Comparative Value of Straw for Stock

THE value of straw as fodder for do
nestle animals will always depend on the
condition in which the crop was secured.
Chemists tell us that in the straw Of
cereal grain, when kernels have arrived
at maturity, there is more or less muci-
laginous and saccharine matter. When
the grain is in the milk-state the GUAM
THY of such material is much greater
than it is after the period of perfect ma
turity. Sir HI. Davy says: When we
allow wheat to stand uncut till the grain
is fully ripe, a portion of the sugar in
the sap is converted into mucilage and
lost in the atmosphere. Intelligent
farmers understand that, when straw Of
any kind of grain or grass is exposed to
. the alternate influences Of rain, dew
sunshine and drying wind, all the muci-
laginOus and saccharine material will be
dissolved and washed out in a few days
But if the straw of wheat be harvested
while the leaves are somewhat green,
and be protected from the influences of
the elements just alluded to by the use
of hay-caps to cover the shocks Of grain
in stormy weather, the straw will furnish
a large quantity of excellent fodder
for sheep or other animals. The color is
always reliable Indication of the rela-
tive amount of nutritive matter present
or wanting in any kind of straw or hay.
Some agricultural chemists have record
ed analyses Of the nutritive value of
wheat straw, making it in some instances
almost equal to poor quality of hay.
But it is evident to every practical
farmer that equal quantities of the same
kind Of straw possess widely different
quantities of nutriment when the sam
pies were not cured alike. The leaves of
grass and clover, when cured properly,
retain all their nutritive properties; but
when allowed to dry in the wind and
sunshine, and to be wet few times, they
will make but little better fodder than
the dry and weather-beaten leaves of
forest trees which rustic on the ground
in autumn. The same is true of wheat
straw. If cut green and we'll cured it
will make good fodder; otherwise do
mestic animals might as we'll be fed on
pine shavings-N. 7. Herald

A Farmer Learns Gardening.

OMEN won't work garden" So said
a lady, some years since, with whom we
were talking on gardening. Chow,
then, said we, do you get vegetables"
"WeH, we buy them, what we do get
it isn't many, though. l would not
mind working in the garden myself if
only knew how"
THE easiest thing in the world, " said we
to her, naming two or three books relating
to the subject. The men would pillow
the ground and harrow 1t, certainly; and
after the first season you will become a
pretty good gardener. Perhaps the men
folks are troubled with what you were
complaining of: Don't know how"
"Oh, no, it cannot be that" replied
our fair friend. "Men know everything :;
at least they know how to keep out Of
the garden, although they dearly like
nice vegetables"
"Well," we answered, edo you coax
one of these lords of creation to pillow
and harrow the garden, take care of it
yourself and hire the hard work done.
You will be surprised how simple a thing
gardening is when you once know how.
We have a recipe for making men like
gardening, and will tell it to you if you
will never mention it."

Early or Late Planting.

Is IT best to plant as early as possible
or to defer the work as long as can be
safely. done? This is a question in which
all farmers are interested, and to which
each year they are practically obliged to
reply. While there are many advocates
for each Of these extremes, I think there
is a golden mean" which will lead TO
much better results. Either of the eX-
tremes is open to grave objections,
which do not lie against time half way
between. 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 attention. But the OBJ
jeCtiOns to this course are that the ground
and weather are so cold early in the
season that the seed either rots in the
ground or else is a long while 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 which
are quite serious. If the season is b ack-
ward and the planting is put off as late
as possible, the plants are not large
enough to be hoed more than once before
haydn 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 go over the land with a harrow in
order to destroy the weeds which have
started up and also to make a fine bed
for the seed, and do the planting as soon
as possible. Then the crop will get as
good a start as the weeds, grow rapidly,
be ready for the second or third hoeing
before time for getting hay, and have
abundant time in which to get perfectly
ripe.-COaat4y Gentleman.
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1875-05-20

has sunset or a sunrise, at which YOU
can sit and see the shadows sail across
land and wood, by night can see the
Milky Way and lose yourself among the
stars-such window is as good as a
poem every time one chances through it.,
and It's possession gives nobility to the
poorest and meanest structure.
The windows of the house are fire.
quently the only outlooks for the souls
of the weary workers within. If the
mistress of the house be of feeble BODY
it is impossible for her in any other way
to go so far from home as she can 90 by
looking through her window, if that
window has some beauty in the view it
gives. If she be too busy in necessary
duties to spare time for running here and
there, frequent chances through that
window can be 10 her what Journeys are
TO many another woman; through il she
keeps acquaintance with sky and air,
with darting birds and sailing clouds and
changing light Of landscape; by means Of
it her soul is every day in unison with
outer nature; and in the range and
brightness of her thoughts and those of
the woman who possesses no such win
dow and does not long for it there is all
the difference that exists between lark
and dormouse.
Let Us then have space and scenery of
some pleasant sort or other about our
houses when we build them, I'M
hampered by anything but our own
choice. Do note let us open our
windows upon the common road for
the sake of the passers-by, and build our
barns and sheds between us and the sea
view or the mountain range. Let US re-
member that the house shut up by mar
row streets and bounded by dull neigh
bors is dear at any price, and does not
deserve to be loved as home by it's chill
dren. Free sight is as precious as free
health while the one purifies the circu-
lation of the body's vital current, the
other gives vigor to the soul. He who
plants his house at the base, rather than
halfway up the hillside, for fear of the
winters paths to be dug, will seldom dig
any other path in life worth the tread
ing.
Keep, then, we will say, for our part,
beautiful as they are, your silver and
black walnut, and your plate-glass, your
velvet carpets and satin cushions, your
lace and damask and gliding, if they are
only to be enjoyed like appurtenances OF
a splendid prison, and give us, rather,
the plain and pleasant farmhouse, with
out a trait of costly magnifcence about
it, but with free scope for light and air,
and with picture by Gods own artist at
every window!-H aper's Bazaar.
