Timothy and Clover on the PFal
Pi0S.

H. Starkey asserts, in the Rockford
Register, that: First-Our prairie soil is
less adapted to the growing of timothy
grass than any other crop he has ever
tried to raise on it. Second-Our cli-
mate Is less adapted TO the growth of
timothy, because of the severe drouths
of our summers.
Third-Timothy does not improve the
land
Fourth Timothy sod is undoubtedly
the home Of the grubworm.
He would substitute clover. Il Yields
well on the prairies and is highly bene-
fetal to the soil, and if cut in full bloom,
cured neither too little or too much with
out being wet with dew or rain, it is less
dusty than timothy cut and cured as you
viii. He knows Of no well cured hay
that viii couil OF Of lhe now SO dusty
as prairie tnloshY bay When bis hors-
es and cattle have plenty Of good bright
clover hay he is perfectly satisfied with
their condition. The greatest objection
to it in this country is that it does not
keep as well in the stack as timothy
does not pack so close.
He prefers to seed with wheat rather
than with oats, and fall blowing to spring
blowing, as we are liable to get the seed
too deep on spring plowlng. He never
harrows in grass seed--sow it after har-
rowing the grain one way, then takes a
straight rail ten or twelve feet long, and
bores a dozen holes in it, and wedges in
as many saplings; with this, crosses the
the narrowing, and thus covers the seed.
He cuts his grass, if not when IN full
bloom, before one half is out. 1t will not
cure enough to get in in one day, and 1t
should be cooked. Recommends farmers
to get cotton caps for covering hay cocks.
So do we, and they Will be useful in har-
vest on the grain. If he has any doubt
about his hay being sufficiently cured, he
puts about four quarts Of salt on load
as it is moved away.-Prarie Farmer.

[Frora De CountrI aentIeman.l
Culture OF Rhnharh.

This plant is found in all American
gardens, but TOO often it occupies place
in some neglected corner, receiving little
or no care, and therefore producing no
thing but dry and favorless stalks, while
complaint is always being made about it
"doing no better" The fact is, rhu-
barb wants good care, and nothing grown
in the kitchen garden will repay con-
siderable outlay of attention and extra
culture.
Rhubarb may be grown from the seed,
by those who like to employ themselves
by raising varieties, and have patience
to wait for the produce, for it viii be at
least three years before it will be suita-
bic for use. The best way, however, is
to procure the roots, cut them into as ma
nv pieces as the crown separates into
heads, and plant them into rows two feet
apart each way.
The soil best suited for successful cul-
tivation should be deep and rich, and it
comes forward much earlier If it is dry,
light, and porous. Before the plants are
sci out, the soil should be well manured,
and worked deep with plow, say to the
depth of eighteen inches. Keep the
ground free from weeds, by stirring fire.
0uently with a manure fork during the
summer. Well rotted manure should be
applied to the roots in the spring and fall,
having it well Incorporated with the soil.
OF varieties, Downing's Colossal and
Cahoon's Seeding are the most noted
American sorts. The Lineaus, Victoria
and Giant are good English kinds, and
may be procured Of any nurserymen in
the country.
IF these varieties cannot be obtained,
much may be done to improve the most
inferior and worthless kinds found in the
country gardens. Take them from the
forsaken corner, which has become filled
with grass; supply abundantly with ma
nure, have the soil fine and deep, and, if
possible, a good exposure to the sun. A
great difference in the quality and yield
will be the result.

Honey Locust.

A farmer in Perry county, Illinois
says: About twelve years ago I set a hall
a mile with honey locust plants, eight OF
ten inches apart. / cut of the tops ey-
ry year-the first year near the ground,
the next, eighteen inches high, and thus
on until the hedge was three feet high.
At four years old it was a good fence
against cattle and horses, rather open at
the bottom for small stock, such as hogs
or sheep. It has not been trimmed for
the last two years, and | have had it cut
down at the ground this Spring. / think
l can make it grow close enough at the
bottom by trimming it little closer
The old tops which we have cut off, will
make good fence until it grows again
from the roots. l believe the honey To-
Gust viii answer a very good purpose for
hedging on our prairies."

Tie PennsHIEania OlI Springg.

The continued yield of these springs
and veins is creating much excitement in
their vicinity and elsewhere, being calcu-
lated, as they are, to render that region
of the country one of the richest in the
Union. One gentleman at Union, Pa,
recently commenced boring, and at the
deph of So feet struck vein, which Is
yielding him twelve barrels of oil per
day. Others, from a greater depth, are
securing 80 barrels per diem. 1t now
becomes a question as to what the effect
of these discoveries will be upon whale
