FARM AND GARDEN.


In regard to the proper time and mode OF
sowing bluegrass seed, the quantity per acre,
soil, &c, A. II. Wren, in the Gllead o. Iete-
grUph. says:
l. TIE Gme-Almost any time Of the year
will do when the ground is moist, or Just be-
fOIe n rain or snow But the best time Is In
the spring, from the last of February to the
last of April, or early IN the tall either, with
or without another crop. Ii sown on other
crops, SOW immediately alter the crops are
narrowed in. If sOwn on pasturelanu or old
meadow, harrow thoroughly with sharp
harrow.
2. Node.-If sown when snow is on the
ground, mix the seed with its bulk of damp
unleached ashes, or half its bulk of land.
plaster; rub The mixture thoroughly together
before sowing. The plaster and ashes Will
benefit the land and make it more conven-
lent to SOW. If three times the ashes and
plaster is put on after the seed is sown, it will
he good investment.
4 Quantity-Depends on circumstances.
If on mellow ground and brushed in, three.
fourths of bushel per acre will do. If not
brushed in, or on hard ground, full one bush.
or more is required. 1t is good plan to sow
a half bushel of bluegrass with few quarts
of timothy or clover, or both. After the last
two have given out the bluegrass has pos.
session with good root and sod.
4. S0il.-The best is limestone soil, or loan
with clay subsoil, but it will do on any kind
of land except poor sandy soil or land that
water stands on greater portion of the year.
Redtop is the best for wet land.
Experience has proven that land well set
to bluegrass will yield double the pasture of
our common grasses, and Is moro nutritious.
Stock fatten faster, and butter and meat have
a better flavor and 1t affords better and more
pasture in winter.
Some theorist thinks the sky-blue grass is
the same as what we call June.grass. A mis-
take. June.grass is light and almost worth
less. and dies out more or less in the summer,
while blue grass IS heavier and lives the year
! ound and for years in the future.

calculation within ,ie bounds at this rate
the loss in 1874 was 100000 bushels, which,
at 30 cents, amounts 10 $l1,21hO0J. If We
add to this the loss during the same year,
from the same cause, on wheat, oats and 9th.
er crops, we may begin To appreciate the i'm
portance Of taking some active measure TO-,
wards combating these tiny foes, which our
agriculturists are apt 10 overlook and consid-
er unworthy of serious attention. Nor can
our estimate of the loss occasioned by this
consideration, as it Is not only based upon
the same kind OF evidence as that from which
agricultural statistics are usually made up,
but has even been greatly reduced that II
might not possibly be too large. Seventeen
millions Of dollars is a large sum to be taken
out of the pockets of the farmers Of Illinois
in q single season, after the toll and sweat oi
summer to make it; yet such, at the lowest
estimate warranted by the data, was their loss
by the cbinch bug in 1874 on corn alone. \
sum more than double the assessed value Of
all the hogs III the State; more than four
times the entire state tax; equal to two-ffths
Of the entire State, county, district and city
taxes paid in 1870; and yet there are many
who scarcely deem the matter worthy Of CON
sideratlon. Is there any way or means by
which this immense drain on our agricultur.
al resources can be stopped? Without dc.
slring to raise false hopes IN the minds of our
farmers, feel fully warranted in saying that.
by proper management the loss can certainly
be greatly lessened, and in order to suggest
such plans as seem best adapted TO this end
with reference not only 10 the chinch bug but
also other insects which injure the corn crop,
have prepared this paper.

4 New Breed of Domestic Cattle.

1t is stated in the Turf, Field and Farm, an
agricultural journal, that farmers in Nebras,
ka have commenced the domesication of the
buffalo. The wild animals while young are
introduced among herds of tame stock; of
course only one or two at time. Half and
quarter breeds are found to be very hardy,
and In the yield of mllk the cows raised of
mixed stock give even more than the average
yield Of rich milk. The experiment prom
Uses well, as the endurance of the wild ami
mails is impaired To the domestic stock. In
this way the determination of the species
will take new form, and while bufialOes be
come legendary creatures, the progeny Of the
race will still exist in modified thought pro.
badly more useful forms.

There are several crops that western farm
ers might profitably grow in connection with
the standard crops now raised. We wish TO
call the attention Of our readers to some OF
these crops as aft )rding special advantages
for the ensuinr harvest.
German Mllet Is one Of the most pr0fita.
BILE crops for feed, far superior to Hungarian,
and yielding double the amount of superior
feed. Every farmer should raise few acres
for wintering the young stock and feeding
mich cows.
Alfalfa promises to be q valuable hay crop,
but its adaptivrness to the different soils of
our climate can only be determined by actual
experiment. Let every reader of the Agriul.
tur05i1 try little patch, and you will be
well repaid If you find it adapted to your
soil.
Flax should be more extensively grown, as
its growth and manufacture in the west will
some day mark our great prosperity. 1t Is
successfully and probably grown in Kansas
and Nebraska, and some parts of Illinois,
Iowa and Missouri 1t would be a source of
great revenue to many farmers if more gener-
ally grown. Try few acres of flax and you
will find it pays better than corn.
Tobacco, in localities adapted to its growth,
is very profitable crop Missouri is devel-
oping great tobacco interest, but it does not
pay on prairie soils, and ls not likely to be-
come as generally grown as other crops, in
which labor-saving machinery can be used.
There are many new varieties Of our crops
that should be taken under consideration
and tested judicicusy. The selection of
seed each year should receive much more
care, and either buying the best seed to be
had, or catefully selecting the best of each
crop in the harvest for the coming seed time.

says:
First Of all, desire To call a,rntion to the
importance of the question here discussed,
for am well satisfied that no, only are our
farmers and citizens generally unaware of It's
vast Importance, but that even Our leading
and most progressive agricultarists, although
alive 10 the subject, are scarcely prepared to
fully appreciate its importance If assert
that little Insect less than n grain of wheat
has cost our State more ia q single season
than the hog cholera did in two, the reader,
II farmer, acquainted with the sad havoc
this terrible disease has recently made among
heswine, would be strongly inclined 10 doubt
the correctness of the assertion. Yet l en-
phat!cally affirm that such is the fact; and
might 90 farther and assert, wiih' ut going be
yond the facts, that the loss IN corn alone from
this tiny insect has IN some seasons exceeded
our greatest loss in any one year by the hog
cholera. AS I desire to bring this matter
homo to our farmers IN plain, practical man
ner, will submit some statistics when,
though based to a certain extent upon estl-
mates, are by no means meie guesses.

Office, | addressed circulars to most OF the
counties IN the State in reference to the injury
done by the chinch bug in 1874 Although
the responses were not rs general rs desired,
vet sufficient number was received to form
basis for at least an approximately correct
average. From these select at random the
following rs illustrations; not all the worse
cases, as will be seen by inspection, but those
of all grades from mo loss up to loss OF
nine.tenths.
Cumberland County-The writer says that
the average is very great; OF his own crop,
about three.fourths destroyed.
Cass COunty-No damage done.
Edgar County-Damage to all crops about
one-eighth.
Edwards County-Damage done (the amount
not stately
Franklin County--Fully oue,half the crop
destroyed.
Efingham County-Twolhirds of the corn
crop destroyed
Hardin County-Damage considerable,
tthe amount not stated.
Marion County-Nine.tenth of the corn
destroyed.
McDonough County of corn
crop destroyed.
Menard County-Crops damaged (propor-
ton not stately
Pratt County-One.twentieth of all the
crops destroyed.
Schuyler County-Damage heavy, (propor.
ton not given, but loss in dollars estimated
at $150O0n)
St. Clair County--Damage fully sixty per
cent.
Washington County-Tbe loss onetourthI
of all the crops.
Now let us take these ratios of loss, and by
comparing them with the average crop as
given by the Secretary Of the State Agrlcul-
tural Society, in his circular of August 10Th,
1876, see what per cent. the loss will be, and
