SEEDING Conn LAND TO GRASS
One of the real progressive farmers OF
.lllinois--sone who docs not fear such
truth as SOlon Robinson told the farm
els in bis address at tilartlrrd"--wfitcs
of lis success with a piece Of surface
drained swmp.land, which was tco
wet toplow in the srfing, in seeding il
with grass among Germ in the fall. fle
says;
Last year, while thinking the mat,
ter over, and wondering whether it
would not do to SOW grass seed among
the corn, an article appeared in the
.Daiy Tribune recommending it,
This decided the matter, aud the men
were set to work about the middle Of
August. or a little before, with garden
rakes to smooth the rough places, and
prepare the ground for seed, We
then sowod liber.IIy with timothy
When the proper time came we cut
the corn up ut the ground, as usual.
In the spring We rolled the ground
while rather soft, and have seldom
had fields lcit in smoother and better
condition for the mowing-machine.-
The seed took remarkably well, and
produced this year Il fine crop Of eX.
colIent hay. That editorial was worth
the cost Of the DH'y Tribune for five
Yeas. Thinking that others may pos
8iJly profit by this experiment, | ven

MANUREs.-It IS stated in Faux.
ner's Farmers Manual, m English
publication on manures, that coal ash
es contain a suiphatc Of lime with
some potash md soda, all OF
which are known, VIXEN sepa-
rately applied, to ploduoo a good
effect on clover crops, and to consti-
tute ar important part OF the food Of
all grasses.
The following experiment by an
English farmer may shed some light
on the subject: The ground selected
contained three perches OF clover; the
first had 10 manure, and produced
thirty eight pounds when cut in full
head; the second, where four quarts of
Goa! ashes which had not been expos
ed to the weather, were applied, the
produce was fifty pounds; ON the th;rd
perch, one quart oi plaster was sOwn,
and the crop weighed fifty four pounds.
1t will be seen that the ashes lncreas.
ed the clover nearly one-quarter above
that on which no manure was applied
which goes to prove that this sub
stance is a valuable fertilizer.
