Wk hear loud complaints of the
ravages of the cut-worm in the corn
Ileitis; and 011 our own farm find them
in greut numbers, and much larger
and fatter than usual. Who can ac
count for the increase this year'!
MR. JACOB DEirz,of Howard town
ship, set some two hundred Bartlett
pear grafts for lis this spring, and
very nearly all of them are growing
finely*. This is a gratifying evidence
of the skill and care which charac
terizes all .Mr. Deitz'a work of this
kind.
WE notice an unusual increase in
number among insect pests this sum
mer. Potato lots near by those
which last summer were compara
tively free from the attacks of the
"bug,"and which were carefully kept
clean, are literally swarming with
them, while " bumble In-es," —big
enough to be mistaken for a small
bird, and with " hummers" that
rival the fog-horns of the coast, —are
as abundant as grasshoppers in liar-)
vest. Is this a possible result of the
dry season ?
A REFORT comes from Georgia that
a new and entirely unknown disease,
of a malignant and very fatal charac
ter, has broken out among the cattle
in the southern part of the State, and
is spreading with great rapidity. So
far the disease defies all remedies.
State Commissioner of Agriculture,
Hon. Thomas I*. Janes, who, by the |
way, has qualifications for the posi
tion which ought to locate hint at the
head of the Department at Washing
ton at an early day, lias already lie
gun investigations, with the hope of
finding what the disease is, and the
method of cure.
A CALIFORNIA correspondent of a
Philadelphia pa|>er tells strange sto- |
ries of the failure or straightened
financial circumstances of all the i
great wheat producers of the West,- j
Dr. Glenn, the Dalrymples, and so
on, —and says that farming on a
gigantic scale on the Pacific coast'
must be considered a failure. If
farmers raising from half a million
to a million bushels of wheat each
year cannot keep out of debt, what
is the use of having so much land ?
Wouldn't it be just as well for all
concerned, producer as well as con
sumer, to divide up a little ?
WE must be prepared to hear
shortly that American sheep are sub
ject to no end of hideous diseases,
and that the use of American mut
ton is hazardous in the extreme.
The exportation of sheep to England
increases rapidly since the " lung
plague " scare has checked the trade
in beef cattle, ami the profits of Eng
lish brecdeis are seriously threaten
ed. Something will have to be done;
and we shall not be surprised if an
epidemic of tape-worms, or something
equally distressing, is soon reported
among eaters of American mutton.
It is not possible that American
sheep can be wholly exempt from the
numerous maladies to which all tlcsb
is heir— when exported !
IT may have been true that there
was "ftothing new under the sun"
when the statement was made, but
that was before the days of alleged
professors of agriculture. Here is
one " Prof." Farrington, lor whom
the State of Maine is responsible,
who has, in a nine years cxperi
ment,discovered that a given amount
of raw meal fed to pigs will pro
duce 17.5 per cent, more pork than
the same amount of meal cooked;
and that the application of $5O
worth of barnyard manure per acre
will give an average return of but
$18.62 in increased crope. It is very
evident that among the crying needs
of Maine agriculture arc either im
proved cooking apparatus and rich
er manure piles, or an improved
"Prof, of Agriculture."
AT last spring's shearing time we
discovered our little ilock of sheep
(we hud purchased them only the pre
vious fall, never having kept sheep
before,) to be nearly eaten up with
" ticks," but in the course of a day
or two found tlint the vermin had all
left the old sheep and massed them
selves upon the lambs, whose longer
wool aiforded them better hiding
places. Upon consulting the author
ities we found "tobacco dip" recom
mended. So, begging an armful of
"stems" from a neighbor who raises
it, we made a tea as strong as we
thought the lambs would bear, and
carefully and thoroughly dipped each
one in it. We have just sheared our
sheep for this season, and found less
than an average of one "tick" apiece
for the entire Ilock. That's one thing
tobacco is good for.
THE dry, cold weather of early
spring, succeeded by the drouth amf
heat of the later weeks, has been a
trying time to all crops. The uni
versal law of compensation holds
good, however, in farming as in ev
erything else, and this same dry, hot
time is spendid for killing weeds.
Keep the cultivators going, and im
prove the opportunity ; and at the
same time, I) 3* keeping the ground
loose and mellow, 3*oll will do more
to counteract the influence of the
drouth than can be done in any other
way.
[Since th* above u written the blessed
rain ha.- come, and s* it pours and "oaks,
bringing comfort t<> " nil the inhabitant*
of the earth,"—merchant and hanker as ;
well as farmer ; bl ast and bird as well as
man—wo are reminded of the promise
that " while the earth rcniaincth seedtime
and harvest shall not cease."]
When Shall We Cut Our Hay?
The question of which is l>est, early
or late cut ha 3* ? is a much mooted
one, ami there is a wide disagree
ment upon it in actual practice. We
imagine, however, that this often due
more to the convenience or incon
venience of the farmer than to his
convictions on the subject. The pre
ponderance of opinion, on the part
of those w hose opinions are most en
titled to credit, seems to be in favor
of early cutting. We give extracts
below from two good authorities,
the American A (jriculturirt, and Farm
Journal:
The object of the haymaker should
he to *ei*e on that particular period in
the growth of the plant when it con
tains the largest amount of nutritive
matter, and this is when the plant is in
full bloom. Every hour that clover 1*
allowed to stand after it has reached
this jioint is at the expense of it* nutri
tion, and if not cut until rq>e, the stems
have become <> haul and woody as to
l*e hut little better than so many sticks.
It ha* long been supposed that early
cut hay is more valuable than that cut
later. If the judgment of the cows
were a test, there would he no question
about it. They will leave the rij>er hay,
and even refuse to eat it at all, if they
call procure that which has been rut
earlier. In the writer's dairy, the
milk falls off more than 10 per cent,
when the young hay is changed for
that cut two weeks later. This is sufll
eient to support the general opinion in
spite of chemical analyses, which go to
show that the ripe hay is heavier, more
bulky, and contains more nutritious i
substance, than that cut earlier. Per
haps the operation* of the chemist can 1
extract more nutriment from ripe hay
than can the cow's stomach; hut a*
young hay feed* more profitably, it
seems best to cut early.
I .ast season the Solehury farmers'club
discussed this question Oliver Balder
sUm was in favoi of early cutting. One
advantage in culling young wa* the
weeds would not ripen their seeds, and
would shrink up so as not to f>e notice
able. He thought there wa* not as
much waste as generally supposed by
drying out in young gra**. Hie hulk
might be lessened, hut little would be
lost in weight, and there would lie a
gain in quality, W. P. Mtgill thought
early cut hay was letter, and there was
much less draft on the soil if cut l>efore
the seed ripened. He hail noticed that
where hay was cut late the stock invari
bly came out in poor condition unless
much grain was fed. W. W. I'axson
instanced a farm where the hay was al
ways cut early, where little grain was
fed and the stock always came out in
good condition in the spring.
"It is not denied," say* Mr. Kngle,
from whom we before quoted, "that all
grasses will make a larger bulk of hay,
if ripe when cut, than if cut when more
tender, hut the difference in weight (if
any) U very little compared with the
difference in bulk, while the Utter is as
much superior as hay as it had been for
pasture or soiling. This applies ein
phstically to milch cows. Not only
will they give more milk from hay made
from tender grass, hut the butter will
he high colored. In order to secure
hay of the best quality, such a* will
make most milk and butter and keep
animals in good condition, cut glasses
when they contain the largest smotint
of saccharine matter } cure, if possible,
without too much hot sun ; get it dry
as evenly as possible, and gather it as
damp as it will allow without mow burn
ing, and you will have all that can tea
sonably be desired for good bay."
Another reason for cutting early is
that It givw the second crop a chance
lo spring up and cover the ground I><<-
I'oro the hot, dry days of mid-Hummer,
furnishing a better sod for the follow
ing year's crop.
"Another very important point in
cutting clover curly is it* elb ct upon
tho land. It has been proved by actual
experiments, extending beck lor the
lust quarter of a century and more,
that plnnU removed from the land in
the earlier stage* of their growth ex
haust the noil out little, the roots con
taining nearly alt the elements of nu
trition the plant took from the soil, but
after the seed has formed, nearly
all the soil elements go to the forma
tion of the latter."
Chickens Indoors.
Ily fob-nrl I'. I). Cut-til.
For years we have tried to raise chick
ens, or at least give them a good slurt
indoors, in a granary bin or on the harn
fl ior, hut they invariably became sickly
atid did not do well. Laatyear we tried
lirge roomy boxes out of doors and let
them have a run on the ground, but
when a rainy time caine they used to
get wot and drabbled and chilled, and
then they would die. This season we
went back to tho indoor practice and
tried the experiment of putting a small
heap of sand, about four quarts, in one
corner of each apartment where we put
the young chickens; result, a perfect
success. Wo have not lost one chicken.
Tiie truth is, the little chicks lacked the
fine gravel which was an indispensable
aid in the digestion of their food; get
ting this in tiie sand ami being warm
slid dry they have done well.
For eight years we have constant
ly practiced Col. Curtia' method of
starting chickens, excepting that we
use fine gravel mixed with sand, and
every day or two throw a square of
fresh sod to them. To see the en
ergy with which the little fellow*
scratch and peck away at the soil is
pleasure enough to repay the trouble,
to say nothing of the benefit it is to
them. During the eight year* we
have followed this plan we have not
lost i-ight chick* in consequence of
" indoor practice."
So Long a* Only Farmer* were Hurt Who
Cared ?
A stall correspondent of the .Imcr
ictm Agriculturist, in speaking of the
lung-plague, has thi* rap over the
knuckle* for "the Government," for
its neglect of farmer*' intereslsj;
The exigence of this malady in the
"swilbmilk stables" of the vicinity of
New York has long been known, and
the danger to the agricultural commu
nity often pointed out by the agrirul
tliral pre. -So iong a* it was only the
farmer* wlio were hurt, or likely to be,
nobody cared, but the moment the
mercantile interest*, shippers nnd ship
owners, snd the "cattle trade," the
railroad* nd all concerned in traffic in
c.illie, were effected, tiie whole emit!
try was aroused, the Slates of N'-w
York and New Jersey, an-l the General
Government, all took prompt action,
and are doing no haif Way work, so fur
as I can ico.
Line apon Line.
Mr. W. F. Clarke print* in hi*
WtMrrn A<lvrr'i*er column* a plea for
the Improved system of farmers'
garden* frequently suggested in the
Dkmcmrat :
"A roomy area of land, unencumber
ed with tre.- ntfording free scope for
the plough. Disearif t e<l and sow
every thing in long row s far enough apart
to admit of tillage with the bons-Hos.
By adopting this method the hard laf-or
i reduced to the minimum, the whole
matter greatly simplified. It will cost
lul a little extra trouble to have sufti
cient choice manure on hand to tnnkr
lbs land capable of growing cverilnng
sown in it lo such a pilch of perfection
as lo be a constant source of pride and
pleasure."
We copy this liccausc of the deem
ing necessity of "precept upon ptv
cept, line upon line"; and to give
those who "potter" again this year
in the old-fashioned, laborious, non
effective way, an opportunity to com
pare the obvious advantage* of the
proposed improvement over the ols
jectionahlc garden plan of the fore
fathers, which kill* weed* only nt the
cost of persistent hard work with rake
and hoc.
Soap the Fruit Trees.
<V}rrc|itv|pfKe < 4 Ooaatry Gentleman.
A good wash, and at the aatne time a
good fertilizer for fruit trees, is made by
mixing soft soap and water in equal
projiorlinn* for old, and two thirds water
for young trees, and rubbing it in thor
oughly snd liberally with an old broom.
This kills insects, especially the bark
louse ; give# the bark a smooth, halthy
look, and furnishes potash in a very
available form for the growth of wood
and fruit. Tho common practice of
whitewashing fruit trees is objectionable
as the lime stop* the pore* of the hark,
and impede# the breathing and exuda
tions of the tree operating very similar
ly to the akin of an animal. When
ever the pores of the skin are stopped,
we expect disease. -Soap and water
keep the pore# of the skin open and
clean, and operate on tree# very similar
ly. A tree well soaped looks aa much
better for the operation as a dirty boy
does when well washed, ft may be ad
ded that soft soap is an antidote to the
borer. It will not kill him when fairly
entrenched in the tree, but it does hin
der the disposition of eggs, and destroys
them when deposited.
This application should he made to
all orchards annually, and thi* is the
best month in which to do it.
Poultry for the Boyg,
We find the paragraph* below in the
Philadelphia Time* and Bo*ton Trav
eller, and dovetail tlietn together that
the Dkmochat'h reader* may have
the benefit of their aoiuid doctrine :
As u general rule we do not think
farmer* pay Kuflicietil attention to tho
production of poultry for sale. (,'ire
fully kept nccotint* will demonstrate
that one pound of poultry can he pro
duced at about half the cost of the
same weight of hcef or pork, and al
ways meets with a ready market. Anoth
er advantage is that it can he attended
to <|uite as well, if not better, by wo
men and children than by men, thus
economizing the labor of the whole fam
ily, and directing it into the production
of profit for the general purse.
'I ry the experiment of allowing the
children, if large enough, to take cre
of tlm poultry for a share of the pro
ducts, cither in eggs or in dressed poul
try. Charge them with all tho food
consumed anil credit them with all the
eggs or flesh consumed by the family,
and note your percentage in specula
lion, and the benefit it has been to
theni.
A school-boy built a hennery, thus
improving his mechanical skiff, and
then bought a number of barn-door
fowls, and took care of them while at
tending school and doing his proportion
of "chores." In a year and u-half he
cleared, after paying for everything his
fowls consumed, f 140, and spent no
more time with his fowls than his school
mates did in their amusements, and
without doubt caring for hi* pets gave
him as much satisfaction us any Hung
else lie could have done. He made Ins
money simply by having a regular daily
system of cleanliness, and feeding those
few fowls, and properly caring for their
eggs ond increase.
Another Current Worm Cure.
Mr. 11. Lyman, of Broome county,
N. Y., in responsible for this :
If gypsutu (plaster; is put on currant
werms at noon, it doe* them neither
good nor harm. JSut the c*e is ditlcr
••nt if it is sprinkled on before they
wake in the illuming. Tiie dew talis
with the gypsum upon them and bard
ens in two UAIIIUUM, SO that when they
wke they find themselves in a sarco
phagus from which they cannot escape.
Hone Delusion.
O L ITUFA! V
Gradually it In-gins to get into the
mind* of the average farmer that
raising trotting horse* doesn't pay—
at least lor hun. It may pay nomc
laxly, but that somebody is not him
self. "fi* true the papers say that
"Joker" has been sold for a thousand
or'more ; but young "Dexter," now
five years old, that has a very "prom
ising gait," and has never earned a
cent, for lie was too valuable to
work, lias now been sold. "The price
for such a colt is low—not a baga
telle of his true worth. Such a atep
pcr as he is worth $5OO. Why |>eo
pie ought to snap at him at that fig
ure." "lie will go one of these days,
when a man come* along who can
appreciate hi in." "Why, 1 should
not lie surprised if he brought sever
al thousands yet. See what Bonner
pays, ami this colt i* a grandson of
'liambletonian.' "
And so the delusion is kept up
until young "Dexter" "eat* himself
up" several time*, and the skeleton
buggy is worn out, and then in despair
and disgust the owner sells him fur
sl2s—all lie is worth—and the trot
ter goes into the horse market and
wears out lie fore some light wagon
or {M-rhaps a street car.
"Hani Pan" in Farming.
Much lias been said aliout getting
down to "hard pan" in financial mat
ters. The farming of the country
need* to get on tlii* basis a* well,
and this will not ho until crops arc
grow n with the distinct understand
ing that their growth has taken from
the soil something that must lie re
placed, before we can know whether
the crop is a profit or a loss. Selling
crops year after year without manur
ing, is quite as bad in farming as do
ing business on a fluctuating and de
preciated currency 1* in money mat
ters.

A Good Deal of a Man.
Pmf W. O. }lnl<f.
The intelligent, progressive Ameri
can farmer, and his name is legiou, is
a good deal of a man.
Aoßtcui.Tt nic should lie fostered
by government because it creates so
much business. It is not the cities,
hut- the rural population that makes
the grest market for our manufactur
ed products. Wipe out the ability
of the farmers to buy manufactured
goods coming from our tuills, ami the
mills would stand still.
