WK have not yet discovered the

increased four hundred jh r cent., but
we notice that Messrs. Hiram Sibley
A Co., of Rochester and Chicago,
who are tin- largest seed growers in
the country, if not in the world, were
wie enough, and patriotic enough,
to appear lie fore the Tariff Commis
sion, and denounce the attempt to
lay this onerous burden upon 7,000,.

the handful of seed growers. For
this action we commend Messrs.

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."

Fall Caro of Calves.
I.lvf*-Bt,, k Joorusl.
It often happenh that calve* make
a fair growth in the early pvrt of the
season, while they get whole milk, or
even a plentiful supply of ekiminefl
milk ; but when these are wit tdruwn,
it suddenly, they are not able Vo keep
up condition, if they have he en
supplied for some time with a good
pasture, or fed green food, or hay in
racks, and become accustomed zr:wl
ually to depend upon such food, they
will not fall oil' much in condition.
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

more than one pint of oil meal | r

and middlings mixed Is fore tin* milk

Oats are an excellent, food for
calves, and they should be taught

This extia fixsl will pay the grea r,-l
profit, for it will add, as a gt nt mi
rule, two dollars to the value of the

Fertilizing EHoetn of Drouth.
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.

—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
