PERMANENT PASTURE.
Practical Points Collated from the L
perience of Dairymen.

Practical Points Collated from the Ex-
perience of Dairymen.
At a late meeting of the Illinois
dairymen's association one speaker
said he prefers sowing all kinds of
grass seed excepting clover, early in
the fall, and that, as every square inch
of ground is capable of containing
seven grass plants, he uses 40 to so
pounds of seed to the acre; or-as some
seed weighs but pounds to the bushel
from 9 to bushels of seeds. For
permanent pasture a mixture of vari-
cites is necessary, so that animals
may always find some fresh growth,
but for moving ground 1t is best that
all ripen at the same time. He gives
orchard grass the lead, both for pasture
and meadow, as yielding most with
least drain on the soil, and least liabil-
ity to die out. 1t is social grass, doing
better in company with clover and other
grasses than alone. He has had twelve
years experience with meadow seeded
in early fall with 2S pounds orchard
grass, of meadow fescue and of oat-
grass, following these 81 pounds with
4 of red clover or 2 of alsike, to be sown
in the spring. All these mature at
about the same time. For permanent
pasture ground his preference is for 20
pounds orchard grass, of blue (green)
grass, of meadow foxtail, of meadow
fescue, 2 of rough-stalked meadow, of
timothy, 2 of fall oat grass, 2 of alsike
clover, 2 of red clover and of crested
dogstail, making in all AZ pounds to the
acre. An important point brought out
by the American Dairyman counts
against the policy of soiling, although
seldom taken into consideration. Grass
grown in the shade. either of its own
blades or of trees or bushes, is never
eaten by animals except under pressure
of starvation, and cannot be supposed
to have much nutritive quality or to in
crease the yield of milk or flesh. Every
one who has occasion to notice pasture
ground has seen the short, sweet, nutri-
tious grass growing in the full light
eaten down constantly and patiently to
the very dust, while close alongside
whole mouthfuls might be taken at a
bite oflong blades looking as if good,
but utterly rejected by the instinct of
the grazing beasts. A large part of the
heavy growth moved and carried in for
soiling must often be of this unsavory
character.-W. e. Waring, in N. Y.

HUMANITY IN WAR.
,rhe Humane and Generous Acts of Noble
Warriors.


1t is related of Henry w., the first
French king of the house of Bourbon,
that while besieging Paris, at that time
held against him by the Catholic league,
he was urgently advised to take the city
by assault before troops daily expected
from the king of Spain could arrive to
succor the leaguers He knew that by
a determined assault he could carry the
works before him, but he protested
against it on the principle of humanity.
81 will not" said he, "eXpose the
capital of my country to the miseries
and horrors which must follow such an
event. l will show to my people that
am their father; and | will follow the
example of the true mother who pre-
sented herself before Solomon. 1 will
not gain the prize through the slaugh-
ter of innocent persons.
In time, Henry reduced the city with
the loss of but few lives. In a subse-
quent conversation upon the subject of
the number slain, he exclaimed:
''lf it were in my power l would give
anything but my kingly honor to re-
deem those citizens, and to have the
satisfaction of informing posterity that
had subdued Paris without spilling a
drop of blood"
In the war of 1876 between France
and Austria, the Archduke Charles,
when fastening from Bohemia to take
command of the Austrian army, met,
near the scene of late action, a large
number of wounded soldiers, both
French and Austrians, who in the haste
of retreat and pursuit, had been
abandoned where they had fallen. The
only horses at hand which could posi-
bly, be used in removing these helpless
sufferers were attached to the artillery.
Let the cannon be left behind said
the humane prince, ''and let these poor
fellows be saved" And when one of
his generals demonstrated, he added:
mo, no; let it be as l have ordered.
The life of one brave man is better
worth preserving than fifty pieces of
ordnance"
When the French General Moreau,
into whose hands the cannon thus
abandoned had fallen, learned the mo-
tive which had prompted the archdul1e
to make the sacrifice, he ordered the
whole to be restored, observing that he
should be unworthy of being the oppo-
nent of his imperial highness if he took
advantage of SO noble an act of hn-
manity.-N- Y. Ledger

SPRING FATTENlNo.
Keep Hogs SO That Short Feed VIII Fat

Keep Hogs SO That Short Feed VIII Fat
ten in Few Weeks.
There are two seasons that may be
considered the best for fattening hogs.
One is in the fall, as the weather be.
gins TO turn cooler and new corn begins
to ripen sufficiently to feed, and the
other is in the spring, after the weather
becomes somewhat settled and grass or
clover has made enough growth to fur
nish good supply of feed. In order to
get the best results at either of these
times it is necessary that the pigs be in
a good thrifty condition
In many cases there is failure to Sc
cure the best results at these times for
the reason that the animals must needs
make up for what has been lost during
the summer.
All feeders recognize the fact that the
cold weather of winter and the heat OF
summer are the two most unfavorable
seasons to fatten hogs With care in
feeding and making comfortable, u
steady gain may be kept up, but usual
ly 1T is not good plan to fatten at
these times. But it is great advan-
tage to keep them in good condition
during the season in order to reap the
full benefit of the more favorable sea-
sons to fatten. While hogs will fatten
the faster If confined in close pen,
there is an increased risk of loss from
disease, so that, taking health into con-
sideration, the better plan is to allow
them the range of a good pasture.
Clover is better than grass for hogs,
although with good feed in addition a
very satisfactory growth can readily be
makes very satisfactory ration for
fattening in the spring. In many cases,
however, it will be a good plan to add
a small quantity of oil meal and wheat
middlings. This adds to the variety
and will be beneficial in this respect,
and when corn is high, as it is in many
localities now, ration of this kind
will lessen the cost Health and thrift
are necessary essentials in securing the
the best gain at the lowest cost, and
plenty of green food after long feed
ing of dry grain with a variety of grain
will make a thrifty growth.
Hogs ought to be kept so that short
feed will fatten in short time. Cen
orally hogs that are ready to market a
little early-that is, little early in the
spring and a little early in the fall
usually bring the best prices, and so it
will often be an advantage to push
them little. A pig farrowed in Sep
tember can, by keeping it in good con-
dition during the winter and then
pushing after grass or clover gets a
good start, be made ready for market
by the middle of May, at least, and will
return a better profit than if fed on
until August or September.-St. Louis

.sD LIVE STOCK NOTES.

Do NOT let the SOW and her young
pigs run with the other swine, advice
which we think will commend itself to
everyone.
BEGIN to plan arrangements by
which the cows next summer can have
plenty of pure water. Mud-puddle
water is not the water for the COW to
drink.
BE honest even in trading horses. 1t
is funny that it is practically thought
that even an absolutely honest man is
justified in cheating at horse trade, if
he can.
WHILE seeking to improve your other
stock do not forget that the swine are
worthy of an effort at Improvement,
too. Endeavor to make steady progress
toward higher perfection.
WHENEVER the calf becomes sick
give attention to the COW, and if
enough attention is given in that di-
rection, it will almost invariably be
found that some change in our methods
is required.
WE are asked if shoes are really nee
essary on horses Our correspondent

that stated, but our own experience

the same.-Western Rural.

sueTERRANeAN WEALTH.
value OF tho Products of Different Min
ing Countries.


When we reflect on the increasing
production of the mines where we seek
cornbustible minerals and metals, the
subject will be found TO be one of pro-
portionate Importance, since all the
conditions of financial and commercial
power are so intimately connected with
the existence of subterranean wealth.
The value of the entire products of all
the mines of the earth, which they yield
during the year, Is now estimated at
more than two thousand millions of
dollars. The precious metals, gold and
silver, represent but seventh part Of
this treasure taken from the earth's
subterranean stores. The greater part
of the gold comes from the mines of
California and Mexico and from those
of Brazil, Venezuela and the Nrgentine
Republic Next to these are rated Can
ada, Australia and India. The Trans
vaal in southern Africa acquires con-
stantly increasing importance; in 1886,
the export of gold was 69,543 pounds
sterling; in 1887 1873, ,534 pounds; in 1883,
235, ,970 pounds; and in 1889, it was 750,
900. However, carbon gives humanity
revenue three times as great as that
which is derived from all the silver and
gold mines combined. In this collosal
revenue given by coal, Great Britain
has the lions share; at present it draws
upon its coal mines for two hun
dred millions of dollars and it sells
fifty million dollars worth to the whole
world. Great efforts are constantly be-
ing made to attain safety in working
the Mines and these efforts have not
been wholly fruitless for at present,
although the sacrifice OF human life is
not agreeable to contemplate, the num-
ber of mining accidents decrease in pro-
portion to the increase in the amount
| of material mined. Maga-

Advice for sheep RaIsers.

Gull the sheep as they are sheared. By
the time it is one year old it's value can
be determined. Don't reject sheep
because it has failed to produce fleece
of certain weight. Look farther than
that Look to the points of the sheep
the length and quality of the fiber,
the shortness of the leg, the constitu-
ton, etc, of the animal. Remembe
that yollS in the wool has no value ex-
cept to soften and preserve the fiber;
and an excess is fault, not a merit.
An abnormal secretion of yolk is at the
expense of fiber. Almost universally
the heavy-yoll1ed sheep die first; white,
elastic feeces that make an armful,
have abundant vitality. One of the
corner stones of success in sheep rails
ing is to draft out heavily but judicious-
ly at least once each year; and know
of no other time at which sheep can
be so accurately sized up as when
sheared

Simple Way of Testing Salt.

The following method of testing salt
to be used in the dairy is laid down by
salt manufacturers 1t is a simple test,
can be tried by anyone, and will show
the purity or comparative qualities of
dairy salt: Take as many common
drinking glasses or large test tubes as
there are samples of salt to examine,
and fill each alike with clear, pure
water; then dissolve q teaspoonful of
salt from each sample and make the
comparison from the instant the salt is
added The solution showing the least
scum, sediment, foam, milky color, or
other impurities is the best dairy salt.
Flavor of the salt may be detected from
this solution after it has stood from one
to two hours closely covered. A good
color in salt is, of course desirable, but
the whitest or a glistening salt often
contains impurities extremely detri-
mental to dairy products which are
hard to detect, but some of these may
be traced in the solution method.

Next box, Fig. 2, was made of the
same dimensions for the lower tank,
only without a top, and sawdust (2)
was filled under and around the tank,
raising it even with the upper edge
of the box. A frame one inch deep
and the size of the boxes is fitted
on the top of the lower box and
tank. To its bottom is tackled
heavy burlap, which is covered
with half an inch of sand and top
sprinkling of sawdust for the chicks
to run on. The top box is placed eight
inches above the bottom one as shown
(3) and all boarded in, an occasional
pane of glass being set in the side to
give the chicks light. At the back of
this chick chamber a door is made so
it can be buttoned open or shut, and
curtain of thick wooden cloth notched
at the bottom hung there. This makes
a room 2Ox44 heated from above and
below. After the tanks have been
filed gallon of hot water to each
every morning and evening will keep
che temperature high enough, and per-
haps in mild days too high, if ventila-
tion is not given. The heat is so even
that the chicks never crowd as in
some poorly made brooders. The wa
ter is poured in the pipes at Fig. and
drawn from q faucet at the bottom
and front of each tank. Whenever the
floor of the brooder becomes soiled the
inch frame is drawn out of the back
door and it's sand and sawdust emptied

brooder until they are three or four
weeks old are fit to take their chances

The Persians' Love for Relics.

AS illustrating the peculiarities and
also the dangers of Oriental travel, Sir
Richard Burton relates an adventure
he encountered while visiting Persian
village, in the disguise of a fakir. A
house was assigned to him, and, in Or
der to keep up his reputation as holy
man, he scribbled some holy words on
the outside of his door with a bit of
phosphorus. This was done, of course,
while daylight lasted, and when dark
ness descended, the holy mans house
was decorated with a flaming text from
the Koran. But the result was hardly
what Sir Richard anticipated. The vii
layers were at first surprised, then i'm
pressed, and then there was a rush for
relics of the holy man, and in very
short time the whole house was pulled
down over his head! The assumed
fal1ir made his escape very rapidly, and
during the remainder of his journey,
never made use of the phosphorus
again. Golden Days.
