Every farmer iin. his annual erpenenee
discovert something of value. Write it and
semi it to the "Agricultural Etlitor of the
DKMOCRAT, Ifellefonte, J'enn'a," that other
farmers may have the benefit of it. Let
communicotums he timely, and he sure that
they are brief and well pointed.
Notes of oar Contemporaries.
The Poultry World for March is
fresh and vigorous, and contains
much matter of the greatest value to
every ordinary farmer.
For terseness and crispneas the
Farm Journal exceeds all the agri
cultural periodicals. Always widc
-0 awake, sometimes erratic, and, gener
ally speaking, a very good thing to
have in the house and read.
We have long been admirers of the
vl mar lean Agriculturist, and our ad
miration grows as it advances in
years. Its epitome of the report of
the Massachusetts Agricultural Col
lege Experiment Station is well worth
the careful perusal of every thinking ;
farmer.
Good words for the Scientific Farm
er, are "like apples of gold on trees
of silver" because they are always
"fitly spoken." The number for
March is before us, and, as usual, is
filled with agricultural wisdom and
knowledge, which are only synonims
for agricultural science. We gladly
avail ourselves of the privilege of
transferring some of its good things
to our columns.
To every farmer the World is worth
many times its cost as an agrieultur
al paper, to say nothing of its many
other valuable features. Its agricul
tural department is under the special
management of an experienced editor
with a large corpa of special contrib
utors. It is thoroughly practical,
•wide-awake and progressive, and
keeps its farmer readers promptly
advised of all improvements in which
they arc interested. No farmer can
alford to be without it.
One of the prominent features of
the Rural Keto Yorker, peculiar to it
alone, so far as our observation ex
tends, is the devoting an entire
number, now and then, to some spec
ial seasonable subject. Last week's
issue, for instance, was devoted en
tirely to com, and contains, besides
a column of "Brevities," another of
"Receipts for Cooking Com," nnd
five illustrations, all pertaining to the
subject, no less than twenty-one sep
arate and distinct articles all of which
were prepared expressly for this
"Corn number," by such writers as
Dr. Sturtevant, Professor Roberts,
Conrad Wilson, L. S. Hardin, Col.
Curtis, Henry Stewart, and others
equally capable. We shall give our
readers an idea of their excellence by
quoting paragraphs from some of
them between this and corn-planting.
Mules vs. Horses.
We observe that some of our con
temporaries are passing around the
periodical paragraph about the superi
ority of mules for farm purposes.
For their edification we make room
for the following:
He wu showing the man the new
bay mule that be was working in a team
with the old gray. "You warrant him
sound, and perfectly kind and gentle?"
the man aaid. "Perfectly," aaid farm
er John ; "my wife and children drive
him and be is a perfect pet. Comes in
to the house like a dog." "Kasy to
shoe T" asked the man. "Well, I guess
so; fact is I never bad him shod ; don't
believe in it; he works better without
it," said farmer John. "How does he
act when you put the crupper on?"
asked the man. Fanner John hesita
ted. "Well, pretty good I guess," he
said; "fact is, 1 nevsr put it on." "How
docs it get on T" asked the man; "who
doea put it on ?" "Well, I kind of don't
know," said farmer John; "fact is he
bad the harnees on whan I got him, an'
it fit him so well kn' he seemed to be
so kind o' contented in it, like, that I
sort of never took it off'n him," "And
how long hsve you had him ?" asked
the man. Fanner John chewed a
wheat straw very meditatively. "Well,"
he said, "not to exceed more'n two
year, mebhe." And the man backed*a
little further away, and aaid he would
"sort of look round a little further be
fore he bought, like." And farmer
John never saw him Main, not even to
this day.
Ira farm is badly drained, the best
thing the farmer can do ia to adopt a
policy of retrenchment.
The Stock Breeder's Table.
We publish below a table which originally appeared in the Canada Farmer. It shows at
a glance when forty weeks will expire from any given day in the year, and will at once com
mend itself to every farmer who raises cattle. In a week or two we shall pre-ent a similar
one for swine-breeders:

Spring Harrowing of Winter Grain.
Mr. Wm. M. Singeriy of the Phila
delphia Record gives the following
advice, baaed, as will be Been, on
noteworthy experience:
"Just as soon as the ground is dry
enough to get on in the Spring, run the
harrow arrow the wheat and the rye
fields. l>on't 1)0 afraid of harrowing
too much or pulling tho grain out.
Run the harrow along the drill rows,
and then back again; or, if you run
first down and then across, so much the
better. Tho tillering of both wheat and
rye will more than make up for any
plants destroyed. After harrowing, sow
the grass seed, clover and timothy, of
the usual quantities; alter which go
over your fields with the roller, and you
will not only be surprised at your grain
crop, but will lie even more at your
Fall clover in the stubble. If the Re
cord could only induce every farmer in
Pennsylvania to harrow his wheat this
Spring, it would by that one item of
knowledge increase the grain product
of this State to the extent of hundreds
of thousands of dollars this year and
forever after. Our own experience in
harrowing the past two years has been
a yield of seventy-five bushels of wheat
on two and a half acres in 1877, and
three hundred bushel's on eight acres
in 1878. This plan of culture will in
crease the yield all the way from three
to ten bushels to the acres.''
To the same effect is tlic subjoined
paragraph from the Country Gentle- {
man: i
"Harrow wheat in Spring a* soon M
the ground is dry enough to l*wr the
team. This breaks tho crust, destroys
small weeds and gives the plants a start.
11 may be repeated every week to two,
until the wheat is a foot high or more,
if the smoothing harrow is used. Timo
thy sown with the wheat last Autumn,
if several inches high, will not be in
jured, but rather benefited by tho pass
ing of this implement. It is only small
plants and weeds which are destroyed.
Clover seed sown at the last harrowing
and slightly covered will usually germi
nate quite as well as when sown earlier
without harrowing."
The Scientific Farmer on Oorn Culture.
From the experience at Waushs
kurn Farm and from a rather close
observation of other fields, and from
testimony gained from others, we
feel disposed to claim that if an eco
nomical corn-crop is desired to be
raised, the manure or fertilizer must
be placed near the surface of a shallow
ploughed field, the undersoil having
been brought into a condition per
meable to roots by the ploughing* for
firerious crops. The com is a sbal
ow-feeding plant we feel convinced,
although it is also a deep rooter;
but, being a lover of heat, the root
lets near the surface of the ground,
where the temperature is highest,
seem to set as feeders. Now, in shal
low ploughing, the richest portions
of the field and the decaying turf or
roots are left near the surface; and
here, where the warmth is, do the
corn-roots extend, divide into root
lets, and feed with the most vigor.
Early Potatoes.
8. Miller in the Journal 0/ Arieul
ture, says that all who desire to have
potatoes as early as possible will
gain considerable time by placing
them in a warm place about the mid
dle of February. They will begin
to sprout and be well started by plant
ing time. When planting, however,
care must be taken to not rub off or
bruise the sprouts.
The potato can be cut into pieces
so as to allow two sprouts to each
piece, which will yield as well as if
a whole potato were planted in a hill.
We would advise all those who have
potatoes on hand now to take good
care of them, for there may he a
scarcity in the spring, as Jack Frost
has entered many a cellar and ruined
all that people had.
liSMKif your work and expenses,
and increase the value of your crop.
Concentration.
| From the Ktw York Tribune.
A day or two of transportation by
rail in some direction will always find
a market for concentrated products,
which coat for freight a small |>er
ccntage of their value. Corn is a
drug at one point at 20 cts. a bushel,
at another quick at $1 —the common
carrier and the greedy middlemen
getting the SO eta. difference. How
much com whiskey is sold at a pre
sumably advanced age—really it may
lie prematurely old while still young
—at $1 or more |>cr gallon! How
suggestive is this abyss of time and
value that lies between the ten-cent
corn and four-dollar whiskey—one
dime of product and thirty-nine com
pounded of middleman, freight and
interest! It is no wonder that beef,
|>ork and wool are preferred for mar
keting. Were the cost of corn in
these forms the same as in the bag
for shipment, the advantage of feed
ing would be immense. The hand
ling, shelling, some hours of the best
part of a day of man and team in
getting to market take a considerable
slice of the value. Nor is that all.
The unconsidered tnnnurial value of
fed com is often a larger item of
profit than can be figured from its
sale as grain. It may 1* unregarded
by the multitude of settlers ujon
cheap lands, but it will not be neces
sary to wait to inquire the result to
their children. In a very few year*
the difference between farmers who
starve and those who feed their lands
will lie obvious enough in every
ncighliorhood.
Kven Western farmers are liegin
ning to understand the im|>ortance
of the concentration of raw products
to save expense of freight. Much of
such transportation is unncccnsary.
11 is neither profitable to farmers nor
to railroads. In the future there will
be proportionally less of this heavy
and profitless hauling. Gross pro
ducts will be mostly used at home.
Not that we would force Nature, and
attempt to grow our own dates and
pineapples in every Stale of the Un
ion ; but where corn and wheat anil
|Kitatoes can be grown as well as
anything else, we would never pay the
value of two bushels for moving one.
This rule will apply to Maine as well
as to Texas and Illinois. It is waste
of words to talk of indc|>endcncc and
reciprocity in this connection. Two
farmers shut up in a room with two
jack-knives can Just as quickly get
rich by swapping as by paying
freights upon the produce of each
other which both can grow equally
well. The cost of freight in every
such case is a positive loss, adding
not a cent to the production of the
country, and wasting labor that could
be put to some profitable use. Car
rying produce easily grown in one
locality, to another in which it can
scarcely be produced at all, is one
form of production, and in this sense
the carrier and middleman are vir
tually producers. This principle does
not apply to the Southerner who fol
lows his mule in scraping out grass
all the Spring, and feeds the same
mule in Winter with dried grass
brought from the West Fraternity
and reciprocity are too dear when
purchased at the cost of so ridiculous
a violation of political economy.
Grafting Wax.
NORI BKTTBR THAW THIS.
To four pounds resin and one of
beeswax add one pint of linseed oil;
put in an iron pot, best slowly and
mix well. Pour out into cold water
and pull by hand until it assumes a
light color, work into sticks and put
into a cool place till wanted. In using,
oil the hands, work the wax until soft
and press it tightly around the graft
and over the cracks. If the day be
warm it is sometimes better to oc
casionally moisten the hands with
oold water.
A Talk on Water-Farming. *
Mil. ItollEHT 11. BOOHEVEI.T (lIVKH A
HINT TO TfI.I.KKH OF THE HOIL.
From ll#r Nfw York World.
TJie Farm era' Club, which meet*
in room *24, Coojx.-r institute, hail an
unuHual treat Tuewlay—a Hpeech
from the venerable I*etr Cooper and
u paper by Robert B. Uooxevelt, one
of the State Flab Commissioner*, on
"Land Farming and Water Farming."
Mr. Koonevelt, who believee that birds
are given to men to about and flub to
catch, provided both can be turned to
nccount an human fowl, and that
there ia no more harm in carrying a
gun or fishing-rotl than in wielding an
axe or a spade, encouraged the idea
of wisely developing the Hporting
privileges of persons convenient to
our cities and removing the idea that
any revenue from it is degrading.
"Trout," he said, "are sold in New
York market during their season as
high as $1 a pound, a price which is
brought by scarcely any other kind
of animal food, and if their supply
can Is: increuscd a benefit w ill l>e con
ferred upon the community and a le
gitimate profit returned to those who
produce them, while in many places
inland and not accessible to the sea,
the great store-house of fish food,
there is difficulty in obtaining even
the commonest sort of list). If the
farmer can add to his usual crops a
crop of fish he will be lieuefiting his
neighbors as well as himself. To do
so may seem to many at first glance
a difficult operation, but not half as
much so as making the broad acres
'laugh with a harvest' seems to the
uncx|>crienced. Fish-farming has its
rules and limits, precisely as land
fanning has, but is simpler and far
more productive. Froma single ma
ture fish millions of young may Is:
produced. A sturgeon contains
nearly ten million* of eggs, cod ami
herring millions, shad hundreds of
thousands, and even trout and bass
several thousands. With good man
agement these can ail lie hatched,
and in some cases in a very few days.
Once hatched, and fish provide for
themselves; they need no food or
care, they convert worthless insects
or waste water-grasses into human
food. The trout or bass from a farm
er's |>ond costs hirn nothing but the
trouble of catching and compares in
excellence on bis table with his best
poultry, to say nothing of |iork that
has been fxj twice a day for months.
The only loss of time or labor is in
the catching, and to reduce that it
is only necessary to make the Qsh
abundant,"
Mr. Itoscvclt did not advise farm
| ers, except in rare cases where they
have unusual facilities, to undertake
the artificial hatching of fish, but he
urged them to utilize such ponds and
i streams as they can without labor or
expense. This might not yield the
greatest |x>ssible profit, but* it would
! bring fair returns, and in no wise in
terferes with other occupations. "It
would bo irksome," he said, "for the
. farmer to watch over the incubation
of trout eggs, which require months
to produce the young, nor is it neces
sary, so long as the States take this
labor u|on themselves and furnish,
to all who need them, trout fry al
ready hatched. If gentlemen own
ing suitable streams or (tonds desire
to stock them with trout they have
only to apply at the State hatching,
house and, where a numlicr combine,
the rxjs nse to each is trifling. After
the trout fry arc placed in their prop
er element—and it must not bo for
gotten that only cold spring-water is
suited to them—they will take care
of themselves. In the course of a
year or two they will have attained
an edible sisc and can then be caught.
Nothing is simpler than this, and yet
how many streams and fine fresh
brooks there are that ]icrha|m once
abounded with trout which are whol
ly depopulated. There is, however,
another kind of fish known as the
fresh water lass, which ia possibly
even more valuable than the trout for
the farmer's use. It is not so exact
ing in the character of the water in
which it will live, and will grow more
rapidly; more important still, It
needs no culture or care whatever,
or any time. The parenta, which
are fairly prolific, lay their eggs in a
sort of nest and watch over them till
they arc hatched. Bass have never
failed to increase rapidly where they
have been introduced, and they are
suited to si moat any pond. These
are especially the fish to lie used
where water fanning ia to be com
bined with land farming in the sim
plest and easiest way. Nothing ia re
quired but to place a few pair of ma
ture fish, which can be easily trans
ported in any water they are expect
ed to populate, and will attend to the
rest themselves. They can bold their
own with any other species, even
against the dreaded pickerel; they
increase rapidly and grow quickly,
and aa human food they are excel
lent."
If air. Roosevelt explained in answer
to Itiany questions, that there are two
kinds of bass suited to different
waters, but so alike in appearance as
frequently to be confounded. What is
commonly known as "big mouthed"
bass thrives in muddy or stagnant
water, while the little-mouthed fish
require clean water running over peb
bly bottoms. The latter are num
bered among the sporting fish, as are
the trout, which until the past three
years were not protected by the New
York State Commission.
