Profits of Beet Culture.
The following letter from Alex.
Johnston, of Maine, was addressed
to Prof. Ucnncrt and by him embod
ied in his lecture before the New
York State Agricultural Society.
Mr. Johnston is somewhat enthusias
tic, but we believe his enthusiasm to
be in a good direction, and if his
"great expectations" are but one
half realized the farmers of the
country will have reason to be thank
ful:
"My plan work in much behind, but
within a fortnight 1 will try to take otl'
mv memoranda on the sugar beet cul
ture. The experience of my neighbor*
show* widely different results. All the
way frotn nothing to 11, 24, 30 to 40
ton* to the acre. The last, by Mr. Kich.
Ji. Bailey. lam getting the exact data
of and man to investigate very closely
and thoroughly. lie spare* no labor
nor manure, ha* excellent noil and in
very prompt in sowing, weeding, thin
ning and cultivating between the row*,
lie feeds out hia beets to his cattle, '
hogs and even hens. He thinks he 1
can't 9etl at $1 a ton ; might sell lor fj, ,
delivered at railroad station, three miles
distant from his farm. He growls over
the transportation cost only, and con
siders the crop worth more for his cat- i
tie. They all do. (I sold my own for
30 cent* per bushel of 60 pounds.)
They say if all the sugar, 12 per cent.,
and all the water, 80 per ecnt., is ex
tracted from the root, the 8 per cent.,
left can be of no great value, and so
they very much prefer the entire root,
without costly truckage, for their stock,
At the same tin* they shall admit that
there is more reliable cash value out of
the beets at 20 tons to the acre than
from potatoee, corn, grain, hay, or any
other crop they can raise, and that if
good friable land ia chosen, well work
ed, fined and manured, promptly thin
ned and kept positively clean of weeds,
the very day they can be detected, in
the setting sunlight, greening the
ground, there is no trouble or uncer
tainty about a good heavy crop every
time, worth from $lOO to $125 per acre.
So they think, and so I know,'after
some years drill in raising beets. I was
all alone in this town, in beet raising
for some years, beating everybody of
course. But 1 beat it into them and
now they begin to beat me—and 1 am
heartily glad of it, and so are the cattle.
Mr. Bailey says that the water in the
beets at a reasonable temperature is
better than the cold water in the
brook or spring in winter, and the shiv- i
ers that go with it. and that cattle don't
drink near as much when fed regularly
with roots as they do on dry hay antl
other such fodder. The crops of corn, !
hay, potatoes, and all the cereals are
subject to great loss through many con
tingencies. Heavy winds, pouring
rains, blight, rut, mildew, rot, bug. ;
worm, and beetle, league together some- '
times, and down goes the whole in
quantity, quality and value, faster than
one can breathe, far below the cost of;
production. The humble beet, firmly
planted in the ground, laughs at all the
wars of the elements, the bugs, beetle*,
weevils, and the thousand unnamed
skipjacks, each requiring some sepa
rate sort of 'pothecary stuff to circum
yent, and goes steadily on renewing its
broken foliage, and quietly gathering
up the sweets for future reliable useful
ness. It cannot be long ere farmers
will realize these facts, and plant one
acre at least with a crop, which ordina
ry brains and prompt labor will always
conduct to a satisfactory issue. It is a
crop which utilizes thoroughly the
handy fingers and perfect eye* of chil
dren, who can do great thing* in a beet
bed for a small reward. This is the
place for all, old or young, on the farm,
who can do no'hard work on most crop*,
but can very ably take care of this. It
is a crop that yields more absolute
money to the household than any o;her
I know of—per acre—no outlay but the
seed, perhaps two dollars. Two dollars
out in the spring, one hundred back in
the fall. Please show us the crop which
yields so large a return for the land,
manure and labor on so small a cash
outlay. There must be 30,000 farms in
the State of Maine. Almost every one
can raise the sugar beet, .Suppose 20,-
000 of them raise each one acre of beets
—say 20 tons. They would grow then
400,000 tons, yielding $2,000,000 to the
t farmers. This crop would make at least
$OOO tons of sugar, or $80,000,000
unds, worth $6,400,000. They can do
beyond all possible doubt, and if
ey do not within the next five years,
then are their owners blind beyond re
demption. There is no experiment
about it; the raising of the beets and
the making of the sugar are well estab
lished facta. I hope to live long enough
to see an end to imported sugars In
Maine, and the hard earned money of
the Maine farmer stop at home where it
belongs.
Leaks in tbe Stable Floor.
fMn Uw PblWd-lpiit* Record.
The liquid yielding* of animals are
worth more—good authorities say
one-sixth more—pound for pouna,
than the solid excrements, and are
saved with greater care by the best
European farmers and gardeners.—
All the leaks in tlie stable are not in
the roof; those often in the floor are
quite as objectionable, and are the
cause of a great deal of waste.

Whole Orain or Meal.
An investigating correspondent of
the N. Y. Tribune wants to know why
cattle cannot digest whole grain as
well as finely ground meal. In its
answer the Tribune gives good coun
sel, and we quote it entire:
"The reason why cattle do not digest
grain a* well a* meal is because they do
not grind it o well i* tho miller does.
It is the habit of all ruminant* to eat
their food rapidly and with little grind
ing, and at their leisure to remasticate
it. Cattle only raiso for rechewing the
coarse food which goo* into the rumen,
or, as it is commonly called, the paunch.
Atter food get# into the last two divis
ions it never goes back again to tlis
mouth. When cattle eat such food as
oats, barley, corn and the like, they
hurry it down without much chewing,
and food of this character often fails of
being all deposited in the ruiuen, and
! o much of it a* fails into the last divis
: ions without being masticated, is only
■ imperfectly or not at all digested. It
will be of no avail to feed with coarse
food before feeding with groin whole.
The fuller the paunch is. the less likely
will the grain be to so into it. The bet
ter way ia to have the grain ground very
fine and mixed with wet fodder, either
| long or cut, when tho meal will adhere
! to the wet food, and be carried into the
rumen, and thus get tho benefit of re
inastification and the action of all the
divisions of the cow's complex stomach.
Soiling—A Coming Necessity.
From comipniklsne# $. Y. Trllron#,
A new departure in the business of
farming in otir country, espeeially in
the older portion* of it, may be ex
pected sooner or later, as like causes
produce like effects. When land was
cheap and labor dear, labor was econ
omized and land set less store by;
now the millions of our native popu-'
lation, and the augmenting crowds
that arc gathering from beyond the
sea, admonish us to reverse this jwili
cy ami use as ranch labor as possible
in making the land as productive as
it is susceptible of living made. My
theme is aoiling; or, in other words,
cutting and putting their feed before
cattle, sheep, etc. This implies a
revolution; hut the more we consider
it in theory or practice the more it
commends itself as a true principle.
In its favor we may claim the saving
of fence—which amounts to the heav- \
iest tax the farmer has to pay—an
increased belt of land to till ; the i
prevention of noxious weeds ami
briers along fences; and insurance of
cutting down or ploughing under all
such nuisances before their seed ma
turity; making a very large increase j
of manureal material for litter and j
absorbing droppings from stock; and |
most of all perhaps, the prevention !
of loss by cattle tramping and foul
ing what they might cat. Wc arc
entirely safe in assuming that by the '
Boiling system double the quantity of
stock can be kept, and consequently
a great increase of manure made to
be applied to the hungry soil. Many
reasons might be added to the aliove,
but the object is to call attention to
this vital qnestion and induce farm
ers to think it out for themselves.
All objections urged against its ad op-1
tion are trifling compared to advan
tages ; the principal one being addi
tional labor, which is small when fair
ly considered—sn additional habd,
perhaps, say eight months of the year
for a 150 acre farm.
HKNS should not be allowed to dis
turb tbe sitters by laying in their
nests. Broken eggs and a bad hatch
will result. If the sitting hen can
not be isolated in any way, cover her
with an empty coop, basket or box,
being careful to have her come off
every day for feed, water, exercise
and dust bath.
NOTITINO will take the various so
cial distempers which tbe city and
artificial life breed, out of a man like
farming, like direct and loving con
tact with the soil.

Agriculture tbe Corner-Btone of National
Prosperity.
The world'# history War# a strong
testimony in favor of the position
that |iernianent national prosperity is
impossible except where agriculture
is the chief form of national industry.
The stability of the French nation, as
a nation, during a hundred years of
revolutions fomented in the cities, is
due to the fnct that the great body of
the people are agriculturists, living
on and .<|T of their several small
estates. '1 he decadence of England's
glory, both financial and social, if in
deed that decadence is in the near
future, as many wise men predict
tfiat it is, is due to the fact that in
stead of Wing, as for so mnnr gen
erations it was, a land of home-liver#
and hrrad-produccrs, it has become a
nation of traders and arlizans,crowd
ed into towns and cities, where both
the individual and the family are
swallowed up in the swirling flood of
operatives, with ita sa|>erincumWnt
tody ol capitalist* ami operators.
The manifest tendency of our people
in the same direction, especially in
the older States, is among the evil
prognostics of the times, and the
checking of that tendency is among
the incidental good things that may
W hoped for from the present expe
riences. The first and greatest want
of this country ia a large relative in
crease of ita rural imputation—per
sons and families living upon their
farms, and working them chiefly with
their own hands, and deriving their
chief sustenance from their own fields.
Bcaies and Measures- lot Guesses.
from Uw PnrlM Fanm.
There is too much guess-work in
farming and too little weighing and
measuring. The "coming farmer"
will be an experimenter, a man of
interrogation points, and fally sup
plied with all the requisite aids to
enable him to obtain accurate an
swers. He will be supplied with
stock scales, and will weigh all his
hogs, cattle, hay and grain, will keep
accurate accounts with his fields, will
have his experimental plats, and will
be able to tell the value of the differ
ent kinds of feed for meat, milk or
labor, what it ooets him to grow a
bushel of corn, oats or wheat, what
plant food his soil requires, and what
profit there is in the various branches
of his business. When every farmer
becomes an intelligent experimenter,
agriculture will make most rapid ad
vancement.
How to Grow a Good Crop of Corn.
II)r a Waatarn Farto.r in Kuril Raw Yorkar.
An early start is the great point.
One car may be matured on a atalk
with n late at-art, but to mature the
secondary ear# and give them their
full growth, la impomiible unless the
crop makes a start from the first and
keep* it up. If we use only a small
quantity of manure in the hill to
start the plant and the roots have
then to grow several inches, or feet,
awuy into the soil for food, time is
lost and the crop is sacrificed. No after
start can make up for this lost time.
An excellent fertilizer to start the
growth is a good hundful of mixed
poultry manure, wood ashes and
plaster. This old-fushioncd fertilizer
has in it all that the modem formu
las provide—nitrogen, phosphoric
acid, potnsh and lime; and the use
ful effect ujion the soil in a chemical
way, of these materials, as well. Hut
there must be something else. If
stimulating fertilizers are used in the
hill or drill, manure must be provided
outside and near at hand to furnish
food as soon as the former have been
exhausted. So that there should be
either a liountiful provision of ma
nure in the hill or drill and a good
dressing of soluble fertilizer in the
soil outside of those, or rice vena.
Hither will answer the purpose re
quired.
The next point is cultivation. This
should be immediately after the seed
is sown or at least before a weed is to
be seen. Hy running the cultivator
in the rows very soon after planting,
the soil is loosened, the young
sprouting weeds nrc killed outright
before they have done nny harm, ami
the manure and soil are more closely
intermingled. Whatever may lie the
effect otherwise of cultivation of the
soil, we know that it helps the crop.
The best crops are rniscd by the use
of the plow, occasionally, in the rows.
It may lie the root pruning as is
claimed by Ir. Bturtcvant; it may
be the mellowing and aerating of the
soil; it may lie that the soil is kept
moist aliout the roots by covering
them more deeply; or it may be all
of these ; but it is certainly true that
the big cro{is that have lieen grown
have been cultivated with the plow
more or less. Hunkering may be dis
fiensed with. Indeed with some va
, rieties of corn, this habit of suckering
adds to the yield, as the early suek
| ers often bear ears. The stripping of
the suckers stimulates the growth of
stalk, and that is to be avoided
when we arc endeavoring to produce
grain. Nothing remains to lie done
after this. When the attempt is made
to grow a crop of unusual yield, a
dressing of 150 lbs. per acre of dis
solved l>onc or Peruvian gunno of
low grade in ammonia, may be culti
vated in at the lost working. This
will help the formation of ears, and
as it will cost from s'i to $4.50 per
acre, 6 to 10 bushels of corn per acre
extra will pay for it. The filling out
of all the inqierfcct cars will far more
than make up this quantity, and
every corn grower knows how many
imperfect ears there are in the best
crop grown. From recent successes
in growing large crops of corn, it is
difficulty to say what the full possi
bilities of this crop may be; 100
bushels per acre arc now frequently
grown and it is thought possible that
this yield may lie greatly surpassed.
The truth ie we are aliout now liegin
uing to learn how to grow corn.
One Thing at a Time.
frHB \h fhtm Jnn>nl.
Farming is a business ns much as
any other calling. To be followed
succeasfully it requires thought, ener
gy and the farmer's undivided atten
tion. The margin of profits just now
is small and cofn|>etition ia close and
sharp. The way to make It pay is
not to run ofT on to side issues, and
so neglect the business in hand, but
by higher cultivation, improved meth
ods of tillage, more economical man
agement, and greater industry to
seek to swell the profita.
The farmer who ia poor-master,
overseer of roads, agent for agricul
tural implements, storekeeper and
bank director, must be a smart man
if he ia also a successful farmer.
This promiscuous mixing of trades
will do very well for gentlemen farm
ers who are not dependent for their
bread and butter on farm profita.
Hut for such aa are so dependent it ia
a lictter policy to do one tiling at a
time and to do that thing well and
with all one's mind and might.
Feed for Young Chickens,
from Hi* Farm Journal
Stale bread moistened with sweet
milk, but not wetted, is a very good
feed for the first few dsys. When
the chicks are a week old they may
be fed on crushed wheat, or oats, or
corn scalded with water or milk
milk ia best. As soon as they are
able to swallow grains of wheat or
cracked corn they should have aa
much of it aa they will eat, ma late in
the evening aa they can be Induced to
eat. Give only a little at a time, but
£ve it often. Never allow surplus
id to lie around and get tour. Give
fresh water three or four times a day.
Loan not a moment in planting
peas, potatoes, beets, radishes, par
snips and cabbages, for airly family
use, after the ground gets dry
enough. Cold snaps that are to come
won't hurt them much.
