Building up a Hay.Stack.

The great point to be secured in
stacking hay is, to keep the center The
highest. II this is done, water can
not penetrate into the stack, but will
find its way to the outside under the
most uniavorable circumstances. II
on the other hand. the center, is hol.
low, the water must drain into
the center and SD ruin the stack.
An excellent way to build a stack
is to set a tall sapling firmly IN
the ground, with foundation
of ialls around it; then begin at
the center. and place the hay about the
pole, gradually spreading until the
edge Of the base is reached. Con.
tinue building up the stack. the high
est in the center around the pole, the
builder standing in the center so as to
tread the hay firmly there. As the
stack settles, the outside sinks more
than the center, and helps to make
the stack better. The top of the stack
is finished BY fastening covering Of
hay to the pole, with hay bands wound
firmly around it. A stack so made
will not leak, and even clover hay may
be safely stacked in this manner, be-
cause the water must make its way to
the outside by the force of gravity,
and escape there by dropping to the
ground clear Of the stack.

Feeding Chickens iof Market.

Much profit is missed by feeding
young chickens too long. The early
broods should no be ready for feeding.
Ii is better to have them already fed,
f.r then the cockerels will be ready for
sale, and the pullets will be so far for
ward as to be ready to begin laying
early in the fall. But if the chickens
have not been fully fed, the cockerels
should be separated now and the old
cocks turned in with them. At any
rate the cocks should be separated
from the hens at once, as they are a
worry and a nuisance to the hens, and
more eggs will be laid without them
than with them. Probably TO more
hens will set, but as the eggs will be
good for two weeks after the separa.
ton, this may be made at once. The
best of the young cockerels should be
selected for use next year, and the rest
should be forced for market and dis
posed of at once. They will bring
more now than at any time later. An
excellent feed for them is corn.meal,
mixed with boiling hot, sweet skinned
milk. This gives the flesh a fine fla.
vor and white and clear appearance,
which adds 10 the market value. The
feeding should not be continued over
two weeks, and if the fowls have had
all they will eat. they will be as fat as
they can be made. Longer feeding
will not add to their weight, as 1t is
apt to produce disease.

Radical Changes Ahead.

The present is not only an age oil
invention in the World OF Industry, it
is also an era of reform and even reso-
luton in political and social circles.
A notable instance of the progress
made by revolutionary ideas among
the so-called higher classes in England
is to be found in the recent conferences
of the great landowners, headed by
the Duke of ARGYLE, to see if some
scheme cannot be devised by which
the great landed estates can be divided
and sold to farmers VINO will cultivate
them after the manner OF French. Bel
gian and American small landed pro-
prietors. The object is the creation of
class of yeomen-men who own their
own land and till 1t for the benefit of
their families. This class, once the
pride ofEngland, have almost wholly
disappeared, and during the last half
century the soil has passed into the
possession Of great landlords who
rem ed farms to tenants; these again
employing laborers who had no per-
sonal interest in the soil, and whose
lot in life was but little superior to the
black slaves in the South before the
Civil War. English political econ
omlsts have long felt that there was
danger to the Empire when the
mass of the people had no stake
in the soil. 1t is admitted that that
country is peculiarly favored where
land ownership is widely distributed.
One of the prime causes of the decay
OF the Roman Empire was that the
land of Italy was owned by few great
proprietors, and the farms we're titled
by slaves. 1t is possible that this
movement among the great landed
proprietors of Great Britain was part
ly inspired by desire to get rid of
some of their farming land, the profits
OF which have fallen off very greatly by
reason ofAmencan competition. Our
wheat can be sold for so low price in
Liverpool that there is no profit in
growing it in England. But, whatever
the reason, change in the ownership
of the soil, if it could be effected in a
large way. would work a wonderful
change for the better in England and
Scotland. In Ireland the Gladstone land
avs are rapidly Transforming tenants
INTO owners ofthe soil they cultivate

Dipping Lambs and Sheep.

Sheep with open aeeces and little
yoke, of whatever breed, need to be
dipped once or twice a year, to des-
troy the ticks. If the ewes have been
afflicted with ticks, these, after shear
ing Will be certain to 60 to the lambs,
which should be attended to at once
If the matter is not already attended to.
For sheep dip, on our own farm We
use crude Carboic Acid and White
Hellebore powder. We have just
dipped fifty lambs. We used a quart
OF crude carbolic acid and two pounds
of White Hellebore in fifty gallons Of
water, and when we were through Dip.
ping, nearly half the dip was still I'M.
used. We put the two pounds of pow.
dered white hellebore in a pail, and
stirred 1t up with a gallon of boiling
water. The carbolic acid was simply
poured into the fifty gallons of water
in the tub. and the gallon of boiling
water and hellebore Poured in, and
the whole we'll stirred together. and
the lambs were dipped in the liquid
In two or three weeks after the first
application, the lambs should be
dipped again. The liquid that is left
from the first dipping can remain il
the tub, and by adding a little more
carbolic acid, he,lebore, and the pro-
per proportion of water, the dip is all
ready, and fifty lambs can be dipped
In half an hour. The crude carbollc
acid costs about seventy-five cents
per gallon, and the white helIebore
powder twenty-five cents per pound.

DispoSing Of Early Potatoes.

1. is the manner of disposing of a
crop which makes the profit in nearly
all cases, but especially is this true in
regard to early potatoes. To get the
best price, these must be in the mar.
ket as soon as possible; a week will
give one an opportunity of disposing
of a whole crop before a competitor
can bring in his produce, and the
prices fall. New potatoes are easily
damaged; the skin slips readily, and
this spoils their appearance, and Of
course their value. The use of con.
venient package for the potatoes, in
which they can be handled and carried
to the consumer, brings them to him
in the incest possible shape. Purchas-
ers like to see neat, clean packages,
and are pleased to know when they
contain full measure. A splint basket
makes an excellent package, but is not
economical of room, and one basket
cannot be set upon another without
rubbing the potatoes. If the baskets
are made square, with straight sides,
they are better. But wooden box is
more durable and convenient. 1t should
be sixteen inches long, thirteen and
one quarter inches wide, and thirteen
inches deep this makes one heaped
bushel when the box Is level full. con-
tanning two thousand seven hundred
and fifty-two cubic inches. Such boxes
lie close together In wagon box and
no space is lost.-American Agrlcul-
turist.

The Buckwheat Crop-Valuable

Buckwheat can be made a profita-
bic crop. if proper care is given to 1t.
This grain is worth at least seventy. five
cents a bushel for feeding, if 1t is
properly fed. 1t is best ground with
corn, as fine as possible, and may be
fed with cut hay or straw moistened
with water. The seed may be sown
early in July. We have found thick
seeding the best. At least one bushel
per acre should be used. 1t pays to
prepare the ground as well for this crop
as for any other, but it is especially
useful for the purpose of breaking up
an old meadow, and preparing it fol-
reseeding. The sod will be we'll rotted
and the soil mellowed and made ready
fer fall grain crop, if this is desired
to be followed by the grass seed the
next summer, No other crop, excep,
peas, SO well mellows the ground a.
buckwheat, and this is precisely the
effect required in reseeding land
Besides this useful purpose, buckwhea,
is valuable for its grain. 1: will easily
produce thirty or forty bushels per acre
if well managed, and bushel of it i.
worth two bushels of oats OF the lighr
sort usually grown. which is largely
husk. The crop, too, is put in al
times and harvested at times con,
venient for the farmery.

The latest improvement in raising
lima beans is to use brush about eight
feet high, stuck like pea brush. instead
ofpoles, as commonly pracliced. Plant
in hills about three feet apart in the
direction of the rows, two or three
plants to the hill, and the rows six or
eight feet from each other. Cut off the
tops of the plants when they get above
the brush, and top all the side shoots
when they are two feet long. The
vines are much better exposed to the
sun and air in this manner, and far
larger crops are said to be matured
than by polling.
