WINTER MANURE METHODS.
At the beginning of winter a thick
layer of straw er other material should
be spread over the barnyard. If the yard
is too large to warrant this it is too large
for profit. Without some receptacle to
retain it, niost of the liquid excrement
of domestic animals is wasted. ‘This
means the loss of the portion of excre-
ment that is richest in ammonia, and,
therefore, most stimulating to plant
growth, Fresh urine is often go caustic

applied, but it loses this injurious effect

especially if largely mixed with straw.
If the two are applied separately neither
does the good it should, though after
the stable manure is distributed grain
crops should have an additional dose of
phosphate, as with the drill ‘it can be
distributed in contact with the seed soas
to do it most good when the ‘plant be-

with manure is most certain to do good
later in the season, as it does not revert
or become insoluble.—~ Boston Cultivator.

S¢door-yards” and lawns in accordance
with the principles of the best landscape

smooth lawn, and well laid out and well
dressed walks. fa
2. Avoid parallel walks, because ex:

5. In out trees, observe care-
fully what their effect will be in future
years when they spread abroad ther
branches.
6. Leave a part of the grounds un-
planted with trees, to allow a sufficient
breadth of lawn in future years, and to
avoid regular irregularity, but prefer a
constant variety or change.
7. Heavy grading is expensive, and a
rounded and graceful variation of surface
may be more pleasing than a level, and
it costs much less.
9. Dwellings may front streets square-
ly, when the streets are important and
the dwellings small; but large mansions,
at a distance from obscure streets, should
show less attention to them.
9. Begin small, and make perfect
work; avoid the mistakes of laying out
great expense; let the lawn be a smooth
curpet, and the walks have perfect finish -
even if small dimensions,
SUBSOILING.
In the June report of the Kansas State.
Board of Agriculture a plan for testing,
the merits of subsoiling was given, which!
was subsequently recommended on this
page as worthy the attention of farmers, :
who may in this way determine without
subsoiling a whole field whether it will
be sufficiently profitable to justify the’
additional expense. Briefly stated, the
plan consists in subsoiling narrow strips,
say about two rods in widths, through a
field and planting the crop across the
strips subsoiled. Then note the differ-
encein yield caused by the subsoiling.

ment on grounds leased at that place for:
experiment purposes. About forty acres
were plowed and subsoiled to a depth!
of eighteen inches and planted to cane.!
Another piece of ground was plowed
the ordinary depth, but not subsoiled,
and also planted to cane of the
variety. Both fields received the
_care’and cultivation. The grounds which!
were subsoiled yielded about eighteen
tons of cane to the acre; while on the
other’ ground, simply plowed, the best
yield was only about ten tons.
Mr. Mohler, the Secretary of the State:
Board, recommends that farmers who in-_
tend to sow alfalfa should by all means
subsoil. ' If the soil is upland it is’ all
the more important, This plant sinks
its roots down from five to ten more feet
into the subsoil, provided the hard and
dry condition of the subsoil allows. It
is this:deep rod?ing which enables alfalfa
to endure the severest drough, hot winds
or any other calamitous thing that comes
along. When a good stand of this plant
is secured, it will last fora generation or
more, vielding valuable crops each year.

The Rural New Forker calls attention

raised from seed brought from Illinois

Pumkins are easily injured by freezing,
and much valuable feed is thus lost every
fall for lack of care. If put in a barn
basement they may be kept until January,
and s0 long as they make a cheap,
rich food for milch cows, especially if
the seeds are removed before they are
fed. The seeds are diuretic and decrease
milk flow. : a

grape was first advocated as a means of
protecting certain yarieties against the
‘phylloxera, the editor of the Rural New

Peas when grown as a field crop should
be sown about four inches deep, which
can be done with a seed drill, or by
sowing upon the surface and then plow-
ing four inches deep with narrow furrows.
They yield about 14 tons of seed to the
acre, which, when ground, make oné ot
the best grains for stock feeding, and
