At meeting of the Elmirs Farmers Club,
President Hoffman presented samples of hay,
timothy and the finer grasses mixed, and
called the members to examine and pronounce
ON the quality. Two packages were called
good and well saved, and the third injured in
the NOW. The first two were bright and fra
grant, green in color, and without fault The
last was dull brown, of an old Odor and plain.
ly not well saved. He described the curing
and care Of the samples as follows:
These three packages were cut in the same
field, and at the same time, and treated alike
until drawn into the barn. All were moist. in
fact too moist The two packages with no
bright appearance are taken, enc from the
side and one from within a NOW OF hfty-twO
feet length, fourteen feet width, and fourteen
feet hight. The injured lot from row
fourteen feet by twelve feet, aud seven feet
high. The smaller NOW was, OF course, more
aired, and it is reasonable to suppose should
have dried out more thoroughly, and so saved
the wet hay better The difference in treat,
ment is, the large NOW was lined, and the
small one was not. Three or four quarts o
fresh Stacked lime was scattered over each
load of say ton, after it was slowed in the
NOW. For three weeks after these mOws weit
put Up they were examined every day. The
small one showed much moisture and mucl
heat, while the large one, though moist, was
cool. The hay has not yet been tested by
feeding, but all the appearances indicate great
benefit from the use Of lime.

Thin SEEDING. George Wilkins, Wix Vi
Garage, England, a correspondent of the Gar
d<ner's Chronicle, gives the results OF his cx-
perience as follows: For IA years in success
ion he neverexceeded tive pecks, or l6 quarts,
OF seed-wheat to the acre, an sometimes used
less than one peck, and yet. in each of two of
those years he harvested Sc bushels of whea:
to the acre, and the average of the IA crops in
IA years WAS A bushels to the acre The seed
was sown with drill. One of the conditions
necessary to the production large crops from
thin seeding he states to be the sowing of
seed early in the fall, that the plants may have
fair start before the setting OF winter. Thor
ough drainage he also deems very essential
condition.

GRASS FOR HORsEs.-There is no better
medicine to keep work horses in good condi-
ton during summer than bit of grass.
Horses that have such slow work as blowing
are better out in the field at night where they
can get such grass as will keep them feeding
half the time. They should, however, have
their regular feed in the stable before being
turned out, as the grass will not answer IN
place Of more substantial food Never let a
work horse spend the Sunday nor any other
holiday In the stable. Turn him out il he
does roll In wet spot and give occasion for
an extra cleaning on Monday morning. He
requires just such change OF exercise and
feed to keep him IN good health. -HeurM and

THE HOG AS A WORKER.-The hog is nat
uraliy industrious. Formed and intended for
the purpose of earning his food by hard labor,
he is often released from this necessity, and by
virtue of his more fortunate circumstances en-
joys life of idleness and luxury that is I'M
natural to him. Not that this is his choice
Far from it it is forced on him against his
will, and in defiance of his vigorous protest.
Why should he alone of all other farm ami
mas, be thus prevented fulfilling his destiny
Not only can he fill the pork barrel, but he
can employ his time protitably as well. As a
manufacturer OF composts and manures he is
unrivaled, and the owner Of a hog who is so
unwise as to forbid him the employment he is
SO admirably adapted for. acts in opposition to
his own interest. Let him be supplied with
the raw materials, and he will labor most in
dustriously in his vocation and not only in
dustrously, but we'll for no practicable
amount OF human labor could so disintegrate
and mix together the coarse materials OF the
barn-yard and compost heap AS he can do
and while working will find his reward as well
as his owners profit, in the various substances
he will discover in his pile that will help him
the more readily to convert his food into pork.
