To reproduce English turf in tlieface of American drouths and heat not bepossilde; to better the common clover and timothy practice, with its frequent thin results and speedy running out, is svirely feasible. Instead of tliree or four varieties, ten to fifteen or tweutv are used; tall and short grasses, coarse and fine, late and early sorts, are deftly combined in vary- ing proportions according to the end in view. Below the taller grasses was a thick mat of finer kinds, and the close, rich turf hid every particle of soil. There did not seem to be room for another spear of grass. Going over to an ordinary timothy meadow near by, the contrast was striking. The individiial spears in a foot square could easily be covmted; "standing-room" for more was abundant. The soil had not been '"worked for all it w^as worth," and the thoughtful farmer might do some sviggestive figviring. From "American Agriculturist," published in New York City. BEST ORASSES FOR. HAY AND EOR PASTURE. By a judicious choice of seeds, mixtures have been effected which will give con- stant pasturage in this climate from spring until late in the autumn. Timothy, and in many parts " and clover," is the standard grass in the country. While timothy is a valuable grass, there are some other kinds so much better, which last longer, yield a heavier crop, will stand various climatic and soil conditions better, it is astonishing that the ma,iority of farmers should still stick to the timothy without even giving one or more of the otherkinds
