From recent experiments 1t appears
that a meadow will yield about four
times as much feed in bulk II made
into hay as 1t will If pastured. But, as
It is well known that the young, tender
grass of the often-cropped pasture is
more nutritious than the older and
tougher hay, II was found by careful
test that the advantage In nutrients,
digestibility and freedom from cost Of
harvesting, housing and feeding Of pas
tured fields, will nearly balance the
greater yield of hay fields, except on
very high-prlced lands.

A correspondent OF an agricultural
exchange asks for plan Of a hip roof,

impracticable to make such roof

lines, unless the arch Is used in the
framing of the roof. A common form

Grain in the Orchard.

Do not sow grain in the orchard, es
pecially wheat or rye. Oats may be
sown after the orchard Is well grown,
and pastured down with hogs, with
but little bad effect. Never under any
circumstances allow timothy, red-top,
blue grass. or any other grass that
forms a tough sod, in an orchard. When
the orchard Is not in cultivation It
should be in clover; hogs may be pas
tured on the clover.

Cropping without Rotation.

1t Is not alone because it is exhaust
I've that successive growing of one crop
OH the same land is bad practice. 1t Is
precisely the way to breed insects or
fungous diseases, or to extend the
growth Of noxious weeds. There Is not
much successive cropping anywhere
now. The value of rotation so as to in
crease soil productiveness is better I'M
dcrstood. Yet when settlers go to a
new country they almost always crop
soil that has virgin fertility with the
crop that pays best, which is repeated
until the crop begins to fail. Almost
always the settlers on new land are
poor. There are so many disadvant-
ages in removing to the outskirts of CIV
ilization that only those go who have
not the money required to buy farms
anywhere else.

Sell OFF the Poor Stock.

Though food Is cheap for feeding
stock, it Is never worth while to win
ter what even after keeping is sure to
be worth little more in spring than in
fall. The young growing stock makes
a positive gain in size and weight. II
any other stock does not do this, see
to 1t that 1t produces something to pay
its way or else dispose of it at once for
the best price to be had.

DERANGED BY OVERWORK.
Bank Officer who Wandered In
Daxed Condition for Eight Days.

NEW YORK, Dec. %. - The return of
Thomas C. Long, head accountant of the
Brooklyn Dime Savings Bank, after eight
days of wandering, mental and physical,
and the breaking open of the SAFE whose
loaded compartments proved him guitless
of theft, were almost simultaneous.
Long alone knew the final formula that
completed the combination of the little
safe that contained $22, 600, 900 worth of Sc
curities, and it took two expert safe-break-
ers eight days to accomplish what the miss
ing accountant might have done in eight
minutes. A little knot of bank officers sat
last Sunday before the demolished safe in
the bank building at Court and Ramsen
streets, Brooklyn, while the untouched Sc
curities were counted one by one and the
integrity of the missing accountant estab-
lished. In the little home at 1888 Carroll
street, at almost the same time, Thomas
c. Long returned, haggard and weary, suf-
fering from mental alteration. Where he
had been he did not know, nor what he had
done in the eight days. He had been hid
den away so securely that all the police
and detective forces OF Brooklyn and new
York could not find him.
Long entered the service OF the bank
more than thirty years ago. He advanced
rapidly, and soon held high position IN
the bank. His accounts were perfect, and
he worked so faithfully in the service of
the bank that the strain began to tell on
him 1t was not until Dec. IL that his mind
became affected. The regular semi-annual
examination of the bank was made on Dec.
6. Long assisted in the work. He appeared
regularly every morning for work up TO
the end of the week. Long and Mr.. Marcel
lus, secretary of the bank. left the build
ing late Saturday afternoon of that week.
They separated at the entrance. Long dis
appeared Immediately after leaving Mr..
Marcellus, and the record Of his doings
from that moment until late Sunday aft
himself, can fill in. The doctor thinks that
with perfect quiet Long may recover his
