FARM N GARDEN.
NEED CARS.
The Future of Hay Farming in the
United States.

United States.
Tht desire to cultivate as much land
as possible in order to get the most pos
sible from it has led to general neglect
of meadow and pasture lands. Only
when it is found that the soil had lost
SO much fertility that it would not pay
for cultivating was il seeded down or
left TO grow up with such heritage, both
weeds and grass. as atu provided.
The result is hat 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 sc even when the lGod 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 10 this must be added the en-
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.
Improving the land as meadow and
pasture by manuring ii and still leav-
ing it unplowed 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 II as can be had and sec
what the increased grass or hay prod
uct will be worth. This is lone success
fully in England. Why may il not in the
older parts of this country? The de-
mand for hay is generally good in all
eastern cities. VIII it pay t O 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.
It 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
SlopS dhh SldNS lSluIICS mat lie Idllu
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 somuch
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-
tivator.

Jt IL Clearing Florida Waters OF the
HYacinfh Pest.

hyactntn rest.
Nature is doing the work hat man
has thus far failed to do in clearing the
rivers Of Florida of the water hyacinths
that INCEST that region. These plants
have filed the streams and in many
places have completely INSTRUCTED navi-
CATION. The situation grew to be SO
serious that the state asked the govern
ment for aid and an officer of the army
was detailed to study the matter and
report a remedy. Meanwhile a little
red spider has been Matching out on
the hyacinths themselves and has be-
come so numerous hat it is hoped the
cur has been found. The spider feeds
plants and in n short time after the
insect has attained its growth the
hyacinth dies and floats away, its roots
no longer INTERVIEWING with those of
its neighbors to cover the stream with
m almost solid surface. Bunches of
the hyacinths bearing the spiders have
been distributed through the waters
that are most seriously INSTRUCTED and
it iG believed that in the course of a
year or two the now choked streams
will have been restored to commerce.
Science should now seek for the proper
sort of worm or bug or fly TO cause the
destruction of the Russian thistle that
makes miserable the lives of the farm
ers in the northwestern states. If such
n cure could be found for this pestif-
erous plant, which has already cost
several millions of dollars in ruined
crops and fruitless efforts at eradica-
ton, the people of the Dakotas and the
neighboring states would offer up
heartfelt thanks. These two plants.
the hyacinth and the thistle, have
proved parallel banes to life and,
strangely enough, neither is native to
America, the thistle coming from Rus
STA in a shipment of grain and the ny
acinth having been brought from Ven
ezuela by the proprietor of a Florida
summer hotel for ornamental purposes.

Worms Among the Bees.

When worms are found in a colony of
bees it is a pretty good sign that the
colony is a weak one, for a strong col
ony will kill the worms and keep the
hive free from them. 1t is easy to dis
pose of tine worms if they get a start
in the hive. Take the frame out of
the hive and whenever you see the gal
lery of a worm get after it with a sharp
bit of wire or 4 thin. sharp stick. and
dig it out and dispatch it. The Italians
are the best about keeping worms out
of their hives, and if the colony is one
that is worth saving it will soon free
itself from the presence of its cnemy.-

HINTS FOR

Vaseline is a fine remedy for sores on
the horse.
Good management with stock is that
which insures a steady growth.
Soaked corn, instead of meal. may be
fed to the pigs during summer.
Feed the pigs when weaned one-third
cornmeal and two-thirds shorts.
The horse that works six days in the
week earns a rest on the seventh.
nl-itting harness is to the horse
like an ill-fitting, p~inching garment to
a man.
1t is claimed that hogs will eat sofa
bean hay as eagerly as a cow viii eat
clover hay.
Pigs that do not have enough good
milk will be stunted. Feed the sow
beautifully.
Keeping a horse on corr alone in sum-
mer is like building a fire in the parlor
stove in August.
Cow pens, unless wanted for pasture
alone, should not be planted on rich or
naturally moist ground.
Ground wheat mixed with milk pref
ty thick. or as thick as will pour, makes
excellent feed for the pigs.
1t is a good plan, says a writer. to
feed corn to the sows and pigs-soaked
corn-before the pigs are weaned.
The bicycle has undoubtedly injured
the livery business, and consequently
been an injury to scrub horse breeding.

COB COAL FOR HOGS.
It Keeps Their Digestive Apparatus
In a Healthy Condition.

III HleuAths OOhuItIOns
There are many farmers who fail to
make a success of making coal from
-corncobs, and therefore the following
explicit directions are given: Save the
ccbs and store them in a dry place, to
be burned when time permits. Aside
from the good care we give our pigs,
we attribute much of their general
health to the continent prescribed
herewith, which seems to keep their d.
gestiye apparatus in a healthy condi-
ton.
One who raises from 100 TO $50 pigs
of corncobs for charcoal. Make a pit
Az to 5 feet deep, ~ to IS inches in
diameter at bottom. AZ to 5 feet on top.
Have a sheet iron cover made large
enough to cover the pit and project
six inches over the edge. Start a fire
in the bottom with shavings and add by
degrees a bushel of cobs, and let them
get well aglow. Then add three TO four
bushels more, and when well on fire
add more. and so on, until the pit is
rounding full. If they burn faster on
one side than the other side lift the side
that is burning least with a pole. If
you have an old iron rod long enough
lay it over the center of the hole so as
to keep the sheet iron from sagging.
When all the cob are we'll aglow. even
blazing freely. cover the hole with sheet
iron and seal the edges with earth. air
tight. and leave it until the next morn
ing, when the charcoal can be taken
out. and if the job is well done there
will be from nine Il twelve bushels

as hay or grain. A log pen has been
made, as illustrated, that serves the
purpose admirably. The logs rest upon
a foundation of stone or wood, the
lower log being one foot from the
ground, and three logs on each side, the
extreme height of fence being not less
han Az feet. On the leeward side of
the stack pen a permanent and durable
manager can be easily made from small
poles. This may extend the entire
length of the pen, and be built up on one
or more sides. The straw is thrown
into it directly from the stack, and, if
a ration of hay or straw be fed at noon,
it will prove equally as valuable. the
only objection being that it is located
out of doors. 1t is far more economical
than to throw the food upon the
ground or in the nearest fence corner.
