SCOURGING AWAY SECTION

1t is one Of the wonderful laws Of
wonderful nature that no i'll is alb
solutely unmiNed with good. In
the Oriental countries where the
threshing fail is used there is a
proyerb-"Blow the wind as it may
it is certain to suit some ones barn
floor" SO out of the wailing and
distress, and tho black Bosom of
death in the valley Of the Missis-
sippi, already have grown the beau
tiful plants of good Fellowship,
and Brotherly kindness, which let
us hope are to prove the harbingers
of a real reconciliation between the
sections. Certainly the contribu-
tons of Northern men and North
ern corporations have been charita-
bic, and spontaneously so, to a sur
prising degree. Probably never in
the history of the world were
money contributions so literally
rendered. 1t is true that the great
cities of the North can give ten
thousand for every dollar OF our
war-wasted section; but when 1T is
remembered that the gift on their
part is to a distant people, whom
they have been taught from child
hood (of the present g%eneration)
to hate with all the bitterness Of Il
political and sectional feud, the
generosity and benevolence becomes
a noble attribute. 1t is an unfortu-
nate mistake into which all OF us
are apt to fall to estimate the en-
tire Northern people by the leaders;
the noisy "bloody-shirt," "moral
Idea" politicians, and newspapers;
forgetting that nearly every North
ern State is almost evenly divided
on party issues, and that even OF
those who vote for the blatant,
south-hating leaders, there are
thousands Of honest folk who at
heart bear us no malice, and are
ready to lend a helping hand in
time Of need.-R. A. 5.

descend to different depths. and
enrich the soil more equally by the
supply dense turf.
Time and Manner Of Seeding.
The most common practice Is 10
seed to grass with some grain crop.
The only advantage Of this Is the
saving of labour by sowing two
crops at one ploughing. The a
vantage is the Sh ding and retard-
ing of the grass by the overgrowth
of the grain. All crops dry up to
the soil. BY the leaves pumping up
the water through the stems and
scattering it to the winds. Hence,
after the first terminating process,
while the earth Is yet wet III spring.
the grain crop is detrimental. 1t
requires more Iabour, but isenough
better repay it, to prepare the land
late in the fall, and SOW grass very
early in spring. with nothing else.
If well seeded on rich soil. the
young plants viii quickly spring
up, and soon be out Of the reach of
drouth. 1t viii make Il good crop
the first year. If not sown quite
early it will be likely to FAIL. Or,
for any hardy grasses. IN equally
good and perhaps better time Is
early in autumn, after a grain crop
has been harvested from the land.
If the autumn is moist, 1t Will make
a good growth before winter, and
bring a heavy crop next year.
Top-dressing with or
compost IN autumn greatly I'M

parts of the manure wash into the
soil and enrich lit protects the
roots from cold winds and expo

succeeding summer. The product
Of grass fields has been doubled by
repeated top dressing.
Irrigation, where it can be prac-
tised, is always advantages. Flood
ing grass lands with muddy water
early in spring, by passing swollen
| streams over FIRE hly ploughed
loan, has greatly increased the
crop. 1t effects a fine, ever mulch
