FERTILIZERS FOR GRAss.-A recent visitor
at the experimental farm Of Mr.. j. r. LaweS,
Rothamsted, England, gives the following sum
mary Of the conclusions derived from trials con-
Quoted during the past sixteen years on eighteen
plots of grass of half an acre each:
The results are, that the unmanured land has
averaged twenty-five and three-quarter cwt. of
hay per acre, that superphosphate Of lime is al
most useless on grass unless ammonia is sup
pied, that sulphate of potash, soda, ETC., en-
courage the growth of clover but DO not greatly
increase the bulk Of the crop, but ammonia salts
and nitrate of soda act most powerfully, and
are the real manures for grass crops. Ammo
mia, however, destroys the clover and encour-
ages the coarse grasses; the crop where the
greatest quantity of ammonia was sown prOduc-
| ing nearly all cock s-foot grass. The ammOni-
| cal salts produced an average Of three tons OF
hay per acre.
A valuable discovery in connection with the
| application of nitrate of soda (also great fer
tilizef of grass, from its rapidly supplying nj.
trogen) is that by repeating heavy doses yearly,
it washes into the soil and fertilizes it to great
depth, so that the roots of the grass following
| the fertilizer get beyond the depth affected by
the dronth, and produce a heavier crop in dry
season. Thus, in 1870, nitrates produced nearly
three tons per acre, while other manureS had
comparatively a very slight effect. Indeed in
a dry season fbe cause of tOpdressings failing is
that they encourage the growth of surface roots,
which cannot endure long drouth.

How TO GET PLENTY OF FRESH EGGs.-In
a long communication to the Germantown Tele-
graph, upon the subject of poultry, Mr.. E.
Dwight, of Hudson, Michigan, considers the
question, " How to get plenty Of good favored
fresh eggs with little trouble" and thinks if
there is any secret in it he has discovered it, and
makes the same public for the benefit of all in
terested. He says;
Once, thirty years ago, was troubled just as
my neighbor now is. l fed my hens plenty of
corn and got but few eggs. | reasoned upon
the matter, and happened to think that the con-
stituent parts OF milk and the white of eggs
were much alike. Now, it has long been known
TO milkmen that wheat middlings and bran are
about the best of any feed TO make COW give
milk why not the best then to make the hens
lay eggs? tried it, and since then have had
no trouble. My mode of preparing the feed is
to mix about five parts of bran with one OF mid
dlings. In the morning | wet up with water
about four quarts of the mixture in a large tin
pan, taking pains to have it rather dry, though
all damp. This | set in warm sunny spot,
south of their shed, and they walk up, take a
few dips, don't seem TO fancy it like corn, and
start off on short hunt for something better,
but always coming round in short time for
few more from the dish Of bran. There is little
time during the whole day but what one or
more are standing by the pan and helping them
selves. am careful 10 mix for them just as
much as they will consume during the day. AT
night, just before they repair to the roost, |
usually throw them about a pint OF shelled
corn, well scattered, so that each one can get
few kernels. If your hens don't incline to eat
this feed at first sprinkle little Indian meal on
TO it. | would like all who complain Of not
getting eggs, to try my plan, and think they
will never be sorry.

varieties, the most promising as market
variety was the Boyden's No. 80, or Seth Boy

favor, as was also Kentucky, as late kind.
Napoleon ILL.,, as an amateurs fruit, was of the
highest excellence, the flesh exceedingly deli

MANAGEMENT OF OLD ROSE BUsHE s.-Never
give up a choice but decaying rose bush till
you have tried watering it two or three times q
week with SCOT tea. Take SCOT from chimney
or stove in which wood is burned, and make tea
of it. When cold, water the rose with it.
When all is used, pour boiling water a second
time on the SCOT. The shrub will quickly send
out thrifty shoots, the leaves will become large
aud thi K, and the blossoms will be larger and
more richly tinted than before. To keep plants
clear of insects, syringe them with quaSSia tea.
Quassia can be obtained at an apothecaTy's.
