care, boiled until stalk and all is entirely

over it until cold, and returned to the

Now that rye has reached the same
quotations in the market as wheat, it is
likely to be much more cultivated than
1t has been. The Eastern farmer, with
his hard worn lands, where tradition af-
firms that wheat will not grow, is as
well off az the prairie farmer with bis
virgin soil. If he will use the right ro-
tstion and mapures. he is better off. For

Wy, stout stalk, and heavier head. 1t is
as much of contrast with the thin,
stunted crops of some of my neighbors
as desire to see. They sowed late on
exhausted land, used no manure, and
will not get over five to eight bushels TO
the acre. That does not pay. 1t is "a

upon piece of ground in early potatoes
last year. The potatoes came off in July,
a sound crop, but not over sixty bushels
to the acre, though pretty well manured
with fish scrap, sown broadcast. They
blasted. The piece was plowed, ma
nured with about half ton of fish
scrap, and sown to rye early in Ssptem-
ber. The grain came up well, and got
well rooted before winter set in. Though
the winter was open, and very little
snow, with much freezing and thawing,
it did not winter kill. 1t had good
start in the Spring, and pushed right
along to maturity without any check. A
strip few rods wide at one end, was
mulched with sea weed in winter. This
mulched portion is indicated by dark
er green, and q more Iuxuriant growth
of stalk. The old practice of sowing this
grain upon exhausted fields without ma
nure, is bad for the soil, and still worse
for the cultivator. Both parties are bad

Few men who handle horses give pro-
per attention to the feet and legs. Espe-
cially is this the case on farms. Much
time is spent of morning., rubbing,
brushing and smoothing the hair on the
sides and hips, but at no time are the
feet examined and properly cared for.
Now, be ii known, that in this six thou
sand year old world of ours the feet need
more care than the body. They need
ten times as much-for in one respect
they are almost the entire horse. All the
grooming that can be done won't avail
anything, if the horse is forced to stand
where his feet will be filthy. Ih this
case the feet will become disordered, and
then the legs will get badly out of fix,
and with bad feet and bad legs there is
not much else OF the horse tit Tor any
thing. Stable prisons, generally, are
terribly severe OH the feet and legs of
horses, and unless these buildings can
aff,rd dry room, where horse can
walk around, lie down or roll over,
they are not half SO healthy and COM
Portable to the horse as the pasture, and
should be avoided by all good hostlers
in the world.

WORK IN THE Diiching so
that muck may be got at, clearing
swamp land, and similar work can often
be done during the height of the dry
weather in summer, when men and
teams can go upon the ground. Burning
of the sufaco of swamps is frequently
very useful; but fires set in dry, messy
peat bogs by intention or accident, often
get beyond control, and consume much
more than the loose surface, running
among timber and fences, and holding
