A biIAL extending the act exempt
ing the State and certain County ag
ricultural societies from taxation, to
all the counties of the State, litis pass,
ed the house at liarrishurg on second
reading.
A uil.l, has been introduced into
the House of Representatives, at
liarrishurg,authorizing the Board of
Agriculture to offer a bounty of one
cent per pound upon the liest sugar
manufactured in the State from Penn
sylvania beets during the coining ten
years, provided tin: amount so paid
shall not exceed $lO,OOO jier year.
This is a move in the right direction
—a subsidy we approve of. We hope
it will pass.
AFTER a long and spirited debate
the house, last week, voted down with
considerable emphasis, a bill to pre
vent stock of nil kinds from running
at large in this commonwealth. The
discussion of the merits and demerits
of the bill furnished opportunity for
the display of a good deal of dema
gogue ry on the part of a large number
of alleged agricultural statesmen.
A COMMISSION on beet sugar in
Delaware, appointed two years since,
has made a report, and recommends
State aid toward the erection of a
manufactory. In pursuance of their
investigations they have offered three
prizes for the best crops, and the first
baa been awarded to a crop in Kent
county, which indicated a sugar
yield of nearly seven thousand
pounds per acre. Seven thousand
pounds of sugar at, say live cents
per pound, would pay somewhat bet
ter than fifteen hundred pounds of
wheat at one and one-half cents per
pound, and yet wheat-growing has
not asked for "State aid.'' There's
a little too much "indication" about
thi9.
THE dread cattle plague, pleuro
pneumonia, has invaded our neigh
boring state, New York, hut, on the
authority of Secretary Harrison, of
the State Agricultural Society, is con
fined to Htaten Island and Kings ;
county. On Thursday last Secretary
Harrison and a deputation of Assem
blymen waited upon Gov. Robinson
in reference to the matter, urging
prompt action. The Governor at
once "issued nn order to Dr. Law, of
Cornell University, who has given
the disease of cattle special attention,
to proceed at once to those points,
and after a thorough examination re
port without delay what steps arc
necessary to arrest the disease. Sen
ator Pierce was likewise directed to
communicate with the Hoard of
Health of Brooklyn to render all
needful assistance to Dr. Law in the
prosecution of his mission. Chapter
134 of the laws of 1878 gives the
Governor power to call upon sheriffs
and their assistants and police force
wherever it is necessary to break up
the disease."
Cultivating Wheat.
Spring approaches rapidly, and we
are anxious that the experiment of
harrowing wheat should be tried by
a large number of Centre county
farmers. We shall refer to the sub
ject more at length before tho season
arrives, but in the meantime should
like to have our friends think care
fully over the following:
WIIY OES MAIZE YIEMI TWICE
AH MUCH AH WHRAT?—Referring to
A dicussion upon this topic in the
American Cultivator, Professor Heal
says : "The two crojw are not treat
ed with e<|ual fairness. The wheat
is uaually aown (when it yields fifteen
buahels to the acre) and allowed to
struggle with weeds and a baked soil,
while the Indian corn, if we consid
er workings in both directions, is
cultivated from four to six times dar
ing its early growth.
(live wheat good cultivation after
the plants come up, and we all know
by numerous experiments that the
yield is very greatly Increased. Per
haps Mr. Harris has never seen the
experiment tried of planting Indian
corn and then allowing it to fight its
jr ; | ' ."iP
own way with grass nnd weeds, with
no hoeing by hand or by horse. In
Michigan wo have tried tliin valuable
experiment on corn whether by de
sign or shiftlcssncss it doea not mat
ter. The result on the maize was
amazing, and far from gratifying. 1
have not seen the crops measured,
but I am certain in somo cases there
could not have been fifteen bushels of
shelled corn to the acre."

Winter Care of Sheep.
< \rrr*|H)n<lrm r of Country (Hritlefuari.
Sheep are, in my experience, the
best stock a farmer can keep, consid
ering the amount of labor needed in
taking care of them. There is no
stock that needs every day the care
ful eye of the owner, more than
sheep, and the better they are kept,
and the more care used in watching
over them, the better they will pay.
I am well satisfied that if there is
any profit in keeping stock, it must
pay to keep them well. Sheep hus
bandry lias the advantage over
dairying of making no extra work
for the farmer's wife, and this 1 con
sider an advantage of great impor
tance, for as a rule (and there are
very few exceptions) farmers' wives
have all, and frequently more than
they can do well, under the most
favorable circumstances.
1 have wintered sheep on hay (in
fact this was my practice previous to
last winter) giving them a little grain
in spring at lambing time, but this
course, although increasing the milk
for the lambs, generally started the
wool on the sheep, which often lost
all from the belly before shearing
time, thereby taking away a large
percentage of the profits. Last
winter 1 had thirty sheep, and con
cluding to make a new department in
sheep feeding, I began feeding corn
when first shut up, giving them four
quarts daily, scattering it in troughs
so that all could get some, contin
uing with this quantity until the first
of February, when I doubled it, giv
ing eight quarts, which was their
daily ration up to lainhing, when 1
gave sixteen quarts, being a trifle
over one pint to each sheep. They
had during the whole time as much
hay as they would eat In the morn
ing and at night, and they had also
alnjut twice a week a feed of cither
pine or hemlock boughs, generally
hemlock, as the sheep seemed to pre
fer it. They were salted regularly,
and had all the water they wouid
drink, the quantity Wing from six to
eight pails daily. These sheep win
tered better than any I ever had be
bringing large and very strong
lambs, and were covered with a heavy
fleece of wool and holding it *A*U un
til shearing, nnd wero in all respects
very profitable.
] now have a flock of forty-eight,
and feeding (on account of scarcity
of hay) more grain and less hay than
last winter. 1 ain giving them hay
in the morning, and nt night eight
quarts of feed, (wheat, bran and
corn meal mixed) and as much oats
in the sheaf as they will eat clean.
Hut although they are doing well, 1
can perceive no improvement over
last winter's feeding. I think al
though cattle may lie wintered on
meal, that sheep really need cither
hay or straw, as their appetites crave.
If fed straw they would need more
grain than if fed hay. If I were
living where I could not get either
pine or hemlock, 1 would raise ruta
imgns for nn occasional feed. They
can lie grown very cheaply with prop
er care, and I may some time give
my method of growing them, as I
now raise some quantity of them for
feeding my cattle. I give the sheep
about one quart each every two or
three days, nccording to the quanti
ty on band.
Milk for Fattening Fowls,
From th. P'ml try Ywl.
To enable one to fatten fowls or
chicks quickly, it is absolutely neces
sary to give such food as will accom
plish the purpose best, and to this
end we unhesitatingly recommend
plenty of milk in any state, from
fresh to thick. This should tie fed
in connection with a grain diet, for
one counteracts any poasihle delete
rious influence of the other. If kept
in a darkened place and fed unspar
ingly on milk, with grain in pro|ier
proportions,yon will soon have some
thing very choice to ofler up on your
tables to your friends, as well as to
your family. When milk is fed no
water is required for fattening fowls.
Two Foolish Farmers.
At an expense of $6O to the peo
ple, besides bis own lawyer's fees, a
farmer of Jones county, la., has re
covered 1 cent from a man he sued
for fourteen fence rails, worth 10
cents each.
A farmer from .Springfield, la.,
went to Cedar ltapids, got into a
state of ebullient inebriety and sold
his s2f>o horse for $62, which, how
ever, made no difference, for on the
road homo be was robbed of his
money.
The Farm a Machine— The Fanner a
Manufacturer.
This caption will bo familiar to
those who have ntU-udcd lectures by
J'rof. StockbridgC. Starting out
with this statement, tlie Professor il
lii at rates it nbont ns follows : You
own a machine in the form of hunt.
Into this machine you put a stated
amount of stock in the form ol plant
food, out of which you propose with
the help of Nature ami your own
labor combined to manufacture corn
or |K)tatocs or grass as the case may
In*. In other words, if your machine,
the soil, is not burnt up by the scorch
ing sun in the absence of rain, or
washed away by too much rain ; in
short, if the conditions are those of
an average season, you will get out
of your machine valuable products
in proportion as you supplied the
necessary stock in the shape of plant
food, and faithfully applied your own
lubor. Yet there is one great advan
tage which this machine—a farm—
lias overall others; it only requires
that its fortunate owner shall supply
from one to five per c nt. of the stock
necessary for the production of a
product like corn, fir example, while
the balance, ninety-Ave to ninety-nine
|kt cent., it will generously secure
for its owner from the air and sky
above and around it. It works for
its owner night and day; it never
tires; it only says, attend to me skil
fully, and I will return for every five
per cent, of stock you supply one
hundred |*r cent, of the richest or
rarest or most delicious of earth's
products.
THE I'.tUMr.lt AS A MANL'PACTT/RKR
A wonderful machine surely, but
what of the farmer as a manufactur
er And upon thin point we cannot
do belter than to quote the words of
Mr. •Sturtevnnt in the SrifiUifiv Farm
rr for Keptemlicr: "It in here that
the idea of manufacture comes in.
One farmer will, through the use of
machinery, and the Ust methods,
cultivate and harvest chca|H*r than
another, and, through tin- quality of
liis harvest, or his own skill, obtain
the highest market rat-*; while an
other farmer w ill art so cxpcnsivelv
as to have little surplus. It is this
difference of skill in the farmer as a
manufacturer which causes the differ
ent ideas of profit which prevail.
"1 he fanner who sells the accum
ulated fertility of his land without
thought of replacement is in the con
dition of the mill-owner who divides
his surplus capital as dividend; it
may Is- proper, it may IM> advisable;
hut it decreases the future value of
the shares.
" I he farmer who rniscs crops smal
ler than Ins op|tortiiiiities admit of is
in the condition of the manufacturer
who does not use nil his capital in his
business, hut keeps a portion idle in
the bank; with this exception, how
ever, that a bank-dc|KMil brings cred
it, while the de|H>sii left in the soil is
neither earning dividends nor bring
ing credit to the farmer.
"How, then, must the farmer man
ufacture ? In the first place, he has
the natural fertility of his soil, as the
mill has its water-privilege. Next,
he must look out for the wastes of the
farm; the getting the most manure
Irom the cattle fed that a judicious
knowledge of food and animal growth
will allow; the purchase of addition
al fertilizer if necessary, and of the
quality best adapU-d to the uses for
which it is to Is* applied. Next, lie
must obtain the most work from his
men nnd machinery, and must apply
the ialior at the right time and in the
proper manner. lie must untnhinc all
his resources in the liest way to ac
complish his results, —the lcst of
seed, sufficiency of fertilizer or ma
nure, and the right quantity of la
bor."
The farmer then has foar thing* to
Iwnr in tninil : first, to keep his ma
chine, the farm, in good condition;
second, to get the most from it, hut
at the same time to supply it with
plant food, in the right form, in pro
|K>rtion to the crops removed ; third,
to take good care of the growing
crops while in the process of manu
facture; and, fourth, to sell them to
the best advantage. Looking at it in
this light, is not the farmer a manu
facturer, and his farm n wonderful
machine.
Dunghill Fowls.
CVtrrt|mtof Fr.wlpfti Farmer.
A great many farmers know little
or nothing about the more valuable
qualities and traits of the improver!
breeds of poultry. Ami this is the
reason they consider the dunghill
fowls to las good enough on the
farm. My opinion is that this is a
great mistake. No sort of live stock
is good enough for the farmer, now-a
dsys, that is not of the liest quality.
It costs no more to feed prime poul
try, per head, than it docs to keep
scrubs alive. Many farmers who ad
here to the wornout dunghill fowls
that their grandfathers bad around
the homestead, throw away more
grain every year ujion a given num
ber of these dunghill stock, than
would liberally feed the same num
ber of Cochins, I#cghorns, or Fo
lands. A flock of any kind of pure
bred fowls, evenly pin met!, is a beau
tiful sight upon any farm. Yon can
purchase a trio for a small outlay, of
any variety you may choose, and in
one year you can have a handsome
flock of thrifty poultry that will give
satisfaction and pay liberally for their
i keeping, and at the same time you
need not be ashamed to show tliem
to city or country friends when they
' call upon you.
Keeping Potatoes.
The Litchfield Independent says
, that during a recent cold spell a
gentleman "tried an ex|>eriment in
, preserving Ids cellar vegetables from
frost. lie simply placed a tub half
full of water in the cellar ami ar
ranged his apple and potato barrels
around it. ihiring one night ice
, formed in the tub to the thickness of
three-fourths of an inch, while the
■ apples and potatoes were not hurt.
The philosophical explanation of the
fact is that the water absorbs the
frost that otherwise Would attack the
vegetable." This is hardly the phil
osophical explanation of the phenom
enon, since a scientific man would
hardly s|>cnk of the "absorption of
frost." The physical fact to which the
preservation of the vegetables was
due is that when a liquid is convert
ed into a solid, as water into ice, its
"latent heat'' is set free to a eertiau
extent and becomes measurable by a
thermometer, and in the instance giv
en it went to the potatoes.
Houses doing little or nothing
should IMJ fed sparingly on grain.
One bushel of cut straw and two
quarts of meal is equivalent to good
timothy hay, and horses lying hll
will hold their own on good hay. A
week or two licforc working time
| commences increase the feed and they
will )*• more iK'nefited than when
kept filled with stimulating and fever
producing food.
WHAT all agriculture requires, is
the thinking farmer.— he who w ill ac
cept facts,and accept his own reason
ing thereon; who is never satisfied
with his present knowledge, but is
ever reselling after more; who holds
on to success, nnd learns from failure.
IT is time now to set hens for early
chickens. Where it can lie done the
Is-st place to set them is on a cellar
floor, hut the hens must lie allowed
to go out of doors for exercise and
dust bath when they come out for
these purposes,
NIXK TENTHS of nil losses of young
| stock that occur during the winter
are animals that are in low flesh at
tin- beginning of cold weather. Noth
ing affords a more perfect protection
from cold than a good supply of fat.
So rARMi.it earn hope to keep up to
the times—and lie must do this to be
successful—if he neglects to read
some good agricultural paper.
