CLARK'S GRASS CULTURE. 
At a meeting of the Grange at North Leo¬ 
minster, Mass., Mr. Geo. M. Clark, the 
grass man, gave a talk on his favorite 
topic. Among other things he said: 
“I wish emphatically to say there is no 
such thing as wornout lands; they are sim¬ 
ply dormant. Intense cultivation is the 
principal thing needed to renew and give 
life to the soil. It must be worked, entire¬ 
ly worked, 20 times at least, more than 
now. The old sod should be made into 
plant food right away, the surface of the 
land should be kept true, and worked to 
an even depth of at least six inches. The 
land should be worked as much as 30 times 
in July and August and seeded September 
1 in this latitude. It is a fact that Timothy 
and Red-top must be sown, completed and 
finished at the same date. In other words, 
a field sown in part Monday and again in 
part Saturday of the same week will never 
produce any grass from the seed sown Sat¬ 
urday, for the reason that the seed sown 
Monday will take possession of the field. I 
use 14 quarts of Timothy and 14 quarts of 
recleaned Red-top to each acre. I use bone, 
muriate of potash and nitrate of soda for 
fertilizer. These fertilizers as a whole cost 
not more than $3 per ton of hay produced. 
How often should t’he land be reseeded? I 
should say once in five or six years. It 
takes 10 months to produce a crop, and 40 
days from the time it starts in the Spring, 
with this cultivation, a drought will not 
harm it so much. The Winter storms al¬ 
ways give water in the Spring, intense cul¬ 
tivation, with perfect connection with the 
subsoil, give an early start, and from three 
to five inches more water will make the 
first crop. The old field cannot do it. This 
new method will always make a large first 
crop, and in 15 years I have never failed to 
get a large first crop. Timothy and Red- 
top should be cut as soon as half the heads 
show full blossom. Two to three days of 
good sunshine will cure heavy grass, but 
with poor weather time only tells. I always 
heap my hay when hot, say from two to 
four o’clock P. M. I always cut my second 
crop just before frost. I never pasture my 
grass fields. I do not think it pays to ferti¬ 
lize old fields. Keep your grass fields clean 
and fertilize every crop. While the average 
farmer may not be able to carry out my 
full scheme, yet he can cultivate more in¬ 
tensely, seed and fertilize, and give the 
grass the first chance, thus doubling his 
present product.”

Good Apples.— From our little orchard of 
just about one acre of ground we gathered 
260 bushels of fine, smooth Ben Davis and 
Lankford. The trees are 14 years old. Not 
all the trees bore this season, either. The 
above amount was the product of 25 trees, 
some of which went as high as 14 bus’hels 
per tree. I am preparing to plant 150 more 
apple trees this Autumn. I believe there 
is money in well-cared-for apple orc’hards. 
Spraying, however, is just the difference 
between fruit and no fruit, profit and loss, 
success and failure. I like to plant good 
one-year-old trees which I shall keep low¬ 
headed and stocky by the Hitchings and 
Vergon plan of pruning, and vigorous and 
healthy by their mode of culture, which 
is the only way that is practicable here on 
our steep slopes. I want to plant Rome 
Beauty, York Imperial, Missouri Pippin, 
Stayman and Grimes this Fall.
