Thistles and Hay.
Cor. Of the Tribune.

Cor. Of the Tribune
Thistles on rich meadow land in
grass may be eradicated in two years
with no direct cost or labor. Every
farmer, whether troubled with this
ties or not, should cut his best and
heaviest grass in June, about the
time it begins To head out (Timothy
grass), and then, in due time, cut the
second crop. This practice followed
two years Ton my land) will kill every
thistle, no matter how thick they may
be, in small patches, even 10 cover
the ground. This is my experience
on my farm; cannot say how it
might be no other farms and under
other circumstances, only as reason
from analogy. | am inclined to
think that all those farmers who
practice cutting the first crop of
grass in June are not troubled with
thistlcs after the second year of NOW
ing. Many farmers will consider
this remedy worse than the disease,
but with me it is not remedy, for |
thus practice, thlstles or no thlstles.
! am aware that most farmers regard
the cutting of two crops of grass
upon the same ground in one season
as very cxhaustlng to the soil, but
reason and experience teach me that
one late crop exhausts the soil more
than two crops, the first of which is
cut in June. Repeated analyses of
green grass indicate its quantity of
nutrition TO be SO per cent, while
that which is cut in bloom contains
G2 per cent, and that cut when ripe
has only 81 per cent. Then cut
early and kill out your thistles, and
thus cut off propagation by the rip.
ening of the seed and, still more,
by this early cutting prevent any
and all weeds from going to seed.

How They Treat Stable Manure at the
Kansas Agricultural College Farm.

by Prof y. NJ. Shelton.
Our barnyard is situated on n
slight slope, and all drainage OF the
hill side is conveyed by bitches
around the yard. We have found by
experience that the rainfall upon the
barnyard, if it can be all retained, is,
with the liquid weddings of the ami
mails, about the quantity Of moisture
needed to keep the manure pile con-
stantly moist. TO retain the mois-
tnre properly the barnyard bottom is
made slightly concave TO prevent any
overflow of its contents. Occasion
ally this does happen, but only during
or after very heavy rains. Into this
concavity, or "basin," as your cores
pondcnt has it, the drains from the
different tiers Of stalls in the barn
empty. Each day the manure from
horse and cattle stalls alike is dump
ed into this depression, where the hogs
turn it over and extract whatever oil
pig feed it contains. But we aim to
feed our pigs so that they have no
temptation TO carry Investigations
beyond the manure thrown out each
day. ! would, on no account, allow
the pigs to constantly turn over the
whole pile. The pig is an expensive
laborer in more senses than one; and
then the manure must be kept com
pact if we would have that slow fer
mentation. during which the ammonia
is held in the pile, in the form of am
monia salts. Our manure pile we
keep low and fiat, and in such Il posi-.
tion that the stock constantly pass
over it, trcading it solid from the
first.

Dominiques.


g. o Brown in American Farmer.
Ny experience has been, that the
American Dominiques are the best
winter laycrs-they are excellent
mothers. Mr.. J. Addison Smith, of
Beulah Farm, Howard Co, Md, who
recently spent some eighteen months
travelling in Europe, visited the Par
is and Belgium Gardens of Acclima-
tion, and saw the choice poultry,
writes me as follows: II am convinc-
ed beyond all peradventure that the
American Dominiques are the best
chickens for farmers They combine
every good quality, are good layersg
the best of mothers, hardy as hawks,
and, like good Berkshire hog, you
can fatten them from the time they
are Matched, and on less food than
any other breed. The cocks are
splendid breeders, take most admirs-
BILE care of their focks. They posi-
bly, may not lay quite as many eggs
as the Leghorn tribe, or make quite
as much meat as the Cochins.
have during the past few years tried
nearly all new breeds and now I've
settled down on a substantial basis,
and propose TO breed for profit
consequently shall confine myself TO
American Dominiques.
am glad to give an opinion that
comedies with mine from such a good
authority.
The Plymouth Rock Fowls are
becoming quite popular, and they
combine many of the qualities of the
Dominiques. Although they are
made breed, produced by crossing
the Dominique on the Black Java,
are now, after years of trial, breeding
quite true. They arc larger than the
Dominique. In plumage the same.
As yet their eggs vary In color.
They are hardy. Thus Il will be seen
all the good traits, or perfection, can
not be found In any one breed of
fowls.

I HAVE been engaged in the fruit

grapery, or among my other small
fruits, and the result is an abundance
of fine berries, when my neighbors'
fail. When gave thorough cultiva-
ton | had for labor, wood. When |
changed TO thorough mulehing ! was
rewarded with an abundance of fine
fruit, and wood enough for all pur-

early spring, with almost anything
that will keep the weeds down. |
