Sowing Seeds.

Joseph Harris Of Rochester. in bis new
seed catalogue, gives his Young customers
some good directions about sowing garden
seeds. He says they should be covered on
ly deep enough to keep moist, and that
small seeds such as lettuce. radish, Drum
mond phlox, aster, yerbena and pausy. need
not be covered deeper than sheet of writ
ing paper is thick. If pressed into the
soil and kept moist, they need not be cover
ed at all. Petuuia seeds are easily covered
so deep that they will not grow, while
peas will grow ii covered two or three inches
deep. We may add to the above that for
outdoor planting it Is a good rule to cover
seed, TO depth Of three to five times their
diameter and no more. so that large seeds
like corn and peas will be many times deep
er than the minute seeds of the portulaca
All must have the three requisites of
warmth, moisture and air, (but not lightJ
and if buried too deep the air will be ex-
cluded. Peter Henderson finds great
benefit in covering the seed, after pressing it
in Ice soil, with thin coat of finely pull
verified moss, evenly sifted on, and watered
with fine rose.-C0UntTy GeatiemdR

NEURALGIA AS A "WARNING. One of
the London medical journals declares that
the great prevalence of neuralgia-or what
commonly goes by that name-should be
regarded as warning indicative of a low
condition of health, which must necessarily
render its subjects peculiarly susceptible to
the invasion of diseases of an aggressive
type. 1t is always essential that the vital
forces should be vigorous, and the nerve
power, in especial, in full development but
neuralgia indicates low or depressed state
of vitality-a poor and weak state-and
should be promptly placed under treat
ment.

Leaves for Bedding.

In the scarcity oi rye straw. and the alb
sence Of saw-dust, and other material for
bedding cattle, we have been forced to use
forest leaves to keep the horse and COW in O
clean condition, and on the whole are much
pleased with them. The gathering was
rom the road side, and along the walls,
where brush and leaves had accumulated
for years. A few basketfuls were put under
the animals every morning, aud kept there
until they we're well saturated with the
urine, and then thrown out into the ma
nure heap. With plenty of this material,
kept dry under shed, and used abundant
ly, there is very little less of liquid manure.
As an absorbent, il is much more effective
than we expected to find it. Leaves have
II high reputation as a material for the hot
bed and the compost heap, and are worth
the labor Of gathering, in most cases for Their
ertilizing properties. Cords Of them are
going to decay in the sight OF almost every
rural home, and il is the rare exception
that they are utilized. Meanwhile the
fields ard gardens are lamished for want o
manure, or supplied with concentrated fer.

FARMERS COLUMN.
Late sOwn Rye for Spring Fodder.

| Late bOWn rye tor spring touder'
There are differences Of opinion as to the
value Of late sown rye as a crop for early
spring feeding. These differences are al
most entirely due to the circumstances Of
soil and senson Should the sell be poor
the rye crop, like any other, will be poor,
and should the season close in with hard
freezing soon after sowing, the plants will
mt have made sufficient roots TO save them
from injury. If, on the other hand, tho
soil is rich and mellew, aud the sowing
iJ d me So early that strong, well rooted
plants may Iorm, then a profitable crop
may be expected. The writer has seen m, st
satisfactory results obtained by powing un
der a sod-previously well manured--in late
autumn, and the ground sown to rye. In
the spring this field yielded heavy growth
of fine green fodder, which was used to feed
u flock Of sheep and other small stock. Af-
! ter this pasturage was over the rye stub
'le" was turned under with heavy coa I
OF manure, and the field planted to corn In
this case the rye was what is termed a
stolen crop, put N between the old meddow
and the corn. Instead Of the land lying
idle from the time the grass was cut until
plowed for corn, there had been an extra
manuring, blowing, and a fodder crop.
Some portion Of the field was clay and the
additional tillase had good effect upon the
m ,chancal conditions of the soil. The
green crop thus produced came in at just
that time in the spring when supply of
fodder of this kind is of special valuo-the
pastures not having fully started and the
stored food limited in quantity, and high in
! price. AgricuitUrja

Win it Pay TO Steam Tod6er I

Take the word fodder in its broadesi
sense, as any kind of food for graminivor-
aus. animals, we may say that it will always
pay to steanr cook feed for swine and rf.
ten for cows in stables containing 25 head
nr mose, while for sheep and horses it will
he Of doubtful expediency, and usually not
advisable under any circumstances The
cooking of Iced for iattening swine is so i'm
portant as matter Of economy, that it will
pay, even though done with little regard to
the saving OF labor and fuel. On the other
hand, to cook the feed for neat cattle with
profit, not only should there be animals
enough to make it pay, but the rations
should be 81 carefully planned, that by
mngling of palata5le, with less relished
aud coarse fodder, saving may be affected
IN that way. Besides the object for which
he cattle are kept, is an important factor TO
bS considered in the feeding
The flow Of milk is increased by steam
ng the fudder-the color of the butter is,
however, injured. The same ration will
prove more fattening, while, at the same
lime, there will be little or no waste, il the
+ielming is well managed. 1t is best to
have the steamed ration composed Of va.
riety OF feed, such as corn fodder, roots, hay
or oat straw, with bran and corn meal, or
cotton seed, or llnseed cake, or meal. The
bstitution of one kind of fodder or meal
tor another, gives variety and relish. The
coarse fodder is cooked soft, aud the flavor
IF the rooIs and of he meal prevndcs the
mass. 1t is not likely that any of the small
agricultural steamers can be made to cook
economically, the food for us many as 25 oi

al horse power is employed to do othG
work, as pumping, threshing, saving wood
