which grass seeds are harvested and
threshed. The OF fashioned way IN
which blue grass seed was gathered was
with large hand comb, with which the
seeds were combed from the standing
blue grass, deposited ip basket, and
then packed for sale. T notify was cut
with cradle, bound in bi1ndles, 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, so that the owners could at
ford 10 procure the new-fangled
machinery ler harvesting and threshing.
Even in Iowa fartffets are devoting farms
of from 1000 to 5000 acres to- producing
grass seeds. When the seed is ripe and
before 1t is SO dead ripe as to scatter
from the head, 1t is cut with header,
and either hauled TO the thresher or to
the stack. In either case it is 80 damp
that 1t heats in the stack or In bulk after
threshed and cleaned. And no amount
of care or precaution will prevent its vi
tality being seriously impaired. And a
large amount of the failures in timothy,
blue grass and clover to grow when sown
can be traced to this cause. A farmer
lust beginning cannot avoid buying seed,
but old farmers who get caught with poor
commercial seeds of this kind are not to
be pitied. They should raise their own.
But while seedsmen 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.

Sargent s Pren1iss

In the "reminiscences of San Old
Fogy," published in the Louisville Cour-
Ter Journal, the following description is
given of Sargent s. Prentiss: "Mr.
Prentiss was rather below than above
the medium size. and lame in his right
leg from infancy. His chest, neck and
shoulders were uncommonly full, erect
and well developed. His features, taken
together, were distinguished for manly
beauty, and marked by an expression of
unmistakable kindness and beneyolence.
His convivial habits were well known to
bis contemporaries, but they never
caused him to neglect any importan bus
mess he had on hand. He was always
himself at the bar or on the stump. No
man was ever more beloved by his init
mate friends, and most worthy was he
of their affection. No pen can describe
the charms of his conversation in mo-
ments of relaxation and social inter-
course. The effect of his eloauence still
lives in the memory of those who en-
Ioyed the rare happiness OF hearing

Defective Seeds,

AS farmers, gardeners and florists are
about preparing for next springs plant
ing, little talk about defective seeds,
and how far seedsmen are responsible,
would BIZ in season. There are many
reasons why seedsmen cannot and
should not guarantee seeds to grow. The
condition of the soiI-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 seeds. 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 seede. The pros
perity of his business Deepen de 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. But,no seeds
man can risk guaranteeing the vitality
of the seeds he sells.
But there is one thinn all seed stores

PEELED to do, and that 10 to ne held re-
sponsible for the seeds being true to
name and to be of the improved quality
they repre- ent them to be. This may
be a hardship in some 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 in the improved quality of
vegetables, flowers and field seeds. Now
this question is the all important one,
and failure by wilfulnsss or careless
ness of scotsman, should be visited
with the severest penalties.
Ofglate years there have been serious
co nplaints, and justly too, of the failure
of grass seeds to terminate. Much of
this is caused by the changed manner in

Domestic ReclDes.

BEErs AND CARRoTs.-When small beets
are boiled and cut in slices and served
in saucers at dinner, great addition
may be made by slicing some boiled car
rots with them. Do not cook the carrots
and beets together, but in separate ket-
ties. Served together each gains and
neither loses. This is a novel way OF
serving them; try it.
RABBITs-Ra which are in the
best conditions in midwinter, may be
fricasseed like chicken. in white or brown
sauce. To make pie, first stew till ten
der and make like chicken pie TIC
roast, stuff with dressing made of bread
crumbs, chopped salt pork, thyme,
onion, pepper and salt; sew up; rub
over with a little butter or pin on it q
lew slices of pork, add little water in
the pan and haste often. Serve with
mashed potatoes and current Jelly.
CHOCOLATE CAKE.-Take two cups of
sugar, one cup o sweet milk, half cup
of butter, two and one-half cups of -four,
two eggs and three teaspoonfuls of bak-
ing powder. Dissolve one third-cake of
chocolate, mix with one-half cup of the
cake, then marble through the whole.
Lady Fingers made after this recipe
are very nice for tea; they should be
eaten while fresh. Rub half pound of
butter into pound of flour: to this add
half pound of sugar, the grated rind of
one large lemon, and lastly, thee eggs,
the whites and yokes beaten separately.
and the whites stirred in after all the
other ingredients are well mixed to-
gether. This dough, if properly made,
will be stiff enough to make rolls about
the size of lady's finger; it will spread
when in the oven so that it will be of
the right size and shape. If you wish
them to be specially inviting dip them
in chocolate icing after they are baked.
Take pains to see that the icing is so
hard that it will not run, and set the
cakes on plaster in cool room until
the icing is firm.

FARM AND HOUSE.
Agricultural Items.

Farmers trying to make living off worm
out lands must stop selling their calves and
pigs, and sell at,oxen and hogs instead, and
they will soon see an improvement in the
fertility of their land aud in their bank ae-
count.
AT q Nebraska horticultural meeting the
members were invited after adjournment to
eat of the apples exhibited; and all but four
took the Ben Davis variety, and yet in quail
ity it is not tirst-rate.
Ordinary cattle can be bred without
horns by raising the skin over the
horns as signs of it first appear on the calf
and by applying hot iron. Then the flap

heals and the owner has poiled animal

cattle, can be bred without any repetition of
this operation. The operation is also
stated to be much less painful and danger

desirable, if anywhere.
Ashes are valuable es fertilizer, and

Swiss Dairying.

Our consul at Zurich Mr.. S. Ii. 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 a prize, although there
were competitors from England, Hol-
and milk-producing districts OF Europe;
and yet "those fine milk and butter-pro
ducinga 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,
are either unknown or never prac is ed
in that country. Swiss COWS are kept in
low, dark and warm stone stables, WITH
walls two feet thick. not only all the win
ter, but frequently all the summer,
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 hay day each. A Swiss acre of grass
land on the lake of Zurich is worth three
hundred dollars to four hundred dollars,
and it is estimatrd that one and half to
two acres produce sufficient grass, green
and dried for one COW. The milk is sold
by farmers at two and one-haif to three
cents quart by wholesale, and the u.s.
ual yield is two gallons to tthe COW. the
