New York Special: 1t was between and z

called to Harrison to dress him for q reception
that he had promised to attend, and at which

neglected his duties, and ordered him to hurry.
The illusion passed away in a few moments,
however, and the generals mind became per-
fectly clear. For some reason the attempt was
made to keep his dazed condition on awaken
ing from the public, and no statement of it
was made by the family or physicians. It
leaked out, however, through other authori.a-
tive channels When questioned about it, Dr.
shrady admitted everything but the story, about
the generals illusions, which he declined to

SPRING SEEDING.
Che Advantages of Seeding for Grass II
the Spring Time.

The Advantages of Seeding for Grass in
the Spring Time.
The stocking of cultivated fields with
grass and clover seed in the spring was
almost universal in this country fifty
years ago and more. 1t was accom-
panied very generally with the sowing
OF oats, or barley, the grain being
plowed or narrowed in, the ground
leveled with a bush-harrow, and the
grass seed sowed upon the surface, i'm
mediately following the bush. Some
times the ground was gone over again
with the bush or roller to give slight
covering to the seed, and to firm the
surface. The two crops upon the same
soil in one season was thought to be
economy of labor. But there was al
ways serious objection to this prac-
tice. The oat crop, if it was stout,
smothered the grass and clover, and if
drought came on soon after the oats
were cut, most of the grass Withered
and there was said to be ''poor catch"
of the seed; the work must be done over
again Not few old-style farmers still
follow this method of seeding In
later years, progressive farmers have
experimental with early fall sowing of
grass and clover without any grain
crop. There should be previous ro-
tation OF corn, or potatoes, or other
hoed crops, with abundant fertilizers
from the stable, and deep blowing and
a thorough filming of the soil with the
harrow and firming of it with the roller.
This work, if done in September, rarely
fails to give satisfactory catch of the
seed, and to make thick, heavy sod
the following season, and to bring a
permanent meadow, that, with occa-
sional top dressing may be kept in
meadow for long series of years, al
ways provided that there is but one
crop of hay cut in the season, and the
aftermath is not grazed. The main OBJ
lection to this practice is, that it comes
at time in summer when the teams
are not at their best, and wanted for
more pressing labors in other directions.
There is strong temptation for farm
ers of limited means to delay the fall
seeding, if they approve of it, until No
vember, when the young grass and
clover just starting is liable to be
thrown out by the freezing and thawing
and to perish. The late fall and early
winter often furnish favorable weather
for blowing, and a thorough prepare
ton of the soil for seeding. The more
of this that can be done in a season of
comparative leisure the better. Seed
sowing at this time is not safe prac-
tice in this latitude. But in the early
spring. when the frost is out, and the
ground is sufficiently dry for blowing,
sow the grass seed and give it the bene-
fit of the whole season to make roots
and lay the foundation for meadow.
This is not likely to be done with
grain crop sown at the same time. 1t
can not be done upon our long-abused
soils without manure and thorough
preparation. The stirring and mellow
ing of the soil is substitute for ma
nure only within limits easily reached.
The best results are to be gained with
a liberal application of fertilizers and :
thorough preparation Of the SOIL

Don't forget that the pasture fields
should have some attention. at least as
well as the grain fields. Weeds, briers
and bushes should be eradicated from
them just as carefully as from the po-
tato lot. Many farmers would be as
tonished to know how greatly the pas
ture yield can be increased by the aid of a
little fres hseed and manure occasionally,
and the keeping down of all alien
growth. San Francisco Chronicle.
Using Tablecloths: A good way to
make use of old red tablecloths which
are no longer suitable for the table, is
to cut them in good-sized pieces and
keep them in drawer in the pantry,
and on baking days bring them forth to
lay the warm bread, or cookies, OF cakes
upon. They may take the place of
towels in many other ways, and prove
: substantial economy.-Erchange.
An exchange says: Have a shelf
made at proper height from the floor,
with holes in it large enough to allow
buckets to go half way down. Feed
either milk or ground feed in buckets
and set them in their holes, and the
calves can not either turn them over or
put their feet in them. There should
be bracket to every calf in the pen,
so there will be no crowding and all
can get their shares.
Squash Biscuit: Use canned squash,
or the fresh vegetable, peeled and
steamed; rub the squash through col
ander with a potato masher; to each
pint of squash add tablespoonful of
melted butter, a palatable seasoning of
salt and pepper, two eggs beaten to a
froth and enough flour to form a stiff
batter; pour this batter at once into
