OATS AS A HAY CROP.

Whenever the oat crop does no;
promise well TO be harvested in the usual
way, by reaping and binding, the best

as soon as dry, stow away in the NOW to
be reached about the first of February
for the mich cows. The value will be
seen in the miIk-pail. The cows eat
them up clean, and, if there is enough to
last through March, the COWS will come
out to grass with coats az fine as silk.

WHY THE HENS DO NOT LAY.

There are great many reasons, writes
Webb Donnell, of Maine, why par

think | could have told the owner of a
flock that I saw recently the special
causes why his fowls were refusing to fill
the egg basket. And the reason was not
an uncommon one. Some thirty hens
were confined in room about eight bv
ten feet. To be exact there were thirtv-
one hens and a cockerel in this small
space, giving each one two and a half
feet OF floor speeches than half the
space that should have been given. Fiji
teen hens would have laid double the
number of eggs in such quarters that the
thirty-one were giving, and would have
cost less than half as much to feed. II
is rarely that sufficient room is afforded
to flock of fowls. If it contains twenty
specimens, these are placed in the hen
house. If in the fall the flock has in
creased to thirty-fve, these are crowded
into the same quarters-too small. ner.

THE DIFF ERENCE IN COWS.

Notwithstanding all that has been said
and written about the difference in cows,
a great deal yet remains to be learned
Experiment stations can give us the
comparative merits of Individual animals
of the different dairy breeds, but the in
formation mos; valuable to farmers and
dairymen can only be learned by them
selves. The difference between COWS in
the same herd and Of the same breed, as
guaged by their true value for milk and
butter, is surprising. Even cows from
the same parents often differ so widely
in the quantity or quality of their milk,
or IN both, as to make one decidedly
preferable to the other.
Nothing short of individual tests and
comparisons can determine with any
satisfactory exactness the relative value
for dairy purposes of the different animals
of the herd, and there can be no better
time in the year for beginning the test
than now. Not only should the milk
given by different COWS be tested for its
butter contents until definitely ascer-
tanned and comparison instituted in
this respect, but the amount of milk
given yearly by individuals should be
determined as nearly as possible. Going
dry early, or an early shrinking in her
milk, may make an otherwise good COW
comparatively Improbable. -New York

ASPAR AGUS.

Many ignorant persons, says q writer
In the Massachusetts Pi0uqhn1un, allow
the asparagus stalks to stand in the fall
until they she'd their berries, or even to
stand out all winter, when most of them
get shaken off by the wind or eaten by
birds. These seeds that fall upon the
land will terminate freely among the old
established plants, and are apt to escape
destruction along the line of the rows
where the CT ltivator does not reach them :;
they make the worst of weeds, crOwdino
the larger roots to their in jury, and pro-
ducing nothing but small grass" the
best remedy is preventive one, namely,
to cut out in the fall all plants bearing
berries before they fall off easily, and re-
move them from the field and burn them.
Another point, an asparagus field man
ured with farm yard or city stable man
ure is almost sure to become infested
with weeds TO such a degree that it is
difficult to keep it clean; better mate
rails for fertilizing the bed are fine
ground bone and muriate of potash ap-
piled at the rate of 500 pounds each per
acre and worked into the soil by the har-
row and cultivator in spring, or spread
after the cutting season is over. just as
may be found most convenient; the fer
tilizer is needed late in the season in Or
der to produce heavy after growth
upon which the strength of the roots
depend, and with this, of course, the
certainty OF a good crop the next year.
Whether the fertilizer will act most
effectually spread early in spring or at
the end OF cutting season depends much
on the weather; in order to make sure
that the fertilizer is soaked in as deeply
as the roots go, it is probably better to
spread it early in the season.

individual yield of eggs. A hen, though
domesticated, delights in surroundings
that suggest her originally wild state
She does not like to be jostled by her
neighbois. Sut delights to steal away bS
herself To lay her eggs in some dark COZ
ner out of sight. 1t pays to respect he i
preferences. Provide more room, or keeb
fewer numbers. Six or seven square fe@
of floor space is little enough for eacA
fowl, and the nests ought to be COM
strucred SO the light will not fall intd
them. The best results are obtained
where part of the main room is parti-
toned off for a laying room. It can
also be used for roosting room where
the fowls will be very warm on cold
winter nights. as there should be no large
windows in this apartment
Another cause for the poor results with
the dock first mentione was the filthy
condition of the floors. 1t is strange
that people who believe firmly In cleauli-
ness for the human family should allow
the animals on the farm to inhabit such
filthy quarters as many of them are OBJ
liged to. Setting aside the principle of
the thing. it ought to be remembered
that poultry will not Dc we'll unless they
have dry, clean quarters. Fowls with
colds in their heads and rhumatism in
their legs, and their whole system
poisoned by breathing foul air, are not
likely to lay many eggs. Arrange a
tight platform under the roosts. from
which the droppings can be removed
frequently, and cover the floor with coal
ashes, dry swamp muck, or road dust;
then, if the walls are kept we'll white
washed, it will not be necessary to hold
sne's breath On entering the room. Fowls
will not lay we'll in filth, nor is it pleas
ant to think of eating poultry that have
breathed foul ar for months before their
appearance on the table.-AmericGn
