parts of the country where it would doubt
less succeed. 1t l. generally known as
red top, Though it receives in vario1s
parts OF the country the names English
bent grass, fine-top, Burdens grass. and
Hurd's grass. 1t is the practice of many
farmers to SOW the seed of this grass with
that of timothy and red clover. The first
year after sowing there is heavy growth
of clover which soon disappears. The
timothy produces a good crop a year or
two after the clover has died out, and
from that time forward the red-top takes
possession of the ground. If the soil is
tolerably rich and moist, the growth will
be very luxuriant and the quality OF the
grass excellent If the soil is poor and
dry, the growth will be small and the
quality very inferior. The grass is not
adapted to hillsides or to sandy and gray
ely land. whatever may be its elevation
it will be eaten by all kinds of stock in
the spring, but animals will reject il later
in the season, as the stalks become hard
and wiry. Grown on moderately moist
land which is ordinarily quite rich, it is
very productive, and it is questionable If
any other kind of grass will furnish an
equal weight of green or dryed fodder
Like bluegrass it produces permanent
sod, which under favorable conditions
will continue to be more productive year
by year II makes very good winter pas
turage, though 1t Is not equal to blue
grass for this purpose.
Red-top makes excellent hay for cattle
sheep, and all kinds of young stock
though it is regarded as inferior to timo-
thy of for work horses. 1t contains a
larger proportion of leaves than timothy
and retains the color of the grass better
The grass is .olerable easy to cnt but
somewhat difficult to cure, as it packs
close in the swath and wipdrows. If
spread with fork or tedder, it will cure
very nicely. The hay is easy to pitch,
and as it packs closely in the stack or
rick it sheds rain well and is preserved
without difficulty. Is red-top hay is fed
in a manager having tight bottom, con
siderable seed can be saved in the course
of the winter, which can be sown in the
spring in such portions of the pasture as
produce inferior grass. In most parts of
the west and south, stable-keepers prefer
clean timothy hay. During the past few
years horse owners In the east have
shown de 'ided preference for a mixture
of timothy and red-top. They state it is
more economical to feed as horses eat il
cleaner than they do clear timothy. Red.
top hay can be pressed into very cam
pact pile, which is a great advantage
when it is to be transported long dis
tances. In the vicinity of this city red
top is so common that the seed is self
sown in most fields, and naturally sue
ceeds red clover and timothy. The grass
is certainly worth introducing into por-
tions of the country where no attention
has bee paid to it.

Timothy is the fashionable grass in
this country for making hay, especially
designed for horses. With few except-
ions, owners of horses kept in town will
pay more for clear timothy hay than for
that made from any one kind of grass or
for a mixture of several kinds As
timothy grass is easily cured, the hay is
not likely to become musty in the stable
or the stack. Farmers who make a prac-
tice of selling hay prefer to raise timothy
because it commands the highest price
in the market They also like it be-
cause 1t is easy to cut. Timothy is easy
TO introduce on almost any kind of soil
provided it has been under good cultiya-
tions for several years. In most parts
of the country timothy seed viii germin-

to secure good stand by sowing timothy

have called it the grass of civilization.

the cultivated grasses, as it is only very
productive when grown on land that has
recently been under good cultivation. Its

Admiration Of Mnnurcs.

The adoption of tho feed and the cror
and the soil is a first necessity in the
economy of manuring; bat more than
this is required to feed a crop intelligent
ly. The form in which to use tee differ
ent manures, the quantities to use, time
and mode of application, are all of ex-
treme importance. But even when al
is done that can be done in
this matter, when thecombined wisdom
of practice and science has told Us all
that it can tell US IN regard to the judi
clous choice and distribution of manures
it affords, at the best, but tickle and i'm.
perfect data TO work upon. 1t is not
merely chemical composition of soil
and crop, for in every crop, nay in every
field, there are certain physiological and
other peculiarities that are important
factors in the problem, and some of these
are not yet clearly determined
Whether the most soluble forms OF
manure are the most economical to use
will depend on the nature of the soil, and
the season, and the crop, and also on the
practice of manuriag. If the soil is re-
tentive, the season or climate is dry, the
crop a short lived, shallow feeding one
and the practice is to manure often and
give little at a time, and then all infer
ences are in favor of soluble manures
Even where the three first conditions are
reversed it may still be best to use soluble
or readily soluble manures, provided they
are given on the principle of little and
often" Ammonia in the form of mira
ties or nitric acid is in the absence OF
vegetation, or unless taken up by vegeta-
ton, especially washed cut of the soil
A soluble potash, or a soluble phosphate
is not liable to the same risks of remoy
al as the heterogeneous element of manures
Still plant can only take up a small
quantity of food at a time, and it Is OBJ
yiously a waste to more than the plant
can make use of within a given time
at may be alleged that the portion not
absorbed bides its time and eventually
becomes useful: but this is very doubtful
il is in the last degree improbable that II
all remains in the soil, for the very cir
cumstances which make an Artificial man
ure useful are those which lay open tC
loss when it remains there for length OF
time" Both the soluble salt of potash
and the soluble phosphate are no doubt
taken up in large quantities by the plant,
but any excess is soon fixed in the soil
and is not then accessible to the growing
crop.
The question of light or heavy manur
ing will, in measure, be regulated 10y
the practice which is adopted in regard
TO the above. The more soluble the ma
nure, the less of it can be given profitably
at one time ard the more frequent should
be the applications What the pay ing
point exactly is must be determened by
every farmer on his own soil, in reference
so the crop he il raising, and the climate
he has to deal with 1t is a point well
worth resolving, Need we add, that IN
order to obtain full and healthy plant
change of artificial manure may at times
be necessary: that to feed plants proper
ly they may need to be dieted, just as dys
peptic men and animals have to be diet

Poor Pastures.
Chicago Times

In Great Britain, Holland, and in some
of the best districts IN this country land
Is selected for pasture. as it is for any
particular crop. Regard is paid to its
adaptability to produce a large amount
of fine rich grass. The soil or sod is pre-
pared to receive the seed, which is select
ed with special reference 10 the produc-
ton of grass to be eaten while it is in its
green state. Great pains are taken to
render the soil as productive as possible.
Water is supplied or drained off as the
wants OF the land may require Weeds
or bushes are exterminated or kept in
subsection. Fertilizers are applied rs
they are to land devoted to cultivated
crops. Loose soils are rendered more
compact by the use of the roller, and very
heavy soils are loosened by tho employ
ment of the harrow or scariier. Most
farmers in this country, however, neglect
all these things. Land Is not selected for
a pasture, If it is too rocky, broken or
difficult to cultivate, IS it is too wet OF
dry to produce good crops of corn, grain
potatoes or roots, it is devoted to pastur-
age Land is selected for other purposes
but the land for pasturage is what was re-
iected or unsuted for any other use
Sometimes Il piece OF land originally pro
ductive is devoted to pasture purposes
If this is the case it is generally after il

planted to corn for several years, then
sown to grain for a period equally long
and then laid down to grass suitable for
moving purposes. After the crop OF
grass becomes so light that il scarcely
pays for the work of cutting, the farmer
concludes that the only thing he can dc
with the land is to devote it to supporting
stock during the summer, when he eI

Good and Bad Butter.

The establishment of creameries has
accomplished one good, apart from ffnan-
cial benefits accruing to owners and pa
irons. They have made the public bet
ter acquainted with what good butter

more exacting as to quality. This will
compel the manufacture of better ar

all sold at the same price. Now except
IN some of the smaller towns there is a
wide range in the price At some coun-
try stores all butter is still bought At a
uniform price, sufficiently low to allow
the dealer to make the necessary CLASH
tcation of 'choi:e roll" good country
"old grease" etc. Many butter-makers
would be surprised and mortified if they
knew how much of their product went to
the latter class. These country dealers
dislike TO offend their customers by tell
ing them that their butter is inferior to
that made by others as farmers wives
especially are sensitive on this sub ect.
The result Is that those who make real
IL good article object to helping to pay
for inferior products, and send their but
ter to market where classification is
made. Thus the 'One price butter deal
is losing his trade, and the time will soon
be when butter will sell everywhere ac-
cording TO quality. This will prove a
great stimulus to the manufacturer of
good butter, and an undoubted benefit to
the dairy.
