Sow A SMALL FIELD TO RYE.-Ever,
one who keeps cattle or poultry should SOW
at least small patch to winter rye every
fall. A few square rods of rye, convenient
to the poultry house, will be great trea,
to the fowls during the mild days of winter
and spring when ordinary green feed is un
obtainable. 1t may be sown as late as the
middle of October for spring use, but if to
be fed in fall and winter the earlier it is
sown after July the better. For cattle, rye
is an excellent crop if fed when it is tender,
man.; make the mistake Of letting it get its
full growth before beginning to cut it.
Every farmer can find place for rye after
early potatoes or corn, or on inverted sod
where the grass is run out. If it required
the summer months for growing we should
value it less, but rye grows when the GROUND
would otherwise be unoccupicd, so that
whatfodder is made is nearly all clear gain

time9as much as can b. used when young
and tender, disappointment may result. Rye,
we'll cured, makes very fair hay, but the
seasou for cutting it is not usually remark
Able for its good hay weather. So do not get
excited over rye for fodder, but be sure aud
put n little for the cattle aud the hens.
Two bushels of seed per acre will give a
good thick growth, but less is sufficient if
to be allowed to ripcn its seed. On hill
sides a crop Of winter rye is useful in
preventing rains from washing the
soil away. The stubble and roots
ploughed under after the crop is removed
also improved the land by filing it with an
abundance of vegetable matter. Fer;liziug
salts are also retained in thu soil, which
otherwise might leach away during the fall
and spring. We should keep our land &C.
cupied by some kind Of crop as much OF
the time as possible. Idle acres always
represent Idle capital, and idle ?ital keeps
many farmers poor.

The wrong Foot.

A little Norwalk boy got silver in
his foot and IL motion to poulliee the
wound made by his mother and
seconded by his grandmother, was
carried in spite nf his objections. He
kicked and screamed and protested
that he would not submit TO any such
indigniy, but the majority against
him was two to one aud the poultice
was made ready. | was ARRANGED that
the grandmolbor should apply the
poultice while the patients mother
stood over him with II stick, with
authority and instructions 10 apply
that also if he made the least show Of
resistance. When all was ready the
youngsior was placed on the bed and
operations began. As the hot poultice
touched the boys foot he opened his
mouth to say something, but his
mothers stick awed hlm into silence.
Again the boy strove to make himsef
heard, aud again the upraised stick
warned him to keep quiet. In short
mlpule the pouItce was firmly in place
and the boy was tucked up in bed,
there to remain until the medicine
had done its work, As the urchln's

and says:
. "They are a subcommittee of tn

seems TO be TO obtain information snt

and If so, whore? If Federal court OF

safety be established in the nation, OF
must they be outside and on the border
In other words, the object OF the com
mission, as the HERALD reporter under
stands it, is what course shall be pur-
sued in the future by the government
