Fall Seeding. Those farmers who intend to
do any fall seeding with timothy should at once
provide the seed, if it be not already secured.
There is a growing practice of fall seeding with
timothy without a grain crop, and the best farm
ers agree that it is the safest and best way to es
tablish meadows. Xnmerons experiments have
been made by members of the Elmira Farmers'
Club in this way of laying down worn lands to
Srass, and the results have uniformly proved the
excellence of the method. Aided by the fall
rains the growth is generally sufficient to with
stand the hardships of winter, provided the seed
be sown early enough, say the first half of Sep
tember, although there is not much risk aiiy
time in the month. The next season a good clip of
grass is afforded, and if growth be stimulated by
a moderate surface dressing of well rotted barn
yard manure slightly incorporated with the soil
by the harrow before the seed is applied there
may be even a heavy growth in the next season.
But such grass rs net as good for feeding as the
product of old meadows. As farmers express it,
it docs not wear. But it is very palatable, there
fore is eaten with avidity. The only trouble is
that more of it is required.
We commend the practice of fall seeding in
dependent of the grain crop to those who are
engaged iu stock or dairy farming, believing
that once adopted it will meet with Increased
favor. But in this, as iu all farming, the work
must be thoroughly done. Xo proCt will come
from scratching the stnbble of an oat field pre
paratory to the timothy seed. Southern Tier
Lender.
Actcmn Work. There is always more cr less
building goiDg on through the country, and con
sequently much requiring to be done, by arrang
ing the grounds, whether it be by laying out
everything new, or remodeling an old place. It
may not he out of place to remind those having
such work to be done, that it will soon be time
to make the necessary arrangements for com
mencing, so that the hardy trees and shrubs may
be planted this fall, and thereby gain a season,
and by so doing the lawn conld be ready to be
sown down next spring, and the place have a
linUbed appearance the following fall.
Breeding tor Milk. tieilers which are al
lowed to come in at two years old will never be
so large as they would otherwise have been, bnt
are almost invariably greater milkers. The ef
fort of nature in the growing dam to supply
nourishment for her calf determines the system
toward the production of milk, which becomes a
life-long characteristic. During the growing
period the manipulation of the ndder is grateful
to the heifer, especially as she approaches calv
ing, and if no effort be made to bring milk, an
nnnatural secretion will not take place.
Daviso Fkvit. Commence as soon as faliv
mature. If large quantities are to be preserved
iu this way, it will pay to get a fruit drier of
some kind, but as most private families only dry
enough for home use, the common method is to
employ the heat of the sun. Where there are
hot-bed sashes, these may be nsed to great ad
vantage. A frame raised a foot or so from the
ground upon legs, and covered with sashes, will
dry fruit aud vegetables rapidly and cheaply.
Make ventilating holes and coves with gauze.
Salt to a Pound of Bctter. At a recent
meeting of the SV.ton Farmers Club, Pa., the
question was asked, "Flow niuca sjouM be put
in a pound of butter I" One answered, half ac
ounce ; another gave the recipe of Sharpless, the
noted dairyman of Chester county, which is on
ounce of sail to three pounds of batter.
Cabbage. ani Cauliflowers. In order t(
have these early iu tha spring, sow the seed i:
open ground about the middle of this month
the plants, as soon as large enough, ara to b
pricked out into cohl-frames. Hoe the Iat
crops often, and if the sing appears, dust witt

seive onions by nailing them in bandies oa tb
