Sow Spring wheat spnrinpIy,

The Indiana Experiment Station has
received many inquiries concerning
spring wheat, and to ascertain whether
or not it can be grown profitably in
stltuted an extended inquiry. From
the reports received Professor Jatto
concludes that it does not seem desir-
able under present conditions to SOW
spring wheat in Indiana. Possibly it
might be experimental with i'll q very
small way. He suggests that farmers
wait until the growing season opens
and perhaps the winter wheat will
rally as it did last spring and produce
n fairly good crop.
If the wheat is killed AMI tho soil is
impoverished in any way, prepare n
fine seed be u witi dis. or sprin :
tooth harrow, SOW clover seed Literally
and roll imme dintely If part of the
wheat remains, use only II spike tooth
harrow which will not seriously dis
turb the wheat, then SOW clover seed
as before, using the roller or not as
may seem best. If the clover does
not catch and it is desired to grow
some other soil-renovating crop. COW
peas might be used. Do not sow
these until all danger of frost is past.

Clover and Crnss.

Wherever it is intended to let the
seeding lie more than two years be-
fore blowing, some grass seed should
always be sown with clover. In fact.
says the American Cultivator we
think some grass aud seed ought
to be sown any way, as failure to get
seeding somewhere else may make il
necessary to keep the field in grass q
year longer than is intended. The
only question is, what grass seed
shall be sown? Timothy is the uni
versal standby. But it is not ready
to cut when the clover is, and it also
runs out after few years, unless an
nuolly top dressed. Orchard grass is
more permanent, but it requires three
or four years to fully cover the sur
face. If clover and timothy and or
chard grass are sown together, they
will cover the land in tho same alter
nation we have named.

Eggs For Early Chickens

1t is a mistaken custom of coma
farmers to sell the first layinp of eggs
IN the spring, because they are then
higher priced, and also partly because
unless extra care is taken of the chicks
many of them will perish from ex
posure to cold and wet Bat this
policy makes the chickens como too
idte to be iirst-rate layers next winter.

so that they will get their winter coat

~ IS very rare that young hens begin
laying during severe cold weather. aud
especially just after they have finished
moultiug But let them be early
enough to lay one setting Of eggs. and
they will, if fed we'll with the proper
egg making food, soon begin 10 lay
again. I'm winter the hens are much
less inclined 90 sit than they are in

inclined TO sit, give them Jumps of ice

stronger Late chickens do not usu-
ally begin laying until spring is fully
come. W is better 60 trust an incr.

for not only is the hens time more
valuable thcn for laying. but she can
not be depended upon TO sit steadily
until later in the season.

grain is ground to fine meal and is
then ready for the stock. 1t contains

material and is excellent for balancing
the ration. The crop is also an ex-
cellent one for soiling and for this
purpose should he cut just before or

Horns on Domestic Animals.

All the reason for horns on any
domestic animal ceased when they
came wholly under mans protecting
care. 1t was all right for the animal
to defend itself with horns while ex.
posed to predatory animals, like wolves
and bears. When cattle run wild, as
they long did in tho State of Texas.
and as they still do on the plains OF
South America, their horns constantly
increased in length aud formidable
ness. But under civilized conditions
there Is no need for horns. In some
breeds they have already been bred
oil. This will doubtless become more
general, as dishorning Mt least the
cows has become a quite general prac-
tlcs. Calves may be prevented from
ever growing n horn by applying n
stick of potash on the head where the
horns would start, aud removing the
hair, SO that the potash will make a
slight sore on the skin.
