since tried and recommended in a great many

The ingredients are almost always at hand, are so

the least danger in its use in any case. Take
equal quantities good vinegar and boiling water,
and little more common salt than they will
dissolve. Pour the vinegar on the salt in tea

it settle, and then take according to the violence

Mr.. Charles L. Flint, gosd authority on grasses,
reiterates what is now becoming pretty generally
known among our best farmers, as to the how
and when to SOW grass seed. He says:
Early fall seeding without grain should be
adopted in practice, in preference to seeding in
spring.
As general rule, it is poor economy to take
any grain crop either with without immedi-
afely preceding the seeding down to grass. That
the grass being the ultimate and paying crop, it
is bad practice to reduce the land by the draft
which grain crop makes upon it.
Wherever from any local reason it becomes
desirable to take crop of spring grain, it is more
economical to grow the grain alone in the spring,
and to pillow up the stubble and SOW the grass
seed alone in the early fall.
In cases where it seems desirable to SOW grass
seed in the spring, it is better to sow it alone and
let it take its chance, without compelling it to
struggle for existence under the disadvantages
of grain any other crop.
In seeding down in August or early in Septem-
Der We are following nature as to time, and that,
unless the ground is already rich and in high
condition. it is necessary to give the seed the ben
eft of an application Of manure on or near the
surface to which the seed is applied.
In the selection of seed for moving lots and
hay we should choose varieties to mix that
blossom at or nearly at the same time, and not
mix very early and very late varieties together.

CATTLE KILLING TREEs.-It is fact that all
careful farmers must have noticed, that a tree
seeming ever thrifty and of whatever kind,
to which cattle have access, and under which

roadside this is a common occurrence, and the
question naturally arises, why is iti First rub

Keep she Cassle Growing

The most successful breeders of horses, cattle,
sheep or swine know from experience that al
though they may possess the best breeding ami
mails, they will not he successful in producing
superior stock if a continuous growth of the
young animals is not kept up. In order to begin
in time at this indispensable preparation for sue
cess, the brood mares, cows, ewes, and sOws are
most carefully and suitably fed while with young,
and as soon as the young animals make their APP
Pearance, they are taken the greatest care Of the
dams being suitably fed while sucking, and " hen
the young ones are weaned, they are not supposed
to want for food or drink single hour.
by this means q continuous rapid growth is
kept up, and the animals attain large size and
heavy weight at an early age. When breeding
animals are not properly fed and comfortably
sheltered in winter, the bad effect of such treat
ment is not confined to their own want of con-
dition-it is shared by their progeny, and can
never be remedied. When young stock are not
fed well and comfortably sheltered in winter,
their growth becomes stunted, and no subsequent
amount fgOod treatment can repair the damage.
Young animals may suffer for want of proper prov
ender in summer and autumn, as well as in win
ter, and when this happens it stops continuous
growth, and prevents ultimate success in the OBJ
Ject of the breeder.-W0rkinq Farmer
