on a jury. No one
would have his own estate managed by
them. No one would see them in respon-
slbe offices connected with education or
religion. No On4 would have them control
the railroad or telegraph interests of the
community. No one would have them di-
rect our banks. And yet, in spite of this
universal distrust of rum-seIlers as a class,
political trickery and political prostitution
put them into Legislative and executive
office IN city and state. Party leaders
stoop to this anomaly and party voters
Dllndly obey them. What do we see in
the city of New York to-day? Ten of the
twenty-sIX members are rum-Sellers These
ten, with four others who are like them,
form working majority to use their per-
Verted moral sense in framing ordinances
for the city Their legislation has become
a by-word and is suggestive of combines
and doodle" No one suppposes for a
moment that they study the interests of
the city, that they are moved by arguments
of patriotism and public virtue; hut every
one knows that they seek the emoluments
and political prestige of office, which are
the loftiest considerations with which their
minds are familiar When any ceremon-
ial IS to be held TO greet distinguished
strangers, the city is ashamed that such as
these represent it officially, and apologize
| words have TO Le whispered to guests
The city. manipulated by the low minds. is
made TO send like characters to the state
legislature, and our citizens are mortified
| at seeing in the chairs Of the senate and
| assembly ignorant and vicious men, who
cannot comprehend moral purpose, and
who are open always to the influence of a
bride. We have seen this power so sue
| cessful in its strength as to carry a state
election. and openly to boast that it rules
and intends to rule the wealthiest state in
the Union. This, if a true prophecy,
means the destruction of all moral barriers
and the establishment of criminal chaos.
1t means general corruption and the reign
of injustice and oppression. 1t means the
triumph of rogues and roguery over truth
| and righteousness. Are we ready for this

CHOCOLATE TARTS.
The strawberry.

The rose. the apple and the strawberry
seem especially intended 10y nature for the
use and pleasure of mankind. Not only
does the beauty and fragrance of the one
and the grateful flavor of the other point
to this but the very wide distribution of
each over the face of the earth, as well as
their great susceptibility to improvement
and adap' alton under the fostering hand
of man. seem to indicate unusual designs
in this direction. The strawberry is, per
haps, the most universally Acceptable of
the many delicious fruits intended for the
human palate. Some variety of it is found
growing wild in nearly every part of
Europe, many Of the finest sorts are in
digcnous to North and South America. and
even India has a native variety, though of
slight food value. Since the cultivation of
the strawberry began, moreover. it has
adapted itself readily to nearly all climates
and soils, no other fruit probably. being
now as widely disseminated.
Notwithstanding this. such Is the power
of popular fallacieS that the ancient belief
stiIl holds strongly in many minds that
only rare skill and the most unwearying
labor suffice TO insure crop of this heaven
bestowed fruit. 1t is false The straw
berry is as easy of cultivation as sweet
COru-Indeed, needs much the same care,
except in the particular of water. 1t
Ought to be universally grown by garden
propriet0rs. What is more delightful or
appetizing than the sight upon one :
breakfast table of a generous dish pleid to
a topping mountain with the blushing and
fragrant cones. fresh picked from the
garden and eXhaling the cool breath of a
lune morning? A rare charm. too. and
one in which the supply from the private
garden holds an immense superiority over
that from the market, lies in the mingling
of the various kinds, thereby bringing out
by contrast the subtle variations for
which the strawberry Is famous In
ones own garden the dish may be heaped
with a dozen distinct yarieties-the gener-
