Grasses WITH Grain.

- q -
Tine Ohio Farmer does not favor
the plan of sowing grass seed with
small grain as is often done. This
subject was brought 'up Incidentally
at the last meating Of oar Farmers
Club by an inquiry Of Judge Kim
kead's as the best grain for rotation.
The Ohio Farmer says:
We have for some time investigated
the practice 80 common of putting in
grass seed with some other crop
True, we often see good meadows
come ofseed sown with oats or wheat,
but is not the grass crop Of sufficient
Importance to warrant putting it in "a
a crop by itself without subjecting it
toe season Of subordinate and over
shadowed growth? Farmers who
practice thus subordinating this crop,
fiatter themselves that they gain one
season in getting their field sod. We
think otherwise; besides, If a field is
to be kept in grass for some years
withoutmanure, IL should have the
whole strength of tile previous til.age
to start upon, instead Of being forced
to take up with such elements as other
crops has -enfeebled or refused. On D.
In Southern Ohio, where timothy
hay is most popular in market, the
best cultivators put in their grass in
the same manner they do a wheat
crop, and when they come to count
the profits of their produce, they do
not heed any better argument than
that they have both made money and
gained time. a9is an4s us5d j
After the subject of latitude and
adaptation of soils, comes the ques-
ftion of particular, uses, viz: for what
kinu of stock is the hay or pasture in.
tended. Good timothy hay is best
for horses, while clover, rightly cured,
and finer succulent grasses, are more
desirable for young cows and young
stock. AL this 10 so readily UNDER
stood that We need not enlarge upon
it, since we often hear OF sheep farms,
dairy farms. stock farms, etc, which
recognize the principle Of adaptation
offwhich we have been speaking. q

Growing the lslncs- Varieties.

In the Western States fhere is little
attention paid to growing thisTexcel-
lent and useful fruit; and many per.

even better than the pear, good well
grown ounces bringing IN the market
from eight to ten dollars per barrel /;
not half the price Of fine pears, but the
ounce is subject to mo disease here
and very productive. Where you
give tho ounce good cultivation as
the pear, enormous crops arc the re-
suit; the ounce needs ftcll soil, and
rather moist aud cool; there should
be yearly application of rotten chips,
mould, or old decaying straw thrown
around them. The pruning should
be sparinely done, cutting out only
such twisted or iil-formed branches
as sometimes occur. The bush or
shrub form seems best suited to the

what is bought for vinegar is made out
of diluted acid, or a little mean whisky
