which grass seeds are harvested and
threshed. The oll-fashioned way In
which blue grass seed was gathered Vas
with large hand comb, with which the
seeds were combed from tho standing
blue grass, deposited in basket, and
then packed for sale. + notify was cut
with q cradle, bound in bundles, and set
up in ricks to bleach in dews and sun,
preparatory to being threshed. In this
way they were thoroughly dried, and in
no danger oftheir vitality being de
stroyed by mold.
Latterly grass seeds are raised in much
larger fields, go that the owners could af-
ford to procure the new-fangled
machinery Tor harvesting and threshing.
Even in Iowa farmers are devoting farms
of from 1900 to 5000 acres to producing
grass seeds. When the seed is ripe and
before 1t is 80 dead ripe as to scatter
from the head, it is cut with header,
and either hauled TO the thresher or to
the stack. In either case it is so damp
thatit heats in the stack or in bulk after
threshed and cleaned. And no amount
of care or rrecaution will prevent it's Vi
tally being seriously impaired. And q
large amount of the failures in timothy,
blue grass and clover to grow when sown
can be traced to this cause. A farmer
just beginning cannot avoid buying seed,
but old farmers who get caught with poor
co numerical seeds of this kind are not to
be pitied. They should raise their own.
But while seedsmeR cannot guarantee
this class of seed. vet they should as far as
possible discourage the present practice
of wholesale flooding the markets with
defective seeds.

Swiss Dairying.


Our consul at Zurich Mr.. S. III. NJ. By
ers, in an interesting official report on
Swiss dairy farming, indicates the high
dairy qualities of the Swiss cows by sta
ting that at the international cattle show
in Paris in 1878, every Swiss COW exhi-
bited bore off prize, although there
were competitors from England, Hol-
land, Denmark and other famous cattle
and milk-producing districts OF Europe;
and yet 'those fine milk and butter-pro-
ducing animals ofSwitzerland are fed only
on grass and hay the year through" High
feeding on grain. bran, meal, oil cake,
ensilage and boiled fodder, so greatly re-
lied on in England and the eastern parts
ofthe United States for large products,

low, dark and warm stone stables, with
walls two feet thick. not only all the win

their owners urging that the dis
comfort of confinement in warm wealth
er is compensated for in the exemption
from flies which harass animals running
in. pastures. All the feed is taken to the
animals. In the summer they are given
as much fresh cut grass as they can eat,
and in the winter about thirty pounds
of hav day each. A Swiss acre Of grass
land on the lake of Enrich is worth three
hundred dollars to four hundred dollars,
and it is estimatrd that one and a half to
two acres produce sufficient grass, green
and dried for one COW. The milk issold

Defective Seeds.

AS farmers, gardeners and florists are
about preparing for next springs plant
ing, q little talk aboute defective seeds.
and how far seedsmen are responsible,
would be- in season. There are many
reasons why seedsmen cannot and
should not guarantee seeds to grow. The
condition of the soi!-too dry or too wet
planted too deep or too shallow, ETC.,
are defects the owners of the soil are
unwilling to acknowledge as the cause
of failure Of see,is. And yet these are
the most prolific causes which
would financially ruin any scotsman
who made all indiscriminate guarantee
that the seeds sold by him would germin-
ate. Apart from this, there are an abun-
dance of inducements to prompt seeds
man to exact the most dilige nee to fur
nish the best quality Of seedc. The pros
perity Of his business DEEPEN DIS on this,
and it is by the good reputation the
great seedsmen Of the United States
have attained, thst such colossal for
tunes have been made. Jjut no seeds
man can risk guaranteeing the vitality
of the seeds he sells.
But there is one thing all seed stores
ought to do, and which ia no more than
reasonable which they should be com.
PEELED to do, and that 10 to ne held r q
name and to be of the improved quality
they repre- ent them TO be. This may
be a hardship in soma cases, but it is 80
important that seedmen should al
ways know with whom they are dealing
and know them to be reliable men NOR
ally and financially. In olden time this
was not So important, as there was but
little advance iii the improved quality of
vegetables, flowers and field seeds. Now
this question is the all important one,
and failure by wilfulness or careless.
with the severest penalties.
Oflate years there have been serious
CO nplaints, and justly too, Of the failure
Of grass seeds to terminate. Much Of
this d caused By the changed msnner in
