1t Is a comfort to see animals housed
these clustering, gloomy January days.
10 go into dry barns and stables from
the cold sleet of outdoors, and to see the
long rows of stanchions, and stalls filled
with well-feed, contented beasts, must
impart a sense of pleasure and satisfac.
ton to the mind Of any properly consti.
tuted farmer, The gloom and discom.
fort outside, makes the old barn seem
doubly attractive and comfortable in
comparison, Even if it be not severely
cold, the stock will be the better for be-
ing housed during these rainy, clustering
days, 1t may necessitate a trife more
in the care of the animals, but it is labor
prohtably spent.
Herald and tribune. [volume] (Jonesborough, Tenn.) 1869-current, 1886-01-28

Of al leaks on the farm, Il leaky
sloping barnyard is the worst. The
time honored fashion of placing the barn
on a knoll or the highest spot of land
near the house, is a most r~cprehensiblc
one. More wealth glides away from
such a sunny, elevated %barnyard, than
can be computed. 1t must reach far up
into the millions annually. The number
of barns that are so placed that the water
that falls from the roof at each rain, and
rushes through and washes out the most
valuable soluble portions, can be number
ed by the hundreds of thousands.
Every level headed farmer has, or
should have, a level or slightly concave
barnyard, much in the form of IN in.
verified watch crystal. If fiat, and the
bottom is of clay the outer edge should
be raised to a height Of at least one foot,
so that no water would escape that had
fallen in the form of rain.
For the purpose of converting the
largest proportion of the wheat straw into
valuable manure, the stack should be
built in the center of such q yard, and
sufficient straw be scattered from time to
time to keep the yard in a passable con-
dition.
The make the manure heap of the
greatest value, the manurc of the various
kinds Of farm animals should be daily or
frequently scattered over the straw in the
yard, so that each, possessing q distinc-
tive value Of its own, would become
thoroughly commingled, and thus form
a manure in common, that is especially
well adapted to growing all kinds of
crops. Such daily or weekly deposits in
the manure bank, enables the thrifty
farmer to check out from time to time a
reasonable amount Of valuable manure
without danger of over-drawing his ac-
count. The farmer who has a good bank
of well dccomposed manure made an
nually subject to his order, is and can be,
the only truly Independent one, for the
income derived from abundant crops will
as surely make him so, as ten times one
are ten. Feed the soil, and it will i IN turn
feed, clothe. and enrich you.
Herald and tribune. [volume] (Jonesborough, Tenn.) 1869-current, 1886-01-28

When the ground around a pig pen
is thoroughly underdrained, as it should
be, bare earth makes the best and GER
tainly the most desirable floor. A fresh
supply of loose earth should be thrown
in twice a year and removed as manure
whenever it becomes rich enough.

Rotation.

The continued raising of one crop upon
the same soil exhausts the kind of plant
food needed by that kind Of plant. Some
plants have long roots, others short ones;
by changing the nutriment is drawn from
different parts of the soil. Some plants
draw their sustenance largely from the
air, store up nutriment and leave it in the
soil. This class of plants usually have
numerous broad leaves; clover, peas and
beans are of this class. Wheat, corn,
oats and those plants having a few mar
row leaves are exhaustive to the soil. Up
on a sandy loan the following is a plan
for rotation: LIST year, meadow; ID
summer. fallow; Sd, wheat; 4th, corn,
and all the undecomposed manure. Sow
rye at the last cultivation, pasture it in
the fall and spring, 9th year, SOW oats
or barley and seed down.

Level Cultivation.

a long agricultural experience has
convinced us, says the Farmer aad
Trucker, that on well drained land-na-
turally or artifcially-flat or level cul,
ture is best. The moisture needed to
feed the crop is better held, and the eff
fects of drought are greatly ayerted,
Under a system of fiat culture the soil
can be kept stirred with light implements,
such as harrows and %cultivat0rs, which
will keep it open for the admission of all
moisture coming from dews or other
sources. When the land is banked up
by beds or hills the surface drainage is
too rapid for we'll drained land. OF
course on wet lands, not well under,
drained, it is best to bed the land before
planting; and the first letter in the book
Of farming is thorough drainage.
