' grows with more til irons and < xteiid
ed roots, and w ILL maintain it* hold
U|xm the soil for YNRS. Tin sami
is true of Orchard gra--, wh h H,S A
vary strong root. This GRASS starts
early, i* tirst to head out, and W ill
produce the nio-t afler-growth of any
variety. It i* not so wall adapted
to m adowM, on account of the spare
in s of ST. MS, making the yield of
hay light in comparison with Timo
thy and LA. I Top.
The < are of tin a low s ji, order to
insure p< rnianc nee, is the ni\t im
portant consideration. Tin y ate often
injured by allowing the grass,* to
In come too ripe Iw'forc cutting, which
weakens the roots. It is better to
cut the grass while the stems are
sufficiently green, and the juice* na
tive, so that a new growth will imme
diately commence. This will protect
the plants from the scorching rav of
the sun, and keep up the full vigor of
the roots. It can not be expected
that a meadow < an l>e shorn of all
life-giving verdure, during the hot,
dry weather of mid-summer, and
maintain a healthy condition. The
meadows designed to be permanent,
should be mowed first in the season,
and never so pastured as to leave the
crowns or tops of the roots of the
grasses exposed. In fields where the
ground is moist, inclining to wetness,
an exception may Ik- made, as a new
growth will lie rapidly produced. It
is essential that there should be n
surface protection when w inter sets
in. Meadows may Ik; strengthened
to make larger yields, and in fact,
almost renewed, by spreading manure
over them in the autumn. Anotln r
dressing of plaster in the spring will
be hcncflciul. These extra attentions
to meadows are unusual, but will
abundantly repay the labor. The
rolling of niendows early in the
spring pushes the roots started up by
the frost back into the soil, and
smoothes down uneven surfaces for
the mowing machine. In a very dry
time, when tho hay is ripe, the stub
ble should lie itoit at least two inches
in height, so that, there mav bo a lit
tie juice left in the ylant. This lack
of thought and care <jn the part of
farmers, ia the reason why meadows
so frequently fail. They are roost •
I
ellcctiiully beheaded. Wo can never
1 expect in our clmngcahh and severe
climate, to possess permanent mead
own which arc so natural to (treat
llriliiiii, < xcepting on bottom lands,
hut by following can-fully the : uggi"-.
lions here given, greater pi-rinnnency
may he given to them- This is more
desirable after the labor and expense
• of making a meadow smooth, and
clearing it of stones for the mowing j
machine. The annual wear and tear ,
t to a mower run over atones, will pay !
for lilting the land. This is often
forgotten by those who work on a
' temporary basis. Permanency and |
painstaking are far better grounds
for sucee- -fill farming.

would Ire oflcner used. For ail

DEAD and decaying Canada thistle
roots make good manure for corn,
potatoes or most anything else ; but
it is very important that the roofs be
dead, not trying to push up new
shoots, and tiins robbing the soil of
moisture nnd fertility. The roots of
Canada thistles thoroughly bccupv
the subsoil, and in their decay allow
ntr and light to change its texture.
We do not advise growing thistles
as manure, hut simply the utilising
them where they exist. We can say
of the Canada thistle what Gen.
Sherman is reported to have said of
the Independents, vix: "The onlv
good Indian is a dead Indian."
When killed the Canada thistle is of
some use as a fertilizer ; before death
it is a pest for any purpose.
