A Dry Gully Fence.

pass from one field to another through
the dry gully. 1t is pretty hard to run
a fence across a small stream as the
first heavy rain is liable to carry it
away. Here, says the Farmer, is a
suggestion for overcoming this diff
ficulty. BY hanging a frame from two
supports placed on either bank of the
gully a swinging gate can soon be
made that will turn stock. When the
gully is dry the gate effectually closes
the opening while in times Of fresh
cts 1t swings out with the increasing
volume of water. The frame can be
spiked together in a very short time,
although il may be framed together if
a more elaborate gate is desired. BY
placing the rails close together near
the bottom such a gate can be made to
turn any kind of stock.

THE GOOD SCRUB.
Find Her Out and Then Keep Hsr and
Breed from Her.

1t would be a good thing If we had
system of testing the scrub cows
that are good mixers. 1t is a fact
that every farmer understands that
here and there in the multitude of
scrub cows is a milk COW of great
value, and COW, too, that seems to
have the ability to pass her large milk
ing qualities down to her progeny.
1t is too bad that any good milking
strains should pass from the land. 1t
must be remembered, says the Farm
ers' Review, that all the present
breeds came out of the great mass of
cattle, and that there was a time when
all cattle were scrubs. The possibili-
ties that we have discovered and de-
veloped in the selected breeds existed
In the undeveloped breeds and some Of
the large milking strains are to be
found in the cows that are without
pedigree. Moreover, many Of these
scrub cows have in them the blood OF
the improved breeds.

POTASH IN CLAY.
Experiment in Indiana, In Application
Of Clay TO Swamp Land.

In Indiana some experiments have
been made in which reclaimed swamp
land was treated with a dressing OF
clay known to be very rich in potash.
1t was expected tiat the potash in the
clay would be made available by hav-
Ing It cultivated in. For two years
crops were grown on soil so treated
and showed practically no results.
Land so treated produced about the
same as check plots OF the same soil
on which no clay had been put.
The reclaimed swamp soil was also
very rich in organic matter, which in
its decay might be supposed TO act
advantageously on the potash locked
up In the clay. TO what extent such
potash is available is a matter not
fully determined
The above may have some bearing
on the practice of blowing worn out
land a little deeper than usual to get
an inch or two of soil in which the
potash has not been exhausted. II the
clay spread on the reclaimed swamp
land did not yield up its potash what
may be expected of the potash in the
inch or two of soil just below the
level on which the pillow has been
wont to run in worn out lands?
II has been assumed that when the
surface soil has been rendered de-
hcient in potash by long cropping, and
there was a potash-rlch soil just be-
low. blowing a little deeper would
make It unnecessary to purchase com.
mercial potash Has this claim. asks
the Farmers Review, been sufficiently
1t is a problem worthy

La Old AppIe Orchard.

The old apple orchard. may be made
useful by getting rid of the grass and
putting some crop into the orchard
that will not take very much from
the trees in the way of plant food,
but that will cover the ground. The
crop should be something that will
not require the orchard to be deeply
plowed, for that will destroy many
of the roots of the trees. In the at,

by severe pruning, except where an
unusually large amount of wood has
been made.

are wide enough so you can drive

LIVE STOCK INDUSTRY.
Good Profit in the Business II II Is
Managed Right.

The live stock industry is one of
the very great industries of this coun-
try and will continue to be such for
centuries to come. The conditions in
this country make the production of
stock one of the most profitable of
enterprises. The lands are as yet
comparatively cheap and hence will
pay good profit in the business of
stock producing, provided the right
kline of farming is carried on in con-
Junction with the raising of the live
stock That right kind of farming
must include the raising of a large
amount of roughage of such a charac-
ter that the farm animals will eat it
almost entirely. If this roughage be
corn or some other plant rich in car
bon 1t is an easy way of transforming
the carbon of the air to the carcasses
of the cattle. With some stock many
farmer can collect from the air free

Loss in Flooded Fields.

During the recent heavy rains we
have noted the large loss of fertility
through flooding of fields. In one large
field where the water was standing
some inches deep, hundreds of piles
of manure were to be seen. The
water in the field had slight current
which was carrying off the manure
from the piles and was also carrying
off other fertility washed out of the
plowed soil. Lack of proper outlet
for the water was the cause OF this
great waste.
