The Grasses,

Ths grasses, for convenience, may be ranged in two general divisions. The first division comprises all the true grasses or plants with long, simple, narrow leaves and Q long sheath divided to the base which seems to clasp the stem; or, rather, through which the stem appears to pass.
 The artificial grasses are mostly legu- minous plants with few stems which are cultivated and used like the grasses, although they do not properly belong to that family. The clovers of all the va- rieties, the alfalfa, etc., belong to this latter class.
 In general, grasses ought to be cut not long after the time of Towering, for al though there is great deal of nourishment in the ripe seed, it is hardly enough to make up for the loss in the stalks and leaves, which are most valuable before the soluble materials, such as starch, gum and sugar, are gradually changed into woody fiber,

Tertilizing Corn.

TEC injury often done to the germ of the seed corn comes from contact with manure applied at planting time De- composed stable manure or well routed compost will not generally do harm. Cot ton seed meal seems to be very hurtful to small seeds, as we have learned at some cost in our gardening operations. In ap- plying all concentrated manures, it is generally best to drop little on each side of the seed corn as planted, not nearer than two or three inches. We prefer al ways to apply, at least, some portion of the fertilizer at the time of depositing the seed corn, and very close at hand, so that the young plant may be supplied at once with nutritious and soluble food, and pushed into vigorous growth from the very beginning.-Southern Cultivator.

Flower Seeds. '

very common mistake in sowing flower seeds, as well as other seeds, is in covering too deep. As a general rule, cover only to the depth of the thickness of the seeds, or with medium sized seeds like balsams, zinnias, etc, half an inch or so is none too much. Such fine seeds as portulacos need only to be pressed into the soil with piece of wood, or the palm of the hand. Always press the earth down firmly after sowing all flower seeds, else there is danger of their drying up before the roots can get a firm hold of the soil Seeds of the hardier annuals may be sown where these are to grow, but, as a rule, it is preferable to transplant, as the plants are generally stronger and stand the drought better. During very dry weather, and when the seedlings are first set out, they should be watered frequently. Provide some sup port for all such annuals as require it, or the plants will become weak and struggling and do not make the show they other wise would. The weeds should be kept down and the ground loosened often, SC that the plants will receive the full benefit of the rains and dews, which they will not if the ground is allowed to be- come bard A-d baked.

 FIG. 1-oBLoNG FIELDS ON SQUARE LOT.
 But the oblong form has some special advantages, as every farmer knows, sav. ing considerable time in blowing, harrow ing and working with the cultivator. Country Gentleman, in commenting on the above, calls attention to the fact that in portions of the country like many of the western states, where the land has been surveyed into squares and right angles, it is easy to lay out farms in sym metrical fields, form which may be adopted being represented by Fig. 1, whero the fields are twice as long as wide, and every one is entered from the central lane or farm road through a gate. On the left of this road is barn, orchard and long vegetable garden cultivated with horse. On the right is a dwelling, car riage house and smaller fruit trees. The six principal fields may be brought into Q convenient rotation of corn, barley, oats or peas, wheat and clover and timothy for two or three years in meadow and pasture.

est and easiest mode of application is to mix the hellebore in water. Place heap ing tablespoonful of the powder in dish; add gradually quart of boiling water, stirring all the while to make certain that the hellebore is thoroughly saturated. Turn this mixture into a pailful of cold water, stir well and apply with garden syringe or ordinary watering pot. The object is to wet every leaf; make two ap- plications, few days apart While white hcllebore is poisonous there is little or no danger from its use, as above directed. The chances are that before the fruit is ripe enough to eat the rains will have washed of all traces of the hellebore, and should any remain on the clusters the fruit will present a soAed appearance and be rejected in consequence.

Permanent Pastures.

Numbered with the many excellent papers read at tho New York institutes meetings this winter was one by MT. Gold, of Connecticut, on Treatment of Permanent Pastures" In this paper MT. Gold called attention to the important fact that the way in which pastures are fed, whether closely or otherwise, has much to do with their permanence in value. It is possible to feed pasture so closely as to dwarf the grass roots and kill the large growing species. Too light stocking favors the growth of coarse and useless vegetation. choking out sweeter and richer grasses. Dairy COWS, unless fed some grain impoverish pasture more than young stock or fattening animals. The fields arc apt to be too flush in June and too bare in August. Rather than these extremes, feed some grain or so11cd corn in the scant season and do not allow pastures to run into seed in June. Past. ure is often benefited by a change of tho live stock kept upon it. Sheep will eat and destroy the white daisy and wild car rot. Tho tread of sheep has a marvellous influence on the physical condition of cer- tain light lands. Horses may be profit ably changed around with cattle consum- ing much rank growth that is refused by neat stock. Young cattle may be advan- tageously pastured in connection with dairy COWS, which have habit of spend ing their time about the entrance to the pasture. It is well to have trees in tho more elevated parts, thus encouraging the animals to leave their droppings where they are most needed.
 For real permanent pasture we must cherish and retain the very best grasses that are fitted to the soil, the climate and the treatment our pastures receive. Some times blowing and reseeding is the only resort. But consider other remedies first. Cut the bushes, trees and destroy such
 weeds as can be banished without blow.
