The Family Cow in Midsummer.

On farms where thee dairy is an i'm
portant part ~ the husbandry, provis-
lon Is made by sowing soiling crops, to
supplement the dmin shed pasturage
In midsummer. Those who keep only
the family COW. y or at most two or
three cows, find the flow OF m Tx to de-
crease, and often without any green
crop Provided for keeping it up The
territory of thosewho Keep but single
cow, is often restricted to small pas
ture and vegetable garden, The gar
den should be made to supplement the
pasture, and this may be done to some
extent by securing for tn COW much
from the garden that usually g6es I'd
waste. Every ono who has garden,
tries to have an abundance of green
peas. After the vines have Welded
their last profitable picking, instead of
allowing them to remain uLon the
ground until that Is wanted for another
crop, feed the vines to the COW
while they are still green and
succu emit. So with sweet corn. When
the last ear is plucked from a stalk or
hill, do not wait until the whole patch
or row can be cleared, but pull up the
stalks that have been deprived OF ears,
q few 1T a t'me, And feed them while
in, their best condition. The outer
leaves of early cabbages, and the leaves
of beets; carrots and turnips, carefully
saved, vii make An important item in
the siicculent food for the cow IT there
is space in the garden. from which an
early crop has been removed, and 1t is
not needed for late garden crop, it
should be rowing something for the
COW. Sweet corn may be sown thlckly
in rows for ''fodde corn and afford
welcome feed. 1t is well to have an
abundance of cabbage plants'of large
late var ETY., and set them out W erever
there is room, and far beyond the needs
of the family. An occasional cabbage
next winter will be treat to the COW.
Experiments made u dozen years ago
with some twenty varieties of the
Southern Cow Pea shovel, incidentally, u
that, even at the North, if they did not
ripen their seeds they would give an
enormous weight of heritage uponaSmall
area. This pea is highly valued
for animals at the South, both fresh and
as hay, and seems to be worth trying in
Northern localities, as soiling plant.
Where there is room, even few luare
yards. it may be well to sow either HIM
gayian grass, or one Of the plants called
millet, for late summer feed for the
COW. If the soil is rich, an abundant
crop may be cut Pesdes summer feed
in the garden, if there is room there or
elsewhere, it is we to think OF Jeru-
salem Artiehokes as winter treat. 1t
is late now for large crop, but with
the tops, which are highly relished. the
