Acres of SunROwers.

Very many of the spring chickens sold
in New York city are raised on sun
flower seed. At many points in New
Jersey there are chicken farms where
chickens are raised by the thousand.
Many receive their first start in life from
the incubator, and when large enough
are put on a diet of sunfower seeds.
The chickens are very fond of the seeds,
which are full of oil, and very fattening
The sunfower gives little trouble to the
farmer, as it is hardy plant and grows
without cultivation. Some farmers plant
three and four acres of sunfowers, and
such fields have a surprisingly gaudy ap-

Gresn croppInr for Fall sh,sp.

Our farmers could very proftably
borrow from their English cousins
some system of green corn cropping
and feeding on the ground of such
fields as are intended for the fallow.
The thick growth of the feeding plant
would smother and prevent all weed
growth, and the eating off of such a
heavy growth by sheep would, while
fattening the latter, greatly enrich
the ground, and especially so if with
the green crop the sheep were given
daily feed of grain or oil meal. For
this purpose the fields should be plowed
early, thoroughly cultivated and sowed
to some such crop as mustard, rape or
spring vetches, or If sown at intervals,
possibly oats and peas would make a
good crop. When the crop has made
suitable growth, the sheep should be
put on one side of the field, and SO
kept as to eat the crop clean as they

He was Disguised.

A member of Congress, who was a
cavalry officer during the war, visited
the new Pension building the other day
for the first time and had to be taken
away in an ambulance. He is said to
have made the discovery that every
cavalryman in the terra Gotta bas-relief
frieze around the building is holding the
horses reins in the right instead of the left
hand. The patriotic Congressman was
so overcome by the discovery that a
Congressional inquiry will be the only
means of relieving his distress. He SAYS
man who don't know better than to
hold bride in the ri yht hand or sword
arm, shouldn't be allowed to draw
pension, to say nothing of drawing a
pension.
