WHEN TO ToP-DREss LANDS
There is a difference of opinion
among good farmers as to the best
time to apply top-dressing to grass
lands We have known some to haul
out the course dressing and put it in
heaps on the land in the fall and
then leave it unspread all winter,
spreading the same in the spring
the result would be so much grass
that it would fall down and rot.
while between there would be but a
slight increase of the crop. We have
tried his method and abandoned it.
Others haul out the dressing on the
grass lands in winter and spread it.
This works better than the other plan.
but is not the best way. We have
found by long experience that the
better way is to put the dressing on
in the fall and spread it, if it be the
stable or barnyard manure; but if
special fertilizer, then in the spring.
In this way we have secured the best
results. In the case of lawns, we
recommend using some coarse dress
ing once in three or four years. In
this way the lawn may be kept in
good condition for many years. We
know that many object 10 the use of
coarse manure on lawns because of
its unsightly appearance, but that is
q small matter, for it is often covered
out Of sight most of the winter.-Er.

SELECTING A HoRsE.-The Turf,
Field and Farm, than which there is
no better authority on the subject,
says that sin buying horse, first
look at his head and eyes for signs
of intelligence, temper, courage and
honesty. Unless horse has brains,
YOU cannot teach him to do anything
we'll. The head is the indicator of
disposition. A square muzzle with
large nostriIs, evidences a large
breathing apparatus and power.
Next, see that he is we'll under the
jowl, with jaw bones broad and wide
apart under the throttle, Breadth
and fullness between the eyes are
always desirable. The eyes should
be full and hazel in color, ears small
and thrown well forward. The horse
that turns his ears back every now
and then is not to be trusted. Avoid
the long legged, stilted animal-al-
ways choosing one with short
straight back and rump, good depth
of chest, fore legs short, hind legs
straight, with low down hook, shor
pastern joints, and round-mulisf
shaped foot.

A GOOD AGRICULTURAL
CREED.

According to the Canada Farmer,
the agriculturalists of Canada met
IN convention and adopted for them
selves the following creed:
We believe in small farms and
thorough cultivation; we believe
that the soil lives to eat as well as
the owner, and ought, therefore, to
be we'll manured we believe in GO
ing to the bottom Of things, and
therefore, deep blowing, and enough
of it, all the better if it be subsoil
pillow; we believe that the fertilizer
of any soil is spirit of industry,
enterprise and intelligence; without
these, lime, gypsum, and guano
would be of little use; we believe in
good fences, good farm houses, good
orchards, and good children enough
to gather the fruit; we believe in a
clean kitchen, neat wife in it, a
clean cupboard, a clean dairy, and a
clean conscience we believe that to
ask a man advice is not STOPPING,
but of much benefit we believe that
to keep place for everything, and
everything in its place, saves many a
step and is pretty sure to lead to
good tools and to keeping them in
order; we believe that kindness to
stock, like good shelter, is saving of
fodder; we believe that it is a good
thing to keep an eye ON experiments
and note all good and bad; we be-
lieve that it is a good rule to sell
grain when it is ready; we believe in
producing the best butter and cheese,
and marketing it when it is ready.

The buildings are in comfortable condition. Those
looking for farms will do well to examine this it

A considerable part of the poor

A considerable part of the poorest
pasture land, says writer in the
Neac England Farmer, might as well
be allowed to revert to forest. An
other large portion, which is well
covered with grass, but is not very
productive, should be enriched by
top-dressing, and another portion
which is run out, and in which the
grass has failed, should be plowed,
enriched and re-seeded with a large
variety of good grasses.
BERKsH1REs AND PoLAND-CHrNAs.-
A writer in the Breeders Gazette
says: '.For some years past | have
been breeding both Berkshires and
Poland hinas, and have often felt
at loss to decide which preferred.
I have just been asked this question,
and it has set me to thinking over the
matter once again. Of course much
depends on the comparative excel
lence of the specimens of each
breed.-One may have good pigs of
one breed and poor ones of the other.
We have, think, good specimens of
each. Our Berkshires are of middle
size and maturing to 400 or APO
pounds. They are neat, smooth and
weigh well for their looks. The best
looking hogs we have are yearling
Berkshire sows. On the other hand,
the Poland China pigs, almost with
out exception, outgrow, outfatten,
and look much better than the Berk-
shire pigs. We have more 'runts'
among the Berkshires, and the filters
are not usually large. Fully ma
tured, I must give my preference to
the Berkshires but / come round to
the conclusion that with rs the Po-
land-China is the more profitable
general purpose hog. | have not
noticed perceptible difference in Vi
tality, except that the Berkshire pigs
do not seem to thrive as well after
weaving, and they are clearly more
active and energetic perhaps too
m UGH so. Either breed is good, but
if compelled TO choose | would take
the Poland-C China on an average"
