The Grasses.

Timothy is especially meadow grass.
and is not adapted for pastures, unless un-
der unusually good and skilful manage

Its root is dubious and annually renews IT.
self by offsets, from which proceed the true
fibrons roots which support the plant. If
these bulbs, which are at or sometimes
above the surface of the ground, become
dried BY excessive heat or want Of mcis-
tire when the plant has received a serious
check BY the cutting, they are apt to die,
and the grass then runs ont, as il Is call
ed /: begins. in fact, to become thin upon
she ground, end finally disappears in broad
s4ots. leaving a weak, scattered growth.
lpoR this habit Of growth depends very
nnch the proper treatment BY which alone

many years.
Orchard grass is certainly second only to
timothy as hay grass, and preferable as
feeding or temporary pasture grass Il has
4 broad leaf. and Is bunehy and Of thick
growth. II is very early grass, and
thrives everywhere where timothy, viii,
and in places where it viii not. But it Is
a well-known fact that mixed crops pro
ducc the heaviest yields, and We prefer
mixture Of grasses even for hay. And
these should be chosen with view TO even
maturity for cutting. Timothy is a late
grass, but Is nearly always cut too late, and
when past its prime. Red-top mixes well
with timothy, making thick bottom and
tending to force the former TO a tall growth.

value Of Corn cobs.


Few farmers stop to consider how much
of fertilizing matter is annually wasted
about the farm, nor of the expense incur
red in purchasing the same material in 9th
er FORMS Thus in the apparently insignifi-
can't matter of corn cobs is an item worth
saving. If the accumulation of corn cobs
were gathered up and thrown into the hcg
pen, they would, by the next spring, be re
auced to manure. 1t has been estimated
In the corn cobs grown in this country last
year were upwards of two hundred thous-
and pounds of potash. Where corn cobs
are used in lighting fires at the farm house,
the potash may be saved in the increased
value of the ashes.
1t is weIl-known that the different varie-
ties of wood, when burned, yield varying
proportions of potash. At the head of the
list in the production of potash stands the
willow hence its ashes are of superior
value in this respect, yet corn cobs contain
double the amount of potash carried In the
willow so, in this manner, We may approx
innate the value of the ashes obtained in
the burning of corn cobs, and preserve the
same for future use in the fertilization OF
the soil of the farm.
Successful farming is commonly the re
suit of careful attention to little things, to
the economical use of the smallest element
Of value. Hence, even the corn cobs, with
their product of potash, are worthy the at
tention of the practical and thrifty farmer.
The enormous cost to the farmer of potash
whether in his barnyard manure, in his
commercial fertilizers, or in his more direct
purchases of potash in one form or another
renders the economical utilization of
corn cobs matter of some importance. 1t
is but a few years since most of our New
England farmers thought they could pGr-
chase Western corn cheaper than they could
raise superior article on their own farms
but when the proper methods of utilizing
the fodder were understood, the advisable
ity of growing their own corn became ap-
parent Again, as an additional argument
in favor of corn raising here, even though
small one, We have the fact that every
hushel Of corr cobs contains upward Of a
pound Of potash And in conclusion, II
the growing Of corn makes a draught upon
the soil for the necessary potash, how i'm
portant that some method should be adop-
ted. through proper use Of the corn cobs-

from whence It was drawn.-Amer'caa

Clean Potatoes.

A Farmers Wife writes to the Cam
fry Gentleman in favor of using leaves as
fertilizer for potatoes, as it causes, she
says, the growth Of a crop of potatoes clean
from scab and roughness. She writes thus:
ssThe other day friend told me how TO
prevent potatoes being so rough and seab-
by. Two years before, his brother, small
farmer, fell short of manure, and set his
wits TO work to provide cheap substitute.
He had manured part of his potatoes in
the hill. He had a quantity of forest
leaves that he had used to bank his house,
piled up in the barnyard; 50 for the lack
Of something better, he finished manuring
his potatoes with the leaves. These pota-
toes grew fully as well were as large and
had more blossoms than those manured
from the compost heap When he har-
vested them the contrast was more mark
ed. The potatoes were more uniform in
size, larger and more of them, and they
were perfectly smooth.
