Better Hay and Pastures.
Any one passing through agricultural
dlfitrloU, say In Juue. when the herbage
has about or nearly reached its full
growth, must notice how much land Is
only half or a quarter utilised, by allow
lug the unchecked growth of all sorts of
weeds. A large proportion of this land
is postured, and the way the poor battle
have to seek out the little grass from
among the overwhelming weeds Is a
source of actual sadness. These pasture
fields, too, are allowed to go on produc
ing noxious weeds for a series, of years
without an effort being made to get rid
of them by the source made known to
the observing farmer frequent cultiva
tion. Then, again, we see the same
proportion of weeds in many fields from
which the cattle hay is to be cut, and
this Is done year after year, just as
though cows and other cattle would eat
the weeds any more readily dry than
green.
It Is as apjfcuent as the sun at noon
day that to whatever extent weeds are
allowed to grow just to that extent
is the land wasted, in fact worse than
wasted. Now that this can be avoided
is clear ; and that it can be profitably
avoided in the most cases scarcely admits
of doubt. And what Is true of the
pasture-fields is the same where the
herbage is left to become hay. The good
clean field is the exception. Not only
theoxeye daisy, but sorrel and plalntaln,
and asters of various kinds, which cat
tle care no more for when dry than
when green, constitute the bulk of what
Is to be bay; audit is tolerably good
stulF which has but one-fourth extrane
ous matter.
We have before suggested that our ag
ricultural societies, which give so many
and such high premiums for fast trot
ting horses, might at least spare a little
for the encouragement of the food which
the noble animal is to eat. Premiums
for well grown hay, clean hay, hay from
Improved grasses and well-managed hay
fields, would surely be objects worthy of
the attention of even a State Agricultural
Society and we think that It will become
so if the press will unite in commending
the subject to general attention.
Surely there Is no greater eyesore than
a field, looking as If it might produce
thirty bushels of wheat, seventy-five of
com, or from two to three tons of first
class hay to the acre, allowed to be cover
ed with masses of noxious weeds, which
can and should be destroyed. A mer
chant from the city who may pass
through a rural section, and seeing these
myriad of oxeye daisy flowers, will al
most Invariably aBk why they are there,
and if they cannot be exterminated and
grain raised instead.
A Wash for Fruit Trees.
Prof. CyruB Thomas, state etomolo
glst of Illinois, says: " Insects-and mil
dews ; injurious to the leaves of seedling
and root grafts, can be kept in subjection
or destroyed by a free use of a combina
tion of lime and sulphur. . Take of quick
or uuslacked lime four parts, and of
common flowers of sulphur one part
(four pounds of sulphur to one peck of
lime ;) break up the lime in small bits,
than, mixing the sulphur with it in a
tight vessel (Iron is the best,) pour on
them enough boiling water to slack the
lime to a powder, cover the vessel close
as soon as the water is poured on. This
makes also a most excellent whitewash
for orchard trees, and Is very useful as a
preventive of blight on pear trees, to
cover the wounds in a form of a paste
when cutting away dlseased;parts ; also
for coating the trees in April. It may
be considered as the one specific for
many noxious insects and mildew in
the orchard and nursery; its materials
should always be ready at band ; its
materials should be quite fresh, as it
would in time become sulphate of lime
and so lose its potency. Wherever
dusting with lime is spoken of this
should be used. This preparation should
besprinkled over the young plant as
soon as, or before, any trouble from
aphides, thrlps or mildew occurs, early
in the morning while the dew is on the
trees. This lime and sulphur combina
tion is destructive to these pests in this
way : First, by giving off" sulphuric acid
gas, which Is deadly poison to minute
life, both animal and fungoid; and the
lime destroys by contact the same
thiugs, besides Us presence is noxious to
them ; neither is it injurious to com
mon vegetable life, except in excess,
unless the lime to the foliage or ever
greens. Pie Crust Glaze.
To prevent juice soaking through into
the crust and making it soggy, wet the
crust with a beaten egg Just before you
put in the pie mixture. If the top of
the pie is wet with the egg it gives it a
beautiful browu.
