When to cut grass varies in the prac-
tice of farmers. A correspondent of
Massachusetts, Ploughman writes that
be likes to NOW as much of his grass as
be can from to o'clock in the after
noon. 1t cures much faster the next
day than that which is mown the next
morning when the dew is on. 1t is an
advantage to have the raking all done
before the sun gets low in the western
sky and it is better to have the hay that
is ready hauled in before night. Damp
ness gathers upon the hay as soon as the
heat of the sun is off. This CORE
spondent cuts his timothy quite early on
land that is capable of affording two
crops in one season. The early cutting
he reserves for milk COWS and young
stock; the last cutting is devoted to the
horses.
Opinions differ as to the utility of hay
caps, though it is generally conceded
that a clover crop is secured in a better
condition when these are employed. One
seldom hears of farmer throwing them
aside after he has once used them. Good
hay caps are about 6 feet square and
made of common unbleached muslin.
They will often save their cost in single
season. Dew and rain wash out much
of the best portion of the grass after it is
partially cured.
Most farmers, as rule, prefer to cut
clover when a few of the heads begin to
turn brown. In deciding the proper stage
of growth for cutting grass for hay dc
not forget that late growth of the
plants nearly to seeding impairs their
strength. In case of red clover, it great
ly interferes with the crop of seed which
is obtained from the second cutting.

Making Marble Out of CHALK.

In nature marble is made out of chalk
by water, which percolates through the
thalky deposits, dissolves the chalk par
ticle by particle and crystallizes it. noun
tain pressure solidifying it. 1t has been
found that similar results may be ac-
complished by chemical means. First,
slices of chalk are dipped in a color
bath, staining them with tints that will
initiate any kind of marble known. For
this purpose the same mineral stains are
used as are employed in nature. For
example, to produce counterfeit verde
antique" oxide of copper is utilized. In
like manner green, pink, black and other
colorings are obtained Next, the chalk
slices go into another bath, by which
they are hardened and crystallized, COM

ThInes Farmers Want to Know.

1t has been decided at the New York
station that celery may be safely sprayed
with copper compounds for leaf spot dis
eases.
All kinds of root crops are especially
benefited by the potash contained in
wood ashes.

tried at the Utah station last season,
speckled wax gave the best satisfaction.
Henderson's bush lima was the most sat

not the patch of rye may have an oblig-
ing neighbor that has. Cut it before the

AT the Oregon station better success
has been gained with carrots than with
mangels. The beets are affected by dry
weather during the summer months
more than the carrots Very often the
mangels will scarcely recover from the
affects of the drought sufficient to make
growth after the rains come in Septem-
Der or October. 1t is not so with the
carrots, which send their roots deeper
and are thus able to gather moisture
from the lower layers of the soil These
roots seem to enjoy the dry weather, and
while they do not make much growth
are in vigorous condition to make rapid
strides during the fall
Among the new varieties grown at this
station the Mastodon makes the best
yield. 1t is smooth, uniform in shape
and yellowish in color. The flesh is very
firm, which is indicative of good keep
ing qualities. The White Vosges, grown
for the first time last season, is one Of
the best varieties. 1t is the most uniform
in shape of any variety and is very
smooth. The flesh is white and firm.
OF the varieties which have been grown
successfully upon the experimental
grounds for several years the Long
White Belgian takes the lead, and the
improved Long Orange is next. Fol
young calves and colts and for older
horses carrots are "a most excellent food
to keep the digestive organs in healthy
and vigorous condition. Bran, shorts
ground oats or oilmeal assist in making
"a good milk ration when carrots are fed
to cows, according to the stations report

SQUASH CULTURE.

How Prize squashes Are Grown In Massa-
chusetts With Chemical Fertilizers.
Squash must have q warm soil and
thrives best in soil of good strength, in.
clining to a light rather than astiff loan.
The rich meadows grow luxuriant vines
and large size squashes, but of inferior
quality and extremely poor keepers. To
secure large crops of fine texture, fully
meated squashes, one must provide a
liberal amount of food.
If manure is used, it should be applied
before blowing and thoroughly incorpo-
rated into the soil by narrowing. The
hills should be struck out not less than
eight feet apart, and for the stronger
growers 10 feet is none too far. Use
from 500 to 700 pounds of phosphates per
acre, scattered we'll around each hill and
mixed with the soil. Drop eight or ten
seeds in each hill, and when the plants
are well started,thinDt them out tothree or
four to hill At the second hoeing
scatter between the rows about 500 or
600 pounds more of the phosphate, thus
providing abundant food for the plants
all through their growing, season. If the

the field can be cultivated in both ways
and much hand. hoeing, saved
The best growers have dropped the for
mer custom of killing up their squashes
and prefer the level mode of culture.
The cultivator should be kept going over
the field until the runners become so
long that the oultivator would injure
them in passing. A Massachusetts farm
er who has made a special test of ferti-
lizers on squashes tells in letter to
American Cultivator how he grows prize
squashes.
My former practice was to apply to
my squash field nine or ten cords of stable
manure to the acre, but now, by using
five cords of manure broadcast and a
handful of phosphate in each hill, get
a much more satisfactory crop with less
labor and expense, the work of planting
not being half what it used to be when
we applied the manure in every hill.
The phosphate is very obnoxious to the
black bugs and other insects which feed
upon the young plants, and | seldom
have any trouble from them when /
freely use the phosphate.

Field, Experiments, with Fertilizers.

Results obtained in 1892 at the Ken
lucky agricultural experiment station
in field experiments with fertilizers for
corn. potatoes and tobacco are thus sum-
married. in a bulletin recently issued:
L. Wherever potash was one of the in
gradients of the fertilizer used, whether
on corn, tobacco or potatoes, there was
an increased yield. 2. That where phos-
phoric acid or nitrogen or both were
used without potash there was scarcely
any increase in yield over those plots re-
ceiving no fertilizer. 3. That there was
a profit in the use of fertilizer in every
instance where potash was one of the in
gradients. 4. That there was a loss by
the use of fertilizer where potash was
not one of the ingredients, except in the
tobacco experiments. s. That potash
fertilizer applied on corn has shown its
effect for four seasons after the applica-
ton.
The soil of the station farm, it ought
to be explained. is what is termed "blue
grass soil.

Is a Nest Egg Necessary?

1t is impossible to tell without know
ing what passes in the mind of the hen
when she is considering nestmaking.
The theory" of the nest egg is certainly
plausible. 1t is believed that the nest
looks more attractive to biddy and seems
more homelike if there is a nest egg in
it. If she has been in the habit of visit
ing that nest box daily, the fact Of there
being an egg Tor the counterfeit of one)
there when she comes expecting to lay
another egg makes her think the nest a
safe place, while the absence of an egg

HANDY AND CHEAP.

But little description is required-the
cut is so plain. Any farmer who has a
workshop can make this implement with
a little aid from the blacksmith. The
small figure in front is a piece of plank
with a cultivator tooth inserted. When
burrows are to be made, one of these
should be bolted behind each runner
at A. To keep the furrowers down to
their work and in line, run a board across
the rear ends and bolt it to each one.
The operator should lay board from
the main plank to the rear board and
stand on it. The farther he stands be-
hind the deeper the marker goes.

has been appealed to on the subject. His
