How to Get Q Crop Of Grass.

The best way is not the usual way,
which is to smuggle the grass seed in
with q crop of small grain. At least, the
way it often turns out, the grass is
smothered out and dried out by the
summers drouth and heat. Of course
seeding of grass under such circum-
stances is not likely to be all lost. A
portion of the plants will survive. and
the year following the seeding will show
some evidences Of grass, though none
such as should appear, the object being
to get good sod without undue delay.
To get an early, strong setting, such as
will, the second season, produce a crop
sufficient to pay for the cutting and saw
ing, the seed should be sowed upon q
mellow, well-prepared soil, as the frost
goes out, because the surface cracks
open, giving an excellent opportunity
for the seed to enter to the right depth.
The soil is then moist, and is kept so by
the outgoing frost, and the termination
of the seed is an assured thing, on the
first approach of spring weather. Some
advise waiting till the ground is dry,
first going over with harrow, then SOW
ing the seed and narrowing again, but
we think it better plan to sow earlier
than this, thus giving the seed a chance
to swell, and the sprout to start; then,
when the ground has somewhat dried of
go over it with the roller; use the har-
row once over. 1t is hardly probable
that the sprout will be so far pushed out
as to be damaged by the harrow, yet for
all seasons which call for any attention
to the surface at the time named, the
roller is the proper instrument TO use.
The reasons are mainly that in soil as
porous as our Western soils are the
minute grass roots, when the seed first
sprouts, are so delicate that they cannot
at once reach out and seize upon the
soil, open and loosely disposed as it is.
The roller overcomes all this difficulty,
packing the soil as it does about the
seeds, breaking clods and smoothing the
surface. On lands that are already set
in grass, the roller is a most beneficial
implement to use, as the surface can in
no way be so well finished off as by its
use. The arguments against sowing
grass seeds with a crop of small grain
are that you deprive the land of the rest
which it oftener requires than it gets,
and you often pretty nearly spoil what
might have been an excellent start OF
grass. to secure tolerable crop of grain
on which you make no profit worth the
name. Estimate as nearly as you
can the gain by giving the land its
needed rest, and the very great gain in
the prospect of getting an early start to
your grass, placing these opposite the
very meagre profit you make upon the
small grain you grow in connection with
the grass. and we think you will hardly
see any advantage to come of the double
crop.-Western Farm Journal.

There are . great many people
who imagine that they are as much
benefited by sitting in an open window
or by putting the head out Of an open
window as BY taking walk or ride.
All such thoughtless people should be
advised that opening . window into .
warm room creates at once . strong
draught. and that to sit in draught Is
almost sure to produce . cold. As inn
portant as fresh air is ono might better
avoid it than to take it under such cir
cumstances.-Dr. Foote's Hcalth Month

In addition to the above, appropria-
tions amounting to nearly million and
a half of dollars annually are required to
carry out the provisions of treaties which
stipulate that the United States shall
make specific allowances to certain In
dians % during the pleasure Of the Pres
ident." As the Indians have no vested
rights in these allowances the value
thereof can not be determined. They
may be worth twenty years purchase or
only one years, accordingly as the Pres
ident pleases to decide and Congress
pleases to provide the money so give ef-
feet to the decision.
