ring damp, warm weather, decomposi-
ton takes place Immediately, which aids
the growth Of the new grass. The ground
plowed under such circumstances, will
probably retain water enough to support
the young crop. The moisture will also
promote the action of any manure which
may be applied as a dressing for the
grass. Whatever fertilizing matter is
used, it should be in such a condition
that it can be readily incorporated with
the soil on the inverted burrows as it will
thus afford much more benefit to the
grass-giving it a strength of root which
will enable it to withstand the winter,
and insuring its early and vigorous
growth the following season.
AS to the time of seeding, perhaps
from the first to the middle of Septem-
Der, as a general rule may be preferable,
but we should not hesitate to SOW few
days earlier, according to convenience.
Herdsgrass { Phlcum lrontense) and
red-top (Agrotsis) are the kinds of grass
usually sown in autumn. Red clover
will do well on land which is so dry that
the roots are not liable to be thrown out
by frost. Twelve quarts of clean red
top are not too much to SOW to the acre,
without other seed. The large red-top,
which is considerably later in ripening
than the red-top, or fne-top" is prefer
able, if a considerable bulk of the hay
is to be herdsgrass, as the two are in "A
proper state for cutting nearly at the
same time"

WATERING CATTLE.

Being under the necessity of going out
in this driving storm of snow to see that
my cattle are watered at the neighboring
brooks, has impressed upon my mind the
loss am suffering by not having pro-
vided water for them in their stalls or in
the barnyard adjoining This same brook
runs within two hundred feet of the barn,
where, at an expense not exceeding $50,
machinery could be placed, that by the
power of the water itself, would yield a
constant supply of pure water for as many
cattle as the barn will ACCOMMODATES. -
That this is so, | know, because on my
neighbours farm, where he keeps con-
stantly fifty or more COWS, and as many
oxen, horses, and other animals, as are
needed on large farm, for the last five
years, he has obtained all the water they
needed, both winter and summer, from
small pond in his pasture distant 2, 500
feet, forced through lead pipe, by a
fall of only Ii feet head-thc original
cost Of preparation did not exceed $500.
Here, then, at an expense not exceeding
$40 year, is obtained a convenience
that is equivalent to services of one man
and an additional benefit more than double
this saving. Think also Of tie saving
made, in the droppings of the animals
one-half of which would be lost by theil
roaming abroad, and irretrievably lost
when dropped in and foated away with
the stream. This is no fancy picture
instances of this kind may be seen in ev.
cry farming village; aye, more, we have
known farmers who have boosted of theii
convenience of watering their cattle a
the brooks or neighboring ponds, as thei
fathers for a hundred gears had done be
fore them. 1t is perfectly easy to de
monstrate, that tho loss sustained in fer
tilizers, by this careless usage, in thi
period, at a moderate valuation, woul,
exceed the present value of the farm, a
high valuation. So much for needless
ly going on in the steps of those who
have been before us, without regard t,
consequences ~
REMARKS. The above communication
is an exceedingly valuable one. 1t i
the notice of such practical everyday
wants of the farmer, that gives an agri
cultural paper much ofits value. Water
arrangements are generally expensive
we are aware, but that should not deter
one from making beginning We know
good farmer-one of the best-who
pumped water forty years, for forty head
of cattle per day. Now this would re.
quire at least minute for each animal
twice day, making eighty minutes, ant
of very hard work, too. At length aftei
wearing out some dozen pumps, and pref.
ty nearly wearing out himself, he dug
a we'll in the side of a hill twenty-ont
hundred feet from his barn, put in
half-inch gutta percha pipe, and for sew
eral years past has had the felicity o
seeing the water run down the hill b,
its own gravity, and filling his ampll
troughs to overlooking, where the cattl
may Stake their thirst at will. 1t also
serves many other purposes, and all ac
eomplished at a cost of $150.-N. Z
