Winter Oats and Crimson Glover

Mr.. E. II. Bancroft, of Kent county,
Del, writes to the Country Gentleman
as follows:
Our season being fully two weeks
late we have but just finished harvest
ing "a acre9 of green winter Oat4 and
crimson cloVer-l50 tons haye gone
into the silo, the rest for hay. The
two plants grow together, and reach
the proper stage of maturity at the
same time, while the feeding value of
the two combined is better than any
other we have ever tried. With the
clover we have tested the mixture of
Italian rye grass, wheat and rye, and
find winter oats alone satisfactory for
this mixed feeding.
This crop has determined for US that
the first half of September is the proper
time to sow. On block of Z acres
sOwn early in August, the oats made
too much growth last fall, and as we
could not pasture, they were largely
winter killed, though the survivors,
with the clover made a heavy crop. A
five acre block, sOwu about September
18th, after sugar corn, was magnificent
yielding an immense crop of the best
forage. The remainder of the % acres
was sOwn after taking off crop of COW
peas from October lst, to October 3lst,
and while the oats did fairly well, the
clover failed to get we'll established in
the fall, and stooled but little in the
spring, making there but moderate
crop, and without the desired proper
tiOn of clover.
This $50 tons of eusilage will feed
my 80 Jerseys four months, when we
shall store 440 tons of corn and COW
peas for the next eight months. Per-
haps your mathematicians would like
to figure little on this: As acres of
naturally thin, sandy loan soil was
planted in June '94, with corn and COW
peas, which fed 80 Jerseys . months;
October /, '94 to June, '95, from 90
acres of the same land, there now comes
enough ensllage to feed the herd four
months more, besides "a good many big
loads of hay. The other 20 acres, aud
many more besides, have a good crou
of crimson clover seed nearly ready foI
the harvest. This double cropping
goes on every year. rendered possible
for us only by the introduction Of Grim.
son clover.
We buy phOsphOric acid and potash

the COW peas store nitrogen from the

rest. On this plan our 140.acre farm.

THE LOGS LEAP.
A Woodn ans Wonderful Escape From q
Threatened Death.

We were rolling logs down bluff into
the St. John river, below Grand Falls,
said lumberman. The bluff was about
40 rods up from the river steep and worn
pretty smooth by the log rolling. A log
started over the brink would roll with
tremendous velocity down that sharp de-
scent. Toward the foot of the hill there
was slight ridge, and now and then a
log would strike it and go bounding into
the dir and land well into the river.
1t was a dry time that May, and the
rolling logs made dusty work. The dust
was so thick sometimes that we almost
lost sight of the logs before they reached
the bottom. If a log was started right, it
generally followed a pretty straight course
down the bluff, but once in awhile
crooked one went Slowing, or another
would get the advantage Of the rollers
and start off end first, and SO roll on
curve and generally not reach the bottom,
but lodge perhaps half way down. Some
one would then have to go down and dis
lodge it.
One day crooked log slowed and
lodged Tim Field went down to straight
en- it and send it on its course. While he
was engaged two men came up with log.
Tim to get out of the way, balancing
their big log with their ''peevics."
They were bending forward, watching
Tim, when somehow one of the ''peeyies"
slipped, and the log started. The second
man withdrew his tool to savo himself
from being hurled along with it. A cry of
alarm broke from them.
"Timl Oh, Timl Look outP'
There was no time for the poor fellow to
jump aside, and no human power could
save him from being crushed by that huge
descending log. We stood, horror stricken,
peering over the edge of the bluff.
Downward rolled the log, a cloud Of
dust rising in its wake. For a dozen rods
it rolled, gaining velocity as it descended,
and then suddenly it struck a rock or
some obstruction and gave great bound,
high over Tins head, and struck the
ground below, whence it rolled and tum-
bled to the foot.
Tim was untouched.
Although we rolled thousands of logs
down that same bluff, never saw a sec
ond log bound into the air like that ono.
1t seemed to us that the hand of Proyi-
dence had interfcred Montreal Star.
