of seed per acre, and the following spring an
addition of from four to six quarts of red clo-
yer per acre. The red clover is the greatest
root fertilizer of any of our plants OF grasses.
The roots of well set acre of clover con-
tain 1856 pounds nitrogen, 240 pounds of lime.
45 magnesia. Is potash, 10 pounds of soda, "a
sulphur, and 70 pounds phosphoric acid, on
which the timothy and other glasses are lux
uriating.
The white clover and green grass often
have much company, as a great number OF
grasses may sometimes be occupying the same
ground. In low, moist grounds herd grass or
red top, in the absence of good drainage,
may be sown TO good advantage, and in
some rare places by very rich soil, orchard
grass might meet with favor If thickly sown.
In order to make up deficiency of the hay
crop the Hungarian grass is valuable sub
stitute. This grass, if sown in good, well
prepared soil, will in about fifty days make
from two to three tons per acre of excellent
hay, if properly cured without rain, that will
be eaten greedily by horses and cattle, but
should you be SO unfortunate as to have it
wet once or twice, while curing, its good
qualities will be very much impaired; much
more than crop of timothy, or other gras-
ses, yet all kinds are seriously injured by be-
Ing wet while having the moisture evaporated.
The Portland daily press., 1878-02-05

A correspondent of the american Farmer,
in an article on farmers flowers, holds, and
very truly, that roses stand first. OF these it
is Claimed that Bourbons stand at the head
OF the list. 1t should, however, be remem-
bered that these, as well as teas, must be
thoroughly protected during winter, as the
Prairie Farmer has heretofore described.
vi the Bourbons our contemporary says;
Though they have not the size and bright
color OF many of the remontants, they are
constant boomers, and grow well on any
sound rich soil. They have not the delicate
beauty and fine odor of the teas, but they
are far harder and mostly strong growers
There are some fine tea roses that are COM
paratively hardy, and also few remontants,
like Victor Verdier and Geant des BATTLES,
that bloom quite freely.
Other desirable and hardy shrubs are the
Weigelias, in color from pure white to dark
purple, and some varieties bloom both in the
spring and fall. Then the many varieties of
sprireas, mostly white, but in few instances
pink and rosy blush. The large plant of
spirea grandflora in bloom is one of the
handsomest white Powered shrubs grown,
The new clematises, when they get cheaper.
will become everybody's plant, quick growth,
Clean foliage, flowers from white to purple,
from enc to six inches in diameter, single
and double, and often with some varieties
blooming twice. Taking them every way,
know OF nothing to compare with them,
either as pillar-runner or to cover an arbor
or unsightly clubhouse. The Deutzias are
beautiful hardy shrubs. The old pyrns
Japonica in its varieties are also beautiful.
To cover large space, the Wisteria cannot
be excelled as runner. Then there are
several varieties of liacs, p@onias, for making
grand show, stand at the head. All shades
from white to purple. Phlox decussata,
blooms from May to August, with large heads
oil bloom sometimes over six inches in dame
ter. The old flag Girls Germanica) has been
wonderfully improved, and does well in any
moist place. The herbaceous varieties of the
larkspure (Delphinium Formosum) are very
beautiful with their dark blue flowers.
Chrysanthemums, of nearly every color but
blue close up the season. I could have added
to this list many other hardy herbaceous
plants and shrubs. These are particularly
adapted to the farmers gardens, because they
are handsome in flower, hardy, and when
once planted can can remain In the same
place three or four years. A good way to get
up nice flowers garden cheaply,is for three or
four parties to join in purchasing plants; one
buying phlox, another chrysanthemums, and
so on. If well cared for, in a years time
each plant can be divided into dozen. and
then exchanges can be made.

Treatment Of Cuttings.

In house culture, cuttings should not be
started before the month of February. Plants
from cuttings then taken will, if well grown,
be large enough to furnish cuttings themselves
by the middle of April, which will in turn be
good plants for bedding out the last of May.
If hot-bed is obtainable, cuttings may be
raised in great quantities. About the middle
of April plunge pots full of cuttings in a gen.
tie hot bed; they will root in few days, and
may then be ported of. They should then be
grown in cold frame, with plenty OF air in
fine weather, and by the middle of May they
will be fine stocky plants for the GARDEN
american CuItiUdtor.

Pasture aud Feeding Grasses.

j. Sharpess, in the Kentucky Liue Stock
Record, writes as follows:
Good crops OF grass are very desirable to all
farmers who depend upon dairying or feeding
cattle as specially, particularly the former.
The best and most desirable grass in addition
to red clover and timothy is Kentucky blue
grass. In order to have the latter in profu-
sion, the ground, properly prepared and well
manured and sown with wheat about the
middle of September, should be sown with
timothy at the rate of from six to ten quarts

st Paul Business Men at Duluth.

In Mondays GLOBE exclusively appeared
the announcement that Mr. A. G. Foster, of
this city, had become partner in the
Duluth branch of the firm of Griggs & John
son, whose headquarters are at 80 East
Third street, St. Paul. The Duluth Tribune.
in speaking of Mr.. Fosters accession to the
company, says the firm is preparing to carry
on business this year on scale immensely
larger than last,'' and adds:
'This firm, as we have said, was engaged
in business here last year, and it is SO well
satisfied with its experience, that it feels
abundantly warranted in branching out still
further. Griggs & johnson, are. as is
well-known, the heaviest coal dealers in the
State, and they will still continue to deal in
that commodity, landing the most
of their coal OH the Northern Pacific
docks at this place, which docks they have
leased for that purpose. Their -four, feed
and cattle business will be carried on from
the spacious dock property recently pur-
chased by them at great bargain, formerly
belonging to the estate of Pitt Cooke. That
this firm proposes to engage heavily in the
cattle trade for Duluth and other Lake Su-
perior ports, is shown by the fact that it has
now in its employ, two Of the sharpest and
most experienced cattle buyers in the State
Of Minnesota.
The business Of this firm in -four will
also be very heavy. Griggs, Johnson &
roster have an abundance Of capital and ex-
pect to put in $75, 900 in cash, aud more if
necessary N their business done through this
city. They will thus he enabled to take adj
vantage OF the market, and to buy for cash;
ana, shipping as largely as they will thew
can OF course, get better rates in the Wav Of
fse'ght than smaller dealers, and consequent
