The following is condensed frora a Etenographic report, made for The Farm er's Review, of questions asked by-practical farmers and answered by a pro gressive western grain grower at a recent institute: In sowing salt on your land how much do you sow to t he acre? I sow from 150 to 175 pounds of salt to Jthe acre. 1 sow it from the hind end of my lumber wagon When I sow salt .1 sow land plaster with' it At what time do you sow your salt? Just as soon after sowing the grain as possible v ' ' How much wheat do you sow to the acreV , ' r When 1 sow wheat alone I sow If bush els to the acre. ' What time jdo yon consider best for fall plowing? I August and the first of September. You recommend dragging small grain after it is up in the spring, but will not this dragging after the clover is up kill the- c5l over? . i flou t drag when 1 sow clover with my' grain., l.u sowing heavy will it not do better to sow broadcast than. with the drill? Of late ye;-rs 1 do not sow any with the drill In drr.ggmg small grain how many i times would you drag it? j That wc iud depend on the condition of the soil; if the ground was pretty hard j I would drag twice; 1 would drag di- agonally.

Then on a poor soil would thicker? 1 would sow quite thick. Would you sow thicker in a poor than fci a rich soil? 1 should sow thicker in a poor soil. Have you. ever sown plaster on your hind? 1 did years ago, but not of late years, f the land is in a good state of culti vanon what kind ot oats will stand up best? 1 have been seeking for a kind of oats that will stand up well and I have found them, but the' do not weigh more than thirty pounds to the bushel. I have never fov.nd a good oat that would staud good, but 1 sow salt and that strengthens them and helps them to stand. Do you harrow your salt in? No, sir; I leave it on top. What kind of wheat do you mix with the oats? Lost Nation wheat. Would you expect to get a good crop of wheat from land deficient in lime? Certainly not, if tlie deficiency was to such an extent that there was not lime enough to make a good wheat plant. If you sow salt on land seeded to small grain and clover will not the salt injure the clover? No: it will benefit it. t j Is salt a preventive of chinch bugs? ' 1 have tried it on sod land and found that they worked only on the laud where the salt had not been sown, and i think that salt will prevent the bugs. Does not, clover kill off the bugs? It is sometimes good, but is not a 'cure all." Does salt help plant growth? To a certairi extent; of course vou can put on so much that it will kill the plant But in a dry time it will assist it by . holding moisture for the plant. Does not salt retard the growing of the stalk? : No; it makes a larger and stronger stalk Ar. Morristown, E. T.

"can Agriculturist Feeding Fowls for Effj;- Injudicious feeding issne of the most prolific causes of disease and trouble in poultry Overfed hens cease to lay or the eggs are soft shelled. No mcre food should be given than will be eaten up clean. American Agriculturist- recog nizing these facts, recommends the fol lowing plan of feeding: Grown fowls j should be fed only twice a day at morn ing and evening. At noon on our place the different strains are turned out sep arately into their exercising ground, where there is a pile of earth thrown up and sown with grain. They scratch into this jieap for hidden food and strengthen their muscles while doing it. The food furnished grown birds should be of a kind to make muscle without too much fat. The greater the variety of food the better. The following "mixture is found to be excellent for producing egg .material and for making healthy, strong bodies.: Three sacks of wheat, two sacks of broken corn, two sacks of oats. one bushel of ground oyster shells, one bushel of broken charcoal, one gallon of sulphur and one-ha'f bushel of salt, all thorough!" well mixed. Towuraised chicks need some meat, and this, boiled t and chopped tine, is given them two or three times a week."
