Tiik Farmer's Friend , of last week,
is kind enough to sj>eak encouraging
ly of our fair, anil call the special
attention of the 0 rangers, of which
society it is the organ in this State,
to it.
WHIN the potato tops die the
potatoes are ripe and should lie dug
at once. The fall rains will soon set
in, and when the ground is damp the
labor of digging is greatly increased,
as the wet soil adheres closely to the
tubers. Kvery farmer knows this,
but many may not think of it in time.
An additional reason for early dig
ging is that leaving potatoes in the
damp soil after they have matured is
more conducive to rot than any other
one thing.
THE "latest thing" in patents which
has come under our observation is
that of an Illinois nurseryman who
claims to have patented a new variety
of cherries, and advertises his trees
at fifty cents each. We don't want
any. Next thing we'd know, some
other specimen of the tree agent tribe
would come along and prosecute us
for an "infringement." Patent cl*r
ries, indeed! Now let some other
lout take out a patent on air, and
then tramp around among the farin

At this writing, September
weather continues cold and dry, very
similar to that of last "seeding time," '
and in all resects unfavorable to the
germination of the thousands of bush- j
els of wheat which Centre county
farmers have committed to the care j
ol Mother Karth. The ground is
excessively dry, and the prospects for
a good stand of wheat are by no
means encouraging. However, croak
ing does no good. "All's well that
ends well," and we have the promise
that he who sows "shall surely reap."
Head "Never Despair" in another

HEADERS of the DEMOCRAT arc
aware that it has been a constant and
earnest advocate of the doctrine that
"like begets like," and lias, therefore,
nlways urged the great importance of
pure, clean, well-selected seed of nil
kinds. Last week we were called
upon to show our "faith by our
works" in the matter of a bushel of
choice seed wheat, of a new nnd very
promising variety, which hail, through
carelessness, become badly fouled
with cockle. Calling to our aid the
ladies and children of the household,
and even a "stranger" or two who
happened to be "within our gates,"
we spent an evening in hand-picking
it, and hail the satisfaction of sowing
. at least one bushel of seed as free
from cockle as though no such pestif
erous weed existed. This matter of
good, pure, clean seed is of para
mount importance to every farmer,
and just now is a good time to think
of seed corn for next year's planting,
it is a good plan to grow our seed
corn on a special lot, and with special
care, but as this has not been done,
the liest thing now to do is to care
fully select the bent ears, from the
liest stalks in the. field, and give them
such care as will secure their thor
ough drying, that the germ may not
be frozen during the severe weather.
Select hall' a dozen upecially good
cars—the. topmost ones ftoiu stalks
Inuring two ears—and next spring
plant the corn from these in the rich
est corner of your (lcld; give it u
little extra manure, and a good deal
of extra care—keeping it perfectly
clean of weeds—and grow but two
stalks to tliu hill, with hills at least
four feet apart, and from this take
your seed for the following year,
reserving the hnlf-dozen best ears for
a similar experiment. Continue this
for five years, and our word for it,
you will have the whole neighborhood
running to you for "some of that
Hplcndid seed corn of yours," and
willing to pay you double price for it.
Mn. F. A. DUDLEY, of the Michigan
Agricultural College, in a letter to
the Ilurnl New Yorker, on the subject
of subsoiling, commends the practice
highly, and suggests the latter part of
summer and fall as the liest lime for
doing it. "Where the ground is dry,
it will do much better work than in
the spring, and the effect will lie more
lasting." Mr. (iulley's chief trouble
seems to be in getting a plow that
does its work well, and wears well.
We have experienced this same diffi
culty, and finally overcame it, by
casting aside all so-called subsoiiers,
and adopting for this purpose the
ditching plow described and illustrat
ed on page 138 of Thomas' "Farm
Implements and Machinery," and
manufactured by K. 11. Allen V <'o.,
of New York. This makes the last
subsoilcr wi-lhavecvcr seen: does its
work cffcctuWy, is of light draft—
taking into the amount
of work done—wears well, and is
very convenient to work with.
WITH the close of "seeding" we are
apt to consider the heavy "fall work"
as done, ami put away the plows and
harrows for next year's work. It is
well to cWnsider whether we cannot
do some of next spring's work now,

"Tiy; FENCE QUESTION," in all its
forms and nil its bearings, is more
thoroughly discussed and agitated
than perhaps any other pertaining to
the farm. We presume no Rnc will
contrndict the statement that fences,
at their very best, arc one of the most
grievous evils which afflict the farm
ing community, but all will admit
that the evil, in some form, and to
some extent, is necessary, and must
be borne. To mitigate this evil, by
reducing the cost and increasing the
permanency of fencing material, is
an object which has occupied the
thoughts and attention of some of
our first inventors, and its attainment
is worthy the best efforts of our liest
thinkers. Stops arc constantly being
made in this direction, amt successes
of greater or less degree nrc crowning
the efforts of inventors. Our atten
tion has very recently lieen called to
a new fenco post or standard, which
in our estimation, promises to go a
great way toward the solution of the
rpiestion"Wherewithal shall we fence
our farms?" The immature condi
tion of business arrangements con
nected with its manufacture njll pre
vent us from giving n detailed de
scription of it now, but in the near
future we hope to be able to s|>eak of
it as an accomplished fact, and suc
cessful business enterprise. It is
sufficient for the present to say that
the post is coOstructed wholly of iron,
treated in such away as to secure
the maximum degree of strength and
durability at the minimum coat of
labor and material; that it can IK;
used with equal facility lor either
permanent or portable fence, and that
it is perfectly adapted to the use of
either wire or wooden rails. 4n brief,
after the careful examination of this
new post which we have been privi
leged to tuake, we think the iuventor
may safely cjry "Eureka," and lielievc
that an entire revolution in fencing
and fences will soon he inaugurated,
which will prove an immense relief to
the burden which farmers and ail
land-owners are now compelled to
hear.
As A general rule it is better to
avoid pasturing meadows, after tlif
growth has ceased for the season.
Hut there are exceptions to this rule,
there being some cases in which we
would pasture as closely as possible.
Where the soil is rich, and the after
math heavy, there may he a mass of
dried dead stuff in the bottom next
year, which will interfere much witli,
the mowing, unless it is pastured
down now. In this ease we would
pasture the meadow closely, and give
some tO|Mlressing, if necessary, tak
ing care to spread the dtoppings of
the stock evenly. Again, strong hut
t'tin clover and grass meadows will be
benefited by close pasturing, by which
the stubble will he eaten off, the
coarse growth rendered finer and
closer, and the yield of next season
be improved in quality. A moderate
top-dressing of the manure w ill he of
more value than all the stubby after
math.
Soiling Cattle.
This means nothing more nor less
than carrying the green feed of sum
mer to the cattle in the barn or shed,
instead of driving the cattle to the
feed in the field. That this w ill ulti
mately Income the practice of all
good farmers we firmly believe. The
advantages of the system arc thus
presented by the Connecticut farmer:
There i* no doubt but the system of
soiling rattle ought to be practiced on
many of our farm*, and could be done
t i immense advantage, 'l ake an ordin
ary farm of *av one hundred acre*,
which keep* filteeti to twenty head of
cow*, it by more thorough cultivation,
and soiling, the Mine number could b*
kept on fifty acre*, with the increase in
tho quantity of manure that would
come from that system when properly
managed, would not the profit be double
what it i* now? And then by constant
enrichment, if that fifty acre farm could
Im* divided again and twenty five be
made to keep the same amount id stock
that the one hundred formerly did, it is
easy to see what a vast increase there
would be in the actual profit. It iatrue
that on some of our rough, rocky farms,
that exist in portions of the State, the
old pasture may still be worth more as
a pasture than for any other purpose,
even though they do have the sheep's
noses to grind; but wo know of pas
ture* that are a* smooth and free from
stone, as any portion of the farm, nnd
the land a* capable of producing any
kind of crop.
I* it not nn actual, and u*eles* waste
to give these acres up to the range of
stock year after year? The urine is all
wasted, and the more solid portion* of
the manure almost e pially so. And
there are portion* of the summer at
least when the cow* will gt but a scan
ty subsistence, and the flow of milk will
t*> reduced to almost nothing, lly a
judiciou* system of soiling, those pas
ture* could lie made to produce twice
the amount, or more of feed, in a season
that they now do, and of a quality
which for milk production is no doubt
double in value. Rye, clover, oat*, peas,
Hungarian, sorghum and corn, may fol
low in succession, all through the sea
son. If cool open shed* are provided
w# think the cows are as well off, and
oa contented as if they had the range of
the pasture all the while. They should
have nn opjortunity to exercise in an
open lot or yard occasionally. Hut it ia
the nature of cows, when they have
eaten n sufficient quantity to satisfy
themselves, to remain quiet and chew
the cud. Why could not thia be done
in open shed* a* well as under the tree*
of the pasture? Give a roomy stall with
plenty to eat, and good water to drink,
and the cow is in perfect contentment.
We believe the milk would be better
than when the cow's blood is heated by
constant (ceding in the sun, and by be
ing driven home from |>asture, and not
always in the gentlest way.
The argument* in favor of soiling may
be briefly summed up ss follows ; More
than double the amount of #t~ck on the
same number of acres, or half the num
ber of acres for the same amount of
stock, less expense in fencing pastures,
more than double tbe quantity of ma
nure, and a large increase in the average
flow of milk tfirough the season, flood
cow* will pay only as they are well kept.
And we believe ex|ierimenta will prove
that soiling is the system of the present
as well as future agriculture.
Flow up two or three or more acre* of
the pasture lot this fall and enrich a
part of it with some kind of fertilizer
tor a crop of rye next spring, on anoth
er part put oats, double the quantity of
seed that you would put fur harvesting
the same, and on the remainder corn
for balder. Try the plan of toiling care
fully at first, and we think it wul not
be abandoned, but increased to a large
extent, and that experiment will fully
demonstrate that the same number of
animal* may be maintained by soiling,
in equally good or belter condition, on
leas than half the quantity of land that
is required to *up|iort them in pasture.

Wood Ashes as a Fertiliser.
The great importance of agricul
ture in the world'h economy is in no
way more forcibly illustrated than
by the increasing attention given to
matters which pertain to it, by |eri
odicalsof the highest order,even dis
tinctively literary or scientific. We
transfer the larger portion of an ar
ticle with the alarve caption from the
columns of the Scientific American,
to our own, and with the greater
pleasure because the iScientific is al
ways exact:
How I Ik-*1 utilize that big heap
of oidie* out by the wixxl pile ? TJii*
i* a question which c have no doubt
tlint hundred* of the fiiiii- odd thou*
and* of Urtitcr* who read this paper
have suggested to themselves, now that
the milder weather render* dralt* on
the wood pile !** freipient. In nine
cooes out of ten, we wager that the
speaker'* excellent spouse immediately
remark* that *he i alioot to sell them
to the *oap maker: and the money?
well, that i her perquisite, and it would
be very ungallant on our part to ven
ture a suspicion a* to it* outlay. Still,
we dislike to *ee these ashes go to the
soap boiler, and perhaps a word a* to
their value to our tanner friend may
cau*e him to think a* we do; so with a
word of ajmlogy to loth niadanie and
tho *onp man lor our unwarrantable in
terference with their little traffic, we
venture to suggest that those ashes are
very much more valuable as fertilizer
than for lye.
We suppose that every agriculturist
in iw-a-das s ho* some general idea of the
principle of restitution; that is to say,
the element* neceaaary to the growth
of vegetable* must le replaced ; and if
they are not, the crop either faila ut
terly, or at best is deficient in health
and growth. The amount of these ele
ments, phosphorus, blue. tMitosh, and
several others, to be replaced varies ao
•nrding to the vegetable* cultivated.
Thu* a |>otato crop fiom seven and a
half acres of land takes away the need
constituents of four wheat crop*, le
--sides aiiout 600 |iound of potash. The
average turnip produce of- the aatne
area removes the seed constituent* of
fous wheat cro|i* and about I,INN) pound*
of potash. Nmilarly also grapes, clov
er, pods, tieans, lucerne, and nearly all
leguminous vegetables remove potash
in immense quantities. Hi* evident
that in such casi-s potash i* the mater
ial which the land most requires to pro
duce a new crop. To buy |>otash and
add it to the soil would !>e expensive;
true, it may he procured in combination
with other substance* in varioua fertil
izers, but there i* a much simpler
source for it. nnd that source is the ash
heaf, which otherwise the soap man pur
chase*.
Professor Storer, whose recent paper
on the fertilizing properties of wood
ahe we find in the /lu/ffli* of the Rua
*ey Institution, give# the latest informa
tion on the value of this most useful
material, lie saya that the analysia of
thirteen samples of house ashes show*
a range of from 6 to 10.8 per cent, of
potash, and from 0.4 to 4.6 per cent, of
phosphoric acid. The lowest per cent
ages of potash. 6 to 6.5, were from ash
es of a mixture of maple, oak, and
white pine wood, collected by a soap
boiler in a country village. The highest
percentages, 10 to 10.8, were in asbe* of
mixed beech, birch and maple in one
case, and in those of pitch pine in the
other. Kight of the sample* ranged, a*
to potash, from 7.4 to 9.5, the average
of them, as well as that of all the thir
teen samples, being about 8J per cent.
This, it must be borne in mind, ia tbe
proportion of the chemist's potash and
corresponds to about 10J per cent, of
the potash of commerce. Ihe material
is a useful dressing for the ground about
orchard trees, as it not only improves
the soil, hut prevents in considerable
degree the inroads of insects in the
roots and bark.
It only remains for us to show that
there i* not merely a loss to the land
affected, but that a direct expenditure
of money is the result of using ashes in
a manner otherwise than we have
pointed out. In order to thrive, the
farmer muat keep his land in producing
condition, and, as we have already re
marked, to soils which require potash,
potash must be returned. Potash ia
worth about six cents a pound, and
idiosphorio acid is sold in the New
York markets for about 12} oenU for
the same quantity. A bairel of wood
a*hes is bought by the soap maker for
say twenty-two cents, and it weighs 125
pounds. These ashes contain on an
average, as we have already shown, 8
Cr rent., or 10 pounds of potash, and
i >ie* include two per oent., or two
and a half pounds of phosphoric acid.l

According to the above price*, the tota
value of these substance* i* 91 cent*,
and therefore a barrel of asbe* i* intrin
sically worth a* a fertilizer nearly five
times the amount for which it can be
sold tothcKoup manufacturer.
"Ashe*," say* the The Hum' Mew
Yutker, "contain essential component*
of all crop*. They should not be mix
ed with compost (there is no gain in
HO mixing them) but applied broadcast
directly to tbe soil, whether it i* grass
or arable land. We never knew a farm
er who could get more ashes than it
was profitable to apply to hi* land. One
hundred bushels per acre i* not too
much to apply to old cultivated land".
Especially are a*he* excellent for or
chard*. They hou!d not he heaped
right about the bodies of the trees, but
spread over the roots, which extend a*
far from the bodies of the tree* an the
branches do. Ashe* are especially val
uable a- top dressing on old gra** lands,
or on land* cropped with grain, For
root crops they are equally important;
indeed, a* we *ny above, there i* no
crop grown and no land cultivated that
i not benefited in a greater or less de
gree by tho application of leached or
unleached a*lie, the latter being the
more valuable.'*
Mot former* still sell wood in the
cities and village* ; and rather than go
home empty, they should carry back
ashes and other fertilizers to replace the
potash, lime and phosphoric acid that
have been carried off in tbe crops and
animal* sold. A alios show immediate
effect from their application, and at the
same time last long in the soil.
How the Stock on the Farm war be Ira
proved.
We copy the following true and
pertinent remarks upon this subject
froin the Lire Stuck Journal , aa lioing
apropos to fair week. Iloubllcu, there
will be,u usual, good animals on the
ground for sale, and no better invest'
ment can le made by a farmer, or
company of farmers, than to purchaae
some of them:
rnqiiestionsbly the most profitable
course for the general farmer to adopt
in improving the quality of hi* live stock,
i* to begin by the purchase of final-class
thoroughbred male*. The calve* got bv
a thoroughbred bull of any of the well
established bres'd*, out of a mixes! aver
age lot of cows, will invariably j*>***•
much of the excellence of the thorough
bred sire, and the female* of these half
blood* again, bred to a thoroughbred
sire, will produce animal*, for all prac
tical purposes except that of procreation,
quite equal to the average thoroughbred.
The same is true of sheep, swine, poul
try, and, in fart, of all kinds of farm
stock. Ily procuring thoroughbred
male* of the purest lineage, and of great
individual merit, and carefully selecting
the lost of the female produce for
breeders, using thoroughbred male*
only, for three or four generation*, the
farmer may engraft effectually all the
excellence of the thoroughbred atock
upon his flock* and herd*.
In these time* of low price# and
active competition, the man who ba
the best stock, and who practice* the
most economical method* of feeding if
the man who will make the money,
while all other# will find the balance on
tbe wrong side of the ledger.
And while on this subject, it may not
be out of place to direct attention to
the fact that good care and liberal feed
ing cut quite a figure in the economy of
stock raising. The very best breed will
not show any marked suteriorily over
native atock if left entirely to shifl for
itself in the hand* ot the average farm
er, but the improver! breeds do furnish
the means by which more pound# of
beet, or milk, or butter, or wool, or
muttin, or pork, or lard, and of a better
quality, can be produced from a given
quantity of food, than from unimproved
stock.
Labor and Capital Make Land Profitable.
Tmm tW Connwtirhl F*rtnv,
One great reason that many farm
er# are loth to try the exjieriment of
(toiling is the extra amount of labor
that it will bring. Hut they should
remember that it is labor, and that
only, that makes the farm pay at all.
What If it does take an extra hand ?
Land, indeed, is only valuable ss it
affords an opportunity to apply la
bor. Without lalor and capital
land will yield no profit; and just in
proportion as labor and capital are
judiciously expended upon it, can
land be made to pay.
Onr of the plainest indications of
unsuccessful farming is to ace ma
nure going to waste or unemployed.
When this is seen there is no need of
looking beyond the stable and yards
to find out the condition of the farm,
or to judge of the success of its own
er.
Wr think a little management
would enable many of our farmers to
decrease their fences fkalljr twenty per
cent.
