1t is found that if rye is grazed so
clesely as not to allow seed to form, its
root will live several years and form q
turf. The root penetrates deeply, and
the leaves while young are greedily
eaten by all kinds of stock.-Cb Chicago
Dealers in wool state that the num-
Der of sheep that are washed before
shearing diminishes every year. The
practice is regarded IS cruel by most
shepherds, and as unsatisfactory to both
sellers and buyers of wool.
-Farmers often make . mistake in
not having corn enough to feed their
hogs before the new corn ripens. A
bushel fed in August and September
will produce as much pork as five pecks
fed in November or as bushel and o
half in cember.-Erchdnge
-Southern Industries gives this good
advice to farmers: ''Stock your farm
to the fullest extent with horses, cattle,
sheep and hogs; raise all the feed possi-
BILE, and you have put your coarse
grain, fodder and straw to the best use
possible in increasing the profits of the
farm"

AN excellent meat sauce, for use at

of chopped onions, one cup and a half
of sugar. half q cup of salt, one pint
and 3 half of vinegar. one teaspoonful
and a half of cloves, the same quantity
of cinnamon, one teaspoonful each of

ions, and pepper are chopped very fine.

If your fowls have been confined
to a yard or run during the summer
months change it If possible. If not,
plough or spade up the old one.
Scatter thickly some corn or other
grain and rake it in so that they will
| have to scratch for it. What they do
not find will sprout and afford green
food for them. Give them all the to-
| matoes that are over ripe or not fit for
market. Throw the rinds of muskmel-
ons and watermelons and the cobs
from which ccrn has been cut for din
ner. Rake up this debris every day OF
two and put it on the compost heap
