Thrashing Grain.

The modern thrashipg outfit leaves
nothing to be desired, but there are a
few useful hints which may be Of assist
ance Sufficient help should be employ
ed that the grain may be delivered to
the machine in steady stream and in
ample quantities 1t is "a fact that in
every section are farmers who are noted
for being short of help at thrashing
time The men are consequently over
worked. The thrashers are dissatisfied
because they cannot make the usual prog
ress, and sourness prevails ON all sides
because one man desires to economize to
the extent of So or SO. The fact is that
he loses many times that sum, for men
thus imposed upon will shirk their duty
in more ways than one
The farmer who raises several yari-
eties of grain should, if he desires to
keep the seed pure, take pains and thor
oughly sweep the floor when changing
from one variety to another If one has
been considerate, the ripest and best de-
veloped portion of the grain was so
placed in a certain part of the building
or so located by placing little hay or
other fodder between it and the main
crop that the pitchers could distinguish
it and inform the one who carries it
away that it may be deposited separately
and used for seed.
The great prevalence of foul stuff
should cause the careful farmer to use
extra precaution in having the thrash
ing apparatus thoroughly cleaned before
coming upon the premises after having
thrashed grain for neighbor whose
grain is known to contain foul weeds.
This is one source of danger that but
few of even the careful farmers have
ever seriously considered. American

National Irrigation Congress.

The national irrigation congress,
which is to meet at Albuquerque, N.
M, beginning Sept. 16, for four days
session, promises to he full of interest
and instruction. There will be a review
of the progress Of irrigation during the
years 1894 and 1895, with lectures by
Judge j.. s. Emery Of Kansas, Hon.

and others. Lutte Wilcox, editor of the
Denver Field and Farm, is on the pro
gramme for the second day for a talk ON
Practical Methods of Irrigation" with
charts. John A. Frost will speak on
COLONIZATION Of Arid Lands. On the
third day Captain W. A. Glassford,
United States army, will present a pa
per on "Climatology Of the Arid Re.

Glover Seed Crop.

The second cutting is used for a seed
crop. Dry, light soils give better sam
pie Of seed than heavy clays. A thin
crop, none of which is lodged, gives the
best yield. When the second crop is to
be kept for seed, the first cutting should
be earlier than usual to allow the plants
a good start before the very dry summer
weather. In a rainy, damp season the
seed crop is not equal to what may be
expected in dry, warm one. The seed
is ripe when the flower heads are pass
ing from brown to black and the seed
itself is hard Heads late in Towering
contain seeds soft or leathery. There
will be later Towering branches in any
crop, but the main bulk must be consid-
cred. The crop should not be much
handled, as the heads are apt to break
and fall off. Once turning, and that
carefully done, will suffice if the wealth
er be good and dry. Thrashing should
be done by the clover separator. Red
clover is one Of those plants which can
not produce seed unless fertilized by in
sects. Bees are the chief fertilizers.
The bumblebee, being especially valu-
able for this purpose, should be protect
ed by the farmer.

HOW TO PREVENT swAsMlNo.
~ Told by an Ohio Beekeeper In The
American bee Jonrnnl

American Bee journal.
To the apiarist whose chief object is
the production Of honey the prevention
of increase by natural swarming be-
comes serious problem, which is not
satisfactorily solved by many The bee
keeping fraternity practices various
plans to accomplish this, such as remov-
ing or caging the queen, cutting out
queen cells, using entrance guards or
queen traps, extracting or giving sur
plus room above. Where run for comb
honey alone have attained fair success
along by keeping myself posted concern
ing the condition of the colonies, and
whenever find one whose brood cham
Der is getting nearly full (and this the
experienced beekeeper is enabled to tell
at glance ON opening the hive by OBJ
serving that the bees have begun to
whiten and bulge the combs at the top
bars) l put on a super at once and put
in it two or three partly filled sections
to entice the bees to go to work above,
which they will usually do at once if there
is sufficient flow of nectar. 1 observe
that the bees are still hampered for
room, then put on another, putting it
beneath the first, which should now be
partly filed. Give the bees Just room
enough and then entice them to go to
work above, and you have accomplished
your object, and thereby increased your
profits and abated the swarming fever
In addition to the above, if it is at
time of the year when the young bees
reared would mature at time to assist
in gathering some particular honey
flow, Iremove the outside frames, which
are usually filled with honey only, and
slip in the middle of the colony a cou-
pie Of frames filled with full sheets of
foundation. This will give the bees and
queen more room and work for awhile.
But to get at the matter Alright so as
to obtain the best results it becomes nec-
essary for us to go further back and see
that we have got strain Of bees whose
energies are spent ON honey gathering
more than on increase alone. There is
without doubt vast difference in va
rious strains of bees in this respect.
While some with vim are gathering
in from field and wood the various
sweets which they can find, others, with
equal energy, are bent ON increasing
their numbers more than their stores,
and consequently when winter comes
they find that they have swarmed the
harvest time away, so to speak, and are
without stores for winter.
We should breed only from those
queens whose colonies approach nearest
our ideal Of perfection, considering in
their proper order the qualities of hardi-
ness, honey gathering, gentleness and
beauty.

Millet Hay--MiiIet as a soiling Crop.

/
Miliet Hay-MiiIet as a soiiing Crop.
Within the past ten years there ha
been decline in the area sown to mil
let. A more extended planting of millet
however, is reported from certain locali
ties The recent failures of the clove
crop in Michigan have increased to som,
extent the sales of millet seed in thi!
state. In Kansas and Texas the area
sown to the ordinary millets are yearly
increasing. In Minnesota and the Da
kotas broom corn millet is now being
extensively grown, but the production
of common millet has fallen off, though
it is usually preferred in the west and
north, as it stands drought we'll and re-
quires only short season.
There is an impression that millet hay
is difficult to cure. So far as this is true,
it seems to be due solely to the heavy
growth which it makes under favorable
circumstances and to it's rather large,
fleshy stems. The treatment required to
make good millet hay is in no way diff
ferent from that required in making hay
of any other kind, except that usually
more of the curing should be done in the
cock, since if the hay is left spread out
until fit to be put in the NOV, the leaves
will be overdried and the stems render.
ed by the exposure more hard and woody
than they would otherwise be. For this
reason the method usually employed in
snaking clover hay serves well for cur
ing millet, writes A. A. Crozier in
bulletin from the Michigan station. He
says: The difficulty in curing millet hay
is largely due in many cases to the late
ness Of the season at which il is per-
formed, for if millet is sown late, as il
often is, it may not complete its growth
until well into the autumn, when damp,
rainy weather prevails The best that
can then be done is to cut it ON fair
day, and when about two-thirds cured
bunch the hay into small cocks to stand
until ready for the barn. Sometimes
millet can be put in cocks the same day
that it is cut, but often it will have to
lie until the second or third day. Dew
or rain upon it before it is fully cured
seems to injure millet less than other
grasses, certainly much less than clover.
When well cut up, millet hay sheds rain
much better than that of most other
grasses, and the cocks may stand in the
field some time if necessary before being
hauled. Millet hay settles down very
solid and will weigh considerably more
than the same bulk of other hay.
Millet in often cut and fed green. 1t
makes quick growth and comes at
time when other green feed is apt to be
scarce. If fed to horses not accustomed
to green feed, it should be used with
moderation, or undue salvation and
perhaps collie may result Millet has
been employed to limited extent for
ensilage with satisfactory results Its
yield per acre will not, however, usual
ly equal that of Indian corn.

Protecting Against Cutworms.

An Illinois farmer takes any tough
paper, cuts it into squares according to
the size of the plants to be set, wraps
the plants with this paper and sets so
the paper is part in the ground and the
top an inch or so above the ground. This
keeps the worm away and does no harm
to the plant, and the paper will never
interfere with it.
