COLUMN
Seeding, Propagation, Covering.

The most carefully seeded meadow is the
most productive. Grass seed should be
sown with winter grains, because they grow
thinner on the ground than spring grain;
.he young plants are less shaded, and the
growth forms with stronger roots, and is
better able to Withstand the hot sun and
dry weather. After harvesting the grain,
the seeding is often destroyed, because the
roots Of clover and timothy are 50
near the surface that they dry up. The
remedy is simple, but rarely used. The
grain should be narrowed into the ground
after it has settled, and is dry enough to
mellow under the harrow. Winter grain
is improved by narrowing, affordlng a
lighter soil for the spread and growth Of the
roots, covering the field with stronger
growth, consequently increasing the yield.
This process insures the certainty Of grass
seedingi as seed is expensive, farmers can
not aiford its loss, or "tfust to luck" Two
crops cannot grow in the same place simu-
ltaneously. Filling the ground with all it
can support of spring grain, ard sowing
grass seed at the same time, expecting to
produce a fine meadow after the grain,
results in feeble product and after harv.
sstng the grain, the weak plants shrIvel
and die. Spring grain must be sown thin
ner when sown with grnss-then what is
lost in grain, is gained in thickness Of the
cloyer or grass crop. Thinly sown grain
generally produces heavier larger heads
aud more sieinsj consequently the crop is
not lessened. Grass is as important to
farmers as grain, and should not be sacri-
feed for the chances on the latter. 1t
should be made the primary crop, for the
soil is renewed 10y II while il is exhausted
g-ain.
Surface manuring and thorough tillagp
are absolutely necessary-the more mellaw
the land, the surer and better the crop. The
seed shcnld be sown after the grain is har.
rowed in, and 'eyeled by toller, which
smooths and settles the surface, insuriDg
quic ,rr termination. When winter grain
is narrowed, the teeth do not penetrate
sufficiently TO cover too deerlv the grass
Sc 4. More care in this preliminary work
will save the loss Of seed and Sc, urA better
ops. Dragging british over a stumpy or
ugh field Is good method for covering
6 ass seed. Four quarts OF timothy is sufi
Gent to seed an acre Of land prepared in
this way; i've quarts Of clover upon same
conditions. Double these quantities are
sown because farmers expect losses that
occur by careless preparation. Better ex
pend in careful tillage the cost of seed vast
c and reap the benefit, than be burdened

THE CLIMATE

side by the Atlantic ocean and on the other
by the high peaks of the Appalachian Noun

the cold of the winter is not severe, the tenn

severity, the thermometer several times

Poultry-Breeds for Laying.

The best breeds Of fowls for laying, are
those that suit the climate in which thay
are kept. 1t is an oft repeated inquiry a.
to which breed is most suitable, by those
who contemplate pphliry keeping Such
inquiry can only 6e answered by those who
have experimental with different varieties
in different locations. There is no doubt
that the Leghorns are equal to any other
breed for egg production, but it does not
follow that they ere the most profitable
fowl under all circumstances. They are
divided into two classes-the single. and
rosecombs--and there is further subdiVis-
ion, according To color. TIE single comb
varieties Of fowls are subject to frozen combs
in verv cold weather. but when properly
managed they escape harm. The difficulty
may be overcome by clubbing" them, as is
done with Games, but as the principal
points of the Leghorns are given to the
comb. they would thereby be disqualified
from composition at the fairs and poultry
shows A frosted comb would not be very
Objectionable to those who only breed fowls
for profit aud not exhibition, but when the
comb becomes frosted, the hen ceases to lay
until the injured member is completely
healed. AS the comb may be frozen seve-
raj times during the cold season. the loss Of
time from egg production, owing to the
effect of the temperature, would be quite an
Important item. The donble comb yariF-
Ties, though exposing quite large surface
to the action of cold, have their combs clos
er To the head.
In Thus noticing So small matter as the
comb. the object is to present one Of the
difficulties in the way Of keeping a breed
that sits, but lays we'll. While the breed
may not find favor in cold climates, that is
no reason why II should not be popular in
other sections. As the Leghorns have their
virlu es and faults, SO do the other breeds o
fowls In raising fowls for market, many
object to tho Brahmss and COchins on ac'
count Of their slow growth, and this ohjec-
tion may be a strong one fthe fowls are IN
he sent to market as chicks, as they do not
feather until we'll advanced. II matured
fowls are intended for shipment, the largest
carcasses, with fine appearance, NAV be
obtained from such breeds. The Plymouth
Rocks, which grow fast, and are uniform
in appearance when young, also make good
market fowls when gr,wn, but, while they
are excellent layers. they are liable to be-
come excessively fat when highly Ted g.
especially when they are confined, which
is hindrance to egg production. This may
also be an objection TO the Brahmss and
Co hins. The best results are derived from
Plymouth Rocks when they have free range
All breeds do best with freednm, hut the
lar :er ones are more contented under re
striction. It is best, therefore, in selecting
q b -eed for laving, IN take into consdera-
tion its hardness, fitness for market, time
Of ma urity, adsptnbility I, climate, and
disposition. BY selecting that breed which
possess qualities adapting them to the CO. :
dilions OF the particular section of country.
the best breed for laying as well aS for oih-
er purposes will be secured Am. Aqrieul-

THE SPEAKER IN HISTORY,

James X. Polk was the only
Speaker of the House Of Represent
atives who was elected President of
the United States. Polk was Speaker
for two terms. The only man filling
the'Otti e Of Speaker who was elect
ed Vice President is S,huyler ColflX
of Indiana.
Henry Clay Of Kentu ky he'd the
Speikership for the long period Of
ten yelrs-the longest service on
record. Andrew Stevenson Of Vir-
ginia filed the office for seven legis-
litive years. Stevenson was Rich
mond lIwyer who had received train
ing Us speaker Of the Virginia House
OF Representatives, Of which body
he had been for twenty years mem
Der. He was subsequently sent AS
Minister to England, his successor
In that Office being Edward Everett.
Nathaniel Macon, james G. Blaine
and Schuyler ColfaX were each elect
ed for three successive terms, and
each served six legislative years,
Ma,On of North Carolina was in Con-
gress for thirty-seven years, serving
for the larger plrt Of this time in
the Senate. No one in our history
has enjoyed thus faTso long a period
Of congressional service. Nathaniel
Macon fought vnliantly as a private
soldier in the war Of the Revolution,
having declined the offer of an Off
GERS commission. He belonged to
the State sovereignty school Of states
men, constituting a sort Of connect
ing link between jefferson and Cal
hOun.
There have been thirty-thrce
Speakers of the House OF Repre-
sentAttves, If we include the Speak
ers pro 6mpOre, some Of whom
served for full legislative year As
ninety-four years have elapsed since
the meeting Of theft congress un-
der the constitution, this would give
the average period Of service for
each presiding officer somewhat less
than three years. The State of Ken
lucky has hld the Speikership con-
ferrcd on three Of its citizens, who
have held the office in the aggregate
fifteen years. Virginia has enjoyed
this high Office eleven years. Next
comes Massachusetts,, whose repre-
sentatives have occupied the Speak
er's chair ten years. Pennsylvania
and Indiana have each hid three
Speakers, whose full service amount
ed to nine years for each State of the
original thirteen States. Delaware
and Rhode Island are the only two
that have not had the Speakership
at least once.
New York has had but one repre-
sentative .hosen Speaker in almost
hundred years. The young State
Of Kentucky has had the Speaker
ship already a dozen years longer
than the oldest State in the Union.
