WHO IS TaR sLAVEa

Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
A few years ago I was telling q
farmer how took care of my cattle.
had told him that after the morning
feeding if the day were pleasant, they
were let out to drink and sun them
selves for an hour or two, but if it were
stormy or a cold day wind blowing,
they were put into the stable as quickly
as possible; that at noon they were fed
a ration of hay and again let out If the
day were sunshiny to drink and exer-
else until time to put them up for the
night.
Ny friend said: "Well, you are a
slave to your dairy" -
This was pretty plain talk and I
have thought of it many times since;
and it seems to me that about all the
difference there is between success and
failure in dairying at present lies in the
care taken in conducting the business.
Sharp competition has narrowed the
margin of profit until it practically

about this; it is the plainest common
sense imaginable. If we want to get
the greatest possible good from our
business must attend to the smallest
details connected with it. We learn
this very slowly. It may be that we

SOW CLOVER SEED THICKLY.

As this is the time for clover and
grass seeding, suggestions as to the
amount of seed per acre are in order.
It is the poorest kind of economy to
seed thinly. That means on most land
not only a deficient stand of clover and
grass, but generally a growth Of weeds
to fill out the space which the farmer
has left unprovided, for nature abhors
a vacuum, was the observation of the
old philosophers. IL the valuable seeds
are not sown there are plenty of weed
seeds ready for just such opportunities.
Our usual practice while farming was
to SOW fully six quarts of medium red
clover seed per acre on land that had
grown a clover seed crop some years
before. On land where clover seed had
never been grown, one peck per acre,
or busheI to four acres, is none too

There will be novelties in the way of

there is ramie, which can be grown
luxuriantly, and which is used as an
adulterant in the manufacture of silk,
from which it can hardly be distin-
guished. Next on the list is castor oil,

early spring, will be fifteen to twenty
feet high in the fall, with stalk four

much, says the American Cultivator.
The alsike clover seed is smaller, and
will bear to be sown in less amounts,
But the alsike will not grow so large
stalks as will red clover, and therefore
the effect of too thin sowing is to let in
more weeds. The alsike seeds with it's
first growth in spring, and If this is
allowed to ripen some of the seed will
fall on the ground. Alsike and also
red clover seed has the faculty Of re-
naming inert for years, until it finds
favorable circumstances for growing
We have seen good deal Of alsike
clover in a timothy sod three years
old. At first we supposed that it had
been sown with the grass seed three
years before, but learned that it was
from an alsike seeding 10 or 10 years
earlier, and that some of the alsike
clover had appeared each time the field
had been ploWed and seeded since that
date.
We think that farmers generally SOW
more heavily TO clover than they used
to do. They find that a clover seeding
evenly covering all the ground accu
uuulates fertility at a cheaper rate than
they can put ii on the land in any other
way. 1t is time thin seeding on rich
land will grow clover plants so large
that they will occupy the whole sur
face. But this coarse clover is hard to
cure, and if the soil is very rich it will
some times fall and rot on the ground
before it can be cut. 1t is much more
likely to do this than is clover sown so
thicklF that the plants have thin,
weakly stems. The same result is
shown when timothy seed has been fall
sown, the grass checking the growth
of the clover, and both being thinner
stemmed than clover growing alone,
the hay is much more easily cured,
and is, we think, liked fully as we'll by
stock.

AGRTCULTURE.

Every farmer ought to be posted in
law, at least sufficiently to keep out OF
law suits
If stock are allowed to run down in
condition the expense of getting into
good thrift again will cut materially
into the profits.
It is all very well for a man to have
bald spot on the top of his head, it
does little harm; but let him beware OF
one on the inside.
A Michigan experimenter finds beans
a cheap and satisfactory nitrogenous
feed to mix with corn for hogs. He
fed eight tons of them this winter,
thoroughly cooked, and fed while hot.
It is the steady, even going farmer
who comes out best in the end. 1t is
not best to rush out OF pig raising be-
cause of the low market, and then rush
in again when it comes up; yet there
are a great many who do just this sort
Of thing.
AWestern farmer, having kept ABOUT
200 sheep on his 300 acre farm for the
past twenty years, now desires to sell
the f0ck because his land has become
too rich to raise fax, wheat or other OF
the small grains. This Is surely an
unusual reason.
No animal upon the farm requires so
long a time to overcome the effects of
over feeling as does the sheep, and
when a steady gain is necessary in fat
tening, special care must be taken in
regard to this point. There is some
risk IN feeding growing lambs.
The Southeastern Iowa Horticultural
Society has unanimously passed reso-
luton declaring the foreign apples,
pears and plums, especially of Russian
origin, being sent out by Prof. Budd,
OF the experiment station, to be total
failures in that part of the State.
The larger an animal the more it
costs to maintain it, as a rule; hence it
will cost much more, in proportion to
weight, to produce hog weighing 800
pounds than one weighing 100 pounds
consequently there is a larger profit
per pound from the small hog than
from the large one, and the farmer can
keep more small hogs than he can of
large ones.

AS spring time approaches, which is
also the farrowing time for sheep, COWS
and hogs, the advantage of having q
good supply of roots to promote milk
flow becomes apparent. 1t is not true
that roots are cheap in nutrition, for
their bulk and weight is very largely
water. But as an appetizer and to in
crease milk flow they cannot be sur
passed. Beets and mangel worzel are
the best roots, the latter having the Rd-
vantage Of being good keepers, end can
be used up to the time the grass is for
ward enough to furnish good bite.

In the growth of tobacco, Tennessee
ranks fourth among the States Of the
Union in acreage. The total value of
the crop is about 90, 600. 900 yearly, and
the average for several years show that
the production is 7O7 pounds per acre.
About 10, 600 farmers i'm the State grow
tobacco to market, and as many more
grow it for their own use.
The growing of ''Irish" potatoes as a
field crop for shipment has proved a
most important pursuit. In 1879, this
industry was entirely omitted from the
Federal census. Northern farmers will
be surprised to learn that two crops of
potatoes and a crop of something else
can easily be grown in one year on the
same land, and it is frequently done.
Toe second crop is especially esteemed
for seeding purposes, besides keeping
well. Sweet potatoes are also raised
for shipment. Peanuts, all the fruits,
tomatoes and grapes thrive luxuriant
ly. Strawberries are grown as field
crops, and strawberry patch of fifty
or seventy five acres is not uncommon.
The fruit is in great demand in New
York markets. Tomato fields of 100
acres are common everywhere, and
many vineyards have over 5, 900 bear
ing vines.

TWICE FLOWING THE GARDEN.

It is a good plan always to have the
garden fall plowed and left as rough as
possible so as to expose a greater sur
face to the ection of the frost. On this
surface manure can be drawn and
SPREAD while the ground is covered
with snow. The very slight cultiva-
tion needed to smooth the surface and
prepare the seed bed will cover most OF
this manure, leaving it just under the
surface where it will be the most effec-
tive. This earliest planting of the gar
den should be wholly on one side, so as
to give opportunity before the planting
Of later garden crops to ploW and re-
plOw it. No one who has not tried this
knows how much good it does garden
of plow it twice in the spring. The
first plowing turns some of the manure
to the bottom of the furrow, where it
lies loosely, warming and drying the
soil above it. The second blowing
brings up this buried manure, and also
returns to the surface much of the fine
tilth made by frost and which the first
plowing turned under. Soil so rich as
the garden is cannot get too much cul
tivation. Old fashioned as the plow is,
it can be used twice in the garden with
good effect, and the second plow1ng
will often do more than can be done
by any surface cultivation without it.

Some facts worth repeating are very
patent to the observing, enterprising
stockman. Scrub cattle will not pay,
because fed at a loss; they will not sell
at the top price at any time; they have
taken the same care as better ones,
have required longer time to mature,
and, in consequence, have consumed
more food.
