THE COIWALLIS GAZETTE, FRIDAY, JULY 29, 1892. GRASS SEEDING. Some of tbe Methods Practiced by New England Farmers. A. "W. Cheever, tbe agricultural editor of The New England Farmer, says that he knows of but one best way of seeding land, and that is to sow. the seed the last of July, or 1st of August, just when feature sows it, and give the grass the whole of the room. The largest and best crops he ever grew were grown in this way. Early potatoes are off in sea son for such sowing, and potato land, if kept clean from weeds, makes an excel lent seedbed for grass in August. At .this time clover may be sown with as much confidence as in the spring, but every day's delay after the first week in August endangers the success of clorcr. It must get well established and have an abundant growth of other grass with it to insure its safety through the first winter. Occasionally the month of Au gust may be so dry that seed cannot germinate as near the surface as gra&3 must be sown. He adds: I have known one or two years when the small grains could not be started for late soiling crops. So it may be advisable sometimes to sow grass seed at other seasons and take the risks. With a favorable winter, grass sown alone in September or Octo ber may do well, but if the winter is open, with much alternate freezing and thawing, the grass will probably be thrown out and destroyed. Winter rye, with its long roots and thicker foliage, may save grass sown late by shading the ground and thus holding the top soil With its grass and grain roots in place. Grass sown in autumn with grain is much more likely to do well if the grain is cut early for fodder than if left to ripen its seed. Seed production not only exhausts the soil, but the harvest comes later during the heat of summer and when the removal is a greater shock to the tender grass. My temperament is such that 1 have little patience with trying to patch up a piece of work that was badly done at the start. I always feel like rubbing it all out and then be ginning anew. In Mr. Cheever's vicinity east Mas sachusetts grain crops have come to take a secondary place with grass, which latter when sown alone, according to Mr. Cheever, is almost invariably worth more the first year than the grain and straw together would be if grain were sown with the grass and the former made the leading crop. This is espe cially true where the land is particular ly adapted to the production of hay When seeded with grass alone, gener ally tw crops are cut the first year, the first crop being cut early, even if not fully grown. Smut in Wheat. The following remedy has been found superior to others tried at the experi mental farms in Manitoba and the ter ritories, as well as by many of the farm ers in the Canadian and American north west: Take one pound of bluestone or sulphate of copper, dissolve in eight or ten quarts of water for eight bushels of wheat. Spread the wheat on the floor or in a wagon box; with a whisk or bro5m sprinkle well; then turn with the scoop and sprinkle again until every por tion has' been thoroughly moistened, which will use the amount of water specified. Now dry lime may be sifted on the seed to facilitate drying. .The lime judiciously used will not be lost, as it will go to the soil, where it is valu able plant food. Some farmers use a large vat where much seed is to be pre pared, placing the seed in a coarse sack that will admit water readily, and im mersing it in the solution for a few min utes. This is undoubtedly the better method where circumstances will admit of its adoption. Where lime 13 used to absorb the moisture the seed must be thoroughly dried before using or diffi culty will be had by the feeding apparatus of the drill becoming choked with it. . Peafowls. The cock does not attain the full -splendor of his plumage until he is 3 years old, and the hen does not lay until the same age. She lays from five to seven eggs, and sits twenty-nine days. If the first batch of eggs be taken away she will lay a second, so that by having a hen turkey foster nurse you may man ' Age to have two broods in one summer. The peahen generally chooses a very re tired spot out of the way of the peacock, who is often a cruel, unnatural father. The young must be hatched like guinea fowls and young turkeys. Unless they are fed amply and regularly they are apt to wander. When fat and hung long enough they make a delicious and splendid roast. They should be larded with slices of fat bacon, the head and neck, with fea'hers on, carefully wrap ped in paper and tucked under the wing away from the fire, and when ready set tip in purple glory to match the tail, adorned with feathers neatly stuck in at the" last moment. If you wish peafowls to agree with other poultry they must be reared with them, otherwise they are not unfrequently murderous assassins of chicks. Richardson. The .Latest Abont Silos. A Rhode Island correspondent of The New England Homestead tells how G. F. Jencks, of Lime Rock, last year built three large silos and simply covered the tops with finely cut hay. In using the silage he took it from the top, and by so doing prevented the mold that results from exposure. He kept the cut hay constantly on the top and supplied more as needed. His cows and horses ate the silage with avidity, and he could not keep the stock he now keeps without it. He furthermore says: "It has been satis factorily settled in this vicinity that silos are a valuable adjunct to a milk produeer near the large cities and whole sale markets. It has been shown that silage can be kept without the great ex pense of weighting and time at the busy season of filling the silo." Only One Clean Thing. When Jones was at Oxford he was a most excellent fellow, and only had one enemy soap. He was called Dirty Jones. One day the wag Brown went into his rooms, and remonstrating with him on the untidy, slovenly and dirty state of everything, said: "Upon my word," Dirty, it's too bad; the only clean thing in your room is the toweir London Tit-Bits. Suspicions. Doctor I believe you have some sort of poison in your system. Patient Shouldn't wonder. What was that last staff you gave roe? Exchange. - During a masked ball at Covent Gar den theater thieves made off with valu able diamonds and jewelry which they are said to have cot from the ladies iresseifc UNKNOWN TO HISTORY. The JStory of a Secluded Grave Where the Daisies Grow in Profusion. They were boy and girl together. Like flowers that grow side by side without asking why or wherefore, these two had always been together, laughed and wept together all through the dream lapse of their childhood. One day they dallied in a field where daisies grew. "Which is your favorite flower, Mar gie?" asked the boy. "Why, Harry, don't yon know? The daisy;" and she picked one as she an swered. "And why?' he queried further. "Because they have hearts of gold," she said, "which means that they are true and faithful." And then they talked of other things, while overhead the new moon silvered in the sky and colored evening came. Soon after from the lit tle cottage on the hill Margaret heard the calling of her name, and then the children said good night and went to dreams which only children know. The years rolled on and brought their changes. The boy and girl were man and woman. The country was at war. The air reverberated with the echoes of cannonade on Sumter, in which ominous peal of iron thunder every man whose blood ran young and strong had heard n;., p l.:.. , TT 1 J heard his and answered "Here!" and Margaret approved. They were engaged, and yet she bade him go. The wedding day was fixed, and yet she bade him go. Oh, woman! how sublime thou art in moments such as these! Which blood, I wonder, will be thought most sacred on the reckoning day the red blood of men shed amid the glory and the din of battle or woman's tears those colorless blood drops of the heart shed unseen amid tbe common places of existence? Which, 1 wonder, will be deemed the hero, he who gives his life and dies or she who gives her life and lives? The night before he went Harry came to say goodby. It was soft and balmy and the moon was f ulL Margaret met him at the cottage door, and they strolled ' together in the meadow where the daisies grew. She picked and gave him one. "Take this," she said, "and wear it, I Harry. Let it be the Mizpah of our separation this little flower which we I have loved together since our childhood. Lien it do our em Diem in tne tace oi death if death needs be true to the last, golden hearted to our country and j to one another. May God be merciful," she prayed and rested her head on Harry's shoulder. He took the flower, but could not speak. What else they said, what else they did, is secret of the vagrant clouds and bended treetops. All that we know is that they parted on that stilly night. Yet no one saw the moon grow paler, nor heard the woodlands shudder, nor the night wind moan; not even sobs were heard so noiseless is the breaking of a human heart, as noiseless and un heeded as the falling leaf in autumn. The days those days which seem as years crept on and brought their changes. Harry was dead and Margaret slowly dying. At first he wrote each day, and then less often, and then for weeks there came no word at all. At last a letter came, and as she opened it a withered daisy fell upon her lap. She read as follows: "It is the eve of battle; tomorrow we fight our first great fight. I shall place the daisy which you gave me in this let ter when completed, and wear the letter next my heart. If 1 be of those who stay upon the field some . friendly hand. I know, will speed this letter on its way. but if She read no more. Her hands dropped listlessly at her sides: the letter dropped. Motionless she gazed, like one en tranced, through the open window where she sat; she saw the field where they had picked the daisies in their childhood the field where they had said goodby the field where they should never meet again; then suddenly a dark ness, as of moonless night, fell on her vision and she swooned away. Then came the sickbed, then the days of hope, of despair, and then sweet death. Her grave is in the little churchyard of the village and bears these words: : . DIED TOK HER COUNTRY. I i MARGARET MAYFIELD, j : AGED 231863. : Should you chance that way and want to see the spot, ask some one for the frave where daisies grow! New York imes. Perfectly Clear. In Doctor Pierson's description of life in the southwest as he saw it many years ago "before the war" he speaks often of the peculiar turns of speech there prevalent. He was once present at an ecclesiastical meeting, where motions were piled upon each other until mat ters were in a frightful muddle. Final ly the moderator was appealed to for a decision. He rose from his seat, as became a pre siding officer thus appealed to, and lift ing his lank form till his head was among the rafters of the low school house he hesitated a moment and then said: "Brethren, my decision is that you are all ahead of the hounds." Doctor Pierson confesses that he did not fully comprehend the meaning of the words, but he could not help seeing that the decision was perfectly clear and satisfactory to the assembly. An Imprisoned Genius. Alberto Lopaz, who was taken to Yuma recently to serve a two years' term for burglary gave his personal ef fects to his friends about the jail. Deputy Barry was presented with a fac simile of the episcopal church made out of pasteboard. Lopaz could see the church from one of the jail windows, and he reproduced it almost perfectly. He borrowed a knife from Deputy Sheri dan with which he cut up the paste board, and then made paste from' flour with which to stick the pieces together. It is a piece of workmanship to be proud of. The greatest production of Lopaz while confined in jail here is a reproduc tion of the magnificent Merchants' ex change building in Guadalajara. The entire affair is constructed of paper. On the inside of the building are ihe stairways, etc., each perfect in -its con struction. The prisoner must be pos sessed of a memory much stronger than most men are, to remember every detail of that large structure for a number of years. However much genius the man possessed, he has made bad use of it. Phoenix Herald. A WARNING-DONT USE BIG WORDS. In promulgating esoteric cogitations or articulating superlieial sentimentalities and philosophical or psychological observations, beware of platitudinous ponderosity. Let ycur statements possess a clarified concise ness, compacted comprehensibleness, coale scent consistency and a concentrated cog. ency. Eschew all conglomerations of flatulent garrulity, jejune babblement and asinine af fectations. In trying tc impress upon otbers the superiority of the Wisconsin Central Lines, and why you and so many others nse this thoroughfare from St. Paul and Min neapolis and Duluth and Ashland to Mil waukee, Chicago and points east and south, it is not necessary to use jawbreakers. Let your extemporaneous descantfngs and un premeditated expatiations have intelligibil ity and veracious vivacity, without rhodo montade or thrasonical bombast. Sedulously avoid all polysyllabic profundity, psittace ous vacuity, ventriloqual verbosity-and van diloquent vapidity, shun double entendres, prurient jocosity and pestiferous profauity, obscurent or apparent. In other words, talk plainly, naturally, sensibly, and truth fully say the Wisconsin Central Lines is tub route, and that ends it. lh is onice Mas been tavoreu witn a com plete catalogue and price list of the Ever green Nurseries, of jtverareen, Wis. This irsery is well known throughout the west, viiii! been many years established. The - .i.ri.'t. r, Mr. Geo.

Of course, having such a large trade and growing them in such large 'uautities, he 13 able to give better prices for the same quality of trees than any other nurseryman in tlm country.
