HAYlNe TIME
Eight Tons an Acre.
JOHN ASHLEY.

II is said the average crop Of hay per
acre is one ton for the first moving
and if the weather is favorable a half
ton for the second The selling price
for this amounts to about S2I, the cost
of producing and harvesting H.
In contrast 10 this. there Is the case
OF a man who had n small village farm,
devoted to a garden, a bit Of lawn, an
mere Of grass land and an acre reserv
ed for crops for his horse and cow
From the grass land he averaged be
tween eight and ten tons of hay and
as his methods OF seeding and care
were very simple and easy TO imitatc
It may be of interest 90 know some
thing Of them In detail When the
property was FIRST purchased the new
owner started in to improve it, going
over the grass land with "A double ac-
ticn cutaway harrow twice the first
week i'm half laps and the second time
Mt right angles to the first lie COntin-
lued TO do this until August, when the
foul roots remaining were rakcd ont
land burned. An eight foot smoothing
was next used until the surface was
true The land was then plOwed with
a twenty-four inch cutaway plow TO
depth of six inches. the disk being set
Mt considerable angle. Then the sur
face was again trued as before. Final
~ the field was narrowed weekly until
the 1st of September.
Final Preparation.
The land being level, it was left bare
until spring and then was narrowed
again and sowcd TO oats to be cut for
hay. When this had been harvested the
field was gone over twice i'm half laps
with double action harrow, the second
time at right angles to the first. The
second week 1t was plowed and har.
rowed and after that narrowed weekly
for four weeks. followed by one more
plOwngs On Sept ! fourteen quarts
each of timothy and recleaned redtop
were sown, and before narrowing I'm
the seed COO pounds OF the following
mixture Of commercial fertilizer were
carefully and evenly broadcasted: Nj
trate of soda. GO pounds; muriate of
potash. 240 pounds; bonemeal. 300
pounds The piece was then narrowed
in four directions with a smoothing
harrow. The following April the land
was rolled and 450 pounds of the fol
lowing fertilizer spread: Bone. 100
pounds; potash. $50 pounds; nitrate Of
soda, l50pounds The result Of this thor
Ough preparation and care is evidenced
in the splendid appearance Of the grass,
although It has been seeded six years
Soon after the first crop had been cut

broadcasted, and these two applications

HELPING OUT PASTURES BY
S0IlING CROPS
IAReo vAN wAeeNEN, Ja.

Thoughtful dairymeu realize that.
while in northern states cows are In
the field five months. yet there are
only about six weeks or two months
when pasture alone is sufficient 10 en-
able them 10 do good work. so pro.
gressive duirymen are adopting some
plan Of supplementiug pastures and
thus maintaining a better flow of mill,
throughout the year There are vpri
Gus ways of doing this Merely feed
ing grain i'm connection with scnnty
pasture is expensive and unsatsf1c-
tory. The cost Is too great BESIDES.
what is needed is some form Of fresh.
succulent food rather than dry grain.
IL Is possible TO plan n succession ~
sOiling crops which maintain con.
stant supply of green food throughout
the summer. He may plan rye sowu
IN the fan TO furnish green rye iu
early spring. This may be followed
ten days later by green wheat which
may be followed 10y alfalfa. which can
be fed until the first cutting of red
clover When the clover begins TO
harden plot OF peas and oats will
just be coming into head. and If there
have been two or three sowings OF
these a week or ten days apart they
will last until the early corn is ready
to feed and the corn-nrst the early
and then the later varietes-will last
until frost. Il would even be possible
to add a crop Of rape to feed until cold
weather
Summer Siiage Best.
Now, the foregoing is a very fine
theory Of COW Feeding. but 1t doesn't
work I'm practice. Some crops may be
partial failures and some may be used
before the next is ready; also. soilng
cows means cutting and drawing
green food every day regardless OF
weather conditions or what other
work presses. All these considera-
tions have led the writer to feel that
there is just one best way to supple
ment pastures. and that is by feeding
when needed corn silage put in the
previous autumn.
There are several reasons why this
is the best way. One is that the pos.
sible food production from an acre Of
corn is much greater than from these
other crops Another is. it is possible
TO put this corn In the silo Just when
II is at its best. whereas other crops
Will frequently he either too green or
too ripe just when we need them.
The difference i'm labor between go
ing for load Of green oats or throw
ing out n supply Of silage from a con
venient silo speaks for itself.
The better dairymen we are the
more we shall feed cows in addition
TO pasture. and summer silo is the easi.
est way to provide the needed feed.

INSTINCT TO RETURN THANKS
Feeling That Is Universal Among Man
kind-Has Root In knowledge
Of Dependence.

The impulse to return thanks for
the bounty of nature has been prac-
tically universal among mankind in
all ages and in all religions. II Is as
natural as the instinct that inspires
the hope Of Immortality Of mans
dependence upon a supreme being.
1t is one with the involuntary appeal
that springs unbidden to the lips OF
all In the hour OF crisis when human
help can do no more.
1t is a coincidence worthy of
thought that the one nation which set
aside a day for national thanksgiving
should be the people above all others
most blessed with peace and prosper
ity. Grumble as we may at the short
comings Of our civilization, however
we may think VI affairs should be
ordered better, we should reflect that
at no time in the history of the race
has there been a people in possession
Of greater advantages, of more gener-
ally diffused abundance, with more
| encouraging prospects than ourselves.
The problems that confront US are
in our own hands. We will solve
them eventually and others as they
arise. We may stumble, may mistake
the path, may be compelled to turn
back to get on the right road, but OF
our ultimate progress there can be nc
doubt.
Let, therefore, each for himself and
herself, return individual thanks to
day.

GRATITUDE FOR
DAILY BLESSINGS
Beautiful Festival Of Thanksgiving
Has lts Origin In the Recognition OF
the Beneficence and Protection Of
the Great Creator.

- RATITUDE Is . word that COM
prehends tho happiness OF the
- human race. 1t turns the heart
toward tho Fountain of All Good and
90 makes possible q greater recep-
tivity and q greater Joy. Without
It even glories of heaven could not
confer happiness. and all tho sweet
amenities OF life would fail. With
It the humblest home may be blest
with angel visits, and n step up
ward from tho depths Of grief may be
fraught with q new-found Joy.
But shall we be grateful for the
mere incidents OF life and forget to
be supremely grateful for life itself?
We murmur SO much at the condi-
tons of life, and on a reluctant con-
cession We admit that this Is better
than that, and so we express our
feeble thanks-praising the beauty OF
a single leaf while murmuring ut the
tree that bore 1t.
Are you truly grateful for life? Are
you glad that you were born? Do you
accept your life from the hand oil
God as his richest gift-the %containan'
Of all other possible blessings?
Life Is a wonderful gift-the mos
wonderful and the most blessed gift
that the Infinite God could plan fol
the objects of his love. We have
hardly begun to learn how great i
is. how great 1t can be. Beginnini
at birth, and through childhood
youth and age. 1t stretches out int
the realms Of Eternity-ever grow
ing vaster and yet more vast in 1t
approximation Of limitless possibil
tiles. II you had not been born 20
would never have known life-th
sum Of all blessings.
The unqualified acceptance Of III
with all its mystery and pain, all 1t
labor and WEAKNESS, and yet all 1t
sweetness and Joy, and all its later
potentiality-that is and forever mu:
be the basis Of true gratitude, the on
great theme for thanks. Unless yo
are grateful for life itself you canne
be truly glad for anything that lii
contains. But being grateful for III
itself adds a tinge Of celestial glor
to every simple blessing and make
F. Today akin to the vast Forever.
