the USES OF A GRASS CROP.

The first and most important use OF a
grass crop is, to preserve, and, if possible,
increase the fertility of the soil. These re-
suits are attained in two ways by rest.
ing the land from incessant grain-growing
aud BY providing store of manure with
the droppings of the animals fed on the
grass. Both Is rotation and a fertilizer.
the malicious cultivation and home consum-
ton of grass, are of immense value. The
two phrases, ---'.judicious cultivation. and
..homs consumption, however, mean
great deal. Seeding down while the land
is in good condition. top-dressing If there
are successive cuttings taken of, moving
at the proper season, curing in the best
possible manner, are coMprehended in the
former phrase, while, feeding it all to the
stock Of the farm, eking it out with roots
and grains to make it 60 as far as possible,
and using the utmost and wisest economy
in regard to it, are comprehended under
the second phrase.
Another use of q grass crop is to lessen
and tighten farm labor. While in grass,
land needs no ploughing; and in this
country, where the growing season is so
short and hurried, this Is most important
consideration. Every farmer should aim
SO to balance and arrange the work of his
farm that, while the whole year should be
consecrated to industry, there should be
as few great rushes as possible. The
strain Of regular, moderate. systematic
toll, Is far less then that of excessive effort
now and then. Moreover, many are COM
PEELED to hire at certain times because OF
the work, that must be done just then !;
who, on a better plan, might dispense
with the hiring, to the advantage of their
profits.
There is also mechanical effect of grass
on soils of certain texture. They loosen,
aerate, and mellow them. Ii we include
the clover among the grasses, as we fair
ly may, in treating of the uses they sub
serve, their long tap-r0ots are eminently
serviceable in mechanically improving
stiff lands. A similar influence is exerted
when sod is ploughed under. Every farm
er knows into what nice condition soil is
brought by the rotting of good green
sward. This would be even more percep-
tible than it is, if we kept our grass land
in higher condition by top-dressings OF
well-rotted farm-yard manure, and artifi-
cial fertilizers.
Speaking still of the clovers, there is no
small store of wealth in their bloom.
Those of them that are accessible to the
''little busy bee.'' as are the white and
alsike varieties, are in this country, the
great source of the honey-yield. A CON-
pletely stocked farm will have its apiary
as well as its pig-sty, sheep-fole. and its
poultry yard; and there are none OF the
live stock that viii yield more profitable
return than this untiring insect WORKER
