grass. If these seeds are sown alone
they should be covered with the har-
row. I'll. pasturing should begin as
soon as they have made a good stand,
that is to say, as soon as they have
got firm hold upon the soil. If sown
with q nurSe-crop that crop had better
be oats, and the eats should be SOwn
at the rate Of not more than three or
four pecks per acre and then harvested
for hay at the heading out stage. A
pasture thus well established should
last many years.
1t may also be possible to establish
a good permanent pasture in some in
stances when the land is too wet in
the spring season to admit Of cultiva-
ton. If the dead grass or reeds on
these sloughs can be burned off in the
early spring, seed can be S0wn upon
them of the kinds named above, but
less in quantity. They should be sOwn
and narrowed just when the frost Is
out q short distance from the surface
and the pasturing should begin as soon
as the ground is firm enough to bear
up the animals.
1t is thus apparent that by the eXer-
else of. forethought our dairy cows
need seldom be without succulent pas
ture except in unusually dry seasons.
There are no seasons so dry that soil
ing food cannot be grown to supple
ment the pastures. In closing l would
emphasize the importance Of not keep
ing pastures grazed too closely If we
would get the best returns from them
that they are capable Of giving.-Pro-
fessor Thomas Shaw, in Northwestern

TattoeinR and snake Bite,

While scIsntlac minds are discus
ing the anti-toxin serum treatment Of
disease as II 1t were a new thing, the
people Of ancient BuEmah are calling
attention to the fact that for centuries
the material they have used in the
common custom Of tattooIng has been
an efficient anti-toxin for snake bites.
The tattooed Burmese regard the bites
Of poisonous snakes as harmless.

The sons and daughters OF the

have q pretty hard lot. They are gen
orally very poor, yet they have to live
In enormous houses and keep up a ira
dition Of magnifcence. The young men
drive in dog carts which, according to
rumor. are owned Jointly by a dozen
Of them. The young women are to
be seen driving on the Pincio, arrayed
in stylish hats and coats, wearing good
gloves and carrying pretty parasols.
And yet" says the English CORE
spondent who is responsible for this
gossip, "thelr distrait expression shows
that they are uneasy in their minds.
The particular form Of guilt which
burdens their souls Is q dread that
some one will invite them to descend
and stroll about the bandstand, reveal
Ing the fact that their skirts are BY
no means SO smart as their coats OF
waists, and their boots more open to
criticism than their gloves"

Protecting Trees From CaterpiIIar'

One of the great nuisances about
trees in summer is the ravages OF in
sccts, and to successfully combat them
requires careful and vigorous action.
A quite common method is to wrap a
band of cotton around the trunk satu-
rated with some liquid obnoxious to
the class Of insects that crawl up the
trunk; but perhaps better is the more
modern preparations, such as caterpil-
lar lime, which, being thick and sticky,
are almost positive barriers if put on
thoroughly. The preparation should
be at least one-quartcr inch thick on
the tree and in u band five OF six
inches Wide.-Meehans Monthly.

Reading railway, from Philadelphia to

ing backed by plenty Of capital, they
are enabled to offer tempting sums for

ground along this line are only too glad
to get their old fences torn down and

They also receive a handsome sum per
