A WORD FOR PASTURES.

To answer the query, Shonld pastures be
by PLAIN yes or no would be like deciding
case before the evidence was submitted. A
New Y orker considers the quest or as follows
in letter TO american Cultirdt0r:
Don't pillow up pa tire unless you are
going to benefit it by the procedure, and, on
the other hand, dont see pasture get sterile
and thin of grass roots without taking measu-
res t. reiuvenate it in some way. l say sin
some way because it is impracticable to
thoroughly pillow and cultivate some of the hill
dairy pasture land in New York state or in
New England In fact there is p,uch OF it that
has never been plowed, although it has been
in pasture for upward of - years Such
past Tres are about as permanent as can be
found, having become so more from necessity
than from he of policy.
Now, no pasture is profitable, be it perma-
nent or transient that takes three or four acres
to support a COW. The old hily grazing lots
that cannot be recultivated by blowing and
roating with crops can and should be hetche-
led over with sharp teothed drag this spring.
II needed, grass seed can be sown at the same
time, which will catch in the exposed dirt of
the torn sod. Top dressing with manure will
be twice as effect We if combined with the
narrowing. OF course do not use a spriug
tooth harrow lat will turn the sods over. but
drag with Straight sharp teeth that will cut
right through them. Don't be afraid of in
.Duriug your pasture by this means. Not a
b t Of t for it Will va.t'y improve the growth
of grass. In some p.rts OF the wint n wheat
growing belt farmers drag their wleatields
every spring, with result that it increases the
yield of grain.
The beneficial principle of narrowing
pastures lies in the fact that grass roofs and
plants respond as quickly to the stimulus of
cultivation as do other vegetable growth. In
blowing up pastures for the land to go through
rotation of crops before another reseeding
do so for some definite and wise reason and
not on vague princil les.

HOW TO TAKE A JOKE.

There is only one way to take a joke and
that is with good nature. If one shows annoy
ance, he is apt very soon to become the Prey
of those social pests, the practical jokels. If
any man come to be looked upon as the legiti-
mate Wet; m for the silly ranks which prac-
teal .jokers delight in planning, then will bis
life become indeed bu den TO him. When a
practical joker gets up some piece Of folly
which is innocent in itself and is net ca!
cul ited to bring contempt upon the victim,
then any pers on with seEse of humor
can forgive it being played upon him. He
has been the l,wn in the circus, and he
has acted against his viii, but the performance
has provoked innocent merrment, and DO
one is worse off for the little diversion. But
when a practical joker gets up some nonsense
IL saved by fun from the stupidity which
more or less always preponderates in trivial
performance, and he carrying out OF the Sc
called JOKE gives pain or does injury. then tie
victim should seek redress in the same way he
would employ if his barn or dwelling We're
burned down by ncendiary. A man who
feels called upon to make jokes had best be
pretty certain of his sense of bumor and his
ca pacity to determine what fun is before lie
goes very far with his prediction. Without
this sense or this capacity he may geta broken
head and well deserve it, even through he
only meant to have a hugh.
Wher jokers not practicll-that is, when
they require no IN or elaboration, but are
soontaneous--it is not hard for a m IN not en-
veloppd i'll vanity and self love to tax, them
good naturedly. But when the laugh be
turned against conceted nun. how he
does vince and squrm and hate tie fellow
who made the ,ke. To uch m an it is good
counsel to advise them not to show their
wounds however much they hu t. TIC those
who know such men it is good counsel to adj
wise them 20 never make kes at the expense
of the vain. 1t will not do any good, for If
man grow to maturity and is still full cf
vanity h. will keep it L he dies. Neither
misfortune, failure; advers 7 nor suff ring will
ike the vanity out of :. man really vain. His
conceils stick to him as close as did the faith
OF job to that patient person. The Joker had
best leave such as these alone and exercise his
talents on those who will give and take and
enjoy good thing whether it strikes at home
or very far afiel l.

CARL KANLER'S CATS,

Broadway, and will continue for a couple of
of weeks longer. 1t consists of large number
of pictures in OIL water color and past ], the
work of Carl Kahler, the Austrian artist
The feature of the display is series of
pictures of Persian cats, the most beautiful of
the domestic Cat tribe, which have been trans
ferred to canvas by Mr. kahler wit wonder
full fidelity, sirgly and in groups, in all man
ner of attitudes. Remarkable as it may seem
these pictures are portraits. The artist has
made special study of these animals. and
finds the features of one cat to dff7r from
those of another, as do the features of the
human. With eXceleI tas'e, rich fabrics
have been selected for backgrounds of the
pictures and the materials re portrayed with
exceeding skill; the glister of silk the sheen of
satin, and the nap of velvet ale panied with
a cunning hand. While ost ,nsibly display

Careful weighing shows that an ordinary
bee, not loaded, weighs the one five thousandth
part Of "A pound, so that it takes 5000 bees, not
loaded, to make a pound. But the loaded
bee, when he comes in fresh from the field
and flowers, loaded WITH honey or bee bread,
weighs nearly three times more-.hat is to
say, he carries nealy twice bis own weight.
OF loaded bees there are only about 1,SO0 in
the pound. An ordinary hive of bees contains
from four or five pounds of bees, or between
10000 and $4,000 individuals, but some
swarms have doubled this weight AID humber

A singular case of European turn

His identity with the runaway school
boy was entirely lost, and the sanctity
OF his life made him an exceedingly in
