Raising Rye.

\ writer in the Country Gentleman
thinks that the light sandy fields that
are often left uncultivated should be de-
voted to an occasional crop of winter
rye. Light sandy soils produce the best
quality of rye, the grain giving a whittier
and sweeter quality of -four than heavier
soils, which are more valuable for other
crops. For rye these thin soils should
be ploughed early and harvested well
when the grain is to be sown. A half
bushel more of seed will be required to
the acre. Early sowing will require less
seed than late, AZ, il. sown early, the
plants spread SO as to fill the soil, even
if quite thin when they come up. Some
manures will cause an increase of double
that effected by Others. Suitably pre-
pared night soil, carefully applied and
narrowed in with the seed. makes one of
the best fertilizers for rye on any soil. In
the early spring, when the grain is three
or four inches high, bushel Of plaster
and gypsum, if sown broadcast to the
acre, will produce excellent results.
Shell lime, narrowed in after the seed is
sown, is also good. If sOwn late, one and
Ihree-fourths bushels of seed will be re-
quired TO the acre. Rye may be sOwn at
any time after the lst of September up
to the time for the ground to freeze, as
if it does not sprout III the fall it will
come i'll the spring, it being very hardy,
but the earlier sowing is altogether best.
If there is likely to be too much fall
growth, feeding it off with calves or
light stock does not injure it, while it
furnishes an excellent fall pasture for
calves or mich COWS.

Winter HOuse-PIants.

Pot plants that are to bloom in winter
should be examined at once to see if they
need shifting into larger pots. To get
the plant out of its pot, lay the left hand
over the top of the pot with the plant
between the fingers. Then grasping the
pot firmly with the right hand, invert it
and tap the edge lightly against a win
dow sill or any other projection until
the ball of earth comes out, as you would
turn jelly out of a mould. If the
roots have become matted closely around
the sides and bottom, the plant needs a
larger pot for geraniums, one size larger
is best, as they will bloom better in the
house IT their roots are restricted. He
liotropes, fuschias, roses and carnations
will need pots two sizes larger. Put a
little thoroughly decayed manure into
the bottom of the pot, set the ball of
earth into it, and fill up the sides with
fresh soil, pressing it down gently
around the roots. The surface of the
soil should lie nearly half an inch below
the level of the edge of the pot, so as to
give room for water, and as the earth
sinks down, a fresh supply can be added
occasionally. \ good compost for plants
can be made out of one-third perfectly
decayed manure, one-third sharp sand
and one-third garden soil. Mix this
well together, and if few spoonfuls of
air-slacked lime can be stirred in with it,
it will kill all the Larvae of insects.

Hauling Manure.

In drawing manure, | Use no wagon
box; with two or three stout planks for
the bottom, and two wide boards for side
pieces, the rigging is complete. Arrived
in the field, take off a side board, and
with potato hook, pull off enough ma
nure for a heap, starting the team, an
other heap is made from the other side,
and then one from each end, making
always FIVE, and sometimes six heaps
from the load. | rake off in heaps, be-
cause the manure is unloaded so much
more rapidly than by pitching. If | had
to pitch it over wagon box, as is usu-
ally done, / should spread as ] unloaded
1t is in this rapid uloading that much of
the saving is made. If the distance to
draw is short, or the manure inconven-
lent to get at, | sometimes find it better
have two men to load. The manure
heaps afterward while the team is pow
ing or engaged in other work. 1t is a
material waste to allow horses to be idle
while the manure is being spread. Chr.

Steaniing Fodder for Sheen.

\ farmer in Ohio who has expert
mented extensively in feeding sheep, as
is reported, selected 300 ewes and divided
them into TWO equal numbers, and as
nearly equal in size, weight, age and
condition rs he could get them. One lot
OF 100 was placed in one she'd and re-
ceived liberal rations of clover. hav and
sheaf oats. The other lot of $50 was
placed in neighboring she'd, and fed
twice-a day with steamed corn-fodder.
cut to thr"e-quarters of an inch in
length. mixed with two bushels of bran,
and wet down with boiler-water-at the
rate of one bushel of the mixed feed to
ten sheep. Before beginning each lot
was weighed on set of stock scales con-
veniently near, and thereafter were
weighed twice week. Each lot re-
ceived the same care in watering bed
ding, exercise. protection against storms,
&c. The experiments were continued
over period of eight weeks. The re-
cords of the details were 50 satisfactory
a. to seem TO warrant the purchase of an
engine and boiler, and the putting up of
works and conveniences on a scale ade-
1uate to the wants of the flock. Since
aii'iI IS ide lSu lulS Iooi dlltlOrt tSclu-
sively. Last winter, owing to the failuee
of the hay crop, he kept over his entire
stock, consisting of 20 horses, about
20 head of cattle, and between 800 and
LOO sheep, without pound of hay, and
they came into spring in better condition
than they have ever done on dry feed.
The sheet-anchor of steam feeding, he
believes, Is the fodder of -owed corn, of
which he cut and cured 500 tons ia.t
summer from eighty acres of upland
clay -od.
