The HER AID.
Grass the Essential Crop.

In section of the country, where
stock must fed en- hay and grain for
six months in the year, it is import.
ant 10 secure the requisite amount OF
grass and other fodder for such de-
mands. There is little danger of
making too liberal provision in this
respect. 1t is impossible to antici-
pate how long and how cold winter
may be, nor how much a stock of
cattle will consume. The better
class Of farmers are adopting new
plans to secure a greater and longer
continued crop of grass, The best
method seems to be to put soil into
good hearth, by a judicious system
of cultivation, and after seeding, keep
up the strength of the soil by repeat
ing top dressings either Of fine man
ure, phos phate, or guano, or we'll
dried muck and lime in some form.
This is evidently the most econom-
ical arrangement, when the nature
of the soil is sufficiently we'll UNDER
stood to enable the occupant to APP
ply the needed fertilizing element,
II saves labor both Of man and beast,
and returns an immediate paying
harvest better than vegetables or
grain. But there are other consider
atoms besides the producing of grass.
1t must be properly cured and hous-
cd. TO do this, the farmer should
be provided with the necessary MAJ
chinery to drive his haying and se-
cure his crop much earlier than is
usual, and before the rain of August
blackens it and dienches out It's vi
tality. 1t is no longer question
whether grass should be cut early,
when in the blossom or even before
that stage, or when tho stock is dry
and the seed fully matured if not RI
pened. Having produced a heavy
growth and been fortunate in secur-
ing it, let care and prudence be ex>
ercised in feeding it out to tho stock.
and especially in drawing it to the
market. Tons may be saved by
early cutting, properly curing and
judicious feeding. Cutting, securing,
mixing with meal are processes all
worthy Of consideration. But what
ever plan is adopted, let there be no
waste. TaNing even the hints given
here and acting accordingly, farm
ers may save largo per cent. OF
hay that is now wasted.-MdncheS-

Culture of Cranborrtes.

Where do all the cranberries come from,
is question often asked; and, on investi-
cation, We are fairly astonished to witness
the remarkable amount Of business now
transacted in this small fruit. To those
having low lands, useless for any other
purpose, the cranberry, once planted, often
yields the possessor a greater profit than
any similar area Of other crops on the same
farm.
The consumption of this fruit is extending
rapidly into all parts of the world; is becom-
ing more and more household necessity.
New Jersey raises the largest bulk of cram
berries in the country, employing about six
thousand acres for the purpose, the value
OF the crop raised ON which last year was
100000. The whole cranberry crop of
the country is estimated at about 81 ,500,-
600. Massachusetts raises not less than
ten thousand barrels year. Within the
past five years Wisconsin has made rapid
progress in the culture Of the cranberry,
and the crop in that state last season is es-
tinated at 100000. The average price
per barrel of this fruit is ten dollars, Cape
Cod cranberries commanding the highest
price. The fruit raised on the Cape is the
best Of its kind in the world. 1t is ex-
ported largely to England, and finds its
way to the Queens dinner-table.
