thing to furnish our poultry
with. It may ho given in a powdered

this is to huru an ear or two of

BYE IS Tire CORNFIF.T.n.
Thoro is one plan that, if generally
adopted by tho dairymen, would add
measurably to the pasturage of the
form and at the same time bo a benotlt
to tho f*oil itself, and thin ih tho practico
of sowing ryo in tho cornfield
nithor at the last working or uh soon
as the corn is cut. up. 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. Thero is
?i j nothing oqurtl to keeping the land nt
work, fllfingthe soil with a in ass of
roots to decay find furnish food for 11??
following crop, and if it can hi- done
between crops, as this plan with rye
offers, a groat gain has been inado not
only in the supplying of food to tho
stock, but feeding tho land as well.?

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. New nrltilea are oontlwa- g

bh a rule, are even ae good ae they
wore in former timee. 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 ?' (

to Ikj very bad practice. Tho argu- city
ment wits that loaves make food, and fori
tho more leaves tho lwtter. This p
would bo true if tho leaves were
healthy leaves; but diseased leaves arc pecJ
worst* than no leaves at all. No one p00j
ever thought of the strawberry spoti n pOS,
those days; in fact a specimen of this
ilisea.se was rarely seen. 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. It is an illustration of a
point feipiently made that though our

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. Tho egg is made more
?(j pointed at one cud than at tho other / ^
-or in birds .that, like the guillemot, arc ^
!?ss frequently changing their poaitiou? "\
aonietiineaH.vimming and diving, sometimes
perching on tho rocks, etc.?
