Corn Meal ana Glover Hay.

Says the Mirror md Farmer, corn meal and
good clover hay will be proper combina-
ton of food to produce milk, for corn is rich
in starch and oil, both good for butter and
clover is rich in caseine or cheese, SO that they
possess both the carbonaceous and nitroge-
cous elements in proper balance. But corn
meal is heating food, and must be fed with
good judgment 1t must not be fed alone,
but mixed with portion of heclover hay
which should be cut into short lengths andth
meal should be mixed with twice its bulk of
cut clover, being moistened so that the meal
will adhere to the hay and both be eaten toge-
ther. If the meal is fed with three times its
bulk of cut clover, so much the better. The
meal being mixed with hay, both will go into
the stomach, together, and the meal instead of
being massed in lump or bolus will be dis
tributed throughout the contents of the
stomach, will be raised and re- masticated and
thus not be likely to produce a feverish state
of the system Nicely cured early cut clover
is good single food for milk and corn meal
will add other qualities so as to give some
variety; but these two foods may be improved
by adding other as to give more variety. If
dairymen should grind half oats with two
bushels ofcorn, it would decidedly improve
the ration. Oats are excellent for milk. 1t
will also be an improvement to mix 50pounds
of bran or wheat middlings with 100 pounds
of corn meal. 1t should always be borne in
mind that the greater the variety in the food
of the COW the better.

The Prime of Life.

Between the ages of forty-tive and sixty
man who has properly regulated himself
may be considered in the prime of life. His
matured strength ofconstitution renders him
almost impervious to attacks of disease,
and experience has given soundness to his
Judgment His mind is resolutc, firm and
equal all his functions are in the highest or.
der he assumes mastery over his business I;
builds up competency on the foundation
he has laid in early manhood, and passes
through period of life attended by many
Qualifications. Having gone year or two
over sixty, he arrives at a standstill. But
athwart this is the viaduct called the turn of
life, which, if crossed in safety, leads to the
valley of "old age" round which the river
winds, and then beyond, without boat or
causewav, to effect his passage. The bridge
| is, however constructed offragile material and
| il depends upon how it il is trodden whether it
| bend or break. Gout or apopleXy are also in
the vicinity to waylay the traveller and thrust
| him from the past; but let him grid up his
| oins and provide himself with filter staff,
and he may trudge on in safety and with
perfect composure. To quit metaphor, 1.-THE
| turn of life" is turn either into prolonged
walk or into the grave. The system and
| powers having reached the utmost eX-
pansion, now begin either to close like a
| flower at srset or break down at once.
| One injudcous stimulant, single fatal eX-
citement, may force it beyond its strength,
while careful supply of props and the with
drawl of all that tends to force plant will
sustain it in beauty and vigor until night has
entirely set in.

Preparing the Ground for Wheat.

Whether it be clover sod. stubble ground
OF common fallow, it should be deeply and
thoroughly broken in August or early in Sep
TENDER, and in this breaking the summer crop
on the ground, whether of grass, stubbe or
weeds, should be completely buried and
should not be disturbed by any after cultiva-
ton before the seed is sowed By this maens
we get layer of dccaying vegetable matter
which will send up the gases from its decom-
position in the spring to mellow and enrich
the soil about, and into which the roots of
the crops will penetrate about the time it be-
gins to Joint Iflong manure (by that Imean
unrotted manure) is used, it should be spread
before the ground is broken, SO that it too
may be turned under with the surface crop,
Some farmers double break their falloW, but
in this they lose much of the manurial
value of that which was turned at the first
breaking. After week or ten DAYS from
the breaking heavy roller or clod crusher
should be passed over the surface, and this
may be followed by corn cultivator going
to about the half the depth of the breaking.
When composted or well rotted manures are
used, they should be spread before the cul-
tivator, so that they may be thoroughly mix
ed with the surface soil. Bone dust super
phosphate or land plaster, when not dstri-
buted with the drill, may be sown broadcast
either before or after the cultivator
Following the cultiyator, q level surface of
fine earth should be obtained with the har-
row. This done, and the field is ready
for the drill
In all this we have presumed that either
from natural or by artificial drainage the sub
soil is relieved from the danger of saturation
from the heavy winter and spring rains
There is no certainty ola wheat crop on
ground liable to become saturated in its sub
soil and yet, that clay subsoil, when relieved
from this danger by understandings, is the
best wheat soil we have. If land is well
drained and it is desirable to stimulate it to
greater activity, lime may be used for this
bushels per acre, spread before the breaking
pillow. But we must not forget that lime
fertilizes chiefly by fastening the decay of
vegetable matter in the soil, and therefore it
will demand copious supply of this five
would derive any benefit from the lime.
A considerable diversity OF opinion exists
among wheat farmers as the crop which
should precede wheat Most, however, concur
in giving to clover the preference. Beyond
that however, there is wide divergence
both of opinion and practice. Wheat is ex-
haustive of potash and the phosphates, and
theory is that it should follow crop some which
draws but lightly on these elements of plant
food. OF this class are potatoes, flax, buck
wheat, etc. But all these together added to
the cloverseed will not supply the demand
for wheat ground, so that we are compelled
TO draw on oat stubble corn ground or even
to double the wheat crop on the same
ground, regardless Of the law Of rotation of
crops.-IHdiand Farmer.

he could distinguish the sex in eggs. laugh

when he told me the following secret Eggs
