Native Orawea.
The native wild grasses of any region
are those which have become most
fully adapted to the soil and climate of
that particular region. Such (trusses
are, however, as a rule, much inferior
to the rtandanl cultivated grawes of
agriculture. It is possible, however,
that with careful cultivation and selec
tion many of thewo wild grasie can be
improved without , maltrially decreos-
ng their hardiness. Tbe North Caro
lina Experiment Station has been
Working on this line, and desires to en

that promises anything. Tho fetation
requests farmer or other, who notice
native grasses of particular vigor, or
which aeem to be relUbed by stock to
collect and send a few specimens to the
Station at Raleigh for identification.
Send at th. aaine lime all the informa
tion that can be collected concerning

diversified that there may , be some
thing to sell each week, enough at
least to purchase tbe little necessaries
of family consumption. There are but

cows end farm fowls, that, if tbey are
anyways cared for, will give a surplus
of butter and eggs. If th ere is no aiur

paying figures. A good poultry yard
well cared for will turn out eggs to sell
all the time, with ail occasional broiler,
and a few turkeys for Thanksgiving
and for the Christmas holidays. A
good garden will always produce some
thing for market. A good orchard of
well selected fruit will, a good portion
of tbe time, produce aometbiug, either
green or dried, for market. If the
iaruier will provide these things his

We are convinced, says Field and

Western North Carolina is without
doubt the finest apple region on the
Atlantic elope, if not in the whole
country. Tbe whole South ought to
get its apple supply from this section
and yet even the central and eastern
parts of North Carolina get their sup
plies of winter apples from th. North.
Tbe high rates of railroad transporta
tion are blamed a the cause for this,
and doubtless this is one reason.' But
tbe main reason is tbat the people bave
not learned to handle' and ship ' apples.
The following rule may be useful :
1. Gather all apples by hand
Those shaken oft are not fit to ship.
2. Put only one variety In a barrel,
and only good specimens. Keep the
culling at home for vinegar.
8. Use only good, clean and tight
barrels ; winter apples should not be
shipped In slatted crate or ventilated
barrels. i
4. Place the apples in the barrel by
band, don't dump them lu. Round
tbem up well above tb. top of th.
barrel so tbat the bead must be forced
in with a lever or screw press. This Is
tb. essential point, for if apple, are
loose in the barrel tbey will not ship
iu good order.
6. Plant only few standard sorts
that are well known in market. . There
ere too many kinds now grown In
Western North Carolina. W. F7 Iras'
