dressing too long. If cloyeris allow
ed to seed, and it is then cut, the
roots die and there can be no further
crop from them. If the clover is cut
while in blossom, there viii be a sec
ond crop the same year, and perhaps
two crops the succeeding year, if the
land is rich. Red stop and herds
grass will continue longer than clo-
yer, but the roots of both these grad
ually die out, Or yield to stronger
grasses, until the whole crop is chang
ed from the sweet and nutritious
grasses just named, to the wiry "June
grass" weeds, or some other plants
of little value. All this comes from
not top-dressing in season. If this
were done, even though but slightly,
after the first crop is cut, and after
wards each year, the roots of the
grasses sowed would be kept in
vigorous condition, and our moving
fields would not "run out as they do
now. Under such a practice, moist
ana natural y good lands would yield
a tun or tun and half Of hay per
acre for eight or ten yearsin success
ion with more certainty than they now
yield two thirds that amount.
A neglect of this important item Of
farm work brings a train Of losses
that should be avoided. In the first
place, the farmer, feeling that he can
not afford to plow SO often, allows the
field to remain in grass for several
years, when he gets but scanty
crop, not half, perhaps, what the land
is capable Of producing under skillfnl
cultivation. The next expense incur
red is that Of plowing and preparing
the soil, and the cost Of seed to stock
it again. These are all expensive,
and if their frequency could be less
ened one-half or one-third, the saw
ing would amount to a handsome sum
in twenty years practice.-Ne2g

Top-Dressing Grass Lands.

1t is the practice of many farmers
to top-dress their grass lands with
composted manure as soon as they
conveniently can after getting off the
hay crop. 1t is good practice. The
manure protects theroots little from
the rays of the sun, and the first
shower washes some of its nutritious
properties into the soiland about the
roots of the grass, so that they are
stimulated to throw out new sets of
leaves, which afford astill further pro-
lection, both to plants and the ma
nure. The surface is also sufficiently
hard in summer to allow the teams to
pass over it without cutting ruts, or
being poached by the feet of the ami
mails drawing the load.
We refer to this matter at this par
ticular time in order to suggest to
those who have grass lands newly
laid down-that is, that have been
moved only one or two years-not to
postpone the application of some sort
of dressing, if they desire to contin-
ue cutting remunerative crop for
several years The mistake madeby
most farmers is in postponing the top

Ripening Fruits,

In a recent number of the Gar
deRers' Chronicle, the Rev, M. j.
Berkeley well remarks that it is curl
GUS how little has been done by phys
iologists with respect to the changes
which take place in fruit, after it has
arrived at that degree Of maturity
when it either separates naturally
from the stalk, or when it has arrived
at such a state as makes it necessary
for the horticulturist to secure his
crop. The changes which take place
in growing fruit have been to some
extent investigated, but the changes
which take place after the fruit is
gathered are enveloped in obscurity.
NJ. Cahours has shown that ripe APP
Piles absorb oxygen and give out car
bonic acid, and the higher the tenn
perature Of the room the more car
bonic acid is enyolved. He further
shows that Gin fruit like Services and
Medlars, where the process Of blet-
ting takes place, and without which
the fruit is not catable, it is only af-
ter vitality has ceased that the requi-
site chemical changes for economical
purpose takes place, changes which
are sometimes promoted, or at least
attempted to be promoted, by sprink-
ling the fruit with some fcrmented liq-
uor. Air then enters the cells and
acts first Of all upon the sugar, caus-
ing alcoholic fermentation of alcohol,
which is in its turn acted upon by the
acids of the fruit, thus forming a
true ether, which produces the aroma
of the fruit The air then attacks
the cell itself, which becomes colored
yellow by the azotised membranes
of which it is formed. ,"
1t would be great boon to horti-
culturists if some good chemist and
