The losses that occur annually to our farmers from the drying up of their pastures in July, August and September, should induce eyery stock man to grow a few acres of green feed. In most cases only personal experience with fodder plants will enable a farâ€" mer to ascertain which are best adapâ€" ted to his own needs, and district. In the past the chief objection to soilâ€" ing has been that time is too valuable to be employed for this purpose. But it is becoming very evident that on high priced lands, and with valuable herds or flocks, we cannot afford to negleet our stock during the summer droughts Some suggestions as to the selection and growth of suitable crops for summer feeding are worthy of consideration. In laying out the work it is necesâ€" «ary to know how many head of animals it is desired to feed. The following estimate has been made of the land required to produce sufficient green feed for a cow tor one day. Of Lucerne or other clover $ of a square rod per day ; otf barley, oats and pease rye, wheat or millet, 4 a square . rod per day ; of corn or sorghum $ <f a square rod per day. The above is a fair estimate for a Gday‘s feeding on land in a good state of cultivation, and with no allowance for pasture. No cow can possibly consume 4 a square rod of rye, barley, oats and pease or millet in a day‘s feeding, where there is a good strong growth. But allowâ€" ing that the above estimate is approxiâ€" mately correct, we find that one acre of these crops is sufficient to feed a cow for 320 days. The amount required by other kinds of stock can be caleulâ€" ated on this basis. It is always best to make a liberal allowance. There need be no waste since any surplus can be eut and cured for winter forage, or plowed under as green manure. Miss Young Next it will be necessary to consider |. the most suitable kind of crops to grow, and the periods at which each will be available. For general feeding. rye, clover. rape, pease and oats, vetches, |â€" millet, sorghum and corn, will be tound most satistactory, and the list named will cover practically the whole season, if sown at suitable intervals. Rye sown in the fall wili provide the earliest feed in the spring. Clover, where it will grow well, comes next on the list, and will furnish an abunâ€" dance of good feed during the latter half of June. Lucerae, or altaifa, where the soil and climate are favorâ€" able to its growth, should be given first place on the list of soiling crops. It can be cut almost as early in the spring as rye, and furnished at least three crops, per season of highly niâ€" trogenous tood. | It is greatly relished by all kinds of stock, but is apt to cause bloating if carelessly pastured. Rape may be sown about the first of May on rich wel! .greptred soil for early feeding, and additional sowings may be made at intervals as desired. It is advisable to sow rape in drills two teet ;m. and cultivate as tor turnips. one to two pounds of seed of the Dwarf Essex variety should be sown to the acre, if drilied in, or double the amount if sown broadcast. Rape produces large quantities of green feed and is one of the best foods for keeping animals, including {ngs, sheep and calyes, in good condition. It is not satisfactory for milch cows, Oats and pease make one of the yery best soiling crops for general growth, menlarly for teeding dairy cows,. y should be sown as early in the spr ng as the ground will permit, and at intervals thereafter, at the rate of about three bushels per aAtre, (equal parts, or 2 bushels oats to 1â€"0f pease.) owing to its tendency to injure the flayor of the milk. . PERSONAL MENTION. and Miss Maggie Laidlaw, called on friends in town (Contimued mext week.) sr.. of Ceylon, and her guests of her son Robt. left for West Tuesday mornâ€" an aunt , of Uullll\.ll, EC pmensens 1 The voice of the politician is heard. | Surprising that a little assistance is so highly valued around election time. It is also surprising how much nearer and more intimate the M P‘s and the ) common people become at this particuâ€" | lar time. We will not venture any preâ€" \ diction as to the outcome, let the 29th decide, but eyery man that is endowed| with manhood‘s franchise, should go to | the poll and exercise that franchise acâ€" cording to the honest dictates of his conssience. ‘Tis in the hands of the common people the issue lies, they are in the large majority. Abrabam Linâ€" coln‘s noted saying might here be apâ€" plicable, viz., "That the Lord must love the common people", when asked of * why" replied, "because he made so many of them. F Our people turned ont in goodly numâ€" bers and attended the liberal candidave‘ s meetings in Hampden, Neustadt, and Ayton. ‘They were all oneâ€"sided as no opposition was present at any of them. The Dr comes this week to give us the picture of the other side, and we are all liberal minded enough to go and hear both sides, and then draw our own conâ€" clusions. _ We are not predjudiced or narrowâ€"minded on any subject in "Midâ€" way". We will therefore be in a posiâ€" tion to cast an intelligent ballot. d The sound of wedding bells is again faintly beard in the distance.
