SowingGrass.—Taking otui year
with Another, gras* so©d that is
sown early will generally make the
lest growth and yield/ and tor this
reason care should ha taken to
have the seed on hand so as to sow
ia good season. Avery good plan
m to wait until after (lie naiddle of
February, and when there is a light
fall oF snow, sow the seed broad
est. One of the principal advan
tages of sowing grass 9ced on the
snow is that it is somewhat easier
to sow properly, for whore the seed
is sown it wilt show plainly, and
there is less danger of skipping
place* or of sewing over parts of
the field (he aecond time. There
is no economy in stinting the seed
If the best yield of grass is to be
made it is necessary to get a good
stand, and plenty of seed is essen
tial to the end.
Clover can be sown alone, with
oats or with gnss. Asa rule, if
grass seed is to be mingled with
clover, orchard grass should be ub
•and, for the reason that orchard grass
and clover ripen at about the same
time, while nearly all other varie
ties of grasses ripen somewhat laf
er. And then the best quality of
hay can not be obtained so readily.
Another goad plan is to sow
whan the ground is frozen, but is
thawing out. The seed will sink
deep enough in the sail to germin
ate. Some prefer to sow clover, or
even grass seed, by thoroughly prs
paring the scil with a good tooth-1
harrow and rolling if necessary,!
then sowing the seed and using a
light harrow er brush to cover.
Nearly, if not quite all grass seeds
ara small and tender and need on
ly a light covering to be in a condi
tio* to germinate.
As a rule, the batter start ta
grow tho plants got, tho better able
they will be fo withstand the heat
and dry weather in summer. And
it is thsroforo quite an item to
maka a good early start by sowing
the seed as soon as the condition
of the soil will admit.
Tha Century's Improved Farm
T tols. —Nearly all the improve
ments that aver have been made m
the nineteenth contry. At the be
giiting of the present oentury the
best implements they had were
the old fashion wooden plow with
a few pounds of iron clumsily litt
er! lo the beam and mold board,
the sickle, or cradle, for the grain
crop, tha hand Hail for threshing
grain and the suvtlie for making
hay.
The old time plow is described
as made of wood, iron shed, large,
ill-shaped aid cumbersome, drawn
by from one to six yoke of oxen,
requiring ene and ©fieri two men
to hold it, another fo ride on tha
l e iru to keen it in the ground,
t-:i 11 another to keep it clear, and
ilia (Invars, sometimes four to six
ras;i, uevor less than two, to plow
an acre a day.
Now we have plows that, with a
light soil, one man with two hors:-
fc-s will plow handsomely two and
a half acres per day. Then there
i- a long list of cultivators and har
rows, and revolving hoes aad ru- 1
CO 1
nitron* other implements, which
prepare and cultivate the ceil bet
ter by far than ever before, nearly
doing away with the hoa, one man
doing tha work ofsovora! men with
old-time tools.
The mowing machine, with two
horsea and a driver, will mow ten
or twelve acres daily and the horse
rake, two horses and dryer, will
rake up twenty acres daily.
VY ith the sickle, or reap hook, a
man could reap and bind hifrdlvan
acre daily—now, with a harvester
and binder, a man, with two good
horses, will cut and bind tifloon to
twenty acres daily. And 10 on
through the whole lists of improve
ments in farming utensils.
Formerly with a hand Hail a
man would thresh six t© ten bush
el* ot grain in h day; now a thresh
ing machine, two horses and two ©r
three mon will thresh ad clem
hundreds of bushels daily. On the
benaaza farms in Dakota and Cali
fernia, they with a few teams reap,
thresh, winnow and bag hundrods
and thousands of bushels of grain
daily.
A Miner’s Experience.
It tall* to our lot to record an in
cident that causes a shudder in its
contemplation, a week ago lasi
Sunday Tom Ili'an, well known in
these parts, left William*’ ranch
for a prospecting tour for the day.
For all that Ryan is given to bibu
lous proclivities, This day he was
himself, as we have freoa reliable
authority, and had boea for eevor
al days. Attiring himself to suit his
intended excursion, Ryan struck
out, and that was tho last seen of
him for six days. Queries k rd been
made regarding his non appear
ance, but no knowledge o! his ex
istence could be obtained.
Last Saturday William M, Cann
and Frank Cavanaugh were in
search of the missing man. a few
hundred yards above the residence
of John Williams, in Old Woman's
Gulch, they passed an abandoned
tunnel. At the suggestion of one fo
sear jh tha place with tho possibdi
fr of finding the object of their
search, with lighted candle they eta
tered. Cautiously they grouped
their way into tho tunnel, when
suddenly they found themselves on
tho brink of a shaft. Peering ov
er llis edge with their lighted can
dle tney could see no bottom. They
called out, but no answer came.
Listening, thoy heard a sound; a
sound as of som one breathing
heavily. Again they called and an
answer came. Assistance was then
called, and by a rope Cavanaugh
J was lowered t® the bottom ofib?
hole, where lay Tom Ryan. “HeJ
