Top Dressing Winter g rain.

Instead of hauling the ban nyard ma
nure to the field as made, ms my farmers
pile it up in the yard, and, after the
wheat or rye is sown top dress the field
with the thoroughly decom posed mate
rial, which is usually spread directly
from the wagon, entailing less labor and
amore even distribution tina by any 9th
er plan. There is, however, a question
about making this application after
sowing. Those who have tried both
plans in the same field stnd upon the
same crop as reported by American Ag-
riculturist prefer to apply the manure
Just previous to the last narrowing, or
at least before drilling, as this insures
not only more even distribution, but
a fining of all Jumps and the covering
with soil Of a large per cent OF the ma
nure, placing it nearer the growing
plant, where the soil will absorb the
fertility, instead of allowing it to es-
cape, as much Of it does when simply
scattered over the surface. The more
thorough the narrowing the better the
effect of the manure.

tity than formerly of such as are suited
to existing conditions. There is more
careful discrimination in occupying
lands with such crops as are best suited
to them and therefore most profitably
grown. Economy of labor is marked
popularity of present operations. Not
only in the use of labor saving mach1n-
cry and implements, but in reduction OF
.rable culture of ordinary field crops, is
she contrast with former times shown.
In the hill towns farm work employs
less than half the labor of 40 years ago.
with much more than half of former re-
suits in production. This economy is
most noticeable in haymaking. What
formerly required six weeks in the days
of scythes and hand rakes is now easily
accomplished in three. This expedltlon
in haymaking permits the cutting OF
each field when in best condition, IN
stead of the old time delay, which could
not avoid overripeness and deterlora-
ton Of quality. The hay of New Eng
land. therefore, averages better and is
more nutritious and intrinsically valu-
able than formerly.
Wheat has nearly disappeared, yet
farmers here and there will have a small
field. Notwithstanding the ruinously low
price In seeding to grass, wheat or
some other grain has been so long IN
vogue that it is continued as seeming
necessity. Barley is grown for feed on
many farms where wheat has been aban-
doned. The growing of oats is more
general, but the acreage is less than for
merly.
Potatoes, especially for early use, are
still generally grown, but not SO large
" as in former times, except in SOM
localities There is large opportunity
vet for the extension of potato grown g
in the broad acres of new soil IN tile
Aroostook region in Maine, and their
quality is so fine there that there is
great inducement to enlarge the area.
The dairy is the prominent farm in
dustry. There has been great improve
ment in milk COWS during the past ten
years. The Jersey and the Holstein are
popular, and the native stock has been
much improved by selection and better
feeding and care
Fruits are receiving more attention,
