FOREST leaves win keep frost out of
cellars more readily than horses manure,
and they are much cleaner. Bank up
with leaves and cover them to keep the
wind from blowing and fowls from
scratching, and the cellar will be well
protected.
THE heavy clay lands of Ohio, under
a proper rotation of crops and the ire
quent turning under OF green clover, are
becoming s!like gardens" as a Western
Reserve writer states in the country
Gentleman. Both clay and sandy lands
need plenty of vegetable matter and,
then they will be all right.
A FARM of $50 acres, near Ravenna;
Ohio, on which clover Is grown as the
chief renovator, this year produced z, 4OO
bushels of wheat, 1900 of corn, 600 OF
potatoes, 800 of oats, and "a large a.
mount of clover seed" The land grows
better every year, although It's grain
crop have been continuous since lSil.
THE wheat product of the United
States for lSSi, as made up by the
Agricultural Department, is 100000, 600
of bushels. against 49S, O00,00 in 1880.
The stock remaining over from last
wear is estimated at 1900, 900 bushels.
The amount needed for flour and seed at
hand is placed at 293, 100000.
A SCOTCH Lord - Strathmore by
name-gave his tenant dinner lately,
and then q speech, in which (the speech)
he stated that in the last dozen years he
had spent 500, 900 for drainage, but had
raised his rents only $1,000. Such a
noIicy in Ireland might be worth trying;
though Irishmen are not ScOtchmen by
q long way.
Ex-GOYERNOR Stanford, of Califor-
mia, has four colts out Ofhis Electioneerer,

BE. J. reports in the Country Gentle
man that in his opinion ten times the
usual amount of rye has been sown dur
ing the fall in Northern Illinois. Spring
barley culture is also becoming an i'm
portant industry in the "blank and
brown soil countries of Illinois. Land
long cropped with corn is found to need
a change, and rye and barley are taking
its place in measure.
AN Episcopalian school i'll which
girls are trained for servants has been
established in New York. We suggest
as the complement of such q school that
the next one be established to train and
educate mistreSses so that they shall
know how to treat servants properly
after they get them. In fact with this
knowledge extensively disseminated
the servant-girl problem would be great
~ simplitied.
SHEEP can be pastured earlier and
later than other stock, and their drop
pings being finer and evenly spread do
the soil much more good. For pastures
too rough to plow sheep are admirably
adopted, and they will improve the land.
The effect of close cropping by them is
much the same as with lawns frequent
" mowed-the grass becomes closely
matted. Sheep products are becoming
more and more in demand.
