the manure pile, especially for clayey

manager, it should be so constructed as to
nromote the comfort of the COW in eating
from it. To accomplish this the floor
should be raised about two inches above
the platform on which the COW stands,
thus preventing all reaching for food, and
from slipping and falling upon her knees.

WHAT Is A FALLOW +!

This question is answered in the Agrical-
turist, as follows:
"There is considerable discussion among
farmers as to whether it is better to Sum-
mer-fallow for wheat, or to sow Spring
crop, such as oats barley, peas or BEANS to
be followed by wheat. Figures are given
and arguments used pro and con. But so
far as we have observed, all the writers on
this subject fail to tell us what fallow
is. One farmer in Western New York,
who has written considerably on the sub
ject, advocates breaking up clover sod, in
June, with three horse plow, ten inches
deep; then harrow, roll, and cultivate, to
keep down the weeds and mellow the sur
face. This is all that he does. The land
is only plowed once. We have no doubt
that good crops of wheat are frequently
raised in this way. We say nothing against
the practice. But we insist that there is
no propriety in calling it a 'Summer-fallow.
The essential agricultural and ehemic,
point in following is, to plow the land for
a crop, and then not sow it until t. n Goa
son following. This is the real sig oiticance
of a fallow. 1t involves the ide a of .rest
and at the same time clean, the land

hair is thickened, fallen hair checked
and badness often, though not always
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the follicles are de,
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
decayed; but such as remain can DC
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, so that new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with a pasty sedl-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning grey Or falling OFT, ana
consequently prevent badness. Ihe
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the lorna
ton of dandruA, which is often so un-
cleanly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and ln]u-
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for a HAIR DRESSlNG,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambric, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it rich, glossy
lustre, and grateful perfume.
