GOOD PASTURES. .
A{armer should not be unwilling
to bestow all necessary care in es
tablishing a good pasture, and, once
established, he should be equally
careful that it is neither injured nor
wasted. A good pasture of small
area properly attended to will be
worth more than a much larger one
when no care is bestowed upon it.
The damage done to the lands of
middle Georgia has been incalcula
ble where stock has been permitted
toroam the pastures; and perman
ent when the soil was so wet that
the stock would sink to their ankles
cr deeper in the softsoil. One of
the rules of intelligent farming that
is to be held invoiolable is never to
plow pasture land when it is wet
(too wet). Some soils are injured
less than others by such a practice,
but the damage to soils in which
clay predominates in always so
great that itis strange that any
kind of a farmer cannot see that
the injury is far greater than any
value that may accrue from the
pasturing. It requires years to
neutralize the bad effects on the
soil that is trodden by cattle while
it is saturated with water. How
ever, much inconvenience may at
tend the observance of this rule, it
should never be violated. Soiling
crops should always be provided so
that food can be cutand ted the
stock in their stalls, or lots, when
wet weather occurs. A small acre
of pasture may be made to go twice
as far by not turning the stock into
it until after the dew has dried
off, and by letting them remain
long enough to get a good ration.
Forty-five minutes twice a day in
the pasture—in the morning be
tween 8 and 10 o’clock, and in the
afternoon between 3and 4 o’clock
is sufficient. It is the trampling
and lying down, and the droppings
‘deposited, upon the grass or clover
that usea up the pasture and makes
it only one-third as usetul as it
might be. This waste should be
avoined. Let the soil be fairly dry
before allowing them to go wupon it.
Never allow them loose when there
is any water standing upon it, or
when the soil is saturated with mois
turs. Especially with winter pas
ture should this care be observed,
never turning in the stock while
there is frost on the grass, or grain
or clover. One hour towards noon
is sufficient.—S. A. C. in Savannah

INTELLIGENCE IN COWS.
The other morning, a very sultry
one, two cows came to our gate,
evidently on the lookout for some
thing, and after being at first some
what puzzled by their pleading
looks, I bethought myself that they
‘might be in want of water. No
sooner had this idea occurred to me
‘than I had some water brought in a
large vessel, which they took with
the greatest eagerness. The pair
then sauntered contentedly away to
a field near at hand. In about halt
an hour or so we were surprised and
not a little amused, by seeing our
two friends marching up to the gate,
accompanied by three other cows.
The water tap was again called into
requisition, and the new comers
were in like manner helped liberal
ly. Then with gratified and repeat
ed “bOO-008"v—a unanimous wvote of
thanks—our visitors slowly marched
off to their pasturage. It was quite
clear to us that the two first callers,
pleased with tneir friendly recep
tion, had strolled down to their
sister gossips and dairy companions
and had informed them—how, I can
not say, can you?’—of their liberal
entertainment, and then had taken
the pardonable liberty of inviting
them up to our cottage.—Pall Mall
Gazette.

LIFE’S FORCES.
Whoever diminishes sieep dimin
ishes life. People of active, nervous
temperament wear out more rapidly
than slow folk, and require more
rest. They may seem to require
less, because they are so much in
terested in what claims tbeir atten
t.on that after a moderate amount
of sleep they find it easy to be wide
awake. Energetic people need net
be afraid of sleeping too much.
Persons who teel uncomfortable at
ter sleeping may generally trace
their bad feeling to other causes
than too much sleep, which may
have been heavy by an unhealthy
condition of the blood for want of
ventilation or obstructured ecircula
tion from improper clothing or pe
sition. No one should become so
fatigued by work of muscle or brain
that a good night’s rest will not fol
low and afford complete recupera
tion. No love of being considered
“smart,” or of fine cookery, or busi
‘ness, or wealth, or pleasure canjus
tify perseverance in wearing out
life’s forces without carefully afford
ing daily opportunity for recupera
tion. Only the care of the sick can
excuse a lack of so essential a duty
as that of securing a sufficient
amount ot this great restorer, balmy
sleep. It should be taken regular
ly, it possible, when the light and
noise and bustle of the day cease.
It is important to have several
hour’s sleep before midnight, and
better to sleep during the shade of
night than when the sun bids all
things be astir: yet it is better to
take a nap during the day than not
to sleep enough.

Up and down, up and down—one
day a millionaire, next day “dead
broke’—one day buoyant in spirits,
next day gloomy as a fog——-one day
in seeming perfect health, next day
“laid out” with a bilious attack or
your stomach “on a strike.” This
18 the way the world wags now-a
days. Ifyou arebilious, melanchol
ic, dizzy headed, dyspeptic, want
appetite or have torpid action of
liver, kidneys or bowels, take Dr.

We should do all that we may to
honor the memory ot those who fail
in bonest endeavor. The successfal
will always be sure of glory. In a
tew instances the defeated have
names as illustriousin history as the
conquerors. But these are excep
tions. As a rule, the triumphant
tells the story and the crushed is
barely allowed to be gallant or sin
cere He who rebels successtully is
a noble patriot—failing he will al

Nasal Catarrh
i 8 a dangerous bisease. From its
tenpency to extend to the .throat,
bronchial tubes, and finally to in
volve the lurgs in consum?tive dis
ease, it should be srompt y cured,
that these grave dangers may be
averted. So confident are the man
ufacturers of Dr. Sage’s Catarrh
Remedr of their ability to cope suc
cessfully with this very prevalent
disease, that they have for years of
fered, in good faith, 8500 reward for
a case of catarrh, no matter how
bad or of how many years sta.ndinf,
which they canuot cure. Remedy
only 50 cents, by druggises.
Mrs. Oliver ot Athens 1s a remark
able woman. She is 87 years of age,
and does not remember taking a
drink of water; in fact she cannot
bear the fluid. Her eye-sight has
returned to her and she can now do
the finest needle work without the
use of her glasses. She is as hale
and hearty as if only 50 and bids fair
to reach ber 100th anniversary.
T et A e
A person ina passion very fre
quently jumps at conclusions so sud
denly as to jump his head off, as
they say, and the following well il
lustrates: “I say, Neighbor Snobs,
if you don’t keep your hens out of
my garden I will shoot them.”
“Very well, Doolittle, shoot away;
only, if you kill any ot my hens,
throw them into my yard.” Crack
went the towling-piece morningafter
morning, and fat hens were pitched
into Neighbor Snob’s yard. They
cooked well. After a fortnight or
two Doolittle discovered that Snobs
never had any hens, and that he
had been shootiug his own, which
broke out of his own coop.
