they cannot furnish it, Can you inform me
where can get it? My land is very rich
and think it will do better than timothy,

We do not know of any place where blue
JOINT seed is kept for sale, yet it is produced
in great abundance on number of our VAL
leys. The Missouri valley produces fine
blue.joint hay and there are several mea-
dows that are mixed with other grasses, but
we have yet to hear of any farmer threshing
out the seed for market, or even to sow his
own land with, although we believe it
would he proitable to do so. The reason
Mentanians have given no attention to this
matter is that most of the bench lands will
seed to blue.joint in couple of years by
simply irrigating. This is the manner in
which the blue-joint meadows of Montana
have been produced. Much of the bench
land is set in blue.joint naturally, yet owing
to the fact that there is an insufficiency of
rain it seldom seeds. By furrowing this off
and running water through the turrows, or
flooding the land thfSG or four times during
the season, halt crop may be raised the
first year, and the second year the growth
will be good. If any of our farmers have
taken the pains to save blue-joint seed, they
Will confer favor Upon our correspondent
and others by letting it be known.

not require prophetic eye to see that the

consider this matter and unite in recon-,

method OF protection? We have often urged
this matter, but our Representatives refused
10 act because not supported by the farmers.
But we think the time has now surely come
when they will see this matter in its true
light and advocate this much needed pro-
lection to the tinny tribe. The cost of
screen will not be more than one, two or
three dollars, and any farmer can get more
than the worth of this any season by one or
two days fishing. 1t may be arranged by
way of experiment not to put the screens in

date trash and debris is about through run

over them, however, we can see nothing
new of any value, and the others have been
known to every farmer and gardener, who
has had some years of experience, long
enough to give them trial and to reap any
benefit from them attainable We fancy
that. except to new beginners, few people
suffer from the various insects to which
their trees and crops are subjected, without
to all the established means of protection;
and when they do not, it is because the rem
edy ''cOsts more than it comes to-" or they
are willing to run the risk of any damage
that might be suffered. In a number of in
stances OF assured remedies that have
come under our notice this season, they are
so transparently valueless as to do more in
jury by their publication than good and
the very fact of their being printed as some
to the general suspicion of the uselessness
of others that possess solid merit and
means of real benefit to the farmer and gar
dener. Publishers should, therefore, be
careful in at least glancing over the many
recipes, filling sometimes half a column,
before printing them, and causing the read
er to be chary in putting faith in any of
them. Anone, with moderate amount of
knowledge in these matters, can readily
judge whether or not they possess, even to
slight extent, sufficient merit to warrant
their being presented to the public at ALL
Germantown Telegraph.
