Seed Timothy in Standing Corn.

Every experienced hay raiser
knows the uncertainty of getting a
good stand by any Of the old modes
of seeding timothy. Two-thirds of
the time only a partial set is OBJ
tanned and the farmer, hoping for
Improvement in the set, cuts and
rakes over the ground year after
year, getting half crop of hay, or
less, and that largely mixed with
weeds and briers, until he finds that
the weeds and briers are improving
in their set. Then he concludes to
cultivate the land in corn or some
other crop to kill out the briers,
preparatory to another trial at seed
ing to timothy.
l will warrant any of the old
modes to fail two-thirds of the time
to get good set and crop-full
average crop-the first year, and I
will warrant two-thirds Of the eff
forts to succeed in good sets and a
full average crop the first year if
seeded in standing corn in a proper
manner. The farmer should have
the seeding in view in the prepare
ton of the ground for the corn crop
in the spring. The corn should be
planted and cultivated 'both ways"
as farmers say-the ground left
clear and level. Sow any time be-
tween the 18th of August and the
last of September, stirring the
ground Immediately after land be-
fore, too, if he pleases) with a har-
row or light cultivator. Cut the
stocks level with the ground as soon
as the corn is gathered-roll in win
ter and spring.-Ec.

The Best limo to Cut Bushes.

Twenty years ago I bought pas
ture of good soil, but badly overrun
with bushes-roses, blackberry bay
berry and barberry. For several
years thereafter, as opportunity &C.
Cured during the summer season,
the bushes were cut, and | had 4
good opportunity to observe the eff
feet upon their life when cut at
different times. 1t was uniformly
the case with all the kinds, that
when they were cut in the latter
part of August or early in Septem-
Der, they were most injured if not
killed by the proceeding. The ro-
ses were nearly all killed by one
cutting off that season, and the bar
berry, especially those Of large
growth and which were in fruit,
never sent up sprout from the
stump or root. The bayberry and
blackberry were most difficult to
eradicate with the scythe, but were
then, and are now, kept down bet
ter when cut late in summer than at
any other time. 1 am confident the
time mentioned is the best to de-
stroy any plant by cutting up; and
l think it would be more effectual
if done before the foliage drops in
the autumn, while the plant is
growing, and too late for it to make
new growth before winter.
An experiment, which l made for
another purpose, leads me to think
it may be done later in the autumn.
A few years ago 1 had about two
hundred peach trees, from three to
five inches in diameter, which had
been left in the Seeding rows to
fruit, on account of their vigor and
hardihood, and in the hope that
some of them would yield good fruit.
They stood in rich ground, which
was allowed to sward over with
grass. None of them bore good
fruit, and l desired to bud them
with good varieties. 10 do this l
concluded to cut'them off near the
ground, and to bud the shoots that
would grow up from the stump
They were all, therefore, cut off an
inch or two from the ground, on the
10th of November, 1870, and I ex-
pected and desired a thick growth
of shoots next spring. But not
shoot, sucker or bud ever started
from one of those stumps or roots.
The destruction was entire and
complete with every tree. 1t seems,
physiologically, that the same effect
should attend the same treatment
of plants we wish to eradicatc.-

direction that water is most inclin.

direction that water is most inclin-
ed to run.
When you have got the field
plowed and sowed, and there is a
hollow, don't be afraid to harrow
more the better. Run, also, the
pillow across the burrows to take off
the water more completely. Take
one horse and pillow and run up one
furrow and down another. It clears
the way for the water. After a
heavy rain go over the field and see
that no water stands. In the win
ter season we generally have frost
after heavy rains, and that is the
time when the water cannot get off,
that the grain perishes, and no won
der. But where one is perfect in
his farming it will be found that it
is seldom that his grain perishes.
Of course it will not be necessary
to take this pains on rich rolling
land.-Cor. Of Cincinnati CONNER

"The Scotch pillow handle is seven
feet long, with an angle of hardly
more than fifteen degrees, while the
beam is only three feet long, and it
IS only twenty-onc inches from the
cut of the pillow to where the power
is attached; at the same time the
mold-board is full four feet, and an
improved pillow not yet brought to
this country has mold-board four
feet nine inches in length. The
draft is attached to an adjustable
clevis, SO that blowing may be done
directly up to fence or wall with
out inconvenience and the draft be
direct; and, as we stated, the mold
board is adjustable by a brace-screw
with double taps"

High Freights and the West.

Just now high freights are opera
ting very injuriously, if not disas-
trously, to Western interests, At
the present price of corn in this city
it would cost nearly its price to
transport bushel across the At
lantic. Add to this the cost of
transportation between here and
New York, and it will take the
price of two bushels of corn to de-
liver one in Liverpool. Freight on
grain by steam from New York to
Liverpool has, during the latter
part Of this summer, been from nine
and half to twelve pence sterling.
But when we take the price of corn
in Iowa, and compare it with the
cost Of transportation in the foreign
market, which really controls the
value of the commodity, we will
find still more alarming deficit to
the producer.
The reason for the high freights
on the Atlantic may be found in the
high price of coal, the unpreceden-
ted advance in iron, and the opening
of the Suez Canal, which has caused
an extraordinary demand for steam
tonnage. But the reason for the
advance in inland freights we fear
does not arise from quite so legiti-
mate causes. Railroad combina-
tons and "watering the stocks" of
most Of the great lines, enabling the
holders to double and triple their
dividends on the original invest
ment, have played very import
ant part in this enhancement of the
cost of transportation, which is
bearing so heavily upon not only
tho agricultural, but all other inter-
ests IN the West. The effects of
these operations are felt with great
intensity at a time when tbs West
has been blessed with large crop
of corn, the price for which is unu-
sually low. Atpresent prices, while
so1ns portions of the globe are
threatened with q famine, the world
will again witness the extraordinary
and, almost so, sacrilegious spccta-
Gle of staple article Of food being
burned for fuel upon the teeming
prairies of Illinois and Iowa, Just
