The Best Time to Sow Grass Seed.

A GREAT many farmers SOW their grass
seed in the former part OF the growing
season, as they fancy that time to be a
more favorable period than any other, for
the reason that ii will be better to SOW the
grass seed with clover seed. If the clover
seed be sown in autumn the young plants
will seldom attain sufficient size to endure
the frOsts of winter unharmed. As a rule,
the best time TO SOW grass seed is when
winter grain is put in. OF course some
thing will depend on the season as TO
moisture. 1t is of but little use to SOW
seed when the ground is as dry as dust
which is sometimes the case. Some farm
ers who have long practiced autumn
sowing for grass consider the whole
month of September suitable season. 1t
is desirable to have the young plants OBJ
tain so good hold on the soil that they
will endure the winter; but so much
growth as to form mat On,the surface Of
the ground tends ID attract the field mice
and also 10 kill the grass by what is called
smoJhering." But in the spring the
temptation 10 realize an immediate bene-
fit from the land is so strong that many
are unwilling to sow grass seed by itself.
When sown by itself in spring its growth
is more or less checked by weeds. In
autumn few weeds start, and the grass
gets full possession of the ground, show
ing the following year cleaner crop
more free ffom foul plants-than is usual
ly obtained from spring sowing. Seeding
land in early autumn will permit the re-
newal of the sward without any intermis.
sion-that is, without the loss of crop.
If land is plowed after the hay crop has
been taken off and the grass seed sown, q
crop OF gress may be moved the following
year. When grass seed is sowed in early
autumn better sward will usually be OBJ
tained than is produced by sowing grass
seed with any grain crop in the spring
When grass and grain are sown together

Best Food for Swine.

WHAT would be considered the best
food for swine in summer would not an
swer the same purpose in winter. In
summer such food should be given as
would keep the animal in an improving
condition and would cause it to lay on a
little fat, but not so much as to cause it
to suffer from the heat, as fat porker
undoubtedly does. Cooling foods, such
as plenty of young clover and bran and
middlings, is what we use much of, not
forgetting to give regular and abundant
supplies of fresh, cool water. In putting
up swine for exhibition purposes we have
tried many different kinds of food for the
fall exhibitions, but have found none so
desirable as slop made of corn and oats
| ground together, one-third of the former,
| by measure, to two-thirds of the latter.
One of the best ways to prepare it is to
scald it at night and feed next morning
put on the mass only enough hot water to
thoroughly mOisten it, and then cover up
the barrel tight, so as it can steam well
and make the mass mellow and nice by
morning. If it is found undesirable to
scald it, moisten the mass with water and
then put in one or more pans Of sour milk
thick milk or clabber-to cause it TO
sour by the time it is used. We use both
or either plan, and find them both good.
AS an ordinary summer feed we have
found this food to answer almost all pur-
poses, though we do not feed so high as
when feeding the animals for exhibition
purposes, as experience has abundantly
proved that the breeding stock should moi
be very fat, only in a healthy growing
condition, to insure healthy, vigorous
offspring. The refuse from the truck
patches, such as tomatoes, cabbage, etc.
come nicely into play for summer food in
connection with the above slop, as dc
apples-windfalls-p etc.-Americdr

Rnsumat,.n "a symptom OF other Dis

The alarming extent of chronic rheuma-
tism in the country has led to persistent in
vestigation. 1t has lately been ascertained
that the disease is the result Of other COM
plicated diseases of the liver, kidneys, pam
creas, blood, absorbents, etc. In other
words, that rheumatism is q symptom. It
is also found that, by the removal of the
complicated disease, the rheumatism disap-
pears, as result which seems TO substantiate
the theory. We all know, to our sorrow,
how fruitless the ordinary treatment of this
disease has been, and we now hail with JOY
the dawn of this new discovery. We all
know that the symptoms of these diseases
are generally, present in cases OF chronic
rheumatism, but few have supposed the
disease to be an effect.
To remove these diseases the surest remedy
can be found in the SHAKER EXTRACT OF
Roors OR CURATIVE SYRUP; it appears to
be working many cures. We refer to the
article sold by Druggists and A. J. White,
| New York.
