WEDNESDAY, EvENG. NOV. -. 1873,
Orchard Grass seed.

In addition to what we have already sale
relative to this valuable grass, which We
are anxious to see mere extensively cult
waited with us, we give the following, frem
the Western (Ill.) Rural, in reply to Q
Wisconsin correspondent: Orchard grass
is one of the most valuable Of our early
grasses, and ought to be more generally
experimental with. 1t has, also, the quality
Of growing admirably in the shade OF trees,
and therefore, on we'll drained soils, is val.
liable. It thrives well on dry, we'll drained,
and especially on rich, sandy lands. There
is no doubt of its permanency in such local
tiles and, ripening as it does about the
same time as clover, it is valuable in con-
nection with this forage plant Its especial
value is the early feed which it makes in the
spring and its quick growth after being cut
OR cropped by animals, except during
drouth, when, like other fibrous.rooted
grasses, it starts slowly.
It should be sown, when not in connec-
ton with other grasses, at the rate of not
less than one bushel of fourteen pounds to
the acre. If sown thin it is apt to form
stools or tussocks. The middle of Au-
gust in your latitude is good time to SOW
it. If not then, have the land properly
prepared, smooth and mellow on the sur
face, and sow as early as possible in the
spring.
Orchard grass contains about 10000
seeds to the ounce, and the seed ordina-
rily weighs twelve pounds per bushel, or
fourteen pounds when thoroughly cleaned.
Timothy weighs forty-four pounds per
bushel, and contains about $4,000 seeds
per ounce. In seeding for permanent
pasture, orchard grass should always form
a large proportion of the varieties used.
The following quantities, recommended in
grasses and forage plants, will give good
general idea of the quantity of seed used
for this purpose. The great mistake usual
ly made is sowing too little seed. For
permanent pasture it is recommended to
sow:
''Of meadow foxtail, meadow fescue, red
top and rough-stalked meadow, each two
pounds orchard grass and perennial rye
grass. each six pounds; Kentucky blue
grass and Italian rye grass, each four
pounds; timothy and red clover, each
three pounds white clover, five pounds
sweet-scented vernal grass. one pound
making in all forty pounds Of seed per
acre.
This would give the enormous number of
%, 900, 900 see6s per acre. or about eight
seeds to each square inch. That it is not
too much is evident from the fact that old
close swards in England have been exam
ined, upon square foot of which were
about one thousand plants, or seven to each
square inch. One of the great mistakes
among American farmers in seeding both
meadow and pasture land, is the sowing
OF far too little seed to make the acreage
give the quickest and largest returns.
