The CARE OF PASTURES.
Difficulties In Natural Manuring -Impor-

I am safe IN saying that hree=fourths Of
the growing animals Of the United States
fail to make any gain for a time in the

Is an extract from a letter written by
one Of the wide awake farmers Of Hi
nois 10 Country Gentleman. and urging
the importance Of green fodder crops to
use when the hot, dry weather dries and
shortens the pastures. On the subject Of
natural manuring he says.
None Of our farm animals distribute
their manure over the groand as we'll as
is desirable for the enrichment Of the
land. Sheep are the least faulty in this
regard. The hog is not inclined to de-
posit all of each evacuation III a mass,

In the agricultural department Of the
New York Times il Is noted that while
Connecticut tobacco growers are still
discussing the propriety Of using artiti-
cial heat, of gathering the leaves sing ly
and stringing shem ON wires and are in
state of mind about insect damage
under present methods, the southern
growers are far ahead of them in every
part Of the business and have adopted
all the improvements. They actually set
their plants by machinery grow leaf
that will fetch from N to 10 cents a
pound and gather the crop by carefully
stripping each leaf on fiat, thin pad
die, SO that it is not touched by the
hands, string them on wires attached to
bars hung in houses warmed by flues,
which cure the leaf III the most perfect
manner i'll few days. The heat is reg
ulated by swinging guides that defect
the warm, dry current just where the
leaves need it, and thus the whole crop
is cured at the same time in most per
feet way, and no disagreeable little bac-
terium or other invisible or unaccount-
able thing of whatever kind or degree
comes to make the yellow leaf tobacco
grower afraid

These potash 'ertilizers contain potash

Generally speaking, where orchard
grass has once been sown on farm the
land Is never after entirely free from it.
Yet this grass is easily killed when
plowed. Its perSistency comes from the
fact that its seeds scatter easily, and that
they retain their vitality long time
when covered too deeply In this they
are like the clovers, both red and white
Each of these will appear on land where
no seed has been sown for years if the
plant has ever been allowed to mature

tarred paper between the boards
The outside covering may be of five
eighths inch novelty siding, or may be
sheathed diagonally and shiugled or may
be covered with corrugated iron. Before
the covering is put on there should be Il
thickness Of tarred paper spread over
the studs from top to bottom. Every
joint should be over stud and should
lap, say, two inches, and be we'll nailed.
The silo should have one or more dor
mer windows, with sash hung so as to
swing in. They should be fitted with
suitable bolts, etc. The valleys and
joints of dormer and main roofs should
be we'll flashed with good tin The open
ing of silo should have jambs fitted to
receive boards as they are required in
filling or using from the silo, The in
terror should be given a good coat Of
hot tar and pitch.
The estimates of material and labor
as found about Lansing, Mich, make
it appear that this silo, 24 feet in diam
eter and "a feet 10 inches III depth. costs
nearly $780, but in many localities the
cost would not be SO great

In pamphlet on siloS and ensilage
Mr.. James W. Turner presents the speei-
fication and estimate Of cost for the coli
struction of a circular silo Of POI 63 tons
capacity. A capacity Of this size is suit
able for the maintenance of about 30
cows or the equivalent of this i'll any
other stock. The construction is such
that this capacity can be greatly in
creased without increasing the diameter
of the silo by simply adding to the length
of the studding.
Exeavate trench for wall not less than
3 feet deep, of sufficient width to allow
the wall to be laid, without the earth
touching the stone until the mortar is
set Throw the earth from the trenches
to the outside This will be used to
grade and fill around the building The
wall should start from solid ground or
a bed of concrete and should be we'll
built of large stone i'll the manner of a
barn wall. The mason should see that
the bond tmbers, of 2 by hemlock
plank, sawed on the outer edge to ra-
dius of ~ feet, are firmly bedded in the
mortar and III a perfectly level position.
Bolt the bond timbers to the walls by
means of quarter inch bolts "a inches
long, turned up at the bottom, with not
less than three bolts to each length Of
bond
The carpenter should see that the bond
timbers are ready for the mason, aud
that the plates will be placed not more
than 16 inches on centers; the opening
should be about feet wide and triple
studded; the opening should be SPAWNED
by at least ten quarter inch bolts of suf
ficient length to bolt through the three
studs on each side; the bolts should be
fitted with large washers; all plates and
rafters should be thoroughly spiked to
their bearings; the plates should break
all joints by as nearly half their
lengths as possible; the roof boards
should be laid not moro than y inches
apart and fastened by at least two nails
To every bearing. Shingles should be laid

The lining (see section) will be made

Wind Cured Hay.

Progressive farmers are claiming that
in curing hay the aim should be to dry
it through the agency Of the wind rather
than through that of the sun When
cured through the former agency, it
preserves its green color IN marked
degree and also much Of the aroma
which renders it SO palatable to the
stock

How They Manage to Sell tho Best and

Also Feed the Best.
One Of the few articles which the ex-
treme northeast exports is hay and nat
urally considerable care is given to this
crop. The old saying, You cannot
have. your cake and eat it too, is multi
fed i'll the case of the hay crop, accord
ing to Maine correspondent, who
writes as follows TO Rural New Yorker :
We cater to the Boston market, to
which we send our long, coarse timo-
thy. The best To feed is the finer tex
lures, superior for cows and better than
the coarse for horses. SO we sell the best
and feed the best The common rotation
is grain, with occasionally hoed crop
| followed by grain and grass. The more
progressive farmers sow the mixed
grasses and value clover at its true high
value. All land, to grow clover and
timothy, must be MANFRED or fertil%zed,
and while a few keep up the grass after
it begins to run out, with plaster or
a top dressing of manure, the custom is
to let the grass run down pretty fine
and thin, then break up and reseed.
Most of our land is now moved by
the machine. The moment it is fairly
dry it goes into the barn. In my own
practice after getting the hay down, and
usually it Is coming down III good
weather AT all times of day so as to keep
enough on hand for the loading crew, it
is raked into windows after 3 p. IN.
and left that way in good weather till
about 9 the next morning. If rain
threatens, it Is put into tumbles. After
9 the rake Is again taken out, and if the
windows are quite heavy they are turn
