Moreton Farm Seed a.
As an agricultural writer, perhaps,
no man in America is more widely or
favorably known than Joseph Harris,
the owner and manager of "Moreton
Farm." "Walks and Talks on the
Farm" have made hira seem a per
sonal friend of years standing to
thousands of the American Agricul
turist's renders, while "Harris on the
Pig" is the staudard authority for
intelligent swine-breeders. Later, his
"Talks on Manures" have attracted
the attention and elicited the favora
ble criticism of the entire agricul
tural press of the country, and are
doing more to lead farmers into right
thinking, and right doing in the mat
ter of manures than any other work
within our knowledge. But Mr. Har
ris is not merely a theoretical writer.
On the contrary, he is jierhaps more
practical than any other writer known
to the profession. Owning and work
ing a larger farm, to every detail of
which ho gives daily personal atten
tion, breeding upon it the finest of
improved stock, and raising for home
use and for sale the best of crops
in great variety and perfection, Mr.
Harris is nothing if not practical.
And now he comes to the front as a
seed grower and seed seller. For
many years he has grown his own
seeds, making selections with great
care and excellent judgment, and has
from time to time sold such overplus
as he could spare to those of his
friends who knew and appreciated
the excellence of his productions.
This part of his farming operations
has grown to such proportions that
he this year issues a small catalogue,
which, like everything else he does
or writes, is as original as it is prac
tical. A personal acquaintance and
correspondence with Mr. Harris, as
well as experience with seeds of his
growing, extending over a number of
years, warrant us in saying to our
readers that they can plnce implicit
reliance upon any statement he makes
either in his business correspondence
or published catalogue, and that they
can buy seeds of him in the perfect
assurance that they will be just what
they are represented to be—no more
and no leas. And this is a good deal
more than we would like to say of
some seed dealers of whom we have
heard. We append a portion of his
preface as a sample of originality and
lor the agricultural wisdom it teaches:
It is sixteen years since I commenced
to grow seeds. But this is the first year
that I have issued a catalogue. 1 fear
it will be a poor one, but 1 shall try and
comfort myself with the reflection thai
no one will be asked to pay anything
for it. 1 propose to send it free of ali
charge, prepaid by mail to any and all i
of my friends who desire it, I hope
my seeds will prove to be fresher and
better than my catalogue. I have been
an agricultural writer for twenty-nine
years. • • • I feel, therefore, that
I am not altogether unknown to the
farmers of the United States. • • •
I want my friends and correspondents
to try my seeds. And 1 should also es
teem it a particular favor if those of my
friends who receive this catalogue would
aid me in distributing it among their
neighbors and acquaintances. I pro
pose to sell good fresh seeds at reason
able prices. It may be thought strange
that in a catalogue of farm, garden and
flower seeds, I should include Cotawold
Sheep and Kssex Pigs. Rut I am a farm
er as well as a seed grower. Reed grow
ing can be profitable only on land that
is clean and rich. I have spent much
time and labor in uoderdraining and
killing weeds, and my sheep and pigs
have helped to make the land rich. I
have fed them well and they have af
forded me fair profits and rich manure.
• * # * • Seed growing requires
not only much careand patient waiting,
hut a large amount of labor per acre.
This is very costly, and can only be af
forded on the beat and richest land. In
raising ordinary farm crops, it will be
readily perceived that those crops
which require the greatest amount of
labor per acre are the crops which we
can least afford to raise on poor land.
The more labor a crop requires, the
more important it is to make the land
rioh enough and clean enough to pro
duce a large yield per acre.
I hope, therefore, to be excused for
saying a good word for my sheep and
swine. They have enabled me to make
large piles of manure and these in their
turn have enabled me to raise seeds
which I hope will prove eminently satis
factory to my customers.
I do not make any extravagant claims
for my seeds. Ido not guarantee the
needs. If I wend a farmer a few bushel*
of six-rowed barley 1 will not warrant
that there may not bo a few kernel* of
two-rowed barley in it, or even an oc
casional oat. But I will tend a sample
to any one wishing to examine it, and
will guarantee that the barley sent shall
be as good as the sample.
I guarantee my seeds to this extent.
If they are not what I represent them
to be f will refunil the money paid for them.
Iron Water Pipes Preferred.
Hon. fleorg* o<Midr In tb Tribune.
Mr. George B. Calhoun, of Litchfield
county, Conn., asks what kind of pipe
shall be used to convey water from a
spring ninety rods away ami twenty
feet above his house ; shall it be lead or
iron? Iron by all means. The use of
lead is always dangerous. In cases
where a large quantity of water is to bo
conveyod. cast-iron pipes should bo
used, but an inch pipe will be sufficient
for Sir. Calhoun's case. Wrought iron
inch pipe, having screw couplings, can
be bought for five cents, or perhaps less,
a foot. It comes in lengths of about
one rod, and is easily transported and
quickly laid in the trench. Much com
plaint has been made of small wrought
iron pipe because it fills up, and, being
thin, rusts away very rapidly. Inch
pipe is as small as should be nsed, and
will last a great length of time, if the
outside be protected from the action of
tho earth. Two-inch pipe tiln will slide
over tho sockets that connect an inch
pipe and will perfectly protect it from
tho earth, ami make an air-chamber
around it that will give much protection
against frost in cases where the pi|>e is
not buried deep enough to give perfect
security. Or the pipe inay he surround
ed with hydraulic cement; a coat an
inch thick will protect the pipe, but,
having tried both plans, I give prefer
ence to the tile. The pipe and tile will
hardly cost a dollar a rod at the place
where the inquirer lives.
A very recent experience, which we
relate below, will deter us from en
dorsing Mr. Geddes' recommenda
tion. On our own farm we have a
line spring, about eighteen feet above
and fifty rods distant from the farm
buildings, which a former owner,
many years ago, brought to the stock
yard in wooden pipe. In 1868 a por
tion of these wooden pipes gave out,
and the then owner took them all up,
relaying such as were comparatively
good at the lower or discharge end
of the line, and purchased new ones,
of the same sort, for the upper end
of the line. We came into possession
soon after, aud the line worked satis
factorily until the winter of 1875-6,
when the old pipe at the lower end
gave way entirely. It being incon
venient at that time to procure the
wooden ones, we replaced the old lot,
during the summer of 1876, with inch
wrought-iron pipe, just such as Mr.
Geddes describes, connecting it with
the new lot laid in 18G8, and con
gratulated ourselves u|>on the splen
did stream we secured in our stock
yard and upon the supposed perma
nence of the job. For the past six i
months or more the stream discharg
ed from the pipe lias been growing
"smaller by degrees, and beautifully
less," and has required great care j
daring the late severe weather to
prevent it from freezing about the
spout and stopping entirely. Final
ly, on Sunday morning of last week,
one of the men reported "no water
running at the spout." This meant
disaster to all our stock for the re
mainder of the winter, and so doffing
our Sunday coat and donning the
"regimentals" of the "six days shalt
thou labor" part of the week, we de
voted nearly half of the day to a
vain search for the cause of the trou
ble. At last, suspecting the cause,
wc went up the line to where the iron
unites with the wood pipe laid in
1868, dug down to the wood, tapped
it, connected a stand-pipe, and were
rewarded with a full one ami one
half inch stream, —the size of the
bore in the wood pipe.
Upon examination, the following
day, the iron pipe, which had been
in use but little more than two years,
and was full one inch inside diameter
when laid, waa discovered to lie com
pletely filled up with rust—absolute
ly rusted shut. In the light of an
extended experience, of which that
above related la a very small part, in
both the manufacture and use of va
rious kinds of pipe, we would say to
Mr. Calhoun use neither lead nor
iron, but if you cannot get a good,
well made and well put together wood
pipe, turn back to the semi-weekly
Tribune of March 22, 1876, and fol
low the advice there given to Mr.
Sutton, of Yatca county, N. Y., by
the aame Mr. Geddee, who now wise
ly counsels Mr. Calhoun against the
use of lead.
This subject of convoying springs
to the buildings on the farm is one
of great importance to many of Cen
tre county's farmers, and for their
benefit we quote a large portion of
tlio very excellent and practical ad
vice given by Mr. Geddcs to Mr.
Sutton:
The case of Mr. Sutton, aa he will
havo hut little head of water, admits of
something better than the inch gas pipe.
Ho can buy • • tile, inch and a
half caliber, for $lO per M—just a cent
each. Thirteen will lay a rod, and a
bushel of water-lime with good aand
will make the mortar to lay those tiles
in for that distance, and so surround
them that they will form a tight pipe.
The important thing to be remembered
is, the tiles must be wet thoroughly by
soaking in water liefore they are laid,
and thus swelled to their greatest di
mensions. The cement can be spread
along the bottom of the trench, say one
inch deep, for a few feet; the tiles
placed end to end, and the joints poin
ted and allowed to set a little, the In
side cleaned out as each joint is made,
by a scraper, which is simply a stiff wire
having a piece of sheet iron properly
shaped on one end. Having thus placed
five or six tiles, commence covering
witii the cement and preasing it firmly
around the tiles till the work is finish
ed. Do not cover this pipe, except to
shade it by board* or the like, until the
water ho* been let in and proof made
that there are no leak*. The advan
tages of such a pipe are ita small cost,
it* large and smooth caliber (a I J-inch
pipe baa 2} times the capacity to carry
water that an inch pipe has),'and final
ly its durability and perfect freedom
from any mineral matter taken from
ita own substance.
1 havo never soon a pipo 100 largo,
but I have soon many too small.
Though Mr.Sutton may not havo water
enough to fully tax an inch nn<l a half
pipo with the declivity he stales, yet he
will find that such a pipe will be much
leas liable to lie obstructed by sediment
or anything else; and if a frog should
happen to find its way in to such a pipe
he will most likely go through. In tak
ing the water from the spring it is itn
portant to draw it through a tine sieve,
that the water must rise up to pass
through, and there must he some depth
of water below the sieve to take care of
any deposit that may form in the spring.
Do not draw the water either from the
surface or bottom of the spring, thus
avoiding the introduction into the pipe
of either surface or bottom filth. This
is easily done by using a short piece of
pi|>e made of metal or wood that turns
down at the end, say one foot, and is
enlarged at the lower end to many
times the diameter of the pipe, and the
end covered with a sheet of copper
punched full of holes. A common
house funnel gives the fortn. if weVmly
cover the large end with the perforated
sheet, and make the whole thing of
sheet copjier. Such a device can !>e in
serted into the lower side of a common
pump log, ftoin which it can tie readily
withdrawn, cleaned and repaired, and
will last many years.
Coal Oil vs. Hen Lice.
We give the following statement
of a writer in the Tribune the en
dorsement of our own experience.
Our own plan is to use smooth, half
round poles, made from pine wood,
and at least three inches wide, and
tack a strip of woolen rag on the top.
This is satuftitcd once a month, or
oftener, with coal oil, and we arc
never troubled with lice :
"My hens, hennery end nests of set
ting hen* became no i>rtsTtn WITH Lies
a* to drive the h<*n from the nests, and
fresh-laid eggs would have lice crawling
on them. That wren in 1873, end I here
not seen one of the parasites on my
premise* since. I first tore out the
round pole* with bark on used for roosU,
and put in basswood strips 11x2 inches
rounding the corners a little and satu
rated them with refined petroleum
(common lamp oil), burned up all my
nestling boxes and straw, sprinkled the
oil all over the floor and sides of the
hennery, got new nesting boxe* and put
about one inch of sawdust in the bottom
and sprinkler! some oil on it, then put
in clean straw on top; this I continue
to do every Spring before nesting-time.
1 also saturates! the perch three or four
lime* a year with oil, and I have not
seen a hen louse tine*. This six years'
test baa satisfied me of the certainly
and safety of this plan as well as of its
cheapness and ease ol application.
Pear Blight
COLI.KGK, Feb. 24ib, 1870.
Mkm a*. Emma*:—Having noticed that
[•art of your paper was devoted to agricul
tural topics, I thought it would be a good
place to gain information concerning some
points relating to the above, either through
you or your subscribers. Heveral years ago
1 had planted quite a number of One pear
trees which grew exceedingly well for a
number of years, but during the last two
summers they have suffered greatly from
some disease. Its first approach is noticed
in the outer leave* of the branches, which
become blacked and wither, at If there was
not sufficient moisture; but rapidly spreads
over all the tree, giving it the appearance
of having boon burnt by fire. The stem
becomes cracked and ha* a brown feathery
substance on the bark. Tree after tree
was effected in the same way, and notwith
standing all I did, the trees could not be
saved. Having tried everything that ha*
been recommended,with no success, I resort
to your paper as a last hope. I bellve the
cause Is not folly known, but should say,
foom careful attention to the case under
my notice, that it was caused by the heat
of the sun's rays immediately after a rain.
Your* Ac., H.
Our correspondent's tree* are evi
dently suffering from the dread
"blight," and we regret that we can
offer him but little encouragement to
hope for a cure. The authorities,
prominent among whom are Qulnn
and Barry, agree that the beet means
for prevention la to ao treat the trees aa
to secure a vigorous growth early in
the season, though this is by no means
sure. It seems to be universally con
ceded, however, by our most experi
enced penologists that after the dis
ease has made its appearance there is
but little encouragement to attempt
a cure, and that the best that remains
to be done is to prevent its spread
by the prompt and energetic use of
the saw and pruning-knife. Quinn
says, "Our plan has been the instant
any tree showed signs of being af
fected, to saw or cut ofr the branches
or main stem, six or eight inches be
low where the disease appeared."
Harry says, "When the pear tree is
attacked, it is difficult to save it, the
disease spreads so rapidly. The only
remedy is, to cut away instantly the
blighted parts, into the sound wood*
where there is not the slightest trace
of the disease, and burn them up im
mediately."
Egg-shells for Laying Hens.
Frutit lb* Farm Journal
Many (tcoplu who keep fowls know
that a laying hen requires lime in
some form to furnish the shells for
her eggs. Ground bone,oyster shells,
mortar, rubbish, etc., are recommend
ed and used by many for this pur
pose. These articles are all good,
hut the broken or ground oyster shell
is the best, as well as the cheajiest of
them. Some recommend and use the
shells of eggs that have been used in
cookery as a part of the bill of fare
for the hens; others condemn the
practice of feeding the shells. The
first objection is that it will teach the
hens to eat eggs, some claiming that
their hens acquire the vice of egg
eating through the practice of throw
ing them the shells from the kitchen.
This vice might be learned by the
hens if the refuse shells are thrown
to them whole. Wln-n they are given
to the hens they should be broken
into small pieces and mixed with oth
er feed, or put into a IKJX with other
similar lime-giving material.
Another objection is that the shell
is a product of secretion, and having
once passed through the system of
the hen is a waste product and can
not be utilized again. "After a thing
has once gone through the system,"
says a Massachusetts man, "it is use
less." The contents of the shell, as
well as the shell itself, have gone
through the system of the hen, and
arc they therefore use-less* Milk is
a secretion from the cow; is It use
less? Hardly. Hones and oyster
shells are formed by processes of
secretion, but they are not condemn
ed as useless liccatisc they have once
(•assed through living organisms.—
No more should egg-shells be con
demned.
Therefore, instead of burning them,
as is the practice of many, or throw
ing them into the awill tub, where
they are a nuisance, break them into
small pieces and mix them with the
soft food of the hens, or throw them
into the box containing other lime
producing food, an<l thus utilize in
stead of wasting them.
Flesh as a Fertiliser.
Tram onrtopiMnm at lh X. V. Trlkttn"
I was recently shown a grape vine
that promisea to cover one side of
the Scottsville, N. Y., flour mill. The
proprietor stated that the original
owner drove to Rochester forty years
ago with the hams of 20 sheep, but
fancying the price offered too low,
brought them home and hung them
in the attic. A few years since the
present owner found ye olden mutton
still unmarketed and ordered it bur
ied at a proper distance from the vine
that now displays such remarkable
vigor. Diseased animals are often
used aa a fertilizer with satisfactory
results, being quartered and buried
near fruit trees and vinea. This dis
tance at which the roota of treca will
receive such nourishment is with
dwarfs from 10 to 15 feet, with stand
ard spplcs 50 to 100 feet or some
times farther depending on age and
vigor.
How Hurserymm Make Fanning Fsj.
From fa* aIM*T at RnrM ASMro.
Messrs. Smith A Powell, of Syra
cuse Nursenr, have given us the mea
surement of a crop of beets raised
in 1876 on one acre of land. The
variety is know aa the yellow ovoid.
The ground was thoroughly sub-aoil
ed and well taken care off. The crop
weighed 118,400 Iba., or about fifty
nine tons, or at sixty lbs. per bushel
would amount to 1,97 bushel a. Suc
cessful nurserymen who know that a
deep, well prepared soil is the best
for trees, often furnish some of the
finest specimens of profitable farm
ing, in the heavy crops which they
obtain from vacant portions of their
land, which should encourage farm
ers to give up superficial and adopt
thorough culture.
An owl nesting in a gentleman's
garden destroyed during fourteen
dgys more than W0 field mice, by
actual count, "besides a large num
ber of dung-beetles—the wing-oases
of which were found scattered on the
ground.
