cia!ly II the sod is still quite thick.
The most simple way to renew tn,
land is to put 1t into some crop other
than grass and keep 1t so for q num-
ber OF years. II It can be put into
some crop that is to be heavily ma
nured so much the better for the sub
sequent grass crops. Rotation. how
ever, is not necessity to the meadow.
In Europe meadows are kept perma-
nentiy In grass and it is said that the
Oldest ones are the best This result.
however. is obtained by systematic ma
nuring. and the keeping OFF OF all ami
mails. No attempt is made to make the
meadow produce both u hay crop and

Sowing ora.. seed with drain.

The sowing of grass seed with grain
Is an old practice that still survives
It has some things in Its favor and
some things against II. 1t used to be
thought that the grain helped the grass
seed to ''catch." and that the young
grass was helped by the protection It
received from the grain. This. how
ever. is not regarded as reason to be
given consideration in the growing Of
u grass crop. So far rs best growth Is
concerned there is little doubt that this
grass that Is given the entire field will
co the best. II will get tho sunlish,
and moisture from the first and will
make far better growth than when
dwarfed and shaded by grain.
The only point TO receive attention
should be that OF economy. Which Is
most profitable. TO grow the grass alone
or with grain? II the grass IL grown

Mr.. W. St John Brodrick was one
of the clever young men" OF the Con-
servative party in the ''early eighties"
Though not, perhaps, a brilliant ora
tor. he is a keen debater, and has more
than once shown that he can state a
case as clearly as any Of his colleagues
on the Treasury bench.
Eldest SON Of Viscount Middleton, Mr..
Brodrick is in his 44th year. He re-
ceiyed his early education at Eton, and
later on at Oxford. Like so many 9TH
or men who have shone in the politi-
cal world he took prominent share
in the debates of the Union Society, of
which he became president. He also
helped to found the Canning club,
which has long been the center OF the
new Toryism Of the university. 1t
was his good fortune to step straight
from the presidential chair to q seat
in the House OF Commons, being re-
turned unopposed for West Surrey at
the general election Of 1880. Both
in and out Of Parliament Mr.. Brodrick
was exceedingly industrious and pains
taking, and it Is affirmed that he was
one OF the few members who really
mastered the intricacies of the Irish
land bill. On the passing of the Re-
distribution act, Mr.. Brodriek was
elected for the Guildford division Of
Surrey, and he still represents that
constituency. Often 1t has been said
that Mr.. BrOdrick came of age, sat
for his county, and got married all
in one year, but the statement Is er-
roneous. True. the two. latter events
occurred in 1850, but that was nearly
three years after he had attained his
majority. In June, 1885, Mr. Gladstone
