Every farmer in Air annual e.r/>erienef
discovert something of value. Write it ami
f arm/ it to the " Agricultural Editor of the
DKMDI RAT, Jtellefonte, I'enn'u," that other
farmers may have the benefit of it. Let
communications be timely, and be sure that
they are brief and well pointed.
ONE of the plainest indications of
unsuccessful farming is to sec manure
going to waste or unemployed. \V hen
this is seen there is no need looking
licyoml the stables and 3'nrds to find
out the condition of the farm or to
judge of the success of its owner.
DON'T sell or give awa)- tho old
1 tones. Gather them up, break them
up in pieces, pack them in old barrels
with unleaehed wood ashes. In the
spring work thetn over, and you will
have a ton or so of "bone dust," ful
ly as pure and valuable as that which
the agents speculate in.
THE potato crop is a full one, and
is being sold at low rates. We l>o
licvc it will pay to "sort" carefully,
make pork of the unsaleable ones,!
and try to keep the best over for the
spring market. A little extra care
and attention will insure their keep
ing and the price will be doubled be
fore June.
WE hear reports from all directions
of a fairly good crop of clovcrseed. j
This is encouraging. This is one of
the crops that can be sold from a
farm without any* disadvantage, and
no farm can grow it without being
improved thereby. Don't sell it all,
though reserve enough for a plentiful
sending next spring.
THE Scientific American Supplement I
for the present week contains two
leading articles of interest to the
agricultural World; one on "Exotic
Insects" and the other entitled "Notes
on Tobacco." This last is particu
larty* full and interesting' and should
command all the more attention from
Centre count} - farmers because of the
impulse given to the growth of "the
weed" among us written a year or
two.
AT one of the county fairs in Con
week, the "Green's
Farm Clnb*lto(>wed a train of thirty
pairs of working VA.cn. Wc do not
want to be accused o?
backward," nevertheless wctW of
opinion that oxen might lie used
great advantage on many of the farms
in Centre count} - . With liberal feed
ing a pair of cattle will do an immense
amount of work during the summer,
and come out splendid beef in the
fall.
WEKI>S, only weeds, and weeds
continually seem to lie the order of
the day. During the early summer
wc manage to keep them down pretty
well, but as the season passes on
somehow or other wc seem to relax
our vigilance, or weary of the fight,
and over all sides wc find them now
going to seed. Fence corners arc
full of them, potato and cornfields
are overrun with them, and in every
highway and byway they arc ripening
a great crop of trouble and work for
us for future years. Do not give up
to them. Smite them right and left.
Assault them in season and out of
season, keep them from going to
seed if possible. The ground is full
of their seeds now, enough to keep
us iu full employment for years to
come, without permitting any more
to accummulate. "If none arc al
lowed to go to seed the supply will
soon be exhausted, and the work of
exterminating them yearly lessened."
Too Mnch Land.
Kitm tit* M'.llily Jonraal 4 Agrirnltarr.
One of the greatest errors commit
ted by many farmers in the tobacco
growing counties of Virginia is that of
owning and cultivating *OO much land.
More of the intensive and leas of the ex
tensive system of farming would be far
better.
To which wc have little to add ex
cepting to localize it, and make it ap
ply to Centre county farming as well
as it does to the Virginia tobacco
raisers. A decrease of the number of
acres farmed, and an increase of the
labor, manure and care bestowed up
• on those we do farm would be a long
step In advance for Centre connty
farming.
Getting; Along with Work.
N. RIMHI 111 Country (Jentluimn.
Ens. COUNTRY (JK.NTI.EMAN— Tho
Bkillftil direction or inbor in HO essen
tial to successful farming, that a few
notes on the subject may la; of value,
for the younger men need "line upon
line." The first essential is that there
be labor enough—that is, let there be
men enough employed to do all the
work that is laid out, in season and
in a proper manner. It is taken for
granted that none is laid out which is
not profitable. If the labor cannot
be done in season, and in a proper
manner, It should not be attempted,
"lletter late than never" is a perni
cious saying, and is not true on the
farm. It is better to hire by the
month than by the day, if there is
the expectation of needing the man
nearly all the time. The wages are
less, and it is better to have the man
ready at your hand all the time.
When the day laborer fails to come
in the morning because "it looks like
rain," his help may be needed before
night, at a loss of twice the amount
of wages, if the regular work is in
terrupted by the weather or any oth
er cause, there is an odd job ready,
unless the farm is in a condition very
unlike anything generally seen. If
there is no fence to l>e repaired, no
farm road to be improved, no weeds \
or bushes to be cut, no garden work \
to Ite done, no tools to lie mended,
' no stables to be white-washed, no out-
Ibuildidgs to be cleaned, no carriages
to wash, then that farm is one which
I should like to see. It is a serious j
mistake to suppose that only the reg
ular work of the farm will warrant
the wages of a hired man, and that j
odd jobs may be done or left undone
till the regular work is finished, it 4
is easy to show incidental
items of farm the cost
of la!>or required by tm>m. There is
a patch of weeds whidh you intend
ed should he cut soujh leisure day,
but your day labortf went fishing,
and the weeds arc 110U cut. It would
have been better to IJavc given $2 a
day than to have then left. Can any
careful farmer walk over his farm
and find anything which needs to be
done without much delay?
Second, let there be a prudent
planning what is to be done—the la
bor required, the time needed, and
the order in wliich the work is to Is
done. It is n(common mistake in
young farmers mot to make sufficient
allowance for Hindrances for work,
which are nearly, certain to come.
My wise instructor used to admonish
me to "have plenty of leeway that
is, to have room for.'some unforeseen
hindrances. In ti l third place, you
should make prftarationa. Half
the laf)or seems t<£ be saved some-.
times by having Everything ready
when the work is (commenced. In
the fourth place, yoii should antici
pate the work ; Ik- n little ahead w itli
it. It is a rare achievement to be al
ways up to tune. Mtfst of the busi
ness of the world dragw a little lie
bind. In order to liessuek e of the ac
complishment of any ini/ortant work
in due season, some paw 0 f it j na y
done a day in advance. If it is
wort; which mav require v.xtrn help,
do not Kit till it gets fciHimd and
licgius to i.w' J'""
crease your coinc
in as near the lieginningw the jolt
as possible. It is much easier and
cheaper to drive than to la) driven. ■
With many farmers the worlf4-s n lit-1
tie more than they calculated, and
the time for it a little less,
have all the time there is, atv.l'
dent man will match his work to the
time.
"One thing at a time" is a good
rule, but it has its exceptions some-1
times on the farm. Two things may
need to lie done at once, and it is of
ten fa tter to increase the force than
let one of the crops wait a loss. If
the com is late, and the grass early
and ready to be cut, it would be good
economy to have force enough for
both than that one should be too late
or%iot well done.
The manager of a large farm should
not try to do too much with his own
hands. He may exhaust in exces
sive physical lala>r that mental force
which is necessary to the energetic
management of his business. Hut
he must choose the time wisely when
to take his hand out of the work. It
must be when all his men arc at some
task which does not require showing
how, and not on 0 broken day when
they do not know what to do. If
there arc two men or more, one of
them should lie foreman, and be re
s|K>nsible for the work, and account
to the owner nt the end of the day.
It will not do to . have the responsi
bility divided lictween two or more.
And in the minor duties some one
should be held responsible. For ex
ample, it should lie the business of
some one, and that one not the small
est boy, to see that drinking water is
properly provided. Those old max
ims : "a place for everything and
everything in its place," Ac., it is
not necassary to rc|>eat. If tle
young man has not (lrat learned them
by heart he cannot be successful in
, farming or in anything else. Labor
is the first thing on the farm, the
source of all the profit; and it is the
costliest thing, and on the mnnngc
ment of it depends the profit or loss.
On almost almost all farms the labor
might be profitably increased if well
directed.
The Practice of Tall Plowing.
Intelligent cultivators generally
agree that fall plowing iH of the ut
inoHt service to the soil. Many con
sider it equal to a dressing of ma
nure, inasmuch as it places the
ground in condition to assimilate nil
the fertilizing properties of mineral
and atmospheric plant-food. Solu
ble matters which have leached down
too fur for the feeders to reach are
also brought to the surface by the
turning over of land. Weeds, grass
and the stubble of gathered crops
are covered in the soil, where they
will undergo decomposition and be
in the right place for the rootlets to
feed upon when the crops start.
Disintegration is 0110 of the great
secrets of the beneficial effects from
fall plowing. Its action is both me
chanical and chemical. Land when
broken by the plow holds a greater
per ccntage of water. It freezes
when in this wet state, then it thaws
and the disintegration is complete, j
All moisture received on the surface
filters through the pulverized earth
evenly, and in consequence the run- j
initial properties in the water reach |
every particle of the soil, and are re
tained.
Another advantage of ploughing i
is the much greater surface of soil
exposed. Compact ground presents
but one surface to the air, while that
which is well broken exposes nearly j
every side of every particle of soil as j
deep as the tilth goes. The tilth is
also deepened, and clay subsoil
thrown on top becomes subject to at- ,
inosplieric actions, which prepares it
for an} - solvents that may lie applied.
Durability of Manure.
C K llrn. 11l Country G. ntli-mui.
Let me state a ease showing the
durability or manure when well
plowed in. Several years ago, two !
friends of mine named Curtis, resid
ing in Kgremont, Mass., were engag
ed in distilling, and also In carrying
011 fanning. After continuing in
business together many years, they
dissolved partnership, one taking the i
distillery and the other the farm. j
Long after this, calling ti|on the
farmer 10 pass the night, and follow
ing him to a small horse stable, I
found it well stored with a very fine
quality of hay, speaking of which,
lie asked tnc to give my judgement
of the quantity, which I put at
twenty tons. In reply, he said, "we
called it eighteen when we put it in,
and we sold 2,fi00 lbs., and have left
a half acre for seed, and it is all the
product of ten ai res, which most
men would say would not produce
white lieans, and not a spoonful of '■
manure of any kind has la-en put 011
it in ten years." Expressing a de
sire to sea- the ground, we went to it
and I found it to lie chiefly a knoll of
coarse gravel and sand, and in an
swer to my request to explain to me
how he had made such ground so
productive, he said, "ten years ago ,
last spring my brother and myself;
dissolved our partnership, he taking !
the distillery and i the farm. J're- <
vioun to this, while running the farm i
together, c applied manure taken ;
from the distillery very plentifully to
this piece of ground, and plowed it
Warn deep, continuing this process
until it was thoroughly filled with
manure. When the farm came into
103- possession, I kept this piece nn- j
der the plow three years, taking of a
premium crop every year. At the
end of three years I seeded it down,
and it has been in meadow ever since,
not having, as I have said, a spoon
ful of any kind of manure put upon
it during the time I have been the
sole owner of it." I confess the
story astonished me at the time,
though I had no doubt of the veraci
ty of Mr. Curtis, and my own ex
periments since made have entirety
relieved inc of all nstonisliment.
The War with Weedi.
J Fr*n Ibf Farmer'# Frin*l.
Agriculture is a perjictual conflict
| with aggressive plants; a conflict
. which must ever constitute n mate
rial part of the labor necessary to lie
expended in a well conducted farm.
It is therefore necessary, with a view
j to the economy as well as the final
success of the operation, that such
labor should be wisety- directed.
Here, as elsewhere, knowledge is
j jKiwer. A knowledge of the general
nature and the peculiar habits of the
plant to Is; operated on ia indispen
sable to direct the operator bow pro|t
crly to adapt the means nt hin dispo
sal to the intended purpose. All
plants become weeds, in nil agricul
tural aenso, when found growing
where they deteriorate the crops,
needlessly exhaust the soil, or other
wise bring loss to the agriculturist.
Every plant out of place is a weed.
AoaiCULTURK is called the God
like profession. Horticulture is the
refinement of agriculture; floricul
ture is the poetry of horticulture.
It is a trinity that he who can write
himself na nn adept in, need not fear
but that he will be considered the
peer, in culture, intelligence and
practical acquirements, of any on
earth, whatever his dreas or his sta
tation in life may be.
Leaf mold is exceedingly valuable
in ammonia, phosphoric acid am]
potash, and forms when composted
a rich manure.
Salt for Fruit Treo.
From Iform* and Farm.
In the nbscncc of the mineral fer
tilize™, Huch aw wood un<l coal ashes,
refuse lime and spent mortar, tbe re
mains of old walls and torn down
buildings, bone duwt, superphosphate
of lime and tbe like, common Halt
will be found un excellent applica
tion for fruit trees. If tbe soil is
tbin and poor, it will not bear as
heavy an application as if deep and
rich, nnd therefore suit should be
used liberally or cautiously, accord
ing as it iH applied to one or the
other.
Salt is not only one of tbe most
soluble of substances, but it is also
a powerful solvent of minerals, inas
much as the chlorine hns such a range
of strong affinities that it releases,
and renders solvent, insoluble matter
in tbe soil that, before its applica
tion was not a plant food in an avail
able form. It may be sown broad
cast under trees as far out as tbe
limbs extend, to the extent of one or
two bushels per tree of thirty feet
spread of limb on rich soils, and a
half or a third that quantity on poor,
thin and sandy soils, with tbe certain
ty that it will not only induce fruit
fulness, but materially aid in the de
struction of fruit destroying insects,
which seek and nre protected by the
earth during the winter season.
Plowing Down vs. Top Dressing.
NV .i n. ifuN rUln in Country Gentleman.
Last year 1 plowed in my manure,
well rotted, in August for wheat, ex
cept two lands, of about an acre,
where the same quantity per acre was
used as top dressing and thoroughly
harrowed in before tbe wheat was
drilled. The wheat was far the ls-st
where the manure was plowed in.
The drill put the wheat down proba
bly three or four inches ielow the
general level of lite surface as tin;
ground was very mellow, and proba
bly two inches below lire bottom of
the grooves left by the drill, so that
the roots immediately struck for the
manure. ISut where it was top dress
ed, most of the manure lay nbove the
wheat, ami the roots did not touch it
at first; nnd as there was no rain for
nearly three weeks after sowing, and
the sow ing was late, (Sept. 2.5,) this
top dressed wheat did not get so
thrifty a growth Irefore w inter set in,
and of course did not give so good a
yield. The field was not stocked
down, but on the top dressed part
there was a heavy catch of ( lover and
grass and rubbish, and on the other
part almost none. So then (on my
clay soil at least), if I want tohe it, 1
shall plow in the manure or apply it
with a previous crop; if I want grass
I shall top-dress for the wheat. If
the wheat were to Is: sowed broadcast
and harrowed in, top-dressing would
Itc better, as the kernels would not lie
more than an inch deep, and would
reach the manure sooner, and it
would act as a kind of mulch to pro
tect tnc shallow seed
How to Train Tomatoes.
rem Ik. Rural N Yrv.f
Wc have tried an experiment to
ascertain how tall a tomato plant
icon ld grow if carefully trained and
pinched Imck. Three plants were set
against the barn and the steins were
bflld bv leathers tacked over them as
their growth rendered support neces
sary. As we write (Sept. . r >,) these
vines are 12 feet high—well londi-d
with golden, crimson and green fruit.
The idea is a good one and we can
| tell our friends that if they have old
trees, fences, outbuildings or ouV-of
-1 tbe-way corners thai they propose to
cover with vines, let them l>c tomato
vines.
High Manuring for Hay.
Fmm lh PmrUrtl farmer.
A farmer in Connecticut made n
purchase of a quantity of manure
frotn a hotel stable, paying for it
seven tons of hay ; this was all ap
plied to two acres of land in the ex
pectancy of planting a crop of to
bacco ; a change of plans resetted in
the plowing of tbe isnd and seeding
down in the fall, and the first suc
ceeding crop returned to him his sev
en tons of hay, and lias produced
enormous crops since.
Fanner's Must Think.
CVif. of Connecticut Farmer.
Agricultural fairs, farmer's chilis,
agricultural colleges, granges, and
es|ecially agricultural pa|n-rs, are
diffusing so much light and awaken
ing so much thought, that farmers
must liecome thinkers or fall behind
the age.
Tiffc big hog took the chair, and
when the barnyard was quiet be
asked, "Is there any business of im
|Krpncc before this souse f" And
then the long, lean, sandy pig nearest
the gate replied that "there was
nothing but routine business, he l>e
beved." Whereupon the convention
ndjoumed and went around the farm,
trying to get at the Ixittom of things
On every farm—this year especial
ly—a weed crop of tons in quantity
may be found, which will, If cut, and
thrown into the barnyard, where the
cattte will tramp them, liecome val
