[Author of " John Halifax, Gentleman." Orchard Gras. For Pasture. Chas. L. Flint, in his work on Grasses, says of Orchard Grass (Duct'jlis glam era (a :) "This is one of thc most valuable and widely-known bf ai] thc pasture grasses, h is common to every country in Europe, to the north ol Africa, aud to Asia, as weil as tu America. Its culture, was in troduced into England from Virginia, where it had boen cultivated sonic years previoiisdy, iii 17G4. lt furn.s one of the most common grasses of English natura! pasturer, ??n rich. deep, moist soils. Ir became, soon after its introduction into England; an object of special agricultural interest among cattle feeders, having been found tu bo exceedingly palatable to stock of ail kind-. Its rapidity nf growth. Inc luxuriane?! ??i its aftermath,, and its p i.vvr nf enduring thc cropping of cattle, commend ii highly t?i tho far:iicr s care, especially as :t pasture gras?. .. As it bin.-iiiii^ earlier than Timothy, anti a'-? >.!' thc lime. <?f rcd clover, it makes an admirable liiixl.ur?! with that plant, to cut iii thc i?l"ss.i:n care for hay. As a pasture grass it should bc fed close, both l<> prevent its forming thick tufts, and to prevent its running tu seed, when it loses large proportion of its nutritive matter, and becomes hard and wiry. All kinds of sloe!; eat it greedily when green. "Judge Bucl said o?* it, '1 should pre fer it to almost every other grass, and cows are very fond of it.' Elsewhere he Bays: 'Tue American Cock's foot, or On-hard grass, is out; of the most abiding grasses we haw. lt is probably better adapted than any other grass, to sow with clover and other seeds for permanent pas lure, or for hay, as it is lit to cut with clover, and grows remarkably quick when cropped by cattle. Five or six days, growth in summer suffices to give a good bite. Its good properties consist in its early and rapid growth, and its resistance of drought; bu; all agree that it should be uloicly cropped. Sheep will pas> 0 vcr every uthor gras-; lo feed upon it. lt' suffered to grow long without being cropped, ii becomes coarse and harsh. 1 ' dowel L'owell (a late eminent farmer of Pennsylvania) after growing it ten years, declares that il produces more pasturage (ii m any oiher gra ;s ho has seen in Amer ica. < bi being fed very close, ic has pro du . i good pasture, aller rem.lining rive days at, rest, lt is suited lo all arable soil*. Two bushels of seed aro requisite fir an acre when sown alone, or half thi ijuantity, when sown with clover. The seed is very light, weighing not more than twelve or fourteen pounds to thc bushel, ll should be cut early for hay." .. Mr. ?Sanders, a well-known practical firmer and cattle breeder of Kentucky, says ot' i: : My observation and ex peri euee have induced mc to rely mainly on orchard grass and red clover; indeed, i now sow no other suri of grass seed. These <;rasses, mixed, make the be.it hay ot' all the graces for this climate (Ken tucky.) lr is nutritions, and well adapted as food t-'i stock. Orchard grass is ready for grazing in thc spring, ten or twelve dav - spoiler than any other thal aihVds a full bite. When grazed down and the stock turned off, it will be ready for re grazing in les; thin half the time required for Kentucky blue grass, lt stands a .-...ere drought better than any other grass, keeping green and growing when oilier sorts are dried up. In summer it will grow more in a day than blii? grass will in a week. Orchard grass is natu rally disposed lo form and grow in tus socks. Tho best preventive is a good preparation r.f the ground, and a sufficien cy of seed uniformly sown." Orchard grass is less exhausting to tho soil than rye grass or Timothy, lt will endure considerable shade, in a porous sulnoil ils fibrous roots extend to a great depth. Its habit of growth unfits it for lawn grass. Ils seed weighs twelve pounds to ihe btislie!, and. lo sow alone, about twenty-four; pounds to the. acre are re quired to make sure of a good crop, lt should tnjUbe sown aloin-, except for the sake of raising tho seed lt is worthy of a much more extended cultivation among us. ^ Ti?K great secret of rural economy is to utilize everything :-corn-stalks, blades, cobs, everything. Every nail should be picked up, every leaf should go to the manure pde, every bone to the bone-kiln, every apple-pealing to the pig slop. This is the way* to gct r'cn? ^h''0 firming in a poor country. To waste nothing saves a great deal moie than stinginess. We have heard of a rich man who went bare foot, to save the expense of shoes, and then had a nobie holly in his yard cut donn, lo prevent leaves sticking iuhisjf feet, lbj* is sa ezawyte of s??glsess, j not of economy. Economy save;; adorns and beautifies.-Farm 6z (?arden. Grafting. As the time will soon be here whei grafting will be in order, we will repea our former advice that every fannel should- do his own grafting, lt is a vurj easy operation when once understood and this is readily done by seeing th< operation. A sharp penknife and a gooc fine saw are indispensable. Splitting th< stalk so that the bark shall not be bruisec and shaping the scion wedge-fashion boil ways, preserving also the bark uninjured -and placing the rim of ike wood o both stock and scion exactly together, s( that the sap can intermingle-there is nc danger ot failure if properly waxed. Wi make a shoulder to the graft and think i adds to thc certainty of success, thougl probably weakens it. We prefer nlst two eyes or buds to a graft, and wooli rather have only one than more than two One year's wood should always be usec when it can be obtained, as it is mon certain to take and grows more vigorous ly. We wish to remind those preparing "rafting wax, that wo have found fina parts of rosin, one part of beeswax, an( one part beef tallow, to be the best pro portions. Melt them together in a skillet (which is the best,) or a titicup, and mi: well, lt should remain in the vessel anc used as needed. Twenty or thirty scion; can be waxed with one heating up. Wher much grafting is to be done, a little fin for heating the wax should be made or the spot, between two bricks or stones. We have seen various preparations foi making grafting wax and believe w< DOO have tried them all, but prefer our own Applying warm or hot does no injury tc the graft. Hie object to attain in the proportion is that the wax will not crack in cool, dry weather, or run in w nr weather. If however, upon trial, differ cut proportions be required, the foregoing can bc altered, though after trying them in several ways, we have come back tc these.-G c rm an tow n Te 1 eg ra ph. Agricultural Laborers of Prussia, M. Emile de Laveleye has just con tributed an article to the Revue </>$ Deux Mondes, in which an interesting account is given of the progress made by Prussia during fifty years of ppace. Writing on agriculture, he points out that nearly all the land-owners cultivate their own es tates ; except for detached portions, rent ing is the exception. They are, therefore; retained in thc country by the care ot their own interests, for nothing more im periously requires thc eye of a master than rural industry. It is true they are aided by a class of employees who are not found in any other country. They are educated young men belonging to families in a good position, often just leaving an agricultural college, who re main tor a certain lime i>n some large estate to initiate themselves in the prac tical direction of one of their own. This novitiate is an ancient custom still pre served in many trades. Thus, frequently, the son of a rich hotel-keeper will no" hesitate to enter another hotel as butler or waiter (Kellner) to bc initiated into al! the details of the service over which he will tine day have, to preside. When any one visits the farms (Uktergutter) he is astonished lo see as superintendent the situ of a banker, a baron, or ? rich land-owner. These young people drive a carl or guille thu plough. At noon they return, groom their horses, and then go and dress themselves and dine at thc owner's table, to whom they are not in ferior, either in instruction, birth or man ners. Alter the meal, they resume their working dress and return, without any luise shame, to their rustic occupation. Thus we find in feudal Prussia a trait of manners suited to the democratic society of the United States, and which hereafter will become general. In France, in Eng land especially, a young man of the up per class would believe his divnity com promised in performing thc work of a farm-laborer.-Paris Corresp't of Land and Water. How TUE SOUTH CAS HELP ITSELF BEST.-Had our people turned a deaf cat to Mr. Johnson's invocations to re-organ ize their States after the war, had they gone to raising bread and meat instead of cotton, wherewith lo buy these thing.-., hadtthcy eschewed any idea of " re or ganizing labor" and let the negro severely alone, unless if. urged to act, they hud insisted upon electing ! itu to office, and especially upon vending him lo Congress, they would have now been pecuniarily independent, and far more so politically than they can hope lo be for some tittie to come. The best they can do now is lo go to work to give internal wealth to their homesteads, making them rich in fruits and grasses, gathering on them ili<* best of stock, not including the negro&nnd ti? vote*down, if they can, any form of gov ernment dictated to them ft om abroad; and, if they cannot, to vote for and elect engineers of their own to manage it, and to possess their souls in patience, satisfied that no possible system of government can be so injurious as a neglect of work, and a calling on Hercules, without taking hold of the wheel. If the white people of the South were at this moment in thc possession of all the. food and clothing they need for this year, and were r?cure of raising it for thc year to come, though no mau had more than his homestead, which is exempt from forced stile, they would be beyond the reach of Federal oppression. They can become so this year, in spite of Congressional en actments and even thc passing of their State governments into the hands of ?td venturers.-New Orleans Picayune. ----- ? . - OATS GKOUNO AND UNOKOIND -It is generally admitted that there, is no better or more natural grain for the horse than oats, and they ara extensively fed through out the whole country, and usually in au nnground state. Thc reason nf this is probably owing lo ihe fact thaL but little trouble is required to feed them so. Yet every one knows that, oats given whole! particularly to an aged animal, pass through in large quantities undigested, giving no nutriment to I he body. Then that portion of thc grain unma*ticatcd has done no go"d, and some loss attend ing it. We o us' therefore conclude that nt least one-thirl less grain given in a ground state would do as mindi or more ?od. The experiments of some of our bps! chemical physiologists go to show th1?! mixing of saliva with the fond is of the j.tmost importance in effecting easy digrs ;ion. When grain goes into thc stomach in a whole state, it is not affected by the secretions then made nt the expense of he animal's condition. Then, if oats. ! jy passing through the digestive tubes 1 indigested, injure the animal, it is not ' tatura! to suppose that he could perform < nore labor with less grain when he gets ! ( ill of the nutriment from the quantity i 'ed? '., j? ? span of horses that require twelve 1 i quarts each of unground oats per day, would consume two hundred and eighty two bushels. Estimating it at one-third less, would make a saving of ninety-one bushels ; and at sixty-five cents per bushel, would amount, in cash to about sixty dol lars for the trouble of grinding. Plain Bread and Cake. Mrs. Putnam's ideas of Bread and Cake are so good that our readers will be glad to know the latest news on getting up these necessary articles of diet in a wholes, me marrer: YKAST.-One handful of hops, boiled half an hour in two quarts of water ; ten good potatoes, boiled half an hour, and mashed very fine. Strain the water from thc hops on to the potatoes very hot ; stir in two tablespoonfuls of salt and one pint of flour ; set it to cool. When luke warm add one pint of good brewers' yeast and let it rise six hours. Strain all through a cullender or sieve ; put into a stone jug stopped tight. It will keep three weeks in the winter and one week in summer. BKEAD.-Three quarts pf flour, half a cup of yeast, one tablespoonful of salt, warm water enough to make it into dough. Knead this until it is perfectly smooth. Be sure to get all the flour off thc sides of pan : set it in a warm place to rise at night; in the morning knerd thc dough wen, divide it into two loaves, put it into the pans, set it in a warm place to rise about an hour. Bake it in ii tolerably hot oven about three-quarters of an hour. A pint of Indian meal, scaled, and mixed in with the flour, is by some per sons considered an improvement, but it will require one hour to bake. GRAHAV BKEAD.-Four quarts of un bolted wheat, a teacupful of good yeast, half a cup of molasses, and one table spoonful of salt, mixed with warm water enough to make a stiff dough ; let it rise six or eight hours; wet your hands in cold water to put it into thc pans ; let it rise in the pans an hour, or until it rises an inch; bake about two hours. It should be very well baked. THIRD BREAD.-One pint of rye meal, one pint of Indian meal, one pint of wheat flour, half a cup-of yeast, one spoonful of salt; mix it up with warm water into a stiff dough ; set it to rise eight hours. Bake it either in loaves or biscuit. Wet the hands in cold water to put it into pans. Bake it in a hot oven forty minute?. BROWN BREAD.-Two quarts of Indian meal, two quarts of rye meal, one large spoonful of salt, half a teacupful of yeast, half a cup molasses, mix it with as wann water as the hands will bjar; butter deep pans; wet the hands with cold water to put it in ; set it to rise one hour. Bake it in a hot oven four or five hours; it baked in a brick oven, it is better to keep it in the oven all night. ANOTHER BROWN BREAD.-Two quarts ?>f mirk, one cup of molasses, one large spoonful of soda, one teaspoonful of salt, billian and rye meal in equal parts enough to make dough not very stiif, bake -in iron pans; set. in the oven over night. SODA BISCUIT.-Two quarts of flour, four teaspoonfuls of cream tartar, two nf soda, one of salt-mixed into the Hour when dry : then mix it with cold milk to dough; bake them in a quick own about fifteen minutes. SHOUT BISCUIT.-One quart of flour, a quarter nf a pound of butter, a little boiling water to melt the butter; and milk enough to make a stitt* dough ; cut, into small biscuits, und bake them quick. BISCUIT.-Two quarts nf flour, about two ounces of butter, half a pint of boil ing waler, one teaspoonful of salt, a pint of cold milk, half a cup of yeast-mix this well together with the hands, and set it to rise over night, in the morning dis solve a teaspoonful of soda to a little water, and mix it well into the dough ; roll it on a bread-board, about an inch thick : cut it into small biscuits, and bake them twenty minutes. DINNER ROLLS.-Thc dough made as above. Cut your dough with a small biscuit cutter, that your rolls may heall of one size; knead them with your lin gers, turning the outer edges into the middle, rolling up the ends small; put them close together in thc pan. that they may not .-prend too large. Bake about twenty minutes. Sorn MILK BISCUIT.-One quart of flour, pint of sour milk, one teaspoonful of soda, mixed into thc milk until it froths; stir it into thc flour cold: mix it quick, and bake it in a quick oven. CORN BREAD.-One quart of milk, two enras, one piece butter the size of an egg. half teacup of white sugar, a little salt, two teaspoonfuls of cream tartar, one teaspoonful of soda, half Indian meal, half flour enough to make a thick batter. Fill your pans about half full, and bake it twenty minutes. CORN MEAL ('ARES.-One quart of sour milk, one table-spoonful of soda, stirred in until it froths, four eggs, one table spoonful of salt, as much meal as will make, a stiff batter; butter the pans; turn in the. batter half an inch thick; bake it half an hour. CORN CARE.-Take two cups of Indian meal, one cup of flour, two tablespoonfuls of molasses, one teaspoonful of soda, mill; and water enough to make a batter that will turn irjto a baking pan ; and bake half an hour. Improvement in Crain. Experiments have demonstrated, and ; analogy has shown, that thc finest and best samples of seed continued for years, will improve the quality and quantity of ?he product. A better wheat is thus raised; even a vaiiety may bc establish ed. On this principle (in farm stock) we have the Shorthorns, the blooded horses, and the different breeds of sheep, swine, poultry, etc. Expcriim nts have not been made on the human species; but the same, no doubt, holds good here. We plant and sow "as it comes." We take the seed of the same grain that we use in the aggregate, and sow it. Is not this the case almost universally ? Corn is an exception to some extent-but why do we except corn ? Because it is handy tn select. But why select at all 1 Because it is understood to bc good. Analogical ly, then, it is good lo do the same with , wheat, oat*, barley, etc. But this is less easily done; we therefore neglect it. How i long will it take a farmer to go through Iiis wheat, and secure the finest and ripest i beads sufficient to sow an acre, or half an . tere, or a quarter-or oven a pint of iced? This pint sowed will bc sufficient to form a test crop. The best heads Laken from this again and sowed, will yield another test crop, from which should jc taken as before; and so oh fora num ber of years, say half a dozen, more still 1 jetter. But three or four years will york a decided difference. But the thing ihould bc continued from selected wheat ?very time. In this way grain can be inproved and crops enlarged.

EDITORS SOUTHERN- CULTIVATOR :-The following machine fur rolling cotton seed for planting, is a perfect one, and freAto every; body. First, obtain a com?on whiskey barrel, cut a square hole in?ne side, the width of two staves, (cut wm a key-hole saw,) the two pieces (fastAed with a batten,) serving as a door, an?se cured by common thumb buttons. ?Bxi, run a plain wooden axle through the?n tre of the heads, with a handle at.Wne end, for turning the barrel like a grrod stone. It is then mounted on two posts or forks driven iu the ground, SQ as to support the machine abont two feet above the earth. Now to operate. Put in two bushels of cotton seed and a bucket of water-roll the machjne slowly a few minutes, or until the seed are thoroughly wet. Next, introduce twelve lbs. (or even more, if desired) of sifted Peruvian Guano, Land Plaster, or Dry Ashes, and after a few more revolutions, the machine may be emptied, by turning the barrel until the bole is underneath. The seed will be found perfectly separated, and as thoroughly rolled as could be done in the usual way in one hour. The whole- operation need not consume Len minutes. Don't be afraid the Guano will kill your seed. I've tried it. One bushel per acre is sufficient with a planter. By all means have a "Law's Cotton Planter." Wrigley & Knott, of Macon, Ga., sold them last year. If desired, I will tell how to use thc planter to thc best advantage. . Yours, R. J. R.. Ellaville, Ga., March 1868. Poultry ou tbe Farm. Mr. Mechia, an eminent agriculturist, writes as follows on poultry matters : Nothing pays better on a farm than a good stock of poultry properly managed. With them every thing is turned to account; not a kernel, wild seed,- or insect, escapes their scrutinizing eyes. Their industrious claws are ever at work, uncovering ready for appropriation, every hidden but consumable substance. Fowls musthave free access to chalk ot lime to form the shells of their eggs, and grit or gravel to grind the food in their gizzards. They luxuriate on grass or. clover, which are a necessity for them ; in winter they like mangold or swedes. They must have access to plenty of pure water. The quality of the eggs depends upon the quality of the food. They, like ourselves, like shade in summer, and warm shelter ed corners in winter. Fowls will not long bc heftlthy on the same ground or yards-the earth gets tainted : therefore, to prevent disease, lime and salt your yards and their usual pasture once a year, say in autumn when the rains will wash it well in and sweeten the surface. Broods of chickens never do better with us than on the grassy brows or patches abutting upon the growing crops, either ol' corn or pulse, into which they run either for insect*, or fur shelter. Your male birds ?should often be changed, say at least once rn two years, and tl.ey should he young and vigorous. Breeding in and in will not do any more than it will with animals. I consider winged game, poultry and hirds, the fanner's friends. My poultry have access at till times to my fields. Fowls are very useful in clearing off flies--. I have often been amused at seeing the neat and quick manner of laking flies from reposing bullocks and sheep, much to their comfort!"
