What can bo dono with grass lands
this spring to increaso their yield of
products nnd tho consequent profit
arising from them ? Barnyard manure,
unless very fino nnd thoroughly rotted,
should not benppllcd in the spring, nnd
most farmers indeed, cannot afford to
apply their barnyard manuro to grnss
lands. Tho cultivated fields absorb all
of this, duano, If of tho best quality
would greatly benefit meadows and
pastures, If applied early In tho season;
so will plaster, lime, ashes aud salt.
Hnrl nnd muck in many places aro
useful.
Tho application of liquid manure,
wo think, would bo a paying operation.
In many places it can bo cheaply mado,
and the product of meadows might bo
doubled by its timely use. Irrigation
should bo resorted to in nil places where
possible. Water is tho cheapest and
most effective fertilizer ever used on
grns3 lands. Scarifying tho sod will
sometimes greatly Increaso the yield.
A sharp toothed drug will do this if
thoroughly used. Don't neglect tho
grnss lands; improve them by some
means, for grnss is tho most profitable
nnd important product of tho Ameri
can farmer. Rural Kew Yorker
The Foluts or a Good Working Ox.
The head should bo long nnd slender.
Tho short headed ox may start tolerably
quick at tho whip but will soon forget
it. Thooyo should bo sharp but pleas
ant. The black-eyed ox is apt to run
nway. For strength ho should have a
good bosom. For travelling tho legs
should bo straight and tho nuklo small
er than the foot; tho too should bo di
rectly forward. If tho animal too out
the kneo will bend in, and tho leg will
boas much weaker than a straight ono
as a crooked stick is weaker than a

on tho top of it; with such n form tho In

tho long peaked hoof. Let tho back bo
straight from head to tail though from
tho hijjs backwards, if he slope a littlolt
is not much of a fault, but don't let him
rise in that part. For hardihood, tho
round built or round ribbed ox, ono

laps off In going through tho woods
best. Ho should bo trained to tho yoke
quite young. Thrco pairs early put to
work, but not over worked, would do
as much labor as four pairs that aro not
broken until they have nearly attained
their growth.
Rotation of Crop.
Nr.vcrt plant twleesuceessi vely on the
samo ground. Chango your seeds every
year, nnd if possible get them from an
other section of country, put tho ground
in good condition, plant in drills two
nnd a half feet apart, and from twelve
to fifteen inches in th"o row. Cut tho
potatoes two eyes. After tho first plo w
ing glvo them a top-dressing of plaster
and nshes. Cultivate well until they
nro in blossom, then keep nil weeds
pulled out, and a satisfactory crop will
bo tho result. AVork on tho farm when
rightly directed is full of Interest and
produces satisfactory results. Tho farm

this country greatly depends upon tho

History of n Woathoroook.
Thero was once upon n time n hand
some Hen, who lived very comfortably
In a court-yard surrounded by her nu
merous family, among whom thero was
one chicken that was both lnnio nnd
ugly. Now this wns tho ono tho moth
er loved best of nil, for that is tho wny
with mothers.
This crlpplo hnd been hntched from n
tiny llttlo egg. IIo was Indeed no moro
thanahnlf nchlcken,for hohnd onlyonc
eye, ono wing nnd ono clnw ; nnd for
nil that ho gave himself moro nlrs than
his fnther did, who wnsthe handsomest
nnd most bravest nnd most gentleman
ly cock iu nil tho fowl-ynrds for sixty
miles round. This chick thought him
self tho l'lioiilx of his race. If tho oth
er cocks laughed at him, ho thought it
was out of envy ; nnd if tho hens dld,ho
said tiiat it was for nnger because of tho
little attention that ho paid to them.
Ono day ho said to his mother '"Look
hero, Mother. Tho country wearies mo;
I hnvcmadoupiny mind logo to Court.
I want to see tho King nnd Queen."
The poor mother begun to tremble
when she henrd these words.
"My son," she exclaimed "who could
have put such nonsciifo into your head?
Your father 1ms never onco been outside
his domain, aud ho is tho pride of his
race. Why, where would you find such
a court-ynrdasyouhuvohero? Or where
a grander mnnurc-heap? Where would
you find better or moro plentiful rood, n
warmer hen-roost,or a family that loves
you moro dearly?"
"Negro," said Medlo-PolHto in Lnt
In, for lie was set up to bo n great schol-
ar. "My urotners aim my cousins nro
Ignorant clowns."
But my son," continued his mother,
"have you never looked at yourself In
the glass? Havoyou not found out that
you have got ono eye and one clnw less
Minn other people?"
"Nny, if you begin uponthat," replied
Mcdlo-Polllto, "I shall answer that you
ought'to fall down dead for shame nt
seeing mo in such a state. It is your
lault and nobody's else. A hat sort of
an egg did I come out of. pray? Was
it laid by nil old cock ?"
"No, my son," said tho Hen. "for
only basilisks como out of thoso eggs.
You Vero hatched from a very little
egg, out indeed that was no limit oi
mine."
"Perhaps." said Medio-Polllto, his
comb turning as red as scarlet, "per
haps I shall meet with somo surgeon
who will put eon my missing limbs.
iViyhow, my mind is mado up; off I
go."
hen tho poor hen saw that Micro
was no way of turning him from his
purpose, she said,
"At least, my son, hearken to tho
prudent counsel of a loving mother.
Tako care not to pass by any churches
whero Micro is n statue of St. Peter, for
that saint is not at all fond of cocks, and
sti 11 less of their crow. Avoid also eer
tain men whom thero aro in tho world
called cooks; for they nro our mortal
enemies, and will wring your neck as
soon as look at you. And now, my son
St Raphael, tho patron of travelers, be
your guide. Go and ask your father's
blessing."
Medio-J'olllto approached tho vencr-
ablo author of his existence, and stoop
ing toklsshlscluw, begged his blessing
The worthy old cock gave it to him witli
moro dignity than affection, for ho was
by no means fond of him on account of
his peevish temper. But his mother
was so much moved, that showns oblig
ed to wipo away her tears with a with
ered leaf.
Tho Mcdlo-PollIto began his march,
clapping his wing nnd "crowing three
times as a signal of departure.
As ho arrived nttho banksof a stream
that was almost dried up for it was
summer, it so happend that tho slen
der thread of water was hindered from
flowing by a few branches that had fallen
across its bed. On seeing tho traveler,
tho Stream said,
"Thou seest, friend I can scarcely
movo n step, and I havo lib strength
to push asldo theso branches that block
up my way. Neither can I make a
round to avoid theni,forit wouldentlro
ly exhaust me. Thou couldst easily get
mooutofthis difficulty by parting the
branches with thy beak. In return,
thou mayest not only quench thy thirst
In my current,but reckon, on my servl
ccs as soon as tho rains of heaven shall
havo restored my strength."
Tho Chicken replied,
"I could, but I daa not choose. Do
you think I look llko thoservnntof dir
ty llttlo streams?"
"Thou wilt remember mo when least
thou thinkest," murmured Mm Stream
In a fainting volco.
"It's very fino for you to boast I" re-
turned Medio-Pollito, mockingly.
"Why, ono would think you had just
drawn aprlzo Intlvo lottery, or could bo
euro of help from tho waters Deluge."
A llttlo farther on ho met tho Wind,
lying faint and helpless on tho eroiiml.
"Dear Medlo-Polllto , ho said, "In this
worm wo an nave need of ono another.
uomo near and look on mo. Soest thou
what thoheatofsuminerhaadono tome"
tome, so strong, somighty? to me, who
rniso mo waves, wno joy wnsto tho
fields, whoso power nonocon withstand?
This midsummer, day has killed mo,
I fell asleep, intoxicated by thoperfumo
of tho flowers with which I wasplaying.
and hero thou t,cest mo swooning. If
thou wouldst but ralso mo two Inches
from tho ground with thy beak and fan
mo with thy wing, that would ennblo
mo to tako flight to my cavern, whero
my mother and sisters, tho Storms, aro
busy mending up n few old clouds that
I havo torn. Thero thoy will give mo
saino refreshing draughts, and I Hindi re
cover my strength."
"Sir Wind," replied tho ill-natured
Chlcken'many atlmohavoyou amused
yourself at my expense, pulling at mo
from behind and blowing upon my 'tall
like a fun, so that nil who taw It might
laugh nt mo. No, no, my friend ; every
dog lias his day, so good nftemoon to
you, Mr. Joker." With this ho crowed
thrco times with n loud volco nnd strut
ted proudly nwny.
In tho middle of n stubblo-flcld to
which tho lnborors hnd set lire, Micro
roso up n slender column of smoke.
Medio-Polllto drew ncarnnd saw a tiny
llnmofllckcrlngfromtlmototlmeiimong
tho lushes.
"Dcar-Mcdlo-Polllto," said tho llttlo
Flame, thou nrt como In tho very nick
of tinio to save my life. I nm nt my Inst
gnsp for wnnt of fuel. I cunnot think
whnt is become of my cousin tho ind,
for it is ho who ntwnys helps mo
out of my troubles. To bring mo ono
or two llttlo straws to rovlvo me."
"What business Is It of mine. I should
llko to know?" replied Medio-Polllto.
'You may go out If you like, nnd wel
come. I don't wnnt you."
".Who knows but you
may want
tho Flame,
shall bo no
me somo day ?" answered
No ono can say, 'There
harm happen unto me.' "
"Now, then," said the cross creature,
must you alwny's bo preaching ? Tako
that then 1"
iVnd so saying, ho covered him with
nshes ; after which ho begun to crow, ns
usual, as though he had done some
great deed. .
Medio-Polllto nt last reached tho cap
ital, and pnssedln front of u church which
they told him was St. Peter's. There
upon ho posted himself in tho doorway
nnd crowed until ho nearly cracked his
voice, for nothing In tho world but to
annoy tho Saint, and to havo tho pleas
ure of disobeying Ids mother.
When he came Into tho Palaco ho
wanted to seo tho King nnd Queen, but
thcscntinels culled out to him, "Keep
off?"
Thereupon ho turned nsido nnd went
through n back-door into a largo room
whero ho saw n great ninny people pass
ing to nnd fro. He nsked who they
were, nnd was informed that tiioy
wero his Majesty's cooks. Instead of
running nwny, ns his mother hnd nd
vlsed him to do, in ho marched with
head and crest erect.
Immediately ono of tho scullions laid
hands on him,. and wrung his neck in a
twinkling.
"Hullo thero 1" said he, "bring mo
somo hot water that I may pluck this
fowl."
"Wnter, my beautiful crystal lady 1"
cried Medio-Polllto, "do not scald mo,
I entreat you. Havo pity on mo!" .
"Hadstthou nny pity on mo, when I
asked thy help, Ill-natured bird?" re
plied tho Water boiling with indigna
tion, and splashing him from iicad to
foot, while tho scullions soon left him
without n singlo feather to cover him.
Then tho cook laid hold of him aud
put him on the spit.
"Fire, brilliant Fire 1" cried tho un
happy bird, "thou who art so powerful
and so glorious, havo pity on my state,
draw in thy flames nnd burn me not!"
"Wretch!" replied tho Fire, "how
darcst thou appeal to mo, after having
attempted to smother mo on tho pretext
that thou couldst never need my help?
Como near and sco what I can do 1"
And, not content with browning him,
ho burnt him black as cinder.
When the cook saw him in this state,
ho took him by tho leg and flung him
out of tho window.
Immediately tho Wind caught hold
of him.
"Wind!" cried cried Medio-Pollito,
"my dear and much-honored Wind!
thou who reiguest over nil and obeyest
none, inightientamongthomighty, havo
compassion on me, and leavo mo
alono on this rubbish heap 1"
"Leave theo!" roared tho Wind
snatching him away In nn eddy nnd
whirling him through the nir llko a
shuttlecock, "No, never as long as I
live 1"
IIo set Mcdio-Pollito down on tfio top
of n steeple. St. Peter stretched out
his hand and fastened him there. From
that timo forth ho occupies this post,
blackened, flattened and featherless,
Inshcd by the Bain, puffed at by tho
Wind, from whom ho is always trying
to protect his tail.
Ho is no longer called Medio-Polllto,
but Weathercock. But bo it known to
you nil, Mint thero hosdlllis rcnplng the
just reward ior ins disoueuicnce, ms
