COllpctinv Fall Wastp

Many persons feel the want of manure
and indeed there are few who have more
than they can use. Where it is scarce the
first thought is to buy, and often this is the
best plan; but in many cases one might make
considerable by little care for article.
which usually go to waste.
We know that there are many things re.
commended that are of little account thing
which involve hard labor and yet realiz,
but little in the end. Such are often founc
in the various schemes for making manur,
out of tan-bark, saw-dust, swamp-muck, anC
so-forth, which once in awhile and unde
very peculiar circumstances may pay fol
themselves, are as general thing little
more than time thrown away
But it is always good thing to keep al
parts of ones place in neat and nice con
dition, and the material gathered together
in this way into the compost heap will gen
orally pay for ITSELF However careful may
be farmer or gardener to keep things clean
there will often be odd corners that will be
left by the pressure of work to grow up tC
coarse vegetation. If this be cut when leis.
ure time comes it will generally pay in the
compost heap AT this season of the yeal
especially, there is often a great quantity OF
vegetable refuse of one sort another living
about 1t will pay to collect it; and espec-
tally is this true Of leaves when they are in
any great quantity and not far away.
We have known persons with pretty good
Judgment to hesitate about taking a second
crop from piece of grassland in not very
good condition, because they thought il
would be running the ground too hard to dc
so.MThey say it is best to leave the vege-
tation on the ground to rot. This is all very
well if it did rot but little of it does. II
mostly dries up, and the best matter is lost
1t would pay much better to NOW and put
into the barnyardor or compost heap, and then
return in the shape ecftopdressng afterwards.
The extra labor in case like this paws very
well.
Above all it is good thing for those who
have no horse or cow-no barn -yard-to save
the little waste material for compost heap.
Every garden might have one in some by
place. not exposed to view. 1t is an induce
ment ia have clean place, and then there s

Agricultural.
Farm and Gnrden Nnies.


Dr. Lorng, of Massachusetts,, who claims
to be a practical farmer, and we suppose he
is, rs he talks of "my own farm gives high
praise to the value of Hungarian grass as a
winter food for milch cows. He raised last
year from seventy-ive to one hundred tons
oft. Cut and mixed with corn meal, he
saws he prefers it to timothy and corn meal
mixed. There is great diversity of opin-
ion as to the value OF this crop. Plenty OF
it can be raised per acre, but it is admitted
to be great exhaustcr OF the soil For one
thing we know it to be excellent, aud had
we II hrgcr farm half acre of it should be
certainly sown. We would select the plot
which could be commanded from a cover OF
some kind and the patch should be LETT to
m lture its seed. Our object would be, not
to feed farm stock, but the superior animal
il supplying us with all the reed-brds we
cjuld consume. The bird is extremely fof d
of milletseed, and really prefers it to that OF
the marsh reed We have seen hundreds
in a field of couple Of acres. We suggest
this to farmers, as we did years ago, who
have plenty ofland and have a taste for q
toothsome dish of rare excellence. We
know of one man who followed our sugges-
tion some years ago, and he Informed us thai
he shot every morning all the birds he need.
ed for the day for himself and friends
We saw an article going the rounds "WilI
cattle raising and feeding pay?' 1t is t
an overwise question to ask. Like all 9TH, r
branches ofiarming, it will be found to be
profitable when circumstances will admit ol
it On good-sized farms where there is land
to spare and adapted to grazing, from tN o
to ten head bul-locks can be raised and fed
with profit. Some farmers may do better by
purchasing young steers. At any rate this
additional labor is not felt; the cattle bring
in good round sum when sold, and where
is there a farmer with Il grain of pride for
his calling who would not look with down
right satisfaction on his little herd of pond
erous bullocks grazing in his fields.
Ifyou want to grow chestnut trees, the
fruit must be planted as soon as it is perfect
ly ripe and while it is in its fresh state. II
few trees only are wanted, plant the chest
nuts about three inches deep just where it
is desired to have the trees to stand perman-
emily. They do better not to be transplanted,
and sometimes will not grow. When they
reach a proper height the stems can be graft
ed with any better sorts attainable. But it
requires a careful hand to graft the chestnut
to insure its growth. When fairly started
the young requisites ahead rapidly, and
often takes one by surprise at the earlness OF
its bearing. Waste places, where the land
cannot be used for crops, will do for this
tree Germantown Telegraph.

1t is not the amount of land that makes
the farm rich, but the amount well improved,
A few acres titled TO their utmost extent OF
production will yield much more of profit
than the large farm badly managed and till
ed. The worst phase of farming is the
greediness Of men for land. 4 new conner
will put his last dollar in land, and 60 in
debt for his house and farming tools, and in
ninety-nine cases out of a hundred he will,
after striving hard and living poor, find him
self, at the end of a dozen years, worse oil
than when he first began. This is the gem
eral rule of those who choose farming for
their profession,
