he had some cribs of corn with num-
Der of stacks Of hay and straw con-
sumed by the same fiery elements and
few years before his barn with several

there is any clue to the villain that is

Heavy Seeding on Rich Land.

The question as to whether thin seed
ing or thick seeding Of grain is prefer
able cannot be determined by any gen
eral rule, Sometimes thin seeding
produces full crop, especially if the
seed be sown early and the season be
such as to induce tilling of the plant
But on very rich land this makes too
luxuriant a growth of straw, which
falls down and makes the grain light
and shrunken. If the soil is very rich
it is better to SOW the grain so thickly
that the plants will slightly crowd each
other from the first. About the time
of heading the plants will draw so
heavily on the soil for moisture that
each will check the growth of the
other, and all will stand up with we'll
filed heads Of grain. But this heavy
seeding will be hard on clover or grass
seed. though not so much so as will the
fallen straw where the seeding has not
been 50 heavy.-Rural World.

The practice of examining hens with
wheat at every ration is the very way
not to get eggs. Too much wheat,
buclwheat or barley will go into fat
rather than eggs and fat is disease in
poultry. The morning mash should be
fed in a long narrow trough about "a
inches wide, nailed to the side of the
house so that the hens cannot jump
into and soil the food. Feed only
enough soft food to satisfy, never so
much as togorge. When hen has had
so much food that she will go into a
corner and NOPE, she has had too
much. and if the overlooking is con-
tinued she will become too fat to lay.
If cut green bones are fed it should be
in the proportion of l pound to every Is
hens. If fed morning and night, a small
feed of oats at noon and night is all
that will be necessary. Experience
will teach the happy medium" in
feeding.-A. G. Gilbert, in Farm and
