Every farmer in hit annual experience
i liseorers something of value. Write it anil
send it to the "Agricultural Editor of the
DKUOI'RAT, llellefonte, I'enn'a," that other
farmers may hare the benefit of it. Let
communications be timely, ami be sure that
they are brief and well /minted.
E. i'. HOK, who writes the enter
taining and instructive papers on
Small Fruits for Srri filter's, says that
"to |>eople who live in the country,
small fruits are like heaven—objects
of universal desire and very general
neglect." This establishes -Mr. Hoe's
reputation as a clear and careful
observer, even if it is "putting it a
little strong."
A LIBERAL pile of pure, coarse
sand in the cellar, with which to eo\*
er roots, fruits and most vegetables,
should have been provided ill the
pleasant weather of the early fall.
It is not yet too late in many locali
ties, to secure it, and it will well pay
for the trouble. Almost all roots or
fruits will keep better in sand than
in any other way, provided the sand
lie pure and dry, and the cellar cool
enough.
ItEroRE many Weeks the ice crop
will be ready for harvest, and we
should be prepared for it. An ex
ceedingly cheap structure, large
enough to hold ten or a dozen two
horse loads, will he sutlicient for the
ordinary uses of a farm ; and the
filling of it will occupy but two or
three of the comparatively leisure
days of winter, and will be more of
a frolic than anything else. These
."mall outlays of time and labor will
be many times re|>aid by the com
fort to be found in a plentiful sup
ply of ice next summer. Better 1
build the ice house now, and have it
ready. We built one eight years
ago at an expense of between ten j
and eleven dollars, which has an- j
swered our every purpose, and is yet
in good condition for the coming j
Kftjon.
A WHITER in the Philadelphia He- 1
rord suggests that where it is incon- 1
venient to have corn ground for cat
tle feed, the next tast way is to mix
the shelled corn with short-cut corn
stalks, dampen the mass, and let it
remain for a few hours, when "the cat
tle will eat corn and stalks together,
and masticate the corn much better
than when fed on the cob. Another
advantage claimed is that when fed
in this corn will IK? raised
with the end and re-masticated, j
which does not occur when the corn
is fed alone. There secerns to be
some plausibility in this, but we are
sure that the advantage gained by
grinding corn and cob together, as
can easily be done now on the small
and cheap mills made specially for
farmers use, and then mixing it with
the chopped stalks or hay, or
straw, would much more than repay
the expense and trouble. We shall
probably have more to say on this
subject at an early day.
AT the regular meeting of the
Klmira Farmer's club, held Nov., 15,
reports of experiments conducted in
the past season with the purpose of
# determining the value of various
commercial fertilizers were submit
ted. With a single exception, none
of the tests made showed any ap
preciable benefit arising from the use
of this class of fertilizers, but the
members seemed to agree that the
unusual dryness of the season should
le held responsible for the failures
nd that they were nut going to give
it up at this, but would "try again."
President Hoffman very sensibly
aaid : "We must not regard any test
made in a single year with fertilizers
as conclusive. They must lie con
ducted through a series of years—at
least two—before we can be assured
what results attend their use. With
our present knowledge we can hardly
make intelligent guesses about the
value of the various fertilizers offer
ed in the markets, when applied to
our soils. 1 propose to continue un
til 1 can reach something like defii
nite knowledge, although the tests 1
shall make will be conducted on a
small scale."
"GUILT-EDOED" butter is a little dif
flcult to secure at this time of the
year, even with the best of cure in
feeding the cows and manipulating
the cream. So far ns sweetness and
flavor are concerned, the butter may
equal that made in June or October,
but if it be white and lardy in up
pearancc it does not smu so good,
and will not sell so well, as if of the
orthodox dandelion color. This
may be easily secured by the judici
ous use of the Perfected Butter Color,
made by Wells, Richardson A Co.,
at Burlington, Vt. We are aware of
the prejudice which exists against
the use of coloring matter in butter,
but we know from extended experi
ence that there is no reason for objec
tion to the use of this. We use it
ourselves, constantly. It is odorless
and tasteless, and its only effect upon
the butter is to bring its color to the
desired point, and, perhaps, add
slightly to its keeping qualities.
The True Use of Commercial Fertilizers.
K. P. Hoc, one of the noted horti
culturists of the country, is contrib
uting a series of papers to Seribner,
under the title of "Success with
Small Fruits," which contain many
gems of agricultural wisdom outside
of the special subject of which he
treats. We quote one In-low which
should ta read by every farmer in the
land :
As practically employed, 1 regard
quick, stimulating manures, like gua
no, very injurious to light soils. I
believe them to be the curse of the
South. They are used "to make a
crop," as it is termed ; ami they do
make it for a few years, but to the
utter impoverishment of the land.
And yet, by the aid of these stim
ulating commercial fertilizers, tin
poorest ami thinnest soil can ta
made to produce fine straw tarries, if
sutlicient moisture can ta maintained.
Just as a physician can rally an ex
hausted man to a condition in which
he can take and ta strengthened by
food, so land too poor and light to
sprout a pea, can IH- stimulated into
producing a meager green ciop of
some kind, which, plowed under, will
enable the land to produce a second
heavier burden. This, in turn placed
in the soil, will tagin to give a sug
gestion of fertility. Thus poor or
exhausted soil can ta marie, by sev
eral years of skillful management, to
convalesce slowly into strength.
Milking.
From lh Ame-ricai Nrjiutn.
The faster and more gentle a cow
is milked, the greater will 1m- the
amount given. .Slow milkers alwavs
gradually dry up a cow, ami for the
reason that if the milk ta- not drawn
about as fast as it is given down it
will sutacquently ta withheld, and
that withheld is as a matter of course
what is known as the stripping*, in
fact the up|icr surface of the milk
in the udder. Many milkers draw
the milk with a strong downward
pull, in fact with a jerk. This should
never ta allowed; it irritates the
cow, and injures the bag. Fill the
teat and with a firm pressure of the
last three fingers empty it, drawing
slightly on the teat ami udder at the
same time; so proceed nlternntely
with each hand until the milk supply
is exhausted. Many milkers get tin
habit of slow milking liecause steady,
firm, quick milking tires the fingers
and wrists, until by practice the inns- |
cles get used to the work. Until
this use comes naturally the Individ
ual should only milk such n number
as he can without severe cramping of
the hands ; what arc milked should
be milked fsst, increasing the numtar
till there is no tiring whatever. Fire
minutes is a taut the limit that should
be allowed for milking a cow. There :
is another thing well worthy of taing
remembered. Cows should ta milk
ed as nearly at a given hour morning j
and evening as |>ossible, undue dis
tention of the udder is always in
jurious.
Plants In Window Gardens.
9. O, J., IN IAII<I nnd Ifntn*.
Many amateur window gardeners
have little success in growing plants,
Itecause, although they water them
daily, and keep the earth in the pots
well stirred up, they pay no attention
to the cleanliness of the leaves.
IMants breathe through the min
ute |w>rcs of their leaves, and if the
aurface is clogged with dust their
breathing is impeded. And as plants
also perspire through their leaves,
the dust prevents that necessary o[>-
cration ; ami if breathing and pres
piration is interrupted by the accum
ulation of dust or other matter upon
the leaves and branches, their growth
iscbeckcd and health impaired. Wipe
off the leaves of your calls or gera
niums with a soft handkerchief, and
see what a streak of of dirt is left
upon it; ami then you will learn
how essential for their luxuriant
growth la a weekly shower-bath, or
a wiping of the leaves with a wet
s|>ongc.
In the kitchen sink a good many
plants can be easily showered st one
time, and then led to dry before they
are returned to their places.

Neatness in Fanniug.
I llm Wiwl.rtl ftulnl
Nothing gives evidence of tlirifl I
and enU-rpri/.e in farming better than
keeping everything in order. There
are times when even the most pains
taking men are compelled to let things
go somewhat at loose ends, hut upon
the first occasion of spare time and
duo diligence thereafter, the wonted
appeurnnee of tilings about the prem
ises should be looked after.
At the cost of a little time and
labor, when required, the appearance
of an untidy farm may !>c so im
proved as to add considerable to its
value, and the price-obtained in the
event of its sale. The contrast bc
iwe-en neat and slovenly kept farms
represents more in a |H-cuniary point
of view, very often, than is supposed.
Take a farm which, by its ap|iear
nncc, shows clear culture, from which
stumps and hushes have been remov
es I, the buildings kept in repair, the
fences and gates in order, the rul.hish
kept from the roadside, and fence
corners,the t ls housed when not in
use, and the stock exhibiting evidence
of good care and attention, and in
the event of its purchase, it w ill bring
relatively much moie than one equally
fertile, but kept in a slovenly way.
W eedy fields, tumble-down fences,
gates out of repair, implements scat
tered about the farm where they were
ns-d last, rubbish everywhere, and
inferior looking slock, take from a
farm naturally fertile a good round
sum in the event of a sale.
Fattening Chickens for the Table.
Fr*n* il.s l'*mi. • l
The three prime rubs to be ol
served are, sound and various fcxsl,
warmth nnd cleanliness. There i*H
nothing that a fatting fowl grows so
fastidious atwMit as bis water. If
water any way foul Is- otlercd him,
he will not drink it, but sulk with
his food, and pine, and you all the
while wondering the reason why-
Keep them separate, allow ing to each
bird as much as you can spare;
spread the ground with sharp, sandy
gravel, taking care that they an
nul distnrlaal. In addition to their
regular diet of good corn, make them
a cake of ground oats or beans,
brown sugar, milk and mutton suet.
Let the cake lie till it is stale, then
crumble It, and give eacli bird a gill
ineasure-full morning nnd erening.
No entire grain should lie given to
fowls during the time they are fat
tening ; indeed, the secret of suc
cess lies in supplying them with nu- |
tritious food without stint, and in
such a form that their digestive mills
shall find no difficulty in grinding iL

Eggs for Winter Use.
Prim* tlx* American Kt.w km an.
It is a foolish plan to IK> seeking
the la-st methods for putting down
eggs for the winter use. This used ,
to be one of the first tests of thrifty i
housekeeping. Hut it is lictter and
just as easy to have hens to lay all
the year around. If hens have a
warm house nnd enough to eat, and
of the right kind, they will lay in
winter as well as in summer. Farm
ers always expect to feci some grain
to the fowls, then if they would save
all of the wastir meat and scraps that
accumulate from the table, and feed
it to the hens in winter they would
Is* repaid in fresh eggs. It is also a
good plan to hatch out some early
and some late chickens, as in that
way the late ones will be laying
when the older ones want to set.

Agricaltural Amusement .
IV*? Ik* i\.n (V arnt.
Uncle Sam, says a corrc*<|Knlcnt
of a farm newspaper, give* but
000 for agricultural amuscmi-nls,
while Prussia pay* $2,f.12.000 and
France $10,000,000. "Now our ag
ricultural voter* arc 72 js-r cent, of
the whole, and if jose*-d of equal
intelligence and zeal in the intercsta
of their business with the manufac
turers, mechanics, and professional
men, we should soon solve the cause
of hard times ami find a remedy."'
"Whoa!—old mare—if you are
goin' to get on I'in going to get off,"
as the fellow said.
When farmers begin to talk of ap
propriation* for agriculture, St i a
sign the old mare has caught her
foot in the stirrup, ami politicians
may as well take the hint and dis
mount.
The American Bwine Trade.
An Knglish |>eriodical says; 4, 1t
dot's not follow that the trade in live
hogs between the United States and
Hritian has received a death-blow. ,
On the contrary, it only needs fkcili
t ies for slaughtering, and a thorough
organization of the means for dis
tributing the meat ami offal, to ren
der the trade almost as profitable as if
| the nnimal was allowed to go inland
alive. In fact, the market for lite
waste and inferior products of the |
hog is so much letter in England ;
than Chicago, that wc question if'
Liverpool might not Ire supplied with
W estcrn hogs, snd made a great cen
tre of the packing trade."
I v it pays to purchase costly ag
ricultural implements, it certainly
pays to take care of them, now that
they are to be laid by for a six
, months. The time to care fur ail
! farm tools is now. Put them in com
-1 plcto order that they may Ire ready
for use when needed in the spring,
nnd ti mo'presses. This is a trite ad
vice, readers, but we all stand in
need of it.— Rural New Yorker.
''PKDtORKK first, the animal after
ward," is the rule which a celebrated
English breeder gives as governing
bis selection of breeding animals. Rut
lie adds; "Unless both are good Ido
not purchase or use the animals."
MII.K sold in the thirteenth century
in England for two cents per gallon.
Civilization has advanced the price
to forty cents.
MANY wise things Imve Ijccn said
concerning the cause of this return
of proH|x:rity. Hut it in enough for
UH eouiuion |M-opl<- to remetnltcr that
when the farmers leave their fields
find go into the village* ami cities
to make money, hard times are sure
to come. I hat is just what happen
ed fifteen years ago. We all la-came
middlemen and exacted somehow to
got along. One ol the most encour
aging facts that has come to light
this year, both Kant and West, is the
vast increased acreage in many of
the staple crops. To Is,* sure, there
are many other considerations in this
complicated problem of renewed
prosperity, but they all at length find
root in agriculture. The historians
tell usthatrin reality it was not the
northern trils*s that firially toppled
over the great fabric of the Koman
Km pile, but the total ruin of its ag
riculture cansei| by the importation
ol grains and farm produce from the
provinces, and the feeding of the de
moralized populace from the public
stores. A healthy ami pros|ierous
