Fall Flowing,

-
Illinois Correspondence Country Gentleman.
A drawback to fall blowing is the difficulty of
getting the work done early enough to secure all
the benefits that should be derived therefrom.
The baked condition of the ground, the intense
heat and the annoyance of flies so prevalent in
August and September, often present such OBJ
stacles that the work is postponed till later,
when some of the most valuable results are
lost Taken in connection with the spring
working, the expense is greater than single
spring blowing If, by press of work in the
spring, the labor of that season is sighted weeds
may get the start of the corn, and filing the
hills, prove decided check to the crop. A heavy
downpour Of rain soon after planting may SO
level and harden the surface as to make it in
worse condition than spring plowed land. If the
land lies rolling, it Will wash worse during win
ter and spring than if unplowed or the winter
winds may carry small portion away upon your
neighbours farm.
AS to results I can only give the evidence of
observation and the general testimony of the
best farmers. have never compared by meas
arement the crops from spring and fall blowing,
and. if had, would hesitate to give the results
as proof considering such tests by the unseien-
tife farmer Of little value. But the evidence of
general observation and common belief. think,
predominates in favor of fall blowing, with thor
ough spring working. over single working in
spring.

Grass-Raising.

Orange county Farmer.
It matters not how widely farmers may differ
in judgment concerning the relative value and
profit of raising different farm crops all with
agree as to the Importance of raising standard
crops of grass in preference to all Others as the
foundation stone to all profitable farming. There
fore, it is not a matter of surprise when farm
becomes run down from overpasturage or
deficient in hay that the first outcry should be
for more grass This is the great cry now among
farmers everywhere, and he is rated the best
farmer who cuts the greatest number of tons of
hay, and can keep a corresponding number OF
cattle to the hundred acres throughout the year,
without the aid of foreign supplies. Grain-rais-
ing and pasturing may be made mutually profit
able for a time without a rotation of crops, but
the time is certain to come when grain
farming needs to be alternated with grass.
The use of special fertilizers. however literally
they are applied, will not prevent although it
may delay, the entire impoverishment of the
soil for time. but the result is always the same
in the end. That the destruction of the fertility
of the farm is accelerated just in proportion to
the weight and substance Of the crops removed
from the soil, and the speed with which it is
effected is now admitted by ALL and its fertility
is extended just in proportion to the good iudg-
ment of the farmer engaged in cultivatipg it.

The manager Of the great Dwight farm in
Dakota does not think the India wheat crop. be-
ing soft and pulpy. will affect the price of hard
Dakota wheat, and holds that the quality of the
grain raised in that Territory is due to the cool
ness of the climate and the large quantity of
akali found in that SOIL
Quince-tree roots are small and near the sur
face. and therefore should be protected against
the extreme heat and cold by mulching. The
trees also need pruning, like any other fruit tree

cut as low down as you can without interfering
with the lateral roots Split the stump as for or
binary cleft grating; insert the scions 1.-TWO will
be enough, see the bark of the stump comes in
contact with the bark of the scion; apply the or
binary grating wax and then cover with earth so
deep that there will be no danger from freezing.
In the spring remove portion of the earth, but
not all, and if the shoots start from the graft,
assist them in getting through. The difficulty
of vinegrafting is the starting of the sap in the
spring, and it is hard to overcome.
