tee Day filed his preliminary report
on street improvement. Both were
ordered filed and the mayor kicked,
fearing the reports would be buried

ways and means.

from the Promotion Association was
asked if his association would CO.

ed to represent the trustees and to

POULTRY A SIDE LINE.

Poultry for the farmer should only
be considered in the light of side
line, but should be made one of the
distinct and substantial branches, and
given the same relative attention as
the cattle, horses or hogs. OF course
we cannot all be horse fanciers, hog
fanciers or cattle fanciers, nor can
we all be chicken fanciers, but there
are very few farmers so constituted
mentally and physically that they are
entirely unfit to give poultry the nee
essary attention demanded Of sue
cessful farm flock. Intricate knowl-
edge of the science of breeding is not
necessary; all the fowls need is good.

FALL FLOWING KILLS GRUBS.

The white grub, which is the young
of the June beetle, is especially trou-
blesome in fields newly plowed from
sod. Strawberries set on such land
suffer severely, and for that reason
growers often set them on land the
second year from sod rather than the
first. Other standard crops like corn
are apt to be affected to some extent.
Pasturing of hogs is one method OF
greatly reducing the number of grubs.
Fall blowing is another plan which is
quite effective in severe seasons

YIELD OF POTATOES.

The Journal of Agriculture of Ire
land notes some experiments cover
ing a period of four years on the
sDrouting of late potatoes, where the
yearly average gain in yield due to
sproating before planting ranged
from fifty to eighty bushels per acre.
Such large increase would not, how
ever, apply to average potato grow
Ing in the United States, since the av-
erage yield of potatoes here is much
smaller than it is in Ireland.

NATURE SIRES.

Breeds of swine have been injured
% certain degree by using ;-nimals
for breeding purposes that were not
fully mature. Experiments made
with mature sows and young sows
show that the cost of raising pigs
from mature sows is much less than
from younger dams, while the losses
of pigs were also greater when the
dams were young. 1t has been
claimed that liability of swine to
cholera ana other diseases is likely
caused by the use of immature ami
mails for breeding purposes.-Epi-

ROTATION OF CROPS.

The doctrine of the rotation of
crops has been preached for three
quarters of a century, yet the knowl-
creased much. We take up our poor
est mowings, plant with potatoes and
corn, and seed down again with oats
or wheat. and in this way have, it is
true, a sort of rotation. But it is
sometimes done in haphazard way,
without much intelligence and with
less system. Experience, where ex-
perience has been gained by careful
experiment., has shown that certain
courses OF certain crops, treated in
a certain manner, are best adapted to
certain kinds of land. The rotation
for heavy land must be different from
that for lighter soils. Yet the effect
of tile drains upon heavy land is such
that these alone make a great differ
ence in the rotation and their results.
Tile will make the meadows better,
and keep them in fine sweet grasses
longer; yet at the same time they
make it so much easier to get them
into grass after tillage, that they en-
courage a rotation of grain and hoed
crops such as is not thought Of with
out them. Let lis aim to sell nothing
off the farm that will impoveTish the
soil, unless we are sure Of price
that will make all good. Let us re-
member the good rule: NO manure,
no crops; no cattle, 10 manure -
