Utilizing Straw and Stubble.

In California the waste from the har-
vesting OF grain is allowed To reSced the
land, and a second. or volunteer
crop. is often raised without any plow-
ing or additional seeding. The cold
winters on the Atlantic slope, in most
of the States, would render this sort of
seeding imperative. except in the case
of wheat and rye, which are winter
proof. 1t would, doubtless. surprise
many farmers To know that. by plow-
inc their wheat and rye stubblc in the
autumn. the land would be resecded
with those grains from the waste OF the
harvest. Straw can be turned 10 such
good account for fodder in winter. that
it should be in the best form. There
viii Toe more and better grain by cutting
il rs soon as it begins TO turn white.
and the straw will be in a much more
valuable condition. Farmers should
take pains to secure their grain crops
at this period of growth Straw is
worth much more TO feed than simply
30 throw into the %barnyard To rot tor
manure Fed with a little grain. it will
keep stock in As good condition As, if
not better than. hay alone. and the
manure will be more valuable than
from hay alone.
1t is evident. then. that by harvesting
the straw when in the best possible con
dition. a large amount Of stock may be
kept on the farm, and the farmer can
thus add to the value of the manure
pile; or he may, if he choose, utilize his
improved straw for fodder and sell n
portion of the hay, letting the straw
and some grain take its pace. The day
for burning straw. or letting it 90 to
waste. for the man who has any wis
dom. Is gone by. This fact is more EN-
phatir. because meats of all kinds are
so high and the experience of some
farmers has shown that by good man
agement. as I have indicated. the straw
NAV be turned To a valuable account in
the rearing of animals and in enriching
the farm. This stubble from straw. cut
when full of juices. is worth more for
fertililing the soil, to pillow under. and
it will pay to turn it under as O o rs
can be done, while IL retains It's moist
ure and the juices stored in it. Such
stubble is quite Al important fl tor for
the next crop, whereas an cd and
