Summer Seeding to Grass.

From the American Agrlcuiturist.
The most successful seeding to grass
may be done in July and August after
the grain crops are taken off. The
present season has been a bad one for
the seed sown last fall The hard win
ter destroyed the timothy, and the
late spring has interfercd greatly with
the seeding ofthe clover. AS rule, it
may be said that summer seeding is
more successful than fall and spring
seeding, but the ground must be thor
oughly well prepared. The whole Sc
cret lies in tins preparation. The fol-
lowing plan has been found excellent:
The stubble is we'll plowed, not more
than four inches deep,and Immediately
narrowed in a thorough manner.
There are several new implements
which do this work in the best man.
ner, pulverizing the soil, leveling the
surface and smoothing it, SO as to
get the land in the most perfect con-
dition for the seed. After all this has
been done, and the furrow marks ob
liberated, the seed is sown and the sur
face Immediately rolled fthis is done
in July nothing more is required. Ii it
is left later it will be desirable to SOW
turnip seed at the rate OF one pound
per acre with the grass seed. This
affords protection for the young grass
and clover in the fall and winter We
have found it good plan to leave the
turnips on the ground and not gather
them They will be killed by the frost,
and the leaves falling down furnish
protection to the grass during the VIM
ter, and IN the early spring, when so
much damageis usually done by the
alternate thaws and frosts. Thegrass
will usually furnish one cutting the
same season, but it should not bepas-
tured, as the surface is not firm enough
nor the plants sufficiently we'll rooted
to stand such tax.

Strawberries.

There has been 9 bountiful crop this
year, and nearly all Of thelarger cities
have been amply supplied, In the
flush OF the season they have been SO
plenty that the price scarcely justified
picking and marketing. Its probable
not sufficient arrangements were made
for shipping the surplus to deficient
points. There are a plenty of such
places. The smaller towns are yet
poorly supplied, and, in many
cases, none are to be had. The great
farming population is not yet one
third supplied with this most delicious
Of all fruits. It is gross neglect on
their part. They are easily raised,
and it takes but a small patch to sup
ply q large family with a healthy ap-
petite. AS an idea Of the dimensions
Of strawberry bed, we notice that
Mr.. E. II. Calkins, OF the Burlington
Hawkeye, rejoices over a daily supply
of three quarts ofluscious berries from
bed eighteen feet square.
The spring season is the best time to
set out new bed Of plants. But at
that time, we know from long expert
ence, that farmers with the crowdng
spring work have no time for attend
ing to the garden; or, for that matter,
any of the lesser duties of the farm ana
household, which really in the aggre-
gate contribute more to the real COM
fort of Life than a Thousand acres of
wheat, or double that amount of
corn.
But now is the time for the busy man
to set out strawberry plants. They
do very well any time in July and
August. The sooner now, the better.
But in hot weather great care must be
exercised. In fact, this is the main
element of success, and is all i'm
portant at any time. Ii plants can be
had near at hand, which is now gener-
ally the case, they should be taken up
carefully with a large lump of dirt to
each plant, and set out without disturb
ing or exposing the roots. Too many
failures are made by setting out plants
in hot weather with roots stripped
bare and then drenched with water.
The soil dries and bakes about the
plant and death is inevita BILE.
Then the farmer becomes discourage
ed and disguised at what he considers
the great difficulty in raising straw
berries. But have your wits about
you, and 90 at the work sensibly,
studying the nature OF plant life and
growth. Some men act us though they
thought that cabbage, tomato or
strawberry plants could be driven in
to any kind OF unprepared soil, like q
stake and then go away and not look
after them until the time when he ex-
poets a crop,
We want to see the time when all Of
our farm houses will be amply supplied
with all of the small fruits which can
be successfully grown in Iowa. But
this will not be until a large amount
OF missionary work is done. But that
farmer who has not a strawberry bed,
we ask that all of the influences of the
household be now brought to bear on
him to commence this month, and
commence right. Just now new plants
are forming on the runners, and by
the time you are aroused to action by
this notice they will be- just right. for

performed the task, to which he has become
well accustomed, in ten minutes. He worked
remarkably well at first, averaging a hand
every two seconds, but those who wished to
