Autumn the Proper Time for This Mos
Important Work.

! Autumn the Proper Time for Thls Most
! Important Work.
! There is no better time to top-dress
meadows than in the autumn. The SOL
'uble portions of the manure will be
quickly washed down into the soil by
the fall rains. BY this means the hui
mus of the manure is left at the sur
face, just where nature designed it to
be. The sooner this is done the bet
ter. Yet to get the best results the
manure should have been converted
into compost. or as nearly so as posi-
bic. This is not so costly process as
many persons imagine. and in all dis
ttricts where manure must be applied
to keep up the fertility of the soil, COM
posting should be followed. since thus
jthe full integrity Of the manure is Sc
Icured.
TO accomplish this, prepare bed
lfor the manure upon soil that will not
leach. by scraping out place dishing
to the middle, in which to place the
manure. Into this throw all matter
that will ecompose-manure, strong
loan, old sods, wash water and all
vegetable refuse. Do not leave it round
ing ON the top, but fiat, so it may soak
lin the rain; keep this moist by pump
ing the liquid from the bottom over
the top occasionally, when the mass
gets rather dry. In the course of a
season this will be converted into
good compost, if turned two or three
times. ,...... ......
If you have not compost, spread ovex
the meadow, up to fifteen loads per
acre, coarse, littery manure. The SOL
uble parts of this will be washed down
into the soil, and in the spring tho
light, chaffy portions may be raked in
to windows with horse-rake, and

LARGE FARM HORSES.
Remarkable Increase In the Demand 70
Heavy Draft Animals.

Heavy Draft Animals
There can be no doubt but that the
importation of French, English and
Scotch draft horses has greatly i'm
proved the standing of the farm horses
in this country. While pure, or nearly
pure, blood horses of these breeds may
prove too large for farm work, it is
quite certain that the native horses, on
the whole, are too small, at least for
the West The introduction of self
binding respers, sulky plows and other
implements of heavy draft, has created
an increased demand for heavier horses
for farm work. While in the way Of
general utility, activity and strength.
our native horses are very good, it is
evident that they can not cope with
larger horses in doing the heavier part
of farm work. with the machinery and
implements now in use. Progressive
farmers see the wisdom of crossing
with the large and powerful foreign
breeds. The result of these crosses can
nov be seen in nearly every part Of the
country. 1t is doubtful if the snlky
pillow, SELF binding reaper and many
other usefulimplements would be in so
general use to-day, were it not for such
causes. Another thing in their favor
h that any surplus stock can alw avs
End ready sail. Indeed, so great is
the demand for grades of the draft
breeds in the cities and in the lumber
camps Of the North, and prices offered
are so tempting to farmers. that they
find it difficult to retain team of such
horses for their own use. The great
increase in the importation of Graft
horses for breeding purposes shows
that the popular demand for them is
general and permanent - PrSir's
