Have a Seed Plot.

A seed plot should be kept b.
every farmer for all his staple crops.
On an area sufficiently large to pro-
duce all the seed needed for next year
he can well afford to spend consider
able time. Out of the plants on this
seed plot he can select the very hest
for the next years seed plot, and the
balance, after removing all defective
plants, he can use for seed for plant
ing his general crop the next year.
This is considered too much trou-
Bile by many, but no greater mistake
could be made, An increase Of twen-
ty-fiye to fifty pounds Of lint cotton
per acre and Of three to five bushels
of corn or oats can easily and quickly
be secured in this way by the result
ing improvement of seed alone.
The same methods should be fol-
lowed with corn, but greater care is
necessary to prevent the mixing of
corn with other varieties planted near
by If the seed corn is to be pur-
chased with which to start breeding
or selection, by all means require
that the seller send you the corn on
the cob. 1t will pay you even If it
costs more, as you will get better

Fall Preparation of Cotton Field.

For the best results the field
should be plowed in the early fall
or winter, not later than The 1st to
the 10th of January, and earlier If
possible.
If the farmer uses an ordinary
plow, then the fall blowing (break-
ing) should be one or two inches
deeper than usual and the burrows
should be set on edge. If a disk
pillow can be secured, use it and pillow
as deep as possible-the deeper the
better. In case a disk pillow can not
be obtained, use a subsoil pillow after
breaking. Following the breaking
pillow with a narrower pillow in the
same furrow is better than not to Sc
cure depth in blowing, but this IS not
equal to the use Of the disk pillow or
the subsoil pillow. It is not advisable
to throw large quantity Of cold sub
soil to the surface at one time. After
wards, during the autumn and winter,
the field should be disked or plowed
three and one-half to four inches
deep every three weeks, being gov
erned by soil conditions. IT is not
well to stir land when it is too wet.
II no fall or winter blowing has
been done, pillow without delay about
one inch deeper than usual and run
narrow burrows to set well on edge.
Disk or pillow again before planting.
Tnlage is manure. The soil gets air
by stirring, and plant food which
would not otherwise be used by the

contact With the fruit. As shown in

size to be easily manipulated by the

freely admit the fruit, a stationary
blade and a movable blade being

rEAsrs THAT LASTED HOURS.
Iona Drawn out Chinese Dinners
When an Esqulmau Is Hungry


Sir Robert Hart, the veteran IN
spectorgeneral OF the Chinese Gus
toms. speaking at q dinner in Lon
don the other day said that he once
in Pelin sat out banquet that lasteo
seventeen consecutive hours. There
were 1875 courses, and he tasted them
all. Mr.. Ward, the American envoy
TO China, who tried to secure an
interview with the Emperor Hieng'
Fung 1859, tells how he was en-
tertained at a dinner that lasted from
noon one day until G o'clock on the
evening Of the day following. The
total number OF courses Is not CIV
en-, but Ward mentions that he mad
to give in after partaklng Of 1873 diff
ferent dishes, "whereupon his hosts
wondered greatly'-presumably al
his alstemiousness.
Probably, however, the Esquimau
banquets last longer than any other
and the quality Of food swallowed is
also proportionately greater. Ross
records that seven OF his party OF ma

ty.three hours, during which time
they consumed 200 pounds OF seal

Orchard Grass For Broken LAM.

L. B., Lylevue, writes: We have a
piece Of rough. stumpy land which we
would like 70 seed to some grass that
will make a heavy underground and
also permanent pasture. The land is
on top of a hill and the rocks are
loose and on top of the ground. Low
would orchard grass do?
Answer by Professor Soule: ! do
not think you will find any grass bet
ter adapted TO the land described in
your letter than orchard grass. This
grass is a strong, vigorous growing
variety that can be seeded to very
good advantage with wheat or oats
You might SOW some blue grass along
with it, If the rock you speak OF as
cropping out is of a limestone foIma-
ton. The blue grass will come on
much more slowly than the orchard
grass, but it will eventually cover The
land with a good sod provided you do
not Craze it too closely. Orchard
grass stands second in the list of graz
ing grasses, and it remains on the
land for a number of years, One OBJ
lection to it is its tendency to grow in
tussocks and form rather an uneven

Experiments in Molasscs Feeding.


The results of experiments carried
out in Germany as to the amounts of
molasses that may with advantage be
fed to horses and cattle are worthy
Of notice. For cattle it was found
that six pounds Of molasses per 1000
pounds live weight is probably the
maximum daily allowance that
should be given. although eight
pounds were fed without evil effects.
Horses that do considerable work
were fed with molasses with eneou-
raging results, the ration being mixed
in the proportion of seven and a half
pounds of corn, seven pounds of bran
and five pounds of molasses. II was
noticed that on this diet horses per-
spired very little during hot weather.
Even when ten pounds of molasses
per day were given to the horses, no
evil effects were noticeable, but some
difficulty was experienced in getting
the animals accustomed to It.
