FARM AND GARDEN.
HIfIIet.

mUlets
If our farmers should find that theil
hay crop promises to be short, they vii
lind millet good substitute. II yield.
heavily on good soils and is very nutri.
tious. The best soil for millet is a corr
soil-that is to say, deen, sandy loan.
Any soil, however, which does no. con-
tain an excess of clay win grow good
millet Crops of three to five tons of
cured hay per acre are not uncommon.
The best time for sowing millet is May,
but il is Gifted sown late in June. After
that tirne it viii mature a good crop,
though no. fun yield of seed, unless the
fan is favorable. When allowed to ripen,
it yields thirty to forty bushels of seed per
acre. The quantity of seed to be sown
Is one bushel per acre for hay only, and
half a bushel for hay and seed. Some
persons who have cultivated millet advise
cutting as soon as the seed commence to
turn yellow, as il makes the best hay if
cut before the seed has matured, as the
stalks are then less woody, more soft
grassy and nutritious. II is cured and
treated like timothy grass.

TheOrchard.

Dir. Henry 7. Harris writes to The Hor
ticutturiSt as follows:
read an admirable article in a number
of the HorticULtttriSt for 1863, on the
''Orchard, much of which heartily en-
dorse; but there was one practice that
must here assail, with all due Difference
TO the opinions of the author of that arti-
Gle. refer TO the question of cultivat-
ing {plowing) the orchard. Until the
trees are 10 years old this is the proper
treatment, but after that age, would
never suffer the ground 10 be molested
with the plow, hoe or spade; but would
treat it very much as is recommended in
the article-save only the stirring of the
soil-that is, l would at the tenth year
sow it to red clover, and never cut it off
but let il die down and rot, or | would
turn in hogs or sheep to eat off the first
crop, allowing the second blooming, the
same season, to grow up to seed, and fall
down for the next years crop of seed.
In this way the ground would be mulched
summer and winter. / would keep it in
clover as long as it would grow well, and
after that sow any other grass seed that
WOh40 NV lA0AC W. ldil HlOAlu. AuO
alternate with clover every few years.
The plan of stirring the soil injuries
the roots, and of course, injuries the trees,
and the result is that the fruit either falls
prematurely, or specks and rots. During
the first decade after planting l would
never stir the soil allder the branches,
except an inch or two deep, and under
the branches | would cut and scatter some
clover, three or four inches deep in June,
and in December would place straw of
some kind the same depth, but not within
two feet of the trunk, as that would har-
Dor field mice to the injury of the bark.
Such has been my practice and observa-
ton with uniform success, while on the
plan of stirring the soil great and irrepara-
bic injury has followed. How far this
plan of mine would be successful in other
soil and climates differing from Kentucky,
| am not advised, either by observation or
information, except that contained in the
excellent article referred to; bit am in
clined to the opinion that the same gen.
eral rules and natural laws would apply,
and l should be 10th to adopt any other
practice anywhere than the one briefly SET
forth herein.

Growing Roots and Feeding to Dali
~ Stock,


The good results from feeding roots to
stock are universally admitted by those
who have had any experience in using
this class of food. For the dairy farmer,
roots are of especial service in supplying
20 COWS a succulent food during the long
season when dry fodder must be their
main source of sustenance. As a matter
of health, or for giving tone TO the system
OF animals, the feeding of roots in win
ter would prove advantageous even though
nothing was saved in the quantity of
dry food supplied. A moderate quantity
of roots given from day to day, or even
at longer intervals, counteracts many of
the evils resulting from too close con-
finement upon the single article of food
-hay-which many dairymen too often
make the sole diet for their stock in win
ter. Then In spring, as milk producing
food. roots are extremely valuable. They
satisfy TO a great extent that longing or
craving appetite of animals for grass, in
early spring and at q time when il cannot
be supplied, and therefore they serve to
check tina, restleSsness in the herds which
initiates against thrift and milk produc-
ton.
These are some of the considerations
that have induced certain dairy farmers
to continue steadily on in their root grow
inc, Notwithstanding it may have been
thought, at times, that under the high
price of labor, other kinds of cattle food
of equal nutritive value TO the roots could
have been grown comparatively cheaper.
On the other other hand large proportion
of dairymen in New York and elsewhere,
abandon root-raising or neglect TO grow
the crop for stock feeding, under the inn
preston that with the present price of
labor The crop is too expensive. They
freely admit all the advantages to be de.
rived from feeding this class OF food but
say they cannot afford to grow it, VIZ
believe this to be, in many INSTANCES, an
error and to result in part from not select
ing the kind of roots best adapted to tho
soil, or from want of thorough prepare
ton of the soil, and from doing the wori
of cultivation by hand which should bt
done by horse power and machinery
Without entering upon the discussion O
these points for the present, we desire
set forth some facts presented at recen
meeting of the Farmers Club of Littl
Falls when the subject of root cultur
was under consideration. We give eH
tracts from our notes taken on that occs
sion.
Mr.. Whitman, in referring TO the preY'
