THE GRASS FOR THE LAND.

There is great wealth in the grass
crop, whether it be in the pasture or
the meadow. More attention should
be paid by nearly every farmer to the
selection of grasses adapted to his
soil, his conditions and his needs.
There is very large number of good
grasses, but very few are popularity
grown. The ordinary man seems to
think that one kind of tame grass in
his pasture is about as good as another,
and if one of the standard grasses
does fairly we'll he looks for no other.
But grasses vary greatly in the growth
they make on different soils. With
farms varying all the way from light
sand to impervious clay it is reason
! able to suppose that there are m any
places where our commonest grasses
do not do so well as other grasses that
might be brought in.
Of course we recognize the fact
that for hay to be sold in market it
will not pay to try any but the best
known grasses, for the reason that
the buyer of hay in the city is not in
clined to experiment with new kinds
of hay, at least not unless he can get
the new kind at a very much lower
price. But the farmer himself is not
thus circumscribed. He can grow and
feed without prejudice any new grass
The work being done by the govern
ment in bringing in new grasses from
all parts of the world is destined to be
OF great value to the farmer, and the
latter should not be backward in avail
ing himself of the opportunities pre-
sented. A number of grass plots
should exist on his farm, and in these
should be grown the grasses best re-
ported of for his locality. Our prac
tees of grass growing are bound to
undergo a radical changes; and the
future will no more see us sticking to
the two or three kinds of grasses now
being grown than the present sees us
growing the potatoes and cabbages
that were favorites with our grand
fathers.
Different grasses use different con

grass land it may prove possible to
substitute new variety for an old
variety with advantage. Some of the
new grasses have been brought from
lands subject to great extremes of
heat and cold and drouth, and will
prove especially serviceable on lands
that are SO mechanically constructed
that they yield readily to drouth con-
ditions. Progress in the science of
grass growing will come only with all
the known valuable grasses Farmers

''Wise spending,' is counted by
Ruskin as the more impo rtant half of
political economy. A Vermont man
had in his account book a separate
entry of what he called 'fool money"
If such items were carefully set down
in all our private and public book
keeping, how would the total look?
The good rule is, never to save money
at the loss of what is worth more, and
never to part with it for what is worth
less. But TO determine what is worth
more or less,-ak, there's where the
wisdom comes in.-EcchGnge.

THE BEST REMEDY FOR RHEUMATISM.

All who use Chamberlin's Pain Balm for rheuma-

BEGGED OFF FROM CHURCH.

The late DIR. Forbush was an excel
lent rdconteur, which we believe is
French for story teller. Here is one
of his stories which some of our read
ers may remember:
Two boys begged off from church
one Sunday morning, and were given
permission to stay at home, if they
would promise mot to NEEDLE with
the calves" CThere were two I'M
broken steers in the barn Yard. Of
course they promised, and of course
they "meddled." Perhaps, but for
their promise they would never have
thought of them.
AS soon as the cold people were out
of sight, the two boys went out to the
barn-yar, and finding a small yoke,
set about breaking their promise and
the steers. One of the steers wouldn't
submit to be yoked, and so the young
er boy was persuaded by his brother
to be "the other calf" He had hard
ly got his neck into the yoke, when
"the other" ran off taking his "mate''
with him, up the street towards the
church. Just as the pair reached the
sacred edifice they met the congrega-
ton coming out. "Fcr Gods sake,
stop us!' shouted the terrified youth.
The boys father and one of the dea-
cons, at the risk of their lives, sue

The most perilous hour in a per-
sons life is when he is tempted to de-

courage loses all; there is no more
hope of him than of a dead man;
but it matters not how poor he may
be, how much pushed by circum-
stances, how much deserted by
friends, how much lost to the world;
if he only keeps his courage, holds up
his head, works on with his hands
and with unconquerable will deter
man, all will be well.-Good House
