A prolific cause of the decline Of
pastures results from not stocking
them properly. Farmers are frequent
ly advised to Craze their fields lightly
II they wish to keep them permanently
productive, the depleted western
ranges being cited as glaring examples
of what happens where overgrazing Is
permitted. Such advice Is misleading
for humid eastern conditions. 1t Is
poor farming to fail to realize the
maximum benefits from the native
grass crop. The ambition of the aver
age stockman should be to realize the
largest total gain per acre or the max.
imum gain per individual animal, or
the highest possible production Of
milk, wool, pork, or mutton from the
grazing areas without jeOpardizing
their future production.
Grazing Beef Cattle.
Where heavy beef cattle are pro-
duced 1t is not practicable to Craze
too closely, as the animals will not
make sufficient gains to sell profitably.
But with young cattle or dairy cows,
the risk would not be nearly so great,
and the benefit derived from close
grazing would far exceed the chance
for loss. The extent and duration of
the grazing Is an individual matter
for each farmer to decide, but in max
ing this decision he should bear In
mind that many of the unproductive
and so-called rundown pastures In
the best sections of the bluegrass re-
giOn have resulted from too light rath-
er than from too heavy grazing.

Siberia that great lone land about which there is now much discussion, is vast that the i'm agination hardly grasp it's extent. A vague idea of it's size may be gained from the statement that it is A times large as the British isles and contains nearly 5,0000o0 square miles. In ali fls enormous territory there is population not exceeding that of the city of New York There are hundreds of thousands of square miles that are entirely unnhabited. It is land of mighty rivers, but the value of these rivers for purposes of navigation is greatly restricted. because most of them flow into the Arctic ocean and through. out their lower courses are cebound for the greater part of the year.

 Hints for Amateurs.
 Neatness Is always requisite of good sewing, and besides the fact that durability is increased, there is a sat- tsfaction in knowing that the inside of garment need not be withheld from critical eye.

 If it is difficult to adjust binding. the edges of seams can be pinked-a method in favor with tailors. There is no fraying of the edges, ard the bulky line is obyiated
