THE AFTERMATH.

Grass obtains nearly all its strength from
the atmosphere. 1t is for this reason that
natural pastures sustain themselves. aud the
more OF the growth there is left on the ground,
the richer it becomes, and the better the
growth hence the fertility Of the prairies /;
hence also the rich muck beds which are
sometimes found on the poorest of land.
And so our farms may be improved by sim
ply leaving part OF the crop-the more there
is left the better for the land. We have
grown and seen grown for many years in
succession, good crops of timothy, averaging
two tons per acre, aud varying but little
from it, on land that was light aud had pro-
duced but moderate crops, running out grass
in a few years, and this alone by leaving
the aitergrowth not hoof was permitted
to touch it. Heavier crops are realized
from better land. The secret of this ID in
the reproduction of the crop, the aftermath.
This growth retained, not only protects the
roots Of the grass, but it rOts down and
forms pabuum in the spring for an early
start and for further growth. This, lying
on the ground, comes in direct contact with
the roots aud there is an immediate benefit.

THE STRAWBERRY.

If any of your lady readers would devote
half the time they now give TO nursing sick
ly plants with unpronounceable names, to
the cultivation of small bed Of some choice
variety Of this most excellent fruit, think
they would proudly admit, at the years end
that they had been following most excellent
advice.
Many suppose that it takes great amount
Of labor to get very few berries. Such is
not the fact. The strawberry will thrive
under conditions where many garden vege-
tables, SO called, would perish. Then there
are men with half their garden devoted to
weeds, who gravely inform me that they
haven't an inch Of ground to spare for a
strawberry patch. Let such keep on raising

Such clover hay alone will keep them fat

We fud il best to feed this hay rather early
in the fall, providing shelter from the cold
rains and wet SHOWS, which do more harm
than Is usually supposed. The wool, instead
oil being protection, will become saturated
and lie a heavy weight upon the animal.
Then the pale-green clover, fragrant aud

their growth to continue as on grass. This
feed has a similar effect to that Of late
grass, before the frost has hurt it. 1t avoids
costiveness on the one hand and securing OF
the other, being deprived of its water and
yet retaining the property of the juices. In
the intervals of good weather the sheep may

FOR the VERMONT FARMER
LETTER FROM CANADA.

Knowing that your interest in farming
oversteps the mere bounds Of state lines or
even national ones, l take the liberty to drop
you line from over the " line to give you
few items rs to what our farmers are doing
in her majesty's dominions and such like.
1t may not be generally known to your read
ers that Canada is getting to be quite
smart country, and is almost rivaling her
American cousin in agriculture and manu-
factures, but we respectfully inform them
that such is the fact. Agricuturally she is
not whit behind her neghbor as her lands
are as rich and productive, and her farms as
well cultivated and remuneratiye as any
others. Some Of the best farms we have
ever seen are here, and have made their
owners independent in all that constitutes
the true meaning Of that word. The present
year, however, owing to the lateness of the
season, there Is some backwardness Of the
crops, but lately the warm weather has
cbeered them into new vivacity, and they
are reaching eagerly forward to make up
for deficiencies and delinquencies.
The hay crop is later by two weeks than
usual, but there is more than usual guam
tity of grass which is generally being got in
good condition, although the most Of the
haying is being done in August. The man.
uiacture recently in OoaticoOk Of all the
utensils and tools for the haymaker's use,
has given an impetus to the labor Of getting
the hay and brought the prices Of machines,
&C., down more entirely to the reach of all.
The Coaticook Manufacturing Company
have this season made aud sent away several
hundred mowers Of the old Buckeye pattern,
now known here as " Our Mower" aud Mr..
Il. j. Gross has done a big thing in the
horse, drag, and hand rake business. For
horse rakes he is manufacturing the self lock-
ing rake, the Ithaca and Bay State rakes,
and the revolving rake at prices ranging
from about $50 to $35 or $40, so there is
an ample opportunity for one to make Sc.

dozen agents for the different kinds Of rakes,

For the VERMONT FARMER.
HOUSEKEEPING AT FAIRS.

In the horse race, as conducted at our
agricultural fairs there is not the remotest
suggestion Of agriculture. 1t does not give
the farmer a single new idea whereby he can
improve his stock, his farm, or anything con.
nected Herewith 1t is, then, introduced at
our fairs merely because il will lead people
to attend them. The question therefore
arises Is the horse race the best and great
est attraction which can be devised to bring
people to tho agricultural iairs2 If it is, let
it be retained if it is not, let it be dispens-
ed with and something else substituted for it..
In my opinion the above question should be
answered in the negative. 1t is not my
purpose to discuss this subject entirely as a
question of taste or morals, but rather as
mere matter of policy.
A very strong objection to the horse race
is that it is in many ways demoralizing. A
simple trial of speed is not Of necessity OBJ
jectionable, but the jockeying, the betting
the pool selling, the hot disputes, and the
rOwdyism generally, which seem to be al
most inseparably connected with racing, are
decidedly demOraliziug.
But, morals aside, there are other objoc-
tons to the introduction of horse racing at
the agricultural fairs. assert that the peo.
pie do not get their moneys worth out of
II race, for they are obliged to wait from 20
to 80 minutes while the horses are resting
and scoring y in order that they may see
the horses trot during period of two and a
half or three minutes, as the case may be.
