AGRICULTURAL. 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 | !o. 7 anuwfrd Tom, “hav, voa cor* Ito stop to this hotel, to< ?
