Caro- and Improvement of Pastures

Grass.ought not to be pastured in very
early spring before the ground settles
and the sod becomes firm. By this early
pasturing the tops are kept closely cut
OFF, the roots are much injured, from
which the grass does not recover for the
entire season. To gain and thrive a
grass needs some green leaves. When
the pasture is thin and unproductive
harrow the surface and sow on other
kinds of grasses and clovers, with a top
dressing of some fertilizer. This serves,
to some extent, as rotation Of crops for
the soil. When the cattle are fed oil
meal or other rich food, most of it goes
TO fertilize the land. Baron J. B. Lawes
advises against feeding grass the first
year. He opposes moving it the second
year, having found that this practice
destroys the clovers and lesser grasses
by encouraging the stronger growing
spires. He avoids moving for several
years, feeding with cattle in preference
to sheep. He sows variety of grasses,
leaving the best to hold their own. The
falling of of pasture may be avoided
by liberal feeding on the ground of
cattle eating cotton meal cake.

Tricks of Manner.

To illustrate how the little tricks of

seasons ago who speedily became a pro-
nounced belle that at her first few ap-
pearances in society, out of sheer embar-
rassment, she invariably stood with her
hands clasped. Before she ceased to re-
sort to this peculiar method of relief her
reign became established, and all the
girls OF her set, recognizing her suprenl-
acy, quickly saw and copied her inter-
twining fingers.

How to Grow Cabbage,

10 have cabbage early, tender and de-
ilcious, and to have it productive. it must
be well fed. The secret of success that
attends its cultivation by the market gar
deners is the vast quantity of manure
used. Where manure cannot be cheaply
obtained cabbage should be grown on
sod ground, which, for early market
purposes, should be plowed not later than
the 1st of October. There is no fertilizer
cheaper or more effective for cabbage or
other crop than a decaying sod. For late
cabbage plow about the middle of Nav.
or when grass is in the most active state
of growth; it is then as efectually killed
as though plowed in autumn. Manure
should be put on and plowed in about the
middle of July, or just before the setting
OF the plants. As soon as the plants are
established set the cultivator at work in
the field, the Doe in the garden; not only
should they be set at work, but they must
be kept at work-persistent work in cul-
tivation is the price of cabbage. The
cultlvator will not long do in the field:
the small pillow must follow, as no other
implement pulverizes the soil as well
In the garden the fork must follow the
hoe
On the subject of varieties, C. L. Allen,
authority for the foregoing, tells in
American Agriculturist that the best
cabbage is the Jersey Wakefield, both
early and late varieties. The late sort is
now popular with the market gardener
as succession, coming in between the
Early Wakefield and the Early Summer.
For late cabbage, the Savoy is one of the
best as keeper, as we'll as for quality.
The next choice is All Seasons, one of
the best for general crop. In the choice
Of varieties for general crop, locality is
to be considered. A given variety will
not thrive alike in all situations anv
more than given variety of apples will.
