The May condition of barlev was W points below that of last year". Just as well have two crops from mrsi ol tne garden. It helps to make tte Plant corn, peas, beans, as well nj islies and lettuce, at intervals for a sat s cessiou ui crops, Ground barlev is an excellent fnl i. t fattening hogs. It is a good plan to mil. I ize everything that will help to vary the ( ration from an exclusive corn diet. t Horses are very fond of carrots, and I carrots are very good for the hnrso. I Tl i ll.i . . vc- meee are iwo excellent reasons lor feed, ing them more than is usually dona. Liberal feeding of the best foods is. of the ways for maintaining tho fertility of the farm. Good food makes rich mi. nure, and rich manure makes fertile soil. Because a man is farming cheap land is no reason why he should be content wiiu cneap block, uoou cauie Will pav the new settler in the West as well ? any one else. The process of grading no brinus on t continually nearer to the full blood, J which is the source of u'.l satisfaction and profit in stock-keeping. Any croa wnicu aoes not woric toward tliat is fu- i tile. I. All colts which are not first-class in I themselves and eligible to resist rati eiiould be converted into geldings and f marketed as soon as thev can be made i tit. Keep the best fillies for brood f' mares. f, The work horses will wear out iust the t same as the wagons and the farm iuiple- f menis. iaKe goou care ol tnem bv I keeping them well groomed, and yoii can lengthen their period of usefulness just as you can that of the machinery Dy keeping it well oiled. x ue poiaio neeus mucn moisture in i order to make a successful growth. But ! hub euouiu uoi leau one into ine errorol planting on a low, wet piece of land, aa such cannot produce a mealy tuber. Land that keeps moist, but is well drained, should be chosen. The pressing question for American farmers to study to-day is that of a mure economical production. The interests are too wide for any scheme for controll ing markets and prices to be of an v avail. Produce more per acre and you will hare a profit in spite of low prices. It is easier to train a horse than to break it. In fact, the latter practice has become antiquated, and we are glad to say few farmers follow it. Still it is well, enough to bear in mind that there is decided difference between the two, espe cially if you have some colts coming in. Sheep are profitable stock only when a' profitable kind is kept and in a profit able manner. The man who thinks sheep of chief value as scavengers, and keeps them mainly for that purpose and without much regard to breed or feeu, will not be apt to find their feet golden to his land. Most of the people on the farm learn to milk, but not all of them become good milkers. Some make very hard work of what should be an easy task. If vou want the best results, see'that the milker is quiet, easy and firm in his methods. If lie requires much muscular exertion and bodily motion in tlie labor of ex tracting the milk, he is not a good man for tlie place. If you keep poultry, regard it as part of tlie farm stock, and give commensu rate feed and care. If vou think the fowls are of no account, they will surely prove themselves so to you. Just noir we would suggest that the young chicks be kept dry, not allowed to run about in the wet grass in the early morning. It will have much to do with" keeping them wed, and that way profit lies. FEEDING BRAN. With nearly all kinds of stock bran can lie fed to a good advantage, and es pecially go during the summer. At the prices it is usually sold at during the summer it makes one of the very cheap est foods that can be supplied. Some use more or less in the dairy ; but, while it makes a valuable food for the cows and the teams, brood mares and growing ligo can ue given more or less to a good advantage. It can be fed for milk, for growth, to add to the variety and for manure. For fertilizing alone it adds nearly or quite its cost to the manure, and for the purpose at least it is worth twice the Value of course meal ("Inn advantage in feeding it is that there is little or no waste, is easily assimilated and contains but a small amount of in digestible materials. It is also in con dition to be combined to a good advan tage with other materials. In itself it is not a complete food; in feeding in nearly all cases its lt cured by feeding in connection with other materials. With the milch cows oilmeal, cornmeal and bran with good pasturage make a complete ration for milk and butter. ltll growina Dii bran run ha lined with middlings, irround oats, barlev or cornmeal. and if made into slon with sweet skim milk with any of these, it w ill aid materially in securing a Rtronir. vigorous growth with good development of bone and muscle. 1-or t.h loom limn can be combined with almost anv kind of gnun with a benefit, while with un- ttireshed oats, if thev are run tbrom-h a cutting box, it makes one of the best rations that can be supplied. Many purchase bran all th mutrh the winter from necessity; in manv localities from this time on it can be secured at fair prices, so that generally it can be bought and used in connection with other materials to good advantage. When grain-raising is combined with stock-feeding the manorial value of all feeds must be considered if the fertility of the soil is to be kept np. and with bran this is one item gained, a it is one of the best materials that can be fed to stock when the value of the manure is an item. It is not best lo dejx-nd on bran alone, but on nearly all arms more or less can l used to good advantage. Tha other night at Rford Junction.
