SOWING GRASS SEED. The following
directions for sowing grass seeds will be
found useful at theapresent time SIN
sowing we advise. for obvious reasons,
that the soil should be clean, in good
condition-the surface. made level and
firm and perfectly pulyerised by narrowing
and rolling. A calm still day, when rain
is approaching, is most suitable for the
work. !. After sowing, the surface should
be only lightly narrowed and rolled:' A
firm seed bed and a depth of covering of
a quarter to half an iuch is most faVora-
BILE for the vegetation ofsmall seeds. If
covered deeply they do not grow at all !,
or in very small proportions; if not, coy
cred, many of the seeds are picked up by
small birds, and the vegetation of those
that escape depends upon their being
washed into the soil by rain. Young
grasses are injured by frost. The proper
season, therefore, extends from March to
September; the spring months are prefer
able. If the land works unkindly, seeds
will not vegetate well, and larger guam
tity must be sown to obtain a plant.
Grass seeds may be sown with or upon
land already planted with wheat, barley
or oats, as a regular. crop, with every
chance of fsuccess-except in cases where
the cereal crops are over abundant and
lodged. When sown without a crop-for
the safe protection of the finer grasses
and to increase the produce of the first
year, it is advisable to add to the quantity
of rye grass sown, and also a bushel of
oats or barley per acre. s,, ..-s

The CUcUMBER.--This, like the
melon, wants rich land, having in its
composition an abundant supply of vege-
table matter. Its roots do not run so far
as the roots of the watermelon, hence one
can, in planting it, have better excuse
for making the land richest near the hill.
For the ordinary varieties, the hills
should be made about six feet apart.
Put in plenty ofseeds to make sure of a
good stand, and when the plants begin to
run, thin to two in the hill. If the
weather is dry, the plants should be treat.
ed to frequent watering with liquid
manure, and also to mulching with some
kind of litter calculated. to prevent the
moisture from drying out. As a food the
cucumber is by no means worth its
weight in gold still people will make
use of it-and that is their business Of
course. The way of preparing it to
make it most wholesome, is to cook it
precisely as you cook egg plants,
Properly prepared in this way it is very
much like the egg plant. To be in q
proper condition for this preparation, it
must be almost ripe-must be cooked
Just before the seeds have become too
hard to cut readily.

SowING ON Observation-Disclosures
as have been the instructions of late for
preserving the almost "lost art' of SOW
ing grain By hand, there remains a;da .e5s one
which, when mentioned, will probably be
derided by those who have not tried it..
I allude to sowing on horseback. Sulky
rakes, sulky rollers, ETC., are regarded rs
useful contrivances for the saving of hu-
man labor, but none of your correspon-
@ the horse ss perform the labor of walking
and carrying seed bag and sower to and
fro across the field during the operation
of sowing the grain. And yet, after a
long experience, the writer has found
that he could distribute seed grain more
regularly from the saddle than on foot,
and with far more ease and comfort las
any good scotsman wilhfnd after short
practice. Grass seeds, however, being
lighter than grain, are best sown on foot.

A "Reminiscences of the War.

One morning a party were sitting at
White Sulphur, and the conversation had
fallen upon the late war. Personal re.
miniscence was in order. Each was the
hero of his own hair breadth escape, and
the sequels were blood and thunder.
Within ear-shot sat an old gray located

"Nary side, gentlemens, but T had q

"A young Frenchman, ito avoid con-

Bee Notes for NAV.

This is the most important month of
the year to the apiarian-as during May
the best swarrns are cast, if natural
swarming is allowed. Or if artificial
swarms are made, the most successful are
those made during this month: And the
finest surplus honey is that secured during
the two last weeks of May and two first
of June. gave last spring directions
for making artificial swarms, and now, at
the risk Of being tedious to old bee
keepers, will give my manner of dealing
with natural ones. I have never found
that beating pans, &C., had any effect in
causing swarms to settle; and | suppose
the custom arose from natural desire to
do something IL a position where there
was feeling of perfect helplessness.
The best plan liz to let the swarm alone,
and as the queen is heavy with eggs, and
the bees with honey, they will usually
settle on some low tree near the hive.
If they should fly very high and seem
disposed to leave, throwing sand and fine
gravel among item will confuse them,
and generally cause them to settle. As
soon as they have settled no time should
be lost in getting them into the hive they
are to stay in, as they are much more
gentle when full of honey, as they al
ways are when they leave the parent hive,
than after they have digested it, which
they do in an hoar or two.
The hive into which you wish to put
the swarm should be put under the tree
on which the bees have settled, with a
white cloth spread under it. If the
swarm is low down and on branch, cut
the branch off with a knife or pair of
pruning shears, and holding it close in
front Of the hive shake the bees off so
that they will fall on the cloth, and in a
few minutes they will all go in. But if
the swarm cluster high up in the tree, or
on too large a branch to cut off without
iarring the bees too much, hold box or
basket close under the cluster, and jar
the bees into it loy striking very sharply
on the bough near the swarm. Carry
them quickly to the hive and pour them
in front of it. AS soon as the bees are in
the hive, it should be carried to its per-
manent stand F; for if this is put off until
evening, as is often done, the bees will
mark their location when going out to
work, and many will be lost when the
hive is moved. Be careful to shade the
hive in which swarm has just been put.
Many swarms leave every season, and are
lost from their hives being so hot that
they can't stay in them. If long rainy
spell set in the day after swarm is
hived, the bees should be fed, or much
time will be lost before getting their
combs started.--Ameriea'a Farmer for
Man.

What a Woman Did.

Jennie June writes in a recent letter to
the Baltimore american: Anothf story
is so strange that it will hardly be
believed to be true, and yet IT is most
painfully so in every detail. A shor
time ago a man applied to one who had
been an old friend to indorse anote which
he offered with some trepidation, but
which bore every evidence OF being gen
uine. The friend was glad to revive old
associations, and as the note was not for
a large amount willingly put his name
to it, The individual was profuse in his
acknowledgements, and incidentally
mentioned his wife's name. Z" Your
wife," repeated the indorser, "why,
thought your wife's name was -. You
know / was acquainted with her before
you were "Oh, yes" said the other,
with a very red face, that was my first
wife; did you not know that she was
dead, and that / had married again?'
No. he did not know it, and was very
sorry to hear of the loss, for that first wife
had been very sweet little girl, and an
old schoolmate and flame of his own. In
due time the note came TO maturity, was
returned to him to his surprise and an
Being in the neighborhood of Harlem,
where the man whom he had known had
formerly lived and owned little house,
he concluded to call and see if he lived
there still. He did call, and to his blank
establishment the first wife, his former
schoolmate, opened the door. He almost
tainted; he told the tale that had been
invented by her husband, and asked her
what it meant. Then she sadly told him
an unhappy story. How her husband
had made the acquaintance of young
girl; had continued it, giving her the i'm
preston that he was an unmarried
man; how he had promised to mar
~ her, and, being unable to do so, had
been threatend with the State prison by
by her enraged relatives.
How, to save him from imprisonment
and utter loss of character, she had per-
mitted him to obtain divorce. entering
no plea, suffering all that misrepresenta-
ton and SANDER could heap upon her,
and finally choosing TO be dead to the
world altogether in her own proper per-
son, and only live under another name,
and in order to support her three chill
dren.
One thing her husband did-he left
her in possession of what had been their
little home, and for the rest she sews, she
writes, she teaches music, she keeps books
for lady who keeps ladies furnishing
store, and thus supports herself and chill
dren; while her husband is boarding in a
semi-fashiOnable boarding house in town
with his second wife, who knew all the
facts, and still married him. but he
still remembers us" she said with a smile
and tear. " He never fails to send a
box of presents to the children at Christ
mas, and my birthday is never forgotten
The old friend is widower without zen
cumbrances," and possibly this may
prove a modern version of the Enoch
Arden story.
