see In some Of the papers lately e.
writer claiming that farmers Go not SOW
enough grass seed per acre, and saws In
substance that this fact accounts for their
failure in raising a good crop of Grass. He
claims that two bushels of timothy seed
per acre is not too much, and that a peck
or half a bushel is not enough. Now.
what has led this writer to such ideas or
conclusions 1 do not know, but i do not
hesitate to pronounce them unsound.
When / was a young man, and Just begin
ming farming for myself, one of my neigh
bOTs, an older man than myself, told me
he used q half bUshel OftimOthy seed per
acre, and thought that about right
sOWed this amount last year and ObserV-
ed that my grass crop was not as heavy
as 1 had grown before from less TO the
acre. The grass grew too thick to attain
a proper height. In other words, it was
too thick to thrive. The next year
sOWed only a peck per acre, and had bet
ed too much still to secure the best re-
turns. / reduced the quantity till 1 came
down to two quarts per acre. i am now
satisfied that three to four quarts per
acre Is enough is put In so it can grow. I
do not throw 1t on the ground and leave
1t to cover itself, or wait for the rain TO
do that. 1 cover 1t as would any other
seed that wish to grow. Now, farmers,
let us look at this matter a little. How
many seeds to the square foot would you
wish to have grow so that each stalk
may have room to grow and thrive?
Could more than one seed to the square
inch do well? / think IA seeds to one
square foot Is as heavy seeding as is de-
sirable for the best results. have seen
timothy seed come so thick that none OF
| it grew six inches high; 1t Just chOked
! one another out. Now, how much seed
must be used TO furnish one seed to the
/ square inch? A little calculation viii
answer this better than I can answer it
/ in any other way. BY actual count the
scruple weight of timothy seed contains
! :, 200 seeds; one ounce, "a, 500 seeds; one
/ pound, ! DDS, 500 seeds; one bushel, 3d.
| 296 900, seeds. One acre contains 16C
| square rods, or A, $50 square feet, or g.
/ PIP GAO inches. From the above you see
that one bushel Of seed to the acre would
be eight and eight-tenths seeds to the
inch; Of course two bushels would furnish
twice as many, or l7.6 seeds to the inch
Who wants seventeen or eighteen seeds
to one square inch2 w hat folly What
a waste of seed This is, in my opinion
prOfigacy. From the above we see that
one quart, of seed has 1.728,00O seeds
three quarts, 5,l84, 600 seeds. So that 1858
quarts of timothy seed Will make just
seed enough for one acre, sowing one
seed to the square inch.

A correspondent of the Country Gen
tteHlOIl has found ont how to make a
cheap and handy ladder for use in orch
ards, and kindly tells his brother farm
ers how he makes it. He bought at the
lumber yard a picket fence rail of good
clear pine, two inches by four, and six
teen feet long. This was tapered gradu-
ally TO about three by two inches at one
end to make IT lighter. The largest end
he mOrtised into a fOrked limb of hard
wood Cherry, the two parts Of which
formed the two spreading legs. These
! legs are about two feet long, and spread
about two feet From this fork up he
inserted, right across the long stick to
/ the top, rounds of good dry hickory,
/ spaced conveniently. These rounds are
fourteen inches long, and thus extend
six inches on each side of the upright
This completes the ladder, which Is thus
eighteen feet long, very light, very por-
table, and can be put up in any tree
/ with perfect ease.
