The Vulue of Straw Straw is regarded an valules? on ♦.be piajority of farms—it is accused of robbing the soil of mineral mat ter in excess, and the conflicting claims can scarcely lie reconciled. Straw really takes from the soil valu blc fertilizing material, and also re turns it to the soil wben composted or fed to stock, allowance of course being made for that which is used in the increased growth of the animal. in every 100 pounds of straw there are from fiur to five pounds of ash, the ash containing potash, soda, mag nesia, lime, phosphor ic, acid, sulphur ic acid silica, chlorine nnd sulphur No nitrogen is found, ns it is driven off when reducing the straw to ash, but alien the straw <lct<>uj|>o*cß in the compost heap th- traces of nitro gen, with a proportion of carbon, arc absorbed and partially retained. Of wheat straw the proportion of potash is f(i per cent., while bean straw con tains of potash a* fatjje ft quantity as 2.59 |ier cent.; but while the bean straw is thus richer in potash thsn that of wi.cat, the latter contains seven times as much silica, winch, though not really considered valua ble as a fertilizer, as it alwsys exists plentifully, is in s condition to be J more readily appropriated by plants when returned to the soil in the straw. Parley contains a larger proportion j of potash limn out*, but i.als rcqmre | a gt cater quantity of soda, and yd theae two minerals are very closely | allied. Cornfodder contains 1.06 per cent of potash, while peas contain 1 This indicates thatcornfodder requires more potash than |s-as and less t! an Is-ans, which contains more than double the proportion in [teas. This is contrary to the general sup position that Ircan. .and pens fi,<| I alike on the same matter, a* they are *hown, in noticing the pr portions of lime required by each, to la- rather dii-suniiar. Hean straw, which excels in pots|, j considered n lime crop alo; but while the crop of IK no straw |>er 100 pounds 1 ,d.j |er cent, of lime, the percentage of lime in pea straw is 1.36, thus demon str.aling that the one prefers pot ash and the other lime. This differ once between peas and lieans rxista in the seed a also, as the U-ans con" tain more potash than peas, though the lime exist# in each in nearly the manic quantity. Oats arc supposed to he exhausting jto the soil but while the straw la I really richer in potash than that of wheat, the grain of wheat exceeds the grain ol osts largely in nearly all the mineral elements, while the grain of buckwheat is deficient in nearly everything that composes the ash as compared with wheat. As straw thus possesse* value ac cording to the amount of mineral matter it extracla from the soil, it is plain that whenever it is sold or re moved from the farm it carries away a certain proportion of the elements derived during the process of growth, i and a farm can be impoverished as easily by the removal of product* that arc considered valueless as by ( the removal of those that find a ready sale in market. It may correctly be claimed that there is nothing produo ed but which may be put to some purpose. Straw should lie utilized i for feeding, ns it is considered exctl < lent when fed in connection with grain ; and when ued for bedding it should bo cut fine, in order to admit of rapid decomposition. The whole stalks, being composed largely of sil ica, do not become fit for plant food until after a great length of time, but wben cut into pieces the moisture and hratact quickly and soon disintegrate it. All kinds of straw arc thorcfore valuable, and If acvcrol kinds sre mixed together in the same compost heap a better fertilizing material will be ohtalned than from any one kind sfipvrsVly. Cultivation and Quality of Crop* Professor L'oessman, of the Expert ment Station at A mherst Agricultur al College, writes ; "Actual field experiments have shown, that the condition and the , quality of the soil, aside of season ' snd of climate, exert a decided itflo- J enco not only on the quantity, hut also on the quality of the crops rais ed upon it. This fact deserves pnr I ticular attention in the cultivation of forage crops. Oats rni*e<l during ! the same season upon the same kind of soil, with •the aid of manures and without them, hns been noticed to contain, in the latter case as low as five an i in the former as high as eleven per cent, of nitrogenous con stituents in its dry vegetable matter. The existence of similar relations be ts i en the particular conditions of the soil and the composition of the crops has been proved in regard to most of I our prominent grasses, nnd legumi nous plants as clover, as well as of mixed fin age crops like meadow hay A high percentage of nitrogenous constituents in these crops is ususllv accompanied by a high percentage ! phosphoric acid compounds. As both are known to ex-rt a decidedly bene ficial influence on the alxolute and relative nutritive value of a single article of fodder, it may be an entire . plant or a particular part of it, it ( needs scarcely any farther argument to prove that an economical system j of feeding our farm stock ought to begin with an intelligent cultivation of our leading fodder crop". We ought to raise them with a view to promote the special development of their most valuable nutritive oonsti tucnts ; and to select the crops for j cultivation with reference to the par ticular adsptation of soil, climate and location to favor the production of the Wat of its kind. The introduc tion of a greater variety of fodder crop* cannot fail to a<"-i*t materially jin gaining the desirable end. To r.nie good potatoes for family use, or good sugar beets for the sugar man ufacturer, requires a different Condi tion of the soil as far as the charac ter of it* accumulated plant food is concerned, tban to raise both cops of a siqienor quality for feeding pur jiosr-s. A mealy potato is usually rich ! in starch, and comparatively speak ing defi ,m'. lb nitrogenous matter and sugar Inn'* hot adapted ]for the manufacture of surgar are rich in su car and contain a low percentage of nitrogenous constituents ; tbev A it Id to the manufacturer the largest amount of sugar at the lowest ex pense. The garden farmer and the manufacturer of sugar judge the qual ity of their respective crops by a standard quite diffi rent from that of the farnxr, who, i ngaged in general farming, considers stock feeding n important part of his industry." VrvTTt. sTiosf.—f'olts and other young stock love the fresh air and sunshine as much as romping lmys and girls. All stalls and stables for these live stock, ss also for the older horsrs ami cattle, should be open to the entrance of light and air. I>ark ncss is too frequently one of the con ditions of diseases in the stables. I/et in the sunlight upon all the walls and floor of every place where farm animals are kept. We make our barns too much like sir tight boxes, and with these modern, fine looking and close join to<l structures come the curse of bad air. If you have one of these barns in which a dor-en or more horses or cows are kept, you j must provide some way for the egres of the foul air and the ingress of that which is fresh and pure. Vsr. FRKTTN ASH OOON Sr.rns.—Re 1 gardlng seeds the Amrrimn Garden ssys the poorest economy a farmer can pursue is to sow such as arc poor or doubtful. Old seeds kept over from previous seasons should be al- ' ' ways tested before using them, and even if old seeds germinate the plants will not be as strong and healthy as ' those from the newer kinds, licet*, ' carrots, celery, corn, onions and ' Hpinach may lie relied upon for from i two to three yeara ; lettuce, turnips and tomtocs for from three to four years ; peas, radish and cabbage for from four to six years, Cucum. ' bers, melons, squashes and auch j seeds will germinate when ten years old or more. _ 3 —Subscribe for the Csxras Peace* tr. J Stock Management. The fanner should keep enough stock to consume all the hay, grain and aurplua produce that is rsi&ed on the farm, as by ao doing he will gen erally get a better price for what he raises, and it will be much easier marketed. The farmer should guard well against over stocking, which is a prominent fault with those farmers who estimate their profits by the num ber of cows and hogs they have with out regard to the condition they are in. Care should Ire exercised in the selection of stock. Having commenc ed, it costs much to retrace one's sups. The farmer who expends his money for |oor, degenerate slock, simply becanse they are cheap, can be called anything but prudent, and has surely spent his money almost, if not quite, uselessly. 1" irst determine what breed of stock suits you l>est, and after you have commenced stick to your line of breeding. Do not be influenced by all that you may bear or read, and keep changing. Don't buy indifferent stock because they have a good pedigree, l>e!ieving what some my tell you, viz.: that they have good blood in them, but that they have had bad usage, and that by caring for thern right you may bleed them up. Do not practice in-and in breeding, for few make a success, al though fine stock are produced by those who know how far to ca try it. Always feed well, but do not over feed. Do not spoil your best stock by overfeeding in order to compete for a premium. Provide good shelter for your stock. It is absurd to sup pose that stock will do well exposed to all extremes without a shelter. Home wili winter and lay ot fat, but they will fatten a good deal faster and with less food, when they have a good warm sLed. Do not invest a dollar in stock unless you intend to take good care of it, summer snd winter, hot or cold. When they need jour care give it to them. — farmer*' Call.

No one can he a successful farmer who does not lav his plans in advance • ! and who docs not have the ability to direct his own labor tbe labor of his men to the beet advantage. Wc have known men who kept two hands to do the work of one. They scat tered their forces, having two or three jobs on hand at once, and all their work was on the drag. What was to be done next they never knew. The farmer who kept a large slate in his kitchen and every evening jot ted down the work for the following day, had a wise head on bis shoul ders. 'Odd jobs for rainy days and slack times were put down on the other side of the slate as they occur red to him. His workr. en never bad to wait to be told what to do next. If called away from home for an af ternoon or a whole day, tbe work was all planned for tbe men ; all they bad to do was to look at the slate. In this way many things were done and done at the right time which would have been neglected bad he trusted wholly to memory ; and hie work never lagged. It doesn't follow, as a matter of course, that because a man was brought up on a farm, and has worked on a farm ail his life, thali he knows it all. What a good trar.y farmers need to leai n is, thai there are other folks alio kr.ow something toa. and that it is just as well for tlicm to be come learners, not only from tbeir own experience, but from the experi ence of other people. While they may not find it practic able on account of their different cir cumstanccs to do just as their neigh bor* do, thej- may gain some valua ble hints from observing and reading and thinking about the methods of brolhcr/srmer*. Now don't you think so ? Wc arc speaking particularly of your slow going neighbor Smith.— Farm Journal.
