The prospective shortage for hay may be met in part by proving forage crop* to be eaten off in the fields, writes Thorn. Shaw. These, in th* absence of pasture*, may defer the season of feeding, tod ju*t in proportion a* they do they become substi- tute* foi the fodder that has been stored up for winter. Among the crops that may thus be grown, barley, ry*, rape, and turnips may be mentioned. Bari*y, a* every one knows, is a quick growing crop. If sown just aftsr an early crop has been removed, it will, m many section, almost reach lhe string stage before winter eels in, and when a slaud can be obtain*! to the extent named, it will furnish a large amount of pasture or of soiling crop per acre. Of course it w. , not stand pasturing by oatlle very well, 'ui if eaten off be.'or* it get* too far advanced, it will come on again and grow ,o quickly that it may be repastured two or tbree limes be lor* ih* winter o!o*ei in. It will sland prelty neavy frosts withoul much injury, but care should bo taken not to pa-ture It when covered with rnyme. It answers splendidly for sheep, ' ' ire a would not he well to go to tbe sip* use of growing tin* orOj> as indicated, unless lo meel in part a (bortags in winter fodder*. Winter ry* may be town any time after harvest wnen mois'ur* euoug'i is round in th* soil to secure germination. The prr- parauon of the soil for this crop wilt defend on the character of the eame. I'h- stitK-r th* toil naturally the greater II. need for ploughing it when preparing il for rye. Un lhe prairie . t may not be nscesvary lo plough ihe coil. The eeed may lie uroad- casted and covered with die disc harrow, followed by a smoothing harrow, that u, by an ordinary harrow, or the ground may be disced and the seed *owu with th* gram drill. Two bushel* of seed ptr acre of ilher barley or rye will suffice. Th* vain* of ry* a* a pasture in autumn will be dependent on moisture and lhe length of lhe season for growth. In northerly lati- tude* near Ih* Canadian boundary it may nol be advieahl* lo sow winter rye wilh lhe expectation of gelling mucu pasiur- from it in lhe autumn. Kape is probably th* moit valuable pasture crop that can b* gr >wu in lli* autumn. Sow il in corn just i<eti* th* last cult nation given lo th* corn. Us* say iwo or three pounds of seed per acre and you may get a good a 1 and ot rap* winch can be pastured after the ooru is removed. Or it may be sown ou any kind of ilubble gr. und that has tirst ueen <liscel and hanovred, So let* in me season it wouid not be well, perhaps, to tow more than three or four pouuds of *eed pet acre. Th* value of ih. crop will lie dependent on the rainfall and lhe strength l the land. Il would nol be well to grow rape thus on heavy laud. Lotm soils will grow it in good form. This crop may be pasture*! by either cattl* or ilieep, and il will stand mure froat without injury than any other pMturf crop that w* grow. The Dwarf Knex rape will yet prov* a great boon to this western country. 1'he writer is greatly encouraged by results ob- tained from growing thu plant the present season. It will yet prove a vsnlaUe g. d- semi to tin* prairi* region. Th* experiment* referred lo will be published in due lime, and, farmers, 1 tell you beforehand, that in some respect* these rvsults will sound more lit* fable than sober mailer of fad. Kali lurnipi may be sown abuul the same in all retptuil* as rape and under similar conditions. They have no advantage over the Dwarf Kssex rape unless it be that in some locali'lei the aeed may be more easily nl> ainod. The seed of th* turnips may be mixed with rape seed and Ihe two grown together, limy may he pastured wilh oat- tie or uliei'H. H- oareful to sow the fall turnip*. Kuial ligas would grow too slow- ly. Now remember, farmers, I am not re- commending the growth of Iheae crops as a pin of a sealed syntem, but to meet the fie.nicy of the shortage in hay and fodder which is confronting the agriculturul in aome section*. An i ysi they would urob ibly pay wsll enough In any season under 'avorable condition*.

A story was recently told of how a preacher tested tne effect of the hard times upon hi* congregation. At the conclusion of on* of hi* sermons, he said : "Let vsrybody in the hou*e who pay tbeir debts stand up." Instantly svery man, woman and child, with one exception, arose to their feet.

The ex- ception noted, a care- worn, hungry individu- al, clothed in hi* last-summer suit, slowly atsumed a perpendicular position, and leaned upon til* back of the seal in front of h m. "How is it, my friend," inquired the minister, "that you ire tbe only man in this large congregation whe is unable to meet his obligations ?" "1 publish a news- paper," he meekly replied, " and my brethren here, who r.ave just stood up are all my *ubscrib*rs, and '' "Let us pray,!" siclaimed the minister.
