THE YOUNG HEIFER.

So far as it can be controlled, the
period of dropping the first calf
should be arranged to take place in
the month Of May or June, so as
to induce the largest possible flow of
milk, beginning about the second
week after calving, when the grass is
green and succulent. The milk
glands are now in condition of growth
TO be easily influenced by food, and a
greater development of the mammary
or g]andular system takes place than
if the animal came in on dry food.
This for the young heifer is extremely
important, as it will mot only secure
the largest possible flow of milk at
that age, but create the capacity for
large secretions all through the life of
the animal.
A COW coming in the first time in
May or in June, will be worth good
deal more than the same COW would
be to come in at any other season.

THE WOOL CLIP OF 1878.

1t seems to be generally admitted
that the wool clips of California, Or
egon and Texas this season will be
larger than those of last year and
that the average quality, except per-
haps of the California woods, is also
improved. These woods come into
market before those of the rest of the
country. The clip of Kentucky is
said to be of very good quality. The
very great injury to sheep by dogs
has done much to decrease the clips
in several of the Southern States.
In the more Northern States, shear
ing will be somewhat later than usual
on account of the backward spring
hence the clip will not 60 into market
quite so early as usual. Generally
there seems to be very firm feeling
as to prices, and it is not improbable
that those who sell early in the season
will realize as much as those who
hold longer. Notwithstanding the
severe winter, there has been compar-
atively little disease among sheep, and
they came through the winter in at
least usually good condition.
There have been very considerable
importations of Australian and South
American woods, which have prevented
the small stocks from becoming en-
tirely exhausted. The trade is quite
in all departments. There is the
most demand for delaine and combing
woods.
Farmers have often been advised
against the policy of crowding all or
nearly all the wool clip of the year
on the market at once. 1t is a little
comical to read earnest appeals in the
New York Economist to wool buyers
to avoid advancing the price of wool
by too much competition in buying.
1t holds that "the wisest policy in the
purchase of woods is to buy as you go
and take the chances of rise or fall
in the price of the staple according
to the demand and prices obtained for
manufactured goods. By this means
interest is saved and the producer
ceases to be q rival bidder against
his own interest. By this means he
can use his money for the uses the
capital is intended"
We do not see that any consider
able advance over last years prices
is to be expected, and there certainly
can be no good reason for a decline
in prices Western Rural.

EARLY OR LATE PLANTING.

Is it best to plant as early as possible
or to defer this work as long as can
be safely done -? This is question in
which all farmers are interested, and
to which each year they are prac-
tically obliged to reply. While there
are many advocates for each of these
extremes, l think there is "golden
mean" which will lead to much better
results. Either Of the extremes is
open to grave objections, which do
not lie against time half way be-
tween. 1t is true, as the advocates
Of early planting claim, that, if the
seed is got into the ground very early,
the work is done and out Of the way
of other things which then need at
tention. But the objections to this
course are that the ground and wealth
er are so cold early in the season that
the seed either rots in the ground or
else is a long time coming up; often
falls prey to wire-worms.;the plants,
if any appear, are tender and grow
very slowly, while the weeds, which
are more hardy, at once go in and
possess the land. Late planting is
not open to these objections, but it is
open to some whicR are quite serious.
If the season is backward, and the
planting is put off as late as possible,
the plants are rot large enough to be
hoed more than once before haying-
time, and there is danger that the
crop will not be fully matured before
the autumn frosts. I think the best
way is to begin the preparation Of
the land quite early, pillow, and get it
nearly fitted to receive the seed. Keep
blowing and fitting, but do not put
in the seed until both ground and
weather are warm. Then 60 over
the land with harrow, in order to
destroy the weeds which have started
up, and also to make fine bed for
the seed, and do the planting as soon
as possible. Then the crop will get
as good start as the weeds, grow
rapidly, be ready for the second or
third hoeing before the time for get
ting the hay, and have abundant
time in which to get perfectly ripe.
