HUNGARIAN GRASS.

Editors Northwestern Farmer In
a late number of the Farmer l lind
quotation on the Hungarian grass, ia
ken from the Patent Office report.
Now, l dissent wholly from the state
ment made there as to the origin OF
the Hungarian Grass. This crop the
writer states was first grown in the
township of Mantua in this county:
But this person who raised the seed
firstly, procured a very small quanti
ty of seed from one of the Hungarian
exiles who came to the far West
some five years ago. Whatever be-
came of the Hungarian or the balance
Of his grass seed, no one knows but
he had a small bag which he carried
in his pocket, from which he took the
seed and appeared to be very choice
of It. Now, it must be borne in mind
that the cmigrants who came to
the United States at that time, came
direct from Turkey, not daring to re-
turn to Hungary, since Its downfall.
This leads mo to the conclusion that
the Hungarian grass seed came from
Turkey. The fact strengthening this
conclusion is, that none of the Ger
man or Hungarian residents in our
section of country know any thing
about it, or ever saw any thing like
it in their native countries.
Since that article was written we
have raised two more crops of the
grass. and have had more experience
with it. We find it out yields his
statements by considerable the ave-
rage crops Of our county being -four
to six tons per acre, while the premi'
UNI crop of the county was eight tons
and thirty-five pounds. The hay is OF
superior quality and the seed is very
nutritious. consider the seed quite
as nutritious as ordinary wheat. II
will weigh when fully ripe from fit.
to sixty pounds per bushci, and has
very thin bran, while the grass j
greatly relishcd by cattle, horses an
sheep. -. 3.
It should be understood that this il
not a spring crop, but should be sow
late. after the weather and soil become
warm. The ground should be clear
and not plowed till the weeds have
sproutcd. Harrow before and aftel
sowing. should sow the seed any
time previous to the 18th July. I'M
time to cut the grass is when TN
blades begin to turn yellow and tn
seed is nearly ripe. This makes goo'
hay and good seed. The seed is yer.
rich and horses should not be fed to
freely with it. The grass is Of quic
growth and requires but short sc;
son, say fifty or sixty days to matur
in.--I regard it as one OF the creates
acquisitions to agricultural wealth
and earnestly recommend all person
who have an acre of oats to raise, t
substitute the Hungarian grass, a
one acre of the grass is worth as mucl
as an acre of oats and an acre

STRIPED BUG.

The dcpredations Of this little gor-
mandizer are principally confined to
the young plants of the melon, cucum-
Der and squash, and they often appear
in such numbers and determination as
to battle the skill of the gardener in
defending his plants from their greedy
attacks. A multitude Of plans have
been recommended from time to time
for checking the ravages Of this in
sect-such as spirits of turpentine,
gas, tar, contton batting, ashes, black
pepper, hen manure, onions, tomatoes,
snuff, &c. But among all the rene
dies here named, and score or two
more, no one has been found so effcc-
tual as small open enclosure around
the plants, about six or eight inches
high. For this purpose, boxes cover
ed with millinet or glass, have been
used, but they in a measure exclude
the light and air, giving the plants
a feeble and unhealthy growth. Ex-
perience has proved, however, that
covering is not necessary, as the bug,
when on the wing, flies in a straight
course from one plant or object to
another, and if the plants are not
above the top Of the box, the bug is
not likely to strike Or descend upon
them in his course.
These boxes may be made of bricks,
boards, cotton cloth, old pieces of oil
Or floor cloth, or, in some cases, strong
paper. We would recommend as the
best material, and in the long run the
most economical, the oil cloth. 1t
can be made by any one at little ex-
pensc. Take piece of coarse tow
cloth, stretch and nail it on the South
side OF a building with brush work
the pores full Of -four paste when
dry, put on coat Of oil and Spanish
brown or some other cheap paint hav-
ing good body when dry, turn the
cloth and apply the same to the other
side. In few days it will be ready
for use and will last many years il
taken care Of Cut the cloth into
strips about six inches wide, and into
lengths according to the size Of tn,
enclosure wished /; fasten the tw,
ends with small tacks or otherwise t,
stake. The hoop thus formed i
then placed around the plants and tn
stake driven into the ground to keel
1t in place. Plain cotton, or any 9th
or cloth may be used by stretching i
around and fastening it to four OF
more stakes. Strong paper will an
swer very good purpose in dry
weather The enclosure should be
tightly banked up an inch or two on
both sides, to keep the bugs from bur.
