The Value of Sods.

Sods are the cream of the soil, containing
the very elements of plant food that make
soil SO productive When properly rotted
this material makes one of the best invigo-
rators to be found for trees, vines, vege-
tables and cereals, and is one of the most
readily and cheaply obtained fertilizers In
USE Sods may be gathered from the fence
corners of titled fields, gathered from the
surface after blowing and narrowing sward
lands, and in many places from the road
side when the highway is undergoing re-
pairs. To utilize sods and secure from
them their best fertilizing effects, they
should be gathered and piled up in some
out-of-the-way place, and the whole covered
with ashes or chip dust, or both, to keep
the grass from growing. A year or two
will be required for them to thoroughly de-
cav unless cut down and shoveled over after
laying long enough for the grass to be en-
tirely killed out. Water should be applied
at intervals, sufficient to keep the pile
moist and prevent dry, moldy rot. The
best way to provide for the wetting down
is to leave the top cupping and apply the
water abundantly there in a dry time. 10
get such a lot of good material in the best
shape for applying to crops we would adj
wise mixing it with good, well-rotted barn
yard manure Say about two loads OF it
to one of manure, then spread it broadcast
on grass and crops of small grain; for corn
or vegetables apply in the hills or drills

Variety in Feeding Fowls.

When fowls run at large they gather a
great many different substances, and also
get sufficient exercise. If they are kept in
confinement the natural system should be
initiated as nearly as possible. So far as
the exercise is concerned, We can induce
them to scratch and work by scattering
lot of cut straw, salt hay or leaves in their
yards in dry weather or in their quarters
when it is storming, and throwing thereon
a handful of grain. But the feeding is
another matter. In the winter they should
have meat at times, and also some green
food. The meat is not easily procured by
farmers remote from slaughter-houses, nor
can fowls get insects even when at liberty
at the present season. Variety, however,
assists us to get partially over the difficulty.
Not only corn and good wheat screenings
should be used, but oats, buckwheat, hay
seed and barley A mess of soft food in
the morning, consisting Of bran, meal,
linseed or conttonseed meal and little
ground bone, is good substitute for meat,
as these substances combined contain phos-
phate, nitrogen, lime and carbon just the
material for eggs. Green food may be fur
nished in the shape of chopped cabbage,
early rye, finely cut clover, stepped onions
and boiled turnips, carrots and potatoes.
The secret is to c1tongc the food as often as
can be conveniently done, as there is more
virtue in variety than in quantity. Feed
early in the morning and late at night, and
when the fowls begin to get too fat it shows
that the food is too carbonaceous, and corn
should then be omitted. When once the
hens begin to lay they will not then fatten
too much, as the eggs cause heavy de
mand for food. During resting spell,
however, with heavy feeding, they soon
become too fat. At all times, however,
they should have enough.-FHm and

PASTURING WHEAT.

AS much. interest is now being taken on
the subject of pasturing wheat, we here
give the experience of a practical farmer
in the state of Ohio, who, in a communi-
cation to one of the papers in that state,
says that in passing the farm of one Of his
neighbors some years ago, he saw one OF
the most beautiful fields of wheat it has
ever been his pleasure to look at. 1t was
almost ready to harvest. Meeting with
the owner of the farm he said to him
''Why, Uncle John, you have the prettiest
and most even field of wheat that [ ever
saw; it is as even as if you had taken a pair
of shears and clipped it off. How does it
come to be so even and REGULAR "Why,"
said he, IL pastured that wheat with my
cattle and sheep when the ground got solid
in the spring, and you now see the effects
of it in the evcnness of the straw and heads.
No high and low stalks, nor long and short
heads, but all even and will ripen together;
but if | had not pastured it some of the
heads would have been higher than others,
and some very short and not so well filled"
The writer then goes on to say that he
concluded to try it for himself, and, after
having done so, was SO well satisfied with
the results that he has been practicing pas
turing his wheat ever since. II am salts
fed" says he, "that the best crops of wheat
| ever raised were those which had been
closely grazcd by sheep in the month Of
March l pasture both fall and spring.
If 1 find my wheat growing too rank in
the fall I put on my sheep and calves; if
not, | put them on in February and March,
and find my wheat not only to ''stooP'
better, but to grow as well and ripen more
evenly, and the straw more uniform In
quality than if it had not been pastured
When wheat comes up spindling, there is
nothing that will so improve it as pastur-
ing it down by sheep in the fall; and in the
spring, should there be any signs of fly, it
will protect the crop from any such injury.
This fall year ago had piece of early
sown wheat that came up NIGEL y and looked
thrifty, but on examining it [ found the
fly in it in abundance. [ Immediately
turned eighty head of sheep upon it and
let them Craze it down close to the ground.
The wheat came on wonderfully in the
spring and made the best crop [ ever
had l pasture my wheat every spring
with ewes having early lambs and consider
it good economy. The cropping shortens
the straw and makes it more stalky with
heavier heads, and the tramping of the
ground is an additional benefit"

The Virginia cow pea is becoming ia
vorite at the North, as it possesses many
advantages to be desired. In recent ex-
periments in New York State it ripened
well and proved to be very valuable for
forage. The pea Cor bean, as it really is)
is very nutritious and wholesome. 1t is
cultivated very nearly like corn.
The United States Veterinary Journal,
Chicago recommends the following as a
remedy for heaves: Powdered rosin, two
ounces tartar emetie, two ounces; Span
ish brown, two ounces, and Cayenne pep
per. two ounces. Mix and give two tea
spoonfuls twice day in soft feed.
Farmers who permit their stock to run
at large in their fields should avoid the use
of barbed wire fence on account Of the dam
GER. Cows are apt to wound themselves
by contact with the barbs. Udders have
been torn open, and in some instances cat
tie have died from laceration.
It is lamentable that so few farms have
a supply Of small fruits. Many farmers
never have berry of their own raising,
while the most hardy fruit, the common
red cherry, is not at all plenty.

Experiments were conducted, last Au-
gust, at the State Agricultural Experiment
Station, Geneva, N. Y, to determine the
best method of destroying the cabbag-
worm. The result is reported in the
Scientific american. The most satlstace
tory remedy, among the whole number
tried, consisted of mixture of half a pound
each of hard soap and kerosene oil in three
gallons of water. This was applied to the
plants, and the next day it was found that
many, if not all the worms were destroyed.
IF the worms reappear, the remedy must
be repeated.

Mr.. Ed Garvin, charged with GAM
bling, plead guilty before Judge
Greer, was fined $500 and sentenced
TO the penitentiary for one year. He
gave bond for $1,000 and appealed the
case to the Supreme Court. The lat
ter will doubtless review the case dur.
ing the ensuing week, and if Judge
Greer's decision is sustained, Garvin s
only chance to keep out of prison is
to secure a pardon from the Governor.
The latter is very liberal hearted, and
has been scattering pardons about
very freely therefore Garvin's chances
are first class, no matter what the
court may decide.
While worshipers at several promis

about l o'clock yesterday afternoon
they were startled by the tones of the

ing whistle, the vessel landing here on
her way up the river at the hour
named. Some people smiled little,
others got mad and still others pro-
nounced it a sacriligious dissertation
Of the Sabbath. The boats officers
kept it up and repeated the dose sew
eral times, thus making mat
tiers worse. If Gabriels trumpet
sounds anything like the Browns
whistle on the judgment day, it is time
sinners were preparing themselves for
their future life.
