ROLt.tNa MKADOW LA1TD. Eolling the meadow, and some' times the pantnre land, as soon as the frost leaves the pround in the spring, is often done by prnetical farmers. The aetion of frost often throws many stones to the surface, and when the pronnd beoomes settled these impedi ments are thus left in a position to cause serious ininry to the onttmir atv paratns of the mowinpr machine. Uiv on land liable to heavo by action of frost the snrface soil is left uneven, many tufts of timothy are nearly thrown oat of the soil, and these the roller presses down smooth, not only insuring a better and more healthy growth, but leveling the field for the more economical gathering of the crop. Fall sown wheat and rye fields are often benehted by rolling, which should be done the same day that the Held is seeded to clover, or soon after, as the action of the roller, in crush ing lumps and mellowing the snrface, makes a good seed bed and covers a large proportion of tho clover seed. American Agriculturist. SHTtltP AND JJATTRK. Amonfr the manv enriona tliinmi learned at tho World's Fair was the fact that tho American Merino sheep was destined to be subdivided into types. This suspicion had previously existed with those who had closely observed tho tendency to vary from what was once supposed to be an es tablirthed and necessary standard. In tho past these tendencies were ac counted for by careless breeding and not always complimentary to the line of blood and veracity of the breeders. Here at the Fair, side by side, were exhibited the same sheep in blood, but widely different in size, form and covering. Nature had asserted her prerogative in spite of register as sociations, and changed the type of the books to suit the environment The fittings were complete ; the pas turage of the various regions repre sented were exactly retlected in the size, vigor and fleece qualities of the sheep. This was well illustrate 1, and some curious reflections were in the minds of all students of Bheep and the influences of their environments. The only observations heard from critical experts were, "What a difference I" The lessons carried away to be pon dered over at times of greater leisure will be prolific of good later on. The sheep raisers have been copying other folks in breeding and attempting to conform nature to types, instead of studying nature's independence of theories, standards, and types, and tnrning this to their own advantage. It is along these lines that the Ameri can sheep breeder must study his own best and possible interests. American Farmer. TO GROW THB FINEST TOMATOES. Select a sandy loam with a southern exposure. int on welt rotted stable manure at the rate of ten to fifteen loads per acre. Plow and harrow well, so that it may be thoroughly in corporated with the soil, or in place of this two or three shovelfuls of rich compost may be added to each hilL Sow the seed and sow only that pur chased from reliable dealers, or saved from the finest, earliest specimens, in the hot bed on the 1st of March. When two inches high transplant into cold frames three or fonr inches apart. Be sure to shade and water the plants until well rooted. Transplant again when four inches high eight inches apart. This will make fine, stocky plants, with strong roots. Of course, protect the cold frames from frosts or storms by covering v. n necessary, but manage to give light and air as soon as possible after the danger is over. By all means be careful not to set the plants in the open air until all danger from late frost is over. The risk is too great and you gain nothing, as the plants are growing faster. If properly transplanted, the earth made "firm" around the stalks, they will be retarded very little. It is better if possible to set just before a rain, or, if this cannot be done, lata in the afternoon, so that they may have the coolness of the night to revive in, but if strong plants are well set they will wilt but little, and in a day or two will look as thrifty as ever. Set the plants four by four feet each way, with the exception of the dwarf champion, which will bear three by three feet. Cultivate both ways with a horse cultivator. Should an unex pected froHt occur after settling in the open ground the plants niuy be saved, unless very badly frozen, by a thor ough sprinkling of cold water. We once saved half an acre by this means ; but it must be done before sunrise. In tho north, where frost comes eurly in tho fall, pull the vines before frost; throw them in a large pile or piles and cover with hay or straw. Green tomatoes, matured enough, will ripen and repay you for the trouble. Xew England llouiebtead. PAUSNUH. It is said that the Jersey and Guern sey cows iu their native inlands ure fed largely w ith parsnips, and whether such food for luuny generations has been an importaut element iu form ing their luadiug characteribties or not, it is very evident that such food is very consistent with the develop ment of the butter-nmkiug cow ; and it might be well for such of our dairy men as grow root crops instead of ensilage to give more attention to this vegetable. 1'artmips can be grown with loss troublo than carrots, from the fact that the plant is larger when it first comes up, and is more readily seen and distiuguished from weeds. After the first weeding there is no nore particular work to bo douo thuu with any other hoed crop that is well tended. The soil should bo deeply plowed aud enriched and fitted as well us fur a parsnip bed iu a garden, und this can be done on a half acre iu the Weld where a team cau be used as (jtW'ly tw a small patch cuu be pre pared by hand. Naturally moist soil is no objection if it can be made dry enough to pot the soed in early, and when it cannot, the seeds are some times sown in the fall, when the soil is in good condition, as the plants are perfectly hardy. Get good aoed, and do not sow too thickly. The great drawback with beginners in gTowing root crops is thoir fear of thinning out enough. It is one of the hardest things for them to learn. Whon a man has made up his mind that he will do this, it is bettor to sow by machinery and thin out than to attompt to fret the proper amount of seed in tho right place by hand. On rich soil tho rows should be thirty inches apart, and the plants not loss than throe inches apart in the row, and at those distances we have had the tops form a dense mass all over the ground. There are two strong points in favor of pars nips. They can be loft in the ground all winter without injnry, and if dug and put in the collar, where they wither, they do not lose their taste aa turnips and beets do. They seem to retain all the sugar when the water evaporates. People who have only grown a few in a crowded bod in the garden have little idea how large a parsnip will grow or how large a crop cau be grown per aero. Three inches in diameter at the top and a foot long should be the average size, with good Cultivation. They are good for any animal that will eat them, aud can be made to take the place of potatoes to a great extent on the family table, Mirror and Farmer. BONE I OR WWW, Amonr? the npnftRriiti.wnf i.1ia nrtnltw breeder is crushed bone, writes B. But ler in the American Agriculturist. This comes in thrnA forma (in. aa a finoly-ground product, called bone meal ; one as a coarser product, the articles beint? thn riza nf . nl grain of wheat, or a bit . larger, and called granulated bone ; aud one still coarser, and sold nndnr thn form nf chicken bone or crushed bone. The feeding values of these three forms are very similar, thoucb thn finnr llmlvin. the more quickly is it taken up by the system of the fowls. Bone meal is eSDOoiallv snitahlA for f.A1inr - t v j young chickens, and for use in mixing mm gruuuu grains in niaenes and mixtures.

It has, of course, a greator value for growing chicks than for those already grown. Fed to the growing stock, it almost invariably prevents leg-weakness, an ailment that atfacta chickens especially of the larger breeds which have grown to a rapidly. For old fowls it furnishes the materia needed for the repair of the bony structure. Bone also has a valnn m grit. It is not the best grit to be had ; but for a short time, before the bone begins to soften, it affords aRnlisfun that helps fowls to grind their other iooa. rone is valuable lor laying hens. In some WAV fllP nrinanlinta nf . - -J - t -f . lime in the bone is transformed into the carbonate of lime which forms the shells of the ecrcra. liens havinimlonftr of bone seldom lay eggs with shells, or wnn very tnm shells. At least, I know that in mv exDerience thn hnn which have had free aocoss to bone have laid eggs with strong shells. I have observed, also, that the hens which have bad bone as they required uave ibiu more ireeiy tnan those which lacked it. so that it would bone was of value as an egg food, euner uirectly furnishing gome of the Constituents of the ep-rr nr fnrniuliinrr the system with some support that en- aDiou me iowis to release other con stituents that eaa nrodtintinn m. quired. J. he best way to fed the nnnA if either granulated or crushed hnna ia used, is to fill a email box with it, and let the hens eat of it as they wish.-' They will not over-eat if the bone is tree iroin meat, ana no lurther care is necessary than to replenish tho box from time to time. Henx r1 m,t a.,. pear to be very fond of dry bone, aud i i i , . wueu ii is nep constantly hoiore them will eat it rather slowlv. If. hownvnr the bone has a little meat on it, they appear quite greedy for it. The green bones, ground in a bone mill, contain meat, fat and marrow iu greater or less quantities, and of this the fowls are very fond. This is an excellent food for hens whan fed judiciously: but in the feeding of it one cannot trust the heus' appetite, but must regu late tho quantity by hisown judgment. Oiven just enouyh, the hens will lay very freely, aud will handsomely re pay their owner for the oost of the boue mill and the trouble of furnish ing the ground bone. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. Lime is good for apple trees. Plant diseases seldom start in good soils. A quick growth is essential in grow ing crisp, tender vegetables. Trimming out well is the best remedy for mildew with apple trees. Iu growing onions it is the early sown seed that gives the best results. There is no advantage in Betting strawberry plants in ridges, exoept iu low, wet land. While it may often be best to culti vate an old orchard, such cultivation should be shullow. Usually it is easier to plant fruit trees than to give afterward tho care that is essential to success. Taking all things into consideration there is no other fruit bo certain ot giving a full crop annually as the strawberry. A weed is a plant out of place, and this is its much true iu the gardeu or orchard as anywhere else, aud whether the plant is a vegetable, weed or fruit plauV TEMPERANCE. alcohol's ALrnAMtT.
