SEDGE GRASS AS A FERTILIZER

SEDGE GRASS AS A FERTILIZER.
We find the following communication
in the RurdL CdrOIjnian. We may re-
mark by way of introduction, that many
farmers in Tennessee are pretty well sup
piled with this fertilizer, and they should
avail Themselves of lis benefits, as sug-
gested by Mr.. Hanna. He says:
l have been so much entertained in the
numerous and valuable articles in you
paper that / had forgotten that could
contribute anything to interest its numer.
GUS readers.
l wish to call the attention of oul
Southern farmers to a thing so common
that it is entirely Overlooked-Sadge
grass.
In 1866, had freedman to turn under
couple of acres of Sedgc grass, aftel
sowing twenty bushels of lime to the acre
This remained in that condition until two
crops of hog WEEDS had matured upon it,
and when the third crop of weeds ant
grass had matured, l again turned then
uIder as deep as three horses could draw
large plow. The field remained thus
until the following spring; no ANNA
being allowed to run on it all this time
1t was then planted in corn, and made, a,
nearly as could estimate it, about thirty
five bushels to the acre, though it had no
made ten previous to its being turned
out in Sedge. This viii show to many
that Sedge grass can be made a usefu
agent agent in restoring our exhausted
lands, now regarded as worthless.

found SO great advantage from the use of
the roller, that we should not know how
to dispense with 1t. If a man has capital
let him by all means get the best pattern,
with cast-iron cylinders. If not, be can
make wooden roller that will do good
work and last many years, with very little
outlay of money. From a large tree,
three feet through at the butt, cut off q
section of eight feet, make it as near cy-
lindrical in shape as possible, drive in two
largo iron pins exactly in the center, hang
it in frame and put on a pole for the
team. A roller made of hewn stone is
still better, for it is heavier and more dur
able. Get a roller if you have to maker
it with your own hands.--Anaericon

FARM AND GARDEN.
THE USE OF LIME IN WHEAT

THE USE OF LIME IN WHEAT.
At recent meeting of the st. Louis
Farmers Club, Alex. Porter expressed the
opinion that the use of lime in growing
wheat should be encouraged, but that its
application TO be useful depended some
what upon the character of the soil. If
it be in a flinty region, where there is
comparatively little lime, or in a mineral
or elevated region of the country, where
the soil is mixed with sand, he thought
that the sowing of lime would be bene
fetal. Three to five bushels TO the acre
would be proper amount. He thought
also that a mixture of plaster OF Paris,
say one bushel, would be valuable.

get thoroughly poor while young, they
never, however well fed thereafter, fully
recover. Our most successful and mosi
fnoney-making feeders, continue to feed
literally from younglings to maturity. Il
viii make pig as heavy at ten months
old as he would become, under ordinary
feeding, in eighteen, and the full fed steer
viii be as heavy st three years, as the
lighter fed one viii be at five.
1t takes q certain amount of waste to
supply the animal economy, and the
waste is in proportion to the length of
life. 1t costs just twice as much to pro-
long this waite two years as it does one,
and more goes to waste in cold weather
than in warm, hence the economy of pro-
viding warm shelter and plenty of food.
Animals SO provided viii be sleek and
healthy, while the others viii be gaunt
and shivering, and their coats staring.
Stablemen understand the economy of
keeping fine horses warmly clothed in
winter. 1t is only another name for pre-
venting waste. Too many ordinary far
mers fail to see it. Try sheltering your
stock one winter and see how you and
they like if. A merciful man is merciful
to his beast.

INSECT RAvAGES on TREES.

The State Entomologist of Missouri,
says the washing of fruit trees with soap,
or the application of any alkaline solu-
ton, is an infallible preventive of the
borer. There are two kinds of borers,
but the ravages of both are effectuany
prevented by the use Of soap on the
trunks of trees. He recommends the
sOaping of the trees in the spring. He
says it is the custom of extensive fruit
growers to get a bar of new yellow soap
and rub it over the trunks and branches
of the trees as far as he can reach. He
also recommends the pouring of boiling
water around the roots of trees to kill the
borer that depredates upon the roots. Mr..
Sigerson stated to the St. Louis Farmers
Club that he was acquainted with the ma
ture of the borer, and with the general
subject of the management of fruit trees
under different conditions. When one
part Of the nursery was washed with
alksli and the other not, the difference of
the trees was very marked. Those that
had been washed had clean bark and
weremore healthy in appearance thsn those
which were not. The application of soap
suds would perhaps be beneficial if il
took place two or three times during the
season. These are suggestions by which
our fruit growers should profit.

An act TO amend the act of 1870, Oh. 70, for the
sale of the interest of the State in delinquent
railroad com panieS, passed July !, 1870.
Whereas, In the recent attempt to sell
the States interest 10 said roads, various
legal questions arose, presenting serious
obstacles to q sale, under the Act of 1870,
which it is deemed expsdient and necesse-
~ to obviste, before the interest of the
State in said roads shall be again offered
for sale. And
Whereas. By the Act of 1852, Oh. Isl,
sec. u, the right is expressly reserved to
the State TO enact all such laws, IN the fu-
ture, as should be deemed necessary TO
protect the interest of the State, and to
secure the State against any loss, In con-
sequence of the issuance of bonds under
| tho provisions of said act, in such manner
AS not to impair the vested rights of stock
holders Of the companies. Therefore
/ Be it enacted, etc, That bill shall
be Immediately filed in the Chancery Court
| at Nashville, IN the name and in behalf Of
| the State, to which ell the delinquent
companies, the respective stockholders,
holders of the bonds, creditors, and all
| persons interested in said several roads,
shall be made parties defendants, and shall
| be brought before the Court in the mode
! prescribed by the rules and practice in

as otherwise herein provided. And said

law or Of fact that have arisen, or that
may arise, touching the rights and interest

what a BOstOnian Thinks.

The Adams IN y Visitor speaks OF an emf
nent BOstOnian who regarded an advertise
ment in a newspaper as personal invitation
to call, and said: "While sometimes hesitate
about entering a store the proprietOrs OF which
have not thus sent their cards TO my residence,
| always feel certain Of a cordial welcome
from tine members of en- advertising firm
The same paper adds: There is in this re-
mark an assurance Of one of the many results
of advertising. The trader and his calling be-
come identified, and the name Of the man is in
separately connected in the mind of the public
with his merchandise. 1t may not be the very
day an advertisement appears that it bears its
fruit; weeks or months may elaPse, and then,
when the want arises, the article to be OBJ
tanned Immediately suggests the advertiser.
This is the effect of general advertising when
persistently followed. A special class Of ad-
vertiSements, where some novelty Is announced
is more immediate. shTewd business man
once advertised a trifinS article in a manner
which could scarcely prove remunerattve. ms
neighbOrs expressed their regret at his folly
but he appeared cOntented Though his gross
sales of the article did not cover the cost of his
advertising, he attracted a new class Of people
to his store, and his ShreWdness paid him in q
very short time, for new eyes saw what he bad

and new purses came under contribution 10

sHELTERING STOCK I'm WINTER

We provide ourselves with comfortable
clothing in winter 10 ward off the effects
of cold. We eat fat meats for the same
reason. The more Northern and colder
the climate the more of fatty substances
are consumed. The Esquimaux drink
train oil. These substances contain much
carbon, and carbon produces heat. Farm
stock in the winter crave oily grains, as
corn, for the reason that they assist in
keeping up the animal heat. Is it not
poor economy, in view of these facts,
asks contemporary, to let your cattle,
colts, and sheep winter at the lee side of
some bleak hill, or in the fence corners,
when little time and money expended
at odd times would provide them with
comfortable stables, or al least warm
sheds7 The money paid for this will
pay for itself each season, to say nothing
of the satisfaction of knowing that you
