W. W. HAI.K, agent for the "Mes
senger" # Stock Farm, I'hilipsburg,
Centre county Pa., has just returned
from Kentucky bringing with him
from A. J. Alexander's (arm, Wood
burn, Ry., (with a view to the im
provement of stock), a four-year-old
dark bay stallion, -die Harold, sire of
Maud S-, record Dam Lady
liell by Ktliau Allen. Lady Pill has
a record of 2.32, private trial 2.20.
INVESTIGATIONS and experiments
made by the Department of Agricul
ture during the past year demonstrate
that -sugar and syrup can Ihj obtained
from cornstalks at the rate of one j
hundred pounds to every ton of green
stalks. Professor Silliinan, in a let- •
ter to the F Yorld y reviving those sugar J
researches, and nlluding to the tea
experiments, significantly concludes ,
by saying, "We shall probably have ,
more sugar from maize and sorghum
than will be requiredjfor a good while
to sweeten our own domestic green
tea."
obitua*y.
Wc are called u|>on this week to
chronicle the death of two men who
have occupied prominent positions in
American agriculture:
Mr. Micuaei, Silmvant, the larg
est cultivator of land ever known,
died in his chair on the steamer, while
on his way to Louisville, Ky. The
extent of Mr. Sili.ivant's farming
operations was enormous, lie having
ut one time owned as much as 80,000
acres of land in Illinois, and his corn
crop has reached 18,000 acres in a
single year with wheat, oats and hay
in proportion.
Mr. JOSEPH X. STURTEVANT, one
of the "Sturtevant Pros.," who have
made Waushakum Farm, in Massa
chusetts, famous, died at his residence
January 19. Although but thirty
five years of age, Mr. STURTEVANT
had won reputation as an agricultural
writer, and as one of the widely
known "Hlurtevant Pros." His early
demise will be mourned by the manv
who have learned much, and lio|* to
learn more, of progressive, practical
farming through Wausliakuiii Farm
and the Scientific Farmer.
What Breed of Fowls Bhall we Keep?
This Is a question which would,
perha|is, l>o answered by a dozen
different |>ersons by naming a dozen
different breeds, as tlieir fancy, preju
dices or experience might dictate.
Our own answer, after an experience
of half a short life time, and embrac
ing a large number of the most
popular and fasl ionable breeds,
would lie unhesitatingly in favor of
the American Pose-comb Dominique'
Those who breed thorough-hrcd fowls
for pleasure and for sale at liigli
prices, and who have time to can' for
t tern with the same assiduity that
they would care for thorough-bred
cattle or horsy*, may, ol course, let
their fancy dictate largely In making
choice; but tbe farmer, who finds all
his time and that of his family and
the people about him, fully taken up,
demandsa fowl that, with the minimum
of care and attention will give him
the maximum of eggs and meat, fur
•ale or for borne consumption. This,
after having bred them exclusively
for three years we think we have
found in the American Dominique.
They have proven themselves with us
to be extremely hardy and free from
disease, fully large enough for table
use, prolific layers, both winter and
summer, the best of molters, and
with that happy medium of activity
which makes thcin much better fora
gers thou the cluujsy, dependent
Asiatics, and much more docile and
fillet than the restless, nervous non
setters. Willi a little painstaking in
•electing the best to breed from, and
in introducing fresh blood every two
or three years, they breed with great
uniformity in style and color, and
thus furnish a beautiful, sightly Hock,
instead of the multi-colored and
multi-formed dung-hill, with all its
good qualifications added. One of
their most admirable characteristics
is their extreme hardiness and free
dom from disease. "Long John
Wontworth," of Chicago, who keeps
no other sort on his celebrated stock
farm, says that the true test of a
Dominique is its ability to roost on
an apple tree alt winter and yet pro
duce at least one egg every other day.
We do not advocate the application
of this test, but hold that with reason
able care, such as can be given by
any farmer, they will give better
returns than any other brood we
know of.
Profits of Thorough Culture
The following paragraph holds as
true in regard to any and all farm
crops, as it does with tobacco, and wc
give it as another answer to our
query, How can wc make fanning
pay'!
Thorough culture is the great se
cret of the Connecticut Valley to
bcaeo-growers' success in producing
heavy crops of extra tobacco which
have li ilierto well paid the producer.
Time was when their tobacco was a
drug in tbe market at two or three
cents per pound, and no more than
800 to 1,000 pounds per acre were
grown; later years I have known
2,900 pounds grown on a single acre,
and the crop from one acre to lie sold
in market for SI,OOO to $1,200. This
resulted from a combination of causes,
but would not have I teen bad the old
methods of careless culture Is-cn con
tinued. Much experience has tuuglit
us that the only load to success i* in
doing all the work, Ac., connected
with the producing of the crop in a
most thorough and careful manner,
and he who uses the most care and
cultivates the most thoroughly re
ceives the greater reward in the shape
of price for Ids tobacco.
Agricultural Editor's Table.
Thk Ilurul AVic Yorker, now in its
thirty-eighth volume, is one of the
"old reliables" among agricultural
weeklies. Like good wine, it iin.
proves with age, and is now equal to
the best. A feature peculiar to it is
tbe free seed distribution. It pub*
lialies a list of nineteen varieties of
seeds, a small package of any ten of
which will !*• sent free to every sub
scriber to the paper who sends in hi*
subscription before May Ist.
I.v these days of cheap and beauti
ful picture-making, it is not unusual
for proprietors of trashy papers, ami
indeed of some good ones too, to
offer presents of chrntnos to each
siiiiscribcr. While many of these
gifts have been comparatively worth
less, some have licen really meritori
ous as works of art, and desirable as
ornaments to the bouse ; but it lias
been left to the Poultry World to
achieve the greatest success in this
direction, by publishing ss-itli each
monthly number a really beautiful
and artiste picture. True, these are
not quite "given away," but the small
additional price charger) for the
"eliromo edition"—seventy-five cents
—makes them cost lint a fraction
over six cents each, and every one of
them is well worth n dollar, even in
these hard times, to any lover of
poultrj*. Tiny arc not small, cheap
daubs, but |*rtraits of the finest
sjsfimens of prominent breeds of
fowls, drawn ami colored from lib
subjects, by an artist employed ex
clusively for the purpose. The larger
sine of them, nine by eleven inches,
gives opportunity for the correct
delineation of the splendid feathering
of the largest birds, and the study of
a set of them will do more to give a
novice n knowledge of iheapiicnratice
of the different broods of fowl* than
lie can learn from books in a week.
We have great f.tilli in the possibili
ties of poultry raising for the wives
and daughters of farmers, and shall

How Gau We Hake Farming Pay ?
A letter from F. P. Hoot to the
agricultural editor of tliu World, un
der the title of "Count Costs and
Plan (or Profits,"is so ajtropoi to our
query that we quote from it at length
in continuation of the subject:
We have not learned to bring our
production up to pay profits on ex
lienses. The cost of cultivating
lands cannot be profitably reduced
below present rates, but returns may
be largely increased at trilling ex
pense which will make a huge differ
ence in the margin of profit. To il
lurtrate this principle, let us look at
what it now costs to grow grain in
the State of New York and what it
ought to cost under 11 wise and better
system of cultivation. Grain grow
ing, we know, is not the chief inter
est of our State, but as my acquain
tance with this branch of husbandry
assures me of the truth of my esti
mate I choose this, and will take the
cost of wheat-growing as in the past
and compare with what it may ami
must lie m the future to return any
degree of profit to the grower. I
have lunde repeated estimates ami
accurate accounts of the cost of uu
acre of wiutei wheal in labor, seed,
Ac., and found it to average about
$1" |'i' acre, and on the average of
farms ami present cost of labor it
will exceed rather than fall below
that figure. Then to this add the in
terest on capital, which cannot la
less than $7 ; for the average farm
worth $Tu per acre, after deducting
woodland, rock, fences, Ac., would
bring the tillage hunt at least at £'.)o ;
add sln, the cost of cultivating crop,
and it makes a capital of sloo. Then
if we allow the cost of fertilization,
which must !>e supplied now or at u
future time to keep the soil good, it
cannot be less than to keep good
the capita! in motion. We then find
the cost of an acre of wheal to be as
follows :
I.il*r aril • wl until fiG
|H|| frsl ■ r. ( | M ,1 m ,
IWi My •glim *-i ot i, *■ Hm ,• $
AfffTftgnL r.wl of n Hff of *tiet . fJO
The statistical reports of the yield
of wheat in this Slate vary fioin
eleven to sixteen or seventeen bushels
|ST Herein different seasons. Now,
if we allow sixteen bushels as the
yield, which is above the average fur
any term of years past, we find the
cost of every bushel to the grower to
is.* $1.25; or if we allow fifteen bush
els to le the average yield, which is
nearer the truth.it will cost $1.33|
;cr bushel. Farmers arc not accus
tomed to reckon interest on capital
and loss of fertility of every crop,
but it is as legitimate a charge a*
the interest on capital and the wear
of machinery is for the manufac
turer. We then see that there is a
loss to the average farmer of our
State of from 25 to 33 cents on every
hushel ot wheat lie sells at this sea
son's prices. This, if continued,
will make hard times still harder.
Hut it is not so to continue. There
is a spirit of improvement now stir
ring the minds of our farmers and
they will not long continue to farm
their lands with no profits or gain,
for capital and American skill have
enabled us to excel all Eurn|ie in the
excellence of agricultural bails ami
labor-saving machinery, and why can
we not excel also in the cultivation
of the soil ? We have espial advan
tages of soil nml climate, and there
is now a necessity resting iqxjii us
for improvement in the art of culti
vation, for the old ways have failed.
Kuropeau agriculture has more than
doubled its former returns by the
use of chemical fertilizers nml a
more thorough system of cultivation,
ami it will not b? many years liefore
our American farmers, having caught
the spint of progress, will vie wuli
tin-in in agriculture as we now do in
art and manufactures. The ro|ort
that over five thousand bushels of
wheat ami considerable amounts of
oilier cro|>s are produced in one sea
son on a farm of 202 acres in France
looks to our farmers nil extravagant
statement. When we learn that the
yield was from forty to sixty busbels
per acre we sis- it might 1: attainable,
nml we know that such yields are
|a>ssible, for they have Wen produc
ed in our own country. Now let ns
look at the cost of growing wheat in
our State, under a lietU-r system of
husbandry. We will assume that it
will cost no more Inlior to cultivate
land when rich nml clean of foul
stutf than it does now under our less
thorough system—it would really re
quire less labor, for n fertile soil ts
easier cultivated than a sterile soil.
We will estimate as at the present
time:
F'f t*b*r A9t<i *

Tolall r-dftt |irf Hffs VhlU.aiwMammmmi.a SJ4 t*
Wc will estimate the return |cr
acre 110 more than many thorough
fanners have harvested in )oar* past,
and occasional crojw have far exceed
ed—that is, thirty bushels JKT acre—
which will make the grain cost 8
cents |>er bushel. Thus we see the
difference ill the cost of growing a
bushel of wheat under the new nys
tcm as cmi pa rs I with the old.
Wheat Csii Im grown for 80 cents
which now cost* $1.25 or $1:1.1. In
the nliove estimate I make no se
j count of threshing and marketing of
grain nor of the value of straw, but
allow the latter to be worth the form
er cost. I know that many farmers
will *ay that a yield of thirty bushels
|H;r aerc can not lie realized for a term
of years. We do not aver that it
can.be on nil landa, for nil are not
well adapted to winter wheat, but
may be equally profitable for other
branches of fanning; but we do
know that good wheat Inuds can lie
made to yield that amount and more
under best cultivation. My own
crop has averaged altout that yield
for several years past and others have
exceeded it,and what haslieeii attain
ed by a few may In- gained by all un
der like circumstances and under
like means.
Funlamenta! Principles.
! from tin* firm Journal ]
A good deal is said about the
"Fundamental Principles of Agricul
ture," in the agricultural press. Now,
if there are any fundamental princi
ples of agriculture they consist in
thorough tillage ami plenty of rich
barn-yard manure. Whoever gives
practical endorsement to these princi
ples will succeed at fanning.
