Every farmer in hit annual erperxenee
discovert something of ralne. Write it anil
send it to the "Agricultural Editor of the
DEMOCRAT, Uellrfonte, Venn'a," that other
farmers may have the benefit of it. .Let
communications he timely, and he sure that
they are brief and icell pointed.
IT IS pleasant to know prices of
grain are once more up to figures
that are remunerative, but not exces
sive, thus benefitting the farmers
without lieing oppressive to other
classes of the community.
LOOK for liorers in your apple
trees. You will find the young ones
if you look sharp, and it is better to
get them out now, then to wait until
they have hail aw inter's growth, and
done a season's mischief.
GATHER the vines and stalks of
all sorts out of the garden and truck
patches and carry them to the barn
yard. They will add to the manure
pile, and the apjiearance of the
grounds during the winter and early
spring will Vic greatly improved. Of
course weeds which have been suf
fered to ripen seeds should be burned
on the ground.
THE nights are increasing in length
and cold, and the live stock of all
kinds need more and better attention.
Extra cover and feet! now will go
much further than in the spring, and
is more easily given. Don't wait to
liegin "feeding" until snojv flies. The
pastures are failing rapidly,and should
lie helped out by at least one daily
feed of hay, or at least, straw, and
a "lick" of bran and meal.
JAMAS VICK, in his Illustrated
Monthly , insists that among the dif
ferent sorts of asparagus, Conovcr's
eollossal is the best, and that the
best time to start a new bed is in the
fall, and, as usual, James Yick is
right. 11c ought to go a little fur
ther and insist that it is one of the
liest vegetables, in all particulars,
that is grown, and that any fanner
who neglects to have a bountiful sup
ply of it for bis table, fails to live
up to his privileges.
THE mild, warm October through
which we have just passed finished
conditions of weather peculiarly- fa
vorable to the depredations of the
Hessian fly, and we have noticed its
effects on many fields. We fear an
increased development of this plague
next spring. Keep an eye out for it,
and note whether the late sown fields
are as much affected as the early
sown. Bear in mind the circular of
the United States Entomological
Commission, published in our issue of
July 31, and send them the informa
tion asked for.
WE have often been asked, "Are
tbe Alderneys ('Jerseys' is the ac
cepted and better name) better milk
ers than our common cows?" For
answer to this, Mr. F. It. Starr, origi
nally a I'cnnsylvanian, but who now
owns and runs one of tiie finest dairy
farms in the country, away up in
Connecticut? states that his pure
Jersey cow "Filbert," whose weight
is only 1068 pounds, yielded in six
consecutive months, 6751. pounds
of milk. This amounts to consider
ably more than her own weight in
milk every month, and we should
say affords an affirmative answer to
the question.
THE poultry-buyer, or "huckster"
is abroad in the land just now in an
ticipation of Thanksgiving. Have
your surplus stock ready for him.
Jt is better to sell now than later. As
cheap as grain is, it is costly to fat
ten . poultry after cold weather sets
In. Before you sell any, however,
select a dozen or more of last year's
% bens, and the twenty or thirty pul
lets you intend to keep over, and let
them run, with partial feeds of grain
night and morning, while the c'ul
lings are shut up to fatten. Keep the
best —sell only the scrubs among tbe
pullets, ami all tbe roosters. Then
•end at once, to some reliable breed
er, and secure one or two coekerals
of whatever breed you may fancy,
and your cbicken stock for next year
, will lie improved far beyond your ex
pectations.
TREES can he obtained from the mir
aery this inonlli ai d healed in, to be
set out next spring.— Farm Journal.
Don't do It though! If you gel
tlieni now, —and we believe you
should, —set them out where they are
to grow, and lie done with it. Stake
them properly to keep the wind from
swaying them about, and they are
far more safe than if henlcd-in, and
then you arc that much ahead.
A LANCASTER county correspon
dent of the Grrmautown Ftlrtjruph
tells of an experiment in the spring
cultivation of wheat, and states that
the yield was not HO great per acre
as wheat planted and treated in the
usual way, and adds that the quality
of both grain and straw was inferior.
To this the AVie Kra replies: "This
is at variance with every ex|H-riment
we have ever heard of and seems to
hint at some radical mistake in the
system of cultivation practiced. The
correspondent intimates that some
thing in our climate may have influ
enced the result, but this position is
not tenable, for we have seen results
from spring cultivation in this coun
ty which were so decided and indis
putable as effectually to dispel any
such theory."
The Farmer a Power in the World.
Kx-Governor Seymour, as clear
headed a statesman and as honest a
man as lives, is president of the
State Agricultural Society of New-
York, and, in the course of his ad
dress at the late fair held at Utica,
makes the following allusion to the
future of American agriculture:
After a careful study 1 am satis
fied that American farmers can hold
the ground they have gained in the
markets of the world. ! have glanced
at the reasons for this faith. I would
not, however, have it thought that
there is not much to lie done on their
part to gain the victory. Honest in
dustry must still be applied. Intelli
gence and economy must In- exerted,
and a just pride felt in all that re
lates to their honorable pursuits.
Agriculture has always liecn known
as the basis of civilization, lint it
has rarely if ever happened in the
world's history that it has wrought
out such marked and rapid changes
in the credit and prosjierity of a gov
ernment as those which we now wit
ness in our land. It could never be
fore be said with even a show of
plausibility, as I now say in full faith,
that American farmers, tx-yond lift
ing up their government from its low
financial state, beyond giving food to
suffering classes in other lands, ex
ert a |mtcnt influence in the political
affairs of the civilized world.
Timely Notes for the Poultry Yard.
'> In Am*rVn Fmtm r.
Now is the time to look after the
winter quarters of your poultry
stock. Repair their houses, thor
oughly clean them out, give the in
terior a good sprinkling, after clean
-11117, with water strongly impregnated
with carbolic acid, so that .their
houses are made comfortable. The
cool night winds arc apt to give the
young stock cold if they rociA so to
tie subject to n draft,
duces that dread disease
jieor. Secure the young stock that
is in the bahit of roosting in the
trees and remove to their houses,
and feed for a day or two in that vi
cinity only, and they will soon learn
to go to their nnr roosting quarters.
He-select, and go over the entire
flock, cull ont those you will not
keep to breed from another season,
keep them by themselves, and dis
jiose of all the others as soon ns
| HISS i hie.
During cold rain storms and the
mornings after, season the mixed
food with a free sprinkling* of red
pepper ; a little in the drinking water
will also lie beneficial.
Late-hatched chicks now need
especial care; littoral feeding; wann
quarters at night. Feed grain as a
supper feed, and as late as they ran
see to pick it up. A t rarm brenkfa*t
early, and a dinner of vegetables,
Ac., cooked, mixed with meal, to
gether witli what they collect them
selves during the day, will cause the
late broods to astonish you with
their size by Christmas.
♦We interpret Mr. Brown's "free
sprinkling" to mean al>out the same
amount that would be applied in the
preparation of food for the human
stomach. A convenient way, and one
very acceptable to the fowls is to
boil a red pepper in a little water,
and put a little of this tincture cith
er in the food, or drinking water, or
lioth.— Ed. Democrat.']
TIICKF, is as much difference be
tween the eggs of fowls allowed to
roam and forage for themselves, and
those which are fed regularly on
good, nutritous food, as there is be
tween a leg of Southd jwn mutton
and that of common, half-starve I
sheep.
Production of Agriculture in the next
Uensus.
It is very rieairuhle tlmt the tenth
consus, to be taken in June of next
year, should give as nearly uh possi
blu a correct report of the agricul
tural productioiiH of this country,
and we are glad to notice that the
authorities having the matter In
charge, are taking proper measures
to secure this result. A very fruit
ful source of the inaccuracy of agri
cultural statistics is found in the in
ability of furmcs to give positive
and accurate answers to many of the
questions put to them, and this is
only because they have not taken the
precaution to prepare themselves in
advance. In order that farmers may
know what will be ex|h cted of them ,
a circular has liccn prepared, and is ,
now In ing circulated through the ag
ricultural journals, societies and
clubs. We have received a copy of
this circular from (Jeneral Walker,
superintendent of the census, and
herewith publish it entire, fur the in
formation of*our readers; and urge
upon them the importance of so pre
paring thetuslves that they may li
able to give prompt and accurate an
swers to the enumerator when he
shall call, which will Ik: some time
during the month of June next:
Tho agricultural schedule inncioil to the
Act of IH jO, which l* iiU<> nmd a part of
the Act of March IsTh, providing for
the T-nth (Ynu, requires a rojx'rt of the
ehiel production* of agriculture "during
the y ar ended June 1
Now, there i no distinct agricultural ;
year which end* on the *1 rat id June, and
there ia reason to tielieve that the >lalialic*
of Agriculture from IMb to IS7O, in re-
Card to many o( the principal products,
embraced porliona of two different croisi, :
inasmuch a- the enumeration wa> pro
tracted through three or (our, and e\en '

Ily the A< t approved Mr<li 3, IH7'., it
i* provided that the Tapth Census 'hail !•
taken and completed tluririg the month of
June, Ihsji '| hla provuiun greatly re
duce* the liability to error which ha* been
noted.
Ai the enumeration commences on the
flrel of June and c|oe on or before the
thirtieth, all the crop* which are gathered
once a year will fall pretty clearly on one
► i le or the other of the divaliriK line
Thu the cotton crop roixjrted in the
ceiiMi* will Im- that of IST'.i, gathered in '
the fall of that year ; while the Wool clip
or "wool crop wiil be that of ISsU—<■*.
c. pt in jiorti ui* "f California and Texas,
where both a fall and pring clip arc te
en rod.
For certain of the production* of agri
culture, however, there i* no harvest, in
the u*uai *en*o of that term ; hut the pro
duet i# gathered week by week, or day by
day, a* it mature* milk, butter, cheeae,
meat fall into thi* i lass.
in view ol the requirement* of the law,
and of the great importance <•( ac. urate
*tati*tical information relative to agricul
ture, it i deemed to lx> highly desirable
that farmer* *hou!d j repare themselves in
advance t- give tlio information with
promptness and accuracy. It i urgently
recommended, therefore, that agricultural
journal* and the officer* of agricultural
•ocietie* and club* give publicity to thi*
announcement, and that all p>-r*on* en

circular, or hall*en it in the public print*,

Winter Top Dressing for Wheat.
From lh* Farmer'* Frt4.
Top-dressing with mnnure is best
done during the winter, and we pre
fer to do it with sleds on the snow
rather than in the fall. Unless the
manure ia very line, and ia evenly
spread, it will cover up, injuriously,
much of the plant. When spread In
the winter, on the contrary, it acts as
it mulch and a protection while the
plant is dormant, and in the spring,
when sudden changes of tenqierature,
with nil that these imply, occur and
act destructively. Then, the cover
ing prevents thawing and freezing in
sudden changes, by which the roots
are broken and destroyed and the
surface is strewn with winter-killed
plants.
Beautify the Home.
from Vih'* Monthly Magarlns,
Not only the residents of towns
and villages may surround their
dwellings with la.-autiful trees and
shrubs, hut every farmer may so
adorn his home. The expense of
procuring and planting trees is very
little. A single acre of ground will
udmit of a Iseuutiful display, and the
same amount of land cannot be liet
ter disposed of, even in an economi
cal view of the case. The tlrst cost of
trees is hut little—even rare s|>eci
metiN are to Im! had at very moderate
prices, and the planting and care of
them will interest and attract every
member of the household, and forge
another link in the chain that binds
each one willingly to the old home.
