/ Sowing Corn FOR FoDDER.-h there
is place in the meadow where the grass
will be very light or if a portion OF new
seeding has failed, the deficiency in the
fodder may be made up by sowing such
spots with corn for fodder for next winter
or feeding green next August or Septem-
Der.
1t is very common mistake in sowing
corn for fodder to use too much seed. II
sown too thick the stalks will be slender,
! with but few leaves and nearly destitute
of saccharine matter In thick sowing we
get bulk in the crop, but il is OF the poor.
est quality. We believe that one bushel
per acre will yield crop of more value
in real nutriment than double the amount
of seed used Probably the best way is to
drill in rows about three feet apart, so
that it may be cultivated by horse labor.
When thus grown the stalks will aid
greatly to the feeding value of the crop
For summer feeding corn should be sown
as early us it will germinale. If grown
for fall feeding it should be sown at inter
walls of about ten days, and seeding may
be continued IN il lite in July. The late
sowings may follow an early crop which
may have been removed, as early poia-
toes, peas. etc.
In sowing corn the common grain drill
may be employed, using only enough
teeth to make the rows the desired dis
lance apaTt.-EJcbInge

TROUBLE IN THE FLoCK.-Mr. J. W.
Dixie has been losing lambs with intlamed
bowels, in connection with too stimulating
feeding of ewes. The flock of twenty
sheep were fed all the clover and redtop
they would eat. and four quarts of Indian
meal made into Cruel daily. The lambs
become dull and refuse hay, stretch, lie
down and rise at frequent intervals, after
two or three days refuse to suck, and die
on the fourth or fifth day. The lambs are
very fat, and lose little flesh during the
Hines. On opening them the only marked
change is very bloodshot condition of the
large intestines. The pasture should be
changed to one containing less clover and
red top, us these are liable, from their
excess of albumnoids, 10 cause fever in
ewes and lambs alike. If the pasture
cannot be withdrawn, as this is always
heating, and is II common cause of losses
of lambs in spring and early summer, it
would further be desirable 10 feed sal pelre
to the ewes at the rae of two and e-hall
ounces daily to flock of twenty The evtc-
uationS should also be carefully watched,
and if found hal d or 80 tied with film of
mucus, Il little castor oil should be given
three ounces for eve or small table
spoonful for lamb. In Il case of II lamb
already sick, the same dose may be given
along with thirty drops of laudanum.-

EARLY Cur HAY.-If We desire gooC
flow of milk next winter and a good per
centage of butter, and it must be remem
bered that there is an increasing demand
for fresh winter butter. due attention mus
be given to the time of cutting the grass
It will be in vain that we attempt to make
lirst-class butter unless we have the bes
kind of hav. iii is desired to OBJ
tain n good supply of butter and of the first
quality, the grass must be cut while it is
grass; it will not do to wait till it ha:
matured its seed. II were better TO cut II
before it blossoms, for then II larger per
centage of butter can be attained, and
then il will have the aroma of June butter
though made in January. This cutting
two crops, if no more is obtained in weight
than when only one crop is harvested, has
decided advantage for it contains larger
percentage of digestible matter, which is
more valuable than that produced from
the older cut hay, because of the large
amount of butter it contains, and of the
essentials for making a first-class article.
. There is little doubt, however, but
that Il larger weight of hay will be obtain
ed where it is cut twice than where it is
cut but once. In dry seasons like the
present the general idea is TO let grass
stand to fill up, particularly if there is an
appearance of rain, and there is no doubt
filling up after rain comes, in June,
and ever later, but that which fills up is
new grass, and while we are waiting for it
the matured grass is becoming every day
of less and less value. The most profitable
way is to cut the first, though light, while
in bloom, and before rather than after, then
cut that which would fill up if waited for,
make first class butter, in place of one.
Orchard and June grass and clover are
coming forward rapidly and will be
ready to cut the first week in June. Wher-
ever these grasses are cultivated they
afford the farmer IN opportunity of getting
his hay while in the best condition, for
where Timothy and redtop are the only
varieties grown, some will, rs Il conse-
quence, be over ripe before it can be cut !;
but when a part of the hay crop consists
of these early grasses they can be secured
before the latter are ready to cut, and so
the farmer can harvest whole crop of
hay, every nart of which will make first
class butter Clover sown with Timothy
and redtop is almost worthless before the
grasses are headed out If it is desired to
secure good pay for butter it would be
better to cut even Timothy and redtop
while the clover is in bloom, than waste
the clover by waiting for the grass

| BUCKwHEAT.-There are few prodlct.
grown upon the farm that are more profit
able than buckwhcat. The labor of cult
waiting and harvesting the crop is less tam
is required for almost any other, while it
will grow on poorer soil than almost any
other; yet its utility is admitted to all.
No one despises buckwheat griddle cakes
on cold morning in winter. Groand
with corn and oats it is very desirable
feed for pigs. For poultry it is one of the
best grains for producing eggs and sur
passed by none excepting refuse eggs.
AS plant for bees it is onl y equaled by
white clover. Buckwheat requires a light,
warm soil, mellow and not over rich, or it
will run too much to straw. 1t is IN ex-
cellent crop for green maturing; in this
respect it is only surpassed by clover. 1t
might be turned under in season TO SOW
winter wheat. rye, or for seeding down.
The time for sowing is from the first to
the fifteenth of July, at the rate of about IA
bushel to the acre. and good yield will
be about twenty-five bushels to the acre,
but it not unfreqently falls as low as fit
teen. The straw makes good bedding,
though it is claimed to be good fodder, but
cattle will not eat it unless it is steamed
and little meal added. Few farmers
having the means of steaming. the feeding
properties Of the straw will be of little
value. There are two varieties, the black
and the silver hull. The latter is pretera

To CURE UNRU1I CLTTLE.-Mr. L. A.
Dew, Gorham, Me-. sends us his method
for curing cattle o. breaking fences. First
he builds his fences. so thoroughly that nc
animal of good breeding and "bringing
up" will even suppose it possible to break
through; and secondly, he feeds his ami.
mails so well that they find it easier and
just as profitable TO remain where he puts
them rs TO break through or jump over his
fences.
He says he bought COW last spring for
a breechy one, and she proved ali she was
bought for. On being turned into a good
pasture, she behaved we'll enough till
about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, when she
broke through into another field. As soon
as she was over the fence he caught
her, led to the stable, and fed her with as
good hav and meal as the barn contained.
The next day she remained in the pasture
till about O'Clock, when the same trick
was played again, followed by the same
treatment on the part Of the owner. The
third day she had her lesson so well learn
ed that she was ready to come to the barn
without being to the trouble of first break
ing fence. And this was the sum of all
special treatment in teaching breechy
COW good manners.
We think it will be found that unruly
animals are almost invariably the most
intelligent ones in a herd, and that they
are easily taught good as we'll as bad be-
havior,if they are only treated in an intel
ligent, reasonable manner by their keepers.
1t is the hungry ill-treated, and sorely
famnta1 animals that ac0uirn hahita of
helping themselves to that which they have
right to think belongs to them. A COW
bred on the farm and fed and treated well
at all times will seldom become unruly.-

SHEEP HUsBANDRY.-Mr. J. r. Dodge
of the census office, has charge of the in
quiry concerning sheep husbandry and
wool growing. Francis A. Walker, the
superintendent of the census, has issued
q very important schedule of inquiry to
be filled out by persons in different dis
tricts who take special interest in this
department of agriculture, and it is to be
hoped that the elaborate questions will be
fully answered. If this is done the de-
partment will be able to furnish one of the
most important works ever published on
any branch of industry. 1t will give an
exact account of the distribution of breeds,
the average live weight of the different
flocks, also the weight of feeces, pasture
feeding, weight of sheep the pastures will
carry through the summer, and how long
the average grazing season continues
what different kinds Of grain and fodder
are used during the Writer, and the differ
eDt kinds of roots; the aggregate cost Of a
winters feed for flock of one hundred
sheep; also the results of'the feeding vane
of different kinds of food lambs and NIT
ton production; the average age and let
weight of sheep killed for mutton is made
a specially; wool shearing, tendencies of
breeding, and a host of minor questions
under the heads mentioned. 1t is to be
hoped that sufficient interest will be mini
tested by all persons engaged in SHEEP
husbandry to make full and complete an
swers to all the questions propounded, and
that the day is not far distant when every
branch of agriculture will furnish answers
as elaborate rs these contemplated. The
census bureau ought to issue rs clear and
comprehensive questions as these cont,in-
ed in the department of sheep husbanlry,
to every other branch of agriculture.-CuL-

DANISH BUTTER The London Groce,
says that Danish butter commands the
highest price in any market in London
during the winter months, because ii is
the best, for the reason that the cows in
Denmark calvc between the months of
November and january, and they and
their produce are much better cared for
than in any other butter producing coun-
try in Europe. The butter is made on
large estates, where are usually kept from
one hundred to two hundred and eighty
COWS, and in some cases even more. 1t is
satisfactory to know that everything
shipped as butter from Denmark is
pure most important fact to dealers.
Denmark exports about ten thousand casks
of butter per week, averaging about eighty
pounds net, out of which, ut present, but
four thousand are sent to London. Butter
is also packed in tins of various sizes, for
export to hot climates. Danish butter
arrives in London once or twice weekly
via the north, and the present dimensions
of this traffic may be understood by the
fact that the goods manager of the Far
rington street station of the Great North
ern railway receives weekly for distribu-
ton in London about sixty tons of Danish
butter in casks.

In locating an apairy it will be well to
remember that hives should never be
placed against houses or old fences, not
only on account of the great depredations
of spiders, ants, ETC., but to allow plenty
of room to stand while working with the
bees. They should never be placed where
cattle or horses constantly pass, for al
times, when honey is scarce, the disagree
able odor provokes an attack, and il
permitted in the same enclosure, the stock
are in great danger Of their lives, should
they overturn stand in grazing or rub
bling against it. No grass or weeds SHOULD
be allowed to grow within two feet of the
entrance of any hive. Much time is los
by bees falling in the grass. They may
become chilled by the rain or dew in coo
weather or before they regain the hives
fall victims to toldS or spiders, and re-
turning queens are liable to fall in tbs
grass and he lost.

SEAsoNABLE HINTs.-For squashes it i,
yet early enough; if they are not planted
before the 10Th of june they will bo in
season; they require to be we'll manfred
not only broadcast but in the hill, ut the
rate of about two shovelfuls each. Paris
green, used the same as for potatoes, will
protect the vines not only from the striped
bug but also from the black bug. The
maggot is also at the roots; against him
we no not appear yet to have discovered a
protection. The object in manuring the
land broadcast is to make it so rich that
the vine when it runs may throw out roots
at the joints and so sustain itself should
the original root be cut of. The most
successful cultivators of squashes always
endeavor to secure this roofing of the
vines at the joints, and by so doing obtain
large crops. Varieties for fall and winter
use are Boston marrow, Hubbard, turban,
and Canada winter crookneck.

SMILAx.-Smilax is an exceedingly
graceful vine, with glossy, green ribbed
leaves, and is now more extensively used
for decorating parlorS, the hair, and for
trimming dresses. With little care, it
can be grown successfully MS II house plant.
The vine does not require full sun, but
will grow well in partially shaded situa
ton. 1t can be trained on IA small thread
across the window or around the pictures.
Grown from both seeds and bulbs. Pot the
bulbs as soon rs received, watering hut
little until you see signs of growth. They
grow very rapidly, and should always
have strings to Irvine on. Give plenty of
fresh air, but be careful and not let direct
draught of cold air blow upon the vines,
as they are very tender when young. Give
them warm place, and they will amply
repay all care.
