- Farm-yard manure, when the farm
er is one of right stamp, is the most vaiu-
able and lasting; it is genuine article,
and. can be relied on wherever applied,
TOR when, as stated, the right sort OF farm,
er is in possession, the cattle live well and
the premises are properly constructed
and situated. Thus in the first place lio-
eral feeding makes rich dung, and the
ward or other receptacle being free from
water in sufficient quantity to wash or
drain away any of the moisture. the
whole fsrtilizing matter is taken on the
land. and that benefited to the full ex'
tent of the abstraction by the crops which
have been consumed at the homestead.
A seed must be perfect seed in or
der to grow perfect plant. 1t must be
sound, ripe, and we'll preserved. This is
branch which is greatly neglected. A
soil must be in perfect condition to grow
a. crop perfectly. Here we are, perhaps,
more greatly at fault than in the other
case Of those seed. Both, however, must
20 together. We grow ''fair" crops, "or.
dinary" crops, even "good" crops, and
think we have good thing, SO tar as u
goes; we even surmise we have perfect
thing, not in amount, but quality. Per
feet farming requires perfect work
throughout.
= There are strange plants which are
actually leafess, making up tor this want
by using the leaves of others. Such plants
are called parasites, because they feed on
the nutritive juices of others. Thrustlns
their roots into the living tissues of other
plants, instead of into the earth, they ap-
propriate the prepared food of these plants
and at once apply it for their own pur-
poses, for the production OF stem, Hover
or fruit.
= Where large number of hogs are
kept, the best place Tor them is good clo-
YER pasture. If not put in until the clo-
, yer makes some growth, and then not to
: feed it down close, they will do we'll. In
small enclosures, with plenty of good wa
ter, hogs may be kept cheaper on clover
than in any other way.
- The fact that fowls will eagerly de-
YOUR gravel and small pieces of shells and
bones, is known to every one. There can
be no doubt also that it is one in obedl-
ence to some demand of nature, and that
it is essential to the health and product
iveness and perhaps to the life of the fowl.
