wNr. sARDAM ON HAY.

Editor Nems:-As this winter is using up about all the hay that we have stored mp, I wish to say few wor8s of encour- agement to farmers about raising hay and will, to introduce the subject, give some of my experience.
 Six years ago last September plowed four acres of run out meadow in lands IA paces wide and as the soil was moist and somewhat muckv at the lower end of the lot I had it plowed only one way -up and down. with no end furrows- the same as ridcing. This was done so as not to dam up the surface water and I plowed it deep so that each dead fur TOW was an open drain. The lot lay until we got the planting done and then, without blowing again, narrowed it fine and mellow. .sowed it to snperphosphate of lime on two acres and fish scrap com posted on the other two. narrowed 1t both ways then sowed 1t to Hungarian grass. narrowed one way then sowed on clover seed-the large ind,-harrowed once and then sowed on herds grass and red top. It was then pushed. the loose stone were picked up and thrown into the underdrain.
 I intended to let the seed ripen, but as the seed was in the milk in the fore rart of September-iust the time the reed birds or hobolinks were collectino for their annual. migration-theym made such havoc with the seed that we cut if for hay. If any one had told me that there were SO many birds of that kind in the country would not have believed it possible. I tried for two days at odd times to scare and disturb them so that they would leave. It seemed as though each bird came back with a dozen. We moved the crop it was as large as it could he and stand and was twisted and lodged all over the field. have no means of knowing how many tons of fodder there were, only thought at the time there was as much food for my my stock as the rest of the field pro- duced on fair moving. I fed 1t to all kinds of stock but horses and they preferred it to hay.
 The next year the clover grew heavy and lodged in places. The third year the herds grass was very stout and the winter following I gave 1t top dressing with stable manure. 20 loads to the acre, and spread it as we drew it in February and March the yield this year was good.
 Now I call this some of my best farm ing. I did not miss fodder crop and farmers may take four acres each year and do as I did and follow it up and the result will be a good one. We must blow our mowings. I used George W. Miles phosphate and fish. Hay to be permanent crop wants to grow on moist land I know of no way that pays to keep sandy land in meadow, but any low land that can be plowed in dry seasons can be kept as permanent meadow and grass is the best crop New England can raise.

The debts are about S16.000,000 all told and he thinks the road is worth it's debt and little more.

NEW YORK FANc1ERs' CLUB.
The Exhibition at the Madison Square Garden---An Eddy-fying letter 10
 the News from a Friend.

Imagine all the roosters in Connecti- cut connected by telephone with one central office at growing time and you have an approximation of the sound that greets the ears of the visitor as he steps into the exhibition of the New York Fancirs' club, now being held at Madison Square garden.
 Here are over 1900 exhibits, princi- pally poultry, including chickens, pig cons, turkeys, ducks and geese; in fact domestic fowls of nearly every name and nature are represented by their fin est specimens.
 The first coop to attract attention as one enters. contains two immense capons eight months old, weighing 26 lbs.
 An attempt to describe the fowls would be useless and would occupy too much time and space, but aside from the feathered tribes there were a few exhibits that will perhaps appear to bet ter advantage in description.
 counted 10 different kinds of cats, several of which were valued (by their owners not by the WI er) at $50 d $IO0, one at $500 and one at 5000. The 5000 article was 0 white Persian tom, but his rat capacity did not on the surface appear much ahead of some cats I have seen change hands without the mention of any valuable considera- tion.
 A more satisfactory class of rat catch CTS was represented in a pen of trained ferrets, exhibited by MT Adolph Isaac sen of 92 Fulton street, New York's veteran rat exterminator.
 For P years MT Isaacsen has been literally trough on rats" in New York and vicinity, so that it is said that now a house may often be cleaned of vermin simply by stuffing some of his business cards in the rat notes.-the rats take warning and vacate. He has farm in Ulster county where he breeds 1000 fer rets year, some of which he sells Ut $25 pair) and the others he uses in his business.
 The pure ferrets are lazy so he cross es them with the wild mink and weasel and also the fitch in order to get a more active animal, his best hunters are about mink. These little rat catchers are controlled almost wholly by the stom- ach, for when their appetite is appeased they are inactive; but hungry as they are most of the time, they are sure death to anything their teeth strikes. The pertinacity of their grip was Illustrated by holding piece of tough meat with in their reach, half 8 dozen of them sprang upon it while yet in the air and hung so tightly that they were lifted out of their pen and could not be pulled loose with the hand, but it was necessa- " to cut off the end of the meat to which they hung in order to get rid of them.
 MT Isaacsen in fulfilling his contracts to clear shops and houses of rats, em- ploys about 20 men off and on who can earn from five to seven dollars each for a nights work. The business has prov so profitable that the proprietor says with satisfied smile that he has enough for comfortable living.
 Incubators of several kinds were in l order and attracted good deal of attention, people standing patiently it to see chicken hatch itself |
 Altogether the show was very interest ing and we'll worth seeing. S. A.E
