Turkish Clemency to Vermin.

Grass.

We think there is more attention lust
now given to the cultivation of grasses
than heretofore. Still the most popular
of our grasses and forage plants, the
most approved seasons of sowing. and
the best modes of managing them, are
very likely to be the results of our fore
fathers best experiences, and we would
by no means hasten to inaugurate a
revolution in these matters, merely be-
cause few isolated instances show
that something better did occur in a
few cases. Yet we know that changes
are continually occurring in the circum-
stances OF agriculture. 1t may have
been that the kinds and modes of Gull
ture were not intrinsically the best, but
the best which the circumstances af-
forded, and with our changed circum-
stances why may we not find some
things better suited to US now, than the
things which our forefathers left usP
These reflections will always favor the
Isolated cases of successful change re-
ferred to, and we should always hold
ourselves open to review and re-ex-
anime even our most time-honored
practices. Sowing grass alone, instead
OF setting it with grain, is attracting
much attention in connection with the
labor question. 1t is not only the alb
solute superiority of the grass crop un-
der one or the other of these systems,
but whether the~extra labor of two
plowings will compensate for superior
lty, is one of the great considerations.
But 1T is well-known fact that when
gram and grass are sown together, the
grass does not grow very strong in con-
sequence OF the struggle with the grain,
and hence strong weeds get chance to
compete with the grass. In this case,
the weeds soon conquer the legitimate
occupants, and in a year or two the
owner finds his grass has run out, and
ne has to break it up again for corn or

Fruit Trees on Lawns.

We have often said, plant fruit trees
for ornamental trees. A correspondent
of the Gardeners Chronicle puts the
question: ''Why are not fruit trees
more generally planted on lawns for
ornamental purposesp" The idea seems
TO prevail that fruit trees must be con-
fined to the orchard or kitchen garden;
yet what can be more beautiful than
the pale pink and white of the apple
blossom. the pure white of the cherry
and pear, and the deep rose of the
peach? Cherry trees literally white
with blossoms are of no rare sight. and
what is more charming than the grace
full branches clad in spotless purity.
Then, too, the ripe fruit, in thick clus-
tiers upon them, is no less pleasing to
the eye than gratifying to the taste.
There are many species and varieties
of trees which are planted in yards and
lawns, which have no more slightly APP
pearance than an apple tree, without its
wealth of fragrant bloom, or it's show
ers of luscious fruit. On the Continent
fruit trees are planted along the sides
Of highways and lanes, and the fallen
produce is looked upon as common
property, provided the traveller does
not trespass for it. Even in sub
urbs Of cities and large towns, where
but a few feet of land is allotted to each
home, and where one would suppose
that every inch of room would be made
available, the front yards are planted
with evergreen trees, or purely orna-
mental shrubs, to the utter exclusion of
apple. pear or plum trees-any of which
would be far preferable in every re-
spect. "-Boston Traveller.
