THE GRASS CROP.
How to Thicker Up Meadows SO as t.
Secure the Best Results.

now 10 In1cken up meadows SO as Il
Secure the Best Results.
1t is always an item to secure the
largest possible yield from every crop
This is the case in the garden with fruit
small grain or cultivated crops as vel
as with the pastures and meadows.
good even stand of grass growing in 6
reasonably rich soil, will yield not only
much larger quantity, but under av-
erage conditions the quality will be
much better.
After the crop is taken off is good
time, not only to enrich the soil, but
also to drain where necessary and to
thicken up the thin places.
Too much water standing during the
winter is almost certain to kill out the
grass or if moist and low the grass is
liable to grow coarse; in very many in
stances draining will remedy.
Thin places can often be thickened
up by narrowing thoroughly so as to
even up the surface of the soil and then
scatter seed over these places. This
ought to be done reasonably early, es-
pecially if there is sufficient amount
OF moisture to induce a good germina-
ton so that a good growth can be Sc
cured before cold weather sets in.
A little work spent in this way will
often aid materially to increase the
yield of grass, and is as much of an OBJ
ject to secure the best possible growth
of grass as it is of any other crop in the
farm. Grass both during the summer
and winter is cheap food provided fair
crops be secured, but if good crops be
secured it is just as important to have a
good soil and good even stand as it is
with any other crop grown upon the
farm and some pains are necessary to
secure it.
Properly cared for good meadow or
pasture can be made to promise good
crops for quite a number of years, but
care must be taken to apply plenty of
manure so that the fertility of the soil
can be kept up and when from any
cause the grass ever gets partially
killed out care should be taken to re-
seed.
While as a rule rotation should be
followed up with nearly all crops, in
some localities it will pay to keep land
in grass long time, as long, in fact, as
profitable crops can besecured. And in
order to do this it will nearly always
pay to take good care Of them. After
harvest is completed there is usually !
some spare time, portion of which can
very often be used to good advantage |
n the meadows, securing as large a |
7ield as possible.-N. j. Shepherd, IN |

VALUE OF WOODLANDS,
Why Farmers Should No Longer Squande
and Waste Their Trees.

Why Farmers Should No Longer Squande
and Waste Their Trees.
The Pennsylvania Forestry Associs
ton, in a recent publication, desire
every farmer and every owner of WOOD
land to know:
| That his wood lot contains valuabl
crop, which will pay him not only no
to cut down and slaughter, but to man
age and utilize judiciously.
That it is possible to utilize the oil,
trees in such a manner that a new, val
liable crop is produced, instead of thu
inferior crop which now so often takes
the place of the virgin forest after in
discriminate cutting.
| That as an intelligent manager an6
husbandman, he would do better to see
| to natural reproduction of his wood
lot, to cut with regard to the spontane
Gus young growth, rather than to clear
indiscriminately.
That the time has come when forest
destruction must give way to forest
management, for timber is becoming
more valuable every year as it grows
scarcer in the country at large.
That in the woodlands in proper
proportion lie to large extent the con-
ditions of favorable climate and sue
cessful agriculture.
That upon forest growth depend
healthfulness and equableness of eli
mate.
That the forest breaks the force and
tempers the fury of the northern and
cools and moistens the breath of the
southern wind
That by its own cooler and moister
atmosphere in summer and warmer at
mosphere in winter it tends to equalize
temperature and humidity over the in
tervening fields.
That while the open, treeless, heated
prairie prevents the fall of rain, allow
ing moisture-laden clouds to pass over
it undrained, we must thank our forest
clad hills and mountains for our more
frequent, more gentle, more useful
showers, and above all:
That the forest cover of the noun
tains preserves the even water flow in
our springs, brooks and rivers, while
its destruction or even deterioration in
creases the danger of floods, washes off
the fertile soil, and then brings down
soil into fertile valleys, lowers
the water level, and, in general, throws
e Ill
for agriculture.
That while we advocate the cutting
and using of the wood crop as we need
it, we must not any longer, as we have
lone. squander and waste it; we must
not clear where clearing produces
danger to the surrounding country

Inherited Diseases,

No fact of nature is more pregnant
with awful meaning than the fact Of the
inheritance of disease
Modern science, which has illuminated
so many dark corAers of nature, has shed
anew light on the ominous words of tho
Scriptures, "The sins Of The fathers,
shall be visited upon the children
unto the third and fourth gener; ton"
Fifty per cent. of cases of consumption,
cancer and scrofula, run in families
through Inheritance. Insanity is hered-
itary in 8 marked degree, but, fortu-
nately, like many other hereditary
diseases, tends to wear itself out, the
stock becoming extinct. A distin-
guished scientist truly says: mo organ
or texture OF the body is exempt from
the chance of being the subject of
hereditary disease" Probably more
chronic diseases, which permanently
modify the structure and functions OF
the body, are more or less liable to be in
heritcd. The important and far-reaching
practical deductions from such facts
are obvious to rejecting minds, and the
best means for preventing or curing
these diseases is a subject Of intense in
terest 10 all. Fortunately nature has
provided remedy, which experience
has attested as infall;ble, and the reme-
dy is the world-fsmous Swif.'s Specific,
