Some farmers top-dress their grass
land directly after haying. Others
prefer to wait until late in the fall.
Those who have tried both methods
prefer to top-dress late in the season.
When the manure is spread upon the
fields directly after haying, ii there is
a protracted spell of dry weather, the
dressing becomes so dry and hard that
1t takes a long time to render it solu-
biz, 50 that its fertilizing elements can
be appropriated by the grass roots.
When applied just before the ground
freezes the action OF the frosts serves
to disintegrate the Jumps. The fall
raid, and early SHOWS renderit soluble,
and is effects upon the grass will be
plainly visible in early spring. Late
top-d,cssing is preferable on the
whole.

Keeping sweet Potatoes.

We would say to correspondent
who inquiries about keeping sweet po-
tatoes, says the Western Rural. that
they can be kept for several months in
an ordinary cellar if he is careful in
handling them. They should be thor
oughly dried before being put away,
and so carefully handled as not to
bruise them. The drying may be done
in the sunshine, spreading them out
carefully so that the sun can get at
them, and carefully covering them at
night so that the dcws will not get on
them. Or they may be dried ina kiln.
For family use drying in the sunshine
would of course. be the cheapest and
would answer all purposes. The cellar
in which they are kept should be dry,
and it is better when possible TO so
put them away as that the air can
have iree access through them.

Feeding Fall Pigs.

The most convenient and the easiest
way to feed fall pigs is to give them
whole new corn. While this is true,
it is u most hazardous way to start
them, for they are liable to come TO
winter quarters burned out, lacking in
vigor and digestive powers, which
makes it exceedingly probable that
they will go through the winter with
out paying gain.

The Value of Iran

Farmers who live near Touring mills
can buy bran and other ship stuffs
more cheuply in August and Septem-
Der than at any other season of the
year. The demand for this is less now
than 1t is later in the season. when
other feed becomes scarce. Besides,
millers are filling up all available room
with wheat. Bran, in proportion to
the space it occupies costs little and
the profit on it is small. IL farmers
have an extra dry room they can hard
ly put it to better use than filling it
with bran and fine middlings.
