Erery farmer in his annual experience (Uncover* something of value. Write it and send it to the "Agricultural Editor of the DKMOCHAT, Belief ante, I'enn'u," that other farmer* may hare the benefit of it. Let communteatwnn be timely, and be sure that they are brief and well pointed. ARK your hens housed in as com fortable quarters, and as carefully and intelligently fed us your other farm stock? II they ate do they not give evidence—in the egg basket —of their appreciation of such care ? THE Poultry World for December has a description of an immense es tablishment at Cresskill, N. J., de voted to hatching and raising chick ens for the New York market. The birds are hatched in incubators, from eggs brought from Massachusetts; raised in hot houses heated by steam, j and fattened upon food forced down their necks by a patented machine. THE House Committee on Agri culture has directed to be reported to the House for passages bill repealing so much of the Revised Statutes as prohibited farmers and planters from selling leaf tobacco at retail directly to consumers without paying a special tax. Thus another unjust discrimi nation against farmers will be done away. THE American Agriculturist pro poses to open, at its otllce, 245 Droad way, New York, a record of every agricultural, horticultural, and other kindred societies, in the United States and British America. We call the j attention of all officers of societies who may see this, to this matter, and request them to send to the Agricul- , turist such information as may be needed for this purpose. This will include the name of county and State j where located, the name of the soci- j cty, and the names and post-office i addresses of the president and secre- j tary. THE correspondents of our valued contemporary, the Connecticut Farmer, are spending bottles of ink, and wasting reams of paper in discussing the different methods of "harvesting corn." This is well enough, perhaps, but we are much more interested in Dr. Stnrtevant's "How to grow one hundred bushels of corn per acre." Whenever we become wise enough and careful enough to reach this in an average crop, we will manage to get it harvested, somehow. THE newly organized American agricultural association has already given abundant evidence thnt no such institution is needed nor can be maintained in this country. Western States were not represented at the meeting at all; the names of the chief officers are comparatively un known in agricultural circles; and the executive committee, consisting of five memlters, embraces one gen eral, two colonels, one doctor, and one ex-governor. Too many titles there. The end can be seen from the beginning. W K arc under obligations to Gen eral Lc I)uc for his November He port of the condition of crops. It reports the wheat crop this year to be the largest ever produced in the country, exceeding that of last year by about twenty-six millions of hush els. Pennsylvania held its own in quantity and improved in quality. The average yield per acre for the whole country la 13.9 against 18.1 hist year—a gain of .8. Indiana re ports an average of 20.3 bushels per acre, an increase of exactly four bushels over last year's crop. The lowest average per acre is seven bushels,in North Carolina; Colorado takes the lead with twenty-three and one-tenth, and Pennsylvania comes in with fifteen and three-tenths. The corn ctop is returned as fifteen per cent, larger than last year, with Ne braska leading with an average of forty-flve bushels per acre. Tobacco is reported as having gained very decidedly in Pennsylvania, though the crop for the whole country is from sixteen to twenty per cent, be hind the average for the past eight years. Rye shows a decline of pine per cent., while potatoes show the largest average since 1875, with Ver mont leading oil' with n'< average of one hundred and forty-flve bushels. IN our issue of November 13, we published a circular from General Walker, Superintendent of Census, addressed to farmers, giving informa tion as to what questions will be asked, and what answers required by the census taker, when he makes his appearance in June. We desire again to call the attention of our farmer readers to this matter, and urge upon them the importance of giving it proper attention. "A wonderful de velopment of agricultural production has taken place since 1870, especially in the cereals and in feeding of beeves for (juality in rtieat production. He sides, the eyes of the world are just now turned upon our agriculture as never before,on account of the strong competition it oilers on every hand. All these considerations conspire to make this census far more important, than any of its predecessors." For thoroughness in this agricultural part of the enumeration, dependence must, in a large measure, be placed upon the farmers, who should educate and prepare themselves for their part of the work. "The superintendent de sires all farmers to prepare themselves in advance to note the number of ucres in each crop, estimate carefully the quantities of products harvested, and calculate their true values. The numbers and value of farm stock, implements, etc., should also l>c fixed in advance. If these facts are not carefully developed during this fall and winter, the returns to the enum erators will be a jumble of guess work of very uncertain value." If farmers will turn to our issue of November 13, before referred to, and cut out the circular of General Wal ker, they will find it an easy matter to prepare their answers as there directed. Farm Drainage. Mr. Howard Meek*, of Kent coun ty, Md., recently read a lecture before the Grange of which he is a member, upon the subject of draining farms; in which, after giving some notable examples of the benefits of under draining, as ordinarily understood, he spoke as follows. We arc indebt ed to the American Farmer for the extract: But there is a kind of drainage that is quite otherwise. These, like the better sort, are not seen, or at leaat are not so apparent as to attract attention. They consist, as do the others, of mains and laternls. To lay them costs noth ing, but once laid they Income fountains of perpetual poverty. In the early history of Kent couqjy tobacco was the staple crop and contin ued to be so until the cry went forth in every direction "farming don't pay." Then farmers abandoned tobacco and gave their attention more to cereals. It denoted progress, for the cereals do return something to the exhausted soil. This kind of husbandry prevailed with varying results until the discovery and introduction of Peruvian guano. Its action on first application was marvel ous and excited the most sanguine hopes. Further trials, however, dispell ed the illusion, and demonstrated that stimulants are not food, and that exces sive excitation of land, as of animal life, must result in subsequent and corre spending exhaustion. Yet the process is still going on. and taday farmers everywhere are toiling on in the delu sive hope of reaping some profit while they are enriching the dealers in com mercial fertilizers. A member of this firange has made a close calculation and finds that the farmer gets all the straw and chaff and the phosphate merchant all the grain. It is not atall extravagant, I think, to say that the outlay for fer tilizers in a single year in this county would pay for a cistern to contain the liquid manure of the barnyards on every farm in it. Moreover, that this liquid manure, now wasted, applied to grass lands, would be worth more than twice the price of the fertilizers employ ed. <>n nine tenths of our farms this finds its way into the Chesapeake. This is pernicious drain No. 1. Added to this is the almost universal practice of leavinc solid manure exposed to the weather to leach and evaporate until its strength is exhausted. The lack of sheds or covered pits to protect our manure is insidious and ruinous drain No. '2. These we may call mains of this wasteful system of covered drains. The laterals are innumerable. There is no pit for ashes, and they are thrown out to be scattered by the winds or leached by the rains until they are nearly worthless. The dropping* of the iioultry house are suffered to lie about In much the same manner until half their virtue is lost. Plows, harrows and other farm tools are left where last used to bleach and decay, to he replaced by new ones to pass through the same ordeal. Cattle and other stock stand shivering in the wintry blast eking out a life ef woe by nibbling at a bunch of straw; while the farm buildings, dwell ing included, are tumbling to pieces; while loose clap boards and swinging shutters are olspping a pean of praise to the presiding goddess of ruin ! The farm has been drained and the owner likewise. How long can such a process ocntinue. Every Farmer His own Miller. In the long ago it WHS much cheaper for a farmer to take his grain to the miller, ami by paying liim one-eighth or twelve and one half per cent., have his grinding done at a fair price. Now, the miller will obligingly exchange from IK to 35 pounds of (lour for a hiudiel of wheat, HO that if the wheat in worth 50 cents a bushel,* the farmer pays the miller 1(i bushels of wheat for a barrel of Hour, or nearly 70 per cent, of his wheat for the grinding. The charge for grinding corn is lOcenta per bushel; that is, the husbandman Is permitted to pay the miller one load of corn for grinding another. Such being the case, an agriculturist cannot attord to feed stock ground food, or indulge very lib erally in wheat bread, unless be does bis own grinding. (loot] farm mills are now so cheap, that it is real economy to buy one. We find the above in the Rural New Yorker , and quote it as written, although the figures will not hold in this section. The charges for grind ing are not so great here as those given by the Ruru /, but they are high enough to prove quite a burden to the farmer, and to cause many—|>er haps most—to feed their grain whole rather than incur the expense ol' grinding. Careful observation lias convinced us, from our own experi ence, that if pays to grind all groin fed, and particularly when it ran is; ground at so small expense as upon one of the farm mills mentioned by the Rural. Of these, there arc many varieties, and of them all, actual ex perience leads us to believe that the best and cheapest for the average farmer arc of the clnss known as the* coifee mill style, which have the lever for furnishing the power directly connected to them, and may be used independent of any other power. Our own is of this pattern, and was made by J. A. Field, Son k Co., of St. Louis, it being our choice after a careful examination of all that we had any knowledge of. We now do all our own chopping at a cost of but little, if any, more than that formerly incurred by taking our grain to mill and back, and save the miller's charges for grinding. On a majority of the farms in Centre county this would amount to the cost of the mill every year. How Shall We use Hen Manure ? D. N. Kern, in the late number of the Practical Farmer , takes a new departure on this subject, and, as usual, he is right: v I clean my poultry houses every Saturday morning. In one house I have li head, in another 29 head, and in the third house 48 head—in all, 80 head, and the droppings from them weigh 4 4 pounds every week. Lur ing the months of July, August and September I had 100 head. As soon as 1 have my poultry houses cleaned, J take the manure and spread it over my wheat field, or on a poor spot in ray meadow, and you can take my word that a man with one eye can see where I put it. To put hen man ure in a box or barrel and keep it one year before it is put to n crop. I think is a wrong way. What would you think of a man who had SIOO ready to put out at interest, but would keep it a year before he put it out ? My opinion is, the sooner yon give your hen manure to the needy soil, the sooner you get the profit from it. Not long ago I visited a man, and to my astonishment I saw aliout two tons of hen manure lying in his large poultry house. No wonder the chicken cholera comes around. 1 iiK fsrmersof this country are at the bottom of all its prosperity.— hlxchange. True! Isn't it time some of them were getting to ihe top of it ? I nr.ur.vt that ts should linvc salt t len.H once a week —twice in really not too often—hut care should aUo he tak en that they have acceaa to water. My experience U that salt, unless soon fol lowed by water to dilute it. haa injur ious c licet a. It produce* alone a fever in the atoinacb, and create* a burning thirst which ia had for the animal.—K'- chamff t The plan which wc have found to l)c the least trouble, and to give the moat satisfactory results is to have both salt and water at all times ac cessible to the cattle, and let them determine how often and in what quantities they need either. Let a box be permanently fixed under the corner of the shed, or even under the overshot of the barn, and keep con stantly in it a mixture of say a peck of salt, half a pek of wood ashes, and a big handful of sulphur. The cattle will lick at it daily, and "profit thereby." Then, If there is a supply of fresh, running water in another part of the barn-yard, as there is on every well-regufeted farm, they can "dilute" it at their pleasure, and "profit thereby," too. WINTER and spring butter is often injured in flavor by allowing cows to eat the litter from horse stables. How and Wliy to Use Lime. Larger quantities of lime are used upon the farms of our county every year. In order to help our farmers to a more intelligent application of it, and understanding ot its action, we re-print from the Religious a very plainly written article by one of the leading chemists of the day: What are of lime in agri culture '( (1) Lime is always one of the nine substances found in the ash of plants. The grasses and forest trees particu larly take it lqi from the soil in great abundance. When lime is not pres ent in the soil in sutiicieut abundance to meet this demand, it should lie added. • (2) Lime is needed to hasten the decomposition of vegetable matter, and so make it available us plant food. If we wrap up a piece of lime in a cloth, in a short time the cloth is so decomposed that it will fall into shreds from its own weight. Tan ners use lime in their vuts to rot the hair from the hides. Now, lime lie haves exactly in this way in the soil. The vegetable matter in the soil is use less until it decomposes, ami lime hastens the process of decomposi tion. (.'}) Lime is frequently necessary to correct acidity in the soil. Soils charged with vegetable acids are never productive. On such soils we put lime, which, combining with these acids, forms neutral salts o( lime. A person takes u little liine water, for exactly the same reason, when he sutlers from acidity of the stomach. When lands have been freshly drained, they are always acid. The excess of water, with which the land was saturated, had excluded the atmosphere, and so had prevented the complete decomposition of vege table matter. This vegetable matter, if the air had not Iteeiv excluded, woidd have been converted by at mospheric oxygen into carbonic acid, ammonia, Ac.; but without oxygen, its elements rearrange themselves, and form those injurious compounds, ulroic, humic and geic acids. When the soil is drained, the atmosphere strikes through and destroys these acids, but not entirely in a single season. The process of. necessity, is slow. The sod to the depth of sev eral feet, it inay lie, is sour, and it will lie some time liefore the atmos phere can thoroughly permeate this soil and burn out these hurtful acids. Lime, then, com< s to help the slow operation of natural causes. When It is spread upon the soil, it is carried downward by the rains, and combines with and neutralizes speedily and ef fectually these vegetable acids. We Cannot possibly err, then, when wo put lime on freshly-drained lands. In such lands there are not only free acids, but a large amount of organic matter, which has not been decom posed because of the exclusion of atmospheric oxygen. The applica tion of litne to such soils corrects this acidity, and by decomposing, renders immediately available this large amount of vegetable matter. The ash of the grasses contains 22 per cent, of lime. Hence the practice of top dressing the grasses with gyp sum, which is the sulphate of lime. Lime may lie injuriously applied, if the soil contain but Utile vegeta ble matter, the applicatioh of lime, particularly heavy applications, will cause this vegetable matter to decom pose too quickly. When the crop approaches maturity, it finds that its quantum of vegetable matter lias already lieen decomposed and used up. The result will lie conspicuous ly disastrous if the soil was not de ficient in lime. The lime has sup plied no want, but has only inflicted an injury. (1) Lime is known as caustic or quick lime. This is the nrticle as we obtain it from the kiln. Heat has expelled carbonic acid from the car bonate of lime, and cnustic lime is the result. (2) Hyd rated or slaked limo. When we add to lum|m of caustic lime alout 25 per cent, of water, the lumpa fall dowti into a perfectly dry jKrwder, giving u slaked lime. (3) I'pon exposure to the atmos phere, this alaked lime loaea its prop erties. It become* the carbonate of lime, or mild lime—the very com pound chemically from which the lime was originally obtained. Thi* mild lime, or carbonate of lime, ha* no caustic or disorganizing proper ties whatsoever. It tnny be naked, then, why we do not use lime in it* natural state, namely, the carbonate of lime, if it geta into that condi tion when we spread it on the soil f We answer: (1) Although lime goes l>ack to carbonate of lime, it does not do so all at once, and, in the process of re turning to that condition, it decom pose* vegetable matter, and so makes it plant food. (2) The natural limestone rock— the carbonate—is very hard, and its reduction to a powder by mechanical means would be difficult and expen sivc. Now, when lime slakes in the air it falls down into a dry powder. No mechanical reduction, therefore, is necessary. It requires less expen diture of force to burn the limestone, and let the lime fall to powder of it self, than to reduce the natural rock by mechanical power. Tho Older Mill.
