wish to prevent his body and blood from
getting overheated, cover his back from
his shoulders TO tail with a loose blanket
Of thin cotton or linen cloth, Of yellow or
green color. During the hot season many
horse could be saved by this simple pro-
cess.

soil How to start in such an enterprise
can easily be learned from the authors
mentioned above, and from other sources,
and little attempt at tree-growing from
seed or seedlings on a small scale, in ad-
vance Of starting plantations BY the acre,
would result in an amount Of practical
experience which would be Of great benefit
Cultivation Of artificial forests would not
be necessary more than few years, a
the shading Of the earth by the trees would
soon keep down the growth Of weeds and
grass, while the leaves would constitute 1
mulch, as in natural forests
The growing scarcity Of timber for thu

with little probability Of any substitute fol
it which can seriously lesson the demand

Do not our agricultural societies and
farmers clubs make mistake in offering
their premiums for the largest crops,
without regard to cost? ANY one who
has CAPITAL enough may raise one hundred
bushels Of corn per acre, bs his neighbor,
who raises but sixty, may be doing much
better thing.
Wouldn't it not be better to pay more
regard to the cost Of the crop. Let the
premium be for the crop which shall cost
the least money per bushel, and we think
many Of our large crops win fall far short
Of i. We believe that one hundred and
thirty bushels If sheIled corn can be and
has been raised per acre, but this fact, Of
itself does not prove il to have been a
profitable crop

RESTORING WORKOUT VIM
Gum, near Lexington, Ky, writes: Ihave
seen frequent inquiries how to reclaim old
and worn lands. A quick and cheap plan
Is to SOW the land in oats As early as You
can in the Spring, as soon as ripe plov
under, keep of all stock and you viii have
a tremendous Fall growth Of oats, pIow
them under in October, or, If south, fst
Of November, then SOW rye, Craze in the
Spring and feed it down; when ripe plow
under, and you win see one Of the finest
rye fields you ever saw; or, if you wish,
SOW clover on the rye the first Spring, it is
very effeetusl and cheap.

| was a boy; the land was 50 worn that the
oats did not exceed knee-high; they were
plowed under when ripe and again in No

tried it repeatedly since with good success.

valus Of Corn Fodder.

Dr.. Nichols, IN Journal Of Czenisfry,
says The opinion we have always held
upon the question Of the value Of green
corn fodder for mich cows has been, that
when raised for broadcast sowing il Is
nearly worthless, but when sosn in hills or
ia drills, and cultivated, with access Of air
and sunlight, il Is Of high value. During
the present season We have made some
experiments 10 test the correctness Of these
views. Stalks were collected from a field
where the seed was scwn broadcast, and
also stalks growing IN drills upon the same
field. and they were dried in drying
closet 70 expel the moisture. Both speei-
mems were planted at the same time (the
9Th Of May,) and Il was found that the
broadcast sowing contained 90 per cent
Of water, those from drills SO per cent. Of
water. Thus 1t was shown TINT the differ
ence Of solid matter in the two was
relatively a 8 to II per cent, The solid
matter Vas composed ofstarch, gum, sugar
and woody fiber. There was almost an
entire absence Of sugar and gum in the
stalks from the broadcast sowing, while
the stalks that had grown under the in
fuenee Of light and air held these nutrient
priociules in considerably e.n.ufifieu Tha
