Hungarian Grass.


The hot weather Of 1876, has done
much towards popularizing this forage
plant, for it loves the heat and endures
drought far better than does the ordi.
nary grasses. The farmer who had a
poteoA Of his field in this crop last year
found heavy yields, and abundant
recompense, and the influence Of the
favoring season has been TO lead very
many to talk of trying Hungarian on a
larger scale Of planting than formerly.
We have known crops Of four tons per
yaere. @t.
We are glad to see the use Of this crop
extending, for We believe that under
proper culture, it possesses much value.
1t requires to be sown late, when the
ground is warm, and the nj hts do not
chill. From the Goth of June to the
lst of July, is a good time, although it
may even be putin later, for the crop
natures ready to cut in about six weeks
from planting. On account of this
popularity, the farmer who finds his
grass crop failing, can cut what early
hay is grown, and can then turn his
field over with the plow aud SOW Hun.
gariaD. In doing this, he ensures winter
feed for his stock, and the failure Of the
grass crop need not bring such keen DIS
appointment. Hungarian grass is
therefore, in one way Of looking at il,
an insurance crop. f.--
We frequently meet with farmers
Who condemn this grass, and with
others who laud il. We usually say,
well, you sowed your nees thick or thin,
as the case may be, aud haye usually
been correct in eur judgment. When
sown thinly. it is apt TO grow coarse,
stocky fodder, little relished BY cows,
and thus reckoued oflittle value by the
farmer. If sown thickly, and cut early
the fodder IL ine in stalk, and isrellshed
by cows, giving satisfaction TO the
grower and eater.
Thus beth she farmer who condemns
and he who praises may be correct in
his opinion, but they are pronouncing
on different articles, and like the knights
effable, who contested over the color
OF a shield, found as they lay dying on
tho ground, that both were RICH, Is one
, side was silver and the other gold. II
is thus that half knowledge usually
leads to erroneous action.
We recommend bushel Of seed to
the acre, on rich ground. On poorer
ground the quantity may be decreased.
Yet fertile land Is desirable for this crop,
as we'll as others, and dress Of dung or
e. fertilizer will be apt to bSpg lis reward
in q thick and iuxurant crop. AZ
Hungarian is more Difficult crop TO
harvest tdhn hay. Always cut during
sdry time if possible, for it will take
thres good hay day to prepare for the
barn. We do not always, however have
out choice. for as the crop ripens very
rapidly. .and should be cut when just in
blossom, q little delay at the critical

Though the various results Of this
trial, as given in The rePort.do not ex
coed twenty four in number, ii will be
found, on investigation. that there
are more than fifty distinct results
flowing from it,and that each separate
results has a definite and positive val
ne. In its special bearing on the fer
ulizers and the crops to which 1t 1T
lates, this experiment is uncomnonly
fruitful 10 instructive figures. 1t is
alive with intelligent thought, and fair
ly sparkles with the light of practical
wisdom.
1t appears from the above figures
that the net profit on the seven fer'll'
izers, if the plots bad been one acre
each. would have been 500 over thr
cost, and further that if, instead Of
seven fertilizers, the best one only had
been used, the profit would have been
S2l6. 10 other words, if Mr.. Garter
had known, at the planting of his
wheat, Just what he knew when he
harvested the corn, he might have
cleared from seven acres $l2O more
than he did. That is, he actually
made profit equivalent to 500, III
finding ont how to make S2lG. This
certainly does BOT show that expert
menis in farming are always made at
loss, as we are too apt to suppose
