Come not transfigured by the light of love, In garments of thy soul's pure bliss arrayed, For my sad spirit cannot rise above Theginve. where all its fondest hopes - are laid.

Wc do not understand why Southern fanners show so little interest in the grasses and winter pastures. Southern grasses are to become ten times more valuable than the cotton crop. Winter grasses are specially important arid valuable. Here is an article that every Southern farmer should read: Some writer, whose name has been dropped from his article, now going the rounds of the press, but who seems to write from lower Georgia, says it is most desirable to avoid as far as possible an annual expenditure for labor in the management of our lands. Wc require a certain amount of forage for winter. Pulling fodder is one of the operations of the farm. Well cured, it is the most palatable forage which can he given to horses. So is champagne the most agreeable of all fluids to man. Put the fodder is too expensive for the farmer's horse and the champagne t ?o expensive for the farmer man. Just think of a farmer going into a hundred aero corn field with a gang of hands and handling every separate blade of every separate] corn stalk. Contiust this with a mower cutting down eight acres of] grass a day?say sixteen tons, raked up by a horse rake, tended by horse | power, loaded into the wagon and thence into the barn by a hay lifler, untouched by human hands in the1 whole process J hit there is a cheaper process! than this. It is one that cannot he, adopted in the North, because the < liinntc will not admit of it. This cheaper plan is to provide winter pastures for mules, horses, colts, catlie, and thereby enahlng them to mow and save their own hay without cost to us, either iri the way of negroes, mower, haystacks or barns. The way to obtain a good winter; tmsturc is simple and not expensive. ! Take a piece of wood land, thin out the worthless timber, leaving rail trees and masHmaring trees. The exact distance cannot he given, he I cause the trees differ very much in the amount of shade which they produce. The Kentucky rnlo is toi thin timber to that the ground shall j pot sunlight at least a portion of the | day, otherwise the grass-will he sour j ami rejected by live stock. The I ground should be well sprouted; j grubbing is not necessary, though it; is the best. The tree tops should! be piled up and burned, and the] ashes scattered. Except for ap-j pearar.ee, the logs need not be piled | and burned. Grass seed should be i sown. The available live stock of j the farmer should be turned upon it to trample in the seed. Hogs art j excellent for this purpose, feeding, them shelled corn scattered as wide- j ly as possible, and feeding them in j an entirely new place every day. , The seed sown should consist of orchard, blue, herds and ineadow oat grass, if the latter can be obtained. One bushel of this mixture is sown to tiie acre?onchalf orchard grass, j and the other seeds in equal properfirm. Persons wishing an immediate use! of this pasture, plow and harrow the! surface, and sow rye with the gras* seeds. In such a case the logs must be burned The rye will not make good grain, but will give excellent winter and spring feed. This opera" tion may be performed in the fall, though most persons will prefer the cheaper plan, and sow in February grass seed alone. As soon as the native grasses and weeds will appear, live stock should be turned in to eat tlietn down. They will not hurt the young grass, but benefit it by con> solidating the soil. So long as these weeds and native grasses spring up they must be fed down. In the fall they cease to grow, and sown grasses should he left ungrazed until New Year, when the stock should again be put upon them. In a year or two the native grasses and weeds will disappear by close grazing and tramping, and a good swaid of the artificial grasses will be formed. If the land lias been sprouted and grubbed, the sprouting must be re* peatcd two or three years, unless goats arc used. Such a park of wood winter pasture will not only be an ornament to the farm, but a source of profit to the owner. We have a-good deal of capital in woodland. J?y adopting the course above suggested we preserve our timber and make our dead capita! (active. The cost of such a wood pasture need not he large. It is increased if rye or fall oats are sown for the necessary plowing or harrow! ing. and burning the logs. For grass n o o ? ! alone, tho whole expense need no' I exceed five or six dollars an acre. If the lot be enclosed, the whole c.\' pense will be the sprouting and burning brush, and the seeds and sowing. ! ?Mobile Jl'-jintcr. Fuels for the Farmer. It is worth while for all fanners i everywhere, to remember that i thorough culture is better than three mortgages on the farm. That an offensive war against the ! weeds is five times less expensive than a defensive one. I That good fences always pay bet | ter than a lawsuit with neighbors. That hay is a great deal cheaper ma le i:i summer than purchased in : winter. ; That more stock perish from famine than founder. That a horse who lays his cars back and looks lightning when any | one approaches, is vicious, i That scrimping the feci of fatten j ing hogs is a waste of grain. That educating children properly > is money lent at 10 per cent. That one evening spent at borne in study, is more profitable than ; ten spent lounging about saloons | and taverns. i That cows should be milked regularly and clean. Self-Made Men.
