Spreading Manure in the Fall.

have tried the plan d number of
times in years past of spreading por-
ton OF the manure in the fall of the
year, instead Of leaving it all to be
earted and put on in the spring I
have tried it on low ground, on sod
and on land where I had taken off
hoed crops. At one time I spread
horse manure and muck that had been
dug out and lain on high ground for a
year or two, and D piece that had been
ditched, a kind OF high meadow, and
the result was that the next years
crop of grass was the largest that it
had been for years previous. When
raising grass was the object in view I
have thought could get better re-
turns by putting the manure on low
waste land that never was plowed Tor
what is termed natural mow1ng), or if
plowed to apply the manure directly
after it is stocked down to grass, not
waiting until the grass shows signs Of
producing diminished crops, believing
that when the roots are Young and
vigorous we get greater returns from
fertilizers applied. One year ago last
fall | ploWed part of u piece OF corn
stubble and spread the manure on the
burrows just before the ground froze
l did not harrow the ground at all.
Last spring plowed the whole piece,
spread on a coat of manure and plant
ed the whole with corn, and the
result was that on the fall-plowed land
| harvested the most, best, and earliest
corn. 1t seemed to thrive and grow
faster during the whole season. | tried
fall nlanuring on q potato patch few
years ago and raised a good crop with
no fertilizer in the hill. IF we apply
manure in the fall we get the benefit Of
fall rains and the SHOWS Of winter.
which help dissolve the manure and
carry the fertilizing portions into the
soil. The work is done at a season OF
the year when the teams are strong,
aud when work is not pressing so hard
as in the spring. After the ground
freezes we can cart manure over the
soft and miry land, where a team could
not be driven without difficulty at 9th
err seasons of the year. thus making it
easier for the team and less damage to
the land. We should study the situa-
ton aud try to find out the best way
to apply manure to the soil as well as
the time to do so, and if we find mis-
takes have been made in the past, try
and rectify them and not go on in a
blind, unthinking way in the future. -

Farm Notes,

Have a supply Of hardwood lumber
sawed and packed away to dry for
future repairs.
1t is about time for northern farmers
to be thinking about that hotbed for
early vegetables.
Decide now whether you will build a
slIo next year or not. II not pre- pare
for a crop of roots.
For ticks on sheep use snuff or tobac-
co smoke Dips and washes are not
fit to use in cold weather.
Dry leaves make the best bedding
for sows with little pigs They will
not tangle the feet like straw
Cows that are to have calves in the
spring should have no meal now. but

Wood seasoned under cover is worth
enough more to pay for hiring help to
put it in the she'd this spring.
Do not spend much time or expense
on the old spiketooth harrow. That
should be laid away among the anti
uufties.

Spike pole to the posts about eight
inches from the floor to keep the sow

Watch for vermin on all kinds of

Additional experiments of this
character, with ensilage without siIo,
will be interesting. They should be
varied in different ways, and the results
given by accurate measurement It is
questionable, however, whether farm
ers will be willing to sacrifice two feet
OF good fodder all around the outside to
protect that which is within, and
whether they will not generally prefer
good plank double walls and partitions,
to the two feet walls of frozen and
rotten ensilage to protect the interior.

FARM AND H0HE.
Races Bees

QUITE likely a great many bee-keepers
have noticed that certai in kinds of bees
prefersome kinds of flowers, while other
races OF bees work on different kinds
OF bloom at the same time, and as a
general thing brown German bees
; work on weeds more than the Italians
40. [ have all italian queens except
one, which Is a Syrian queen; some of
these queens are pure italian,
ana some mated with black drones.
One Italian queen, [ have reason to
believe, was mated with a Syrian
drone on account of the different
markings on the abdomen of the work
ers and the great number of queen-cells
that they will build; also their differ
ent dispositions. This queen was
reared IN 1856, and last year through
! the month OF August It's colony of bees

fnoney from the common blue-thistle-
this IS not a large amount of honey, as
we had a drought at that time and

built down so nicely at the bottom,
there being more space between the

Of the comb. I noticed this on account
OF the yellow bees having a reputation
( rcapping their honey whittier than
yellow bees, but it was the reverse
this time.
The dark hybrids and black bees
seem to work well on fall flowers, such
as asters, Spauish-needle, smart-weed
and other flowers. After the thistle

difference in the looks OF the honey
There is always lots of timber land
being cleared around here, as this was
a heavily timbered country, and these

The most curious book in the world
is one that is neither written nor print
ed. Every letter of the text is CUT into
the leaf, and as the alternate leaves are
OF blue paper, it is as easily read as the

patience necessary to cut each letter
may be imagined. The work is so per-

Ensilage without Slices.

English farmers, as it is well known.
nave been in the practice for some
years Of building square stacks ofgreen
fodder and then placing them under
heavy pressure, instead of packing the
fodder in well-built slices, according to
the practice commonly adopted in this
country. The stacks are built on plank
floors resting on cross timbers, and
- when finished plank held down with
cross timbers are placed on top, and the
upper and lower cross timbecs are
drawn together with chains instead of
the common practice of weighing We
are not informed definitely what por-
ton of these ensilage stacks have been
injured or spoiled by the exposure at
the sides, but there would be doubtless
less of it injured in England, with less
variations in the climate from heat and
cold, and with less freezing in winter
at the exposed sides, than in our sharp
er winters in this country
1t appears that in the trial made at
the Geneva Station with a. stack of
green hay, fourteen feet square and
,four and one-half feet high after set
Ting, the fodder at the sides where ex-
posed was spoiled for two feet in, and
for one foot on the top aud half a foot
only at the bottom where the whole
heavy mass was on it above Accord
ing to the published statement there
were when opened only 500 cubic feet
of uniniured fodder at the center, and,
as the original space occupied by il was
So cubic feet, nearly two-thirds OF the
whole amount was lost
But as this stack was opened in Sep
TENDER, only five weeks after it was
made, and before any of it could have
been frozen, there might have been a
greater loss had it been exposed "a
month or two on it's four sides to the
freezing winds of winter.
Major Alvord gives in q recent
number of the Boston Cultivator some
account of another experiment per-
formed last year in Massachusetts. A
stack was made of uncut eornstalks,
butts outward. sixteen feet square and
ten feet high after settling. It was
weighed with one foot of soil thrown
: on top, which would be rather over
half ton to the square yard, and about
tie usual weight employed in this
country. 1t was opened the 1st of
November, and the only information
given as to its condition was that the
owner found "a Lot of wel.-kept forage
which cows ate greedily. The quantity
spoiled is not stated. 1t is not probable,
however. that it would keep any better
than the fodder at the Geneva station.

A Famous Battle Ground,

On the banks of the Tippecanoe,
n small stream which enters the
| Wabash River in Indiana, was
fought the terrifc|battle of Tipppeea
noe.
/ In this great struggle of frontier
times, the allied western Indians under
/ the craftsmanship of EIksWaraWa, the
| Prophet were defeated in Novem-
Der, 1911, by the Americans under
| the command ofGen. VIM. III. Harrii-
son.
/ 1t was desperate, hard fought
battle, and much depended upon the
result.
/ Had the Indians been successful,
all barriers of defence for the early
settlers would have been overthrow
and the deadly tomahaWk would
have been active in the rapid exter-
mination of the remaining pioneers.
| On the other hand the fortunate ter
nlination of the contest can put an
end to further attempts at open war
| fare by the Indians. The rich terri
tory, SO long oyerrun by hostile saw
ages, was thrown open for settle
| ment, which rapidly occurred ass
as the news of the great victory be-
came widespread.
+ Naturally great praise was render
ed to thesuceess and intrepid bravery
of Gen Harrison and he was honor
ed in many ways He afterwards
served as Commander of the Army

demise occurred shortly after being
