A North Hatfield tMass.) farmer
writes to The American Cultivator that
he is feeding 3S head of cattle and that
he harvested 1900 bushels of ears of
corn from 8 acres aside from his nine
acres of tobacco. His son is graduate
of the agricultural college and is cap
ital farmer. He gives formula for top
dressing moving lands as follows: -Four
hundred pounds Of cottonseed meal, 200
pounds muriate of potash and 40 pounds
of nitrate Of soda to the acre. The
whole cost is about $40 The nitrate of
soda gives rapid growth to the grass,
which prevents injury from dry weather
in the spring. Apply as early as the
land is dry enough to drive over in the
spring.

The Plausible Lie.

We resent oalumny, hypocrisy and
treachery because they harm us, not be-
cause they are untrue Take the detrac-
ton and the mischief from the untruth,
and we are little offended by it. Turn
it into praise, and we may be pleased
with it. And yet it is not calumny and
treachery that do the largest sum of
mischief in the world. They are contin-
ually crushed and are felt only in being
conquered But it is the glistening and
softly spoken lie, the amiable fallacy,
the patriotic lie Of the historian, the
provident lie of the politician, the zeal
GUS lie of the partisan, the merciful lie
of the friend and the careless lie of each
man to himself that cast that black
mystery over humanity through which
we thank any man who pierces, as we
would thank one who dug well in a
desert. Happy that the thirst for truth
remains with Us, even when we have
willfully left the fountains of it.-John
Ruskin.

Feeding Potatoes.

1t Is possible that in absence of other
roots feeding few--very few-potatoes
to COWS may be beneficial, but my ex-
perience in feeding them in any consid-
cradle quantity is bad. 1t was awfully
hard work to get the butter to come
from the cream of COWS that had been
on potatoes, and the potatoes were to
blame, for when they were taken from
the COWS the butter came all right.
When they were again fed, the same
trouble was met with. Then the butter
was hard. think that have seen the
complaint made that butter from pota-
toes was live salve. But mine was hard
so hard that you could not spread it.
I fed altogether about two bushels to 10
COWS twice day, mixing them with
grain. No more potatoes to my COWS,
says the writer Of the foregoing in The
Western Plowman.

new Points About Asparagus.

Two new points in asparagus culture
are brought forward by contributor to
The National Stockman and Farmer.
The points are to remove from new beds
all female or seed bearing roots as soon
as the incipient berries appear and to
cut in old beds all female or seed bearing
stalks before the seeds mature. These
troublesome shoots grow largely, posi-
bly, not entirely, from seeds dropped
from the pretty but misohievous little
red balls with which the foliage is dec

appear if no seed is allowed to ripen.

When Pork Is Cheap.

When pork is cheap, salt it down.
The Farm Journal In giving this advice
explains as follows Careful experiments
prove that pork sailed in brine and kept
for six months to year loses little or
nothing in weight, and experience dem
onstrates that at some time during the
year salt pork invariably brings a much
higher price than fresh pork during the
glut of prices. Unlike eggs, there is lit
tie or no risk in keeping pork. and the
profits in the risk are sure.

Cotton Seed AS Feed.

Sends out the following: 1t may be adj
visable to use moderate quantities of
cotton seed in connection with corn or
Kaffir or where the chief reliance is on
corn or Kaffir slower or prairie hay. The
hulls, which can be bought at low prices
at the cottonseed mills, have considera-
Bile feeding value, but are not suitable
as the sole food of any class of stock. 1t
will be found advisable to mix the seed
with grain or other food rather than TO
feed it alone. The lint left On the seed
may be considered Objectionable, but it
very rarely causes trouble. except with
hogs 1t is not advisable to feed whole
cotton seed to hogs.

during the present century has been
without parallel in the history of any

COVERED BARNYARDS.


How These Compare With Open Yards.
Objections Against Them.
The decomposition Of manure under
cover, for which covered barnyards are
chiefly recommended by their advocates,
presents the most favorable conditions
for the propagation Of any germs of dis
ease which may have infected herd OF
cattle, according to American Cultivator,
which advances the following opinions
When manure is composted under cover,
its temperature is raised generally to
something more than blood heat No
better seed bed for the propagation of
germs of all kinds can be desired than
this So long as the manure keeps moist
these germs stay in their place. But in
evitably under cover, unless artificial
watering is resorted to, the moisture in
the manure pile becomes dried. As the
farmer says. the manure fire fangs'
and when handled breaks up into fine
powder, which in a close, darkened room
flies about in every direction. lodging
on walls and holding in this dust the
germs of every disease that has been
propagated in the fermenting manure
heap Is 1t any wonder that the tuber-
culosis disease has ragged most among
the stock kept most carefully, by which
is usually meant the most artificial and
unhealthful conditions?
We do not condemn keeping animals
warm, either in stables above ground or
in underground Easements. Whatever is
necessary for the comfort of animals
must be secured in inclement winter
climate. But trying to save manure by
composing 1t in the same room with
the stock is something that never ought
to be done. The composing should al
ways be done out of doors. The manure
if kept moist, always will decompose its
vegetable matter into moist mold that
will help to hold Ammonia instead of
into dry ash that will dissipate it. In
stead Of providing covered barnyards to
hold the manure 1t should be brought
outside the barn into the open air each
day.
The man who works comfortably in
the open air during the daytime needs
shelter and protection at night. So, too.
does stock. It is the attempt to preserve
stock from exposure at all times, rather
than keeping 1t warm and comfortable
during hours of sleep, that is objected
to. Giving some exercise in the open
air each day is an essential to preserving
health in all animals. It is because the
covered barnyard makes this difficult
that we are opposed to 1t. BY keeping
the open barnyard well Uttered with
straw there will be little waste of ma
nure. The advantage to health of pro-
viding place for farm stock to freely
exercise in will more than oounterbal-
ance any possible but not probable waste
of manure from such cause.
