GREEK cpors for sheep. — -
There are several useful green crops
iat may & S rowa * or summer
>eding of sheep. Of these, rape is
robabiy the most valuable. White
ustard is another that is frequently
ft-o w n for this purpose. By the cul-
li t e of such crops a flock of sheep may
j,- e pt at a very small cost and with
[ueh Ljl,od benefit to the laud. It is a
of green manuring to which
. added the profitable feeding of the
the manure of which is worth
the costs of growing the crops,
» s pe and mustard both are sown in
ifl l8 spring as early as may be and
<^ re ready for feeding late in the sum-
icr, tiius preparing the land for a
crop. Or a spring crop may
M e grown, leaving the pasture for
feeding. Tare8 or vetches is an-
very useful crop for this pur-
and may be used as a preparation
>r a following grain crop either in
e fall °r the spring. These plants
ill grow on any kind of soil if it is
prepared by good ploughing and
Arrowing. The quantity of seed is
pounds of rape, ten pounds of
ustard and two bushels of vetches
■ tares per acre. All these crops are
cellent for cows and may be cut or
died by the roots for them and fed
the stables or yards under a sys-
of soiling. Tares make very

TRICKS OF MILK SHARPERS.
I The quiet manner and even secrecy
which certain New York milk
are extending their resources of
into sections where milk
is an entirely new thing leads
ie New England Homestead to
autiou farmers in such noighbor-
oods about believing all they are
by milk sjjeculators. Tho scheme

liberal prices for a month or
but usually avoids making speci-
contracts for a longer period.
the farmers have changed over

unable to bear the expense of

mercy. Meanwhile the dealer

THE CONSTRUCTION OF SILOS.
From an extensive investigation of
by F. II. King of the Wisconsin
some points are here given
the station bulletin, which may
of interest to many and which ate
on his examination of 93 differ-
silos. As a result of hi9 observa-
and experience the author be-
that the silo should not be less
twenty-four feet deep and either
or square as practicable, be-
“these forms give the greatest
with the least amount of side
In the construction of silos careful
should be paid to the area
surface exposed in feeding the
si age. Silage wastes much more rap-
when fed from the sides than
from the top, and hence it follows
that the feeding should be in general
from the top. Tho proper horizontal
area of the feeding pit depends upon
l be amount of silage fed daily, and
bie rate at which the silage becomes
seriously injured when exposed. The
spoiling j s certainly more rapid in the
shallow than iu the deep silos, and
more rapid when corn or clover is put
!!! ^hole than when cut, because it is
itn P088i. le to feed the surface down
i8 evenly and keep it as smooth.
believed that the silage should
be lowered at least two inches daily,
10 d that three would bo better. Tak-
n " l hree inches as the depth fed daily,
^' ,ri r as the number of animals, 150
.
uais as the feeling period and 1.5
cubic feet as the amount feed to each
animal daily, a round silo 17.5 feet
inside diameter and 37 feet deep would
be required. The same conditions
would also be met by a round silo 22
feet inside diameter, 24 feet deep,
with a partition through the centre.
Where all the silage can be fed con¬
veniently from one point and a large
amount must be stored, one silo with
partitions is not only much cheaper
but better tliau separate structures,
for tho rouud silo with partitions
makes less corners than the rectangu¬
lar ones do. Two wide thicknesses
of boards with paper between them
makes a better partition than tho two.
inch plank, which appear to be more
commonly used.
At present pricos there is no mater¬
ial which can compare with wood in
cheapness of first cost and if a mode
of construction can be devised which
will insure permauency to the frame-
work and at the same time give
an effective service of say ten years
to the lining, the essential demand of
a material for silo building will be
met by it. Only sound and well-sea¬
soned lumber should be used._[New

"WHAT IS FERTILITY WORTH.
Whenever a new piece of virgin soil
is opened to market there is a wild
rush of settlers to stake their claims,
however undesirable the locality may
be. It is the unconscious testimony
of the seekers after this new land of
the value of its fertility. Yet almost
necessarily so soon as the new land is
brought under the plow, the settlers
go to work chopping and selling,with
scarcely any thought of returning any¬
thing to the soil. As a consequence
after a few years crops begin to fail,
and the land is no longer worth the
labor required to make it productive,
except close to cities and large vil
lages, where manure supplies cau be
obtained.
There 1° a natural limit to the. value
of improvements that can be profitanly
put on land. Its productive capacity
is the only means we know for deter¬
mining that limit. Increasing the fer¬
tility is therefore the first step in farm
improvement. Make the land richer
and all other improvements will fol¬
low in their course. More labor can
be applied to rich land, better stock
can be afforded, and better care can be
given it. There is reason in the objec¬
tions of thousands of farmers against
their purchase of thoroughbred stock
for breeding. If they bad it and only
gave the food and care they now do
their present stock, it must soon de¬
generate.
Soiling stock iu summer and feed¬
ing it largely on grain and silage in
winter are the means required to keep
thoroughbred animals from deteri¬
orating. But these means are only
possible on rich land. Something per¬
haps depends on a good location; but
it is mainly m the facilities it affords
for maintaining fertility. With pres¬
ent transportation facilities stock can
be grown as well on cheaper land re¬
mote from cities as in their vicinity.
Yet fertility is worth more near the
city,because there when crops exhaust
the land can be found the means of
restoring its wasted fertility.—[Bos¬
ton Cultivator.
FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
The pure breeds are simply the re¬
sult of careful selection.
Improvement costs but little when
pure bred males are resorted to.
In summer trees give shelter from
the burning sun and iu winter from
the catling ivinds.
