Now there are ten substances which enter irto the fabric of plants. Of these, three ave of the greatest importance, viz., nitro-| gen, phosphoric acid and potash. The far- uwers of this Province will, no doubt, hear more about these substances from Mr. Shuttleworth, whose appointment here may be regarded as a fortunate circumstance for the Province; for he has already done Ontario a great service by the part he took in the establishment of Farmer’s clubs.

It may shortiy be said that the nitrogen in the soi! supplies muscle ; phosphoric acid builds up the bony structure and the nerves;

while phosphoric acid supplies heat and energy. Ifa man sells the whole crop from his field, be sends away all these things which the plants take out of the soil. He jeends these substances, which are of value ito him, off to someone else. But if, instead

cow produces. In selling the milk he will ‘send away less than twenty per cent. of | {hese valuable constituents which the plants | contained, and leave 80 per cent. to gu back jegsin into the snl.

| Farmers are very apt to forget that manures sre cf value only as they contain ihe three substances which huve been named. On the average, there are in every ton of horse aud catile manure be- tween 19 and 29 pounds of these three ~ubstances. Ifaman, by careless treat- iment or neglect, loses these 19 to 29 pounds, the rest of the substance is of ne value fur feeding. What remains may

end look exactly as ordinary msuure would took; but it is of no use to the farmer. For jack of knowledge, or on account of care- jessness, farmers frequently let the valu- able portions of their barnyard manure trickle away, ge‘ting no returns tor it what- ever; whcreas, 1f they would save those sub- sances, the old sun would multiply their value a thousand fold. A man who sells | 31000 worth of butter, sells less than $i | worth of these substances. So that a man who farms skillfully and inteiigently, can oe a mauufaciurer, giving hisraw material | the greatest increase of value possible to }obtain. Much the larger part of the total ‘nitrogen of the voidings of animals is con- rained in the urine. ‘This liquid should be ali absorbed by litter, and put with the ma- aure. It is folly to bore a two-inch augur 10le behind each cow. The flocr of th. ; stable should be water-tight and sprinkled i *reeiy with abserbeats. Escaping steam {.rom the nianure, too, carries off nitrogen, and the only way to prevent that loss is to , lave the whole of the manure well-mixed gether and gypsum (or land plaster) sprinkled over it. Gypsum will always fix he escaping ammonia, and thus prevent he loss of nitrogen. Every dollar's vorth of plaster will save five doilars’ worth of plant food. Great waste, too, arises from the leaching of lmanure. If a farmerwanted to make soft soap, he would not bea wiss man if he wheeled the svap barrei into the angle of itwo buildings where the ashes, as he put hem in, would be rained upon by all the rain that ran from the roofs, because he was not yet ready to make his soap. The cain running down through the ashes would earry off che lye, and when he got ready to make bis soap, he would be very badly left ; tor the lye would have left some time be- ‘ure. So the man who treats his manure vile in that way may have as large a quantity and weight as his more careful neighbor, but it will be of no more value than so much saw dust, and be will fail to vealize his. expectations. Leached ashes vill not make soap, and leached manure will not make plauts grow vigorously. | Now, a few words about corn, and the {silo, Fodder corn is the most serviceable jof any of the plants grown in our Dominion, corn Can their land right variety. in was grown to

In the construction of a silo the farmer must Lear two things in mind: (1) it mustn’t cost too much, and (2) it must be efficient in preserving the corn that is put into it. A man can build a silo inside of a bara at a total cost of about $70. If ary farmer in this province, who desires to

build such a silo, will give me his name and

address, a pamphiet will be sent to him from Ot\awa, giving full directions concern- ing the best modes of construction.

There is a disposition to question the wholesomeness of ensilage. ell, I have never seen avimals more healthy than cowa fed with the contents of the silo. In tnia connection, the statement of an old Dutch- man muy be mentioned. He had erecied a silo and wade ensilage, and was attending a. farmers’ meeting, when he was asked to **Vell,” said he, atter he began to understand the weaning of the word ‘“‘effects,” “the first effect is that I save all the hair of mine cattle. i used to lose all mine hair in the fields, bu! aow it all comes off in tie stable, and i save it, and the cow straightens bim- self out end stands square likes ein gentle- man.” There. is a geod deal in this, Cattle which lose their hair in the etuble are thrifiy and im good condition,

Bat thore is another point of view from which this question of feeding 1s tu be con- sidered. A cow always boards on some- body—exts at somebody’s expense. But J cannet atord to board her for the sake of ‘her company. I cann-t afford tu keep ‘either wen or cattle about me who do not |pay their board. If ten cows board in my ‘siable, they board on me, aud 1 look fer |payfortheirboard. If] find that fiveof those cows are aot paying for their beard, I ata ‘not likely to keep them for their society, or because { am fond of jocvking at them, Neither doi think, though some persons would say so; that it would be fair for me to pajm them off upon my neighbors, That would not be good farming nor gvod citizenship. The unprofitable cows should be sent to the butcher. Perhaps some of you will need to know the kind of cow that is likely to pay for her beard. A _ reall

good nuleh cow will have a long udder lotizih wise of her body, and it should be el- astic in quality, which means room for the muk. Sne should have a soft skin ve

me low and movable, and covered ie glossy silky hair. That a cow has only one skin is self evident—one skin around her body and clear througn by way of her stumach. The skin outside, if coarse or harsh, means sluggish digestion inside, and the cow that does not digest her food well ig an expensive cow. Thena cow should have a large roomy barrel for holding plenty of good reugh bulky, cheap food, This barrel should be filled up twice a day. it will pay a man who has neverdone so totry the experiment of feeding his cow twice aday. ‘Those who have done ao have never gone back to any other prac- tice. Then, again, while a large barrel is nm iniication of profit making power, it will pay a man to see to itthat the milk veins uader a cows barrel are prominent. Prominence is a far more important ‘ndica- tion ihau actual size would be. Firm muscles mean good constitution. A cow should a'so have broad Joius and a long rump. She should have a rather long lean neck with clean cut and prominent eyes. These last indicate enduring power to stand the strain of a long milking season. If a cow haa these points she will, if comfort- ably kept and well fed, p»y for her board. Moreover, she should be made to pay for her board just as she eats it. That man is not a good manager who lets his cows board on him for six months in the year without paying and then expect them to pay for the whole year’s board in the other six months. {t can hardly be expected that the cow will pay for her winter’s board in the summer. A inan will give a dollar aweek t« his church when nothing would induce him to give $50 at one time. So acow will pay for her board if oniy she be kept at work. She should be milked for two and a half months in each year, She should not be permiited to close down for the winter—she should be kept at the job. She will give more milk if her milking season begins in October than if it begins between March and May. If a cow calves in March or April she dries up, as a watter of course, during the cold weather of the following winter, and, of course, fsils t» psy for her board.
