and the conversation turned on our Iowa
County Map. He said that it was the

having one it had saved him much trouble
and money He had bought tract of

found he had bought another mans land

SAVE THE MAPLE SEED.-The silver and
scarlet maple seed are ripe and falling from
the trees, and now is the time to gather them
for planting. The seeds of these trees are
very delicate, being very little more than two
thin leaves folded up into the form Of a bud.
If planted within a few days after ripening,
they Will grow readily and rapidly, and by
Fall become plants two feet high How
simple an operation it is TO grow trees when
one knows Just how and when to begin
But there is little use of trying to teach
people who do not want to learn; although
whenever / ride over the western prairies,
and see thousands Of farmers homes without
a tree about them, feel like turning mis-
siOnary and 20 to preaching about them.
\ silver maple tree will grow large enough
from seed in four or five years to make quite
a handsome shade tree; and yet nursery

per thousand, delivered free to any postofice
in the United States SunstrOke ought to
be far more prevalent than it is among those
land owners who will neither furnish their
cattle nor themselves and families with cool,

cheaply. A dollar and q half per thousand

BEsr TINE FOR CUTTING GRAss.-We have
looked over the pages Of the last Report on
Massachusetts, Agriculture, in order to learn
some Of the opinions Of those who engaged
in the discussions on this subject last winter
Some Of them are as follows
Prof CHADBOURNE.-My opinion and be-
lief is, that the best time to cut grass is
when 1t Is well IN blossom. just as the
blossom ounce out, just as the seed begins to
form, is the time when the nutrIrIve material
which the plant furnishes is mainly in the
plant, and Is best distributed in it.
Mr.. JoHNsoN.-Iad for Is years got his
day into the barn on the same day in which
it was cut, and with excellent success.
DR.. LoRISG.-Is sure that the time when
the plant has reached that point of economy
to the farmer and of the largest nutrition to
the animal which consumes it, is Just ex
actly the point Of time which Prof. Chad
bourne has specified that Is, the time of
leaving the blossom and going into the pro-
cess OF making seed, and before the process
of making seed has taken up the nutritive
elements of the plant.
At discussion in the Maine State Board
of Agriculture these opinions were expressed
by many excellent farmers.
4 careful observation IN regard to the best
time for cutting, long ago convinced us that
the time specified by Prof Claiborne, is
the true time. We cannot fix upon any
date which to do this work, because the
grasses are not all in the same condition at
any particular date.-Nel0 England Farmer
Green-Mountain freeman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1844-1884, 1872-06-19

results, but in the end more economical than
our common practice Of annual or semi
annual repairs. A bad place in road, like
break in the surface, is quickly and cheap
~ mended if it is taken in season, but if it is
neglected, it soon becomes larger and more
expensive to mend. Every mechanic knows
this to be true of every other kind of work,
and why not this % a stitch in time saves
nine,'' has passed into proverb. and it
ought especially to be applied to roads.
Now instead of having men to % around
and examine the roads once in six months,
why should not every town employ it's men
by the year, as the town of Waltham, and
the town of Newton do? 1t is hardly too
much to say that the roads can be kept in
constantly good repair in no other way, and
as to the cost, it is no greater for the same
amount of work done, while the object is
accomplished much more surely and much
more to the satisfaction of the public. Men
who make it a constant aud regular business
soon come to understand it better than others
can. They not only know what to do but
how to do it. Hire men by the year
and keep them constantly at WORK either on
or for the roads. -Ploughman.

EGGs MATCHING BADL-.-Complaints are
frequent and widespread Of eggs Matching
badly. One gentleman writes, that from
sixty eggs set early in the season he got
only eight chicks from another, we hear
of an instance of nearly one hundred eggs
set, and not a single chicken. Again,
another has set upwards Of four hundred
eggs. and has from them only one hundred
and fifty chickens from the same number of
eggs, last year, he Matched nearly three hun
dred and fifty chicks; these last are mix
ture Of different breeds, brahma blood pre-
dominating With some CORES pOndents, the
early clutches Matched poorly, and the later
ones average sixty to eighty per cent. Some
have attributed the trouble TO climate in
fuences others, again, to worthleesness of
the cock One writes, his hens sit too steady
the thunder comes in for part Of the blame
1--WE in the vicinity of New York city would
gladly have Iisked the effect of that for lit
tie of the rain which generally accompanies
il J and one unfortunate purchaser OF eggs
at what he terms . fancy . price, would
fam change the failure to the misdOings of
the seller. 1--WE Will say to this correspon-
dent, that we received a note from the party
of vi HON be complains, in which he states
that not more than twenty-five per cent. Of
his eggs have Matched, during the entire part
Of the season.
Heretofore, this trouble has frequently
been heard of locally, but this seasonit seems
almost universal. Our old fogies have
always charged all bad luck and disease to
these . new tangled FOWLS but this season
they are at fault. Dung hills, mixed breeds,
and fancy poultry, alike share the trouble,
The question is " hat causes it, Is 1t eli
mate? Does it result from the very dry
state Of the earth and atmosphere We
much incline to this theory. Let US hear
from all points, with particulars Of the
weather, and such other information as bears
upon the subject. 1t is matter in which
all are interested, and one TO which each
should contribute his share of information.

NECESSITY OF GREEN FooD FOR FowLs.-The
last requisite in the shape of diet is a regular
supply Of green food Here again, fowls
kept on grass will need no attention; but for
birds penned up, the daily provision of it is
an absolute necessity, though most beginners
are ignorant of it. We well remember, in
our own early experience, how many fowls
died, we could not at first tell why and one
fine buff Cochin cock, whose only fault was
a strong vulture hook, was, in particular.
regretted An experienced friend let US into
the secret and after that we had no diff
Guilty IN keeping fowls even where it is often
said they cannot be kept in health, viz, in
yard paved with large fagstones The best
subst ute for natural grass is a large fresh
turf t. Town IN daily to each four or FIVE hens
and eY-n in towns it is often possible to
procure this, by giving children few pence
every week to keep up a regular supply.
Where turf is not allowed to be taken, grass
may be pulled but in this case must be
cut into green chaf with shears or a chaf
machine. The latter plan is how we manage
in yard only 67x35 feet, divided into SIX
pens; paying some child few pence to
BRING fresh cut grass daily, cutting it up
and mixing it with their soft meat

COVERING MANURE.-It Is remarkable that
more attention is not given TO the subject of
covering manure from the weather, and es-
pecially from too much rain Those who
have given the matter particular attentiod
have found that manure so protected is
worth double that which is left out in the
open air. Two loads for one is profit few
farmers can kafford to lose There is no
question which so vitality concerns the farmer
as this one of manure. Much that be does
has reference to it. Straw is not to be sold
because it makes manure. Stock is fed
through the winter 70: the express purpose
of manure making. Articles which scarcely
pay 70 send to market, are nevertheless
taken to the city IN order that manure NAV
be brought back as a return load and vet
the whole of the manure made, remains all
the season exposed to the sun, wind, and
rain, until II is diminished in value to so
great an extent as it is. The trouble is
that few really believe that exposed manures
undergo this loss. But the matter has been
too thoroughly tested to admit of q doubt
We know first class farmers who did not
themselves believe it, until by actual expert
ment they found out its truth.
In arranging farm buildings il will nav
well 70 look as much to the preservation Of
the manure as Of the hay or grain and
those who have their buildings ALREADY finish
ed without these manurial arrangements will
find that $25 or $50 spent on boards for a
shed will rank among the best investments
ever made Germantown Telegraph.

EVERLASTING Fence PosTs.-There Is Il
peculiar satisfaction in listening to the con-
versation, or in reading the writings of posi-
tive men,-as those who deal only with facts,
and with such facts as have but one side and
no exceptions. Such man tells US, in the
Western EuTaI, how 20 preserve posts for
fences, sc. lie says ;-'' discovered many
years ago that wood could be made to last
longer than iron in the ground, ,but thought
the process so simple and inexpensive that 1t
was not worth while making any stir about
it. | would as soon have poplar, Eastwood
or quaking ash as any other kind Of timber
for fence posts. | have taken out Eastwood
after having been set seven years, that were
as sound when taken up as when first set in

have no effect on them. The posts can be
prepared for less than two cents apiece.

recipe. Take boiled linseed oil, and stir in
pulverized charcoal to the consistency Of
pain. Put coat over the timber, and there
