Weeds not only impoverish the soil
but they shade and occupy the ground
to the detriment of other plants. We
are all familiar with the serious effects
of spring weeds on the growth of near
ly all kinds of crops produced in mar
ket gardening. How, if care is not ex~
ercised. they choke the slender onions,
just from the seed and cause the
young beets and parsnips to become

PASTURES NEED CARE.
The Future of Hay Farming in the
United states.


The desire TO cultivate as much land
as possible in order TO get1he most pos
sible from it has led to general neglect
of meadow and pasture lands Only
when il is found that the soil had lost
so much fertility that it would not pay
for cultiyating was it seeded down or
left to grow up with such heritage, both
weeds and grass, as nature provided
The result is that most of the land now
in grass is by that very fact discredited
as being presumably fit for nothing
else. Yet there is in all grass land a
constant tendency to increase in fer
tility. 1t is so even when the Land is
left to grow up with the weeds and
bushes. These shelter the surface, hold
the leaves that fall on the land from
being blown away. The decomposition
of these leaves gradually builds up the
soil, and to this must be added the ex-
crement from animals fed on the herb
age which the soil is still able to grow
Usually when the Improvement of
grass land is determined upon the soil
to be turned under and rot is regarded
as an important part of the soil assets.
pasture by manuring il and still leav-
ing it uupiowed is hardly ever thought
of. Yet as in most cases the grass land
is, even with manure. not quite rich
enough for profitable cropping, the ex-
pertinent is worth trying of applying
to il such manure as can be had and see
what the increased grass or hay prod
uct will be worth. This is done success
fully In England. Why may it not in the
Older parts of this country The de-
mand for hay is generally good in all
eastern cities. win it pay to fertilize
grass lands so as to make the growing
of hay profitable? If it will not pay TO
maintain fertility in grass land, the log
zeal sequence is that all hay or grass
taken from it helps to reduce fertility
so that the soil will be worth nothing
for the production of any kind of crop.
1t is likely that in the future, as in
the past, most of the hay crop in this
country will be produced in the years
when the rotation between cultivated
crops and grass requires that the land
be seeded. Our climate is not moist like
that of England. Hence it cannot keep
a good sod so many years without plow-
ing and reseeding. This also is so much
the best for cultivated land that there
need be no fear that the profits of cul-
tivated crops will SO lessen the amount
of land in grass that there will not be
hay enough to feed with grain and
coarser fodder, nor that it will fail to
be supplied at reasonable prices-Cul-

UNLOADING FODDER MADE EASY.


acting in the capacity of binding pole.
To unload, fasten the ropes to beam,
and with the team draw the wagon
slowly out from under the load. The
first time may not always prove sue
cessful, but with a little practice the
wagon may be unloaded in a few min
utes.
The ropes should be so laid that they
will not catch to anything. The fod-
der must be placed evenly on either
side and the distance apart of the ropes
is to be determined by practice. In I'M
loading, if the fodder is heavy, the front
end of the rack must be tied to the wag-
on or the hind end placed almost di-
rectly over the hind wheels, as the
weight of the fodder is liable to tip up
the rack. In tying the ropes to the
beam or post, do it high enough to pre-
vent the drawing downward upon the
fodder. They should be of equal length,
which may be regulated by one man
drawing down on one or the other while
unloading, as he finds it necessary. The
team must be driven slowly. 1t is best
to practice few times on quite small
loads and notice the effect upon diff
ferent ways of loading and the place the
fodder is to drop, by loosening or tight
ening the rope.-Farm and Home.

STORAGE OF GRAIN.
Care Must BE Taken to Insure Its
Keeping In Good Condition.


On the average farm it is nearly al
ways necessary to store more or less
grain. Oats for seed and feeding, wheat
for seed and exchange at the mill for
-four, as well as to market. Wheat is
cash crop and can be turned into
money at any time; it is often as good
plan to store the wheat in the granary
and sell as the money is needed as to sell
direct from the machine, when the
threshing is done, and then put the
money in the bank.
But it is essential when grain of any
kind is to be stored away that pains be
taken TO store in such a way as will in
sure its keeping in good condition
This granary should be clean, well-ven-
tilated and as nearly vermin-proof as
possible. separate building will gem
orally supply these conditions more
fully than any other.
If new granary is to be built, the
work should L2e done in good season, 50
as to be sure to have it ready when the
threshing is done, as there is always
more or less loss every time that small
grain is handled, and it is quite an item
to handle it as little as possible.
The granary should be built with the
igor well up from the ground, set on
pillars; put inverted pans or sheets Of
iron over each post to keep out rats and
mice; have a good, solid floor and be
sure that it is tight. Have good ventila-
ton at the top. The size must, OF
course, depend on the quantity of grain
to be stored. but it is best to have plen-
~ of room, SO that in case it is necessary
to store damp grain there viii be room
to stir it about.
With an old granary a thorough clean
ng out should be given, and it will be
better if the inside is thoroughly white
washed, using a good lime wash into
which small quantity of carbolic acid
Jr copperas has been stirred
1t is hardly good economy to start
crop in such way or under such CON
ditions that it will not be reasonably
sure of keeping in good condition.
There is always some loss in storing
grain; ii is quite an item to make this
as small as possible.-St. Louis Pepub-

Few seasons Ago.
There is a slight reactionary effect
against overlooking the dinner and
luncheon tables with decorations. On
grand occasions it is more usual to see
the table dressed with white cloth of
finest 6amask on which the floral dec
orations rest. This gives opportunity
for individuality in the arrangement of
the flowers about the table, and the
prettiest effects ever made in table dec
orations are done by the means of a
tasteful arrangement of ferns and
flowers on the cloth.
Embroidered center-pieces are by no

ton is TO limit them to everyday use.

How Manurc !. wasted.

There are two ways in which stable
manure is most likely TO be wasted.
One, the most obvious, is the wasting
by rains, which VIII wash away all that
is soluble in ii. But the other, less
thought of, is even more dangerous
though unseen. That is the wasting by
the passing away as ammonia of all
the heterogeneous parts Of manure The
ammonia is very volatile. Pour some
into a saucer and leave IL exposed TO
the air, and most of it's strength will
disappear after few hours. II some
potash Is put with ii that will absorb
part Of it, turning it, if the potash be
caustic, into saItpetre. But the far
greater part of the ammonia is given
off by decomposing manure heaps and
escapes into the air, where it becomes
useless as fertilizer.
