Saving the Bulky Crops.

After wheat has been thrashed the straw
is stacked in the barnyard and the stock
turned in to eat portion while trampling
larger proportion in the mud. The hay
is carefully stored in the barn loft, while
the cornstalks remain in the shocks and are
eft in the fields to topple over and become
wasted. Every pound of hay sayed is a
pound gained, and with more care of the
straw and stalks the hay will winter large
number of cattle. :. The straw is considered
of but little value, yet the farm can be i'm
poverished by selling off the straw. OF
inorganic matter 1000 pounds of lime, but
little over two pounds of potash, and not
as much as a pound of phosphoric acid,
though containing largely of starch and
nitrogen. The straw contains in its com
position nearly three times as much lime
as the grain, and three times as much
phosphorie acid. These proportions are
seemingly small, but they amount to a
large quantity where hundreds of tons of
straw are grown. Over 50 pounds of ash
exist in 1000 pounds of staw, which is
more than double the amount of ash in the
grain, and in feeding value the wheat is
well worth being cared for, as four tons of
straw are equal to Cne ton of the best
hay

garden without weed is almost as
rare rs mind without an impure thought,
and when found it may be considered as
the gardeners paradise. No person of
close observation can ride through an
agricultural section in August without
coming to the conclusion that the farmers,
as rule, let the weeds outgeneral them.
The average farmer keeps the weeds down
until July, then he thinks his crops will
care for themselves, so he ceases TO culti-
yate, and thus permits the weeds to come
up in such numbers as to not only injure
the crop of the present year but to ripen
millions of seeds to injure the crop of the
following year. This is poor policy; the
farmer who fully understands his business
will keep up the war with the weeds until
cold weather, and will thus in few years
so clear his land of weed seeds that the
labor of cultivation will be reduced more
than one-half, and the crops in the absence
of weeds will be much larger If the
farmer would be happy he must keep the
weeds down. not only in his mind but also
among his growing crops, on the borders of
his fields, around the farm buildings and
waste places of the farm, and thus preven,
anV seeds from ripening
