SOiling.

Where land is valuable and capable of
being easily cultivated the practice of let
ting the cattle roam over a large area Of
moss covered knobs to pick up their living
is coming To be viewed as a waste OF soil
and animal power; and farmers are grad
ually falling into the habit of feeding
their cows at the barn. every day in the
wear. Those who intend adopting this
course should begin now to make arrange
ments for it. Winter rye. sown on rich
soil. will be ready to cut in Nav and June !;
and by the time it is gone. oats and peas.
sown early on land prepared in the fall,
can be used till the first planting Of sweet
corn is ready to cut. After that successive
plautings Of corn make ali easy till frost
comes. when the grass being dried up and
the corn killed something else must be
done. This gap can be filed with barley,
sown late in the summer, on strong land.
Some farmers in this vicinity, as late as
October % were cutting heavy growth
of barley, that was not headed out, for
feed for cows. They say the frost does
not iniure il, and it is good feed for the
production of milk For butter making,
probably little cotton-seed should be
added
Most farmers would make a great i'm
provement in their system OF management
by feeding their cows at the barn. They
could prepare the soil and put in the crop
in the time required to rebuild the old
hedge round hundred-acre pasture They
could cut the fodder and give it to the
cows in the time taken to drive them a
quarter of a mile or so to pasture and
drive them home again. When cutting
lust enough to feed their stock, each day,
they would notice how large a spot of land
il takes to produce it, and learn the differ
ence between rich and poor soil; and be-
tween light and heavy manuring. If
plenty of absorbents were supplied, an
amount of manure could be made that
would astonish most farmers. The ma
nure could all be put on the soil where the
crops grew, and the meal, ted with the
green crops, would make up for what was
taken out in the milk and the soil would
not be as rapidly exhausted.
OF course the silo will come in use to
supply green food tor seven or eight
months in the year, and this plan of pre-
serving food will yet be sImplifled and
brought within the means of all. Then.
if the back pastures are worth fencing for
sheep or young stock, so much more can
be kept.
Changes in farm practice come slowly.

about, but not followed, who, if they once
gave it fair trial. would look back with
wonder on the days when their milch
cows were driven to pasture, worried by
boys and dogs, wasting their droppngs

swamps or grazing on barren knobs and
