Grind Your Own Grain.
Editors Indiana Farmer: ,
A few words to W. H. Vs. articlo in the
Farmer of March Hth. If the farmers
would join together and build a grist mill
and do their own grinding, they would
soon have an immense trade, and would
grind for the eighth bushel, as thoy did 20
years ago. Then we got'30 to 10 pounds of
flour and 12 pounds o' oflal from a bushel.
The millers take CO pounds per bushel
now, as they used to do. Now if our
wheat tests ai pounds the miller gives you
26 pounds of flour and 12 pounds bran. I
ask where is the shortage? If the miller
takes the eighth bushel there would be 14
pounds short, somewhere. Who can tell?
And where are our middlings, as we use
call them? I would like to hear from
more of our farmer friends about this
matter. .S. A. U.

Saving: the Fertility of the Soil.
Editors Indiana Farmer:
In some parts of the State it has been
neglected, more so in the mining districts,
which should not be for some cause is true
possibly; one cause is that work can be
had at the mines at a better profit than
can be bad on the farm.
In the present condition this will occur
with men who own farms that could be
made to pay with the fertilizer that could
be at hand with proper care in the barn
yard at home. Too often the Indiana
farmer will let the best part of his fertilizer be thrown out under the eaves of the
barn and let the sun and rain destroy the
best parts contained in the manure by
such neglect. It is just as hard on our
farms to waste the manure as to haul the
hay and straw to the city which all leaves
our farm in so bad a condition of fertility.
In the first place I recommend rotation of
crops, fall wheat with clover in spring,
which I have tried with great success and
if the clover is not needed for hay do not
pasture too much in the fall, and the clover will winter well in wheatstubble. Vou
may let the clover almost be full growth
and then plow it under, say the middle of
May, and plant to corn and you will have
a good fertilizer and also the decomposition of tbe clover will create warmth to
the soil that we so much need, and cut
worms and other peste will work on the
green crop below until the sun is too hot
for them to work on the corn.
The next crop will be oats in the spring,
with clover as before. Hog the clover"as
soon as tbe oats go off, and plow and sow
to wheat or rye by the 20th of September.
Follow with clover in the spring. If you
want timothy mixed with the clover you
need not plow to get a first-class meadow.
If you want potatoes you can grow them
with profit after such rotation of crops, as
it will be futile to attempt the continuous
production  of valuable crops unless due
attention Is from the start given to main-'
tain ing the fertility of the soil. This subject is worthy of the most serious consideration. Exclusive reliance on commercial fertilizers is exceedingly expensive,
and in many towns the value of stable manure is becoming so well known that.it is
very dillicult to obtain any large supply.
If farmers would awake to tho fact that
they can save and manufacture a vastly
greater amount of fertilizing material than
they do they would materially advance
their own interests. Tho following table
showing tho avorage annual quantity of
manure produced by certain of our domestic animals is suggestive:

Thus a well stockod farm, say of 100
acres, carrying four horses, one colt, one
ox, four cows, three yearlings, two calves.
10 sheep, 10 lambs, 20 hops and 20 pigs,
would have produced upon it in one year
the enormous amount of 141,33. pounds
of solid and liquid excrement. L«et this be
compoRted with one-lifth its weight in
bedding and absorbents, and it would
give in round numbers 8"> tons of manure.
Kept under cover, so as to proveut leaching, and properly troated to prevent loss
of nitrogen by heating, this manure would
be worth according to analysis of the Ohio
F.xperiment Station ?.'5._7 per ton, or its
total value would be ?_79.9.>. The value of
this product, however, can still be greatly
increased by carefully adding to the contents of the compost pile or manure pit the
vegetable refuse of the farm pea, beau and
potato vines, turnip, carrot and beet tops,
straw.and forest leaves. All these contain
valuable fertilizing elements, and the farmer or gardner who house s his stock in
such manner that thero shall bo no waste
manure, who cares for it after it is produced instead of throwing it out to leach
away beneath the eaves of the burn, and
who takes the trouble to combine it with
the otherwise waste products of the farm,
is the one who will best succeed in applying the principles of intensive cultivation
to his land.
Much more could be said on this subject but we hope this will cause the farmers to think and save the waste going on
to some extent on their farms.

Eight Hours a Day Won't do.
Editors Indiana Farmer:
I see a letter in the Indiana Farmer of
the 14th from "Uncle John," or rather a
short lecture, to Hobert Busby, on eight
hours a day, which I thought ought to
reach tho ears of a thousand and one such
men as Kobert Husby, for I believe the
shorter the day's work is make by law the
higher will be the wages demanded by
those who are always hunting work, but
don't want to find it. Give that class
eight hours for a day's work and four dollars per day, and In six months time they
would want six hours and five dollars for
a day's work.
Uncle John said some of his day's work
were 10 hours long. That Is why he is in
comfort now. I wish to say to Kobert
Husby, and others of that class, when I
cleared up my farm I was burning brush
and log heaps when my neighbors were
in bed, at both ends of my day's work.
Now they wonder why I am so well fixed.
If a man is going to have a home of his
own, he is not going to stop at eight, ten,
twelve or even sixteen hours a day. This
eight hour blossom I think is the forrun-
nerof laziness and poverty in many a
home in this country of plenty.      I„ H,
