Perhnps the proluclion of heavy
fodder crops like clover, b-iekwheat,
rye, corn, etc., for plowing under may
bo good policy, writes A. C. Went, but
I cannot see why it is not better prac
tice to harvest these crops for which
the husbandman has been laboring
through the seasou, and utilize them
iu two ways, for food as wall as for
fertilizer. I tliiuk the day has gone
by for waste fodder. I cure not how
pronounced tho roughage may be, if
it be cut and cured iu time nud iu
good order, it may bo profitably fed
by mixing with it any one of the nu
merous concentrated foods, which can
usually be procured at low prices in
tho market. I heartily advocate the
raising of such crops as oats, peas,
cowpeas, corn, rye, barley, etc., as
fodder crops, and believe everything
should bo saved for silo or mow,
aud run through a first-class
power cutter. This is not the
day in which wo csn afford to waste
nuy portioti of tho crops, whether it
bo coru fodder in sections where the
graiu only is sought, or swamp grass
on the thousands of acres of tui
drnined eastern swamps. Iu the latter
case ,;f the grass be cut very early and
cured green, a second crop may be
secured from tho samo plat baloro
cold weather, and tho r.lsult will bo
hay of very fair quality. Let ill i fer
tilize more, but do it by feeding' more.
Many of tho best termors still fudhcro
to tho advisability of plowing under
green crops, and wo believoiu tho
practice on light nud sandy soils es
pecially. Such soil needs vegetaldo
mutter (humus) to absorb and retain
water, ns woll as noeding tho mineral
elements of plant food. American
Agriculturist,
HINTS ABOUT HAT1SO.
During tho past few dry season:,
rye has not only douo good service as
pasture where grasses failed, but if
cut just before Leading lnnkes a fair
hay. Of course it is not uoarly bo
good as clover or timothy, but it is
much better than straw, and is readily
eaten by stock. It is cut wit ha mower,
allowed to cure, thou cared for ns
timothy. It is not difficult to harvest.
Haying machinery has 1 improved
with other classes of farm implements.
A hay crop enn be put up with very
little hard work. Tho crop can be cut,
allowed to dry, gathered up with a
largo fork, drawn to tho stack, nud
elevated by horso power, or can bo
elevated onto 11 wagon, hauled to the
burn, nud unloaded with a hay fork.
I'ilher of theso methods must bo prac
tised where tho crop is very large.
Improved slings, tracks, harpoons,
etc., have made tho operation com
paratively simple. If, however, the
highest quality is desired, and the
amount to bo harvested is compara
tively small, it will pay to rake before
thoroughly dry and put into small
cocks unlil completely cured. This is
especially true of theclovers and pnas.
It can then be loiided upon a wagon,
taken to the burn, or dragged to the
stack by menus of largo horserakes
Where material can bo secured nt
reasoiiiible figures, it undoubtedly
pays to build cheap sheds for liny
which cannot be put into tho burn
loft. If it is absolutely necessary to
stack iu the open field, top out with
wild hay if it can be obtained, or cover
with cuuvas or boards. Unprotected
iu any way, a large amount is lost,
especially if heavy rains should occur
before the slack has settled thoroughly.
In any event, keep tho middle well
filled nud tramped solid, so that the
outer edges will settle most rapidly.
Tho outside layers will have n
hiillieient slope to keep out rainfall.
Hound stacks keep best, but l icks are
easieat made and nro most common.
Indeed, we believe tho truest economy
on many farms will consist in com
paratively chenp barns or sheds for
hay storage, contiguous to well-built
nud properly fitted sanitary stables
for stock. New England Homcbtoad.
1AI1M AND liAIillKS NOTES.
Air and sunshine are health giving
to fowls as well as to people.
See that coops are well oiled or
whitewashed before the little chicka
are put into them.
Do not be deceived with the idea
that incubators need no enre. Tho
best that can bo made require atten
tion. It is not a.' much learning how as
to be willing to give the constant euro
and attention that secures good work
widi the incubator.
It is reported from Franco tint tho
fresh juice of the poppy plant applied
to ricent bee stings gives immediate
relief and prevents iullammation.
Now that warm weather is here, care
should be had to tee that things are
clean and sweet about too poultry
quarters, and the ventilation good.
Give the old hen n good dusting
with mutV before she is taken from the
nest with the little chicks. Petter do
it a day or two before the chicks come.
If your hens begin to moult early
do imt feel badly over it. If they nro
yearlings they will with proper care
be ready to lay good priced eggs lor
Christ inns.
Do l't forget that somo belated piece
of ground may bo profitably sowu to
buckwheat. The bees and the laying
hens will divide the crop with profit
to their owner.
The space rcq-iired for an npinry is
not necessarily large. One-half acre
is sullieieut for U00 colonies, and these
should produce three or four tons of
honey annually.
In California aud the South, 200 to
500 pounds per colony is considered a
fair average. In Petiny lvnuia there
have been secured from .')0J to 100
pounds from a single colony.
Tho demand for beeswax always ex
ceeds the supply, and as no adequate
substitute for it has ever been found,
the demand is likely to continue. Iu
Switzerland, tho taxes are often paid
with the wax sold.
A top of overngo hay removes from
tho land twenty-eight poumht nitro
gen, ten pounds phosphoric acid, and
thirty-live pounds potash. Commer
cial fertilizers to replace this lost fer
tility will cost about Stl.'Jo; hence,
thero is not much money in selling
hay. JJetter convert it into meat,
milk and butter, and sell these, as it
will cost less to send these to market,
and tho fertility will be kept on the
farm. From sixty to eighty-livo per

THE FRESH-BREAD CHARITY, j
What On Worthy New York l'Utlau
tbropltt I Poind.
One of the oddest sights that New
York affords Is the procession of the
hungry which move past Grace
Church nt ten minutes before 1 o'clock
every morning. It Is the parade of the
unemployed the hungry poor.
Eighteen years ago a Vienna bakery
was established In New York. It cnino
from tho ceutennlnl nt Philadelphia.
Ulghteen years ngo tho proprietor of
this bnkcry began the nightly distribu
tion of the broken loaves of bread to
the hungry poor. The custom has pre
vailed ever since, and the foreman
estimates that two million loaves of
bread have been given away during tho
elghtceu yenrs. The retail vnlue of
that bread would ho more than $1."iV
000; Its wholesale vnlue would be one
half ni much. In the winter months
fresh coffee Is glveu with the bread.
Hoth coffee nnd bread are n charity
offering by the owner of the bakery.
The men begin to assemble n little
before 12 o'clock. The tlifit comer
stands Just In front of the bakery door
ou a side street. The rest fall !n behind
him, nnd before I o'clock the line
stretches to H roadway, and along that
thoroughfare fifty yards to the door
way of (iruee Church.
There are hurrying steps from nil
directions as the hour of distribution
approaches, for the late-eoinois are like
ly to go hungry.
At tcu minutes before 1 o'clock the
bakery door Is thrown open and the
Htout foreman npix-nrs. Two bakers'
assistants bring out sonio boxes plied
high with broken loaves. ThW Is fresh
bread which litis been upoih'd in the
baking.
When the loaves nre a little defective
they nre sold at u low price to small
shopkeepers; but when they nre broken
the pieces are kept for the poor.
One of the boxes Is placed at the head
of the line, and the first man helps him
self to the fattest chunk of bread tint
he can distinguish in the Unlit from the
doorway. Then the sliullllng line moves
past, each man picking up his piece of
bread and going 011 his way. Many are
tramps by profession, but most of the
brend rocetvers are worUlngtnen out of
employment.
Plowly the line pusses. There I;t no
scuffling for place. Ea.-li lakes his turn.
Sometimes 11 man lingers for a minute
to make a selection from the box. and
the foreman has to break the blockade
by ordering him ou.
At 1 o'clock the last loaf of bread !.
seized and 1 arried away. A dozen hun
gry, disappointed men turn away with
out complaint and without even u phil
