I trite it ami tend it to the "Agricultural Editor t>j the DKMOCHAT, Eellefonte, I'enn'a," that other farmera may have the benefit ot it. I.et communieationt be timely, ami be sure lhat they are brief and irell /minted. WK regret to learn that an epidem- i ic of some sort is prevailing among j the swine of Chester county. The papers from which we obtain this news do not give any idea of its character. AT a late meeting of the Fulton, Lancaster county, Farmer's Club, one of the questions discussed was "does lime pay ?" .Most of the mem- , lers agreed that lime had been use- , ful, but that the land was now so full of it that they were warranted in abandoning its use. Happy farmers! Tub attempt to organize a Nation al Agricultural Society to which we referred in our issue of the 30th ult., has erystali/.ed, anil a duly au thorized committee has issued an ad dress to the public, stating the aims of the society, and calling a conven tion of all. interested in the subject at the Metropolitan Hotel in New York on the loth of December. The address is largely signed by represen tative agriculturists and public men throughout the country. WE particularly request the at tention of all our readers interested in farming, and particularly young farmers to an article in another col umn on this page, under the head of "A Farmers' Lecture Course." The article is entirely self-explanatory, and we only refer to it here to give the scheme our hearty approval, and urge all who possibly can to avail themselves of this opportunity for improvement in their calling. We know of no other way in which the sajnc amount of information can IK so pleasantly and cheaply secured : and the authorities of the College arc entitled to hearty commendation for this effort to disseminate correct agricultural information. ROAST turkey, with cranberry saiHc, flunked by well-grown and handsomely blanched celery, is pretty good living, and we hope that every farmer's family to whom the DEMO CRAT makes its weekly visits will have just such a dinner to-day. No one lietter deserves it, and no one can more easily have it than the farmer. Not a farmer in Centre county but can have just such a dinner, and all of it home-grown except the cran lierries, ("and the sugar of which they require a good deal," says our "better half," who is peeping over our shoulder), provided he or his family will take a little pains and forethought to secure it. The farm ers of America are not only feeding all America but nearly all' Europe as well, and who should be 1 >etter fed than themselves? WE learn from the American Dai ryman that the International Dairy Eair to lie held in New York in De ccmlier, and of which wo made men tion a week or two ago, promises to lie an immense success. At the last regular meeting of the Executive committee the various sub-commit tocs reported good progress in all di rections. Special premiums are be ing offered in large numliers and on a very generous scale, by prominent business men, and will make the ag gregate of premiums to lie awarded at the fair very large. One house in New* York offers SSO for the licst lot of cheese made in the State of Ohioi a Montreal house offers $. r ill each for the best factory butter and cheese made in Canada, and salted with Kiggin's Eureka Halt; and a Chica go house offers six gold, six silver and six bronze medals as first, sec ond nnd third prizes for butter salted with thu same salt, made in the State of Illinois, Michigan, lowa, Minne sota, Nebraska and Wisconsin. The fair is to last two weeks, beginning the Bth proximo, and will doubtless contribute much toward advancing the dairy interests of the country. Just as we finish writing the above wc are in receipt, from Mr. Hals, the Secretary, of the prize list of the Nsi tiomil Kxliihitiou of Poultry to l>e held at Indianapolis in January, un der the auspices of the Indiana Poul try Association. The pamphlet it self is a iH'auty, and its contents a surprise to any who are not already j aware of the great importance the : poultry interests of the country have recently assumed. There are ino less than twenty classes, with very many sub divisions under each class. We have not time to foot up the premiums ottered, but they must run well up into the thousands of dollars. The first and largest one is a "special" of one hundred dollars j cash, offered by Stoddard, editor of our valued contemporary, the I'oul lr;/ World , for white Cochins, From this down to two dollars for cage of j white mice, everything imaginable in ' poultry or pets, is included. The I irrepressible Stoddard will lie on hand, and w ill publish a daily edition of one hundred thousand copies of, the Worhl , devoted exclusively to the great show and its interests. As illus trations of the rapidly increasing im portance of poultry and the dairy among the fanning interests of the country, these exhibitions are signifi cant. AT the late meeting of the Vir ginia State (Jrange, the Master, in I his annual address, insisted that the Department of Agriculture should be "dignified to a position in the Cabi net said of agricultural papers that "they have saved thousands of dol lars to the farmers ; but their influ ence for good is far greater in the educational feature than in the pe cuniary one," and suggested that "if farmers would devote more of their means to the education of their sons and daughters than to adding acres to their farms, they would have no reason to complain that all the exec utive and legislative positions of the country are filled by professional men." This is all very true, and very well put by Master Ilaylor: but with his sweeping denial that anything has ever been done for ag riculture; that "for this there has been no thought, no sympathy, no exer tion ; it has been suffered to languish from neglect by those whose duty it was to foster and encourage it," we cannot wholly agree. Master Ilay lor must be wilfully closing his eyes. FOR the necessarily limited space which we devote to agricultural sub jects, we cannot pretend to give even hints as to the work which needs at tention from week to week, nor do we think it advisable so to do. Just now, however, we want to call atten tion to two very important matters which our observation teaches arc too often neglected, viz; the timely and pro|>er care of farming imple ments, and the opening of surface drains on the w heat and clover fields. Even on the Is-st tools are sometimes dur>r-puny months, either left lying out where last used, or hnstily and carelessly thrown under the sheds without lie ing put in proper condition. Now is the time to gather them up, clean and oil them, and carefully put them out of harm's way for the winter. If they need repairs from ordinary wear and tear or breakages, these may le postponed until the stormy days of winter make indoor work particular ly desirable, but every day that any valuable implement is permitted to remain exposed to the deteriorating influences of the weather or the rav ages of rust consequent upon the filthiness of its condition, shortens its "life" more than the hardest day's work that can Ins exacted of it. (lather them up, clenu and oil, and put them away. It will /my b>tl> r than an invcefmrnt of their mine in government bond*. In the matter of draining a few hours or days can lie most profitably sjient in opening ways for the escape of water which will surely collect in the "low places" in the wheat fields Ixitwecn this and fair spring weather. Of course it would lie better to un derdrain, but this is expensive, and cannot always lie done, and the next thing is to "surface drain." With a team and plow, and one or two men with shovels, furrows can lie o|icned in a short time which will eirectually remove all surface water from places which would otherwise be "drowned out" during the coming wot times. The lalior and expense of plowing and seeding has already Ik-cii incur red, and it seems a pity thut acre alter acre of "well-set" grain should he rendered entirely unproductive for the want of n little udditionul time and labor. In this connection wo quote the following from the Attn riciin Agriculturist. Do not neg lect this matter; attend to it to-mor roir: "A simple protection for metal lic- surfaces, as of plows, and indeed of all other implements, tools and many household articles, is n mixture of say u pint of lard and a piece of tosin (resin) the size of an egg, melt ed with it. This supplies a sort of I cheap varnish that may Ik- ruhls-d on with a elotlc very thinly. The rosin will shut out air aud moisture-, and 1 keep the surface bright." Milk-Producing Feed. A correspondent of the St or I- Jour \ nut states that he is short of hay for his dairy, and can buy bran at sll per ton, ami corn meal at sls per ton, and asks from which he will get the best result in milk, proportioned to the cost. The reply of the Jour nal is full of instruction, in plain, well-chosen words, and w<- quote it entire for the benefit of tlu- many of our Centre county fanners who find themselves iu much the same situa tion as the Jnunml's correspondent: brail is peculiarly u milk producing food. It large percentage of albumin Olds supplies the casein 111 the milk all -I replaces th<- muscular wnteof the cow'* system. It has been determined, by numerous experiments, that the milch cow requires, fur H large yield of milk, a nitrogenous food, nii.-li m pea meat, oat, o,t meal, bran, g -oil clover hav. etc. Corn iiu-itl may be fed wall good clover bay, or with any of these intra geltous foods, I.ut it contain* !■* Inge A proportion of starch, or carbon, to lu ted largely by itself or wall poor bay, straw, etc. The following table gives the (ierinall analysis o( the digestible elements HI bran, corn meal, and clover bay ; Al' i.liille < . t| , oi u hj-Irtui.

The Hermans claim, in their experiment', to have de termined the preci-e pro|>or(ion digest ilde in most ot the feeding stull". Ibe values given are those ol the Herman standard, but in this countty can only be said to be th- proportional value. • 'nurse wheat bran is determined to be worth $1.04 to corn iiiea! $1 11 per bun dre<i pounds ; and as wheal bran has a nutritive ratio ol I to 3.'. and corn meal 1 to s.fi, showing how much more nitro genous the bran is, and, consequently, now much better Adapted to feeding tnilrh cows wah common bay or straw Put we should advise our correspondent to feed I lb. of corn meal to .1 lbs, of bran, which will give a mixture contain ing one ot nitrogenous to | . carbohy drate*— a well balanced food to add to hay or even straw, bran t* very rich tn the mineral elements ol food—rich in phosphate of lime and potash, to build and supply the waste of the lernes. It is not ill digestible, but this part goes to enrich the manure. It is found, where rows are fed bran on pas tine, that the pastures grow better year by year. The mineral constituents amount to nearly five times as much in bran as iu corn-meal. It is evident then that, at the prices mentioned by "••hto Farmer," bran is the cheapest food ; but as corn meal is richer in starch and fat, it is well to nux a small propor tion—say one fourth, as mentioned— and tin* esja-cially in winter, when car bnn is required to keep up animal heat, bran at sll per ton, is cheaper than hav ; and it is Iwtter to make up the deficiency in bran and corn meal, in the proportion given, than to buy hay ; be sides, you cannot get a good yield of milk in winter on hay alone. Feeding Troughs for Poultry. Frn tb<* American Pmllry YaH Feeding troughs for poultry, projt erly constructed, ought to IK- gener ally substituted for the wasteful prac tice of feeding from the ground. The "reasons why" arc obvious. Where there is a scramble for the food that is thrown helter-skelter the weak are prevented by the strong from getting their share until the latter are satis fied and the food is trampled in the dirt. It is no advantage to fowls to eat sand, dirt or gravel mixed with their food. The gravel nnd other indigestible substances necessary to the proper trituration of their food in the gizzard can be given separately, and should lie. A simple trough may lie made, defended by slats placed vertically or on n convenient angle, with spaces sufficient for the passage of the head, thus preventing the I trampling and soiling of the food, which will not be wasted, ns in the case where It Is thrown carelessly on the ground. This will answer for those who have but few fowls, nnd keep them in confined quarters, with food con stantly liefore them, but for the farm er, whose: fowls have n wide range, from which to secure the greater part of their living, it is sheer nonsense. Fowls n situated should never be fed enough to "satisfy" any of them, as the word is used by our esteemed contemporary, and there is no lictter way to give them what they should have tlinn to scatter it widely over a 1 closely eaten or mowed sot!. Fed it limited quantity in thin way, regu larly, night and morning, and com pelled to hunt and scratch through I tin- day for the remainder of their I living, the weak will get their full share as well as the strong, and all will do better than if the feed is dumped out to them in troughs and large quantities at a litift, Ketncin ber, we are not advocating "scrimp -1 ing" the feed. A Farmers' Lecture Course at the Peun* sylvania State College. In order to meet the wants of farmers who desire to increase their ability to successfully prosecute their calling, the Pennsylvania State Col lege oilers the following facilities: On Monday, the iJfith day of Jan uary, iHsil, the Faculty will la-gin a special course of instruction extend ing through four wee ks, consisting of two lectures on each of live days in the week ; and further exercises equivalent to a third lecture will lx given daily. The course will em brace agricultural chemistry, hot any, entomology, physiology, social science, plowing, sub-soiling, fertil izers, grain crops, rotation of crops, stock breeding, fruit growing, dairy ing, soiling cattle, forest culture, rural law, rural architecture, farm mechanics, flower gardening, forage crops, drawing, roads, bridges, com mon schools, landscape gardening, vegetable gardening, book keeping, Ac. •In three evenings of each week meetings for discussion and the in terchange of opinions and experi ences will IK- held, to which wdl be invited persons who have become successful and noted in sis-cial de partment-. of agriculture. <ln tin other evenings the persons attending the course will IK: welcomed to the lectures, rhectorieal exercises, society meetings and other services which come regularly in the order of the College work. The course will Is- open to every person. No charge whatever will be made for instructions, or the us- of the public rooms of the College. Persons desiring to room in the building will Ik- permitted to do so 011 the payment of five dollars for the whole time embraced by the course. This sum will pay for rent, fuel and use of such furniture as the institution provides for students rooming in the building, viz : sufgle Ix-dstcad, mattress, table, washstand and chairs. The occupants of each room will provide for themselves nil other articles, including lights, lxxl clothes and towels. It will Is- seen, therefore, that js-rsons not rooming in the building will have no payment whatever to make to the College. Table lx>ard can lc had in the m-igh!x>rhood at $3 |x-r week ; and, In-foic the time named for the open ing of the course, the officers of the College will endeavor to make ar rangements by which farmers, and others in the vicinity, will receive boarders at lower rates. The above course will lo given, provided that by the 31st of Decern- IHT, IH*SI, applicants sufficient in number to justify the prosecution of the plan shall have notified the Pres ident of the College of their inU-n --tention to attend. All such |>ersoiis, therefore, are urged to communicate their purpose to the President trt'Motd delay; and he will at once send them such additional information as may then seem needful.
