Good Thing About Rye.

A writer in Chicago Times says "Ryc
will grow and produce fine crops far north
of the degree of latitude where wheat will
fail. 1t is, indeed, one of the most har-
dy crops that are cultivated. In regions
where fall.sown wheat is almost sure TO be
killed, fallsown rye is almost sure to sur
vive and do well, Throughout the prairie
regions Of Illinois very little wheat went
through last winter without injury, but rye
came out all right, and generally produced
good crops. In many places where wheat
was ploughed up last spring, rye yielded
twenty-five or thirty bushels to the acre.
Rye will grow and produce very fine crops
on soils so poor that little else will yield
enough to pay for harvesting. 1t delights
in dry, sandy soils, and will yield a return
for the labor and seeds, on land that will
produce little but white beans. There are
many thousands of acres of land in different
parts of the west, that yield hardly anything,
that would produce paying crops of rye if it
was sowed. Southwest of this city rye is
grown on land that will produce no paying
crops of any other grains. Rye is one of
the best grains to SOW where ii is desired to
seed the land down to timothy, clover or
other grasses. 1t has little foliage as COM
pared with oats and wheat, and according
ly does not shade the ground so much. 1t
allows sufficient sunshine to reach the soil
to cause the young grass to grow very well.
After the crop ofrye is harvested, the young
grass is not likely to be burned up, as is the
case when wheat and oats are cut, and often
the young grass is entirely lost.

0il-Cake for Mich Cows.

A correspondent of the Toledo Farm
Journal gives the readers of that paper the
benefit of his experience, as follows:
Dairyman in this vicinity, where contin.
ued feeding of milch cows is requisite from
five to seven months of the year, who have
not tested the virtue of oil-cake as an econ-
omizer in fodder, can scarce believe how
profitable its results are especially during
long, cold severe winters. Owning about
forty cows several years since, all of which
were stabbed during the winter season, the
writer's attention was called to the value of
cotton seed oil as an economizer of fodder and
trial was given it, 4 ton or two heing pur-
chased at st. Louis and shipped to Toledo
in January. Several bushels were thrown
into barrel, which was then filed with
water; and when the oil.cak had become
dissolved about a quart of the fluid was
poured over the quantity of middlings, cut
hay, or whatever fodder was given each ami
NAL at one feeding, great care being taken
not to give too much, in order not to cloy
the Appetite result which follows if eau
ton is not observed in this respect. The
consequence was that the cows grew sleek,
ere perfectly healthy, gave more milk, and
required far less food than before very
desirable result at that time as the winter
proved a long one and feeding had to be
kept up until the middle of May. So long
as continued to remain engaged in the dairy
business l never again gave up the use Of
oil-cake, although it became difficult to OBJ
tain the cotton.seed oil-cake, and tried lin
seed oil.cake, using it in the same manner,
with good results, although prefer the for.
mer, but would always use the latter when
that is not obtainable. When fodder is
sclrce and dear the value of this experiment
is great, indeed, especially in winter; and l
would advi Sc all who are engaged in the
production of milk for city markets to give
it a fair trail, well convinced they will not
regret it. So far as regards an increase in
the quantity of cream, l cannot say from
experience, though it is alleged to produce
cream good quality and ofincreased quanti-
ty. Those who sell milk and keep cows for this
purpose cannot fail to derive great benefit
from the use of oil. cake in the manner above
described, as it is a saving of money, while
it also serves as an aid in making it,

To CAN SWEET CoRN.-The corn should

Why Seeds Fail.

In the first place, however, we will ex-
anime the causes of failure. If small seeds
are planted too deep, they either rot in the
da mp cold earth, for the want of the warmth
necessary to their termination, or, after
termination, perish before the shoots can
reach the sun and air so that which was
designed for their support and nourishment
proves their grave.
If the soil is stiff clay, it is often too
cold at the time the seeds are planted to ef-
feet their termination for it must be un
derstoOd that warmth and moisture are nec-
cessary to the termination of seeds. Neither
of these will do alone. Seeds may be kept
