Agricultural,



The practice of fall seeding with grass is
growing in favor in this section. On dry soils,
where the grass is not liable to winter-kll, but
where spring-seeded grass is likely to be burn
ed out should n midsummer drouth occur,
there is no doubt that fall-seeding is prefera-
ble Perhaps fall seeding will be found to
succeed best on most soils. With fall seeding,
the grass being more advanced, the ground is
more shaded, and the roots have struck deep
er in the soil before the beginning of tho sea-
son when it is most exposed to injury from
drouth, and it is consequently able to with
stand dry season that would kill spring
seeded grass 1t is not recommended, of
course, to SOW clover at any other season than
in the spring. That seeding to grass in the
fall is becoming general practice is indicated
by the following statement from the American
Cultivator in reference to the sales of grass
seed:
visit to the different seed stores o few
years ago revealed the fact that the great bus
mess of the trade in grass seeds was transact
ed in the spring rather than in the fall that,
in fact, the great bulk of the seeding was in
the spring, while seeding in the fall was really
the exception and not the rule. Now, how
ever, we note decided change in this vicini-
ty in favor of fall seeding. One of the lead
ing seed stores of Boston expects to sell more
grass seed this fall than was sold by them in
the spring. Their fall sales of grass have
been slowly increasing for several years past,
but for the last two or three years the increase
has been 80 rapid that they now prepare for
a large fall trade. Those who contemplate
seeding this fall should bear in mind that the
sooner they get in the seed the better. Seed
sown on or before the first of September will
make a good growth before winter sets in, and
the grass will make an early start next spring.
Quite number of lots within our personal OBJ
servation, which were seeded early last fall,
were cut this spring before some of the older
seeded lots were ready for cutting, yielding
very good crops, and now bidding fair to
give heavy crops of rowen A bushel of red
top with a peck and half of timothy, to the
acre, is about the right quantity to SOW, with
about six pounds of red clover early in the
spring. Sometimes, on account of the crops
coming off late in the fall, the grass seed can
not be got in till spring. Where it is intend
ed to seed down after late potatoes or corn, it
is best to pillow and prepare the land so that
in the spring the seed can be sown early and
pushed in. In such cases the clover can be
sown with the grass seed, and this method
will give good crop of hay the following
summer, though it will be later than any 9TH
or grass on the farm; yet it will be sufficient
ly in advance of the weeds to DO cut before
they blossom.

ing the fruit These trays are made of gal
vanized iron wire, and hold bushel each,
spread an inch and half thick. There are
thirty of them to each tower When the
thermometer indicates $50 degrees of heat
tray of fruit is slid in on the lower Stats and
carried up by means of rope over the pull
ley five inches. In seven minutes and half
another tray is slid in, and so on during the
twenty-four hours. When the first tray put
in reaches the top in the second story of the
building, IL is taken of and emptied by a
hand stationed there for that purpose. The
fruit is bleached by burning limestone under
it before it is put in the ovaporator. Provi-
sion for proper distribution of the hot air
and to dispose of excess of moisture is made
by Aanges along the inside Of the tower. II

three minutes in time, or few degrees Of

and mines, and to old countries where fruit

EyaDOrated ApDIes,

The desiccated apples have quite taken the
place of the old-fashioned dried apples, hay
ing much more flavor, being light-colored,
and, what is not small matter, being free
from the dirt of flies and other foul matter,
which must of necessity accumulate upon APP
pies dried on the old slow process in the open
air. The Empire State Agriculturist describes
the process of drying as it is pursued at an
eyaporating establishment at Spencerport, N
Y, in which 10, GOA bushels of apples (mak-
ing S5,337 pounds of beautiful white fruit
were dried last fall and winter, and shipped
to Russia. Five of these evaporators are now
put up in one building; the average work of
each will be 100 bushels, or 100 TO 500 bush
els day for all, and $1,000 to 10000 bushels
during the season:
''The fruit is pared, cored and sliced at one
operation. Two girls work together in "a
team, one running the machine and the 9TH
er trimming the slices and putting them on
the tray ready for the evaporator Each
team prepares from twenty to twenty five
bushels day, and thirty bushels have been
done by one of the teams in nine hours.
They receive six cents a bushel for their
work. The evaporator consists of a tower
sixteen feet high and five feet square. I'm
der this tower is a hot air furnace enclosed in
a double brick wall, An iron belt or chain
ON each side of the tower runs over a roller
or pulleys, up on the inside and down on the
outside, with stats or cross-bars five inches
apart TO receive and hold the trays contain
