MMLET.-In the absence of anything
that has yet come to hand In regard to
the best soil for mlllet, and proper depth
for planting, we compile the following:
A bushel of seed, if sown broadcast, in
drills; two or three pecks is the proper
quantity for an acre. The ground
should be previously MANFRED and
plOwed, then SOW the seed and harrow,
taking care not to cover the seed too
deeply. Merely to cover them is suffi.
cient; never get them over two inches
deep. Sow any time in April for the
first crop, and in July for the second.
Any land adapted to wheat will make
good millet. The yield per acre, under
favorable conditions, is from three to
five tons.

slip the tail through the territ of the

bent at right angles. The arm of the

in length equal to the thickness of the

the diameter given above is sufficient TO
ventilate a room of moderate Size.

Alter turning them out to pasture he
put one peck of dry ashes per week on

AGRICULTURE.

STACKING CORN FODDER. II have
practiced stacking fodder for twenty
~years-ncyer had any spoil, and after
try ing various ways, think IL decidedly
preferable TO all other modes, because
fret, none but the butts, the worthless
portion, are exposed to the bleaching
rains Of winter, and second, because a
larger quantity can be placed close by
the feeding place than by any other
way. ! put usually fifty shocks Of one
hundred hills each In a stack. A few
sticks are placed on the ground to raise
the centre Of the stack. The centre
must be kept up sufficiently to shed
rain from the butts throughout the
stack. The stack must be made of such
diameter only as 10 allow the tops Of
bundles to lap, and thus keep up the
centre, a single row of bundles only
forming the circle. The finishing of
the stack should be In form similar to
an ordinary l00.hlll shock, and be well
tied with a band. | feed only four head
of cattle from such a stack, and never
had any damaged by rain; only one
course appears to get damp, aud the
cattle prefer 1t In that condition. IL a
snow.storm occurs, or a sleet storm, or
II very heavy rain, | Immediately re-
10Y n entire course, and set on end
all not fed. | feed In the ordinary box
manger, always in the stable, being
particular to have the butts of bundles
placed in the bottom of the manager.
None Is ever wasted-not even a husk.
The stalks remaining are thrown under
the cows, and make good bedding,
always keeping them clean.
FARMERS are slow to learn the value
of carrots for horses. They are so nu-
t%ritious that livery stable men feed out
large quantities OF them TO their horses
instead Of grain. -Four quarts of oats
and the same Of carrots are considered
as good for a horse as eight quarts of
oats; and horses that are not worked
much will keep In good condition on
hay and carrots only. A few small pc.
tatoes are also very good for a horse,
especially to give him a smooth, glossy
coat. The farmer who has no carrots.
beets or turnips for his stock when
winter approaches, has made a serious
mistake. In England, where land is
dear, the farmers grow immense crops
of beets to feed out in winter; and II
profitable there, why not here? Prob
ably the mos easily raised, most pro.
ductive and most profitable root crop of
this country is some of the varieties of
beets, some of which grow from eigh-
teen to twenty-four inches long, and
yield a thousand bushels to the acre, If
the land is highly MANFRED; but the
best way to grow them is to grow a crop
of potatoes the previous year on the old
land, with a heavy application of man
ure, and with no manure the year the
beets are grown, and there will be but
few weeds, if the land was kept clean
the year before.
