Prof, Holden, the pert western corn ex- [ meetings, speaking of and grass grown on the farm; a better way Is to grow more on the crops and sell the beef, figures this way: Every time a farmer sells a ton of wheat he sells $11.62 in fertility; in a ton of clover hay he sells $8.62 In fertility: in a ton of alfalfa hay he sells $7.81 In fertility, and in a ton of corn he sells $6.47 In fertility. It these products be fed on the farm un. der proper conditions, and the result ing manure be returned to the soll, there is a very slight loss of fertility, for the following finished products may be sold Instead: In selling a ton of finished heef on the hoof, the farmer gells but $5.37 in fertility; in a ton of live hogs he sells but $3.70 in fertility; in a ton of milk he sells but $1.48 In fertility; in a ton of cheese he sells but sixty-nine cents in fertility, and in a ton of butter he sells The twenty-seven cents in fertility, policy the farmer to adopt is that system of corn and crop rotation which will embrace not the growing of grain, but the breed ing and feeding of stock, either for sale in the form of beef or pork, or for the production, whether for milk, cheese and butter, The profe advocates the cattle on the farm, and sists Eastern farmers will grow more dent corn, and that alfalfa will considerably here if farmers will drain soil to a sufficient depth to make sweet, thoroughly firm, early best for nl oni} 801° growing feeds in that soon be Zrown thoroughly the the pulverize it, solid seedbed, sow- in August.

As far in the soil is conce also, it is a wasteful process to pile manure in the yards or elsewhere and allow {t to rot. It is wise to follow that method when, any special reason, rotted manure is needed, but it is destructive of the humus, “The importance of humus in pre venting the drying out of soils can- not be too strongly impressed.” the was ha 18 the f rned for THE CODLING MOTH. The codling moth, an old and dan: gerous enemy to fruit growers, has recently received further attention from the Ohio agricultural experiment station, at Wooster. Spraying (with Bordeaux mixture and arsenate of lead, or arsenate of soda), has been found the most practical and effective way of controlling the pest. It has been conclusively demonstrated that “if the apple be coated with a thin layer of poison at the point where the young worm cuts its way in, enough will be consumed to cause the death of the insect.” The elaborate experi. ments reported showed that 91 per cent. of the frult from sprayed plots was free from injury; whereas of that from unsprayed plots only 57 per cent. could be so classed. Arsenate of lead was found to be superior In killing power to arsenate of soda.

A report comes from Troy, N. Y., of a strike, closing up certain mills, over a question involving an outlay §2 a week only, Each mill is allowed to employ two boys, known as “board from the peculiar work which they do. The borders of one mill asked for a change from a piece a weekly basis, which meant a differ ence of 60 cents a week in the wages of each. The employers refused to grant it, and so ali the employes went out on a strike. The report adds that the weather was warm, making it for tunate for the employes, and also that the manufacturers have long been wanting an opportunity to make some repairs in thelr mills, conditions which go far to explain how so trifling a matter should be allowed to occasion a shutdown at a time when the knit. ing business was never more prosper ous. Often an Inclination to stop work on either side, or both, has quite as much to do with fomenting discord as the activities of a labor agitator, «J/The Boston Transcript. of ers,” 10 FADED TO A SHADOW.
