PAEli AND HOUSEHOLD ITEMS
We fnrtt commvnfcnMonsrom n permntwho art
interested in matter) proiierlv belonging to thi
department,
.. Straw Stack and Cattle Shed.
As this is the time for thrashing and
stacking our straw for' winter use, I send
you a plan of a straw tack which I have
used, and find it to be preferable to any
way I have ever tried. ,
I cut sis posts seven and a half foot
long and sixteen or eighteen inches in
diameter, square the top ends, set them
in the ground two-and-one-hnlf feet deep
in two rows, twenty-four feet apart in the
row, making a square of twenty-four feet.
I then cut threo heavy sticks about twenty-eight
long and lay them upon the tops
of the posts across the row, and across
these luy poles about two feet apart, suf
ficiently strong to bear the weight of the
straw. These poles can be about four
teen feet long, to reach from bench to
bench, which will form a rack twenty-four
by twenty-eight feet, which is sufficient
for fifteen or twenty cattle. Then when
thrashing, commence your stack by haul
ing the straw around this rack with a
horse and rail, piling the straw on three
sides on the ground ubout twelve or fif
teen feet wide, till it is even with the top
of the lack, then spread it all over and
top it out well, leaving the south side
open.
13y this means the cattle will always
have shelter aud bright straw to eat, as
they will eat from the insido out, and all
the waste straw will be trampled under
foot and more easily mado into manure.
.. B., in Ohio Farmer.
Autumn Top-Dressing.
We notice in several agricultural jour
nals strong recommendations to top-dress
land in the autumn. Now, whilo we
have no doubt of the efficacy of this sug
gestion in a general senso, and have ofton
advocated it, wo think there are some
grass lands which would be better if, this
application were mado in spring. In
fields where the ground has a tendency
to heave, throwing up tlio grass and ex
posing the roots to the direct action of
the frost, autumn top dressing, which
will protect the ground, is much to be
preferred, and the application can be
made either with the aftermath, straw or
manure, as the condition of the soil may
seem to require. If the ground is not
liable to heave, a coat of mauuro us early
in the spring as can be applied will in
sure a largo crop of grass. There need
be no fear of the manure interfering
with the mowing of the crop or the mak
ing of the hay, inasmuch as we have
found it is soon beaten down by tlio rains
and is quite out of reach of the operations
of harvesting by the time that period
arrives.
Are Outs an Exhausting Crop I
As the regular rotation in Eastern
farming cousists of ciover, corn, outs,
wheat or rye, it is worth while to consider
if oats are really the non-exhausting crop
they are claimed to be. In the ash of
oats straw there is over fifteen per cent,
of potash, while tho percentage of phos
phorio acid is very light. Oats can not
therefor bo considered as a non-exhausting
crop, as this is a large amount of
potash to carry off, and potash is a sub
stance we find difficult to replace, As
oats, therefore, seem to withdraw princi
pally the alkali from tho soil, either lime
or ashes is indicated as a manure suitable
for this crop, and in practice these are
found beneficial. Lime in its action on
soils is ' known to liberate and render
solublo the potash contained in them,
and hence its favorable effects as a fertil
izer. Ifearth ami Home.
Cows Holding op their Milk.
J. A. Wilson writes to the Agricultu
ralt'it that he has found the best remedy
for this fault is to " take a log chain,
double it then, lay it gently over the
cow's back on the " small of the back"
so that the end of the chain will clear
the floor. The cow loses the power of
holding up her milk, and after a few tri
als will forget the habit. '
, Vermin on Stock.
A correspondent says he feeds his stock
u tuaspoonful of sulphur to each animal,
with their salt, once in two weeks. When
he has done so no vermin 'have troubled
them, and his , dairy cows have not been
affected with garget, nor his1 sheep with
grab in the head. He has practised this
twenty years. '
tip" The highest farm in the world is
Haid to be situated four miles from Sher
man Station, pn the Union Tacifio ltuil
road. It has an elevation eight thousand
feet above the level of the sea' Vegeta
bles and grain thrive well on this farm,
and twb hundred young apple trees have
been set out as an experiment. i
frctST A preparation of one part calo
mel,, five parts of wheat flour, one part pf
