The Rural Ne,o Yorker says the nutri-

esteemed to be about the same as that of
oats. ~ VI F0 FNEn

Hon. GEonsE GEDDHs says undrained
clay lands are never worn cut, and that
draining is the first thing to be done with
such lands; next, thorough cultivation,
and then manure.

FALL AND SPRING PLANTINa.-D. w.
Adams, Waukon, Iowa, writes the Journal
! Of Horticulture that fall planting of trees
is failure, as rule, throughout Iowa,
Northern Illinois, Wisconsin, Dacotah,
and Nebra ska. Spring planting he thinks
is now nearly the universal rule. His
reasons why this should be so, apply to
trees planted in early autumn, when fine
roots are thrown out at the expense of the
nutriment previously stored in the tree.
BEDDING FOR Hoes.-At late meeting
of the Lexington (Ky.) Farmers Club
DIR. Spur said he had noticed recently
that his hogs were getting sick, and from
4 circumstances, he Is convinced that theiI
sickness was caused by sleeping in wet
lstraw. He divided the herd, placing
some of them in a distant lot, where they
could make beds in dry ricks of straw
and they are now healthy and vigorous
Dry dust and chaff about the stables are
about as injurious to hogs as is the wei
straw.

MAKING HARD WATER SsoFr-A lad
writes 10 an exchange: "Put cold waite
to about four quarts of good hardwoo
ashes, and bring to a boil, then add NOR
cold water and let it settle; pour this off an
add still more cold water to the ashes Tn
result should be about pail of good lye

will be found deposit in the bottom c
the barrel, which should not be disturbe

r PoT CULTURE OF CRANBERRIEs. .-Th

very attractive plant when cultivated i
