PaSturing Meadows in Autumn.
From the Practical Farmer.

There is a strong temptation to past
ure meadows In the fall, particularly If
there is a luxurious growth of aftermath.
Animals intended for the butcher, or
those usually thin, would thrive so nicely
upon this rich, juicy grass, save large
amount of grain, and thus Increase his
profits, thinks the farmer. A superficial
reasoning seems to establish this theory
But the gain is not as great as he sup
poses. The I'M Jury to the meadow will
become apparent the next haying season.
If the meadow is to be broken up the fol-
lowing spring, then pasture as long as
the stock can maintain itself in thriving
condition. The drOppings will cOmpen-
safe the soil for the elements removed in
the grass, particularly if the stock is ma
ture and fed daily a ration of grain.
But meadows from which crop of hay
is to be removed the following season are
seriously injured by close cropping. The
injury is most mechanical. If the fall
season is wet one the soil is soft, and
every step packs the ground, makes the
surface uneven by indenting it beneath
the hoof, and elevating that surrounding
it. The roots are broken and exposed to
the sun, and much of the grass pulled up
by the roots. Grass, like wheat, is better
by having a good protection from the
biting frosts and keen blasts of winter.
A liberal growth of aftermath will fur
nish this protection and keep the roots
in a vigorous condition. The first warm
days in spring will start them in action,
whereas if the ground is bare late in the
fall, it will be weeks before any signs of
life appear, and before the grass becomes
matted and high enough to prevent the
evaporation of moisture the sun has bak-
ed the ground to almost the hardness of
brick, after which there is but little is
any growth.

Bushes and Weeds on the Farm.
Country Gentlemen.


1t seems a very strange thing that our
farmers should allow so many bushes,
shrubs and weeds to be growing along
on public highways and in other conspic-
uous places on their farms. What a bad
effect it has on the appearance of mans
farm! So small an expense would be
required in removing them all! Can it be
that some farmers want their farms to
revert to wilds? They all the time receive
no profit from them, but they have to pay
taxes on them. / can not see why it is
that farmers sometimes increase the &C
reage of their land. They do not see the
extent of land which might, with large
profits, be brought under control, and
produce more on a small area with less
labor, and without extra taxes and costs.
Farmers are careless, and try to do a
great deal without doing it well. If they
had only considered it in time they would
have been the first to exclaim against the
folly of refraining from doing a thing
which could be done so easily, and which
was of so much Importance.
All will agree with me when I say that
if the highway is simply moved every
year clear up to the fence, no weeds will
grow there as a general thing, but no
3
place, and cause as beneficial a supply as
any part of the farm. Everyone knows
to well for me to express it, that weeds
and bushes can not live where they are
regularly moved each year. Every one
who has any sense of propriety will be
struck with the folly of so moving a field
that when the central part is cut for
harvest, a streak will be left along the
fence which is not moved. Let me say to
every farmer who has not moWn up to
his fences fully this year, or who has
bushes and coarse weeds growing along
them, which are in consequence of that
space not having been mown in years
back, to do so this year; NOW every one
Of those weeds and bushes, and do not
fail to do this every year, and in a few
years he will have no bushes along his
fences, and every inch of his farm will
pay and look better.
At the time of haying is the proper
season of the year to cut these coarse
weeds and bushes, and if cut every year
at this time they are sure to be killed. All
the larger bushes and shrubs are gener-
ally destroyed by being cut at this time
though very persistent in growth if cut at
any other time of the year; moving them
now generally kills or reduces their vital
1ty to the lowest point. Cutting these
bushes at this time of the year, and then
If they start up at all, throw some dry
weeds or bushes on their stubs, setting
fire to them when the new sprouts have
made their appearance, has generally
ample effect to destroy them. In this
way, with small labor, the farm will be
freed of its inconvenience, and the clear
ed fields and woodlands will stand
separate and in their proper places.

In gerSOll on Music.

Colonel Ingersol thinks that we have
made great progress in music in this
country, and declares that we are coming
to an era in music which appeals to the in
tellect. He is pretty severe uopn the dra-
matte and musical critics of New York,
and says there is no genuine musical crit
icism to be found there. In talking about
the drama he declared his admiration for
men of intellect to lead him first of all to
pay homage to Shakespeare, whom he re-
CARDS as the most wonderful delineator
of human passions the world has ever
known. Speaking of music he said: "The
first form of music is that which appeals
to the heels. 1t is merely regularity of
sound. AS it is lower or higher in tone
or quicker or faster in movement it APP
peals. to the senses in a greater or lesser
degree.
''Then there is music of association.
Persons learn to associatiate national
air with their feelings of patriotism. A
man may like tune because his mother
sang it or because he heard it in the old
home days. But there is a higher music
than all this which appeals to the great
intellectual force in man, by which they
are led to forget themselves and all the
surroundings, and are carried away to
realms of thought from which they
would be glad never to return. This is
the best music of all, and the music in
which they are making great progress
in this country more rapidly than in any
country on the face of the globe"

FARM NOTES.

The new wheat crop is estimated as
high as 450,000,0OO bushels.
A few tubs of poor butter in an invoice
bring the average price down below the
line of profit.
Thorough cultivation of corn and po-
tatoes often repeated will be found sure
protection against drought.
1t is claimed that the worlds supply of
wheat is shorter than the average, and
that prices will be higher.
Peppermint which is considered weed
is utilized in some sections, the oil there,
from selling at $3.50 per bottle.
Collect all the windfall apples and
cook them for the stock and you
will greatly lessen the crop of codling
moths next season.
An Illinois farmer threshed 1000 bush
els of oats from twenty seven acres,
while a neighbor secured sixty bushels
per acre.
AS soon as the ears have been taken
from the sweet corn the stalks should be
cut up and fed to the COWS in as green
condition as possible.
Even Australian wool-growers have
trouble. South America is becoming a
strong rival in wool production, and the
Australians are seeking new markets in
China and Japan.
The milk coming from COWS fed on wet
swampy lands, wild grasses and unwhole-
some water will make poor, spongy cheese
of offensive odor and flavor and difficult
to cook or keep.
Nearly all plants require more water
when in bloom than at any other time;
they require more in warm temperature
than in a cold; more when in state of
active growth than when at rest.
The crop of Catawba grapes in New
York State promises we'll if the frosts do
not put in an appearance early. The
grape rot prevails in many sections this
season owing to the wet spring and sum-
mer.
century plant at Auburn, New York,
is thirty feet high and the stem is six in
ches thick at the base. It has thirty two
Towering branches, with over 5000 buds
and flowers. 1t is about sixty years
old.
1t is stated that the New York dairy
men are favorable to the subs titution of
sheep for COWS, believing that in produc-
ing choice mutton and lamb they will de-
rive larger profits than from milk.
Keep the garden in good order until
the end of the season. Many start well,
but late in the summer their gardens look
unsightly.
Throw little straw under the tomato
vines, to keep the fruit clean and ground
moist, making much finer fruit and con-
tinuing it longer.
Budding is in season whenever manur-
ed buds may be had and the stock is in
proper condition; that is, the bark parts
readily frem the wood.
Do not feed breeding sows very largely
on grain. They may be kept in good
condition, but it should be done by more
bulky or partially green food.
1t has been proven over and over again
that little land well titled is more profit
able than an extended area neglected and
improperly cared for.
When away from home keep your eyes
open to see how much other farmers may
be in advance or in the rear of you in
matters pertaining to farming.

Locating an Apiary.
Beekeepero' Magazine.

A New York state correspondent holds
that it is generally a poor location for
Bookkeeping where bees have to go east
ward for pasturage, as nine out of ten of
our thunder storms are from the west and
where the bees are out a mile and the
storm comes up quickly it usually meets
the heavily-laden workers before they
reach the hive and many are thus destroy
ed. In some instances where bees go
eastward for their supplies and are caught
in storm late in the day, which is fol-
lowed by cold evening and night and
the next day be wet, it is believed that
one-eighth, if not more, of the bees in a
colony perish.
The correspondent thinks this is one of
the greatest of all drawbacks in bee
keeping, and one which is scarcely ever
taken into account What has been sug-
gested may account for the reasons why
some localities are worthless for bee
keeping.
An apiarist in such a locality may do
his best and never succeed; his colonies
are all the time weak in spite of breed
ing, while another, two or three miles
away, meets with great success; his bees
getting warming of the storm have mile
the start of il, and only have to sail in
with the wind.

Cutting of Corn.
St Louis Journal Of Agriculture

There has been a great change in the
views of practical farmers the last few
years on the subject of the best time to
cut up corn. A few years ago it was the
general practice to wait until the corn
was dry, and the fodder below the ear
pretty we'll dried up before beginning to
cut. This is now believed to be a mis-
take. 1t has been found by experience
that the corn does not gain anything by
standing after the grains begin to glaze,
and that the stalk and fodder lose yery
considerably. As this is year when it is
necessary that farmers should be econom-
zeal IN saving forage this fact should be
borne IN mind and the corn not be per-
mitted to stand until the stouer is well
nigh rendered yalueless. No doubt all
the early corn has already past the peri
cd when 1t should have been cut in order
to get the benefit of the fodder to the
fullest extent, but the sooner it is cut,
even now, the better.
If, with the general shortage in the hay
crops, the fall continues dry and does not
bring out good fall pasturage so as to
Obyiate the necessity of feeding till well
into winter, and the winter should then
prove hard one, every pound of forage
that can be saved will be needed. We
may not have such juncture of circum-
stances, but at the same time we may. II
is matter of great Importance to every
farmer to provide as well as possible for
such an emergency.
