spoke as follows:

Farm Notes.


Although timothy hay Is preferred
for horses and clover for cows. yet
clover hay that has been cut just as the
heads were beginning to turn brown.
and which has been well cured, Is much
more nutritious than timothy, and the
horses will show a preference for It,.
Badly cured clover hay, however, is
distasteful to horses more than to
cows.
Should the melons be slow In grow
ing apply small quantity of nitrate Of
soda around each hill and chop 1t In
with the hoe For beans use mixture
of one pint nitrate OF soda and two
parts muriatc of potash. One of the
best modes of forcing cabbages to grow
is 10 hoe them after each rain or cult
vate so as to have the soil loose and
the ground clear of weeds and grass.
The effect OF clearing away the for
ests Is damaging to crops, not that the
presence of forests causes rainfall, but
because they regulate the fow OF
water. There Is less evaporation near
forests. and the water does not flow
away so rapidly nor cause streams to
overflow mt some periods, while dry at
others. The trees serve as wind
breaks, thus preventing the drying OF
the soil by warm winds during periods
