Keeping Flower Buds.

4 gentleman from Utica in Louisville,
who wished to send some beautiful
flower buds to his wife was at a loss how
to do so. 4 florist friend said he would
fix them. He cut Il potato into two
pieces and bored holes in them, into
which he inserted the stems of the buds
and placed them in box with cotton to
support them. \ letter from the rccipi-
ent acknowledged the remembrance and
said that the buds had developed into
full blown flowers There is sufficient
moisture in a good sized potato to sup
port flower for two weeks in Il moder-
ately cool temperature. Flowers from
bouquets may be preserved in the same
way. The potatoes can be hidden by
leaves or MOSES. - Louisville Post.

The Balloon in Warfare.

The balloon corps may become formid-
ably effective in modern warfare, al
though the date of its first utilization in
this way comes almost within the mem
DRY OF some men still living. The ear
lest appearance of balloons in war was
during the siege of fortress in Northern
France by the Austro-Prussian invaders
of 1874. when an adventurous aeronaut
surveyed the Austrian lines in the teeth
of a heavy but wholly Intellectual fire di-
rected against him by the enraged en-
emy. The balloon communication kept
up with the outside world by Paris dur
ing the German blockade of 1870 is still
fresh in public memory. Poor Colonel
Burnaby, one of the boldcst acronauts Of
his time, had daring theories about the
possible use of balloons in war which his
own feats amply justified. The project
of loading a balloon with small bombs,
and dropping them into the enemy's
ranks, has been repeatedly mooted, but
not yet tested by actual experiment.

Spring Seeding with Grass.

Spring seeding with grass Alone as recon-
mended in the following commun ication,
which appears in the American Oultivator,
from the pen of Mr.. @. T. Alvord of Viii.
mington, has been often advised but is not,
as yet, much practiced. Better results might
be expected from it in Wilmington, where
the soil is cool and retentive of moisture, than
on other soils less adapted to the growth of
grass. On dry or sandy land, when timothy
and clover are sown,with grain, it is generally
believed that the shade of the grain helps the
grass to get established in the soil. Unless
the soil is very rich or natural grass land, Il
ia difficult to get full crop of timothy, or
even clover, the same season that 1t is sown.
Mr. Alvord says;
Among the agricultural items in the Gull
tivator last April was one on seeding with
grass alone in the spring, which read IT
can be seeded alone, but this generally in
wolves partial loss of the use of the land for
year, as very rarely will grass seed get suffi.
Gent growth the first season to be worth cut
ting. This may be the case on very dry land
or in dry seasons, but my experience and
that OF others in this vicinity is the reverse of
this, and the practice of seeding with grass
alone in the spring Is being adopted more
and more each year.
"Under favorable circumstances there ia no
loss of the use Of the land for any part of the
year. l have never failed of getting a good
crop of grass in about ~ weeks from time of
sowing, and generally good growth of fall

broke up some grass land, spread on a good
dressing OF stable manure, and narrowed It
in. On the second day of June l seeded il
down with timothy and red clover, and Aug.
II cut the grass on it, At that time the
timothy was in full blossom and lodged down
Ia many places. The estimated yield of hay
on the land was about two tons Der acre.
There is now thick growth of grass on the
land.
Last November, just as the ground froze
up, sowed piece with winter rye. This
spring it was seeded with timothy and red
clover, and the rye and grass seed came up
about the same time. August IA l cut the
rye, which was very heavy crop. Across
the field was low place, where the water
would stand when the ground was frozen, and
on TINS part OF the land no rye grew; but the
grass seed grew, aud at the time the rye was
cut the grass was fully grown and yielded a
heavy crop
The heaviest piece of grass that saw last
year was on land which was sown with oats
the year before and seeded with timothy and
clover. The oat crop was stout one and
during the hot and dry weather which follow
cd the cutting of the oats, the grass was XIII.
cd. The next spring the land was plowed
and seeded with grass alone. About the mid
die OF August the grass was cut, and the esti.
mated yield Of hay was between two and
three tons per acre.
"On much of our meadow land it is not
profitable to try to raise grain, and on such
land crop of grass can be grown every year

A View England Apple orchard.

Mr.. Prescott Williams, of Williamsburg,
Mass, is the owner of an immense apple Or
chard, probably the largest in the New Eng.
land states. The orchard was set out nearly
20 years ago, and has been in bearing for
many years, although the present crop IL the
largest ever grown. Mr.. Williams estimates
the crop at 2, 800 barrels. Three hundred
and sixty-two trees, it is estimated, will yield
six barrels Of apples each, of which 800 are
Bsldwins, 16 Northern Spys, 1G Hubbard
ston's Nonesuch, 10 Rhode Island Greetings,
10 Lady Sweetings, 6 Congress, and Rox-
bury Russets, making total OF 2, 172 bar.
rels Hundreds of trees will yield one, two,
or three barrels, but these are not included in
the count. A number of trees will give 10
barrels and others eight or ten barrels OF ap-
pies each. The orchard occupies a rocky
slope of common New England farming land.
When Mr.. Williams began setting and bud
ding trees many years ago the old farmers
laughed at him, but he persevered in his plan
and for long time has expended more mon
ey in dressing for his trees than the average
farmer clears for his entire farm. The or
chard at present is a magnificent sight, the
apples large, fair, and of brilliant color the
yield ia probably the largest for the area in
the history of New England. The trees are
propped to keep the limbs from breaking of,
and the trees are free from worms, being

APerCoot RaLInr Powder.

The great success of the Royal baking pow
der is due TO the extreme care exercised by
its manufacturers to make il entirely pure
uniform in quality, and Of the highest leav-
eninR power. All the scientific knowledge
care and skill attained by 20 years practical
experience are contributed towards this end,
and no pharmaceutical preparation can be
dispensed with greater accuracy, precision
and exaotness. Every article used is abso-
lutely pure. A number of chemists are EN-.
ployed to test the strength Of each ingredient,
so that its exact power and effect in oombina-
ton with its co ingredients is definitely known.
Nothing is trusted to chance, and no person
is employed in the preparation Of the mate
rails used or the manufacture OF the powder
who is not an expert in his particular branch
of the business. As q consequence, the Roy
al baking powder ia of the highest grade Of
eXcellence-alwaysp pure, wholesome, and uni
form in quality. Each box is exactly like
every other, and will retain its powers and
produce the same and the highest leavening
effect in any climate at any time. The gov.
eminent chemists, after having analysed all
the principal brands in the market, 10 their
reports placed the Royal baking powder at

over the country have further demonstrated

The GOodCrops,

The New England crop reports, publisht
in yesterdays issue, indicate that on the
whole, the farmers OF New England are
gathering larger harvests than usual this sea-
son. This, in view OF the unpromisinR
state of crops until the last of June, is a vel
come surprise. Good crops in New England,
with the better promise in business and in
dustry, will put the farmers of New England
in condition to purchase and pay for the
products of other industries. Good crops
are only mockery II there ia no market for
them. New England, in seasons of general
prosperity, supplies the best market in the
world for those products which New England
farmers furnish. If this market was not at
hand the New England farmer would have
no call for the greater part of his farm pro-
duce. He owes his market TO our manufacur-
ing towns and villages. All of our cities are
nourished by our manufacturer. When
manufacturing is dull the market il dull
and when labor In the factory towns is fully
employed the demand for the products Of
the New England farm is brisk. The out
look for the New England farmer was never
more encouraging. The population of our
manufacturing towns is rapidly increasing,
and the railways are making themselves
more useful to the producer and consumer.
Consequently with widening market and
better facilities for reaching il, the proapeot
of the New England farmer Is encouraging.
The policy for the farmer to sustain Is that
which will tend to promote the growth Of
those towns and industries which afford him
sure home markets. -B0stOn Journal 1871
