A pasture close to the farm buildings is a great convenience, and will nave much valuable time during the busy season. The work horses may be turned into such a pasture in the evening after they have eaten their ration of hay and grain. It is an easy raattur to bring the horses in again in the morning for their feed, before it is time for work. The cows may go to the back feeding ground for the day, and into the front pasture to pass the night. Boj-s who are tired from hard work through the day, appreciate the convenience of a pasture close by the milking ground. The cows are more contented if kept near the barns at nieht. The gates aud other entrances to this night pasture should be arranged to save a'l possible steps, both from the horse stable aud the milking yard. Some may object to having horses andci»ws in thesame fiield, but the writer has concluded, after several years' experience, that there is no danger with any ordinary animal^. Young stock of all kinds will be safer if kept from thaold in a separate pasture. This convenient night pasture should be permanent, and furnish good feeding to the horses find cows throughout the whole season. It therefore needs to be kept in good heart. If naturally rich, the droppings from the animals will keep up the fertility for several ^ears. A man with a manure pick or ballet, should go over the pasture each spring, and loosen fl nd scatter the droppings. The ujallet ouiiaists of a block of wood a fuot long, square at one end and pointed at the other, into which a stout liandle is fastened near the middle. A top-dressing of well rotted manure should be giyen every two or tnree years, or still better, a light dreFsing each winter. A hundred 2iounds of nitrate of soda ier acre in early spring, aids greatly in giving a vigorous stwt to the young grass. If coarse weeds appear, they should be rooted out before they beocme Uioroagh- ly established or ripen any seed. A fiowmg spring in a central locationr is oi great value in any pasture, tjui â- especii^y here where eowa otay ^Eink after being milked; aud again early in the morning.

EwCTyrii«, The special seirvlces in the Metho- dist Church, Owen Sound, have been very sucoessirnl during the past month. Over 70 new members have been received on trial making in all for the conference year received nearly 200, or sufficient to double the entire membership of the church. Services are suspended for this week, but will be resumed next week. â€" 0. S. â- idver- User. Stabbing Affbay. â€" On Tuesday evening of last week as a young man named John Spencer, with some others, was going along the street, they met a colored man named John Courtney, who made an unprovoked assault on Spencer, plunging a knife into his arm with such force that it went through the arm and came out the other side. It i» needless to say that drink had something to do with the assault. Courtney was brought before the Police Magistrate, and as will be seen by the Court news, was sent for nine months to the Central Prison. â€" S. Timet. Fire. â€" Between nine and ten this forenoon there was great excitement for a short time on it being discover- ed that the scbr. Lady Macdnnald, lying in the river, was on fire, and t'le general rush of our citizens for tiie docKR made a lively scene. The fire originated from some pitch which was being melted on board, boiling over, bnt fortunately it was exting- uished before any great damage was done. Had the fire gained headway, a number of other vessels in the river, as well as the new elevator, woull have been in imminent danger^ â€" O. S. limes. Sad Mishap. â€" On Tuesday last two children of Mi. Uriah Curtis, a boy and a little girl, aged five years, were playing in the bush on their father's farm on tiie townliue of Bentinck and Brant The little fellow {,ot hi.^ sister to hold a stick on a log while he chopped a piece off with an axe, but in the operation he chopped a piece oil one of his sister's fingers, and the next one was chopped through the bone. The little girl was brought to Dr. Landerkin, in Hanover, where both fingers were dressed, although ft portion' (»f each had to be cut off. The little sufferer bore the operation bravely â€" Grey Revieic. The two-cent postal rate adopted in the United States seems to be work- ing with satisfactory results. While the number of postal cards taking out has considerably decreased the number of letters has increased^ The loss to the revenue by the reduction of the postage rate from three cents to two will be small. It is to h°i hoped that Canadian postal authorities at Ottawa will soon follow the example of their American contemporaries. It is an anomaly that letter i from the States are to be carried at the two- cent rate to any office in Canada, whereas Canadian letters require a three- cent stamp. A great many people get very angry at the newspapers sometimes, and it is curious to note the different ways they take to vejit their wratn. One man writes, "stop my paper," aud lays down his pen. thinking he has suffi:ifntly punished the editor for the offending article. Another buys a clnb or a pistol, invades the editor's sanctum and gets kicked down stairs for his trouble. S/me tell evoiy one they meet tliat the paper is in financial difficulties and is bound to suspend publication very soon. They are much surprised tt^en it goes rigjir on extending its circulation and in- croasing its advertising patronage.. When hatred of a newspa^ter is ex- pressed in any of these ways, the editors can afiE^rd to smile, but when the standing forms of tjtpe are knocked into pi, the e«ses emptied in a heap on the floor, and things generally badly broken up, as Itappencl in the office of the Stratford IVmothe ciifae^ day. it rs ti|ne for tne townspeople to ;i|aeetKas they ditV and Mb^ribe mosey Iw. the eapinre of tbeoritainal MxA tfa»«idioaHag o£ i|toffibe^lCnr«; wn* XJ.
