Evrry farmer in Ait annual experience
discovers something of mine. Write it and
triii/ it to the "Agricultural Editor of the
DKUOI'KAT, licllefonte, I'rnn'n," that other
farmert may hare the benefit of it. Let
communication be timely, and be sure that
they are brief and well pointed.
THE importance of good, fronli,
pure seed for nil our firm and garden
crops is generally admitted, and farm
ers, as a rule, take pains to secure the
best. The business of growing and
selling seeds, mainly for the garden
and "truck-patch," has, of late years,
assumed great propoitions; and as
the profits are large, unscrupulous
jiersons have been attracted to the
trade, who, by their more than doubt
ful practices, render the purchasing
of seeds from them a somewhat risky
venture. We are glad to believe,
however, that this does not apply to
the trade in general, and we know
that there are among the seedsmen
many of entire reliability. Promi
nent among these stands the old
house of 11. K. Bliss k Sons, ill Bar
clay-st., New York. For ten years
past we have regularly purchased our
supply of seeds of them, and in the
many dozens of packages which we
have in that time received from them
wc have not had a solitary disnp !
pointment. Their seeds have always, I
with us, proven true to name, pure (
and fresh, and, witfi careful planting,
never fail to germinate. We know
of no seeds which we can recommend '
with more confidence than those sold
by B. K. Bliss k Sons. In addi
tion to their annual catalogue, which
is issued without charge to all cus- '<
toniers, or U> any one who will apply
by postal card, they publish and sell
fof thirty-five cents, an annual called 1
the Amateur's Guide, of over 200
pages, wiuch contains as much in
formation as any one dollar book on
gardening wc ever saw.
How to Make a Nest Properly.
Nothing is more provoking tlinn
fo go to the trouble and expense of
sending a distance for a sitting of
eggs of some improved and desirable
breed of fowls, and after patient
waiting for three weeks have a large
porportiou of them fail to "hatch."
No doubt carelessly and improperly
inade nests are often the cause of
poor results. We are indebted for
the following good advice on the
subject to the handsome circular of i
Mr. Geo. 0. Brown, proprietor of the
Montvuc poultry yards, Brookland
villc, Md.:
Is essential to success in setting eggs,
ami improperly made nests are often
the cause of poor results. A box suftic I
iently large enough to allow the ben to
turn nround without crowding against
the sides, with the nest made in the
centre, as follows: First put in the box
three or four inches of fresh earth,
rounding out to projwr shape, then oat
or other abort, broken straw, which after
fixed in, sprinkle a handful of sifted
ashes, and the nest is ready for the
eggs. If in the early part of the season,
from nine to eleven eggs are plenty, for it
there are more the outer ones become
chilled., and as the hen turns them often,
in time the eggs in the centre also get
to the outside and nearly all become
chillod. Should an egg get broken,
they should all he carefully washed in
warm or tepid water, and clean straw re
place the other. Feed and water at a
certain hour each day, and keep your
setting hens where other fowls cannot
molest them. Always have a dust liath
for them.
Horse Baring at Fairs.
A correspondent of the Elmira
Farmer's Club bandies this subject
without gloves, and wc pass his opin
ions along for the judgment of our
Centrc county farmers, llowcver
much we may agree or disagree with
him wc must admit that he puta his
side of the case pretty strongly :
"Can county agricultural fairs be run
success fully without the horse race V—
is the question of one of the corre
Kndenta of the Club. I answer—
y must be, or fail. Our fairs, as usu
ally conducted, are a stench in the
nostrils of a large clam of farmers ; and
this class is just the one we most need,
and the one we must have or fail.
Good, staid, square-dealing, matter of
fact farmsrs will not take their massive
short-horns, their aristocratio Hare
fords, their golden fleeced Merinos, or
epicurean Devon*. their pair of majestic
cart and plow horses, or their sleek
brood mares, their wealth-bestowing
Jerseys, or their best stock cows to the
fair, and play second fiddle to some no
body with a long whip and jocky cap
who usurps all the best places, and re-
*l the best prises, and whose
( only claim is that he represents an ani-
mal of no practical value, but which in
some way succeeded in getting a "re
cord j" and the proprietor walks proud
ly up and down the track in front of
the judges'stand followed by the groom
leading the old rip by the bit, with two
or three blankets upon his arm, and in
one hand a sponge, ostensibly to wipe
the old horse's nose, but really to signi
fy that the whole thing from beginning
to end is a "sponge."
But here wo are met by tho trustees
with the old excuse, thut we must have
tho race to draw the crowd to pay tho
hills. That, brother Secretary, is one
of the many commonly received errors
that art) accepted without examination.
It is false. \Vu ure not obligi dto run a
jocky club nor countenance a gambling
enterprise in order to hold a successful
fair. If we wore, then I would say let
tho fairs die. Tlio debasing and de
moralising influences of a horse race,
patronized by our boys and girls, is 100
groat a price to pay for even a " success
ful" fair, brother farmers, the excuse
for the race is not valid. I<et the little
county society bo relieved of the ex
pense of extra police, judges' stunil,
scats, anil tho two or three hundred
dollars paid in purses, and we will have
more money for other purposes than we
have now, for the old turmers and their
families will be there, and the fine stock
wili be there, and there will be some
body to look after it, and at it, and all
the drunkenness and rowdjism, and
nine tenths of the profanity will be
• liminated from the crowd ; and a spir
it of emulation will be aroused, and
the fair will grow in influence, in num
bers and in usefulness each year; and
instead of being the tail of a jockey's
kite, it will be in every deed a (turner's
festival."
Fruit Drying ly Wholesale.
A SttiUKSTIIIN.
Wc find in the lust number of the
Husbandman a letter from an intelli
gent Kiul experienced correspondent
of the "Elmira Farmer's Club," ou the
subject of fruit drying, which we re
produce below. At first it may seem
untimely to discuss the subject of
drying fruit, before the blossoms for
the season have yet appeared, but we
deem the "cheese factory plan" sug
gested by Mr. Hinckley, the key to
success, and publish it now that time
may Ire had for consummating ar
rangements before the fruit ripens.
The successful drying in the liest
and most attractive manner of our
surplus fruit might prove one of the
"small matters" of the farm alluded
to last week which would help make
the difference between profit and loss
in the operations of many a Centre
county farmer:
Fre don i a, N. Y., March 2"., ] 579.
W. A. Armstrong— farmer*s
Club ln the club reports of the 2filh
inhtant, information in regard to evap
orators and evAporting fruit, is sought
for. A season's ex|>erience in litis line
leads me to the conclusion that evnpnr
atom, on a small scale, or, what tnay he
called, farm evaporators, will not meet
the exjiectations of those wtio invest in
thein. The expenses of running what
are colled farm evaporators are propor
tionately greater than those of larger
size. The evaporated fruit is not so
uniform in quality and the opportuni
ties for selling small or family lots at
satisfactory prices limited. The super
iorty of evaporated fruits consists in
their being left in such condition that
when the water expelled is restored,
little difference can be detected be
iween them and the fru:t in their nat
urml state. To accomplish this all the
pniceases must be as rapid as possible
without injury to the fruit, as chemical
changes and decomposition set in at
once after the preparation la made. To
secure the best results it requires skill,
experience and close attention, such ss
farmers as they are usually situated can
not individually well give. 1 think the
belter way would be for tho farmers of
a neighborhood to adopt the cheese
factory plan, by uniting in the purchase
of an evaporator of sufficient capacity
to work up the fruit of the entire neigh
borhood, and place the management
in the hands of one of their nuaiber
who can devote his entire time and
thought to it while in operation ; or
sell their fruit and let the business pass
into the hands of those who will give
it their undivided attention.
This subject is one of importance to
many of the farmers and fruit growers
of this Stale. With them the question
of profit or loss for the year de|>ends
largely upon a favorable disposal of sur
plus fruit, especially the apple crop.
The last year's stock of common dried
apples has brought only three cents per
pound, while evaporated have brought
three or four times that sum. Three
cents per pound is equal to fifteen cents
j*r bushel for apples in a green state,
with all the wear and tear and labor oi
drying thrown away, as it takes on an
average four and one-half bushels of
green apples to make one of dried.
My experience has been with an evan
orater called the "Automatic." It
seems to combine all the desirable qual
ities that can be expected in an evapor
ator. His comparatively cheap, sim
pie In construction, easily managed,
utilizing all the heat and turns out fruit
of the best quality. Many have par
taken of our apples when cooked and
supposed they were eating groen fruit.
This evaporator consists of a furnace,
a hot-air reservoir containing a gover
nor to distribute the heat evenly upon
the trays, and a series of twenty five
trays four and one-half inches deep
resting upon the hot air reservoir, and
0 constructed that wnen placed one
upon the other they form on air tight
shaft, except at the top which is open
for the escape of moisture. The fur
nace is placed in a basement, or cellar,
and reaches to the floor alrove. im
mediately over the furnace and upon
the floor the hot air reservoir Is placed
and the trays in line above this and
reaching into the story above. The
fruit is put In at the bottom of the
shaft, and by an ingenious application
of crank or lever power, the whole
abaft ii ruined wlntn the fienh (rny in
put in und tlia fruit in tliin manner
gradually elevated until it reaches the
top when it in removed. When tho
shaft in lilled a tray of evaporated fruit
come* off at the top an often aa a frenh
one in put in at the bottom.
The capacity of a three feet mpiare
tray evaporator of thin kind in about
thirty five bunheln of borrien or lifly
bunholn npplen (green fruit) in twenty
four bourn. If fruit in plenty, larger
trays would be preferable, an the capac
ity in in proportion to the air.c ol the
troy. The work in quite lively and re
quire* nimble linger*. The apple in
firnt taken up by the parer who, with a
lew turimof a machine specially adapt
ed to thin purpono, paren, cor en und
nlioen it into a continiioun ring, and
handn it to the trimmer who removes
any remaining piece* of nkin.all bruin
t-d or defective npotn, and with one
ntroke of the knife cut* tho continuous
ring into ningle one.n the ni/.e of tlu
apple, and pan.se* them to the tray
where they are placed one layer deep
over the galvanised wire that consti
Hi ten the bottom. On an average in
four minute* from tho time the apple in
token from tho banket by the purer, ii
in in the eva|Mirater, and ill two hour*
and one-half the proem* i* complete
and the fruit ready for market in the
best possible condition.
From thi* brief description it will be
neon that thin uio !<• of preparing fruit
in a great improvement upon the old
one of running the green fruit upon
string*, or npreading upon boardn nnd
exposing it to the air, the prey ol flies
and other insects, until dried. It i ai
ready revolutionising the entire Indus
try bv causing common dried fruit, en
peeinily apples, to be nob! no low thai
tlieir preparation ha* censed to be r>
muucralive. The consumers at houii
and abroad demand abetter article unu
appear willing to pay for it. There can
be no doubt that any process on tin
part of farmers approximating thin plan
of systematic evaporation will result in
tho improvement of their dried fruit
but the same difficulties that now sur
round them will still continue. The
product* of different farmers or faun
iiea will not be equal in quality. The
lots will be comparatively *mn|l and
will naturally go to the country or vil
lage merchant, nnd by him be sold to
larger dealer* and go to their final m ir
kel an mixed lou at prior* that will
not prove profitable to the farmer;
while the larger Iot will bo uniform in
quality, sought for by the vsholoah
deulcr and exporter, and command
prices in porportion as they establish
and maintain the reputation of their
respective brands.

The Long and the Short of it.
The Sci'ntijir Farmer, in nn nib-r
-esting article on the "Wastes of the
Farm," given the following :
While we are on ploughing, let u>
mention another waste we frequently
notice in our rides j this is the plough)g
furrows of short lenght when it were as
easy to plough longer ones. This is
such a palpable waste that we would ol
moat be ashamed fo dwell ti|on it, did
we not know that it is so prevalent.
The following table was drawn up from
actual experience by the Karl of Mar in
Kngland, and is well worthy of consid
eration. The furrow slice in each case
was eight inches broad ;

Thu* it appear* that when the farm

yarl* in length when he could "a* well
plough a furrow two hundred and sev

a wide of three hour* and twenty min

the day'* lahor of men and team be

case doe# not lessen the fnrco of the ar
gument; for any one who honestly ex
amine* into hi# pat experience in
ploughing will aee that the principle ia
a correct one, and ha* a practical appli
cation.
Some j*eara ago having our corn
in a field whose length was some
thing more than double its width,
and the corn being planted in rows
both ways, wc noticed that in culti
vating the short way, the men con
sumed much more time than when
going the long way. Being unable
to work- one day we posted ourselves
in a convenient place for observation,
and requesting the men to drive at a
uniform and steady gait, for a certain
length of time, each day, we "took
notes" with wstch in hand, and npon
measuring the ground gone oVcrj
found a difference in favor of the
long distance of nearly one-third.
Window boxes containing vegetal
bio plants, may be set out during
mild days, and when it may lie done
without risk of frost, be left out all
night.
Is the Breed In tho Feeding Trough ?
From th flora! Now Vrkr.
Replying to thin query, we are in
clined to make the paradoxical an
swer that it is foolish to think it is
and yet dangerous not to know it is.
No profitable breed was ever made
without liberal feeding. Rut feeding
alone, however liberal, will not make
a profitable breed. Feeding, care,
and intelligent selection, are all re
quired for the improvement of farm
stock. And after a valuable breed
is thus produced, its excellence can
only be continued by a continuance
of all these. Nothing is more wretch
ed und worthless than a degraded
thoroughbred of any kind. This is
one reason why thoroughbreds are
not more popular with the "old-fash
ioned farmers." They are creatures
of high art, and in farming, high art
and old fashions are strangers to each
other. To take a line Jersey cow, a
choice Essex pig, an Oxford-Down
sheep, ami subject tlieni to the meth
ods that have developed the scrub
cattle, the "elm-|>eelers" and the
"fence scalers" of our [lens and pas
tures, is not the way to show them
oil' to a good ml vantage.
The old breeds are tough, for the
same reason which the Dutch farmer
gave for his wife's resignation to die;
".Mine Gott," said hu "She hat to
be!" Now the very methods taken
to develop the profitable qualities of
improved stock, —the liberal and var
ied feeding, the rich pasturage, the
warm stables—all have a tendency to
lessen their power of resistance to
extreme hardship. It is simply a
question whether it is better to hove
"tough" cows that will make 100
pounds of butter a year, or such as
must have more care and lictter feed,
but will return .500 pounds in the
same time.
Probably nine-tenths of the farm
ers, even of New England, New York
and Pennsylvania, have as yet little
or no blood of foreign breeds in their
stock. let they possess many liea*t*
that arc goisl and profitable. Our
"native" animals are as eastfy im
proved by proper care, feeding and
breeding, as those of any sort of the
world. The judiciou* introduction of
foreign blood w ill often hasten Uie
development of desired qualities.
Rut never, nrrrr NEVER will it do so
unless, along with it, we take the
methods that made it what it is. And
uilh those methods it is simply a
question of greater or leas time to
make as good or latter thorougli
breds ujMin the basis of our "native"
animals. This is most important to
le known. It is not yet by any
means so well know as it ought to
be.
Self Milking Ocwg.
The following method, recommend
ed in the Triimnr some time ago bv
E. Strang, of Kalamazoo, Mich., is
one of the most simple and effective
of the numerous devices employed as
preventive of self-milking cows: Take
a tough hickory *ti< k three feet long
and one inch thick in Uie middle and
tapering to a jioint at each end. By
means of a couple of small holes
through the slick and a couple of
leather strings (not wire*, a* they
will cut into the horn) tie the stick
at its middle across the forehead of
the cow close under the horns, and
there is an end of self-sucking.
Garden Track.
Peas for seed that have been saved
south of the St. Lawrence will at
this season lie found pretty well filled
with holes, in each of which the small
|tea-weevil will lie seen. Put n table
spoonful of turpentine in two quarts
of water, stir nnd put the js a in the
mixture, stirring them occasionally:
after having soaked for fifteen or
twenty minutes jiour ofT the water
and spread out the peas to dry.
Captain John 11. Moore, a well
known and successful market garden
er of Concord, Mass., and whose as
paragus usually pays from SXW<I to
$">00 per acre, dares to maintain that
the salt-dressing is of no value to the
plant, and that the generally accept
ed theory to the contrary is "a
myth."
A mixture of sulphur and plaster
dusted iqion young cabbage plants
will check the greenish black jump
ing beetle, that sometimes attacks
them.
Dwarf celery is the kind to grow.
There is much less labor in its cul
ture, and the quality is much Autwr
ior to to the tall kinds. Near New
York city Mm dwarf bnudringhawi la
mostly grown ; oat Boston, the
Boston dwarf.
For quality in peas, commend us
to the champion of England. Lov
ers of good pcaa must grow this kind
or be behind the times.
Tomatoes that have been trans
planted Into flats or boxes, are helped
by root pruning. This is done by
drawing a knife through the soil, mid
way between the rows of plants each
wny. If litis is done two of three
times, each plant will have its Com
pact little hall of roots.
