Grass Seed-llow Much TO Sow per

hCUCs
As the number of pounds in bushel
Of seed varies in different States, "says
the Working Farmer, II shall designate
the amount to be sowed by quarts, instead
Of pounds, there being thirty two quarts
in bushel in every State. No man can
lay down o rule which will indicate
the most proper quantity to be sowed in
oil places, and on all kinds Of soil 10
different conditions. Grass seed of some
kinds may be sowed too thickly, although
this is seldom done. Red clover may be
sowed too thick for producing q good
yield Of seed, as there will only be about
so many spears of grass flourish, even
when the seed is sowed in great ahund
ance. When the seed is applied 10
abundantly that there is not room for a
spear to grow from every kernel, por-
tion of the young grass dies. the stronges,
spears overpowering the fecbler ones, and
maintaining the pre.eminence over them
When the country was FIRST settled, our
fathers said four quarts was enough for
one acre. If the soil is in fine tiIth four
quarts is sufficient to seed one acre we'll
if the seed be sowed evenly. Unless it il
desirable to raise q certain kind Of seed
land should not be stocked down with
only one kind of seed. If the soil be in
good state of fertility, and seed be sowr
too thin, some kind ofgrass will tiller, and
cover the ground tolerably we'll. Seed
should always be sown ticker for pasture
than is necessary for meadow, wcther i,
is to be cut for seed of hay. IF tho sol
is rather lumpy, and not very fertile
twice as much seed is necessary por acre
as will be needful, when the surface il
mellow, free from Jumps and covered
with fine, vegetable mold. A farmer
must learn to exercise sound judgment
on this subject without specified direc-
tions from books. However | will state
the proper quantity for general seeding
which may be varied to suit she quality Of
the soil, or for meadows aud pastures.
Three quarts of Timothy, sixteen o.
orchard grass, and twelve Of Kentucky
blue grass will seed any acre of ground
we'll.
When early red clover aul orchard
grass are sowed together, four quarts ol
the former and sixteen of the latter will
be sufficient, if the soil is not too poor tc
produce one and half tons Of hay per
acre.
When it is desirable to sow nothing
but red clover, either early or late, six to
eight quarts per acre will seed the ground
well, it sowed evenly.
When orchard grass on'y Is sowed, not
less than two bushels will be found suffi
cient for one acre, as the seeds are large
Better SOW three bushels per acre, than
less than two.
Kentucky blue grass seed being bulky
and the plants inclined to spread rapidly
one and half bushels per acre will be
found sufficient, ;f the soil is mellow, and
in good state Of fertility.
Hungarian grass being disposed to
grow coarse, when the seed is sown thin
aud fine when sowed thick, when no other
seed is mingled with it, not less ,han a
falf bushel should be sowed per acre
And one bushel will give better satlsfac

Milking.

Few people are aware of the great
difference the mere process of milking
makes in the yield of a dairy cow.
Many imagine that they are good mlkers
when they are really very poor ones, so
far as the ability to bring COW to her
largest possible yield. To understand
how this difference exists, it must be con.
sidered that large proportion of what a
COW gives at any particu ar milking, is
actually secreted during the process of
milking. The milk stored up In tho res
ervoirs can be drawn by any tolerably
skillful mixer, but unless the COW and
the mlker are in sympathy, SO to speak,
unless the animal 10 conte0t aud satisfied
with the mixer and the circumstances,
the secretion Of new supplies during the
process of milking will not take place.
There is close aud intimate connection
between the nervous aud secrctory sys-
tens, and this explains the fact that the
COW will often "hold up her milk as it
is termed 1t shows also that every
mixer should strive to be on good terms
with the COW he is about to milk If he
is perfect stranger to her, he should
take time to gain her confidence and good
will, handling her geutly and petting her,
or giving her something she is fond of to
eat.
We know milker who can increase
the flow Of milk more than a quart n
week by the mere difference in the mode
Of milking, and without the slightest
change in the food of the animal, and
that, too, Notwithstanding the fact that
her regular mixer is quite as good as
the average, and no doubt thinks he
knows how to milk as we'll as any body.
1t is not always fair to judge of the
milking qualities of the COW without TAX
ing into consideration the question as to
who milks her, and how this operation
is performed. A poor mixer will spoil
the reputation ofauy cow.-Massachusetts

The Circus in the Country.

A writer in the Boston Times remarks
that though planting time Is the busies.
and most toilsome season Of the year ir the
country, it is in the rural youth also the
season Of the highest enjoyment during the
year, with the exception, probably, Of mus.
ter day (Which. since the war, has been re-.
vived and made ian institution,") and
Fourth Of July. Itis the season when the
circus comes round, with Its accompanying
menagerie, the denizens which are pictured
in the same beilieerent attitudes, on large
colored posters, which glorify the fron.s o
country stores, barns debouchiug on the
roadsdes, aud all convenient places favor
able to publicity. Thousands o!rural youths
fervently believe that the dreadful comba,s
between lions, elephants and rhinoceroses
take place at the circus precisely as they
appear OH the illustrated posters, and many
long boarded pennies are brought out to
pay for peep at tho melee. There will,
perhaps, be little disappointment in REAL
ization; but that is easily worn away by tho
-sgbt Of the extraordinary feat ofrding
upon four horses at once; the daring bare.
back act; the extraordinary Protsan per-
former, who mounts his horse as plain farm
er, transforms bimself into an Ethan Spike,
theuce into Pant Pry, then anon into Rob
Roy, presto! again into on Indian chief, and
after peeling himself of a couple dozen waist.

body and tights, dazzling bespangled and
grand. And then, is Itere not clown
with his antedilnvian jokes, which are al
ways green, though mostly watered with
whisky; the foolish countrymM who will
pay a'dollar for ri6 and &c. 80 unmercf.-
fully spilled and knocked about; the baby
ride--''desr little love Of thingr and the
lady with'her public contempt for the use
Of trains or travelling dresses; the acrobats
who always jumpdown their own throats!
All these have most exciting effects on the
minds OF rural youth, aud serve for the in
cidsntal talk OF the year until tho circu =
comes again. Toll to them is sweet which
has such sights in prospect as a reward: {:
and We trust they will all have it in course

equally as we'll US they do.
