In tho spring, long before tho pastures uro "lit" for turning tho stock upon their., the ryo field is n wealth of lino food and excellent. Ity thin plan there is no winter washing of tho land, which in, us a rule, equal in exhaustion to a growing crop, and by tho middle of May this ryo nod can ho turned under for corn and is next to clover nod in value. For several years the writer linn as nearly an possible carried out thin plan and finds that, with what manure and clover Hod oomoft In in rotation, liis Holds are getling bettor all the time. Two ways liroHont themselves to put in the ryo-sowing broadcast and cultivating in with a light cultivator, setting teeth as shallow as good work will allow, so as to disturb the corn roots as little as possible; and tho other in to cut up the corn, having tho shocks regular, and then sowing one and a-half bushels of ryo on broadcast and harrowing it in with a harrow or disc, tho loosening up of the ground covering the seed effectually without plowing.

Practical Farmer. CUIiTiVATINO HTliAWBERRIEK. Tho strawberry lenf disease, known as the spot, has been much more injurious during the last quarter of a century than it was in former times; and growers are looking about for some explanation of the spread of thj? trouble. In almost all eases a new variety "runs out," as it is called, and chielly through tho operation of this dleeeee.

It is thought ^ that the old method of cultivation, which moderns have laaghed at, might -ct L.,o uwu uuen oaa practice after or' all. The practice was to grow the 1 strawberries in bods; as soon as the 'ro1 crop was gathered tho leaves were ?'

It is now be- . lit;veil that the practice of mowing and ^ n burning the leaves was advantageous in this, that it destoyed all attempts jj* of this fungus to propagate itself and , was therefore buuoflcial rather than ^ ^ otherwise.

Shapes of Eggs. IU Various attempts liovo been mado to >' account for the diversity in shapo soen Hp iu eggs. A recent study convinces Doctor Nicolsky that the dilTereuces 1 . may be all traced to gravity, and ho 01 finds his idea confirmed by all the eggs 10 in the zoological collection of the Ht. Petersburg University. Ho supposes that pressure by the sides of the ovary tends to elongate the egg before the shell has hardened. Iu birds wbieli keep a vertical position while at rest, as do the falcon and the owl, the soft lis e?gg is made short by the action of the r<H weight of the body against the ovarian jtp pressure; while in birds that, like the grebe, are nearly always swimming, ,ro (he egg is lengthened because the bird's ' ' ?4 weight acts with the compression by ? ,]y tho ovary.
