W At.no F. llimvN advocates (and practices) growing rye for "long straw," and instead of permitting the grain to ripen, and then "flailing it out," ho cuts just after the blos som falls, and before any grain was formed, lie claims that when man aged in this way, with heavy seeding, the straw makes excellent chop feed for stock, being clean and soft and free from dust. Of course, il is needless to add that it is more nu tritious tlisn wiien allowed to ripen the grain and then is threshed ouL in llic same article he mentions a new use for rye as follows : "It some times happen on our grain farma that qlovef makes a failure, and we find that we are likely to lie left without a pasture field the coming year, and ! our rotation will also he broken up. In this case the remedy is to seed with rye and timothy. They rye will give pasture a month or six weeks eiriier than clover would, and by the time the rye lias become too old to make nutritious feed, the, timothy will futnish good pasturage. Itefoie 1 had tested this, I *op|H>*cd that the young timothy would he badly killed out by tramping in pasturing the rye, but practical experience shows that it ia very little injured. I find that the stock not only relish the rye, hut do well on it, and its growth is ao rapid that it will bear quite heavy stocking." TOTATO tops make an excellent ad dition to thu couqioat heap. Fall Caro of Calves. I.lvf*-Bt,, k Joorusl.

Hut the skillful feeder will strive to keep his calves constantly growing— constantly developing every part of die system. And as milk is with drawn, it becomes important to soh stitute some concentrated food in its place, so that the nutriment may a abundant to.keep up its calf lleih. Any check in growth is at the loss of the feeder, for it will cost more extra feed to regain it afterward. l>e*idew the loss ol time. The pasture, also, usually becomes less nutrit ions, and theie is the more necessity that some | extra food slionld be given. Here, the most impor u lit food that run be given as a substitute for i milk is linsei'it oil ealce or oil meal. ; It is the food piincipalh used for this purpose bv the best Ktigiisli feeders. The calf is rjuite ap- to b.- come eoiistipi.ti'il when the miik is discontinued, and the oil meal is slightly lax at ve, having a snu II i re rentage of oil, which nu* a \eiy soothing elfis t upon tlie sp'iirii u and intestines, it is also vi ry nitroge. nous, being, in this res|-ec'., iind..i to milk.

Indian* lartnef ' Farmers who caivfully observe things connected with their business have not tailed to uoticu that a very dry summer is generally followed by a vigorous growth of crops the fol lowing year. The fact was never more fully verified than in the wheat crop of the pr scnt year. The drought of last summer was severe and long continued—reducing the corn crop of several of the Western States at least fifty per cent., and almost n --tirely cutting ofT the |Ktato crop. The drought was broken by a heavy rain early in September, and the fail was seasonable. Though much of the wheat crop in this section was not sowed until the Ist of October, yet it came up promptly and grew with an unusual vigor, which it main tained, almost unchecked, till harvest ing time. The spring was too cold and wet to favor early corn planting, hut now that the "storin of the leaves" is past, we expect to see a. vigorous growth of corn, cor espotid ing to that of the wheat. Drought fertilizes by two processes. It pro duces a shrinkage,especially in clay ey soils, which causes them to crack open and freely to admit the air, thus breaking down the large particles and reducing the earth to a favorable state of firmness. The moisture evap orated from thu surface is, to some extent, replaced witlf water raised by capillary attraction from deep down in the soil. The water Comes up holding in solution all the sulMUnces iu lite sod capable of being dissolved in water, llut when evaporation Lakes place nothirg hut purr water goea off. This leaves the potash, lime and soluble phosphates in Ihe surface soil, to tfanifewt their pres ence by vigorous growth of the suc ceeding crop. W hat was lost by last year'a drought the dilligent farmer will gain by this year's fertility. This is a world of compensation, if we but understand its checks and balances.

We see it stated that "a prominent sens! house is circulating petitions and working vigorously to induce the TarnfT Commission to recommend a 100 |* r cent, tarrdl on seeds in place of the 20 per cent, tarrilf now in force." We have not, as yet, received a copy of this citoular, nor do we know the name of the house, but we IwoiuiK' theru that if tltey will send u a copy, we will give them a fris? advertisement. Any seed wiling c-- ta I sediment srhich woubl advocate or support suck a movement as this should have its name made known to tfie farmers of the country, wLo hap pen, by tin; way, to be the seeds buy. ers : and if it does not permanently retire from the seed business within n short time thereafter, we miss our guess. T'xiirrhraimn-o should Ire the im mediste work on our clay farms. It it here where the harm to clorer re sults. also to wheat, and to some ex tent to timothy and some of the oili er grasses. M'e have to come to the underdrawing sooner or later, and why not get the lienefit now* There are many excuses, I know, but "where there is aw ill there is aw ay." There is little profit and often loss in farm ing wet clay. Drained, it will in general Ire profitable for several years without manure, sure to pay tlie ex pease of undenlraining in that time. —Ckir. of Country Gentleman, Ykry many men ate now working land Ural does not pay for its culture. Teams are worked down—much is paid for hired help—hands are board ed when the whole crop will scarcely pay the wages and value of board, throwing in the use and keeping of the teams, the implements and the land. We know tins is eo. What is the remedy ? Work fewer acres. Double, quadruple what you have done for each acre worked, curtail expenses hy hiring less help —feeding lese teams—using less seed—wearing out leas plows and harrows—but tak ing fewer hut more profitable steps on (ewer and more fertile acrea, and let the rest lie idle, or sell it.—/W --tieal Farmer, i'Ri'NK in antomn to insure growth, and in apring to Insure fraitfulucss, ia a grape maxim, Indiana is making claim to the largest yield of wheat over any other State. Variety in feeding does more for the animal than excess of one kii.d of food.
