SOWING GRASS SEED.-As tie time is
drawing near when farmers will be pitch
iug in 10 their Springs work. propose 10
state briefly what my experience and prac-
tioe have been in seeding down land.
Forty or my years ago when every farmer,
was customary TO wash the wheat and mix
lime or ashes, likewise grass seed, with 4,
and sow all together and harrow it in
generally both ways. The consequence
was, large share OF the grass seedwss
tramped aud narrowed in beyond the posi-
Oiiiiies OF resurrection. and hence very
poor catch" Then farmers set their
brains TO work and found better way
winch was 10 harrow in their grain first
aud then SOW their grass seed and bush il
IN or roll 1t which i. the usual practice
now. Some five or six wears $40 sowed
my grass seed as usual but neglected 10
bush 1t. The result was / got the best
catch that / ever did. This ha, been my
practice ever since with the same result.
l prepare my ground for the mower
whether he is on two legs or en- wheels
and then SOW my grass seed and leave it TO
work out its own destiny. Nature would
seem to say leave your grass seed Oh the
top of the ground-I do.-fA. c. in Lewis
ton Journal.

Selecting Potatoes for Seed.

Now j. the time TO select seed potatoes.
lfleft until planting time there is 10 selec-
ton. Those are taken that happen 10 be
left-generally small or misshapen speci-
mems that have proved unstable or have
been thrown aside in selecting the best for
the table. Large size is . matter OF less
Importance in seed potatoes than smooth,
well-shaped roots. The crop is grown
from an eye not seed. and there is his
important difference between the seed and
the eve, that while the first almost always
shows variation from its parent 10y cross
fertilization. the eye or cuttin. forms a
continuous growth which must perpetuaie
its own characteristics. The application
of this principle in selectiu. seed potatoes
is obvious. In the same variety there are
generally some potatoes better shaped than
others. Most buyers and housekeepers
prefer a long potato. The Early Rose,
when ii grows of good size, takes this
form. while the snalles. potatoes are near
~ round. The same is trLe Of the Peer
less. BY selecting the longest and smooth
est specimen for planting, this habit OF
growth will become fixed and add largely
to the value of the crop. This ! know TO
be so by experiment. | have theory that
by cutting of the seed end and planting
tue porato. purs na3rt oI CROWN would De
accelerated
II IS certainly reasonable to suppose that
eyes from the seed end. which is often
nearly round, would produce more pota-
toes Of that shape than if cut from a long.
smooth surface. The seed end OF potatoes
is always crowded with eyes, and this also
Is an undesirable quality to perpetuate
Something may also be gained by cutting
ont eyes that are too deeply set in the
potato. or too prominent on the surface
These are Objectionable features and
should be guarded against Tie Size Of
seed potatoes is of minor importance. ex-
cePt from the fact that the best shaped
specimens are of medium or large size.
Monstrosities of every shape should be
avoided. With the best of care in select
Dc seed there will be some mis-shapen
potatoes caused by stones or other obstx-
eles in the soil. Manuring with coarse
manure is said TO make potatoes grow
pronged or knobby; but some experiments
made last year do not warrant this idea u
think that ashes and gypsum on potatoes
tend to make tubers large and well shaped.
ii seed potatoes are kept in the cellar they
should be covered with few sods to keep
them from drying up, aud thus injuring tho
eyes. The sods will also retard the sprout-
Ing of large varieties until planting time.
thus insuring a more vigorous growth. Al |
most every year some Early Rose, planted |
about the first of June, fail to grow because
the eve has started once. exhausting the
starch in the potato which has dried up |
until it is almost worthless for seed. A
little care at this time will save great |
deal of vexation aud loss in the potato |
crop next season.-lW. j. f., in New York |

Onion Growing.

The successful culture of onions requires
more experience. skilled and intelligent
knowledge than most other varieties OF
vegetables, for the reason that every oper-
alton must be reasonably aud promptly
performed. will give a brief outline OF
the secrets of the business.
The first requisit is a good soil; the
quality should be q little heavier than the
best corn land. and nearly level. to avoid
washing in case of showers.
Implements-A good plough. 4 ii ne har-
row, steel-toothed cultiyator, a fine steel
rake. shuttle hoe, hand-weeders and a
seed sower.
Preparation of the Ground-To com
menee at the beginning, should break up
in the Spring rich sward; plough seven
inches deep; manure well on the burrows,
working the manure into the soil com.
pletely.
After the ground is as fine as it can be
made by OK or horse power, strike deep
burrows one rod apart over the entire bed;
rake with fine steel rake, all stones (if
large ones, cart them off before plough
ing) and rubbish into the burrows and level
down smooth. The bed is now ready for

We think that medium or large potatoes.
cut rather finely, 80 as not to give more
than four or six eyes to hill, are on the
whole, the very best sort Of seed to plant
