SOtcin0 Grass Seed Alone.

Farmers as a class cannot be made to
believe that grass seed will succeed Just
as well, and often great deal better, if
sown alone than with grain, in the usual
way. If the land is rich and the follow
ing season is favorable to the growth of
grass then a good stand may usually be
obtained by sowing with grain F.; but if
droughts should occur the young, delicate
grass Is likely to be smothered or to per-
ish for want Of water. The grain among
which it is growing being so much larger
and more vigorous will prcpriate to It.
self the bulk Of the moisture and fertility
Of the soil.
The severe drought which has prevailed
in the atlantic states the present season
will make re->eeding Of many thousand Of
acres necessary, and We suggest to those
who have never given the sowing Of grass
seed alone 4 trial to DO 50 this Fall, and
see fla better stand of grass cannot be
obtained in that way than by the old
doubling-up system. When grass and
grain are Sown together both must neces-
sariy suffer mere or less from crowdlng,
if not for lack Of moisture, aud US the
grass Is the weaker, it is injured most,
the result being feeble growth not
worth gathering tor hay, and OF little val
ue for pasture until the second year, but
If the grass seed Is >own alone IN early
Autumn or about the time Of sowing wiz
ter grain it viii generally grow sufficiently
RANK to yield a fair crop Of hay the fol-
lowing season, and will not be half 80
liable to De destroyed by droughts.
This system OF sowing grass seed alone,
may not answer equally well in all local
titles and soils, but it Is being practSed
by our best farmers some OF whom have
expressed to US surprise at their own
stupidity at SO long practising the Old
system. We have tested both systems
time and again aud invariably the grass
seed sown alone was far the best; hence
the above suggestion TO those who have
failed to have a good stand in their field
the present season. There is however,
this disadvantage IN sowing grass seed
alone, that one blowing and narrowing
does not answer Tor two crops u when II

Baron Nolds writes to German con-
temporary suggesting that such trees as
form the resting place of bats should be
felled only in the warm months Of the
year, while their inhabitants are in state
of activity, and able to seek fresh shelter
for themselves. The only objection in this
plan he can anticipate is that labor is
more easily and cheaply secured in the
Winter than in the Summer months
Well-grown oak trees being required for
naval purposes, notice was issued that
none should be felled until the receipt OF
special orders. Long after the trees had
arrived at maturity, he notice remained
unrevoked, and they were suffered TO run
on to state of decay. This being report
ed to the higher authorities orders came

work was undertaken in the depth of win

mating bats died from disturbance and ex-
posture, and the ultimate result was the
total destruction of the whole forest for
