Many farmers know that cut hay, or
even straw, wet and sprinkled with meal
is a better feed for working horses than
whole grain and hay. In this shape the
nutriment in the feed Is easily eaten and
digested. Horses do not need water
when eating, except as it is put on the
chopped hay to make the meal stick to
II. The meal, being fine, digests per-
fectly, while much Of the nutriment in
whole grain Is lost. Again, the wasted

much detracted from the strength which

necessary. The distance between the
posts and the number Of wires to be
used depends on the stock to be in
closed.
Three or four sharp barbed wires
driven tight will easily turn cattle.

3 u
the extent Of altogether ignoring hne
lines Of stock and grain; a farmer will
succeed best with what he likes best
and with that Of which he Is most
proud There is but one way of puri-
Tying seed wheat that has become mix
ed with undesirable heads; this method
is picking" or selecting heads true to
type and name. But this is a more
critical business than appears at first
thought; not only must the length Of
the straw, conformation of the head,
and its color be closely observed, but
heads thus selected may hide within
the chan a very different grain; it is
necessary then to resort to experiment
tai hand Smelling to preserve the uni-
formity of berry. This to many farm-
ers may seem bookish and impractical
bic, but it is the only method pursued,
and the man who buys pure seed pays
some one else for this special care and
labor. Such work, in addition to the
tangible result, which is a very small
start of superior seed, identities a man
with his business and gives him an in-
sight that casual handling does not
afford. Besides, such procedure Is GER
tain in its results while buying at a
premium is uncertain and may even
result in a worse seed than ones own
mixed product. Another case brought
TO our attention was that Of an intel
iigent farmer who went through a bad
" winter killed field Of wheat and Sc
lected those stools which had best re-
sisted the u~nfavorable conditions. BY
this method he claims to have secured
a more hardy stock Of seed; this result
seems very plausible. Farmers have
not time to magnify and comprehend
every trife that comes to their notice,
but it is advisable that they have a
correct appreciation of what consti-
tutes a trihe, and Of other seeming tri-
fes, which really afford the intelligent
approach to their business .-George p.

DREAD POTATO BLIGHT.
Agricultural Scientists should Use
Their hest Endeavors to stamp
Out This Disease.

The potato blight is a point that our
scientihc Investigators ought to work
at until they can help the farmers to
master the conditions. The expert
ment stations do not seem so far to
have done more than explain the ma
ture of the pest. Bordeaux mixture is
recommended; but it must be borne in
mind that Bordeaux is not so much a
remedy as a preventive. So far as we
can get at the subject now, it seems
probable that farmers will be doing the
right thing by spraying their potatoes
all summer-beginning as o as the
first of July. The loss this year is sim
ply enormous, striking out the profits
Of many farms altogether. My own
plan has been to dig up potatoes as
soon as the blight shows on top. I
then give a thorough drying and store
in dry bins, in a well ventilated cellar.
Rot will not develop in the cellar, if
the rooms be thoroughly dry and clean

who says: 81 counted on my potato
