MEASURING HAY IN STACKS.

No rule has ever been devised that
will give the exact weight of any given
number of cubic yards or feet of hay, be-
cause much depends upon the kinds of
grass or clover out Of which the hay is
made. Then, again, the hay taken from
the bottom Of large stack will be more
firmly compressed than that near the top.
But there are many rules for measuring
hay in the stack, and, while they may
be satisfactory in some instances, they
cannot be depended upon further than to
give a rough approximation, for hay
varies greatly in weight according to the
way Ii is placed in the stack and the
length of time it has been lying, etc.
The rule used in some localities is: Null
tiply the length in yards by the height
in yards, and that by the width in yards,
and divide the product by fifteen. The
quotient will be the number of tons.
Another rule is to allow 525 cubic feet
of well-compressed hay for ton, but at
the bottom of a ten-foot stack $50 cubic
feet will come very near weighing a ton.
Clover hay will run much lighter than
timothy or red-top hay. An old rule
among farmers is to sell 400 cubic feet
as ton, but in buying to insist upon
900 cubic feet.-New York Sun.

CULTIVATION OF THE SOIL.

The term cultivation, as usually under
stood and applied, embraces the first
blowing of the soil for a crop and The
care afterwards bestowed upon it in keep
ing it mellow and free from weeds.
Whether land should at first be plowed
deep or shallow, and what depth Of cul-
tiVation is best subsequently, are points
On which farmers are not uniform in
practice. Usually deep blowing fol
breaking up in spring is the most com
mon custom, but it's propriety depends
SO much on the character of the soil
itself that no rule can be considered
applicable in all cases.
Where deep blowing would bring up
soil poorer than that of the surface, such
blowing must manifestly be disad-
vantage unless the design is to increase
the depth of the stratum to be cultivated
by the use of enough manure to render
the whole equally productive. On loose
and sandy soils, with the fertility near
the surface, ahallow blowing, both for
the preparation and after cultivation,
seems to be indicated in all cases.
Again, different crops require different

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Sell spring chickens as soon as they
are large enough.
Leave the mulch around the small fruit
plants until after fruiting.
Keep the roots of all plants from dry
ing out when transplaniing.
Young goslings and ducks require
about the same management.
Eggs for market should never be
washed when it can be avoided.
Pick the geese regularly. The feath-
ers are the principal source OF profit.
Clean culture and rich, mellow soil
are necessary to grow a good crop Of
onions.
Cabbage plants can readily be set out
in the open ground now; set them to the
first leaf.
Young turkeys must be fed sparingly
at first, and care must be taken that the
feed is fresh.
The sooner the cultivation is begun in
the garden the more easily the weeds can
be kept down.
The cucumbers for the main crop Of
pickles should not be planted until the
middle of June.

RRTSSELS SPROUTS.

The seeds Of Brussels sprouts should
be planted in the house, hotbed OF
greenhouse during the latter part Of
March or by the first of April, for it re-
quires a long season to perfect this ex-
cellent form of cabbage. Market gar.
deners find that it is one Of the most
salable vegetables that can be grown,
and whether planted in large quantities
for the market, or simply for home use,
the seeds should be put in the hotbed
very early. If planted thus early the
young plants will be ready for trans.
planting as soon as the soil and weather
are warm enough. If the spring is
backward the young plants should be
kept in flats of earth, but not so that
they VIII be crowded, until they can be
planted in the open garden.
They should be planted two feet apart
in the garden, and should then be Gull
tivated about the same as cabbages. The
soil must be strong and rich, for in the
early part of the season they have to de-
velop great quantities Of leaves and stalks.
Those leaves near the ground will wither
up and fall off, leaving places for buds
plant has the better it IS for market. In
September the early paintings will be
ready for gathering, and the later plants
will furnish a succession for the winter
table that will be very agreeable. For
winter keeping they should be harvested
before severe freezing weather is here,
and kept in the cellar, as cabbage and
caulifower. The Brussels sprouts are
quite hardy, and they are easily grown
in most of our Northern and Western
States.
The two most conspicuous varieties are
the Dwarf and Giant. The former usually
attains height of eighteen to twenty
inches, and it is somewhat earlier than
the latter. The dwarf stems produce
heads and buns which are more tender
and juicy than those obtained from taller
plants. The Giant variety reaches a
height of nearly four feet, but it pro-
small crown. It is more productive than
the dwarf on account of its size, and is
generally considered harder.
In order to obtain seeds from Brussels
sprouts it is necessary in the fall of the
year to select several of the finest speci-
mems. These should be kept in the cell
lar during the winter, and in the spring
they should be set in the open ground
two feet apart. The top shoot should be
cut off, and from the small heads on the
sides of the main stem branches of pods
will shoot out. These should be saved
A great deal of the seed obtained in the
market will often produce other varie-
ties than the one desired, and it is often
necessary to raise the home seeds from
fine specimens. Boston Cultivator.

FOR THE COMFORT OF COWS.

Many farmers in some of the Western
dairy districts are setting out shade trees
n their pastures, believing that 1t will
greatly increase the comfort of COWS,
claiming that their experience has
proved that when COWS are provided
with shade, which shelters them from
the hot rays of the sun for few hours
in midday when grazing, they have pro-
duced a larger quantity of milk and of
better quality, thus yielding their owners
a large profit. We should like to hear
from some of our readers on this subject.

GREEN FOOD.

A daily ration of green food is actually
necessary for laying hens. Vegetables,
either cooked or raw, are much relished
also, and serve, in some measure, to sup
ply the place Of green diet. Onions,
chopped fine ana mixed with other food,
arc exceedingly wholesome, and, if not a
cure, are certainly preventive of dis
ease in many instances. Growing chick
ems are even more anxious for green food
than laying hens.-Detroit Free Press.

INCENDIARY LANTERNS.

"That was a costly lantern" sighed
neighbor D. as he looked dolefully at the
smoking ruins Of kis new barn. The
kerosene lantern had been set on the
floor 'just for a minute, but long
enough to get knocked over. The blaz-
ing oil made quick work with the intiam-
mable material on every hand. In ten
minutes the roof was falling in; it was
impossible to save even the animals. A
few precautions would certainly lessen
the frequency of such disasters. Having
a place for the light, secure from long
handles, irresponsible heels and switch
ing tails, would be one safeguard, pro-
vided the rule was strictly adhered to of
always putting it in its place when not
in hand. Great care must be used IN
making place for the light, so that it
will be safe from dangers above as we'll
as below The heat arising from a con-
tinuous fame is considerable, and ii too
near the woodwork might gradually heat
1t to the burning point, or dusty cob
web might serve as fuse to carry blaze.
A candle fixed in lantern makes a much
safer light than kerosene, but is not
bright enough for all purposes. One
farmer who had suffered from fire planned
so as to have all his teamwork possible
done before dark; when a light was
necessary, it was never carried into the
barn but put from the outside through a
sliding window into box made for it,
with glass front. New York Tribune.

Congressional Nominations.

From the Elkton Appeal, Republican.
The Republican State Central Committee
of this state met few days ago and fixed
the time and place for holding the several
Congressional Conventions in the six Con-
gressional Districts of Maryland, and earnest,
loyal, devoted, conscientious and self.respect-
ing Republicans throughout the state will
watch with interest for the outcome of these
conventions and unless all signs fail they will
be disappointed and we will have repetition
of men and methods which have cursed the
party for twenty Ave years past,
Congressional Conventions of the Repub.
lioan party in this state for the past quarter
of a century have been managed not for the
purpose of nominating candidates to be elect
ed, but candidates to be defeated. For some
reason unknown to the Republicans of Mary
land defeated candidates for Congress have
been designated by Republican officials at
Washington as the dispensers of Federal
spols, and the oliice-holders deem it neees-
sary to manipulate Congressional conventions
in Order to have the nominee act for their
interests at Washington and assist in retain
ing them IN government service. lust SO
long as this system of Office brokerage is kept
in vogue Just so long will the party be dishon-
ored and defeated by reason of the men and
methods used in controlling the conventions.
If the Administration wishes to aid the
Republicans of Maryland in securing the elee-
ton Of members of Congress, the first thing
the President should do would be to notify
the office. holding element of the party that
defeated candidate for Congress will no
longer be heard as dispenser of Offices.
Such declaration from Washington would
al once remove all the interest the Office
holding element BIAS in the nominations, and
the earnest and loyal Republicans would as
semble themselves in the various conventions
throughout the State and nominate the best
men to be found in the party and would not
be uterfered with by the oiiice-holding ele-
ment of the party.
For the past twenty-five years Federal pa
tronage has. divided the party into factions
and defeated it in every contest in the State.
Officeholders seem to imagine that the party
machinery is only useful as a means of keep
Ing favor and influence with the powers that
be at Washington, and year after year we have
the same farce reproduced by the selfish, mar.
row and merceuary action OF those who feed
at the public crib. Defeat and humiliation
have come to the party in so many contests
that defeat is now always looked for at the
outset, and political battle in Maryland on
the part of Republicans is looked upon at the
start as certain TO result in disaster, and men
of influence and character belonging to the
party will not engage in such hopeless and
improbable struggles.
