Hay Uncut, Cut and Chaffed.

"How shah we feed our hay and straw?n
is question of importance to every farm
er who wishes to make the best of his re-
sources. IN. L. H." gives in recent
number of the Ohio Farmer, some origin
al news upon this subject. He says:
tits stated in some of the agricultural
papers that twenty-five pounds of hay I'M
cut, nineteen cut in pieces an inch long, or
thirteen chatfed, are equal in value for
stock. If this statement is correct, farm
ers might make great saving by reducing
it to cut or chaffed condition. OF course,
it is not argued that its altered mechanical
condition makes it more nutritious, but
simply reduces it to state from which the
auimal can make available larger por-
ton of the nutriment it contains. Food
reduced to high degree of finenessis more
thoroughly mixed with saliva in chewing,
and in undergoing digestion the gastric
juice comes in more immediate contact
with it. Under these conditions the food
is much better digested, and a larger part
of its nutritive value appropriated to the
wants of the system, than when it is taken
in an unreduced state.
Oats or corn fed whole often pass through
the stomach and bowels of animals halt
digested, and no doubt the same is true OF
hay. When horses are required to labor
peck of unground oats or corn, or ten
pounds of hay not very well masticated
will not yield to their wants more than
two-thirds that amount finely ground
This latter could be thoroughly digested
while the animal is at work if the former
did not The saving of time to eat il
would also give them more rest. Animals
not required to labor, having sufficient
time to eat and digest their food, would gel
more nourishment from the same amount
| than those that are worked
1t is otclear, however, that the increased
value is just that indicated at the head o
this article. We need quite accurate eX-
periments to determine this, 1t is only
clear that by reducing food to fine condi-
ton by cutting, chatting and grinding
greatly increase its Yalus.

"Piling Four Acres on One /"

Some of the Southern farmers are get
ting the key to the true spirit of agricul
tural improvement. The better class o.
these planters are of the thinking and
reasoning sort. Necessity is forcing then,
to conclusions which are worthy of a wide
circulation. For instance, n correspond.
ent of the Georgia Plantation says:
To enable,the farmer to buy less and sell
| more, let him put three acres of land on
the identical same spot where he now has
but one, with spade, or four-horse pillow,
A German or Englishman would do it the
first year. Did not a man (Englishman)
near Athens, sell fourteen hundred dollars
worth from less than three acres ? He did
it by piling four acres on one.
The example of one man goes far in the
education of the people. A man buys three
acres of land instead of fifty and makes
them produce more than the fifty would
by ordinary culture. What does he save?
He saves the money he would have invest
ed in the forty-seven acres. Suppose he
pays, or agrees to pay, $50 per acre for fifty
acres it amounts to $1,000. Instead he
buys, say five acres, for which he pays say
$50 per acre, or $3.50. He has a cash capi-
tai left of $3.50, which he can make availa-
BILE and active. He may not have the capt.
tai to work the fifty acres as he would the
I'VE. rev men nave. But by the use OF
his reserved capital he makes his five acres
produce as much as twenty acres of his fif-
ty and few farmers with fifty acres cult
vate more than twenty-three acres, unless
near large cities even then they can not
do it well without a large cash capital.
With the five acres and the $3.50 capital a
man may secure all the tools, manures and
labor that may protitably be employed on
five acres. Everything is utilized. There
is no dead capital Every dollar as it is
turned over produces another. Every crop
is under control. The ground can be pre-
pared for the seed as and when it ought to
be the crop can be.cultivated and harvest
ed when and as they ought to be. Out of
the investment come returns which bring
to the farmer the maximum profit.
There are circumstances and conditions
where this policy does not seem to be the
best-especiatly in locations where land is
rising in value or where it will rise in value
in proportion to every dollar expended
upon it for improvements. Then the far
mer may reap more profits from his invest
ment in fifty acres than in five. But on
lands which have reached their maximum
value it is folly to spend the bulk of ones
capital in them and cripple his resources
for rendering them productive. AS rule,
we think, two-thirds of farmers cash
capital should be reserved for use on land
purchased with the other third.-R1HdL

Good AdrIce TO Farmers.

Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, of Virginia, in a
recent address to to Farmers Society made
these remarks:
Economy, industry, close husbandry,
the saving of everything, the wasting of
nothing, and tilling well a small area,
rather than skimming unfruitfully large
one. These rules will take care of the farm
and insure its production But then the
farmer must purge himself from debt He
is the last man that should owe anything,
especially now, when shaving cuts so near
the bone, rising upwards from ten to fif-
teen per cent. or more. No business will
stand up under such weight of interest
that is not speculative. The farmer knows
10 such thing as speculation, and he
should cut loose from all devices and shifts
of a speculative character. He cannot
thrive, he cannot be happy, while har-
raised by debt, with its rapid accumula-
ton through the high rates for the use of
money in these times.

How TO Fix the Clock.

When the clock stops, do not take it to
the repair shop till you have fried as fol-
lows: Take off the pointers and the face /;
take off the pendulum and its wire. Re-
move the ratchet from the " track" wheel,
and the clock will run down with great
velocity. Let it go the increasing speed
wears away the gum and dust from its PIN
ions-the clock cleans itself. If you have
any sperm oil, put the least bit on the ak
les. Put the machine together, and nine
times out of ten it will run just as well as
if it had been taken to the shop. In fact,
If instead of pendulum the clock has a
watch escapement, this latter can be taken
out III an instant, without taking the
works apart, and the result is the same

FEED FOR Mich Cows.-A correspond
ent of the Country Gentleman says: The
most profitable feed for cows giving milk
during winter. and that used in nearly all
the best diaries for producing milk for New
York market, is good quality of wheat
bran and corn meal, mixed as follows !:
Eight pounds Of bran and two of corn meal
for each COW daily. If the above can be
thoroughly cooked with cut hay, it in
creases its value about one-fifth by actual
experiment. j produced from so cows 500
quarts Of milk daily on ten pounds OF feed
mixed as above and thoroughly cooked.

BEST TINE TO PAINT HOUSES. The
1echnotogist says The best time for
painting the exterior of buildings is late in
autumn or during the winter. Paint then
applied will endure twice as long as when
applied in early summer or in hot weather.
In the former 1t dries slowly and becomes
hard, like a glazed surface, not easily af-
fected afterwards by the weather, or worn
off by the beating of storms. But in very
hot weather the oil in the paint soaks into
the wood at once, as into a sponge, leaving
the lead nearly dry and nearly ready to
crumble off This last difficulty, howev-
er, might in measure be guarded against,
though at an increased expense, by first
going over the surface with raw oil. By
painting in cold weather, one annoyance
might certainly be escaped, namely, the
collection of small flies on the fresh paint.

The Manure Heap.

The prudent farmer will not permit the
| manure that is made through the winter
season to go to waste, and if he is very
wise he will not be content with simply
hauling out half a dozen loads when If it
is carefully saved he might have twenty
loads or more to put on his land.
Until one tries the experiment, it seems
astonishing that so much manure could be
saved as we have seen hauled out from one
barn during single winter. The secret
of a large manure heap consists simply in
cleaning out the stalls, stables and pens
eUeTy day, instead of once week or once
a month. BY frequent additions, the val
ue of the heap for fertilizing purposes is
also greatly increased. When the manure
has accumulated so as to be in the way,
the better plan is to haul 1t at once to the
field.
Practically, every load of manure hauled
to the field this winter, will add load of
corn to the crib We believe that the good
farmer can just as well get one hundred
bushels of corn to the acre in Kansas, as
to be getting but forty or fifty, and we
believe this result Is to be obtained chiefly
by using manure.
No matter whether the ground has been
long in cultivation or not no matter if it
is the second years ground; good coat of
manure will increase the yield of grain.
Upon the Agricultural College Farm, we
sdU the effect of manure on new ground.
We saw that the portion MANFRED was
nearly as high again Tin June), and the
stalks much larger and stronger, and the
color better, than upon an adjoining place
that was not MANFRED. We have not
heard the difference in bushels of grain,
but we will guarantee that the manure
counted in the crib i'll proportion to its
looks in the field.
We are satisfied that clover is much
phQanpr fprtiIivar for largo WpQtQrn
farms, and our peculiar style of farming,
than is stable manure, or, indeed, any
other fertilizer; but this is no reason why
we should waste the manure. Therefore,
improve any leisure hours by distributing
the manure-not one or two loads only,
but twenty, thirty or fifty loads. 1t will
pay.-Kdnsds Farmer.

AT one period in the history of East
Tennessee no farmer thought he was do
ing well, unless he had hogs to sell, and
he who turned the most porkers into mar
ket was considered the most thrifty.
Thousands of hogs were driven across
the mountains every year, and found
market in North and South Caro-
lima Georgia, Florida and other States
in the South. There they were butchered
and packed away to be eaten by the ten
thousand slaves who labored on the cotton
and rice plantations. We are glad to know
that our farmers are turning their faces an
other way, and are learning that raising
hogs is not the only way to make money.
Year after year they raised corn to feed
their hogs, and their farms grew poorer.
Now they are finding out that fact and we
presume that not more than half as
many hogs are raised in East Tennessee, as
were raised fifteen years ago. 1t is begin
ming to be understood that other stock pays
as well, and that farms may be enriched
instead of being impoverished.

The deficiency of the wheat crop of
Great Britain, according TO one English
authority, is 22,079, 200 bushels not takine
into account the inferior quality of large
portion of that saved. Another authority
places the crop twenty per cent. below the
average in England proper, and not half
an average in Scotland Add to this the
deficiency in the potatoe crop, and the
widespread disease among live stock, and
the Winter prospect is not a hopeful one
for the poor of the British Isles.
