Value OF Bone Neal.

The turning under Of green crops
for the purpose OF manure has been
q settled practice for thousands Of
years. But still there are those who
oppose it as being Injurious TO the
the land. In opposition TO this be-
lief correspondent OF the Country
Gentleman gives his experience as
follows:
II have been blowing under green
crops for ten or fifteen years-cow
peas for wheat and rye for my ensi-
lage crop-and always with good re-
suits. My land is a mixture Of clay
and sand. Ten years ago / broke a
rather poor sod for ensilage, using
300 pounds OF raw bone 10 the acre
when i planted the corn. AS soon
as the crop was cut plowed the land
and sOwed one and half bushels of
rye with 800 pounds Of bone TO tfe
acre. l continued this practice for
six consecutive years The crop OF
corn improved year by year. The
seventh year 1 sowed sapling clover
and timothy seed with the rye, still
applying the 800 pounds OF raw bone.
The crop OF grass was magnificent.
One OF my neighbors, looking at the
crop, said TO me: You bought this
land for $40 an acre, and now il is
worth $40 On my home farm, where
the land is better, 1 have lot OF
twelve acres that has been planted in
corn for cnsilage for twelve or fifteen
years On this lot / have used all
the manure from l20 stall-fed cattle,
with 300 pounds OF raw bone TO the
acre. For the last three years, after
cutting the corn, have sown the
land In rye, with 300 pounds OF bone
To the acre, turned IL under when in
the milk and planted the corn, using
300 pounds OF bone and all the man
ure from the cattle stables. This
spring | was turning under the heav-
lest crop of rye | have ever seen in
this country Some OF it measured
eight feet four inches. When / saw
the great dilculty the men had to
thoroughly cover the rye 1--WE were
trying TO plow ten inches deep /
feared that l was OVERRIDING the
green manuring, and my manager has
just told me that. while my regular
corn crop, planted three feet ten
inches by three feet ten inches is
showing the effect OF the drought,
my ensilage corn is looking as fresh
as possible

average weight OF straw and grain pei
acre was found by careful weighing.
A variety known as Dawson's Golden
Cham, originated by Robert Dawson.
Paris Ont, took the lead both for
gram aud straw. 1t yielded at the
rate OF 3i.S bushels per acre and I.s5
tons OF straw. The Golden Drop was
second, vie ding LII tons OF straw
and 3i.i bushels OF grain. Mediter-
ranean yielded l.s5 tons OF straw and
3O.s bushels OF wheat The largest
weight OF straw was OF the Fultz,
1872 tons OF straw. but the wheat
yield was next 10 the smallest, only
26. bushels. 1t is quite likely that
the Golden Chaff will prove equally
productive in the States AT least it
is worth trying.

The Harvest Moon,

What is called the harvest moon ir.
this country is a misnomer, unless
our corn crop be the one that this
moon is thought especially to favor
in harvesting. 1t is the full moon
that occurs nearest the September
equinox, and in England at this time
the wheat harvest is in full blast
AS the full moon near the September
equinox rises at nearly the same hour
several evenings in succession it Is
possible TO keep TO harvest work all
through the night. 1t is not likely
that in these days the privilege OF
working night as we'll as day is much
availed OF by farmers. Shorter hours
Of labor are coming to be the rule in
the country as we'll as in cities.

The pig is not thought a very in
telligent animal, but be has the
faculty OF dnding his way TO his home
after being removed from il, though
carried in boxes where he could not
possibly retrace his tracks. An in.
stance Of this sort is told OF two
brothers who were farmers, who
bought new farm twenty-five miles
distant from their old home. Select
ing two pigs they placed them in a
box on the sleigh and started. The
pigs were released at night and placed
in pen, but they broke out before
morning and could not be found any
where. The brothers returned TO
their old home the second day after,
resolved TO get two more pigs from
the same litter and take better care
OF them hereafter. To their surprise,
the strayed pigs had returned before
them, and comparing notes when
they arrived it was found that they
must have gone the whole distance
in not exceeding twenty-tour hours.

NATURE LOVE MAKING.
Birds and Insects Must DO Taclr crettiest
When Courtine.


The wooing OF birds Is most re.
fined and graceful Love tunes their
respective pipes and they seek 10
captiyate their mates by their sweet
est notes ana most varied warblings.
The wood pigeon charms his lady,
love by series OF aerial evolutions
and a curious tapping OF his strong
wing feathers, putfing his breast and
softly cooing.
At mating time the plumage OF
male birds is more handsome than 40
any other period-indeed, some birds
assume different colors in the spring
Yellow-hammers charm their mates
by displaying their tail feathers in
the form OF fan; starlings chatter
in the sunshine TO show the metallic
beauty OF their breast feathers, and
swallows circle and double in grace
full flight before their Iady-loves
Bright shells, flowers feathers md
grasses arc laid by the bower biro az
the entrance OF his partners retreat;
and tiny humming birds WOO most
assiduously, showing of their lovely
hues ana engaging in fierce combat
with possible rival; even bringing
nectar from choice flowers for the
delectation OF their fairy brides.
Hen birds exhibit all the vagaries
OF their sex, and pretend to be indlf.
ferent to the eXertions Of their adj
mirerS
Frogs have an original way OF love
making, and as soon as evening
shades fall commence to croak loudly
TO their mates, sometime great num-
bers OF them combining in one un-
musical chorus
Courting among insects is often a
very elaborate affair. A male spider
will approach female and amuse
her for some time with his antics. II
is said that he twirls around and ex-
ecutes sort OF may dance to excite
her admiration.
She is very vicious lady and not
always pleased with his lovemaking:
sometimes he finds himself obliged To
ward her of, for she has a painful
mode OF showing her displeasure, and
and il she entirely disapproves OF his
attentions will fall upon him and
rend him to pieces.
One species Of spiders is said 20
have novel way Of making love, the
sexes communicating by means OF
strands OF web stretching from one
retreat TO the other-a sort OF tele-
phone, so TO speak.
Glow worms, according to some
naturalists, use their luminarieS as
love signals The females Of one
species seat themselves among the
grass while the males, attracted
by the light, dance attendance round
them.
Concerning flshes-the stickleba
occasionally resort to harsh treat
ment attacking the females with
open mouths and erected spines As
hus usbands their behavior is certainly
eccentric, for after the female has de-
posted her eggs within the nest
that he has prepared for her, her lord
and master drives her ssEay and pro-
ceeds to hatch them himself -Bos-
