Pasturing Meadows.— An old farmer writing to the 

 Boston Cultivator gives several facts from his experience 

 going to show that newly-seeded clover does best when 

 pastured down in the fall, and that "old fog" meadows 

 never produce as valuable hay as they would if fed down 

 moderately in autumn. The grass ought to start close to 

 the ground, and not from the stalks left by the scythe, as 

 in that case the sprouts do not get sap enough to sup- 

 port them, and give that quick growth that is required 

 for good hay. He adds, also, that he never knew good 

 ooru to grow on land that had been mowed several years, 

 and the hay carried off, and the old fog left on the land 

 unfed. 



At the recent sale and letting of J. C. Taylor's cele- 

 brated South Downs at Holmdel, N. J., 10 shearing rams 

 sold for $523 ; 11 ewes for $479.50 ; 10 ram lambs for $201, 

 and 14 ewe lambs for $386. This is an average of $35 

 per head for sheep and lambs. For such magnificent 

 sheep these are very lotv prices. Five rams were rented 

 for the season for $305, or an average of $61 each.
