The Value of Grass.

The truth is being demonstrated that
grass is not secondary crop to grain,
even in Ohio, though tie grain Juror
seems to have most extraordinary hold
upon our dairy farmers at present. The
farmers in the dairy sections held on to
the old idea of not disturbing their grass
lands until the accepting of ton-to-the-
acre crops of hay came to be looked upon
as inevitable, and when grain began to
be grown the results were so surprising
that rush was made in the opposite
direction, and the value of grass, both as
stock food and a renovator of the soil.
was momentarily lest sight of. Now the
grass crop is being figured into the
profit account. The re seeding of many
of these grain fields has resulted in fail
ure because pains We're not taken in SOW
ing. With many of cur drills the grass
seed sower is in front, and as the oats are
sown, the grass seed is covered BY the
drill hvles so deep that the grass can
never come to the surface. The great
value Of our grass crops should suggest
that they be soWn as special crop, with
suitable nlanuring, such as promotes
grass growth. While clover may follow
wheat as assecondary seeding. timothy,
red top and other of our standard grasses
need separate aud special sowing and
care, and would amply compensate the
farmer by more vigorous growth, and
decreased liability of failure, for the
extra attention bestowed upon them as
a primary CROP. q. in Country Gem

FRUIT TREE CULTURE.

l. Instead of trimming up" trees,
according to the old fashion, to make
them long-legged and long armed, trim
them down, so as to make them even,
snug and symmetrical.
g. Instead of manuring heavily in q
small circle at the foot of the tree,
spread the manure, if needed at all,
broadcast over the whole surface, espec
tally where the ends of the roots can
get it.
8. Instead Of spreading a small circle
about the stem, cultivate the whole sur.
face broadcast.
4, Prefer we'll pulyerized clean sur
face in an orchard with a moderately
rich soil, to heavy nanuring and q
surface covered with a hard crust and
weeds and grass.
5. Remember that il is better 10 sci
out ten trees with all the necessary care
to make them live and flourish than tc
set out hundred trees and have them
all die from carelessness.
6. Remember that tobacco is a pois-
on, and will kill insects rapidly if pro
perly applied to them, and is one of the
best drugs for freeing fruit trees rapidly

this way than to make men repulsiye

THE SUN.
NEW YORK, 1883.

More people have read THE sun during th,
year just now passing than ever before since
it was first Trin:ed. No other newspaper pub
lished on this side of the earth has beer
bought and read in any year by so many men
and women.
We are eredibly informed that people buy
read, and like THE sun for the following
reasons, among others:
Because its news columns present in attrac-
tive form and with the greatest possible ac-
curacy whatever has interest for human kind
the events, the deeds, and misdeeds, the wis
dom, the philosophy, the notable folly, the sol
id sense, the Improving nonsense-all the
news of The busiest world Al present revolving
in space.
Because people have learned that in its re-
marks concerning persons and affairs THE
SU n makes a practice of telling them the ex.
act truth TO the best of It's ability three hun
dred and sixty Ave days in the year before cleo
ton as we'll as after, about the whales as we'll
as bout the small fish, in the face of dissent
as plainly and fearlessly as when supper ted
BY general approval. THE SUN has abso-
lutely no purposes 10 serve, save the informa-
tien of lis read-rs and the furtherance of the
common good.
Because it is everybody's newspaper. No
man is 80 humble that THE sun Is indifFer-
emit 80 his welfare and his rights. No man is
rich that it can allow injustice 10 be done
MIN. No man, no assoeia ION of men, is POW
nj enough 10 be exempt from the strict APP
plieation of iis principles of right AID wrong
Because in politics IL hiss fought for a dozen
years, without intermissi0n and sometimes
almost alone among newspapers, the fight that
has resulted in the cent overwhelming pop
ular verdict against Robpsonisn and for hon
est government. No matter what party is ia
power. The SUNsts nds and will coniirue to
stand like a rock for the interest Of the people
against the ambition Of bosses, the eueroach
~ "a
schemes Of public robbers.
All this is what we ar. told almost daily bv
our friends. 0ne mao holds that The SUx is
the best religious newspaper published because

been stocked with these fish during the
past season. Now is a good time for
farmers 10 prepare fish ponds, so as to
be ready for carp whenever they may be
sent. 1t is said to be a good plan to
put thick brush around the edges of
ponds with small carp in them, and that
the ponds should not be shallow near The
edges, as a protection against the king
fisher, which is exceedingly fond Of small
carp and is very successful in capturing
them. 1t is important to have water

Southern Planter: II is an easy mat
ter to train heifer to stand quietly to

to Jump, kick and run The way 10
train them to stand still is to require
them always to do so. If there is naught

and her fears prompt her to run, she
will run. If she cannot run. in a short
time she loses her fear, and stands from
habit and habit is one of the worst in
huences in the world for either brute or
man to overcome. If you want to
transform n wild heifer into well-be-
haved, well-trained COW, you must be
patient and exhibit no temper. Never
strike her; she must first of all, get
acquainted with you, and Learn that you
will not hurt her. She must learn not
to fear you. Ii in winter it is best 10

source of trouble. The cow naturally
wishes TO get rid Of her milk. She
stands quietly until some careless mixer
has given IL squeeze that hur.s, when she
kicks and runs. BY allowing snch Il

frmed The best way to manage, if
you have no stable, Is to have we'll

stand for milking in that; or next best,
to tie them. using them very quietly.
No man or boy is I'll to handle animals
