A good many farmers are rushing
into the dairy business under the inn
preston that the profits T large
and sure. They figure only on the
profit side of the ledger, ard do not
take into account losses liable 70 oc-
CIR in the different departments We
do not v ish to discourage any one rom
entering upon dairy farming, Tor we
believe il will compare fsvorsbly in
its profits. when conducted, with 9TH
or branches of farming; but we have
named some Of the disadvantages in
one department-that Of live stock
in order that men may see their own
way more clearly and not get to high
notions of the profits to be realized.
We advise every farmer who is Co.
ing well and making a fair income
for his special kind Of farming, to be
cautions about changing it for some
other branch concerning which he is
not familiar; for the chances r that
the business viii not yield any more
profit, and perhaps not so much as
the one with which heis acquainted.
We believe the profits from dairying
are often over estimated; and while
its advantages to topic Of discussion
and laudation, it is proper that some
of the advantages be made to appear,
and then the balance of the account
may be struck, and no one need be
led astray.

Fan seeding of Meadows.

The practice ofseeding down mead
ows in connection with some kind of
grain, is less common among our
best farmers than formerly. Many
Of them have learned from experience
THAT the various species of our cult
waited grasses actually succeed better
when sown alone than with rye,
wheat, and similar coarse growing
kinds of grain, which are likely to
smother and retard the growth Of the
delicate grasses sown Herewith.
But when grass seed is sown in
spring, and upon rich soils, the
coarse growing weeds are likely to
be more injurious than ordinary
kinds of grain, whereas, if sown in
fall, early enough to insure a good
start before cold weather, the weed
nuisance will be almost, if not entire
ly, obviated.
Wheat, rye, andoat stubble may be
turned under Immediately after har-
vest, and allowed to remain for a few
weeks, or until the first fall rains;
then narrowed and the grass seed
sown. frye or wheat should APP
pear from the scattered grain left at
harvest time, or the land is not in
frst-rate tilth, cross ploughing may
be necessary before sowing. There
is nothing gained by sowing the grass
seed too early, but if heavy showers
should come in August, we prefer
this month to September in the more
Northern States. Usually the first
week in September is a safe time to
escape evere drougbts, and insure a
full growth and a fair crop of hay the
ensuing season. If it is desirable to
add clover to timothy, the seed may
be sown early the following spring.
If any of our readers expect to seed
down any land next spring with the
hardy perennial grasses, we would
suggest that they try fall seeding to
a limited extent, and see which ofthe
two systems is the best. We have
practised both, and are decidedly in
favor of so wing grass seed alone, aud
in the fall, instead of with grain and
in the spring. Weekly San.

RePose the secret Of Power.

A peaceful life is most likely to b,
a full one, with finer and keener sen
sibilities; better related to beauty
ard poetry and all higher matters
more dignifed and self respecting.
Repose Is the secret OF power in
persons, pictures, statutes, architec
ture books, and nature, as if it were
q means OF retaining as well as dis.
closing life; and health demands q
frequent pausing to restore the bal
ance Of the system, and keep up per.
feet circulations.
The night, if spent in healthy sleeu
after proper evening hours, reduces
the worlds chaos, and we are new
every morning.
Who does not know the magic of a
brief pause in the midst of the worst
confusion? A calm of five minutes
will invite back our vagrant ideas and
powers.
SO the home should be like a hush
and a lullaby in this headIong, whirl-
ing, noisy. furious and distracted
world Of the nineteenth century,
nook apart from the thorougbfares-
grotto or power under the sky.
where the beautiful spirits of the air
will hover and dance.
Its atmosphere should be a little
oriental and cheering, as if exhaled
from peoples and baIsams.

when ! see one man loading a wagon,
hauling it a quarter Of mile, un.
loading it and returning, i am
worse than that; / am mad when
see any n hauling out manur and
throwing it down in heaps. The
true way is to spread the manure
from the wagon and spread it evenly
over the ground. II is easier done
in that way for several reasons:-l.
The load is portable, and can be
moved forward TO suit, enabling you
to vary the amount put on as cireum-
stances require. 2. There being a
good board bottom to shovel from is
much easier to handle it than when
lying on the ground. 3. From the
elevated position on the wagon it re-
quires only about Cne-half the exer-
ton TO do the work that it does from
the level of the ground. But the adj
vocates Of the heap theory viii say,
the manure wastes by being exposed
to the sun and air. / have very lit
tie faith in such theories. / have
hauled manure and spread on land in
summer before the land was plowed,
and never in my life did | see the
same amount of manure produce bet
ter results.
