AGRICULTURE. RYE A5 A FARM Cnor.-We are not growing rye enough. This rough and hardy plant has more uses than per haps most farmers are aware o(, and for some of them no other plant Is so well fitted. For its grain alone it can be grown profitably, as there ts less j lsk and expense in growing It than with any other grain.unless it be oats. But it will. grow where oats will not, or not so well--on sandy soil and in a cold climate, both of which are adapted to this plant as well as the potato. On the high plateau of the North Woods, where frosts sometimes occur every month in the year, and whore the soil is nearly all sand, I have seen heavy crops of it. Of course the land had to be enriched. Rye is a strong feeder, and with sufilcient manure wil hardly ever fail to make a great growth of straw and grain, the latter seldom, fall lug, being less subject to shrinklug, attacks of lusects and other mishaps than whdat, and Is therefore the safer of the two. Yet the careless and inju dicious treatment it receives often causes its yield to fall below that of wheat. Clay is not favorable to it, es. ,etlially when heavy and undrained, and yet we see It frequently put on such land. A .clay loam, with good drain age, will produce it, andif rich enough will make a large yield of straw,tLough the berry may not always be satisfac tory. I believe general practice has made it clear that the berry Is best on sandy sol, being plumper and of bet ter quality. 'ihe straw, which finds a ready market, Is about of equal value with the grain. Rye can be narvested early in the season, affording a chance to prepare the land well for autumn sowing, or some other crop for supple mentary summer feeding, giving still a chance for rye to be sown in the fall. 31anure must be applied at the time of sowing, and harrowed in, either at the summer or fall seeding or both it need @1. FLOORS FOR POULTRY HOUss-Varl ous materials have been. employed for constructing floors for poultry houses, as boards or planks, concrete, asphalt um, brick and stone. The first named are objectionable, as they absorb por tions of the manure dropped by fowls and, in constquence, send off vile and unhealthy odors when the temperature becomes warm. Floors made in part of asphaltum are liable to become sticky during the hot weather of summer. Floors made of concrete, brick or stone are very cold during the winter and are liable to the further objection of be coming damp,. At present most poul try keepers give their prelerence to earth floors. 'They prefer clay, but are well satisfied with any kind of earth so that it is elevated suffloiently to be out of the way of surface water. Whatevet kind of earth is employed should be packed close, so that it may be swept with stiff blooms as occasion requires. it is best to have the floor covered with pulverizing pear, ashes or road scrap Ings, with wh.ch the droppings of the io wIs may be mixed. As often as once a v eek all this loose material should be sw ept up and put in barrels for use as manure. ENIICHINa Pooh LAN Ds.--There are three principal methous of rapidly in ciensing the supply of plant food in any *oll: By feeding contracted foods upon the lane, as olleake, cottonseed cake etc.; by the application of barn yard manure, ar.d the use of artiicial iertilizers. Which of these threeineth ods is to be adopted in any givei case must be determined by the nmany condi tions aid circumstances that'surrounid it. It may be that the leeding of sheep with decorticated cottonseed cake upon a poor pasture may be the quickest and best method of eniriching tile land. In other cases the purchase and applica tion of' barnyard manure may be the most priolitable fertilizers, it should be borne in mind that their true tille Is to supp~ly quickly one or two ingredl eats that iity be deficient in timo sol when~i these are known their use is to be recommended. lions,-s with dull spirits are not by anly meianis prioof against badi inanai&ge mecnt, for In ihemn may be found 1,he niost pr ovoking obstinacy vicious hab Its or differenit characters that render theta almost worthless.
