Orchard. Grass.

A Marshfield, VT, correspondent
asks: Will orchard-grass, fall seeded
stand Vermont winters? / would like
to stock down two acres for pasturage
and shall seed about the middle of next
month. Will it be safe to SOW then,
and how much per acre?'
REPLY.-We look upon orchard-grass
as one of our most valuable grasses.
1t starts very early in the spring, is
ready to cut with the EARL est red clo-
yer and starts strongly Immediately af-
ter moving, often growing so high as to
hide the stubble in week. But like
everything that is good, and grows well
it wants good land to grow in. 1t is
not, however, so sensitive to lack OF
moisture as timothy, red-top, or June
grass, and if the land is rich it will
make good growth in dry season. II

Never Become a Household Drudge.

a woman should never allow herself
to become a mere household drudge,
and when she finds she has no time to
read an occasional good book, to write
letter to friend, to read a story to
the children, or to walk or talk with her
husband she may conclude that there
is something wrong somewhere in her
domestic economy, and the more
quickly she recognizes and remedies
the evil, the better it will be for herself
and family. If she is obliged to DO her
own family sewing, every tuck or ruffie
that she puts on her children's clothes
is crime. The hour or hours spent
in making an elaborate dress that baby
will look " lovely" in is waste of en-
ergy that a mother who does her own
work cannot afford. Baby will look
quite as lovely in her eyes in plain
slip, and if he has only his elaborate
dress to recommend him to the eyes of
others, he might rather pass unnoticed.
Give the matter serious thought, oh
tired housekeeper, and see if you do not
daily take many unnecessary steps, and
do much that you might. without injury
to any one, leave undone. Rest your
body and improve your mind, keeping
your face and heart as fresh as possible,
as you value the love of your husband
and children.-Rural Ne,c Yorker.
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1886-09-08

grows well under the shade of trees, and
this has given it the name of orchard
grass; but experience has shown us
that any stout, stiff-stemmed grass is
bad for an orchard in bearing, as nearly
every apple that drops is impaled upon
the stubs left after moving. So now
we do not SOW this grass among our
trees, but let the ground come into the
long-leaved, soft June-grass, which it
naturally does in few years without
seeding. Years ago we seeded a
small piece to orchard-grass, and
afterwards cut off the tops when
ripe and scattered them in part of
our orchard. This was the last of July,
and the seed grew well among the June
grass that was gradually coming in. 1t
is there now, and looks as though it
would always be there. We do not
know of any grass that appears more
hardy, and we should have no hes
itancy in sowing it in September. But
we would never SOW it exclusively as a
pasture grass. 1t is, however, good
addition to a mixture of grasses for pas
ture sowing, because of its resistanc G
to drouth-but not on thin, poor
soil. On such land it makes but little
show. This is the chief reason why
orchard-grass has not become more pop
ular. But few farms are in good enough
condition to grow it. We advise it
only for well-farmed land, and, except
when sown to grow seed, we should
never advise it to be sown alone. 1t is
grass that does not spread by its
roots, the seed is light and chaffy and
hard to SOW evenly, and unless very
heavy and careful seeding is made it
will not cover the ground. For pas
ture we should mix with it timothy,
red-top, June-grass and white clover.
The timothy will soon disappear, and
and most of the red-top will follow it,
except in the moist spots; but the June
grass, orchard-grass and white clover
will remain, and will give you feed Just
in proportion to the feed it gets. 1t
is possible, we think, to starve the
orchard-grass entirely out in time. Its
great merit is its resistance to drouth,
and giving rich feed in dry, hot
weather, when other grasses fail. 1t
will do this richly if you feed it as you
have to feed the corn-fodder which you
plant for the same purpose.

Cooking.

Girls are accustomed to regard cooking
as very difficult science. Some, how
ever, think they can consult cook
book when the time comes, read the
recipes aloud to the four-barrel, read
them again to the lard-pail, and that
the several ingredients will see the
force of the suggestions and immedi-
ately proceed to rally themselves into
something to tickle the palate They do
not consider cooking high art and that
it requires patience and practice. They
had rather sit at the piano and strum
for hours at piece that they almost
know they never shall be able to play
before folks. They will spend days
and weeks on some worsted work, while
everybody in the house, themselves in
Guided, are groaning with dyspepsia,
superinduced by bad cooking. Music,
painting, worsted work, crazy quilts are
all very well, but the fact remains that
we have stomachs, and also that what
we put into them has great deal to do
with our health, In acquiring good
education one must understand the
elements-we must have base, not a
pyramid built on its apex. Our girls
should possess sound, practical educa-
ton; that acquired, then the accom-
plishments may be added Urbridge

AMATEUR nurses should not show
over-anxiety or hover continually over
the patient, asking what he will take,
or wear creaking boots or rustling
silks, or be bustling or fussy, nor
stealthy nor cat-like, and whispering
should be mercilessly tabooed. A nurse
should be, of all things, cheerful, COM
passionate, kind, but never senti-
mental. Decision and firmness are
needed. Medicine must be given with
the regularity of clock-work. A sick
room should be kept tidy; plates, cups,
etc., that have been used should be
turned out at once.
