Plotting Soil.

A potting soil suitable for most
plants is made Of four materials-old
sods, well-decayed COW manure, rotted
leaves or leaf mold, and sand.
The sod should be taken from an old
pasture, either in the spring or autumn.
Strip off the surface from two to three
inches thick, and make heap propor-
tionate to your needs, at least six
months before you wish to use 1t. Lay
the grass side down, Make the heap
long and narrow, and If convenient
work it over once or twice during the
summer or winter.
This soil should be free from stones,
but should not be sifted, except when
used in small pots, say in those which
are less than four inches in diameter.
If there are stones, pick them out when
the soil is ready for use and is being
broken up with the hands and mixed
with the other materials.
Manure is prepared in much the
same manner. Choose it as free from
litter as possible, unless the cattle are
bedded with leaves, which are good.
Make heap in the open air near the
heap of sods. and of the same shape
and size; but more attention must be
given to working this one over and
over.
1t must be turned inside out and out
side in at least once a month during
the time it is rotting. Unless this is
done it becomes lumpy, and difficult
to use except in large pots or tubs. If
treated as prescribed it need not be
sifted, and looks not unlike soil at the
end of six months, or even in less
time if the weather is warm and the
heap is watered occasionally.
Sometimes the sods and manure are
put in the same heap in alternate lay
ers of equal bulk in May or June, and

Hungarian Buffalo Cattle.


The buffalo is a black, shaggy, I'M
couth-looking animal, with rather
horizontally lying head, backward
dropping, short and heavy horns. 1t
is far more docile than it's appearance
would indicate and on account of sew
eral of it's traits it might Justly be
called the mule of Hungary. It's ex-
treme toughness, and, if l may call it
so, it's modesty in requirements of food
and care are it's most remarkable
qualities. 1t is therefore specially
popular in localities where food is
neither plentiful nor good, and every
where it receives the treatment of a
"stepchild" in this respect.
1t is fond of the water and thrives
best in swampy sections-will in fact,
decrease in size IL kept in too dry To-
calities. 1t is very good work animal
in places where speed is not required,
displaying againin this the equanimity
of the mule. The milk is noted for its
richness. The buffalo is raised, in
numbers of any consequence, only on
the low bottom lands Of the Danube,
the Thesis and the Brave, all these dis
tricts being noted for their dampness.
For the same reasons l think he could
be practically introduced into the
southern portions of the United States,
into Florida, for instance, where, as it
is, the domestic cattle do not thrive so
well. There are also a few herds of
specimen buffaloos kept up" here,
with the object of obtaining the quail
ity of the race. First-Class specimens
can be had at from $50 to 500.
The usual manner of keeping the cat
tie here is as follows: In summer they
are allowed the run of the fields; these
not being fenced, the animals are in
the charge of herders, large herds be-
ing under professional herders, while
the women or children look after the
animals of the smaller farmers.
In winter the small farmers keep
their stock in stables. The large herds
are kept in sheds, which are protected
toward the north, while the south sides
are open to allow the animals the run
of the adjoining paddocks during the
daytime; sometimes they are kept alto
gether unprotected during the winter
since the animal can easily stand
weather below zero. But all have to be
fed, Hungary seemingly not having
those grasses from which, as in our
Far West" cattle can make their own
living during winter. The small farm
err feeds cut feed. while the large herds

A speaker at farmers institute in

Is the one which is more widely cult
waited than is any other. 1t will grow
in all parts of the south; it continues

makes the best of pastures, and will
Yield from two to four tons of hay per
acre each year. The hay from Ber-
muda is fully equal in feeding value to
the best timothy and is so fine and soft
in texture that there is no loss from
the coarse and woody stems so common
in many other hays. In 1889, 80, and
81 our experiment station made sew
eral very thorough tests of this hay,
feeding it in comparison with north
ern-grown timothy, and in no case did
we find any superiority in the timothy,
which has so long been the standard
of excellence. A ton of Bermuda hay
is fully the equal of ton of any other
grass hay grown anywhere in the
world. Johnson grass will make more
good hay than will any other grass we
have. Four tons per acre is a COM
mon yield, and the hay is rich, tender,
and nutritious, though coarse in ap-
pearance. 1t makes a hay which is
especially popular among liverymen
and hard drivers. This grass, however,
is not popular among the farmers from
the fact that it is practically impos-
sible to kill it when the land is wanted
for other purposes. When it comes it
comes to stay. Those of us who have
1t find it one of the most profitable
hay plants, but those of us who do not
already have it on our farms do not
want it on any terms. 1t is both our
worst weed and our best hay producer.
Crabgrass is another hay plant which
gives us an abundant crop at a nomi-
nal cost. 1t comes up in our fields
late in the summer, after the crops are
laid by, making the quick and vigor-
Gus growth necessary for the produc-
ton of hay of the best quality, and
will make a yield of from one to two
tons per acre for merely the cost of
harvesting. Some of our northern

Indian Corn in Australia.

although the cultivation of maize is
practically unknown in the old coun-
try, it is largely carried on in several
parts of Australia, especially in Queens
land and New South Wales" says Lon
don Colonies and India" I'm the lat
ter colony the cereal ranks as lead
ing crop, being second only to wheat
in Importance and productiveness, and
forming the staple product Of the num-
erous valleys watercd by the coastal
rivers north and south of Sydney, the
moist soil and warm climate of these
being admirably adapted for maize cul-
tivation. In other districts, not too
elevated, and where the means Of irri-
cation have been provided, maize is
found largely grown, but less product
lively than in coastal regions.
THE cereal is largely used as food
for horses, cattle, pigs and poultry,
and in the dairy farming districts it's
value in the production of beef, pork
and milk has long been unreservedly
recognized. AS an article of human
food it is comparatively little known,
and it is in this respect that Australian
maize consumption differs from that
of the United States, where the cereal
is largely used in the form Of Johnny
cakes porridge and buildings, maize
or corn flour being found in almost
every household. If its use in this
manner became general in Australia
the demand would be found enormous
ly increased.
"At the beginning of 1862 the area
under maize cultivation was $3.50
acres; at the beginning of 1894 it was
205,SS5 acres, having become nearly
Quadrupled in little more than thirty
years, the product during the same per-
iod rising from 1888, sos bushels to T.
O67,576 bushels. Although the crop is
easily grown and there is an abund-
ance of land suitable for it's cultiva-
ton, the local supply is unequal to the
local demand, and has to be supple
mented by imports from elsewhere.
This is occasioned largely by the more
remunerative character of other kinds
ofagricultural crops. In 1893 the guam
tity of maize imported into New South
Wales, principally from Queensland
and New Zealand, was 1854 bushels,
of which only 3,703 bushels were re-
exported. If market for Australian
maize could be found in the United
Kingdom its cultivation would be con-
siderably extended.
IF the fattening value of maize as a
food for cattle, pigs and poultry was
more generally understood in the
United Kingdom large demand would
rapidly spring up and assist in further

Sacaline in Kansas.-Prof. George
son of the Kansas experiment station
reports a trial of this new plant at
that station. He says: "A plant of
such extraordinary productive powers
as stated in the French report, with
possibilities for usefulness as forage
plant, deserves to be investigated We
therefore procured dozen plants from
a nursery firm of New Jersey and
planted them out in April last. The
plants, or, rather, roots, started to
grow promptly, but a mild frost killed
the shoots to the ground after having
reached height of six to nine inches.
One-half of the plants did not start to
grow again. The remaining six sent
up feeble sprouts, which reached a
height of eighteen to twenty inches be-
fore the severe drought of the season
set in-in the latter half of July. When
the hot, dry weather came they ceased
to grow, lost their leaves, and appar-
emily succumbed entirely"

Sheep Industry i'm Patagonia.

Down in Punta Arenas, a port on
Terra del Fuego Island, there is much
enthusiasm over the sheep industry,
says a writer in the New York Sun. A
manager for a French company, own
ing something over 100000 sheep, with
the necessary horses, said that they
made francs (about 60 cents on every
head clear of all expenses from the sale
of wool alone. The increase of the
lambs averaged about 80 per cent of
the ewes, and this was an additional
profit. When told that estimates made
up the coast called for 100 per cent in
crease, he replied that that could be
had only when labor was abundant
enough to care for the lambs when first
dropped. The lamb at birth does not
know anything-not even its own
mother. Such helpless beings need
great care, though after a week or so
they require no more attention. The
long wooded varieties of sheep are in
favor there. A common eve will weigh
from 100 to $50 pounds in the fall. The
lowest average of wool sheared is said
to be seven pounds a sheep. A printed
table of statistics which the manager
carried showed that the average yield
III 1909 III al INC AIBcuIlllC was TT
pounds, while that of the United States
was exactly that Of the lowest yield of
his flock-seven pounds. His range
was considered poorer than the aver
age, but it had sustained two sheep per
hectare two and half acres).
The one disease to which Patagonia
sheep are liable is the scab. This is
kept under by dipping them in various
kinds of baths, the expense for bath
running from $50 to $50 gold per year
for every 1000 sheep. The next great
est expense is for the killing of pan
theirs. A common nights work of a
panther is the killing of sheep to the
value of 500 gold. Every shepherd,
therefore, carries a carbine, and must
be supplied with all the cartridges he
wants. These rifles sell for less money
in Punta Arenas stores than IN New
York gun shops, but the annual ex-
pense for rifles and cartridges on some

Green Glass not a Plant Stimulator
The use of glass of a green tint has
for half a century been a characteris-
tic popularity of the plant houses at
Kew Gardens. In 1889 the experiment
was made of substituting white glass
for green in the east wing of the trop-
ical fern house. This was the result
of the observation of the successful
cultivation by Sir Trevor Lawrence
of ferns with full exposure to the light
at Burford, near Dorking. The i'm
provement in the growth of the plants
was remarkable. In 1892 a portion Of
the west wing was also reglaZed in the
same manner, and the new temperate
fern house was wholly glazed with
white glass. The result with the
Gleichenias and other half hardy
ferns was everything that could be de-
sired. AS the result it has now been
determined to abandon the future use
of green glass altogether.-Bell's
Weekly Messenger.

ranches runs up to hundreds of dollars.
Foxes and species of wild cat make
havoc with the young lambs, and so
these must be exterminated, too. What
with hunting down vermin and look
ing after the sheep to keep them on the
range and to dip them for the scab,
the French manager has to employ a
man for every $500 sheep in his flock.
On the whole, his flocks, numbering a
little over 100000 sheep, cost the COM
pany 100000 francs about 100000 per
year, while the sale of the last clip
yielded 100000 francs about $100,00O,
and the price was not high. In his
judgment it would be very poor bust
ness man who, after starting with a
good outfit and 1000 ewes on the Pata-
gonia range, did not attain an income
of $4,000 gold year at the end of ten
years.
