sUPPLEMENrARY CROPS.

have some times thought that al
most every farmer succeeds well along
the line of his standard crops when
seasons are good or prices are right,
bat when the unexpected happens only
the few who are always alert aud wide
awake are prepared for the emergency.
The winter may have been little
longer than g, pected, grass little late
in coming 80 there was doubtless a
shrinkage in weight Of stock and pos
siblY entire loss. This seriously fleets
the profits of the years farming. Bat
this is in the past I'd the thing to do
now IS to provide against quite com
mon loss that occurs IN midsummer,
the dry spell' of the year, for it is
pretty sure to come.
The extreme dry weather in the in-
terror last year will undoubtedly have
it's effect On meadows and pastures this
year and there will be a shortage.
There are many crops that can be
sown or planted that will make extra
feed to cut off, to supplement- the pas
lures for few weeks and thus save
loss Common corn, sweet corn, millet,
turnips, pumpkins, and others fill up
the season, but we think nothing so
good as some Of the sorghums. A busbel
of the common sorghum seed sown
broadcast CT drilled On acre of ground
would be as good an investment in this
way as we could suggest. The K5ffir
corns are splendid for this purpose,
either planted with four to six times as
many stalks as you would of corn, but
not 80 many more in hill, but have
the rows closer together and the stalks
closer in the row, Or you can SOW it
broadcast one half to th2 ee fourths Of
a bushel per acre.
W. E Hutchinson, OF Kansas, gives
my opinion exactly when he saye:
Those who have tried it one year like
it; those who have tried it two years
praise it. and those who have tried It
three to five years pity your ignorance
if you have never found out alb ut il. "
Five pounds will plant an acre.

GRASS FOR PIGS.

Exercise, good air, and sunshine
play a much greater part in pig rails
ing than most people commonly sup
pose It is for this reason that the
western practice of relying quite large
ly on grezing for the nourishment OF
swine is so successful, says Farm News.
This has never been so clearly dem
onstrated as by a series of pig feeding
tests extending over four years, made
by Mr.. q. A. Mills, of Utah. We give
the results below:
l. Pigs allowed to run at large over
eighteen acres of good pasture and fed
full ration Of grain made the most
rapid growth end required the least
grain for one pound Of gain.
2 Pigs confined in movable pens in
the pasture grew more slowly than
those running loose, and require d an
decrease of twenty per cent. Of grain
t. make one pound of growth.
8 Pigs at pasture, fed under three
different conditions, gained 90 per
cent. more and ate but two per cent,
more than the Pigs getting grass and
otherwise similarly fed, but confined
in pens. The grain rs quired to produce
one pound of gain was increased forty
per cent. with those in pens over those
in pasture.
1 Pigs fed but part ratiOns of grain
at pasture made satisfactory gains.
Those at pasture getting the three
fourths grain ration gained more than
those fed full grain ration and grass,
either in the yards or il the pens.
Pigs pastured without grain made
about the same growth for three sea
sons il succession, this averaging SO
Of pound per day.
6. Asnearly as can be judged, exercise
alone increased the gain 22 per cent >
and the amount eaten but per cent !,
but decreased the amount required for
one pound gain % per cent.
7. Grass when cut and fed green to
pigs, whether fec in pens or yards, or
With full Or part grain ration, or with
out grain, proved TO be Of very little
value.
Pigs confined in pens and fed on
grass alone, mostly lucerne, for 81 days,
lost over a quarter of pound per day.
The average of the pigs fed on
grass gained little more than those
without the grass, but not enough to
pay for the extra feed in the grass.
10. With the pigs COL fined in the
hog house pens, the grass proved bene
fetal, while with those in the yard it
proved detrimental, the latter requir
ing more grain to make a pound OF
pork with the grass than without it.
II. Pasturing either with full or with
far the cheapest and best way of max
ing pork.

neighbors as to the cropping of hay iG-
poverishing the soil; the Southern
farmer believes in letting it rot where
it grew. Ibelieve in cutting it, and by
so doing 1 improve the quality Of the
soil; because the stubble growth 1t
afterwards makes has fifty roots for
the one it previously had, and by
ploW wing under this stubble, roots and
all in the fall of they ear after all growth

more than the man who allows his hay
to rot where it lies, and pIows his land

spring crop, and have hay for my
stock ali the year round and they are

IN few minutes. Let the p7le be oiled
or painted, and be Kept under shelter
where it will not spring by being ex,
posed to alternate rain and sunshine.
Now, in order to measure an acre of
land, multiply the number of rods (or
the l2ntbs Of tie pole) On one side Of
the plot by the number Of rods on the
end of the plot, and divide the product
by 100, the number of square rods in
one acre. Fer example: A plot eighty
rods long and two reds wide will make
one acre. 4 plot forty rods long and
four rods wide is equal to an acre. A
plot twenty rods long by eight rods
wide will embrace 16) square RODS,
equal to one acre. A piut twelve anG
half rods on each side, il the lines run
at right angles, will embrace (approxi-
mately) q square, or 156 q1are rods.
When g. plot is not lined cut at right
angles, it (the square ploO will not en-
brace as much ground, although the
length and width are the same as there
is in the equare plot. A fourth of an
acre, or even tenth part Of an acre
may be lined out with the angles so
acute as to measure as many lineal feet
as the length and side cf q square acre
One can make a rude fquare of two
piec ces Of laGh that will enable him TO
line out land at a right angle, unless it
is important to proceed with the accu-
racy Of surveyor, indicated by his
compass.- Massachusetts Ploughman.

THE DAIRY.
BUTTER PRODUCTION

Correspondence of The Progressive Farme
For q Good many years there has
been a tendency towarde the factory or
creamery system of butter making
that the belief has become quite com
mon that more butter was being pro-
duced IN this country that woy than
on farms. Bu5 the follugjng from
STATISTICS OF the Dairy" Dy Henry E.
Alvord, Chief OF the Dairy Division,
gives information cn the subject that
will surprise many. It is as follows:
The most noteworthy fact in con-
nection with the production Of butter
on farms is that, notwi shstardlng the
gceat extension Of the creamery sys.
tenn and the decline in the amount of
butter annually exported, such prCduc-
tlon has increased even more rapidly
than population. To go tack to the
census Of 1850, il is found that the total
production Of butter on farms in 1849
was 313, 345 306 pounds, or 13 81 pounds
per capita Of population. In 1860 the
amount reported wae 459 G81 372 pounds
or 1892 pounds per capita. In 1870
the amount reported was 514 O92 663
pounds, which gave an average of only
13 33 pounds for each iDhabitaut. Up
to this time there had been no cream
cry butter reported, but in 1880 the
production of farm butter averaged
Is so pounds for each inhabitant, and
that of creamery butter So pounds
for each inhaOiEanb, the total average
being thus 16 C8 pounds. At the
eleventh ceneus, however, the produc-
tion Of butter farms on alone averaged
16 38 pounds per capita Of the popUla-
tion, and such had been the increase
in the production OF butter in creamer.
les that the total production of butter
averaged no less than 10 25 pounds per
unit Of the population"
A further reading of Maj. Alvord's
report shows that III 80 States and Ter
ri.ories, considering the two Dakotes
as one State for the convenience Of
comparison with the statistics of 1879,
there has been an increase in the pro-
duction of farm dairy butter. AS a
rule the increase has been greatest in
the States where the greatest extension
of the creamery system has taken
place, including such States as Wiscon-
sin, Minnesota, Iowa and Nebraska.
With the above facts before us it
will not do to ignore the farm dairy
butter interest. 1t will be seen that
the eleventh census shows that more
than FIVE and one-helf times moro but
ter is made in farm dairies in this
country than in factories or public
creameries. Is not the farm dairy in
terest worth looking after, and will it
not pay to do all that can be done to
improve the quality Of farm dairy but.
ter produced? The writer's answer is,
yes. He believes that will be the an
swer of many. Again is it lot high
time that dairy farmers should or
ganize?

IMPURFIIeS IN MILK,

The processes of manufacturing but
ter from milk have passed through a
wonderful development in recent years.
There is no doubt that the separator
removes some impurities from cream
that other processes of skimmipg milk
would not. The cream from the sepa-
rator is conse equently that much cleaner
and nearer free from dirt, which may
be the origin of lamentations that will
develop a bad quality in butter. This
quality of the separator is no excuse for
carelessness in handling the milk which
is to be skinned by it. Dirt does not
belong in milk, says a writer, and
though the separator may be able to
remove a part, it cannot be depended
on by the milk producer to annihilate
all the defects with which milk may be
inoculated by impurities.

AGRTCULTURE.

Raising ali, or as near as possible, all
your home supplies on the farm, Is the
forerunner Of SUCCESS.
By planting or sowing corn ID drills
three feet apart now you can raise
lot of good stuff for winter forage.
In planning out the home garden.
the great point is to keep the crops IN
rotation so that something can be had
for the table almost every day until
the ground freezes.
Select from the earliest hatcho d
broods the raost forward ard promising
pullets for fall and winter layers, and
send the rest to the market as soon as
ever they are ready. They will pay
better now than to keep and wait for
higher prices later in the season.
For the Southern farmer Or planter
the mule is Indispensable. Unfortu
nateIy, in the past, the planter has
raised too few mules, depending almost
entirely upon the markets to supply
him. He is beginning TO understand,
however, that he can raise good mules
a great deal cheaper than he can buy
them, and every year secs more home
grown mules OF Southern farms.
When the hers are slow to lay, one
Of the best invigora:ors is a mess Of
lean meat twice or three timas a week.
About an ounce for each hen is safi
cient at q meal. Milk, fresh mixed
with ground oats and bran, is another
excellent mixture for inducing the hens
to ley, and clover hay, chopped fine,
scalded and sprinkled With bran, affords
an agreeable change that seldom fails
to give good results. Aim to give the
hens a variety, and they Will seldom
fail to lay.
Hawks are troublesome to poultcrers
in many neighborhOoda, pouncing
down upon young chickens and carry
ing them eff before the watchful hen
can call them to a place OF safety. The
habit of the hawk is always to take a
rest before he swoops down, II a stout
post 10 to II feet high and its top fat
tened is set near the poultry yard the
hawk will use this as his resting place.
Fasten trap to the top of this post
with stout cord, and set it on the top
where the feet of the hawk will spring
1t as soon as he alights. This is an
easy way to kill the worst enemy the
poultry raiser in many localities has.

THE TIME 70 sow BUCKwHEAT

In many places bUckwheat is largely
grown on land that is too wet to be got
into condition for other crops, because
iJ is one that will succeed better with
late seeding than will any other. The
rule used to be to SOW ON or about the
fourth of July, as this late seeding de
layed blossoming and filling until
cooler weather, and thus lessened the
danger Of the blossom blasting without
filing. There is always crop of early
buckwheat from seed that was scat
tered in the harvest the previous year
But we never knew this early sown
buckwheat to fill, except piece that
grew in an orchard where the tree
shade doubtless prevented the crop
blasting, as it would in July if filling
then exposed to the sun. But the crop,
even in the orchard, hardly paid for
gathering, as the plants were checked
by the draw of moisture from the
ground by the trees, and were both
small and thin on the surface But
though buck wheat should not be sown
until about the first of July, it is best
to have the ground plowed two, three
or more weeks before that time, so that
the seed when sown may have an even
start and rapid growth. Much un
drained clay land is every year sown
with buckwheat, because the ground
cannot be got ready for any earlier
