Break up the land through the fall
and winter and let lie. Then, as soon in
the spring as tho ground is sufficiently
Try, harrow down and SOW thereon, if it
ID possible to be had, ten bushels OF gas
house or other lime to the acre, which
cross pillow in as shallow as possible. -
Then sow n bushel of oats, accompanied
with about 200 pounds Of good super
phosphate to the acre, borrowing all in
together, and following the narrowing
by sowing twelve quarts Of timothy and
four quarts Of oloverseed to the acre and
cross harrow. The oats may be either
suffered to ripen, or, what ie preferable,
mown for hay as 500 as out in head.
As a fodder crop the oats will be found
worth more than q crop Of grass, SO hat
nothing will be lost on that score. For
horses and sheep there is no better fod-
der 10 be found, and the young timothy,
by being thus protected in the earlier
stages of its growth, will have become
fully established by the time the oats are
cut, a beautiful set obtained, and q
pretty fair crop may be mown the same
fall.
Winter Shelter for stock.
A correspondent writing to the CouW-
yry Gentleman makes the following
sensible and pertinent comments on th
important subject of winter shelter for
stock; When there is but little profit in
feeding stock or in any branch Of agri-
culture, and a farmer handles no money
that is not earned before he gets it, all
good farmers are forced to practice the
strictest economy. The greatest error
of which any farmer can be guilty is
that of attempting to winter badly shell
tered farm stock. The poorest and most
phiftless Of farmers will shelter his
working horses, but his other stock
finds shelter in some open shed or, per-
haps, the stock yard. 1t ia an easy
method of wintering stock, there being
no stables to clean; a little hay scattered
in the corners OF the yard answers Tor
feeding, aud fer watering the stock can
60 TO the trough when they wish. Farm.
ers Of this class do not always stop to
count the cost. They do not always
consider that an uusbeltered animal re-
quires more heat.producing food than
an animal that is warmly sheltered
They do not always consider that such
an animal will not develop the growth
that the same animal would if properly
sheltered. There is, therefore, a direct
loss. Besides this, the manure Of this
stock is very apt to be entirely wasted.
A waste Of manure, a waste Of food and
= lnck of suitable shelter for stock, are
taxes that no farm can pay and leave O
margin for profit. Animals running out
crowd each other more or less at feeding
time, Tho strong always take advAn-
tage Of the weak and sometimes seriouf
accidents are the result. Few farmers
whose stock is kept unaheltered provide
suitable racks for feeding in the yard.
10 is o great deal easier TO scatter hay
and straw on the frozen ground or in the
corners Of the yard. II too much be
given 10 stock in this wsy II twin be lost,
