Spring Seeding to Grass.

George M. CLARK in communication
to Rural New Yorker writes:
My first experiment in spring seed
ing was timothy and clover, in April,
1850, with oats. The field sloped to the
south and was composed of moist
loan. The oats and grass came up well.
and the grass was foot high and look
oats were cut at the top of the grass,
which let the hot summer sun in OH to
the young grass and killed it all. Since
that time have tried spring seeding
several times-lnore than 100 times-in
all conditions Of soil, and in no case
have ] known Of good stand. If one
has plowed lands or wornout grass
fields in the spring that be wishes to
seed to grass, he would better plant
some quick growing crop like oats, bar
ley, millet or some other crop that will
mature by the middle of July, then
clean the land, thoroughly cultivate as
/ have formerly described and seed in
Septem Der. In this latitude this is the
month to SOW grass seed.
Again, never plant any other crop
with it. BY doing this you will have
free, clean land for fhe spring crop and
also for this grass crop and secure the
first grass crop at the same time. Do
not forget perfect cultivation. Good
grading and careful seeding in the
month of September will almost invari-
ably secure a good stand and, if it has
proper nutriment, excellent results.
Spring seeding to grass, in my expert
ence, has always been failure.

The Ice Harvest.

Following are notes of interest wher-
ever ice forms from The New England
Homestead: One of the secrets of keep
ing ice is to have it packed SO closely
that there is no chance for air to enter
either between the layers or between
the cakes in the layer. To secure this,
every cake must be Of uniform width
and cut perpendicular.
Where ponds are too small to use ice
plows, gauge should be made Of two
boards fastened by crosspieces Ito make
it of the desired width, and from 10
to Is feet long. By laying this down on
the ice one Of the hooks of the tongs
will scratch deep enough to saw by. In
cutting off the blocks they should be
about half the width of the cake longer
than wide, in order to break joints in
packing. To smooth the surface of the
layer where the cakes may be of differ
emit thickness or roughness. long han
died adj will enable any one to make it
as smooth as floor. All joints should
be filed with snow, fine ice or sawdust.
Sawdust should be packed around the
OuJS1u0 lIOIH 10 o luOu6S GulCk.
Experience has proved that fine salt
hay or coarse bog grass is much better
covering for the top than sawdust, un-
less new supply of the latter is pro-
cured every year, as it soon rots and be-
comes dense enough to form good con :.
ductor of heat, and in hot weather will
ferment, thus generating heat enough
to cause rapid melting of the top
layer. The hay. on the contrary, forms
loose, light covering, is easily removed
and cannot heat unless very thick COW
ering is used.

PINE TRIES CIV WASTE LANp
Amy Soil Is Good Enough-Practioal Di-
rections For Planting Pine.


ANY Soil Is Good Enough Practical Di-
rections For Planting Pine.
Hon. j. d. Lyman Of New Hamp-
shire, who has had experience with
pines on an abandoned New Hampshire
farm, made an address before the Mas
sachusetts board of agriculture at late
meeting ON planting pine trees on waste
lands. Following are extracts from that
| address:
Men, with the exercise Of care, can
in 40 or so years grow 40, 900 to 80, 900
feet of pine to the acre. Our New Eng
land states have thousands of acres of
waste land which will produce crops
of trees. The pine is probably best
adapted to most of it because it de-
mands little Of the soil and takes its
substance largely from the atmosphere.
All the pine requires is foothold and
little water. There is no land in this
climate which will not sustain pine
growth.
The right number of trees to the
acre is an important point. Planting
the seed is better than transplanting.
The cones should be gathered by Sept.
/, spread out to dry, and in ten days the
seed will easily drop out. Sow these
seeds on the sod or in burrows, SO as to
be protected from the direct sun. The
trees should come up thickly, not less
than 8,000-and better 5,000-to the
acre. Begin early to trim them. Lower
branches should be cut out so that in
the well grown tree there should be no
branches within 90 feet OF the ground.
Pine lumber varies greatly in price,
and the effort should be to raise the
best The growth of the tree will de-
pend on plenty of air and light. It will
cost q cents per tree to cut limbs 90
feet from the ground. Cutting limbs
will give lumber wholly clear. You
will not have to cut many live limbs,
but cut off all the dead ones.
Mr.. Lyman, touching on the subject
Of thinning. fixed 100 trees to the acre
as safe number at 40 years of age.
The gradual cutting out after that time
would yield annual returns, while the
standing timber would be constantly in
creasing.
You can grow more trees on dry land
than on moist land. If you like you can
grow more than you need and cut out
the biggest ones Hot sunshine is dam
gerous to young pines. Winter rye will
shelter the young trees. Sow the seed
about as thick as you would sow corn,
say two or three quarts per acre. The
best sowing in the fall is in connection
with winter rye.

Harashlps Of Telegraph polss.


eyes, said Joseph Bonner, superin-
tendent of telegraph for the Southern
Pacific railroad, telegraph poles along
the line have hard time. Particularly
is this SO out west, where the poles are
costly and stations are few and far be-
tween. Now, out in the Arizona desert
the poles are played the deuce with gem
orally. There is a sort of woodpecker
that picks the posts absolutely TO pieces,
thinking there may be insects inside of
the wood. They hear the humming and
haven't sense enough to know what
causes it. Then near the hills the black
bears imagine that each pole contains a
swarm of bees and they climb to the top
and chew the glass insulators to pieces !;
but the sandstornis are the things that
create the most havoc. When the winds
blow strongly, the sand is drifted at a
rapid rate and the grains cut away the
wood at a fearful rate. 1t was common
thing to have an oak pole worn to
shaving III days time, while ] have
seen poles just ground to the s'zrsace of
the earth during single storm. Things
got so bad out there that the company
decided to substitute steel poles for the
oak and cedar, but that didn't remedy
the evil at all The sand just wore away
the metal on each side of the pole until
the center was as sharp as a razor, and
all the Indians used to shave themselves
on the edge We finally managed to fix
things-just painted the poles with soft
pitch. The pitch caught the sand, and
now every pole is about two feet tnick
and as solid as rock, New Orleans

The Bishop Apologized.

DIR. Temple was wont to rule the do
cese of Exeter with an iron hand, and a
tale is told Of deanery meeting at
which be presided, when the subject for
discussion was 1.-The HindranGes to the
Spiritual Life of the Diocese. After the
discussion had proceeded for some time
a vicar electrified his audience by de-
claring that the greatest hindranee to
the full spiritual life was none other
than the bishop himself. II repeat ii, !"
said the speaker calmly, ''our right rev.
erend father in God is very far from be-
ing father to any Of us. Your manner
toward u.s. he continued. turning to
the bishop, is harsh in the extreme,
while your method of rule is this: You
treat Us all, old and young, as if we
were set of schoolboys. = This bold
statement drew from the bishop an apol-
ogy, and he explained that beneath his
brusqueness of manner was very gen
uine sympathy with the work of all the
clergy. This impeachment created the
more sensation in the meeting because
itcame from son of DIR. Temples pred
ecessor. the famous Henry Of Exeter. -

Swimming a Horse.

1t must not be supposed that a horse
always swims naturally and with ease
the moment that he is off his feet in the
water. The animal under such circum-
stances has but one notion-to keep his
head out of the water and lift his Shout
ders as high as possible. In doing this
his hind quarters sink and he finds him
self almost standing on his tail or at
least position quarters erect. In
such an attitude, if the rider draws up
the reins or throws his body back in the
least, the animals hind quarters will
sink more and more, his body will take
vertical position, and, beating the
water uselessly with his fore feet, he
will finally sink. As soon as the horse
gets off his feet in the water let the
rider grasp the animals name, leaning
at the same time well forward upon its
shoulders, but without touching its
head The riders knees should be press.
ed tightly TO the horses sides; otherwise
ne is likely to be swept off by the water
This is the only position which win en-
able man to remain in the saddle and
the horse to swim at the same time.
The reins must be held loosely and each
well to one side.-Horse World

COLD FRAMES.

Useful For Winter Gardening How 70
Construct One at Small Expense.
The use of cold frame adds very
materially to the lengthening out of the
vegetable season Any one handy with
tools can easily construct frame. This
should be 8 feet wide and may be of
any length desired For ordinary family
use frame Of four sashes that is ~ feet
in length will be sufficient. OF course
for market gardening purposes the ex-
tent is almost unlimited. The best loca-
ton for such a frame is where there is
an eastern or southeastern exposure and
shelter from the north and northwest
Winds Common hemlock boards will
answer for the frame, according to
American Agriculturist, authority for
the following:
Before placing this in position the soil
should be dug out to the depth of 10 or
IL inches. Then posts are to be driven
at each corner and the boards nailed to
these SO that one-half of their width
is above the level Of the surface. The
rear board should be 2 or inches
higher than the front one in order to
give sufficient slope to the sashes. Three
feet from the end there should be
crosspiece about 2 inches wide to
strengthen the side boards and to serve
as support for the sashes. The space
from which the soil has been dug out
should now be filled in with the best
and richest garden soil obtainable
The frame is now ready to receive
cabbage, caulifiower and lettuce plants
for early spring transplanting. The usu-
al number put under one sash is from
800 to 400. If the weather should be
dry and the sun hot at midday, the
plants may have to be shaded and wa
tered once or twice. After they have
once taken root there is very little trou-
BILE with them. The sashes should be
raised Oh all warm, sunshiny days and
we'll covered when the weather is cold.
Thus treated, lettuce plants will be
ready for planting in hotbeds in Janu
airy or February and the cabbage and
cauliflower in the open ground as soon
as the season opens. After the plants
have been taken out the frame may be
transformed into hotbed, or it may be
used to good advantage for transplant
ing tomatoes, elephants, peppers, etc,
out of separate hotbed where the
plants have been started. The cost of
construction is but trifiing, and sashes
ready for use can be procured at small
o0cf

A breeder who has been looking
around says there are not good horses
in Iowa enough to supply the demand.
It has been found that breeds of dairy
cattle are as free from tuberculosis as
beef breeds. That is an important dis

made over tuberculosis anyhow by the
political professors and veterinarians.

Sheep Always PAY.

I very well remember the first start
we made in the new direction by buy
ing 10 Gull ewes, at twice what they
were worth, giving a note in payment,
and how those IL old ewes the next
spring gave us 81 lambs, and how the
wool from the ewes and the wether
lambs and half of the old ewes that we
culled out and sold because they had no
teeth went 70 pay the note, and how
from that day the sun began to rise ON
our fortunes As soon as | had few
dollars that I could call my own 1 in
vested them in sheep, and from that day
to this have owned sheep-sometimes
by the thousands, generally by the hun
dreds, and occasionally only few doz-
en-. have never seen a year from that
time to this but that my sheep have Civ
en- me a balance to profit when my books
were balanced on the first day of Janu-
airy. Sometimes it has been small-so
small that it could hardly be called a
profit-but at other times it has been
large, and covering the whole period of
thirty odd years it has been fairly good
have handled other kinds of live stock
Horses have made me some money, COWS
a little and hogs little. but no class of
stock has paid me SO well for the money
invested, for the feed consumed and for
the care given as has the sheep. Its
