The Management of I'aitnrn.
This is a matter that is giving' con
siderable concern to many fanners, for
. in the present state of the markets
and of values, they are apt to over
stock the pastures and more than half
destroy them in an effort to keep down
expenses and save the grain crop.
This kind of work is of the penny wise
order and must eventuate in serious, if
not permanent loss to those who
practice it The Manchester, X. II.
Union, has a few suf jestive remarks
on the subject which we present be
low: I Now stop and think the matter all
.'over. Those steers that you have
turned into fall feed. th;it is, the mow
ing fields, re growing faster than
they have b fore tins season, and the
cows are doing better in proportion to
o r conditions, .lust think where
you would have V-en if they could
have had such feed all summer: ( an
you afford to supply Mich feed or can
you afford to ilo without it? Watjh
the cattlo feed whs re they can yet a
mouthful at every b.le and then go
into the pasture wlu-ra they have been
all summer and calculate as nearly as
you can how many motions they must
make and how much ground they
must cover to till their stomachs so
they will be ready to lie down and
chew their cuds. About half of this
difference is on

if it is tine and
two inches
thick for stock to do well and if it is
kept down to about, that length it is
better than field gras-i wiiL-li grows
tall enough to shade itself. Kut in our
fifty-acre pastures on piainsor hillsides
there are not more tliin 'Ive acres on
an average that would produce such
feed if they were not, overstocked, aud
as our pastures are too often stocked
according to the acres they contain
rather than the feed they produce the
green spots are gnawed close to the
ground, and cattle wo"k hard all day
and come tip lank at night. There
should be some change in the system
and each man njust decide for himself
"how he will change it. Everyman
who conducts what is called mixed
farming needs all the manure he can
make on his fields, and as he needi to
spend the most of his labor there as
well, the pastures are left to take
their chances.
There are several systems of rotation
which may be adopted to advantage
under proper conditions. Where any
considerable part of the pasture land
can be plowed, plowing and re-seeding
with a light manuring will make a
great change for a few years, and one
field may be pastured while another is
being :ultivated. Another plan of ro
tation is to make the pasture into
three parts and keep sheep in one of
them two years and let the cattle have
the others one or two weeks alternate
ly, depending on how fast the grass
grows. Then take the sheep pasture
for cattle and give the sheep one of
the others. The object of this is to
feed the pastures more closely with
sheep than could be done with profit
by cattle. Sheep want a greater va
riety of food and when grass fails will
eat other plants and kid out many
weeds that cattle would not touch.
For pasturing in this way six or
seven sheep may take the plae of a
common cow, and more may be counted
on if there are more weeds and bushes
than grass. Horses are more particu
lar what they eat than cattle or sheep
and a pasture where colts have run
until the golden rod and blackberry
vines have almost taken possession,
can be cleaned out and brought into
clean grass in two years by stocking it
heavily with sheep.
Much may be done with pigs when
there are co ws enough kept to feed a
good herd of swine and it is not desira
ble nor convenient to keep sheep.
Pigs will work m wet places and dig
out every plant that has a succulent
root. Their work will ba mora thor
ough aud rapid than that of sheep, but
if they are fed with slops from the
dairy it is not so convenient to have
them in distant pasture-;.
The Poor Farmer Hoy,
You may talk of the hardships aud
torments of the army mule, but they
are trivial compared with those en
dured by the farmer boy. I liave been
reminded of this by tho disposition of
the hands about the thresh ! 11 g machine.
As you know, the hardest, hottest po
sitions are upon the straw stack; and
if there aro any boys about the machine
and there always an you may safe
ly bet your bottom dollar thev are on
i iie straw stack, i ot the farmer vvon-
ders why the straw is stacked so noor-
'iy, and gets mad about it. The bovs
syfacn me sirengm to Handle tne straw;
give them the easy places and put the
men on the stack. I have said that
boys can always be found upon the
straw stack. I will make one excep
tion; if tho wind blows the dirt out
from the cylinder, the boy is put to
tt bands.
' In harvest the boy is expected to
keep out of the way of the reapjr, do
his work well (if a bundle is found
open, it is always blam.i on the boy)
'fetch the water, go after the inonkey
i wrench, and hunt up the oil-can, and
- ho can slop the pigs, fetch hay for the
horses, and pump water for the cattle,
while the men are cracking jokes in
me snaae alter ainner.
When a boy is sent out to plow, he
Is given a plow that a man will not
use, and the oldest, meanest team on
the plaee. If there is a dull hoe, the
boy has it; if an axe has been broken
tnd ground thick, it is given to tho
boy: if thrra is an old, rusty hovel. It
U-lori,--. t the bjy. The boy is set to
mowing vteil ; n f.n:-c? corner with
the hiii tvira to Ue.-p off the breeze,
Il:1 not the August sun: and if that
were i.ot enough he is always given
worn-out scythe. If it is broken and
loose m the Miatb, that is all tie bet
ter. Tne b.iy is expected to pitch as
much hay as any body, with astraight
tined. inllexib'.e-handled fork, and
scolded if he duesn't. That boy is
6cnt out to cut fodder with a knifa
that would do to split rails, were it
not so dull, and set to grubbing with
a mattock that would bo treasured by
archaeologists.
When there is nothing else for him
to do, he burn brush in summer, and
sorts potatoes in winter under a shed.
He is expected to turn the grindstone,
catch the chickens, run the pig out
of the corn, weed the garden and go
to the store ("but dont stay a minute
Jimmy"; for exercise. If there is a
picnic he is given the ugliest horse on
j the place (a mnle. if possible) to ride,
i l.c to spend anil told it is hoped ha
j won't expe.'t another holiday for four
months; and he is continually reinind
j ed that he hai had a holiday till the
j four months are passed. If be hap
pens to break anything, a hubbub is
made as if he had knocked out the un
derpinning of the universe.
This not exaggeration. I appeal
to your honest, can lid self if this is
not about the a v?r i j ; lot of the far
mer boy. N'o woa.li.-r the boy wishes
lie were a man a man that he might
leave the farm. O.i, mothers and
fathers that wonder why boys hate
the farm, too often are you. as Hetsy
Trot wood said, blind: blind! blind!

Itut'er lout Working.
In these days of progress in the
dairy room, much working of the
butter has come to be viewed as not
only unnecessary, but an absolute in
jjry to the grain, and its finer quali
ties. The Indiana Farmer says: Many
advanced dairy people are of the
opinion that the butter worker will in
the near time become a feature of the
past, and its use altogether dispensed
with as it is well known thH too
much working will spoil butter in its
finest form, destroying its solidity and
producing a salvy and unpalatable
condition. A correspondent in the
Oh'o Farmer describes his plan of
packing batter sun-essf ,i!iy without
working it at all.

in small quantities, pressing it
firmly down: tip the package
over to drain, as the water accumu
lates on top of the butter, while pack
ing. Fill the crock or firkins more
than even full, then with a silk thread
cut the butter off to a level with the
edge of the package. This will leave
the granules exposed on the surface
and the purchaser can see at a glance
that the package, contains granular
butter instead of a salvy, worked-to-death
compound of buttermilk rancid
cream, with a very little butter fat in
it If sure tiiat the butter is such that
you can warrant it to be strictly gilt

package with .your name and address.
This warrant is a wonderful stimulant
to urge one to do his best The maker
stands out in full liirht, with nothing
to shield him from the consumer of his
butter. Tho consumer knows who
made the butter, and if as warranted,
more orders are sure to follow.
Sheep Sheiirintr.
Do not feci breeding sheep to highly
nutritious food, as it is highly injuri
ous. If the farm products are fed on the
farm, some sheep can be kept to an ad
vantage. Value of the lambs largely depends
upon keeping the ewes in a good thrif
ty conditiou.
Sheep bear a strong relationship to
mixed husbandry, and any attempt to
separate will generally prova disas
trous. The tendency to improve the mutton
will also improve the form and hardi
ness of the animals to the same ex
tent. Keeping sheep over-fat at any time
is injurious and should always be
avoided, and especially the breeding
animals.
Household HeijM.
Hot wnter is an excellent remedy for
ery-s'pelas.
Never use strong or rancid butter in
seasoning vegetables.
A correspondent asks what to do for
a fresh bunion. Try painting it with
iodine and wearing u loose shoe.
Headache, toothache, backache or
most any joint ache will be relieved by
heating the feet thoroughly with the
shoes on.
For a disagreeable breath, put a few
drops of tincture of myrrh in a tum
blerful of water and thoroughly rinse
the mouth with it.
Ma.iy a man, and perhaps more
women, would have been saved from
insanity if they had resolutely ob
tained sufficient sleep.
A white cashmere or chudda may be
nicely and easily cleaned at home by
using snip-bark, which may be ob
tained at any druggist's.
In washing black-wool goods before
making them over use five cents worth
of soap-bark to a pailful of water, bet
it stand until cold. Iron on the wrong
side.
Housekeepers should caution their
maids against the use of kerosene in
laundering shirts. The oil is likely to
remain in the garment, lending a dis
agreeable odor not enjoyed by the
wearer.
To take grease spots out of carpets,
mix a little soap into a gallon of warm
water, then add half an ounce of
water; wash the part well with a dean
cloth, and the grease or dirty spot'will
disappear.

The rosin weed, a species of sil-

is a natural compass. It grows every
where in the West, and wherever it is
found in open ground, that is, in
ground not shaded by trees, houses or
fences, its leaves point directly north
and south. This peculiarity has given
it several names applied in different
localities, and it is variously called the
compass plant, the pilot weed and the
polar plant.
