results when sown with other grasses
! advise every enlerprsing farmer by
all means to SOW 0 patchof orchard
grass, either with red clover or alone,
It flowers early with clover, and soon
starts again for second crop The
seed is in the chat, and should be
put in thick, two bushels 10 the acre
ifsowed alone. We need many ex-
periments on grasses all over the state
in various kinds Of soil. AS expert
ments are costly, SOW only small
quantity At first, and see how it goes,
then besure 10 report the results to
the paper. Your seed may be poor.
or full OF foul stuff, SO purchase light
at.tirst. You can generally raise the
seed cheaper than to buy it if the
grass fonrishes on yonr land -

"A WoMAN's FARMING.-I have
been always taught that farming is
slow but sure way to independence,
but IL must be learned IN the bitter
school Of experience; and many sad |

and reared on tho tafms Inn only
woman, but | would rather undertake |
to make my living on farm than at
any OF the learned professions or any
other way left open for woman to
earn an honest living, Several years
ago my father died, leaving us trny
mother, my brother and myself with |
a farm ofabout one hundred acres OIL
tillable land. There were about TWEEN
" acres more Of woodland and rocky
knobs only fit for pasture. Ny broth.
er had been in business away from
homei but he did not wish the farm
or implements sold, and be thought |,
we had better continue farming with
hired hands and with what little he'll
could do outside OF business hours.
Then came years of trouble, but /
tinally became accustomed TO manag-
ing with mothers help, inside of the !
house and out. Mothers health was
such as to keep her inside The house j.,
weeks together my brother was still ;
less at home with each succeeding !
year. until the last year he was almost J
entirely away from home, so that we !
managed II altogether with hired :
help. We live about FIVE miles from !
Harrisburg, Penn, which has mark !
