Blue Grass.

Waldo F. Brown, in the Country
Gentleman thus sums up the merits OF
bluegrass:
"First-It improves with age, and
never needs reseeding; a pasture fifty
years old is in perfection. Second-It
will do to pasture a full month earlier
than clover, and about as much later
in the fall, thus greatly lengthening the
grazing season. In favorable seasons
I have pastured eight consecutive
months on it. Third-It makes the
best of winter pastures, and where al
lowed to grow up for this purpose, the
cattle will thrive on it whenever it is
not covered with snow. Fourth-Itis
not injured by tramping as are
other grasses, as itforms a very dense
sward. Fifth-It is f~attening, and
not washy in its earliest stages OF
growth, and a bullock will fatten on it
faster than OF corn. Sixth-it grows
on rolling lands and thin soils, and is
not injured by shade, and so produces
profitable plants in TIMBER plantations
and on steep hillsides sloping to the
south, where any other grasses would

ing of winter. Seyenth-Drouth never
kills it, no matter how thin thesoil, or
how utterly burned by the drouth Of
summer; itstarts into vigorousgrowth
again with the first rain, and soon
clothes the field with verdure. Alloth-
er grasses and farm crops fail at times
but blue grass never. In all localities
where it hourishes, it should find a
place or every farm, and on broken
lands, if three-fourths of the farm was
seeded down to it, it would be found
profitable"

How to XIII transformers.

Frederick Fisher, Notwithstanding
OF Creighton, Konx county, Neb., gives
the following remedy for disposing Of
thepests: "Ihave an infallible remedy,
which 1 have tried for many years up
on my farm. After tryingmany meth
DDS for driving away or killing the
grasshoppers l finally tried sulphur
smoke and it proved adecided success.
The remedy is simply this: Take hay,
straw, or rubbish, and dump it off in
forkfuls about a rod apart over the
field on the windward side. Next
sprinkle from one-forth to half a
pound OF sulphur on each pile
and in the evening set the con
tents OF fire. About shutdown the
air being sufficiently heavy to keep the
smoke down close to the ground, the
wind will roll it all over The field. The
smoke will scent everything growing
upon the field to such an extent that
grasshoppers will never come there
again during the season that the sui
phur is applied. l tried this method
for three seasons in succession when
the grasshoppers swarmed in myriads
from the Rocky Mountains, and it al
ways proved successful. The fourth
time | applied the sulphur smoke the
troublesome insects had been Matched
upon the field and had cut off the crop
of wheat clear to the roots, but after
being smoked they disturbed nothing
further. For about eighty acres OF
land, from forty to fifty pounds OF
sulphur L required"

had Condition of winter wheat.

The reports ofthecondition ofwheat
all over the United States and Canada
1T deplorable. Many farmers lose
their whole crop, and are blowing the
ground for Spring sowing. Last year
many farmers did the same thing, and
in many cases regretted their haste.
Hall n crop is better than to destroy
what is left and go to the expense OF a
new blowing and seeding, with all the
risks OF the eason AS a rule the
wheat recover very quickly and turns
out better than might have been ex-
pected. A correspondent last year,
who wrote us for advice in re-
gard to blowing up his Fall
wheat, let itstand, as W suggested, and
wrote afterward that he was very ia
vorably disappointed at the result.
The writer has 81 often experienced
the same gratifying disappointment
that a poor-looking field, however
wretched it may appear, is never
plowed, but is seeded thickly with
grass and is either narrowed or
brushed, and although the grain may
be thin the grass always does so much
better as to restoreth the balance. Grass
follows wheat IA a rule, and a half
a crop of wheat with n good catch OF
grass is far better than disturbing the
rotation by blowing up the wheat.

Thebest time forthis work, as every
one is aware, is in spring, just as the
youngrlants are beginning theirgrowth.
Next to this in the season is immedi-
ately after fruiting, while the plants
are in a partly dormant state, and be-
fore they fully from the ex-
haustion OF bearing; but more care is
then required. Most of the old leaves
should be removed, the fine mellow
earth pressed on the spread roots, and
if the soil is dry they should be we'll
watered, and q mulching Of manure
given an inch or two in thickness.
This mulching will prevent the ground
from crusting or baking, if a second
watering becomes necessary. Setting
ported plants late in the summe sue
ceeds well, but the operation, first and
last, is attended with considerable
labor, and it is only adapted to limit
ed garden beds. An easier, and quite
rs successful u mode, where elephants
to be set out are near at hand
or in the same garden, is to take
up blocks of earth with the plants by
using a spade, and to set them with
their mass OF earth into openings pre-
viously cut with the spade where they

a long bed OF the Cumberland and an
other of the James Wick, both in full
and abundant bearing, set in this way
during the latter part of last August.
The plants were scarcely checked in
growth by removal. With dry, light
soil the work would be difficult, as it
would readily crumble from the roots,
unless the plants were carried one at a
time on the spade; but with a strong
loan sufficiently moist, two or three
dozen may be taken up in compact
blocks, and carried on a wheelbarrow
to the place for planting. 1t is hardly
necessary to remark thatlast-a.tumn
rooted runners must be selected if the
work is donenow, but later in the sea-
son the new plants of thepresent years

A Good Word for the par.nip.

The parsnip is far from being pop
ularized, though much older than the
potato. 1t is aprime cattlefood good
for beef and milk, andgreedily eatenby
swine. Potatoes are everywhere; they
will grow about Is plenty as corn and
wheat. But the parsnip is the excep-
ton rather than the rule, even on the
farmer'stable. Asmall patch is raised,

be dug in the early spring for a change
of diet. 1t is wholesome and appetiz-
ing vegetable, and could be used to ad-
vantage for half the year. We begin
to use them fresh dug from the bed in
October; and before the ground freezes

els for winter use. In the spring We
dig the reserve, and have parsnips un-
til June. They are adainty dish stew

THE FARM AND FIREsIDE.
Farmers Items,

Blue grass grows very slowly and re-
quires three years to make agoodsod.
1t should therefore be sown with a
transient grass, as timothy, or with
clover, which soon gives place to it as
1T spreads and crowds these Weaker
kinds out or as they fail naturally.
1t should be rememberedth that clover.
serves a number OF purposes in addi-
ton to "adding vegetable material to
the soil. We can get as much or more
weight of green manure from corn fod-
der, but it has not nearly the same
value for blowing under. The long
roots OF clover reaching into the sub
soil, and in their decay exposing it to
the air and warmth, perform a service
which no other plant can rival.
Whether plowed under, moved orpas-
tured, this benefit to the soil is newt
able. Too close %pasturing, however,
.stints the plant and thus checks the
extension of the roots downward.
Many farmers think that as soon as
wagon-felloes begin to shrinl;, they must
go at once to Il blacksmth-shop and
get the tire set. Instead of doing that
(Which is often damage to the wheels,
causing them to dish), if they will get
somelinseed oil and heat it boiling hot
and give the felloes all the oil they can
take, it will fill them up to their usual
SIZE and tighten to keep them from
shrinking and also to keep out the
water.
Goslings should be fed for a fewdays
on soft food, as boiled oat and corn
mealmush, okenboiledpotatoes and
crushed wheat. They will soon begin
toeatgr grass, and a short sweet pasture
is the best feed for them after they are
a week old. Afterthat timesome cold
mush will be useful and should be Civ
en-, as the young birds should beready
for sale at least by September or
November. A fat young goose should
weigh 10 OF IL pounds when 6 months
old.

Something of Modern Greece.

From the Contemporary Review.
Greece, including the area coded in
1881, comprises about $4,000 square
miles of territory, inhabited by about
2,0OO,0O0 people. The population is
thus only about eighty to the square
mile. OF the total area one-half may
be treated as uncultivated, Though
much of it is capable of cultivation,)

the whole, is cultivated. Tobacco, cot.

principal crops. There are no manu-.
features of any Importance, and the
prosperity Of the country may there.

on agriculture-that is, on the

maintenance of the prince OF produce.

ed by excessive rain, and the actual
export is said to have been less than
the average by nearly one-half. Olive
oil is exported to the average value OF
f25O,OOO and the only other exports
OF Importance are wine, zinc and lead.
The average gross value of imports
andeSports amount, roughly speaking,
to f4,OOO,OOO and $4,000, 900 re,
spectively. Sixty-two per cent. of the
whole population are engaged eitherin
agriculture or in the care of hocks and
herds; but the inhabitants are too few
to extend the area of cultivation and
too poor to make the most even
of theland occupied. Thesoil, whichis
rich in many parts, would easily sup.
port double or treble the present mum.

proved, if proof OF such self-evident
truth were needed, that given a popu.
lation mainly dependent on agricul-
ture, nothing is so certain to improve
its condition as the development of
roads and railways. But until the
last few years this axiom vas unrecog-

Good Now. About Colman.

From the st. Louis Republican.
There is one thing to be said about
Commissioner Colman of the agricul-
tural bureau; he is a positive and de-
termined enemy of oleomargarine. He
regards the dairy interests of the west
as one Of the most important branch
es of our agriculture, apdhis active eff
forts in securing the establishment of
creameries in Missouri are generally
recognized. The manufacture of oleo-
margarine, a counterfeit, out of boiled
suet and milk, at n time seriously
threatened the dairy interest by sub
shutting a cheap and not unpalatable
article in its place. But the severe
Missouri law against the counterfeit
has nearly expelled it from this state,
and now Commissioner Colman pro-
poses to ask Congress to adopta SINH
lar prohibition for the whole country.

of his State. One night at the leading
saloon OF this little town a party OF
half a dozen were playing poker.
Among the players was a verye nice
young fellow, u graduate OF Yale Col
lege, and a man who had been quite
successful at mining, and had at the
same time made himself popular
with his fellows. Another member
of the party was a one-eyed
stranger, and the rest was made up of
other honest miners about the camp.
The play went on from earlyin the
evening until about midnight, and all
this time the one-eyed mar seemed to
get all the good hands. Several times
the college graduate thought he saw
that the man was cheating, but he did
not appear to notice it.
cat midnight the college graduate
rose up and quietly said: Gentlemen,
we are all tired playing, andsome ofus
are about broke. propose now that
we take a recess, and have some oys-
