How As. Seed Lawns.—At this season of
the year, many persons desire to reseed
or prepare new lawns, and wish to know
'what seed to use and how - to use it.
There are, perhaps, no better or safer
directions to follow in reference to this
matter, than the following : Choose, if
possible, a calm day, end sow your seed
as evenly as you can- The seed to be
sown should be a mixture of redtop
(Agrostis vulgari,) and white clover (Tri
folium repans,) which are hardy, short
grasses, and, on the whole, best designed
to make the best and most enduring lawn
for this climate. The proportion should
be about three-fourths red-top to one.
fourth clover. 'The seed should be per
fectly clean. Then sow exactly four
bushels of it to the acre. Finish the
whole by rolling the surface evenly and
neatly. A few soft, vernal showers and
bright, sunny days will show yon a coat
of verdure bright as emerald. By the
first of June, if sown in the early part.of
May, you must look about for yourmow
ere. This plan his the recommendation
of Mr. Downing, one of the best author
ities upon such subjects.
The Barley Crop.—A crop of barley
has been grown, threshed, sold,, and the
money, used to pay a note on maturity,
that was due ninety days after the sow
ing. It is the easiest of all grain crops
to harvest. Let It stand until quite ripe,
and• if the weather is fair, cat with a
reaper and leave it in full sized gavels.
In this-state-it will cure in a day or two, •
if the weather be favorable, without
turning provided there Is not too much
grass or , weeds with it. Then drive the
' wagon into the field and let two hands
pitch it on with barley forks. Handled
in this 74 . it isbright and free from dust-
If a rain falls on It while in the gavel it
does no seriouibinjury, and one turning
will suffice to dry it, if thoroughly wet;
but the gavels are - generally admirably
shaped to turn rain, - and they will rarely
centre.

Bright barley straw is highly relished
by cattle, and barley meal is excellent
feed for all kinds of stock. If there
should be too much of this grain for the
beer makers the surplus could be turned
to good account by the beef markets--

Bees Bobbing.—l read in the Westeral
BUral, of April 22, an inquiry about
:bees robbing from a distance, signed B.
• L.W.L I can give him and your numer
ous readers my way of managing bees '
when they get -to robbing each other;
whether it be my own or my neigh

that but one or two can pass out or in
the hive at the same time. When , there
are quite a number of bees gathered on.
the bottom board, I take a handful of floor
and Sprinkle all over the bees as much as ,
possible, then watch my own hives to see
if it is not my own bees. If it is, I can
see them going In my own hives with
Sour on them. When I beconie satisfied
that it is my neighbor's bees I then go a
fewrods frcim my hives in the direction
.of my neighbor that keeps bees, and
listen to see if I can hear them flying
hack and forth, and when I find where
they belong, I get a stick or 'rod about
two feet long and about the size of a pipe
stem, then sharpen the stick and run it
in the honey of each hive he has; that
seta the bees at work repairing damages
at home.. I have tried this plan several
times and have never had it fail in effectu

thirty minutes to an hour. If I'll your
ownbees fighting among th Ives,
serve them in the same manner. About
• a year ago I had eighteen swarms, and
one of my neighbors had twenty-four
swarms. Some of his were fighting a
part of his and robbed one of his hives
and were robbing other hives. The rest
robbed one for me and then commenced
on six or seven more of mine. He ran
the stick into the honey of all the hives,
and I did the same to mine, and in one
hour they were all quiet, and have never
troubled since. I have never had bees
rob except in the spring and fall.— Wm.

GARDENERS differ as to the hest time
for_transplanting evergreens. The gen
eral practice at the East is to transplant
just as the new buds begin to start, a time
which varies according to latitude, but is
usually some time in June.~ Proper care
in transplanting is quite as essential as
. the proper time, and evergreens require
more care than most trees. A brief ex
', posute of the -robts to the sun is fatal to
them' A hole a foot deep should be dug
and filled with mellow soil, into which
the - rdots should be placed at their ordi
. nary depth from the surface; they should
' th6n he well mulched with old straw or
hey; and at first watered sparingly, at
night or in cloudy weather. Excess of
water will kill them; and if they are set
too deep they will either die or grow
slowlyand with difficulty, because they
will obliged to put out new roots near
r
the s face. Evergreens are the most
beautiful of ornamental trees, beautiful
all the year round, and no display of
shrubbery is complete without them. It
is worth while to take special pains in
setting them, and once started they need
less care than almost any other trees. No
manure 'should be used about them. The
-only difficulty is in transplanting. If
anybody knows a better method than that
we have mentioned, let our public have
the benefit of it.
Green GYVE for Cows and Horses.—The
farmer whose pastures are so litinriant
that his cattle and horses find abundant
feed from May to 'November, in the open
lielda, may possibly dispense with green
crops for fodder, bat not so with the ma;
jority- During the hot dayp of summer
the grass dries up, and their beasts suffer
for nutritious food, unless they have pro
-Tided a supply of sowed corn, oats, mil
let or lucerne, which can be cut daily and
fed to t hem in the stables. ; Mulch .cows
which are fed abrindaialir with this food
will almost, invariably net their owners
, one-third more Money during the.season
than they would if forced to depend on
pastgre,alone; and horses, too , whe n ai m .
Bari) , fed, will grow fat and sleek in a
surprisingly short
,space , :.of time., Last
summer we took a large horse that bad'
been running idly in pasture, and losin g
fl e sh ;dally--stabled ' and fed him With
green sweet corn, and in two or three
weeks, he became "as fat as butter," and
might have bee* sold for $lOO more than
he would have brought when taken froth
the pasture. . , ..
We hare generally sown sugar corn in
drills for a soiling crop. ' it makes excel

.Road Dust and Vegstation.—No careful
'observer will deny that the trees along
much frequented roads, especially when
exposed to the influence of prevailing
winds, distinguish themselves in the ra
pidity of their growth and the luxuriance
of their foliage as being more thriving
than those of the neighboring wood. This
fact is being ascribed to the-dust from the
roads which is carried and deposited by
the wind upon their branches and foliage.
Dry road dust contains from eight to ten
per cent. of organic matter, arising from
the excrements of animals, from straw,
hay or , grains which may have fallen
from wagons frequenting the road. ,After
having been pulverized by carriage
wheels to a fine dust, they form a large
amount of already decomposed and read—
ily soluble nourishment for vegetable
growth. 4o_ads kept in good condition
are therefore not only important promot
ers of the civilization of the district
wherein: they are located on account of
easier trwportapon i but also because of
the immense production of an inexpen.
sive but not leas efficient fertilizer. It is
in such, at the first, unapparent causes
that an explanation of many of the de

Makiity Fruit Trees Bear East7y.
-A
remarkable patent has been applied for,
sold will be introduced to the fruit grow
ing world in alew months, which will
astonish horticulturists. It is a discovery
of an application by which the pear or
apple tree may be thrown into bearing at
a very early age, and kept loaded with
fruit steadily, year after year. The pert
ciple by which this result is produted wo
are not at liberty to make known, but
that it is correct we have the best of evi
dence. There are now a large number
of trees in full bloom in the pear and ap
ple department, which never showed the
sign of a flower till this application was
made. To prove the correctness of the
principle, any tree in the pear or apple
line, of four or five years of age or up
wards, which has never blossomed, can
be made to show blossoms on one-half-of
the head of the tree, while none appear.
on the other half. This proof of the effi
cacy of this treatment is on hund. The
application is not in the slightest degree
injurious to the tree, as its continued
state of high health, under the yearly
yield of large crops of fruit demonstrates.
Any fruit-grower can make the applica
tion. It is done Instantly and costs noth
ing except the cost of the patent right.
VERY seasonably the question of the
great advantage of cutting hay when in a
green state has been taken up by some of
our agricultural publications, although
there can be no doubt concerning the
propriety of doing so ; for every farmer
who cuts a second crop knows how
superior it is for milk-producing and
feeding purposes generally, when com
pared with hay which has been cut while
in a ripe state, and when almost all the
saccharine matter in it has gone to con
stitute woody fiber. No season has been
favorable for a trial of the.-early mow
ing plan than the present, which, so far
as we can learn, promises to be good, for
two crops—if the first is seasonably har
vested—and when the - rowen or second
crop may turn out as liberal in quantity
as the first one. The subject is one farm
ers would do well to think over and a 4
upon, even should hoeing be 'partially
neglected when the mowing season
comes. In connection with this subj,ct,
the method of drying hay in the shade,
in the cock and partially in the mow,
may also be considered.
Sweet Potato Raisimg.-31 - ,y way of
raising sweet potatoes is in hills always.
I make the hills three feet apart, each
way, and make them about eight inches
above the level of the ground, leaving
the top of the hill flat. Always set the
plants in the evening, and just before a
rain, or just after. Set the plants a little
deeper than they were in the hot-bed, so,
if the worms should cut them off, they
will grow again from the stub. By so
doing you will save transplanting. Al
ways pick a sandy spot of ground, if pos.
sable, to plant in. They will need l hoe
ing twice, and plowing three times. I
will insure a crop if so treated. You can
raise 200 bushels on an acre of groundt

To Sweeten Hew Wooden Ware. A
new churn, tub, keg, bucket, or other
wooden vessel will generally commun
icate a disagreeable taste to anything
that is put into it. Po prevent this in
convenience, first scald the vessel with
boiling water, letting the water remain
in it until cold, then dissolve some pearl
ash of soda in luke-warm water, adding
lime to it, and wash the vessel well with
this solution. Afterwards scald it well
with plain hot water, and rinse it with
cold water before you use it. The reas
on for this is the ready combination of
resinous matters with alkalines' to form
compounds soluble in water. The resin
ous substance of wood, while new, causes
a disagreeable taste and odor in substan
ces kept in wooden vessels.
