SHE SJ AL'ORTH ' EXPOSITO'R
AGRICULTURAL,
ow to Make 4: ood Pastures.
Many an acre grazed will not carry
3 she* p. Other acres will give full
reed to a cow, each, all through the
summer and be pretty good mowing
when the frost comes. Both kinds pass
under .our observation every day. The
difference is not in the original charac-
ter of the land, for it is found on ad-
joining farms, with the same formation,
and with the surface and subsoil look-
ing just .alike. There is a big pasture
of 50 acres, where 50 sheep would loose
rather than gain flesh during the sum-
ner. The oldest inhabitant does not
remember when it was plo..=ecl, seeded,
or top -dressed. It has always been ,
pastured -generally by cows until it
creased to yi ld feed enough to support
them. Th.Pre is some grass on it now,
but more mulleina, five -fingers and moss.
The grass is nearly choked out. But
the soil was 'originally good. The trees
that still send on the borders are heavy
oak and chestnut timber, which do not
thrive on poor thin soils. Yonder is a
field of five acres. that pasturesfive
cows, and has done it for several years
The grass is luxurient, and grows much
faster than the cattle can consume it.
It was stocked down five years ago, af-
ter seven years heavy cropping; with
vegetables and tobacco. Of course it
was *matured beaviily and very thor-
oughly cultivated. The land will feel
that treatment, and make grateful re
turns, for a whole generation to come.
It is far within the limits or the truth
- to say, that one :acre of this five is
worth the whole fifty of the other for
the purpose of sustaining animal life
and making salable products. The one
does not pay taxes; the other. pays them
and a handsome prat. Now we do
not believe that there is any royal road
to thrift with these run down pastures.
Top -dressing will'not answer, for the
grass seed is not there to vegetate.
Seeding will do little good, for the grass
already there, is growing small by de-
grees, If the soil is fair, arable land,
plow,: manure, and cultivate, and you
give it a new start. That old sod of
dead grass, -roots and moss roots, be-
=comes plant food, and sends up joyful
harvests. But this will cost money,
spent in manure, seeds, and labor. You
say, of comae it will, and if you geb
your money back again; principal and
. interest, you ought to be satisfied. if,
by spending $50 upon a worthless
acre of pasture you make it pay you
the interest on $60 dollars above the
working expenses, you are doing:a good
business. We must not use our capital'
in faxining just as we do in other enter-
prises. We must bury it as we do our
wheat, that it may live and bear fruit.
If we buy stook in a railroad, or in al-
most any enterprise, the >capital dies
for a time. We do not lose faith if it
sloes not come= back the first . or .second
year. Money spent in renovating old
pastures by plowing and manuring us-
ually gives full interest the first i year,
and puts us in the way to secure divi-
dends for years to come.—Anzerican
Agriculturalist.
the eggs were' fire laid. The receipt
is very simple and is as follows ::--
ake pelf tly. fresh: and sound eggs
and then water. For every threegal-
lons of water put in one pint of fresh
slacked lime, and of common salt one
half pint,; a Mix well, and let the bar-
rel be half full of- this liquor ; then,
with a dish, let down the fresh eggs in-
to it, tipping the dish after it fill with

Josh Billings on the Frog.
Josh Billings replies to a correspond-
ent in ,this wise : '
"Benvolio" in writing for you an an-
alysis of therog, 'I must confess that L
have copied the whole thing veratus ad
n liberating from: the Works of a celebra-
ted French writer of the 16th century.
The . frog is in the first place a tad-'
pole, all body and tail without coming
to a head.
He travels in pond holes, by the side
Of the turnpike, and is accelerated by
the activity of his tale, which wriggles
with uncommon limberness and vivaci-
ty. By and by, before long, pretty
s )on, in a few days, his tail is no more
and legs begin to emerge from the south
end of the animal, and from the north
end at the same time may be seen a dis-
position to head out.
In this cautious way the frog is built
and then, for the first time in his life,
he begins to get his head abuv water,
His success is now certain, and soon,
in about five days more, he may be seen
setting on- himself by the side of then
pond hole, and looking at the dinner
baskets of the children on the way to
the district school.
As the children cum more nearer,
with a club or chunk of brick in his
hand, to swott him with, he rares up on
his hind legs and enters the water head
fist, without opening the door.
Thus the frog does business for a
spell uv a time, till he gets to be 21,
and then his life is more ramified.
Frogs have 2 natures ground and
water, and iz as free from sin as an
oyster.
I never knew a frog to hurt anybody
who paid his honest dues.
I don't recollect whether a frog has
eny before legs or not, and if he don't
it ain't no'sody's business but the frog's,
Their hind legs are used for refresh-
ments, but the rest won't pay for eatin.
A frog is the only person who, can
live in the wet•and not get tired.
The bull frog is the boss of the pud-
dle, and has a log to sit on, over on
the other side of the puddle, and talks
to the rest of the frogs, way down his
throat, so that you can't understand
more than half he sez ; he is generally
a cross, lazy old fellar, all over wartz.
This is all there is worth known' now
about the frog, except that they catch
flies in flie time, and in winter by fi eez-
in' up solid.
No man can be sure of his nerves at
all times. We have, within ou person-
al experience, known of mote cases than
one where men with simple professional
training have been in the very jaws of
death from no other reason than this.
—Some years ago the paintings on the
inside of the dome of St. Paul's wanted
repair; and it was contrived, in order
to save the trouble and expense of a
scaffolding built up from the floor, that
a sort of suspeudedsseaffold should be
made supported by a ledge of about half
a yard in width, the upper surface of
the cornice just below the dome,and
hanging by ropes which ran through
holes in the upper part; of the dome. A
ship's carpenter—an old hand l at such
matters --undertook the job, ailed began
it by stepping out of a small' door at
the front of the dome into the v ledge in
question, from which there was a clear
fall of 200 feet on the pavement be-
-neath. He walked a few steps along
the ledge;- and then, being a broad
shouldered man; found that the inward
curve of the dome made him unable to
;stand upright,- and caused him to leap
over dangerously with an altered and
unsteadyr•centre of gravity_. , `Seized all
at once with an . overpowering sense of
fear, he managed, nevertheless, to turn.
his face to the dome.. and to rest, being
once more able to stand upright, till he
had a little recovered his senses. Then,
to, his horror, he foundthat he had for-
gotten on which side of him the door
was, or how far it was off and in trq-
ing to get to it by short sidelong steps
took the wrong direction, .and literally
walked in search of it round the whole
base of the dome, falling into the door
at last utterly prostrated, and feeling
as he said, "ten years older." However,,
he wade the scaffold afterwards, and
used to tell the'story of his fright, while
walking about on the ledge, in the most
unconcerned way." --Land and Water.
