Why Snow ut Great Attitudes Does Not
Melt. Pa.


Mr.. James Croll, the author of Climate
and Time, gives in Nature his views as
to the influence of aqueous vapor on
the melting point of snow. He says:
The reason why snow Mt great eleva-
ton does not melt but remains perma-
'nent, is owing to the fact that tho heat
received from the sun is thrown off into
stellar space 30 rapidly by radiation and
reflection tina" the sun fails to raise the
temperature Of the snow to the melting
point; the snow evaporates, but it does
not melt. The SUBMITS of the Himalyas,
for example, must receive more than ten
times the amount of heat necessary to
melt all the snow that falls on them,
notwithstanding which tho snow is not
melted. And in spite of the strength of
the sun and the dryness of the air at
those attitudes, evaporation il INSULT
cient to remove the snow. At low eleva-
tions, where the snowfall is probably
greater and the amount of heat even less
than ut the SUBMITS, the snow melts and
disappears. This, 1 believe, we must at
tribute to the influence of aqueous vapor.
AT high elevations the mir is dry and al
lows the heat radiated from the snow to
pass into space; but at low elevations
very considerable amount of the heat
radiated from the snow is absorbed in
passing through the atmosphere. Aeon
siderable portion of the heat thus absorb
ed by the vapor is radiated back on the
snow, but the heat thus radiated being
OF the same quality as that which the
snow itself radiates is on this account
absorbed by thes Little or none it
is reflected like that received from the
SIN. The consequence Is that the heat
thus absorbed accumulates in the snow
till melting takes place. We're the
amount ofaqueous vapor possessed by the
atmosphere sufficiently diminished, per-
petual snow would cover our globe down
to the sen shore 1t is true that the air
is warmer at the lower level than at the
higher level, and by contact with the
snow must tend to melt it more at the
hitter position. But we must remember
that the air is warmer mainly in conse-
quence Of the inference of aqueo,'s vapor,
and that were the quantity of vapor re-
duced to the amount in question the diff
ference Of temperature at the two posi-
tions would not be great.

Late Cut Hay.

Prof. Emil Wolfe, of Germany, an
eminent scientific authority, declares az
the result of thirteen analyses of hay cut
before blooming, in bloom, and after
blooming, that in the first case it will
contain 80 per cent. of nutritive ele-
ments; IN the second 62 per cent. /; and in
the third only 81 per cent. Prof. J. w.
Sanborn, of the New Hampshire Agri-
cultural college, has been putting the
matter to a practical test, by six expert
ments in feeding hay cut as above, and
carefully noting the results. His conclu.
siOns do not agree with those of Prof.
Wolfe, nor indeed with his own previous
opinions on the subject. He says: This
is the end of the sixth trial and all point
in one direction. Is it all an accident,
this uniformity of result? / am con-
WINGED, against my previous judgment,
that the doctrines in vogue in favor Of
early cutting hay have been carried to q
great excess, and that it is probably true
that hay had better be cut ut some
period, not determined, after bloom.

proven that it is more nutritious, then,

stock. Hay ana Grain.

A correspondent Of the Country Gen
deman writes: Everywhere this year
farmers are troubled for barn room. The
bulk of straw Oh oil grain is unusually
large, and the acreage of grain every
year is much greater than formerly. But
It does not follow that more barns must
be built. We need barns for shelter of
tools, wagons and live stock. They
should at least always have basin nine
feet deep, part of which in emergencies,
car be used for the storing of hay, but
beyond this we must rely on stacking.
Not one in ten of our farmers can build q
first-class stack, and as for matching, az
it is done in England, it is absolutely
unknown. Yet the entire grain crop Of
Europe is saved in stack, and most of it
till winter, in climate far worse than
ours. 1t is not altogether want of skill
that prevents good stacking in this
country, but We have too little help. I
never yet saw O steam-thresher where
the men ut times were not compelled to
overwork 10 keep it well fed. OF course
If help is shortened anywhere it is ON the
stack. To get the grain out of the straw
at the rate of one or two bushels per
minute, is oil that is thought of. Two
men on the stack are generally thought
enough-an Englishman to make the
stack, and stout German to standk be-
hind the straw carrier and pitch it to
him. There il no possibility of packing
the straw, even OH a small stack. On a
large stack, three men are allowed if they
can be spared from the NOW, but these
are too few. A misshapen stack is iney-
itably the result. ut all goes into
manure" and the idea has been with
many farmers that if the stack can be
rotted down, it will make as good manure
as anything. We are learning better
now by theuse of commercial fertilizers,
which, with two or three hundred pounds
per acre, supply the active fertility in IL
good many loads of manure. Besides,
We must learn to use more straw as feed.
This is especially true now when hay is
scarce. The trouble in stacking grain is
the same lack of help. 1t is hard to get
men enough III harvest time to draw
with two teams. Grain stacks should
not be larger than can be completed in
one day. Two men will be enough, and
one of these should be O good stacker.
Keeping the centre full, and the corners
and sides well tramped and sloping up
ward to the storms. Threshing is done
so soon that there is comparatively little
less in well-made stacks. The horse hay
forks bring the hay in huge masses, fa-
vorable indeed for hurrying work, but
not tor making stack to shed rain.
Our grain needs to stand out SO little
time before threshing that it need be
housed only in stack. 1t is more i'm
portant to get hay in the barn, not only
for convenience in feeding, but because
there must be losses even in the best
built hay stacks, from cutting down dur
ing the storms in winter.

A Monroe county correspondent of the
Country Gentleman says: "Where
cows chew old bones it shows that their
food is deficient in phosphates, This Of
ten happens on land that has been long
cropped, or where milk or cheese has
been sold from the farm, Butter does
not remove the ,phosphates, as it is only
carbon, while the more valual le portions
of the milk, so far az fertility il concern
ed, are left in the buttermilk and fed to
the pigs. Cows show the lack of phos-
pilates in the soil quicker than other an
imals, because they need 80 much in
their food to form milk. Feeding bones,
either crude or in meal, is only q temper
airy relief. The true way is TO feed the
crops; give them their fine share of phos-
plate manures, and the evil complained
of will cease. 1t is not generally known
how largely the composition Of forage
plants is affected by the richness or pow
erty of the soil on which they are grown.
Novice will notice, if he applies phos-
pilates to part of his fields, that cattle
OF all kinds win eat down the grass much
more closely there than elsewhere. This
indicates that the fortified land produces
n richer and stronger grassthan the other
can supply. In grains, the lack of phos-
pilates is shown IN IN undue proportion
Of straw, and ! think, also, often in an
inferior shrunken grain.

Harley a. a Latc soiliux Crop.


The farmer who has the greatest variety
of late pasture and green fodder during
the fall and early winter will gain the
best results from his cattle and with the
least expenditure of money. This is en-
pecially true when hay crops are short.
The plan Of extending the season of
feeding green food into November by
sowing barley has been experimental
with, and successfully, too, by not few
of our northern farmers in past seasons.
Some make successive sowings, so as to
make succession of feeding, putting in
the first seed in July and the last as late
sometimes as the beginning Of Septem-
Der. When there is enough moisture in
the ground at the time specified to
sprout the seed, the plan is advised, e.
pecially where staple crops are short and
other provisions have not been made for
supplying stock with late pasture aud
green fodder. The quantity of seed
sown to the acre depends ON the soil,
also whether it is put in with n drill or
sown broadcast. On rich lands, sown
broadcast, from two to two and q half
bushels is the rule. More is required on
thin lands. With drill less seed is
needed.-Ne,o York World.

these famous quarterlies is well
known, and both in the selection OIL
subjects and in the manner of treat.

In the Edinburgh We particularly
note the article on "Ritualistic Liter.

make manifest that the doctrines and
practices OF the ritualists are alien
from the spirit of Protestantism.
"Bigelow's Life of Benjamin Frank-
lin" is favorably reviewed, and Mr..
Bigelow ia commended for presenting
Frapklin's autobiography in the
exact .hspe in which it issued from
the authors memory. There is n
interesting article on 'Mohammed-
snism in China" indicating the pos
sibiIity OF the conversion of the people
of China to the creed OF Mohsmmed.
Other notoble articles are "Catnolic
Rule in Ireland, 1641-48," Modern
