PASTURING MEADOWS.

From our own experience we are
convinced that many meadows are
ruined either by pasturing too close
after harvest during the hot, dry
weather we 80 usually have in August,
Or by pasturing too late and too close
in the fall We pasture our clover,
and other meadows more or less each
season, but we let the season and their
condition determine how much. When
the conditions are favorable a consider
able amount of good pasturage can be
secured from the grass or clover and
they be benefited rather than injured,
while at other times pasturage would
have killed out good per cent. of the
plants.
Generally we find it good plan to
keep stock out until the grass or clover
makes a good start to grow, and then
allow the stock to pasture down, TAX
ing care always not to allow the stock
to crop down too close, and always
keep out the stock 80 as to allow good
growth in the field that will protect
the plants during the winter.
We had nice piece of clover that
we received good crops from annually
for seven years, and we ascribe il to
the fact that we allowed it to get good
start to grow before turning in the
stock, and never allowed it to be pas
tured down close. Our clover was ex-
ceptionalIy good this year. while good
per cent. of our neighbors are complain
ing because it winter killed go badly.
The only reason we can see is that we
pastured moderately last fall and left
a fairly good growth TO act as mulch
TO protect the plants.
Some Of our farmers turn their stock
in the meadows and clover fields as
soon as the crop is harvested and give
them free range until severe cold
weather in the fall, and it is too often
the case that the close pasturage in
the summer, as in the fall as well, kills
out the plants. 1t is economy not to
allow any kind of feed to go to waste,
at the same time it is rather POOR econ
omy to kill out good stand Of grass
or clover simply to secure a small
amount cf pasturage Ohio Farmer.

CRUELTY TO JOCKEYS.
The Prss-., of Training Them Causes
Inrr-dibis Suffering.

The British Medical Journal has
turned its powerful pen against the
abuse OF Jockey making. and has
pointed out the damage done to many
constitutions by wasting" for races.
Fev novelists have placed upon record
the life OF the stable boy who aspires
10 become a Jockey, or have dealt ade-
ouately with the priyations. dangers
and temptations OF his career. George
Moore deals briefly with the matter in
his powerful novel. Esther Waters" I"
hui very much remains TO be said. The
British Medical Journal sums up the
matter when It points out that very
few men are born jockeys-that Is
have small build, strong nerve and no
tendency TO run to fat. The lad who
can ride well and use his brain as well
a. his body may. and often does, make
weight Just as his career with all its
valuable chances is opening to him;
then TO it himself for the saddle MS

THE CLONDYKE SENSATION.
JOSEPH LADUE WARNS PEOPLE NOT
TO GO THERE WITHOUT BEING
WELL. PREPARED

San Francisco, July 1S.-Joseph Ladue. the
owner Of the town site OF Dawson City, Alaska,
the nearest town to the Clondyke section'
started last night for his home In Plattsburg'
N. Y. Besides owning the town site OF Dawson,
where land is already selling for So0O iot' MT
Ladue brought with him enough gold DUST 10
keep him in comfort for some time TO come
Mr.. Ladue stated to the Associated Press that
there was no doubt Of the richness OF the gold
diggings In the Clondyke region. He thinks
there is enough gold in the ground to keep all
the miners who can work busy for the next
twenty years However he issues timely
warning to the thousands who are preparing to
rush to the gold fields this year. He says:
There are at present about $500 people In
the country. and that number is about all that
can be accommodated this winter. Provisions
high, 1t costs 10 cents to 13 cents pound
to land goods at Dawson City, and 1t Is impos-
sible to get provisions In this year than
will supply the present population. II miners
rush up there this summer, unless they take
with them their own supplies, they will suffer
great hardships. l advise every one going UP
TO take supplies sufficient to last at least
eighteen months. The fare to Dawson CITY
from San Francisco is $150 and 1t will cost at
least $500 to transport supplies for one man.
The steamer Excelsior will leave here for
Alaska on July %. and already her passenger
accommodations are engaged. This VIII be her
last trip this year. The Excelsior goes to st.
Michaels at the mouth Of the Yukon, and pas
sergers and freight transferred to a river
steamer and carried 1000 miles to Dawson City.
Overland the route is about GOO miles from
Juneau, and the majority OF the miners rushing
to the new Eldorado will go that way. The
cold weather commences about the middle OF
September and lasts until May. The passen-
gers on the Excelsior will reach Dawson City
about September l. and will have to do their
prospecting In the snow.
Mr.. Ladue advises people to walt until next
spring before going to Alaska as the facilities
for carrying them will be greatly improved then.
