nhsolutely necessary to innke n

February, take nil stock off, nnd
let nothing touch it until October,
whin you will gri/." nnd trump it

treatment, mowing ar.d tramping
thoroughly as here directed, tho
freezing process will never lift and
kill the sod; moss, briars and
bushes will never infest it, —it will
never become “ turf bound ” or run
out, hut will continue to improve
for many years, and then make n
prolific meadow for nr indefinite
period. The best'l imothy meadow
the writer ever saw, had been
treated on this plan for more than
forty years, and hod never rerjuired
resowing, or coultering or anything
hut the above management. A top
dressing, every second year, of 15
to 30 bushels of arbes, and 10 or
15 cart loads of stable manure per
acre, will increase the crop; but
the manure will not ho needed if
cattle enough are fed on it every
winti r. Low land, that is rather
wet, is l est for nxndnv-, ll<*r*ls
grass,especially, thrives best on w<*t
lands, but our rich hill sides, if
Conducted as hm* directed, will
make fine Timothy. In nil '•:■■■ -a

If there he a hold, permanent
spring, elevated above a flat ors'op*
stub a location will pay well fora !
the expense of irrigation. A ditch
s! ""hi he cut from tin spring along
ih* margin of the l.ill on tl e upper
Side of the plat, intended for
mead ov. Watorgntes about 20
feet apart, should ho made on the
meadow of tire ditch. They may
he constructed in any way to suit
the farmer; hut they must he tight
enough to retain water, nnd conve
niently arranged to let off as re
quired. A cheap water-,'ate may
he made by sinking a lilock of
wood in the hank on tho side of
the ditch, with an auger hole in
ti e centre, and long enough to
i low each end to he wa ll covered
at d firmly packed with dirt. A
pin to (it. the auger hole will close
it, nr ht it off at plea lire. During
Fid rtiary nnd M ireli the pies may
In* all wither iwn and the wat r
fllFwed to flow continually on the
meadow. During tho hot season,
nnd in dry weather, it should 1 e
let on the grass twice a week. In
seasonable w eather it may he let on
once a week, or not at all if very
wet. For irrigation, the evening
should he st !< Hed; allowing the
water to flow till d .rk. Were the
water let out in the forenoon, in
hot weather, the grass would scald
in the heat of the »! .v.
An irrigated meadow is generally
expected to \ n Id double the liny of
one not irrigated.

The first fiingi r must he three in

do not make the mowing lick by

mowing scythe you can cut one

you can cut two acres per day as

of desertion. The wife breamed
to >1 Lor. and for two years lived on
in silence and hope, By the end of
that time a letter was received by
the Stratford beauty from her hus
band.directing her to go at once to
New Yolk with her chi'd; taking
nothing with her but ,the clothes
she wore and embark in a ship for

A enitple of s a: Imiei s, living opposite
resort oil Lite south coast of England,
ii * rally got at loggerheads. One of
tL hi, in order to draw Ills neighbor's
ens ■ -ii 'is, pili .1 Ills window with shil
ling I aekets of nolo paper marked at
■ 1 veil pence. People started, walked
ill :nnl piirchnscd. The next morning,
when the oilier mail’s sliullcrs were
liken down, tlie window was tilled
with shilling packets of note paper,
marked eight peace. Day by day this
little game went on, mn ;underselling
the oilier, nut ill prices gradually
dropped to six ponce, five pence four
pence. I luce pence ami twopence.
By lies time the town aw and en
joyed the joke: and, notwithstanding
the efforts made to keep the sales down
by taking at least ten minutes to seal
or tic up every purchase, Ilia two sta
tioner* suffered heavily, and every
man, woman and child iuthetown was
stocked with enough note paper to last
them half a lifetime. However, the
tight went on, each man devoutly
wishing he had stuck to Ins legitimate
trade, mid had not tried to undersell
his neighbor. The murtdng following
the “two pence” day found the oppo
site window with the shilling packets
one penny. Tills was two much.
Within ten minutes an enormous
placard obscured the window of the
other man, l-eailng iu huge i, *ers the
words, ••fioto the fool oppo.-i;e.” lint
the “fool opposite” had had enough
In a few minutes the penny ticket dis
appeared, and in il * place the old price
one shilling, in a twinkling, down
came (he p'.sier hearing tie* obnoxious

A Itabbtt Story.
A while ago a father and son w ent
out into the snow, rabbit limning. The
snow measured twelve inches in depth
in some places, and in no place was it
less than six. While strolling along
signs umnistakenide led them to a hol
low chunk not more than three hun
dred yards away from a negro cabin.
The chunk was crooked, short ami by
no means over heave. The son threw
il upon his shoulder and walked away
to Ihe cahsin, where he procured an ax
ami in a few strokes cut into (lie hol
low. lie insetted his arm and took
from the chunk *wo line, fat rabbits,
and, thiakingthal all, left, in the af
ternoon the old man who live I in the
cabin carried into his loom one section
of the chunk and threw it'iipou the
tire. After healing up a while and
w hen it had aea.ily burned through,
tw o bouncing fat fellow s jumped out
and were captured in the room. They
were slowed and fiin.islie ! a most
enjoyable meal for the old darkey and
ins wife.—Henderson lloporter.
