about onc-eighth of an inch in length.
This season, ho says, the worm was

that tho wheat crop OF Yolo was third
greater than was predicted or expected
by the farmers. Mr.. Allen proposes

Vnlun oil Sheep.

A correspondent OF the Rural New
Yorker say, that, aside from tho value
of tho wool, the raising of sheep for
their manurial value is Of great import
anco on farm where it is not conven-
lent to apply manure on many of the
fields that require it. A flock of thirty
sheep will bring poor pasture lot Of
six acres up into a state of comparative
richness in one season. know farmer
who owns 100 acres of tillablo land,
whose special crop il oats, and who has
not manure enough for four acres annu-
ally, yet he has kept up tn, fertility of
his land by the aid OF sheep. He
keeps from thirty to forty. lie changes
them from one pasture to an
other all summer, aad it is sur
prising on what poor pasture sheep
will subsist. I am OF tho opinion that
on even moderate pasture sheep do not
require any extra grain ratioas. They
wi rear their lambs we'll and thrive on
pasture on which COW would show a
very pcrccptiblc lcsscning in her milk
flow. Ihavc como to tho conclusion
that the droppiags of sheep will pay for
their pasture, and if I had plenty of
pasture fields l would pasture any num-
Der of sheep gratis all summer. There
is great difference 10 the breeds Of
sheep. I believe those of the Down
breeds are tho hardest and make the
best mothers aud they arc frecr from

FOR FARM AND GARDEN.
Tanning Corn

Tho old practice OF cutting oil the tops
of corn above the cars and leaving the
remaining stalks in the field to dry up
and be worthless for any purpose seems
very strange to modern farmers. Tho
butts of cornstalks were practically
worthless whom left in tho field to dry.
Cured properly and cut when stu
green, just after the corn has hardened,
tho butts uro richer in nutrimont than
tho tops. Possibly the richest place OF
MI is tho middle around where tho car
wa, formed. Any ono who notices how
COW cats cornstalks will find that she
scizcs the stalk by tho middle, doubles
it up in her mouth and so progresses
towards both ends at once. When she
comes to tho tassol she bitcs it oil and
drops that with tho butt, preparatory
to taking another mouthfu. -[Amori-.

I'm tho Poultry Yard.

In feeding poultry, says corrospon-
don't in tho Now York World, tho old
and experienced birds usually get the
lion share of tho food. a simple old
hen with brood of chickens, when fed
by herself, will throw herself into such
ecstacies that with tho noise she makes
she will attract tho attention of every
other fowl on tho premises, which loses
no time in hurrying to tho spot to help
with the lunch, aad then it is bad for
tho chicks.
To remedy this, pieces of lath may be
sharpencd at one end and driven into
the ground to form circle or any space
large enough to make feeding place
for tho small chicks, and the lath must
be near enough together to admit Of
the little fowls going through, and yot
to exclude the large ones.
A hen and her brood thrive better
when they arc permitted to run out
than when confined to the coup. Fowls
permitted unlimited runs will pick up
nearly all the food required for them
selves and their chickens.
Turkeys thrive better to DO shut up
for two or thrce weeks, for there is
hardly any kind of fowl known rs ten
der as young turkey. Going through
tho wet grass, following tho mothOr
turkey, is very bad exercise for them
and many of the mother fowls have no
discretion where they set down their
big feet, and often ilittcn out
young turkey. seemingly
in puro Observation-Disclosures. A
hen makes much better mother of
young turkeys than I'll, turkey docs,
and it is customary to set turkeys eggs
under hens on thi, account. A. hen
Seems to have sonso of proprioty and
moderatcs her gait to what young ouos
can bear, and is much moro apt to
bring whole brood through safely

least Troublesome and inexpensive
branches of husbandry that he has to
look after, and pays better than many
other things, even when very much
neglected.

l will tell your exact character now and

the fact that both these pieces of divine

"No, l do not move until the battle is won. :"
So if our foot be famed or lost let it be in the

That is the most beautiful foot that goes
