Hints Concerning Sowing Grass Seed
Buckwheat For Cut Worms-The Rota-
ton system-Butter That Will Not
Come-Notes and Recipes.

1t is nearly time for sowing the clover
seed on the wheat, but the warm winter
interferes with grass seeding rather than
facilitating it, owing to the soft condition
of the fields at this season and the unusual
growth of the wheat. But little improve
ment has been made in seeding down
clover in the spring compared with the
progress in other directions; and the same
method is practiced that was in vogue in
the last century, that OF sowing the seed
on the grain in the spring. The attempt
to save labor and time has much TO do
with the continuance of the custom, but
the many failures to secure a good stand
OF clover unless the summer is favorable,
should long ago have induced farmers
to give the land previous prepar-
alton before seeding. Grass seed,
like all other kinds, viii not
terminate and grow unless it receives
warmth, moisture, and is shielded from
the light. When the seed is sown broad
cast over the growing wheat in the spring
it receives no covering other than that
washed upon it by the rain. If the spring
is favorable the seed may take root evenly
and good catch OF grass be secured but,
should the early part OF the summer be
dry, the young grass dies out and the field
is uneven after the wheat is cut of. When
the seed is scattered over the snow, to be
carried down, much of it is lost by being
injured from cold, portion is not COW
cred. while the birds destroy another
part The time gained by having the
clover make catch while the land is in
grain is sometimes lost by failure to secure
a crop of grass. Everything depends on
the summer that follows the spring seed
ing.
the seeding of the clover be deferred
until the wheat crop comes Off and the
land is plOwed, thoroughly narrowed,
with the seed brushed in, about August
or September there will be plenty of rain
and strong growth made before frost,
the field being even and uniform and the
young grass well rooted. 1t will start off
early in the spring under conditions that
will give it advantages over the spring
sowed clover, and will equal it in every
respect. The preparation OF the soil pre-
vious to sowing will place the young
grass in position to become more vigor-
Gus and lasting, while in the end a larger
crop of hay will be cut. If the land is to
be seeded to clover this spring, however,
run over the wheat with a smoothing har-
row as soon as the season permits, which
will not only benefit the wheat but in
crease the chances of a better stand OF
clover.

put in the kettle couple OF buckets of cider
not boiled In this put three bushels of apples
nicely pared and cut into quarters; when
stewed to a sauce add the boiled cider and

eight or ten hours. Season 10 taste and put in

Caramel Custard Pudding--Put handful of
loaf sugar into saucepan with a little water,
and set il on the fire until it becomes dark
brown caramel, then add more water (bOilng)
to produce a dark liquor like strong coffee.
Beat up the yelks of six eggs with little
milk; strain, add one pint of milk (sucar
to taste) and as much caramel liquor
tcold) as will give the mixture the desired
color. Pour il into well-buttered mold; put
this in balm marie with cold water; then place
the apparatus on a gentle fire, taking care that
that the water does not boil Half an hours
steaming will set the custard, which then turn
out and serve. BY using the white of one or
two eggs in addition to the six yelks, the
chances Of the custard not breaking are made
more certain.
Caramel Pudding-Put a handful OF loaf
sugar to boil with quarter of pint of water
until the strip becomes deep brown. Warm
a small basin, pour the strip in il, and keep
turning the basin in your hand until the inside
is completely coated with the strip, which
will by that time have set. Strain the yelks of
eight eggs from the whites, and mix them
gradually and efectually with one pint of
milk. Pour this mixture into the prepared
mold, lay piece of paper on the TOP, set it in
saucepan full of cold water taking care that
the water does not come over the top of the
mold, put on the cover and let il boil gently by

under exactly similar circumstances right
through, except that three hens with thirty
chicks were placed and kept on a com
paratively new piece OF land, while the
fourth hen with the remainder of the
chickens had to be satisfied with quarters
in the old poultry yard. Those on new
soil grew with wonderful rapidity,
and have always remained perfectly
healthy, while the chicks in
the old yard, although taking a fine start,
soon began to droop and die off, until now
there is not one left. Diarrhea took them
all. AS thorough or las l am tempted to
call it, wide" rotation is one of the best
and most simple preyentiyes OF fungus
diseases in cereals, vegetables and fruits,
and often OF INJURIOUS insects, so, If prac-
ticed with poultry, it must aid in prevent
ing the attacks of cholera, dysenterv,
catarrh, and especially that dread of the
poultry-keeper, the gapes, as it Is well
known that moist ground is one of the
links in the transfer-chain of the cape

CARPENTER AND WOODS.
Why the Former Will Not be Punished
For His Ofenses.

Evansville Courier.
Carpenter has been indicted by the federal
grand jury at indianapolis. and would GER
tainly be sent to the penitentiary upon the evil
dence against him, if he were a democrat lust
as Coy and Bernhamer were. But Judge Woods
does not believe in sending republicans to the
penitentiary. By his acts in the Dudley case
he has said to the world that when democrats
violate the elections laws they should 60 to the
penitentiary, but when republicans violate
them they should go free. This is the long and
short of the business, according to Judge
Woods, and all of his detestable sOphistries to
make his intentions appear otherwise are in
sulting to common intelligence.
The longer one reflects upon Judge Woods
infamous change of front in the Dudley case,
the more exasperating it becomes. He must
be a fool who believes that such partisan
bigOtry will be tolerated always. If the day
comes when judges of our courts are dragged
from the bench and killed in the streets like
dogs honest people can wash their hands of
the crime, because If the courts will not pro-
tect them according TO the law of the land,
they must protect themselves.
Carpenter will not get into the senate, but
he will not reach the penitentiary, where he
OF right belongs because he is a republican
and Judge Woods does not intend that any
republican shall be felOnized while he remains
on the bench to interpose his Judicial fat
against such an assertion of the law.

Buckwheat For Cut-worms.

Llnmer Bros mobile, Ala
Have you ever noticed the effect OF
ploughlng under a crop of buckwheat to
keep cut-worms offthe land? 1t has been
our experience the last fifteen years that
wherever we turn under a crop of buck
wheat we will not have any cut-worms on
it, but this year has been the most re-
markable of all. The seed we got from
the North was OF a very poor quality,
hardly coming up at all. So we sowed
the remaining seed, about two bushels, on
a piece Of about half an acre. This gave
us a good stand. Now everywhere cut
worms are plenty, except on the little
piece where the buckwheat has been
turned under. We always have been free
from cut-worms on land we have
ploughed buckwheat under, while our
neighbors have sometimes their whole
crops ruined by them.
