Permanent Pastures.

The easiest way that we know or 10
keep a permanent pasture In good con-
dition is to stock it hard enough so that
the grass will be eaten before 1t throws
M a seed stock or becomes hard ana
woody, and then give extra feed at the
barn SO that the animals will return al
least as much fertility to the soil as the
grass takes from 1t. OF course manure
or fertilizer may be carried out, and
spread on the pasture, but that costs
money, and Eastern farmers are often
at a loss to obtain fertilizing elements
enough for their moving lands and cul-
tiyated fields. If they buy feed to use
in summer when cattle are In the pas
ture. they hope to and usually do get
enough in the way of growth, fat or
milk production to pay for it, and look
upon the increased quantity and extra
quality of the manure heap as an extra
nrofit. In this matter of overstocking
the pasture it is best done and produces
hest results where there are two pas
turcs so that the animals can be
changed from one to the other about
once a week, or as often as the feed Is
eaten down smooth. This helps to pre-
vent them from gnawing so closely as
70 destroy the roots, which they may do
in some favorite spot If they are kept
too 10 az in one pasture.--American Gull

Growing Potatoes.

Potatoes will grow on great variety
of soils and produce excellent crops,
but the soil has much to do with the
quality. A soil that Is full OF humus
viii produce large tubers in abundance,
but they will lack the quality OF those
that are grown In soil that has less
humus, but Is rich In potash and other
minerals. The volcanic ash soils of the
Pacific slope grow some Of the finest
potatoes In the world, both In size and
quality. The mineral elements produce
the splendid result. The application OF
stable manure to this crop Is inadvisa-
BILE, for If the crop escape scab. as the
result, the quality of the tuber Will
pretty surely be injured. The follow
ing mixture is an excellent potato fer
tilizer: Muriate of potash. 400 POUNDS;
nitrate of soda, $50 pounds; dried blood,
800 pounds; fine bone -four, 500 pounds
plaster, 400 pounds; salt, $50 pounds.
This will contain about per cent. OF
nitrogen, 71a per cent. OF phospnoric
acid and 10 per cent. Of potash. Soak
ing the seed In a solution of corrosive
sublimate-dissolv two ounces OF
the sublimate In two gallons Of water
and then adding thirteen gallons of wa
ter-will destroy scab germs, butt VIII

summing up of the havoc wrought by
the fire raging at Hull and Ottawa
since IL q. m, yesterday, and at mid.
night was not completely under con.

Most of the lumber piles in Ottawa
and Hull have disappeared, and are
now heaps of charred wood and ashes.
Half a dozen churches and schools,
number of mills, the Hull waterworks,
the Hull courthouse and Jail, the post
office, the convent-almost every busi.

and shops in Hull have been destroyed.
Indeed. practically nothing of Hull is
left but church and few houses be-

The spot where the fire originated is
about quarter of a mile from the main

was soon seen that the fire was almost
certain to be q large one. BY 1880 the
fire had gotten good hold on Mair
street, and the entire street, with doz
ems of cross streets, was burning. Prac
tically there is not house left In the
street. About this time the fire made
a jump of nearly half mile and ignit
ed Eddy's woodward, near the match
factory.
1t was soon in flames, and the 50-mii'

a high column Of flame across Bridg'

pany. The fire at this time also spranl
across the Ottawa river and caught thu

Enternrise in Farming.

The farmer and his farm are SAID 10
no alike: that is, the farm Is what the
owner makes it, and it indicates his
characteristics. The main desire OF an
enterprising farmer is to save as much
manure as possible, and it is an old
maxim that the best way to Judge of
tbe work of farmer is to observe how
ha manages his manure heap, as In the
manure are collected the riches OF the
farm. An enterprising farmer will also
keen his buildings in repair and make
the farm attractive in appearance, but
at all seasons of the year, whenever an
onnortunity is offered for SO doing, he
viii give a portion Of his time to the
manure heap.

MILKING hY Machine.

Men dislike to milk cows and numer-
GUS machines have been Invented to do
it for them, says Denver Field and
Farm. Most of these machines are fool
ish contrivances and none are real sue
cesses. They are divided into four
classes: Dralners, suckers, squeezers
and suction-squeezers. No machine YET
devised, however, has become a dem
onstrated success. Some are better
than others. but none have proven de-
sirable adjuncts to dairy equipment
Men will continue to devise, and it is
not improbable that at some time large
herds may be MIXED by machine. This
opinion has many supporters.
