To Help Out Pastures.

The Vermont experiment station
has for many years experimental with
sundry soiling crops, and as a result
Of its work recommends to Vermont
dairymen the large use of summer
silage and of oats and peas sown at
weekly intervals and fed during July
and August. Silage is probably the
cheaper food; oats and peas somewhat
the better. If the former is cOntem-
plated as steady summer diet for
years, 1t would be well to consider the
erection Of special summer silo, pref.
erably round, with small feeding
area, a small diameter and relative
ly great depth. Silage spread over a
large surface in summer, spoils rap
idly and loses largely in feeding value
II oats and peas be chosen they
should be sown in successive lots at
weekly intervals, the two sown sepa-
rately, the peas first rather deeply and
narrowed in; the oats two or three
days later and bushed in. A better
catch is likely to be secured in this
way than If sown together. The croI
may be either fed green, hayed or put
in the sllO.-New England Homestead

Covers For HnY staclss.

A farmer of Jewell County, Kan,
says the covers he made for his alfalfa
hay last fall cost him $50, and that
they preserved more hay than you
could put in n thousand-dollar barn.
He sawed sixteen foot 2x as in two,
bolted the ends together, placed
them six feet apart over his stacks
and nailed on siding, making com
plete roof in siX-foot panels. He
bored holes in the down-hanging ends
of the 2x4's and tied weights TO them
to keep the wind from blowing them
off. His alfalfa comes out as green
and bright as it was the day it was
put up. He says the covers paid for
themselves this season, and they Will
last for years

Rice ana Population.

In deciding whether Chlna's popula-
ton is dense or sparse it ought to be
remembered that the country produces
rice. Countries which produce rice
yield at least two crops year. Coun-
tries which produce corn, on the other
hand, only yield one crop year,
Therefore, approximately 10 its extent,
II country which produces rice ought
to support at least twice as large n
population as country which pro
duces corn.-Scottish-Amerlcan.
