The best grass for a most, shaded
meadow is orchard-grass. 1t may be
sown in the spring by itself, and will be
ready for pasturing in the fall. 1t would
be advisable to sow with it an equal
quantity of blue grass. which will come
in and thicken up the bottom growth
after the second year, and will make q
late pasture for the fall. One or one
and One-half bushels of each should be
sown per acre. These seeds weigh
thirteen pounds to the bushel. Super
phosphate loses nothing by keeping over
if it is kept dry. In using it with corr
it should be scattered over the seed OIL
about it before it is covered. 1t will moi
injure any seed.-TULedo Blade.
