Hay crop about seventy por cent Of al
average Drought has been very severe
in this county. Pastures not suffering so
badly as the grass fields but are beginning
to be quite short Pastures are being
somewhat improved by cutting the bushes
Pastures mostly too stony for cultivation
One correspondent reports good results
from the practice. Area of grain about
the usual amount, More mixed grains
for cattle feed Much larger acreage of
corn, usual quantity of potatoes All
looking as well as usual at this season
Knowing how to use the road machine
better, has led to quite an Improvement
in the roads.
In making brief summary Of the re-
plies of our correspondents for the State
we conclude that the hay crop will be not
far from ten per cent below an average
that it will be OF more than the average
quality and that it VIII mature somewhat
earlier than usual. That the pastures
have afforded more than the usual amount
of feed, not having felt the dry weather
as much as the fields, that there Is quite
q shortage in the amount Of young stock
being summered and that in some places
soiling is to be practiced more than for
merly. But few efforts at pasture i'm
provcment are noted. The rotation OF.
pastures is on the increase, in localities
where it is practicable. The condition
and amount of grain and hoed crops in
dictate that more than the usual amount
will be harvested. There being noted
increase in yellow corn, potatoes and
mixed grains. The sentiment in favor of
better roads is quite strong and we look
for decided stand to bs taken on this
question in many localities nj no distant
date

No rotating pastures with field crops on

acreage of grain, all looking finely. Much
ahead OF last year. Tota, acreage of hoed
crops some more than last year. with
large increase in yellow corn. All look

proved by having more experience with
the road machine, by adopting the mon y
system, and by removing loose stones.
Penobsroi County.
Hay crop more than three fourths of
an average. Much damage done by
drought. Pastures not suffering so bad
ly, plenty OF feed on account of the small
amount of young stock. Larger area Of
grain than usual, most of the increase be-
ing mixed grains. Condition reported
good, except in one instance Increased
area of hoed crops, most OF it being pota-
toes, all kinds looking fully up to the
average. New methods OF road building
are the purchase of road machines, widen
ing the roads, and filling in wet places
with stone and gravel thus providing for
drainage

EconomY of Time.

Economy of time should be a farmers
constant study. How many of your
readers know how to.manage fall work
to good advantage? Anybody can ma
nure and pillow field of oat stubble,
but how many can and do manage to
pillow their corn stubble in the full?
Yet by that means the green stubbles
will rot better and quicker than to
leave them TO dry and harden all win
ter; the same with the green weeds and
their seeds-they make chat much fer
tilizer instead of the usual annoyance.
corn cutter and shocker, by which
means n man and team, with boy
to drive, can cut and shock six to
ten acres per day, leaving shocks
of hundred or more hills in compact
rows one way across the field. This
leaves nine-tenths or more Of the land
to be MANFRED and plowed before the
corn crop really leaves the field, Civ
ing employment to teams that are
usually idle at this season. 1t also
leaves the corn crop in compact form
to husk and draw off. These matters
l believe to be of great Importance
and not generally understood in all
sections reached by your journal, Any
hint that will help the farmer will
help the worlds best friend as he is
helped and encouraged, so will all the
rest get benefit. w. Burr, in Farm

With the chilly autumn days the
housekeeper will look to her woolens
which have been carefully slowed
away in camphor and taxpayer during
the summer months. Every garment
must be carefully examined and
brushed, so that II even one moth has
survived the summer season he may be
at opce destroyed. The furs that are
to be made over or dressed e.laid to
one side to be lent to the furriefs; the
flannel underwear is looked over and

be ready to put on when necessary.
Coats and heavy dresses that arctic be
also donned with the arrival Of severe

HERE AND THERE.

No self-respecting farmer should
keep a dunghill cock under any cir
cumstances. When this folly is per-
petrated it simply shows that GER
tain class of people are not all dead
yet.
Sheep are great weed destroyers,
but they should not be kept solely for
that purpose. When kept for wool or
mutton, or both, goodly supply Of
suitable food is needed, or failure re-
suits.
Chickens that have ample range.
and of breeds that fully enjoy such
enlarged liberty, are the most profta-
BILE, because they get large amount
of free lunch, and keep healthy and
strong by rustling.
1t Is a remarkable fact, but none
the less true, that the successful farm.
ers are readers of agricultural papers
and agricultural literature of all kinds.
They make study of their business,
and by keeping posted on what others
are doing in the farming line are al
ways able to take advantage Of i'm
proved methods.
Alfalfa should never be planted in
an orchard. The roots go deep down
into the subsoil and forage where the
roots of the trees should have sole
sway. The roots of alfalfa penetrate
far below those of the tree, cutting off
their supplies, and weakening or TO-
tally destroying them.
