Oats should be out for fodder at •bout the same stage of growth that other grasses are out, which is when in bloom or very soon after, writes a correspondent. If eut too early the fodder will be hard to cure, and if cut after the kernels have attained muoh size the fodder will be poorer, beside being liable to mnoh injury from rats and mice in the mow in winter. This rule holds good millet'and for time of cutting oats, barley, wheat for fod¬ der. Bye should be cat before it blooms, as it becomes tough and un¬ palatable very rapidly after i it xeaohes the blooming stage. Wh en the weather is favorable I have found it well to let these coarsW, heavf fodders lie a day or so to wilt after catting putting in the tedder.

Of aQ the erops for the market gar¬ den, especially if conveniently situat¬ ed to a large city, asparagus is one of the most satisfactory, because it is easy to cultivate, easy to gather and easy to sell. The land should be heav¬ ily manursd and\ worked up to a depth of at least tea inohea. Trenches are then opened up to a depth of nine inches with a plow. The plants should be set about three feet opart in these trenches, and enough earth packed about the roots to oover them well, and the harrow will complete the job, throwing to a little additional earth upon them as it to drawn lengthwise over the rows. This work may be done to the fall or spring. At the end of ihe season the trenches will be partiaHy covered in and during level the next four may be cultivated leaving the roots eight or nine inches below tityg surfaoe of the ground. should Every spring the whole surfaoe receive thorough cultivation with the plow amd harrow, and be well ma¬ nured.

If grace, seeds and insects are abundant, and the chicks can have access to a run or field where they can assist them¬ selves after they’toe abandoned by the hen that hqtobed them, the cost will at least be at a minimum. Experi¬ ments have demonstrated that the food required to produce a pound of poultry meat should not ex ceed five cents. * In the summer sea¬ son three cents will cover the cost of the inorease<of each pound fn weight. If the chick reaches two Sand a half pounds weight the cost for food should not exceed eight cents. 1 Will it not paylhen to cents? expend Granting eight cents that to procure fifty the chick may sell for only ten profit cents a pound, there is still a large in proportion to food consumed. Many farmers are frightened at the low ptioes without considering the low cost of food and the small amount of labor required, and they oease ing chicks after warm weather sets in, which is the very time they are in the best condition for meeting suooesa.
