Pasture-Making Is an Art.

There is an art in making good
pasture that every farmer should turn
his attention to- The pasture should
be as well taken care of as any part of
the farm. Pasture lands ought to be
made as rich as possible. They should
be seeded down with large variety of
grasses, those of different habits of
growth, time of ripening of seed and of
good, rich food value. To the farmer
just about to seed down his land to
pasture one thing essential above all
others is the thorough preparation of
the soil. The land should be well
plowed and replowed, narrowed and
reharrowed, so as to pulverize it
thoroughly

EXPERIMENTAL FARMS.
something About Those Conducted by the
Canadian Government.

coAuctAiHs About IhOSe conducted Dy IHe
Canadian Government.
For several years past the provinces
and the federal government of Canada
have been taking an active interest in
the improvement of agricultural meth
DDS throughout the provinces, and at
present the equipments of their So
called experimental farms are very
complete and efficient. The central eX-
perimental farm, situated near Ottawa,
comprises some 500 acres of land and
a complete outfit of buildings and the
Necessary machinery. The buildings
are especially fitted up for cattle,
horses, pigs and poultry, and all of
these are we'll stocked. There is
dairy equipped with the modern ap-
planes for carrying on experimental
work. The farm includes a sced-test-
ing and propagation house and con-
servatory. Besides this central station
there are eleven experimental farms
situated in other parts of Canada, and
these carry on experiments IN agrlcul-
ture, horticulture and arboriculture
with much profit. The several farms
are situated so as to render them as
helpful as possible to the most thiclily
populated districts, and in their equip
ments and general methods they re-
semble closely the central station.
The staff OF workers at the central
experimental farm includes director,
an agriculturist, a horticulturist, q
botanist, an entomologist and a chem
ist. There are also d poultry manager,
foreman of forestry and several
assistants to assist the members of the
staff. The work IS varied in nature
and has to do with practically every
thing which relates to farming in Can
ada. The adaptability and merits of
various varieties of wheat are, for ex-
ample, the subject of careful inquiry.
Experiments are carried on to deter
mine the vitality and purity of various
agricultural seeds, and to investigate
the nature of the diseases of plants and
trees, and the cure for the ravages of
insects Various varieties of fertilizers
are tested to determine their compare
tive valueswith different soils and crops.
The study of the care Of ani1.als is a
very important interest, and the value
of different breeds of stock and their
adaptabllity to various climates and
other conditions are carefully investi-
gated These stations examine the
scientific and economic sides of butter
and cheese making Experiments are
carried on to determine the best meth
DDS of planting and pruning trees for
fruit raising or for shelter or timber
The infut nation gained in all this
work is carefully recorded and pub
llshed for general Observation-Disclosures

 The Montgomery Journal is m esteemed exchange that the Herald always reads with much interest, and there is 10 doubt but that our interest will increase lu that paper if it continues to write according to the lessons sighted in the editorial we re- produce below. It is known lo cur readers that the Journal and the Herald differ widely on some questions. We differ on the silver question:, for. one; but we are to- gether, and that strongly, In opposing the organization of silver leagues outside of the democratic party. If we are to remain united as party, then it is but folly to att tempt anything we wish to accomplish on the outside of the party. If silver is to be- come the important issue it now bids fair to be, 1t can best be disposed of by working in tue party's ranks, instead of going of into leagues, clubs and such like. We can stand united in the dear old party that has lifted the south above misrule, and decide on the silver question. II the majority are in favor or against, we can abide their views and rem ain loyal.
