In a wild or uncultivated tate Ihuse plants begin their growth at the me indicated; this Is nature's appointment, Tne lerefore, aud Is best suited to the wants of ... ie plants. In northern latitudes, where tiniest freezes prevail, snow protects the oung plants during winter:; in the South nicer and stronger autumu growth must ike the place of the snow covering. in am As winter grasses abound more In northern retur, :>an In southern latitudes, the conclusion ? ,n ;emod natural that 1 he heat of southern elllates was prejudicial to these plants; aud one j tep further In the same direction seemed rea- wr mabie, to-wi,t, that they needed shade in the outh. Hence the practice of seeding grass r p S nd clover with small grains to get the benefit r;'or,')n f their shndd. .

Our observation Is that fatr,!!, tore is lost than gained. In the first place jue' tie projecting shade is taken away Just when con, lost nmled ; grain is harvested in June and on i.ls uly when the greatest heat and severest a nA rough is prevail. Plants accustomed to par- pe'rvic al shade are then suddenly exposed to. in- j.ao.? msest heat. But this isnot all. In the case nmi m f Krasi.es proper, the grain crops make deland upon the soli for exactly the same food le grasses need. Being larger and more vig- sc > rous ar, the start, the former over-master the i?'Pvn( rass at the beginning and get the lion's share rjre. f the food. At harvest, therefore, the ?rass riP(. i suddenly exposed to the fiercest rays of the v in when It is comparatively starved and cak from the unequal stru(j?le.
