sIANURfNG PASTURES.

Good barnyard manure applied right
after the meadows and pastures are
mown i'll the summer gives very bene-
fetal results. 1t can be hauled out
from the yards and stables in August
or September, and spread over the
stdbble. The earlier after the meadows
are mown the better, and where they
are cut in early July, the work can be
done profitably then Thin pastures
can he greatly improved by midsum-
mer manuring, and where the grass
has been very thin at cutting it is an
easy matter then to apply the manure
where most needed. BY following
this method up Systematically patchy
meadow land can be made even and
regular.
Even the strawy manure that has
not been entirely composted will give
good results. The straw protects the
roots of the grass from the hot sun.
and helps to retain the moisture in the
soil after each shower. About ten
good loads of manure to the acre ap-
piled several years in succession will
make such difference in the Weld
that one will be surprised

narrowed over lightly, will tend to

certainly should be done for few

BY handling our hay field in this
way we can crop them more years in
succession than if we neglect them.
SIX successive crops of good timothy
IS something unusual, aud yet that is
Just what this system will do every
time. The question is whether the
labor of spreading the manure in late
summer will not pay if such results are
obtainable.
This year hay is apparently going
to be high. Already prices are tend
ing upward, and holders are keeping
their old stock for further advances,
The coming crop will not be largo
one unless more rain falls. We havo
had for that matter number of wears
lately when good hay paid as we'll as

find it the most remunerative on the
farm. Good timothy hay, however,
can be raised only on land that is en-.

alpaca skirts must be worn with lawns

bracelet and other costly presents
which Miss Mcneil received from the
Queen and royal family on the occa-

Not one of them, however, makes
mention of the fact that the Queen, in
accordance with traditional custom
aud usage, furnished the trousseau of
the bride besides presenting her with
check for $4,000. The Queen does

WINTER DAIRYING.

In European countries dairyiug in
the winter mcnths is made profitable
and the milk kept pure and of excel.
lent flavor by the use of roots for
feed, especially mangels and sugar
beets, but in this country dairymen
are trying ensilnge as substitute for
root crops. Where corn can be stored
In silos for this purpose it will prove
to be much cheaper than roots, but
whether the ensilage will make as
sweet butter is still an open question.
Some dairymen allege that the ensil-
age Is the better feed, but others have
not found it SO in practice. 1t is
quite probable that the difference in
results Is due to the quality of the en-
silage, and when properly stored it
does not flavor the milk, or if only
used as part of the ration along with
grain and good sound hay or other
form of dry fodder.

BREAKING MULES.

When a mule gets to be three years
old he is then at the proper age to be
broken but he should not be worked
hard until four years old. When you
take him in hand to break him do not
be rough with him; be sure to fasten
HIM SO that he does not get away, for
II he once breaks loose he does not
forget 1T, and it renders him more diff
hcult to manage. Mules should al
ways be broken to a wagon with a
horse or mule that has swift walk
they may be broken to walk swift or
slow at pleasure by accustoming them
to either gait at first. The female
mule is considered preferable to the
male, being more tractable and some
say of greater endurance Mary land
