He wrote much, and thought at the

succession of crops. The seed is sow n
willi soinn grain crop, and tlin young
grass has to lake its chance. The
amount of I sown, ami the imperfect
Irealnft-nt which it gels, result in a thin
growth, and in plenty of small bare
spot over the liehl.
The xcedx of the grasxex. are many
limes .smaller than those of wheat and
corn, mill the noil which ix to receive

verization, ami not made up of lumps
and clods. The surface .should be even
and uniform, so that the xeed may be
lightly and evenly buried. Careful
and measured experiment have xhown
that line grass seed will not come up if
covered much over half :tu inch deep,
unit clover need should never hn more
than mi inch. It will not answer,
therefore, to .sow these minute, seed. on
rough and furrowed ground. Whether
the needing is done alone or with some
gram crop, it i vitally important Unit
llii linished preparation should be at
tended to. A top-dressing of lino ma
nure, in either cae, will greatly assist
in the germinating of the .seed, and in
the rapid growth of the young grass
after it has come up.
(iras. unlike Indian corn, will bear
thick sow lug and dense growth. The
quantity of seed usually used i much
too small, and the bare spots seen in
new meadows are the result. But a
moderate sowing, on :t well prepared
surface, will give :i more conivct
growth of grass, than a bushel to the
acre on a liel I of dry clods. The heav

The same advantage will be secured

In a short rotation, or when the

The thirst for niitiquitie ha also

artist holds on lo ancient form, and in
the decoration yields himself absolutely
to the whims and demands of the mar
