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

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
