Grasses for Hay and Pasture.

The best mixture of grass seeds de-
ponds upon the soil and climate and the
farmers needs, More regard should be
paid to the succession of blooming of the
different varieties that may be sown,
though this point was long since empha-
sized by Flint. Mr.. F. Lamson Scribner,
chief Of the grass division Of the depart
ment of agriculture and one of the best
experts on grasses, in one of his admirable
addresses made these very practical points
The best wild or native hay grasses are
blue Joint, fowl meadow grass, species
of Glyceria, and one of the Muhlenber
gias or "drop seeds, These are valuable
in the order named, and often afford in our
low-lying meadows large bulk of native
hay of excellent quality. Like Other
species of grasses, they respond readily
to good treatment. Timothy, meadow
fescue, orchard grass, rye grass and red
top are the chief and best known Of the
cultivated or so called tame grasses fol
the production of hay In the markets
timothy is the recognized standard by
which the value of other grasses is esti
mated. 1t the farmers gold coin
although it does not appear to me to be
equal in some respects TO other varieties
Its clean appearance, even growth, fail
productiveness, and easy propagation
make it favorite grass.

SWARMING AND HIVlNG BEES,
Some of the Methods In General Use
Among Beekeepers.

Once the bees have clustered the OPP
GRAFTON of getting them into the hive is
mot so formidable as it would appear.
Like every other operation in the work
ing of the hives, the insects must be
handled cautiously and gently. The
hive must be ready beforehand. The
frames should have foundation strips
fastened TO the top as starters" for the
bees to work upon, and to make sure of
them stopping in the new abode many
beekeepers. give them comb from the
patent hive containing brood and honey.
An ingenious device used by some of
our beekeepers for catching swarms is
described as follows by Prairie Farmer:
To make it, get forked stick, bend
the forks together in the shape of a hoop
and just large enough to go into an or

may be gathered by running the finger
down into the soil by the side of the
stalk and breaking it off near the root
crown. One of the best mixtures to Gov
er over the plants consists of compost
of muck and clear horse droppings, or
perhaps rotted sawdust in place of the
muck, or both. If you prefer green
stalks (and they are more easily grown,
have the bed as shown in Fig. @ In that
case the stalks are simply cut off at the
surface of the ground. "

ture is preferable to ridge or hill Gull
ture for conserving moisture Ridges
should only be used when the object is
to relieve the soil of moisture as in low,

success cannot be secured unless the

The United States continues to main,
tain its position as one of the great gold
producing countries of the world-a fact
which will tend to offset the export drain
of the yellow metal. According 10 the
latest figures of the Director of the Mint
the production of gold in this country for
1896 was about $1,000, COO increase
of over Sc, $50, 600 as compared with 1895
The production of silver for 1896 was 81,
700, 900 ounces-an increase of 900 900
over the production of the previous year.

A TUB SILO.


and the remainder of the door sawed
out without making an auger hole. Saw
the door at a bevel, making the opening
larger on the inside, SO the door will fit
snuply in place when pressed home by
the ensilage. The edges of the slaves
should be beveled, SO that when set in
place they will form a tight joint along
their entire edge.
The silo need not necessarily be per-
fectly tight when empty, nor need it be
water tight when the filling commences.
The hoops should be frightened before
filing and the slaves brought closely to-
gether SO that no piece of ensilage can
get between the slaves. The moisture Of
the ensilage will cause the wood to ex-
pand so that not only will the silo be-
come tight, but the strain may become
SO great upon the hoops that, unless they
be loosened slightly they may be burst.
A tub silo always needs close attention
for few days after filling and the
strain relieved if necessary. A silo l5
feet in diameter and 10 feet high would
hold 81 tons of ensilage For feeding 10
COWS 80 pounds per day this silo would
hold an amount nearly sufficient to keep
them one year, according to the author
ity quoted.

some localities it will be necessary to
provide some means of protecting Ii
from the extreme cold. This may cheap
