SOWING FLAX IN WHEAT,

IL i were known by farmers general
ly that fax can be raised in our wheat
fields, where the wheat is winter killed
and very thin on the ground, there
might be thousands of bushels of flax
seed raised, where otherwise nothing
but rag weeds Will grow, much to the
annoyance of farmers and injury to the
ground. | lave tried it, and know
whereof ] speak 1t should be sown
early; if sOwn early the ground gets dry
enough TO harrow it and drag it the
same way it is drilled, and it will pull
out but little, and benefit your wheat
greatly, If your ground is rough, like
corn ground PUT in with shovel-plow,
drag it first and then SOW just before a
rain, if possibl,- II it remains wet, SOW
your fax seed among your wheat, as you
would grass SEED, and it will take, but
perhaps not sp well as though it was
narrowed. | lave sowed it the three
ways. and go: good crops.
Where your wheat is thick you will
not have much lax, but where it is thin
you will have good fax 1t will keep your
ground clean of weeds and leave it in
good condition. 1t can be cut with a
reaper, and thrashed with separator
the same as wheat, FARMER.

TO SELL OR HOLD!

We frequently receive requests from
readers to tell them what the prospect is
for rise or fall in price of certain pro-
ducts. In short. they want to know
whether to sell or hold Now this is a
responsibility no agricultural paper
wants to assume; it is too great. Prob
abilities may be stated, and generally
are; beyond this no man can go. Too
much depends upon contingencies in
these matters. We might say, sell your
wheat now, for there is no prospect of
its being higher-and next week a war
might be declared in Europe that would
send wheat up fifty per cent. Wouldn't
we catch it then? The farmer, smarting
under loss of $500, would declare war
against all false prophets, and we would
suffer much from our ill-tined advice.
Let farmers assume this direct response
bility, each for himself. 1t is the duty
of the press to keep him posted Oh crops,
failures, prices and prospects, but furth-
er than this he must be governed by his
Judgment and surrounding circumstan-
ces. If he knows what a crop costs him,
and what he can afford to sell at, then
all difficulty is removed. Let him watch
the markets, and when the price offered
will justify, and there is no reasonable
probability of a rise soon, then sell. If
be is in debt and the interest accumulat-
ing will over-balance profits from any
probable rise in price, sell and discharge
the debt. If he can afford to hold he
should always do it, when the price will
moi pay a reasonable profit on cost of
production.-Ohio Farmer.

NARROWING WHEAT.

The uniform testimony of all those
who have tried narrowing wheat in the
spring is, that it pays. One subscriber
says: 81 have acted upon the advice
given by you, and | find the result at
harvest most satisfactory. | began the
custom by narrowing fifteen acres, or
acres that | SOW Ny neighbors, who
had never seen it done, insisted that it
would kill it out | shall continue the
practice, as | have now procured one OF
the Thomas smoothing harrows, which,
in a great measure, enables me to dis
pense with the roller, which | still use,
however. when the early spring is an
unusually dry one. think by using the
harrow that the wheat tillers-that is,
stools-out better than when it is not
cultivated in the spring"
Another subscriber writes as follows:
81 find that narrowing wheat in the
spring pays well. 1t gives the wheat a
good start, and the narrowed portion
ripens as early as the unharrowed part,
and has heavier seeds.n
In narrowing wheat, care must be ia
ken that the soil is sufficiently dry, so
that the harrow will pulverize it nicely.
In such cases, once narrowing is advan-
tageous to the wheat crop as one good
working of field of corn in the early
part of its growth Experience and
judgment must determine the precise
time when this work should be done.
1t should not be done until the heavy
frosts in March are over, which will,
however, depend mach upon the season.

DRAGGING GROUND.

Ed. JEFF: Many farmers waste much
of their time yearly in the way they drag
their ground in this section of country
by using only small harrows. Where
the harrow is too light, Oh rough ground.
often see them pile on chunks of wood
to keep the harrow down, which is a
great waste of time and labor. The bet
ter way is TO have large. hinge or fiex-
ible harrows made in three sections
lie: the wood be light, and u,e S 4 inch
steel teeth, and yon will want at least
forty-five, and you may have fifty five,
teeth. These harrows can be used to
great advantage. Two heavy horses
will draw such harrow If your horses
are light, put on three horses abreast. and
If you have not three horses, and your
drag is too heavy. take off one section. =
Three horses can be easily managed, if
you have the right kind of whipple-
tree. One man can drag as much as two
with four horses and two small dracs
There are several kinds of three-horse
whippletrees. The best that | have
seen is the kind wler- only two single
trees are used The middle clip should
be from one end, and ! 3 from the
other, with a wheel on the inside clip.
with a short chain over the wheels. This
Is not any heavier than an ordinary whip
pletree. 1t is also better TO use three
horses to plow where your ground is hard
or heavy. FARMER

APPLYING MANURE.

By series of experiments made some
years ago, i'm England, it was shown
that bal yard manure benefited crops
most the first season, when covered
about two inches deep with soil. This
result appears reasonable, but the ques-
tion is, how can farmers place their
manures in the ground at this depth? 1t
is not practicable in any case, but they
can approximate to it in some cases.
When manure is plowed under in the or
dinary way, some of it is covered too

ure and harrow it in, much of it is left
upon the surface, and is partially lost,
as the ammonia that goes off in the at
n.osphere is the virtue of the manure
its,lf
1t is strange that we should find intelli-
gent farmers. at this late day in agri-
cultural progress, who deny that barn
yard manure can be injured Ivy expos
ure to the air and sun; vet they do ex-
isti few years ago a farmer in Gen.
tral New York wrote several articles for
publication, in which he attempted to
prove that when manure lies upon the
surface of the land and dries up. its fer
tiiity is still in it, concentrated i'm the
small crusts that remain.
Farmers, let me cautionyou against
the folly of caring your maHures upon
your field and spreading them for week
or longer before you plow them under.
If this be done in the spring with a |
warm sun and high drying winds large |
portion of them, or. rather their fertil- |
ity, will pass off in the atmosphere.
Don't be deceived in this matter while |
your o'factory nerves bear a puDgent |
evidence of what | say You cannot |
afford to work your farms on this vast
ing principle. Manure is money. and if |
one should see you scattering 'sgreep
backs" over the field some windy day.
the evidence of your insanity would be
but little more tangible than when you
spread your manures and leave them to
evaporate in the sun end by winds.

FEEDING YOUNG PIGS.

An experienced farmer, with whom
we recently cCpyersed, said he always
had good luck with pigs, and a visit to
his sites confirmed the assertion. Some
notes on his management can hardly
fail TO prove interesting.
The prevalent idea that pigs should be
kept constantly growing is good one,
but liable, nevertheless, to nislead- 1t
is not best TO stuff pigs as full as they
will hold, and especially those Just
weaned. The sucking pig gets his ra
ton often and in moderate quantities Of
food the simplest and most easily digest
ed. The sow's milk is full of flesh and
bone forming material, and promotes a
steady and uniform growth, building up
frame without too greatly accumulat
ing fat. WEAVING time is naturally and
justly regarded as critical period, and
here is where farmers are apt to err IN
high feeding with rich and concentrated
food. Cows milk is excellent, and if
most of the cream has been skinned off,
it probably comes nearer the pigs natur-
al food at this tender age than any 9th
er. But milk is rejected as not rich and
'fattening' enough, and corn meal, the
most concentrated kind of food, is sub
stituted in its stead. Now corn meal is
altogether too difficult of digestion for
weaving pigs, and at most should orly
be given in small proportions. With an
exclusive corn-meal diet the young pigs
will stop growing longer or larger framed
carcasses too small for profitable feed
ing. A great deal better plan is to con
tinue feeding milk, and this sparingly,
adding little bran and small quantity
of corn meal. This last can be increased
as the pigs become accustomed to the
change of diet and their stomach will
bear a stronger food. The wheat bran
and skim milk supply the phosphates
which build up the pigs frame, while a
very little corn meal will supply the fat
forming material which is taken from
milk in cream, and at a greatly reduced
cost. At no time should pigs be starved
or stinted, but it is important to remem-
Der that pigs may be dwarfed by feeding
too much and too rich food and with as
bad results as from feeding too little.
Great care is needed in feeding any kind
of young animals, and the pig, being
especially piggish in his greed, is par
ticularly liable to injury from eating too
heartily. With all young animals
growth rather than fat should be aimed
at, and phosphate foods should be given
as far as possible. Corn in every stage
belongs to the last and fattening stage
of feeding of any kind of stock, instead
of being used indiscrininately for stock
of all ages.-OhiO State Journal
