Mixing Clover and Timothy seed.

Almost all farmers seed With n mixture
of clover and timothy. But IL is much bet
ter to SOW each OF these seeds separately
than TO mix before sowing. Timothy is
lighter and balkier in proportion TO its
weight. Its seed cannot be thrown as far
with the seeder or by hand as can the COM
pact clover seed. The latter with the
seeder can reach 1oia feet on each side
when clover seed is sown. With timothy
seed not more than nine feet on each side,
and il is better not To rely on more than IA
feet. or fifteen feet In all. When the seed
is mixed ii leaves blank space of six feet
where no timothy seed falls. or else strip
OF six feet wide where the clover seed las
had a double seeding. Either Of these
makes the field look badly. An even
growth. both of clover and grass. helps TO
keep the weeds down. and IL also makes the
land richer for future crops.

Growing smooth Potatoes.

There is great difference in the peeling
and cooking of potatoes as regards waste.
1t is one of the points which materially af-
feet the sale OF the crop. Therefore. In Sc
lecting seed care should be taken to plant
only the varieties which have eyes even
with the surface instead of sunken. and
which are without rough protuberances.
Some OF these latter viii yield very largely.
but the potato is coarse in fiber and not
nearly so paIatabie as those which grow to
moderate size and have comparatively few
eyes. AS the housewife selects from ths
bin for cooking she naturally chooses those
that can BE prepared with least difficulty.
The moral of this is that the seed should
be selected early. and not left 10 be taken
from the rough potatoes that have all
winter been rejected as OF inferior quality.

Every time the ground freezes ana thaws
many grass roots near the surface are
snapped from the main stem 1t - doubt
less the decay OF these which contributes
10 the increase OF fertility when fields are
kept In grass. Some OF the grasses. and
especially the ciovers. run out after ona
or two years. The decay OF their roots In
the soil helps TO make the more hardy and
enduring varieties more thrifty. We are
ant to think that sod. so far as Its roots
are concerned, is a constant quantity from
wear to year. But IL we could examine 1t
every spring we should probably ind that
many OF its roots have dropped sis and
