] planted a few strawberry seeds about six
weeks ago, and many young plants came up, but
are fast disappearing; they To die away dur
ing night have them carefully covered during
night; also shaded from the sun. How can save
them ?-Amelia, Lancaster county, Pa.
Ans. Leave them fully exposed to the night
air, and only shade them during the hottest and
brightest sun; but, above all, they should not be
covered at night and this applies TO all kinds Of
young seedlings at this season.
What is the matter with my crabapple trees? I
set out five trees three years ago and two of them
have died since they started this spring, and the
others look sickly and do not seem TO grow any,
L. 7. r., Columbia Miss
Ans. Probably the borers have got at the
stem just above the surface OF the ground.
Crabapples are especially liable to be thus de-
stroyed.
What is the experience OF farmers with regard to
setting pests, whether they last longer top end
down or butt END DOWN. s. s., Iowa.
Ans We have seen it frequently stated by
those who have tried it, that it seems to make
no difference whatever 10 their durability which
end is down.
Can you give any reason why 1t is that our best
grass. timothy, IL held in such low esteem in
Europe? is IL because we DO not know what good
hay IL that told our hay is Indifferent is
it because the farmers abroad do not know the
value Of hay we know IL. Perhaps if some one
would give timothy and other grasses trial there
il would benefit theIn.--Jonnthan, Erie county Pa
Ans. Timothy seems to make better hay here
than it does in Europe. The principal grasses
used there for hay are, we believe, varieties OF
rye grass. Doubtless timothy has been tried in
Europe, seeing that it is native of that coun,
try.
