We sow two bushels per sere en rich-well prepared soil and it never has failed to make double the growth of oats at six or seres weeks. Oats alone or with Canada peas hare been found by some to be rery satisfactory, but we never have suooeeded with the pea-and-oat combination. Bye Is an old stand-by, and we get the best results from It sown early and perhaps pastured a little In early Norember. This fall pasturing seems te thicken it and make it stool out better, I but it must be done with light stock and not kept up too late. Some writ| era strongly favor the fall sowing of , cheat and chess for early sDrlna Das ture, and as the chess is very hardy, making early and rapid growth in spring, it may be useful in many places. But the careful farmer will be slow to use it for fear of infestr lng his wheat lands with a bad pest We have not tried hairy vetch as a pasture plant but a plat of It recently seen leads us to think it might be a very valuable plant on sandy, light soils. Oat hay Is growing in favor everywhere, and if made properly Is very valuable. The seed should be sown rather thicker than where a crop of grain is the object and the crop cut Just when the first heads begin to whiten. One can handle an oat crop in this way much easier than by cub ting when ripe with the binder and the hay Is not nearly so apt to be damaged by mice as the burned sheaves will be. Millet has many valuable points, but is not to be thought of as an early crop. Sown in late June or early July, it is harvested when wnrlr In nnt vnm pressing, but it must be remembered that it is not a safe feed for homes, and for best results must not be allowed to get near ripe before cutting. ?Farmers' Voice. RUSSIA RULES BY THE SNOW. by the Sledge Alone She Owes Advance to the East. The world has moved so quickly of late that it is difficult to realise that a century ago Russia occupied tha first place among European countries for the cheapness and rapidity with which the land transport of merchandise could be effected. The facilities for traveling and for the conveyance of goods provided by the sledge?then the easiest o( all moaes oi transport Dy lana?gave Russia for half the year as great a physical advantage over most other Continental countries in this direction as Great Britain possessed by her countless roads over the ocean wave. Visitors to Moscow a century ago recorded their amazement at finding when dining with wealthy nobles in mid-winter fresh fruit and vegetables that had been brought by rapid sledge transport from the south, luxuries that no money could at any time have purchased in Paris, Berlin or even London. To the sledge road alone Russia owed the possibility of her rapid advance to the Bast, in which her empire had increased at the average rate of a little over eighty kilometres a day since the reign of Peter the Great. The Russians gilding eastward over the snow won their grand empire of Northern and Eastern Asia just as the Anglo-Saxons, ploughing their way westward through the ocean, ' won theirs on the other side of the Atlantic: and both now are face to face upon the eastern and western shores of the Pacific.?Russian Life in Town and Country. Greeley's Visit to Colorado. In his reminiscences Henry Villard tells of Horace Greeley's visit to Colorado. He and a companion went In one of the express stages and had met with a singular and perilous ack cldent.

Snow fulls to the earth in flukes treatise it is water solidified in star like 1 crystals, each snow flake being usually made up of several crystals, which are excessively light on account of tin) ? large quantity of air among the frosen particles. The snow crystals arise from the Blow passage of the water vapor of clouds, when the temperature fulls below freezing point, into the solid condition, the fairylike transformation taking place by the tiny independent particles of water grouping themselves with the utmost mathematical regularity around differeut centers.
