L'luier p;*luri* is So o iinmon and
so well illicit r*lnod, that a noi.litc

ing would lip unneri'M <i,*v. K»»ry
good f.irni' r has his Find under »
rotation of crops. Sune judgmi nt
ill required In decide ns to tin: In s!
system of rotation; lint the amount
of tillable hind, nnd t'e number ol
blinds on the farm, are tho main
cotmib'rulinnn to decide tlie term of
rotation. Every tldrd, fourth <r
fifth year, 110.11 field tv II lie put in
small groins, such ns wheat, I. rloy.
rye nnd oats, and the clover is i iilier
sown when these grain crops are
pll in. or it is sown nfterwarils upon
the surface among the grow ing crop.
To set a field in clover, which i«
j.nt in any of the crops sown in the
fall, you cat) not safely sow the
clover at the same time. Voting ;
clover dm s not well resi-t the hard ,
freezes of winter, mid is therefore
very reliable to be thrown out ol
ground and hilled. When the fall
io very wet, clover may he sown in
Septcnd er with rye or barley, with 1
some prospect of standing the win
ter, but it will not do to sow later,
or if the ground he dry. The best
rule is to sow in January on the
ground, where tlm grains were sown
in the fall. And when clover is to
be sown with oats, the oats ought
to be sown early in February, and (
the clover sown on tin; surface just
afterwards. In all cases the more
compact the surface, the better for
the clover, Where the farmer i
wishes to cultivate his wheal crop
hy harrowing it at the beginning 1
of spting, the clover should he sown I
jvist before the harrow. In all cases j
it is best to sow timothy, with '
clover. It will make more and j
better pasture, and improve the
soil more than if the clover alone :
is depended on. During the heat
of summer, when the clover erasis 1
to grow for several weeks and leaves ;
the ground exposed to the sun, ju t ;
at. that time, the timothy will !
furnish pasture later in ti c fill than
clovir. About three quarts each
of timothy and clover should be |
sown to the acre. Should any one j
prefer to sow clover alone, four or
five quarts of seed to the acre will j
be required.
Early sowing is much the surest j
When these grasses are not sown
till March nnd April, the young
plants seldom get root enough to j
stand the dry spells of spring and
summer, nnd the crop is too apt to
be thinned out or destroyed en
tirely.
After harvest it will rot injure
the timothy nnd clover, to let stock
on to glean the fields or graze them.
The only imp. riant point, is to
take care that the young grasses
are not grazed too closely in dry,
hot weather. Some leaves must lie
left to protect their roots from the
hat sun.
After the first summer's growth
clover should he well tramped every
winter to prevent its being thrown
out of the ground hy hard freezes.
If not tramped it will “run out”
and grow up in weeds in two or
three years; but if well tramped,
the duration of clover pasture has
no limits, it will he good for a long
series of years. Hogs will damage
clover lots hy rooting in the hitter
part of winter; but in F e summer,
fall, and forepart of winter they
will not root it. But entile and
horses are the best stock to tramp
the lots. All pastures should lie
grazed in r; • .lion, and none of
them constantly. When a lot is
pastured, it should he fed down as
soon as possible, and have all stock
removed to another. In cool
weather, they may bo pastured
closely without injury, but in hot
and dry weather, close grazesing
will damage them seriously. Noth
ing ought to go on a clover lot from
the first of February, till the clover
is in full bloom and some of the
blooms become brown; then the
sooner all lots are grazed off, the
better.
In the course of y. ur rotation,
when the time arrives to plow up
a clover lot, let a crop of seed ma
ture before plowing it up; then
turn it under deeply, and you may
thus preserve see:! enough in Hie
anil, to give you a good stand when
you come to put this field down in
small grain.

Thought it IVas a Mouse.
The Newhmyport | Mass.] IB aM I> !
relates thu following incident: A shell j
lime since an elderly lady of this oily ;
startled the household with a piercing j
shriek and the inibrination that there i
■;vis a mouse in her pocket. Some one j
: rushed to her rescue, hastily assisted i
| her to divest herself of her wrapper, \
, firtily grasping the mouth of her pocket
to p.event the escape of the dangerous
m. Tlie garment was then turned
.a or to the man of the house, and he,
j armed with a club, proceeded to dis
pa c’l the offender. The po het was
| opened gradually, but no mouse appear
cd. Finaly, gaining courage, he ventured
to investigate, and found the cause of
all the oxeitiuent to he a pocket tape
i monum, from which the spring had bo
! come detatclicd and had unwound with
a whirr.
A good story is told by one of
! the Southern I). D's. tic was pastor
|of the Churc hin the City of
j C —. The organ ioit and choir gab
• lory were immdiately in the rear
nf the pulpit, and a little elevated
above it. The organist was a Ger
man, who, though a fine performer
j was not remarkable for great pres
enc" of mind, and was easily d>s
-1 concerted. Thehmtr for afternoon
service had rrrived, and though
| the organist was in Ms place, the
! choir hod not arrived. By some
mishap, also, the key of tho organ
had been misplaced. The minister
j not knowing these facts, slowly nnd
solemnly arose, and after announc
ing a hymn and rending it through
took his seat. Tin re was no re
pine fiom the organ ir choir.
Silence reigned supreme. Time
passed ott. The minister at.d con
gregation were becoming uneasy.
All eyes were turned to the organ
loft. At length the organist, with
a fidgety manner and face as red
as a beet, came to the railing in
fron* of the loft and in a tone
evidently inter led as a whisper,
but which was d s inctly heard hy
nil, made the following startling
announcement: “M ster In either,
i mister hreeuher, ve von’t have t o
singing dis afternoon. l)e xey m t
eooined, and do ladv vat sings the
sobrano bees not cootned, and the
rest of the peoblcs vat sings be not
coomed, and de otgan bees not
obened, and ve von’t have no sing
ing dis afternoon mister hreecher,
dot's so.” The etf ct may be read
ily imagined.
A Skeptic’s Argument.
In a biographical sketeli of tic
late Judge James 11. Curry, the fol- i
lowing highly interesting incident
is related :
I was, rays Curry, what might
! lie called a ikeptie. Ilariir.on (at
Natcinz), a ruble, whole eouled ft I
i low, whom I almost revt red as a
father, had a • iili.tiau wife, but
was himself a confirmed Deist, and
a <on found me out, and was not
Mil.tv in i ndeavoiing to instiM in
my mind lib notions. Uncharged
me however not to let his wife
know that he was a Debt, or that 1
was a skeptic. I asked why .''and
{.c remarked, il it** was to marry it
hundred timis he would marry
only it pious woman, i mid, why ?,
IK re pi ( d : If she is pious ! t n.al
der a better W If", il better lire “< l
a better mistress, a l» m i 10-igib
If she is poor it helps to r to (■* f
adversity with fortitude. I:
is rich and pr isperous, it b-m. o
li*r desire for mere chow. And
j then when slie collies to die, il ebe
; i« in error sin- is as well oil as you
i and rue; and if we me in error, she
jis a thousand times better oil. I
asked him if he knew of any other
error attended with so many ndvan
tngis. His reply wits evasive; and
soon after I determined to examine
ti e subject for myself. And I often :
look hack at that conversation, as 1
' o' c of the most important incidents
of toy life. To this conversation I
attribute my determination to read j
the Bible carefully, anil examine
j the evidences of the Christian r.dig-
I in for myself.”
Kqaal to tlie Occasion.
A I.(union new,-paper tells a curious
story alioiil a gcmleiliaii who proposed t
to the lady who is now his wife at a
dinner party, tie had been a lover j
some time, hut never quite persuaded -
himself tip to the point of poping tlie I
question. During the eventful dinner j
lie learned from the person silting next
him that a rival intended that evening
to make an ntlack upon his. Dnlei- |
lien’s heart. She was sitting some
distance from him at the table, and, !
| the rival was at tier side. lie was 1
j equal to (lie emergency, however, for j
! tearing a half leaf from his note book,
i lie wrote upon it:
‘•Will you lie my wife? Write your
I answer, yes or no, upon the paper, He
i turn it to me.”
j < 'ailing a waiter the ingenious lover j
j sent the missive, “to the lady in blue |
jat the end of the table —be very care- j
l fill” The (fervent (lid as directed, bill !
| tlie lover in his anxiety forgot to .send j
; his pencil. The lady had presence of
! mind, however and tucking the note
! in lo her bosom, said to flic waiter.
“Tell tlie gentleman yes.”
At a hoarding house on the Ilud- i
son one night, light bread was j
made up and set in tlie pantry to j
‘rise.’ Bed lima came and all |
j retired—all, at least, save a pet'
I kitten, who prowled about seeking |
a comfortable led. Kitty got into j
i tlie pantry, and finding tlie pan of
bread, which slie mistook for a
i nice soft cushion, laid down there
ion and went to sleep. The soft
i dough yielded gradually, and slow
ly but surely poor Kitty was en-j
gulfed, tlie baiter closing over and
leaving no sign. When morning J
came the bread was linked an !
brought in hot to breakfast. Im
agine the scene —all the boarders ;
seated at the table when that leal
was broken open. They left in a
body.
A young bachelor sheriff was
called upon to serve an athiehnwa.t
i against a beautiful young widow, <
lie accordingly, called upon her i
i and said: ‘Madame, I have an nt- |
J tachment for you.’ Tho widow
blushed and said bis attachment j
was reciprocated. 'You don’t
i undi rstand me; you must proceed !
|to court.’ But I prefer you to do i
•he courting.’ ‘Mrs. 1’ ..this is
no time for trifling, tlie justice is !
waiting.’ ‘Tlie justice is? Why li
prefi r a parson.’
Mr. Gradv of St. Louis, on bis j
way to business early one intensely j
cold morning, met a naked negro, \
who madly brandished a hatchet j
and advanced upon him. Grady ;
; said cooly : “You must be cold,’
and InAtily pulling oil’his over
c nit, offered it to the maniac. The 1
gift was accepted, and while the
, garment was being put on Grady
secured the hatchet.
At a 1 a’l in Saxony, a young
man entered, having what appear
ed to lx- a cigar in bis mouth. He ]
went to the chandulier as if to light
it, and a terrible explosion ensued.
Tlie lights were extinguished, the
na Is partly give way, some of tlie
dancers were covered with blood,
and the young man was blown to
prices. He had killed himself by
means of a dynamite cartridge.
