Winter Pastures.
It is desirable to avoid, as far as
possible, an annual expenditure for
labor in tho management of our lands.
We require a certain amount of for
age for winter. Pulling fodder is
one of the most expensive and least
profitable of the operations of the
farm. Well cured fodder is the most
palatable forage which can be given
to horses, trio is the champagne the
most agreeable of all artificial fluids
for man. But fodder is too expensive
for the farmer's horse, and the
champagne too expensive for the far
mer man. Just think of a farmer
going into a hundred acre field With a
gang of bands and handling every
separate blade of uvcry corn stalk.
Contrast this with a mower cutting
down eight" acres of grass a day, sity
sixteen tons, raked up by a horse
rake, tendered by horse power, load
ed into the wagon and thence into
barn by a hny-lWtcr, untouched by
human hands in the winde process:
But there is a cheaper process than
this. Jt is one which cannot be
adopted at the North, because the
climate will not allow it. This
cheaper plan is to provide winter pas
tures for our mules, horses, colts,
cattle and sheep, thereby enabling
them to mow nnd save their own hay
without cost to us, either in the way
of negroes, mowers, hay slacks or
barns.
The way to obtain a good winter
pasture is simple and not expensive.
Take n piece of wood bind, thin out
the worthless timber, leaving rail
trees and mast-bearing trees. The
exact distance cannot be given, be
cause trees differ very much in the
araoiiBt of shade which they produce.
Tho Kentucky rule is to thin the
timber, so that the ground shall get
sunlight at least a portion of the day,
othcrwiso the grass will be sour and
rejected by live stock. The ground
should be well sprouted; grubbing is
not necessary, though it is best. The
tree trops and brush should be piled
nnd burned, and the ashes scattered.
Except for appearance, the logs need
not be piled and burned. The ground
should not be plowed; grass seeds
should Jbc sown on the unbroken
ground, and then all the available
live stock of the farmer should be
turned in upon it, to trample in the
seeds. Hogs are excellent for this
purpose, feeding them shelled corn,
scattering as widely as possible, and
feerRngiiri\ dhTevenl place ever)' day.
The seed sown, should consist of
orchard, blue, herd's and meadow
oat grass, if the latter can be obtain
ed. One bushel of this mixture to he
sowed to the acre?one half orchard
grass and the other half of the other
seeds, in equal proportions.
Pork How to Cut and Trim.
Have the hog laid on his back on a
stout table. Clean the carcass of the
leaf fat. Take off his feet at the
ankle joints. Cut the bend off close
to the shoulders, separating the jowl
from the skull, and open the skull
lengthwiso *on the under side, so as to
remove the brains fully. Remove the
backbone in its whole length, am!
with a sharp knife cut off the skin,
then the fat, leaving only about one
half Vilich of fat on the spinal column.
Tho middlings or sides are now cut
from between lb 2 quarters, leaving
the shoulders square shaped, and the
ham pointed, or it may be rounded to
suit your fancy. The ribs arc next
removed partially or entirely with
the sides. The trimmings or fat from
the bams and flabby parts of the sides
are rendered up with I he backbone
strips for lard. The sausage meat is
cut off from the fat and ribs, and
other lean pieces are used for the
same purpose The thick part of the
backbone that lies between the should
ers is called chin; it is cut from the.
tapering bony end, and the latte^
part called the backbone by way ol
distinction. The backbone is used
wliilo fresh; the chine is better after
being smoked.
FjlOWKK Coi.ons.?The London
and Provincial Illustrated Newspaper
says: One would hardly think that
the fragrant violet and the bright
colored iris would ever be utilized in
commerce, hut it seems that, an Ital
ian chemist has just found out that
they may bo put to some other pur?
t^posb ffrWJ- tJuU. of gJa^d^iiing^nTTey e
and refreshing the nose. They yield,
it appears, a very line blue color, and
this is so sensitive to exterior influ
ences as to render it of considerable
value to the analytical chemist. Most
people know that one ol the best and
most delicate testa employed by
chemists to ascertain whether u solu
tion Is ncid or not io to dip into it n
pieco of blue litmus paper, which at
once reddens if the least trace of
acidity exists. lu like manner, the
reddened litmus paper may be em
ployed in searching foi alkalies, for
the paper returns to a blue tint pa
coining in contact with tin so. The
coloring principle of the violet and
iris is found to be more delicate still
than litmus, and, for this reason, we
may [expect soon to see phyllocyanin
? iof so ,thc new color is called?in
troduced into all our laboratories.
Fencing. ? In all sections many
thousand panels of fence ore needless
ly made use of; by having the fields
of auch a shape as to require too
great a proportion to encltwc a given
area. The most economical form is
that, of a .square, and as we leave
this form for an oblong, wc rapidly
increase the amount of fence needed
to enclose a given number of acres.
A square of ten acres will require
two hundred and sixty four panncls
offence to enclose it, while a field of
the same area, but twice as long as
wide, will require three hundred and
thirty1 panels. Borne fence may be
saved by working the fields in pairs,
with the usual rotatiou of corn, oats,
wheat and peas. Two adjacent Hehls
will do without any dividing fenco.
The only time during the rotation
when a fence could be wanted would
be alter the wheat was ofl in the fall,
when the stubble should never bo
pastured anyhow.
Newspapers.
1 am sure that every person will be
willing, as I am, to acknowledge, in
the most ample terms, the informa
tion, the instruc-ion and amusement
derived from the public press.? Lord
Lyndhursl. The newspaper is the
chronicle of civilization, the common
reservoir into which every stream
pours its living waters, and at which
every man may come and drink: it, is
the newspaper which gives to liberty
practical life, its perpetual vigilance,
its unrnlaxing activ ty. The news
paper is a daily and sleepless watch
man, that reports to you every dan
ger which menaces the. institutions of
your country, and its interests at
home and abroad. The newspaper
informs legislation of the public opin
ion, find it informs p'cpplojdjf the acts
_ofilcgisfati"on;-rlHi9 kcc(Wr^f**ny) that
constant sympathy, that good under
standing between people and legisla
tors, which conduces to the mainten
ance of order, and prevents the stern

To Young Ladies.
In marrying make your owti match;
do not marry any man to get rid of
him, or to oblige him, or to save him.
The men who would go to destruc
tion without you, will quite as likely
go with you, and perhaps, drag you
along. Do not marry in haste lest
you rcpont at leisure. Do not marry
for a home and a living, when by tak
ing care of health you can be strong
chough to earn your own living. Do
not place yourself habitually in the
society of any suitor until you have
decided the question of marriage;
human wills are weak, and people
often become bewildered, and do not
know their error until it. is too late,
(let away from their influence, settle
your head, and make up your mind
alone. A promise may be made in a
moment of sympathy, or ever half
delirious eestacy, which must be re
deemed through years ofs'orrov, toil
and pain. Do not rush thoughtlessly,
hastily, into wedded life, contriry to
the counsel of your best friends. Love
can wait; that which cannot wait is
something of a very different char
acter.

The Shadow of an Ass.
The Greeks had a proverb which
ran thus: "To dispute on the shtdow
of an ass." This took rise fro? an
anccdoto which Demosthenes is said
to have related to the Athenian?, to
excite their attention during his de
fence of a criminal, which was hting
hut inattentively listened to. "A
traveler," he said, "once went from
Athens to^^nj^tr^VhViTe^
^/^^ned" to be the time of thfc{0g
days, and at noon. lie was micn
exposed to the unmitigated heat0'
the sun; and not finding so much rr' ft
bush under which to lake shelter,'10
bethought himself to descend fr/m
the ass, ami scat him.vdf under >ts
shadow. The owner of l'?c donkVYi
who nocoiupauicil him, objected to
thisi declaring to him that when ho
let the animal the uao of its shadow
was not included iu the bargain. The
dispute at last grew so warm that it
got to blows, and finally gave rise to
an action at law. After having said
so much, Dcmosthens'continued the
defence of his client; but the auditors,
whose curiosity he had piqued, were
extremely anxious to know how the
judges decided on so singular a cause.
Upon this, the orator " commented
severely on their childish injustice, in
devouring with attention a paltry
story about an ass's shndoft, while
they turned a .deaf ear to a cause in
which the life of n human being was
involved. From that day, when a
man showed a preference for discuss
ing email and contemptible subjects
to great and important ones, he was
said "to dispute on the shadow of an
ass/'-"Ncics\Htpcr J\irayrajih.
Evils of Early Rising.
The attention of medical men in
this great republic, observes Hawk
eye B?rdet to, is called to the injudi
cious and absolutely hateful habit,
much in vogue in the rural districts
and among early risers in the city, of
getting up in the night to eat This
nocturnal meal is faintly disguised
under the name of breakfast, and
tho?'c is no doubt it has much to do
with creating, spreading and sustain
ing the national disease, dyspepsia.
The custom is sometimes visited with
severe judgments, but nothing seems
able to deter its votaries from con
turning its practice. We once took
summer boarding with a man who
used to cat in the night, and roused
up all his household to share the un
natural meal. One night he stirred
us all up at 4:30 o'clock to cut. We
rose and ate. That very day his best
cow immolated herself on a wire
fence, one of his horses bit himself
with a rattlesnake, a reaping machine
ate up his best farm hand, a distant
relative sent bis youngest boy a drum ,
his wife took to writing poetry, and
one of his most popular, talented and
handsome boarders flitted, leaving an
unpaid summer's board bill to re
member him by. The latter circum
stances as indelibly impressed upon
our memory; we often think of it in
connection with the somewhat strik
ing coincidence that we never have
been in that country since.
