THE FARM. Crops for â- Sreen Feeding in Summer. Oue of the first croix? in the sprinj that is availalile for i«ilin« is rye, writes Prof. C. S. Pheips. Thia crop should be -soivii Sept. 1, at the rate of two and one-half or three bushels per acre. The time during 'which the crop is in the best cxmdition for feeding is short After the heads have generally appear- ed the rye snon Ijecomes woody, and is then more or less rejected by stock. For this reason the period of feeding must be sliort, and large crops cannot be exi)ected. Another spring crop, and one that may be made to follow rye if desired, is winter wheat. This crop Is more leafy, develops more slowly than rye, and can be advajitageously fed for a longer period of days. Although not a legume, it gives quite a high percent- age of proiem, ami b a fodder to which cows seem to re-spond readily with an increased product. Like rye, it needs to be thickly sown â€" not leas than two and one-half bushels per acre. Thia crop responds quiokiy to the application of nitrogen, nitrate of aoda probably giving the quickest returns. By the us© of fertilizers rich in nitrogen, not only the total yield >u'. also the value of the crop may be v».-y materially in- creased. BED CLOVER. Farmsrs to-day do not appreciate the value of clover as a forage and hay plants to the extent that its merits war- rant. JVIany contend that the seasons have changed, and that clover ia more apt to winterkill than formerly, but this is proliably not the reul cause of the de(;reas«. The fac-t that hay with sim- ply a small admixture of clover in branded as second class by liverymen may have something to do with the re- duction in the amount ^rown. This is all wron^, for an ajlmixture of well- cured clover improves the value of hay for all kinds of live stock. It seems probable that there La something lack- vns in our soil that makes clover less productive than formerly. The best clover lands are found in limestone re^- ioiiis. and it is quite likely that the lack of lime in the soil is often the cause of failure with the crop. Nejtt to the '^raisses, clover Is cne of our surest crops for hay, and ten tons plight Ije ^rown with profit where one i» now produced. The experience of some of the leading farmers in many sections has .shown that the liest time to sow red clover is after wmler ^rain. durioij; the latter part of July. A (food catch is generally obt.iiaed at this time, an<l the clover Incomes firmly rooted by winter, and is not liabl.j to be thrown out as a result of freezing and thawing during the winter and spring. Red clover is one of the most nitrogenous of our fodders, and can !» profitably fed for alxiut two or three weeks in June. A gcod second '.-rup will be available early in August, and on rich lands a third crop alxnit Sept. 20 ia not uncommon. Alfalfa takes its place in the west. OATS AND PEAS. Uats and field peas smvn broadcast as early in the a|>rin« aa the soil can be thoroughly worked, make one of the l)est crops for July fee<l that we have yet tried. The largc-i; rowing western oats are to be perferred. Sown at the rate of 1 1-2 bush, of oats and 1 1-2 bush, of the peaa, the amount of fod- der may )» made to reach 10 to 12 tons per acre. It a lai-jaie, strawy variety of oats are sown, they will afford support to the pea vines, and serioas lodging of the fodder will _not result, except in case of very severe storms. The best plan appears to Ix-, to make two or three s.>wing3, one week or ten days apart, and to use the fodder from these areas siK'cessively. At our station in Con- necticut, the first sowing was made one year on April 17. Feeding from this area was begun June 25 and con- tinueil until July 11, the vield l>eing at the rate of 15 1-2 tons ol ^reen fodder per acre. The second sowmg was not as heavy, but gave good feed from July U to 18, the yield bein^ at the rate of IS 1-2 tons per acre. Oats and peas give one of the Ixsst crops tor summer feeding during the month of July that we have yet tried. U Ls also valuable tor making into hay, but requires a larige amount of drying in the cwk ; indeed, so much that it is often diffi- cult to make it into good hay. During the first part of August, and some seasons late in Jul^, there is a period that .teems rather difficult to cover. At this time we have used to advantage huTigarian grass sown about the first of June. In fertile soils a heavy sec- ond crop of red clover will liecome avail- able early in August, and this will fill out the time till com or some other oiXH> bet-omes available. FODDER CORN. There is perhaps no forage plant let- ter known to our farmers tnan corn. The total amount of food materials tur- nlslied by this crop i^i without doubt greater than from any other of our common green fodders. The nutritive value of The toiider is, however, much less, pound for pound, than the fotl- der of clovers, peas, or soy lieans. Wo are firmly of the Ijelief that some of the more highly nutritious fodiler plants, like soy beans and cowpeas, can lie sulnstituted for corn, and l)e grown with a smaller drain on the fertility of the soil. SOY BEANS. This valuable fodder plant was in- troduced from Japan. There are sev- eral varieties, some of which are especi- ally vaiualde for the seeds, while other.s produce little seed but a large amount of forage, "Medium IJrwn" l)eing the best Cor fora|ge. The plant grows about three feet high, li leafy and quite sue culent, and us well eaten by cattle. In fairly fertile soils it will produce ten ton.s of green fodder per aoie. It should )ie sown in drilU 2 1-3 feet aparl at the rate of 1 to I 1-4 bushels i>or acre. It may lie sown about the sam") time that corn is planted, and will pro- duce valuable totlder tor stall feediii»j Aug. 10-30. Cultivate freely in the early part of the season of growth. COWPKAS. This fodder p}ant hjis l)eeu grown by the Storrs station for the past sev- en yeam. The results have been gen- erallv satisfactory, and where the crop has f>een grown on warm soils with a literal quantity of mineral ferlilixor, yields of from ei^ht to ten tons have I <v:r: Qbtalbe<t. Mtt&t of the area seeded to this crop was feitilized onl}' with mineral fertilizers. A .small area to which nitrogen was supplied in addition to the al)ove. appeared to give no in- crease in crop. This crop has furnish- ed good feed during most of the month of Septeml)er. Consideral)le exper- ience with this valuable fotider plant leads us to re;von)inend it for green feadlng or for silage. Most seasons the crop may well l» fed from about Sept. 1 to 20. or until injurious frosts occur. Tlie yield one year was at the rate of eight tons [ler acre, while the next it gave 11 tons per acre. T'here are great differences in yield due to variety. The Clay varietv is the best for fodder, .sown in drlllB 2 i-2 feet apart at the rate of 1 to I 1-4 bush, per acre, about two weeks later than corn is usually planted. TEA-GROWING AND DRINKING. EnKli»li>l!i|»eHhlui; People Arc the breat «'un- KUiMerM* A collect iim of the statistics of the tea trade shows that the consumption of British-grown tea continues to in- crease, not only at home, but in foreign and colonial markets, says the London Standard. Up to the end of last Octol)- er about 30,000,000 pounds had l>een ab- 30rl>ed outside this country, against 24,- 000,000 at the same date in the previous year. The absolute quantity is small, but the relative increase indicates a very encouraging tendency. In view of the large amount of British capital now invested In tea-planting, and the rapid extension of the industry in recent -years, it has become a matter of great commercial importance to find new markets.

In this way he obtains a refined and rational recreation, and he furnishes his mind with famous passage suitalile for for quotation in the Senate chamber. Lucrezia Borgia was a singularly lieautiful woman, with grey eyes and yellow hair. It was said of her that her upper eyelids drooped over more thin half the iris, ao as to give the eye a languid expression. Sha had a pecu- liar trick of looking steadily sideways at those with whom she conversed, and this peculiarity invariably excited dis- trust in those who observed it. Joao de Deus, who recently died at Lislwn. was the most celebrated of modern Portuguese poets. He was bom in 1830. and studied law at the Univers- ity of Coimbra. He devted himself to poetry, ajid was hailed as a second Camoens. His puldished works are few in uiunlier, but his poems are remark- able for originality of thought and pur- ity of style and treatment. U is related that Baron de Roths- child, of Paris, ouoe called Guzman Blanco the richest man in the world. When the Venezuelan dictator protest- ed against the oomplfment Rothschild retorted:â€" "You are surely the richest man in the world, for who else has estates comprising 600,000 square miles of territory f Who else has an income jof «37.000,000f Who else has 2,.")(l0.000 ] slave's {" Guzman was noi slow in eyes.

A London firm of horse dealers advise that from January to May is the liest time to put horses on the English market.
