THE TUT OF TUB KtTIOHAI UILriRI IH THI IRTtLll
iitm-i AND raoaruiTT or TII nam*.
Every farmer in Ait annual rrperxenct
discovers something of value. Writ* it anil
send it to the "Agricultural Editor of the
Dimochat, Hellefonte, I'enn'a," that other
farmers may have the benefit of it. I'd
communications be timely, and be sure that
they are brief and welt /stinted.
If vol' go to the fair to tee and
learn, that's one thing; if you go to
see and be teen , that's another.
THE dry weather of the fall, so far,
is favorable to ditching. Much of the
farm land of our county, particularly
in the Paid Kagle Valley, would l>o
benefitted by underdraining, and It
can lie done now to much better ad
vantage than when the ground has
lieen soaked with late fall rains.
SOME one, in writing of " Farm
Divisions" in the Former's Friend, of
the fitli instant, speaks of fences as
"ornamental," and advocates the old
Virginia worm fence for division be
tween fields on the score of durabili* j
ty and convenience! And he seems
to be serious, too!
in the DEMOCRAT,of August 28, we 1
published ail account of experiments
made with several different fertilizers
on the wheat crop by Hon. W. W. 1
Heed, of Erie, in which lie referred
to continued experiments, the results j
of which would be known in the liar
vest of 1879. We wrote Mr. Reed
asking for a statement of these re
sults, and publish his reply in anoth
er column.
Rochester, X. Y., is a favored
city just now, and is enjoying a week
full of agricultural good things. On
.Monday the National Agricultural
Congress opened its annual session
there, followed by the meeting of the
American Potnological Society, which
held its first session yesterday. In
addition this is the week of the fuir
of the Western X. Y. Agricultural
Society. Our friends Joseph Harris,
James Viek and William C. Barry,
ami all the agricultural, tloricultural
and horticultural lights of lesser do- '
gree, who illuminate Rochester by
their presence, will have a full week
of it.
THE short hay crop of this season
makes the saving of the fodder of the
corn crop a more important matter
tiian usual. The stalks will lie much
more valuable if cut green than if
left to lie killed by frost. Resides
this early cutting helps curing, and
the husking may be done in good
season, and the fodder be safely
housed before it is injured by the
rough weather of late fall anil early
winter. Care in shocking will tend
to save fodder, and lighten the work
of husking. It might prove profita
ble to pass through the corn-field
before cutting, and cut off and burn I
all the bunches of smut, and smutty
ears. Smut has wonderful re-pro
ducing qualities, and seems to be
gaining in the corn crop. A little
care now might prove to be the
"stitch in time."
WE note, with pleasure, the un
usual care given to putting in the
wheat crop this season. In all direc
tions efforts seem to be made to have
the ground in the best jiossible con
dition. During a little trip through
the Bald Eagle Valley the other day,
we noticed two or three cases in
which farmers hail returned to the
old practice of plmcing in the seed.
In the cases which came under our
oliservation the fields had lieen fal
lowed and harrowed with sufficient
frequency to keep the weeds from
getting too much start, and then
covered with fine barnyard manure.
The seed was sown upon this, and
plowed in with a shallow furrow,
making "lands" nbont twenty-four
feel wide, and deepening the "dead
furrows" between them, for the pur
pose of drawing off the surface water.
It seemed strange, in these days of
drills and cultivators, and disc har
rows, and all the other "improved
machinery" which inventive genius
has given the farmer, to sec this
return to the primitive methods of
our fathers, but wc arc not at all cer
tain that the "good old way" will
§ not, in some instances at least, prove
the licst way.
THE current number of the Rural
New Yorker is it* special "wheat
number," and it is crammed full of
useful reading on thin subject fYom
end to end. The only criticism that
we have to make is that it is too late.
It should have appeared at least two
weeks earlier, that the present sea
son's seeding, which is now practi
cally ended, might have been benefit
ted by it.
A WKHTI'IRI.D, MASH,, KAHVKR is try
ing an interesting experiment to see if
high cultivation will successfully pro
duce three crops in one season. He
began cutting, last week, a fine crop of
tobacco, "set" about the 20th of June,
upon laud from which he had just cut a
crop of grass. July L'.'Hh turnip seed
was sown between the row* of tobacco,
and present appearances indicate a
favorable termination of the experi
ment.
This would lie much more inter
esting if we could know something
about the rate at which manure has
I
been applied to the ground for the
tobacco and turnip crops, ami how
much more lie expects to apply before
sowing grain on it next year.
Stable Manure the Stand by
Emm Ihr X V. Tribnn*.
The constantly increasing use of
commercial or chemical manure in
this country is an indication of pro
gress in agriculture; but it is well to
dothings with moderation,and to hold
fast the old that is proved, while
accepting ami utilizing to our liest
advantage the good things that are
new. Prominent among the old that
should not le neglected, is stable
manure, not only its use, but also its
careful manufacture; we should not
merely utilize what we cannot help
making, but we should make as much
of it as we can profitably. It will, of
course, not pay to keep animals sole
ly as machines for working hay,
straw and roots into manure, and
then to sell them at a loss; but
whilst the vicissitudes of the local
markets may occasionally reduce the
price of stock to so low a |wiint as to
produce this result, we do not think
that any fair-minded farmer will con
tend that as a general tiling he can
sell a well-fatted beeve, or a good
heifer, or a sturdy brace of steers that
he has raised for more than their
cost. If he has fed them poorly, nud
they are lean and scrawny, he may
not find buyers; if he has fed them
well, somebody will take them at a
paying price ; and the more liberally
they are fed, the better their manure.
And when the farmer has this man
ure he knows just what it is good for,
and what he can do with it if he has
' had any ordinary amount of ex|ieri
| ence to guide him in his business;
and it is of all manures the least
, likely to give him the go-by. with the
(ilea that the season was unfavorable
for its work.
I'sed properly, as every good far
mer knows how to use it, it can never
do any harm, notwithstanding some
of the foolishness that is occasionally
seen in the papers about the matter.
In an article which lately come tinder
| our notice we are treated to several
I assertions as to the bad effect of
stable manure on the quality i f cer
tain crops, for which we lielieve there
is very slight foundation, if any A
all; and when there arc not assertions
as to harm that has lieen done, there
arc suggestions supplied by the writ
' er's fertile imagination, of greater
| harm that may le done. It is asserted
i that vegetables are more watery ami
otherwise of a poorer quality, when
{manured than when chemical ma
nures are used—that pig's dung im
parls a flavor of its own to roots and
to tobacco; and it is suggested that
the decaying animal matter of this
manure may cause disease in nninials
that feed of grass produced with its
t aid.* Farmers should learn by
practice how to tnake profitable use
of chemical fertilizers; but they
should not lie led by any such state
ments and hints as these to give up
stable manure; it is after all, the
staple feeder of the crops in any
long settled country, and in the pres
ent condition of tilings the human
population of the world cannot Ik!
fed ami clothed without its assist
ance.

ERIK, .September 4,
EDITOR* DEMOCRAT— ttenr Sire: Your
letter came duly to ha..d, and in reply 1
am aorry to aay that my wheat laat fall
wn badly Injured by the "fly" and winter
killed in the winter and early apring, and
from these cauae* thero were ao many
"bare ipots" in the aectiona that I intended
to out and thraah aeparatelr, that it waa
not poaaihle to tell anything about the
result* of the (hrtiliz'-ra. What wheat
there waa waa very plump and full, but 1
don't expect to get over eight or ten buah
ela to the acre.
I ahall continue my experiment*, and
hope for better lurk next time.
Truly youra, Ac., Wm. W. Kkkd.
Now is the time to perfect your
plans for that new poultry house
which you have lwen thinking about
so long, and which you need so had*
iy. Don't let your liens go through
another winter without a comfort
able shelter.
ExpcrimenU with Wheat.
From th# I'ra.tkal Farmer.
As appropriate to the season, we
wish to suggest aornc experiments
with the wheat crop. First, us to
the amount of seed ja-r acre. A large
majority of farmers HOW from live to
aix j>ecks, probably because their
fathers did. Experiment on our soil
baH demonatraled that one bushel or
leas will produce nil the land ia capa
ble of, and in fact,more than a larger
quantity. We have grown a heavy
crop from half a bushel of seed,
and the result of our ex|>eritncnt in
i this direction has been to reduce,
one-third or more, the amount of
seed sown, and we have increased the
yield by so doing. Another experi
ment we would suggest is in the way
of lining and compacting the aoil.
It is the practice of many farmers to
sow their wheat after a single har
rowing. We arc convinced from our
, own practice that on some soils sev- j
# eral bushels to the acre may be add- j
ed, or the crop even doubled in some j
instances, by a dollar's worth of |
work expended to the acre in pulver- <
izing the soil. Experiments with fer- j
tilizers are of great importance. Try j
on a plat specially selected for the !
purpose, some special fertilizers. Try i
pure bone on one plat, bone and ashes
on another, wheat bran composted
with leaf mold for a few weeks on a
third, and suit on a fourth. Then on
a small plat, at least-, try the effect of
cultivation. There are statements
going tlu- round of the agricultural
pa[>erH that cultivation will double i
the yield of wheat. If these state
ments are true, we want to know it,
and if they are publishes! in the in
terest of those having machinery for
sale, we also want to know it. It
may Im> that on some soils it will be
largely beneficial and not on the oth
ers, and each fanner should know tor
himself. A few square rods, thor
oughly cultivated and compared with
an adjoining plat uncultivated, will
help to settle the question, and if a
hundred or more will try the aarne
experiment, ami rejiort through Tin
f'urmrr, it will throw still more light
on the question.
Errors iu Poultry Keeping.
Fanny Udd in Pror-tbal FafiMT.
An eminent poultry breeder once
Haid "liens were only machines for
laying eggs," ami a great many in
experienced poultry raisers accept
bis statement literally, and do not 1
feed their "egg-macbioes" any more
than they would a sewing machine;
if they must look UJKJII hens as ma
chines, let them also consider that
most machines need oiling occasion
ally.
Another error is in ovrr feeding, es
pectnlly the heavy Cochins and Rrah- i
mas; these rapid flesh-producing
breeds are given fattening food until
they arc so loaded down with fat that
they arc worthless as layers forever
after, and the Asiatics get the name
of Ixung enormous eaters, and jxxir j
egg-produccrs, when the fault lays
with the owner's manner of feeding,
and not with the "ravenous appetites"
of the large breeds.
Another bad practice is that of ir
regular feeding ; the fowls are fed
whenever the farmer or hi.! wife or
some of the children hap{s n to think |
of it. Sometimes they are fed early
in the morning; then again they get
their morning meal about the middle
of the forenoon, and sometimes they
don't get it at nil; it is starvation
one day and over-feeding the next.
Another great drawback to success
> in poultry keeping is the overstock
, ing small yards. Give your fowls
room enough to turn around without
treading on their neighbors' toes.
Another error is the custom of
keeping a rooster for every half doz
ien hens. Where fowls arc kept on
the farm and have free range, one
good, vigorous, healthy young roost
er to every fifteen or twenty hens is
j Hullicient.
Another mistake that farmers often
mnke is that of compelling fowls to
roost on the wood-pile, on the fence,
in the trees, in an open shed, or any
where else tbey can find a place, dur
ing the entire winter. Under such
circumstances it takes every crumb
of food that the hens can get to keep
up animal heat enough to keep from
freezing, nnd as a natural conse
quence eggs are nowhere.
Women as Poultry Raisers.
From thr Poultry World.
The custom practiced In France of
allowing the wife ao many francs a
a month or year as "pin-money," to
use as she pleases, is one that should
lie generally adopted, especially in
the United States. On the farm the
rare ami profits of some if not all the
jxiiiltry, could lie very properly trans
ferred to tho women of the household.
The care of poultry is a business
naturally adapted to women, ns it
requires patience and attention, and
at the same time, kindness and gen
tleness, traits too often lacking in the
sterner sex. There is no event In
connection with poultry raising, dur
ing the whole year, which has not its
interest for those who care for the
innocent creatures of the barn-yard,
whether it lie feeding the grateful
bipeds, gathering the eggs, hatching
the chickens, or reducing the flocks
in the fall to stilt winter quarters, all
have their charm, and excite the in
terest and sympathy of their attend
ants. There is much complaint
among physiologists that American
ladies lose health and beauty earlier
than they ought for want of sufficient
out-of-door exercise ; and this occu
pation lias among its other benefits,
that of sending tlicm daily abroad
into the pure outer air, and inciting a
love for rural, natural beauty not
found among those whom no such
duty tempts from the fireside.
How Farmers Lose Mouey.
Hy not taking one or more good
papers.
iiy keeping no account of farm
operations, paying no attention to
the maxim that a "stitch in time
saves nine," in regard to sowing
grain and planting seed at the prop
er time.
Leaving rca]crs, plows,cultivators,
etc., unsheltered from the rain and
the heat of the sun. More money is
lost in this way, annually, than most
persohs would la; willing to believe.
Permitting broken implements to
1m- scattered over the farm until they
are irreparable. Hy repairing broken
implements at the proper time, many
dollars may lie saved—a proof of the
assertion that time is money.
Attending auction sales and pur
chasing all kinds of trumphery, be
cause, iu the words of the vender,the
articles are very cheap.
Allowing fences to remain unre
paired until strange cattle are found
grazing iu the meadow, grain fields,
or browsing on the fruit trees.
IHslx-licving the principle of rota
tion of crops, before making a single
experiment.
Planting fruit trees without giving
the trees half the attention required
to make them profitable.
Tomatoes on Trellises.
c- tmsalnn of K.u.l V. IMkr
As an ex|>oriment I trained one
tomato vine this year on a trellis and
do not think I shall ever plant an
Other vine, without some kind of a
trellis, unless it is to ex|*crim<-!it.
Tho fruits on trellised vines attain a
large size, are juicy and do not taste
of the ground. While the fruit of the
vines that were left to run on the
ground, were rotting, those trained to
a trellis were sound and growing
rapidly. The trellis I use is the sarin
as the one described and engraved in
the Hum /, last spring. It takes but
little work to make one. Any farmer
i can make all lie wants in the barn
i some day when it rains. The fruit
will ri|s-n more evenly and ten days
earlier—which ia quite an advantage.
Moreover the arrangement gives tin
garden a more tasty ap|K-arancc and
it is much easier to keep the trclliscd
1 ground free from weeds.
Gardeners' Talk.
Ask a gardener what kind of soil
you should use for such ami such
plants, and lie will reply, a "loose,
mellow, rich and well-drained one."
i It matters little what plant, bush or
tree you sjn-ak of, that's Uic condi
tion the soil must Is- in. Take any
soil on your place, sandy, clayey,
loamy, gravelly, or even stony ; make
! it as above, and the plant must do
well. Here is the whole secret of
| successful and profitable growth. If
| you are building a house for yourself,
plow, subsoil, drain, manure, plow
again, narrow the garden fine, and
drain with tiles if necessary, hut let
it, liefore planting, possess the four
cardinal virtues, and there can In- no
such word as fail. The best farms
arc but facsimilies of this.
Birds vs. Insects.
From lb* A<kl#y (lowa. Knbrprtor.
A farmer in this State will not al
low partridges to lie killed on his
i place. He states that recent investi
gations by him prove conclusively
that they are the treat protectors the
wheat crop could have. In the craw
of one he found over a hundred bugs
of the most destructive kind to the
wheat crop. His crop is excellent,
while that of his neighbor ia ruined
by bugs.
Kerosene and Burdocks.
From Ylrk'* Monthly
We have used kerosene with com
plete success in destroying burdocks
ami other weeds. The plants should
lie cut off close to the ground ami a
few drops of the coal-oil poured on
to the crowns; they immediately com
mence to decay and an; utterly des
troyed. Troublesome weeds on the
lawn can thus be surely and speedily
disposed of.
Harvesting Beans.
From th# Amrtkan Afrlllarll.
Harvest beans carefully to pre
serve the color. Rain or mildew
will reduce the value fully 50 per
cent. Stack in tall, narrow heap*
around single stakes set in the
ground, end cap the stacks with
straw to shed rain. Thrash as soon
as dry, and store In barrels in a dry
place.
Manure as a Mnlch.
Manure proper is the grand mulch ;
it is a mulch for our meadows; it is
a mulch for the grain fields, applied
at the time of sowing; and for our
fruit trees. Hut it must tie applied
evenly and finely; then the ground
gets nil its strength. This has been
demonstrated, ft has been carried
out by science and experience.
