much concerned to make it appear that
wherever two or three Republicans are
gathered together there is disco1d in the

Pasture and Meadow Grasses.

Colenel +. D. Curtis, in American Agriculturist.
For a pasture, variety Of grasses should Be
selected adapted to the land and the purpose
of the pasture. Timothy lPhleum pratensel,
is the poorest of the cultivated varities of pas
ture grasses, as it makes very little leaf her
bage, and after the steams have mat1red the
after growth or aftermath is small It is the
best grass for meadows of any single variety.
both for yield and market, being better suited
to horses than cattle. 1t is among the poor
est for sheep. The best single grass for
e%ratat. This is also the earliest, except
the small blue grass (PIoa pratensis), SO COM
mon IN old pastures, dooryards and along the
highways. Orchard grass is valuable for its
prompt renewal after either cutting or grazing,
and for its permanency, being superior to Tim.
unless it is Red-Top tAgrostis vulgaris), on
rich land it will furnish a fresh bite in three
days. No other grass is equal to it in this re-
spect, 1t should always be allowed to produce
an aftermath before cold weather sets in, or
the crowns will freeze and die. The after
math acts as a protection and is necessary in q
cold climate. 1t will not, however, cut so
readily as either timothy or clover, owing to
the form and ~tenacity OF the roots, which are
long and hbrous, and grow in punches. The
any other grass: An orchard grass sod al
ways makes mellow land, as the roots pen
citrate to a great depth and loosen up the
sub-soil. The roots of timothy are small
and OF shallow growth. hence are easily
thrown out by frost and make a weak sod
Orchard grass is not 30 well adapted for mead
ows as other varieties. It ripens at an in
convenient time, before the Spring work is fin
lshed, and does not produce SO large a crop or
as good a quality. Unless cut when in BIOS
som it is hard and woody. Timothy is much
better if cut when the seed is beginning to
form Timothy will flourish either on dry nm.
land, or low land if it does not heave with the
frost, SO as to throw out the bulbs. Orchard
grass is also adapted to any variety of soils
except very wet land. Red-top grows well on
moist land, even if it overtiows, and it will also
do well on dry land. 1t makes hay Of excel
lent quality, good for any kind of stock, being
softer in its texture than either Timothy OF
orchard grass, and Ighterin proportion to the
bulk. II il next, if not equal, to orchard grass

They Went West,

We sometimes receive inquiries from
young men and boys concerning oppor.
tunities for business in the West, and
the best course to be followed in order
to ensure success there. A brief &C.
count Of two lads who, to mend their
fortunes, went west from the city OF
New York, will give y general answer,
that is applicable to all cases.
Frank Walden and James Carr were
employed in q retail store on -Four
teenth Street, New York City. They
had each saved over five hundred dol
lars with which to go West, and both
Of them left the store at the same time,
Frank declared that he might 90 to
the backwoods, but he would always be
o gentleman, and would travel and live
like one" He spent his money freely
for what he thought a proper outfit.
he bought a frst-class ticket to Denver
and INDUCED himself in various ways
On his way there.
Before he reached Colorado more
than a third Of his money was gone.
After reaching there lie bought land,
and took up a claim at once. Know
ing nothing whatever OF farming, he was
cheated on every hand, for the West is
full of sharpers, ready to prey on the
Ignorance OF strangers. He deserved
credit for the industry he exhibited at
this time, for he worked hard, but for
the lack of knowledge and economy,
one failure after another was made.
His crops failed. The oxen he
bought turned out unfit for use. Other
hindrances and discouragements fol-
lowed, until finally in despair, gentle-
man Frank sold his farm for a third of
what it had cost, and after idling away
q few months, turned to gambling to
make money enough to go home. He
did go home.
His fe~llow-clerk, in order to save the
cost OF his fare, found work as a porter
IN a Pullman car on the Northern Pa
cifc Railway. He not only paid Moth
ing for his passage to California, but
earned money besides. Making his
way to Southern California, he put his
savings at interest, and found work on
q sheep ranch at forty dollars a month.
There he renamed for three years, I'M
till he had thoroughly mastered the
business.
He then purchased land and stock.
taking each step cautiously, and after
close examination. He is now regard
ed as n Of the most successful small
ranchmen in Southern California.

Farm Notes,

The American Poultry Journal SAYS Iowa is
fast becoming the banner state OF the Union in
the number and quality of its pure-bred poul-
try.
An advantage that comes from training to-
matoes to ~trellises is that the fruit is exposed
to air and sun greatly to the improvement OF
its quality.
In training colts the aim must be to supplant
all wild and needless passions, by affection for
the master, combined with a fear of the voice
or whip, only to be avoided or escaped by ODE
dience.
The raspberry crop is SO large this season in
Ulster county, N. y, that the factories which
make the cups in which the berries are shipped
are unable to supply the demand In antici-
had large quantities of cups on hand. which
were rapidly disposed of, and all the factories
are rnnning night and day.
Farming has not reached that state of de-
yelopment when you can say do this or do that
and you can have q crop of SO many bushels to
the acre. The farmer stands nearer to the for
ces OF nature than other classes. Clouds.
storms and winds and the mighty hurricane
make war upon his labors, and the liphtuinrs
OF heaven vent their wrath upon him, but the
GOOD Book has promised seed time and har-
'SsP, anu Us iplS MS tue sun gives heat and the
clouds moisture he will continue the struggle,
A writer in the Philadelphia Record says: IA
four-inch tire will carry two tons over soft
ground with greater ease to the team than a
two and & half inch tire will curry one ton.
The wheels are not so much strained by stones
and rough tracks on the road. and the road is
not cut up, but, on the contrary. is packed
dow and kept smooth. The prevalent idea
that the drausht is increased by widening the
tire is altogether b~aseless; on the contrary, a
wide tire reduces the draught. The extra cost
OF the tire is repaid many times over every
year IN the extra work that can be lone by a
team.
The York Times makes the sensible sugges-
tien that if the farmer will just now wend his
way to the store and procure three yards of
factory cotton for each of his cows and have it
cut to fit the back so as toform a well fitting
sheet which can be fastened around the neck
and drawn close under the belly, but leaving
the udder free, he will enjoy blessed peace
when he milks the cows. And the cows will
have equal peace in their safety from the per-
sistent flies which annoy them at milking time.
And if the hay is in danger from a sudden
storm, a dozen. or two of these sheets may do
useful duty as hay-caps to protect it from the
rain,
