Barley as Hog Feed.

As corn is frequently scarce and dear at the
time hogs need it most, permit me to say a
word in favor of barley. 1t should be sown
on rich, dry land, as early as possible-land
occupied the year before in corn or potatoes
is preferable. 1t is most excellent crop to
seed down with, as it does not shade the
ground to such an extent as most other crops
Two bushels per acre is abont the right guam
tity to SOW. As soon as the barley is fairly
up SOW two bushels of plaster per acre. When
fully ripe, cut with moving machine or scythe
and let it get perfectly dry; then rake into
windows, draw in, and thresh at once.
Ground and soured it makes the cheapest
and best hog-feed have ever used. 1t is also
excellent boiled or steamed with pumpkins or
roots. The straw makes good fodder and
bedding. The great beauty of the crop is its
cheapness and earliness, coming just at the
time when required most. By giving hogs
the run of the orchard and feeding barley as
recommended, find no difficulty in making
early spring pigs dress over 300 pounds by
Christmas. Corn-fed pork has strong fla
vor, resulting from the acrid oil contained in
the grain-a flavor not admired by any ex-
cept Gentiles of the old type. Hogs intended
for family use should be fed on ground barley,
buckwheat or oats for at least three weeks be-
fore slaughtering, to improve the flavor of
their flesh. aThat corn alone makes solid pork
is all bosh. As we have but one life to live
here, let us have the best to eat that can be
had, especially when the best is the cheapest

THE PRESS.
THE FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Green Manuring.


The american Rurdl Home saws il is too
late in the day to question the utility of
green manures. The value in renovating
light, wornout soils, and in affording pabu-
lum to growing crops has been too fully
demonstrated by the practical experience of
numerous farmers extending through long
series of years, as well as by the more accu-
rate experiments of analytical chemists.
Red clover is one of the best, if not the
very best, green manure that the farmer of
the Northern States cen grow, but whether
it is the most economical or not, may be
questioned.
Buckwheat possesses, in large degree,
some of the qualities demanded.
But in positive plant food, such as nitro
gen, phosphorus, potash, etc., the buckwheat
plant is one of the poorest
Corn has all the merits OF buckwheat, with
the exception that it takes longer to reach the
poisoning stage, when we suppose all plants
are richest in plant food.
But OF all plants grown in this climate,
peas and beans are richest in those elements
of plant food most desirable to be supplied to
growing crops. Beans are richer than peas,
but as the burden which an acre would bear
is much less than that of peas, we should
suppose the latter would be the more valua-
BILE as green manure. A comparison of
these legumes with the various grasses, other
legumes and cereals, will show their relative
importance Of the albuminoids, those con-
stituents of plants containing nitrogen, the
grasses average 95 per cent. peas in blossom
14.3 per cent; lucerne IA; red clover 1874.
The grains of wheat contain 10; of oats, II;
maize, 10; milIet, 14.5; buckwheat, 9; peas,
22.4; field beans, 25.5; corn fodder, green 1 !;
pea vines, green, 50; wheat straw, 2; rye
straw, 1.5; barley, do, 2; oat, do, 2 s; pea,
do, 6.5; bean, do, 1912; corn stalks, 8.
OF potash, the ash of red clover contains
345; wheat straw, lis; oat straw, %: pea
vines, 21.S. Wheat grain contains 31.1; oat
grains, 15.9; maize, IS; peas 40. Of phos-
phoric acid, clover contains so; wheat straw,
"a; oat straw, AZ; pea vines, 10; wheat,
1872; oats, POT; maize, AT; and peas, 1868
We wish that farmers could be induced tc
give the field pea very thorough trial as &
green manure. The seed is not expensive, il
can be sown early in spring, would be in bios
som as early or earlier than red clover, anG
would afford good burden of vegetable mat
ter to tighten the soil, increase its amount o.
humus, and also furnish those valuable ingre
dents without which soil cannot be pro
ductive.
