FARM AND GARDEN.
LIQUID Manure for Growing Elowers.

Few things, in the management of plants
are more overlooked than that of applying
liquid manure. When the roots of plants arc
confined within garden pot the soil soon
becomes exhausted; and if it be desirable to
grow the plant rapidly 1t must be turned Out
of the pot and the exhausted soil shaken from
the roots, and replaced with fresh earth, or
recourse must he had to liquid manureS'
Floucultursts cannot be aware OF me ao,

states or il would be more frequently useu'
! have found that all free Towering plahtS'
such as petunias gcraniums, some OF inc cut
ceolarias. ba,sams ana cocksCombs, are I'M
proved, and, indeed, have not found amy
Towering plant whatever that has not been
benefited bv a greater or less quantity OF THIS
element. Many New Holland plants are in.
creased IN vig0r by this treatment; the epo-
cris, dioSma, ploYgolo, and many others, be.
sides not few of the hcaths, are benefited,
when it is occasionally applied, AS for H.
stance once every seven or ten days. In wa
terng plants in liquid manure it will be OBJ
served that the soil after having been watered
"A few times does not dry 50 soon as when
waered with clear water, and this lndeDen-
dent of the extra nutritious qualities left in
the soil by the application OF manure water;
il is then great point gained, by whatever
means effected, when plants, whether in pots
or in the natural soil, can be cultivated with.
out the necessity of frequent waterings. AS
there is no more labor required in using
manure water than in applying the same
quantity of water without the mixture of
manure, considering, too, that its advantages
must be obvious to all who give it fair trial,
il does seem somewhat unaccountable to see
persons eXerting great amount of labor to
accomplish small results. ltmust be regarded
rs SO mach labor misapplIed when, had half
the same labor and attention been bestowed,
using at the same time liquid manure, far
more satisfactory results would have been
obtained.-" Aric0la," in n, J. He"r",

Fall treatment of Grass Lands.

Out of the large number of responses re.

Stirring, chiefly in reference 10 grasses and

is 10 pasture meadows in the fall and never

wherever the pastures Of Western Missouri
have been destroyed by the grasshoppers new
varieties of grass have sprung up which the
Oldest Inhabitants have never seen before.
The principal Of these is green bunch grass
of luXurant growth, which covers pastures
and door-yards where only blue grass has
grown for many year before. Stock eat i,
with avidity, and some people contend that
it is buffalo grass, while others see in it a
resemblance to other grasses of the plains
and mountains west of us. We hope that its
development will be studied by some expert
in botany OF this continent, for its origin
may throw a new and important light upon
the origin or migration OF the lucusts. The
seed was evidently brought here and deposit
ed by the swarm that laid eggs in this region
last fall. If brought here from Kansas or
Colorado only, its identity would surely have
been determined ere this by old plalnsmen
who are so numerous hereabCut. 1t has put

Arrivals by Idaho Stage.

CROSSING THE PLAISs.-In these days
of railroad travel. the sight Of caravans
and stock slowing vending their way
through the valley of the Humboldt to
the Golden State has almost faded
from the mind. Yesterday morning,
however, two teams, loaded with oil
the requisites of the old-fashioned
emigrant travel, and accompanied by
number Of horned stock, passed
through Winnemucca from a northern
direction, and camped on the fiat near
the race track OF Puritan descent,
and revereing the uncient command to
"do no manner Of work" on the Sab
bath day. the party prepared to rest
themselves and stock for the day. Ia
the afternoon the camp of the strang-
crs was invaded by number of Win
nemuccans of the curious class, and
Inquisition being our particular weak
ness, we naturally grayitated toward
the spot. G. c. Chase, the leader of
the emigrants, is genial spirit, and
valuable settler in any country. For
the hast few years he has lived in the
wilds of Idaho, engaged in farming and
stock raising. The sparse population
around him consisted exclusively of the
Mormon element and having no sym
patty with the tenets of that fanatical
people, his position was far from agree
able. The prospect of fortune and
offuence was before him, but ne vertbe-
less he determined to "pull up stakes"
and re-enter the boundaries of civilian
ton once more. The party, compris-
ing eight persons, left their home in
Idaho three weeks ago. They are driv.
ing twenty seven head of cattle before
them, moving at the rate of about fif-
teen miles day. Their destination is
Santa Barbara county, California, where
they intend starting a dairy business
