To pasture meadows after cutting
the grass for hay and taking it off, to
say the least, is very unwise. 1t is ask
ing too much tribute of the land, and if
continued will necessarily impoverish
it. What is gained in pasture is lost in
hay, and each succeeding year there
will be less hay and less PASTURE

1t has frequently been said, and is
no doubt correct, that six quarts of
skinned milk divided into two feeds,
with one pint of the jelly formed by
boiling well one pound of f1ax-seed in
four quarts of water, added every feed,
will bring on calves well after the first
three weeks of their growth. An ex-
change recommends either warming
the boiled flax-seed or the SKINNED
milk before feeding Boston Post.
Sweet corn is the most important
of all garden vegetables, and takes a
similar place with us to that of peas in

1t does not seems to affect the tendency
of the variety. Peas, on the other
hand, are easily modified by soil and
not by climate. Y. Herald.
ALL the loose bones that accumu-
late on the farm should be saved, not
to sell, but to apply as fertilizers. If
the farmer does not keep sharp watch
peddlers may pick up these stray waits
and take them to cities where they can
sell them at one cent per pound. They
are worth much more than this to burn
and crush to a powder, SO as to spread
on the ground. A better plan is to
break up as fine as possible, and then
leave then to soak several months in
lye from wood ashes until thoroughly
aoftened, when they may easily be
crushed. -Journal of agriculture.

TIE origin Of the expression III won't
do to tie to" was explained to Repstb-
hcon reporter yesterday. and the story
may be of interest at this time when
shere 10 prospect of its being used ex-
tensively before November in copnec-
tion with political tickets and candi-
dates.
About thirty-ive years ago, according
20 the reporters informant, Captain
Swan, now resident of this city, and
pm octogenarian, was coming up on his
boat from New Orleans to st. Louis.
When near the mouth of the Red River
the captain decided to run ashore and
tie up for the night. The mate ordered
p plank to be thrown out where dark
object, supposed to be a stump, seemed
to offer a good opportunity to tie up. A
man was ordered out to the end of the
plank and commenced winding the rope
around the object to secure the boat,
when huge paw struck him, almost
knocking him into the river, and tear
ing great rent in his clothes. The
supposed stump proved to be a bear
who sat on his launches watching the
boat, while the light blinded his eyes.
The man scrambled for dear life and
succeeded in regaining the boat, when
he exclaimed that's mighty good
place to land, but that bear ain a good
thing to tie to."-The 81. Louis Repub-

Amount OF Grass Seed Per Acre.

see in some of the papers lately a
writer claiming that farmers do not SOW
enough grass seed per acre, and says
in substance that this fact accounts for
their failure in raising good crop of
grass. He claims that two bushels of
timothy seed per acre is not too much,
and that peck or half bushel is not
enough Now, what has led this writer
to such ideas or conclusions | do not
know, but l do not hesitate to pro-
nounce them unsound. When | was a
young man, and just beginning farm
ing for myself, one of my neighbors,
an older man than myself, told me he
used half bushel of timothy seed per
acre, and thought that about right. 1
sowed this amount one year and OBJ
served that my grass crop was not as
heavy as had grown before from less
seed to the acre. The grass grew too
thick to attain proper height. In
other words it was too thick to thrive.
The next year sowed only peck per
acre, and had better results; but | was
satisfied had sowed too much still to
secure the best returns. / reduced the
quantity till came down to two quarts
L
to four quarts per acre is enough, if
put in SO it can grow. do not throw
lit on the ground and leave it to cover
itself, or wait for the rain to do that. l
cover it as l would any other seed that
i wish to grow Now, farmers, let us
look at this matter a little. How
many seeds to the square foot would
you wish to have grow SO that each
stalk may have room to grow and
thrive? Could more than one seed to
the square inch do wellp l think IA
seeds to one square foot is as heavy
seeding as is desirable for the best re-
suits. / have seen timothy seed come
so thick that none of it ever grew six
inches high; it just choked one another
out. Now, how much seed must be
used to furnish one seed to the square
inch? A little calculation will answer
this better than | can answer it in any
other way. BY actual count the scru-
pie weight of timothy seed contains
5000 seeds; one ounce, $1,000 seeds;
one pound, 1928, 800 seeds; one bushels,
55, 296, 900 seeds. One acre contains
100 square rods, or $500 square feet,
or 6, 272, $40 inches. From the above
you see that one bushel of seed to the
acre would be eight and eight-tenths
seeds to the inch; of course two bushels
would furnish twice as many, or 17.6
seeds to the inch. Who wants seven
teen or eighteen seeds to one square
inch? What folly! What waste of
seed! This is, in my opinion, profit
eacy. From the above we see that one
quart of seed has l, 728,000 seeds, three
quarts, 5,184,O0 seeds. So that 3.63
quarts of timothy seed will make just
seed enough for one acre, sowing
one seed to the square inch.-Ohio

How to Handle a Gun.

The first thing you do when you GO
hunting with another boy is to guard
yourself against accident. The best
way to do this is to shoot the other boy
before he has time to load his gun.
Then take both guns to the nearest
creek and throw them in. Throw the
powder and shot in after them. If you
have any matches about your clothes,
throw them in also. Then start at
once and go home as fast as ever you
can. And if you are under eighteen
years young, the chances are, even
with these precautions, that you will get
both legs and a section of YOUR back
filled to the brim with bird shot before
you reach home"

l am not here to advance ingenious
theories, but merely to state cold facts,
and | know it to be solemn truth that
boy, with single-barrel gun twice
as long as himself, can manage some
how to shoot himself in more places at
once than a man can do with seven
shooter revolver. And am / going to

French Farmers and Salt.

Salt is a commodity next to a neces-
sity for French farmers; yet it is so
heavily taxed, surrounded with so many
irritating conditions, as to limit its en-
ploy. You cannot cart barrel of sea
water to your home without permission
of the authorities. You would be sus-
pected of wanting to cheat the revenue
perhaps by manufacturing your own
salt. The tax brings in over 3,000,O 900
francs annually to the exchequer; bet
ter reduce that and make up the de-
ticiency on drink licenses. Mixed with
lime, salt is beneficial for all crops. 1t
is generally applied at the rate of three
to four hundred weights per acre, and
is most efficacious, according to Bous-
singault, when mixed with two-thirds
of its weight of lime or mari. Salt
exercises a most favorable influence on
Reformation of the ear of wheat, bar
10y and oats, and adds to the weight
of the grain itself. In the case of po
tatoes, the action is marked, the soda
replacing the potash in that plant; but
lit is in COLA that salt tells with most
benefit. For feeding mangels, salt is
excellent, but it is detrimental when
beet is cultivated for sugar. It was
Davy first directed attention to the
value of salt in the agricultural point
of view. 1t augments the appetite of
stock, and enables the latter to consume
acid or inferior heritage. The famous
pres sales sheep, that command the
highest price with the butcher, are fed
on the salt marshes of Lower Normandy,
And the coast of Charente .Inferieure
Mixed with guano and urine, salt pre-
vents the escape of ammoniacal fumes.
M. Velter concluded the ultimate action
of salt was to convert organic matter
into nitrate of soda. In any case, be-
fore employing salt, the nature Of the
soil ought to be carefully studied. -

Extremes in Idaho.

On the sand plains down by Haw-
thorne it is so hot that mercury boils in
the Thermometers unless the bulb is
kept wrapped in wet sponge. A dipper
of water thrown up into the air evapo-
rates before reaching the ground. The
only living creatures seen about Walker
Lane are the pelicans, and in flying
from one shore to the other during the
middle of the day they are obliged to
descend two or three times and fill their
pouches with water. The sand at the
bottom of the lake gets so hot during
the day that bathers going into the
water of evenings are obliged to wear
boots to prevent burning their feet.

Just as its comes from the mill; it does
not warp in drying nor shrink OF swell

slowly and when on fire is easily extin-
guished, because the wood contains no
resin. 1t is brittle and breaks off square
ly, so that in case of fire the firemen
have no difficulty in cutting their way
from house to house, and it does not rot

thirty years ale as sound to-day as when
they were planted. The redwood
