Some varieties of not very common grasses aro rendered almost worth- less to many farmers from Jack of knowledge els t0 the best time to cut them. Orchard grass and meadow fescue need to be out very early or they will soon become woody and in - nutritious, There would be bettor demand for these grasses it their pe- culiarities were better understood. In their season they aro palatable and nutrioioes. At this season there will be more or less weeds that have escaped the cultivator and hon in potato hills. If a good soaking rain comes those weeds may be pulled without Injury to the crop. If dry weather prevails the weeds should bo cut off near tbo ground to lessen the absorption of moisture as nand) as possible, but without disturbing the soil. which might in a dry time injure the pot. atticsIre 1110011 as the weed could do. Many kinds of weeds find their hast refuge in the fence corners, and hang around the ortlskcrt1 of the Sold long nftor they have been destroyed in the centre, where tha plow and the cultivator have free course, A fanner who tries hard to free his iiolde from weeds and is balked by this difficulty soon begins to ask him- self whether this offending fence is a necessity. In a great majority of cares the answer to this question will be that it is not. Iu many places formers neglected to seed wheat fields last fall with tim °thy, ox last spriug with clover, and es a result do not now know what to do with them. They intend to sow wheat after wheat, Dui the Bessinn iiy makes this a doubtful policy. Per. haps as good use of such fields may bo got by fell plowing, sowing with barley and seeding with clover in the spring. As good a catch of plover is often got with barley as with wheat, It is always bad policy to crop bearing orchards, and ono reason for this is that it generally prevents their pasturing by pigs, which are the best scavengers for destroying wormy fruit with its °entente. The apples in our markets would be fairer if pigs had the range of apple orchards, and the pigs themselves would be more healthful food. If not ringed pigs will give an orchard all the plowing it needs, wiih no danger of injury to the tree roots. Farmers whose land is rioh enough to grow two or throe tone of clover hay per acre, aro apt to conclude after a few years' experine° in ear. Ing it that it is worth more to plow under than for any other purpose. This is especially true in seasons when wet weather makes clover diffi- cult to cure.

ORDERED WORK seeds which are grown on ono farm are thus spread over the entire neighborhood. They get into the manure pile, and are time carried to plaoes where they are not looked for, and get a headway which years of hard labor will not entirely destroy. Careful farmers should look to ibis, and have the threshing machine well cleaned when coming from farms known to be fowl. Bank -growing potaloea are not much troubled by the potato beetle, so long as there aro small weakly ones growing beside them. It ie not to be inferred from this that the rank growth is distasteful to the larva. The truth is that a heavy mass of leaves holds so inuoh moist- ure ubt1l late in fife day that eggs laid on these leaves will often fail to hatch. The small plants dry out quickly, and the potato beetle, es- pecially in moist, pool times, selects these on which to deposit its ogge. SATISACTORY WORK.
