"I should like it all over again," said Miss Tyrell, sitting back in her seat, as the curtain fell on the first act. (To be continued), The Care and Handling of Milking Machines. Seven different kinds of mechanical milkers have been operated under 'ford of 8. If the above points are observed, many cows need no stripping.

The results of his experience are summed up in the fol- lowing nine points which contain many valuable suggestions, both for users of the milking machine and for those who contemplate installing them, 1.

He pushed his way to the window and bought a couple of pit -stalls; the mate, who had tot consulted him, bought upper circles, and, with a glance at the ladies, pushed open the swing -doors.

Outside the liouse,the two ladies paired off, leaving the two men to follow behind. The mate noticed, with a strong sense of his own unworthiness, that the two ladies seemed thoroughly en- grossed in each other's company, and oblivious to all else. A suggestion from Flower that he should close up about the plays she had seen, until a tuning of violins from the orchestra caused her to lean forward, her lips parted and her eyes beaming with anticipation. "I do hope the others have got good seats," she said, softly, as the overture finished; "that's every thing, isn't it?" "I hope so," said Fraser. IIe leaned forward excitedly, Not because the curtain was rising, but because he had just caught sight of a figure standing up inthe centre of the pit -stalls. He had just time to call his companion's attention to it when the figure, in deference to the threats and entreaties of the people behind, sat down and was lost in the crowd. "They have gob good seats," said Deep Stirring v. Deep Plowing. Deep plowing is not so much preached now, since the bringing up of the substratum to the surface is not altogether wise. Deep stirring, however, is 'another thing—and this is encouraged to give air to the roots, hence the success of dynamiting. At the same time, as pointed out by the "Field," London, the fact that deep cultivation is not always advantage- ous should not be regarded as justifi- cation for going too far in the oppo- site direction, as unquestionably many do. In this connection it is well to observe the distinction between deep plowing and deep stirring. The former is often a risky proceeding, but the latter hardly ever, and the more -it is perseverer with the greaee4 er becomes the rooting area and the cropping capabilities of the soil. The important thing to avoid, and which proved the undoing of the deep fur- row theory, is the transposition of top and under soils. - As far as prac- ticable the latter should be kept at the bottom of the tilled stratum until it is improved mechanically and che- mically through bacterial action, promoted by tillage and judicious manuring. An example of the room that ob- tains for discretion in regarding the depth of furrow is provided by a simple experiment carried out in Morayshire in connection with the Ab- erdeen College of Agriculture. A field that had been 'two years in grass, chosen for its suitability for the pur- pose, was plowed at depths of 4r in., 6 in., and 734 in., and sown with oats, the treatment in every other way be- ing the same throughout. It is in- teresting, and may , even be a little puzzling, to note the influences of the varying depths upon the crop. The best return both of grain and straw was obtained ,from the 6 in. furrow, the deeper furrow being a good sec- ond, while it was evident that 444 was an insufficient depth for that field. The only point in favor of the shal- lowest furrow was that the crop rip- ened rather earlier than on the other portions. This advantage, however, was gained at too big a sacrifice of quantity and quality of yield. All the samples gave the same weight per bushel, 44 lbs. of dressed grain. The returns of dressed grain were seventy - ones, bushels, 8. lbs.; eighty-five iiivaliels 5 lbs.; and eighty-three bushels, 4 lbs., per acre, respectively; of light grain, 170 lbs., 155 lbs., and 130 lbs.; and of straw and i hall, 43 cwt., 451/2 cwt., and 43% cwt, The soil is described as of a sharp black gravelly nature of a good depth, but whatever might be the result of deep stirring, it is evident that no imme- diate object is to be served by ex- ceeding on it a 6 in. furrow. Saving Pastures For Next Summer. In order that the live stock which have been doing well on pasture dur- ing the summer months may maintain their gains, and for the sake of sav- ing the pasture for another season, the farmer should take care that his, ani- mals are brought in and started on winter feed before the season becomes too late. Cattle and horses, more es- pecially the latter, if left out in Octo- ber and November are very likely to crop the pasture so close that there will not be sufficient winter protection for the roots of the plants, and in spite of their efforts to secure suffi- cient nourishment by this means, will go back in flesh. Milch cows are particularly suscep- tible to the action of cold or wet weather, and one or two nights of frost while they are lacking the shel- ter of the barn will set back the milk !law to such an extent that the work of restoring it by extra feeding will prove very costly. The best results from added feed can always be ob- tained when the animal is kept up to top notch all the time. If the land is firm enough late in the fall to allow of the stock being turned out without doing damage to the surface, then the plan of turning out during the warm hours of the day is a good one, but in this practice pro- vision must be made for feeding of a plentiful ration of green feed in the barn, as the pastures after a heavy frost has occurred are not to be great. ly depended on for feed.
