Grass is the most important farm
crop in this state and much care is
needed in seeding the land SO as to
produce the best results. Nearly
every farmer knows something of
the disappointment of poor "catch.
Land that was expected to produce
two tons or more per acre produces
less than half that amount-and Of a
poor quality at that-because of
some failure in the seeding. The
land must either be plowed and re-
seeded or left to come into grass Of
itself. In either case there is pos
tive loss. This loss is sometimes
the result of careless work in seeding,
at other times it may be owing to
drouths or causes over which the far
mer has no control. In the former
case it will take but little figuring to
show the farmer that careless work
or an insufficient amount of seed
will place many dollars on the wrong
side of the balance sheet each year.

CARE OF AN APPLE ORCHARD
The lack of manure and cultivation
and a general lack of proper care for
orchards are the causes, in great
part of their sterility. Neglected orch
ards,produce small quantities of small,
poorly favored, and poorly-ripened
fruit. The orchard should be sup
piled with all the manure the tress
can preciate, and the trees will
then be vigorous and will show it by
a good growth of wood and handsome
fruit. When the trees do not make
a free growth of wood it is certain
that they are in i'll condition and
need the assistance of fertilizers and
ltivatlon,-probahly, also, judi
cious pruning, cleaning the bark and
the destruction of worms and in
sects. Vick's Magazine.

THE FAIR SEASON.

Every farmer should make up his
mind not only to attend the fairs in
his immediate vicinity, but should be
an active participant. The fair is
not and can never be better than in
dividual members make it. In sci
ence like agriculture, the success in
which is largely measured by the
amount of practical training one has
received, object teaching, such as
might be presented at the fairs, is
of the highest benefit. If the prize
takers in the various lines of exhibits
were to describe their methods of
cultivation or feeding, or any special
attention they had given to any line
of agriculture, in order to raise the
best of fruits or vegetables, or stock,
or make the best butter or cheese, no
listening, observant farmer could fail
to be benefited. The most success
full fair we ever attended was small
town fair, where the plan described
was followed out, and though the at
tendance at the race track was small,
the little exhibition hall was crowded
with attentive, earnest listeners
while farmer Bold how he raised
those premium potatoes, or Mrs. s.
at the other end of the hall, dis
coursed to the appreciative audience
of matrons on her methods of making
gilt edge dairy butter.
Always exercise the best of you
taste and judgement in making exhib
its. Remember that of two equally
meritorious articles, the one that i.
put up in neat and attractive form
will take the premium. The judges
at fairs, like purchasers, are not I'M
moved by an attractive display. L
you exhibit specimens of wheat
corn, oats, beans and smaller grain
and products of the vegetable garden
put them up in receptacles of a uni
form size. Small wooden boxes
neatly made about five inches squar
and four inches deep, are convenler
to handle, and may be neatly al
ranged. Wide-mouthed glass jan
of some fixed size are better tina
wooden boxes, and with the exercis
of little taste can be handsome
displayed. Wheat on the straw, q
a sample of that in the bag or cas-
can be tied up in small bundles, al
the unsightly strings can be covert
with bands of colored paper. VIVA
ever you exhibit, let it be your bes
and see that it is attractiyely di
played.
Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1886-08-16

AS a final suggestion, make up
your mind to be represented at your
town fair; make an exhibit, if you
have something worth exhibiting;
don't grumble if you don't get all
the premiums, and be sure that what
you exhibit is displayed in manner
worthy of it.
SPLITTING OF CABBAGE HEADS
The Husbandman recommends the
following to prevent very common
trouble with cabbages. The remedy
is not new, but is that adopted by
nearly all growers: eff season of
drought occurs when the cabbages
have begun to head, the heads will
harden prematurely, and then, should
a heavy rain fall, the plants will
start into growth and many of the
heads will split in consequence. This
should be carefully guarded against
by going frequently over the piece
while the heads are setting and start
ing every cabbage of which the head
Is nearly formed. A stout potato
hook applied just under the leaves
and pulled to one side sufficient to
break the roots slightly will accom-
plish what is needed. If, after hav-
ing started in this way, some heads
still seem inclined to burst, start
these slightly on the other side. The
heads of such plants will often attain
without bursting, to double the size
they were at the time of stating.

We have learned from experience
that large COWS are not as profitable
as smaller ones. The advantage of
selling them for beef after they have
served the purpose of the dairy is
more than offset by the greater cost
of keeping. The stock raised sells
as well and is as profitable as when
we kept large cows. In our judg-
ment moderate-sized cow is better
