Every farmer in hit annual crpertenct
discovers something of value. It 'rite it and
send it to the "Agricultural Editor of the
llkmockat, Uellefonte, Penn'a," that other
farmers mag hare the benefit of it, het
communications be timely, anil be sure that
they are brief and wtll /minted.
OUR bright contemporary, the
Husbandman, seems to be somewhat
nettled at the proposed investigation
of the agricultural department by
the agricultural committee of Con
gress. Wherefore?
CONGRESS docs care something for
the agricultural interests of the
country, after all. Just before ad
journing for the holidays both houses
passed resolutions.providing for the
appointment of a joint sub-commit
tee of their respective committees of
agriculture to investigate the work
ings of the agricultural department
with a a iew to the extension of its
benefits throughout the country.
We hazard no guess as to what this
investigation may develop, but shall
watch its proceedings with interest.
BY a private letter received from
Mr. W. I. Chamberlain, we "learn
that he will not accept the chair of
Prof, of Agriculture, tendered him
by the Michigan Agricultural College.
We congratulate the readers of the
leading agricultural journals of the
country upon this decision of Mr.
Chamberlain, and feel confident that
the work which he now does for ag
ricultural journalism, furnishes hiui
a much larger field of usefulness than
he could find in even so good a col
lege as that of Michigan.
IN the DEMOCRAT of Xovemlier
fi, 1879, wc mentioned the premiums
offered by the Thurbersof New York,
for cheese aud butter salted with the
"Higgin's Euraka Salt," and predict
ed iliat they would be called upon to
pay them all. This prophecy was
based upon our personal knowledge
erf the good qualities of the Eureka
salt, and we are glad that the result
lias fulfilled our prediction. The '
sweepstake prizes in both butter and
cheese (for best made anywhere)
were awarded to lots salted with the
Higgin's salt. Another bit of testi
mony favorable to this salt is Ihc re
sult at the recent Massachusetts But
ter Show, which, as shown in a re
cently published letter of Professor
Alvord, is as follows: "All but tyo
of the twelve premium lots were
sailed with Higgin's Eureka Salt ;
one pf the two with the American
Dairy Co.'s salt, and the other kind
of salt was not stated. This may be
variously explained, but the fact de
serves notice."
Pruning the Orchard.
There is no better time in the
whole year for pruning trees than
just now, and the suggestion in the
following paragraph is timely :
"In pruning trees, all stems half
an inch or more in diameter, should
be covered with some water proof
substance like grafting-wax or shel
lac, ot the consistency of cream.
The bark and outer wood will thus
be preserved and the wound will in
a season or so be covered with a new
bark. If this precaution IKS not
taken, the end of the brnnch will
decay from wind, rain, beat and
cold."
'"Book-Fanning."
To those who refuse to subscribe
to agricultural journals, or buy agri
cultural books, on the ground that it
"does not pay," and that they do not
ljcllcve In "book-farming," we com
mend the following from the Ameri
can Agriculturist ;
"It docs pay, always, to read
about what others do, and say, and
think, in the same line of work or
business. If one does not find direct
information specially applicable to
bis own work, yet the thoughts and
methods of others incite new
thoughts and plans in the reader's
own mind that lead to profitable re
sults. The reading, thinking man,
makes his head help his hands.
Brains tell everywhere, and in noth
ing more than In farming, gardening,
and housekeeping. And the fewer
brains one has, or thinks be has, the
more anxious should he be to get all
the tacts and suggestions he can
from other people's thinking and ex
perience,"
How to Mauage the Manure Heap.
The manure pile has been truth
fully called the "fanner's bank," and
how to manago it most successfully
is a problem well worth studying,
in "Talks on Manuros," published
by the Orange Jndd Company, Jos
eph Harris tells how he deals with
this subject and his plan id so sim
ple and so easily adopted by every
farmer that we copy a portion of it
for our readers. There is no better
time to study this whole manure sub
ject than in the leisure of winter,
and it would amply repay every
thinking farmer to send for this work
of Mr. Harris', and devote the spare
time of the remaining winter even
ings to it. There is no man in the
country better able to speak with au
thority on this mutter than Mr. Har
ris :
"The real point of dillerence be
tween my plan of managing manure,
and the plan adopted by the Deacon,
is essentially this: I aim to keep all
my manure in a compact pile, where
it will slowly ferment all winter.
The Deacon throws his horse-manure
into a heap, just outside the stable
door, and the cow-manure into anoth
er heap, ami the pig mauurc into an
other heap. These heaps are more
or less scattered, and are exposed to
the rain, and snow, and frost. The
horse-manure is quite likely to fer
ment too rapidly, and if in a large
heap, ami the weather is warm, it not
unlikely 'fire-fangs' in the center of
the heap. On the other hand, the
cow-manure lies cold and dead, und
during the winter freezes into solid
lumps.
"I wheel or cart all mymunure into
one central heap. The main object
is to keep it as compact as |>osßible.
There are two advantages in this:
Ist, the manure is less exposed to the
rain, and (id), when freezing weather
sets in, only a few inches of the ex
ternal portion of the heap is
I ha*'c practiced this plan for sever
al years, and can keep my heap of
manure slowly fermenting the whole
winter.
"Hut in order to ensure this result,
it is necessary to begin making the
heap before the winter sets in. The
plan is this:
"Having selected the spot in the
pard most convenient tor making the
heap, collect nil the manure that can
be found in the sheep-yards, sheds,
cow and horse-stables, pig.pens, and
hen-house, together with leaves,
weeds ami refuse from the garden,
and wheel or cart it to the intended
heap. If you set a farm-man to do
the work, tell him you want to make
a hot-bed aliout live feet high, six
feet wide, and six feet long. Ido
not think I have ever seen a farm
where enough material could not be
found, say in November, to make
such a heap. And this is all that is
needed. If the manure is rich, if it
is obtained from animals eating clov
er-hay, bran, grain, or oilier food
rich in nitrogen, it will soon ferment.
But if the manure is poor, consisting
largely of straw, it will be very de
sirable to make it richer by mixing
with it bone-dust, blood, lieu-drop
pings, woollen rags, chamber-lye, and
animal matter of any kind that you
can find.
"The richer you can make the ma
nure, the more readily will it fer
ment. A good plan is to take the
horse or sheep manure, a few weeks
previous, ami use it for licdding the
pigs. It will absorb the liquid of
the pigs, and make rich manure,
which will soon ferment when placed
in a heap.
"If the manure in the heap is too
dry, it is a good plan, when you are
killing hogs, to throw oij to the ma
nure all the warm water, hair, blood,
intestines, etc. You may think lam
making too much of such a simple
matter, but 1 have bad letters from
farmers who have tried this plan of
managing manure, and they say that
i they can not keep it from freezing.
| One reason for this is that they do
, not start the heap early enough, and
do not take pains to get the manure
; into an active fermentation liefore
winter sets in. Much depends on
this. In starting a fire, you take
pains to get a little fine, dry* wood,
that will burn readily, and when the
fire is fairly going, put on larger
sticks, and presently you have aucli
a fire that you can burn wood, coal,
stubble, sods, or anything you wish.
And so It la with a manurc-hcap.
Get the fire, or fermentation, or, more
strictly awaking, putrefaction fairly
started, and there will be little
tronble, if the heap is large enough,
and fresh material is added from
time to time, of continuing the fer
mentation all winter.
"Another jioint to be observed, and
especially in cold weather, is to keep
the sides of the heap straight and
the top level. You must expose the
manure in the heap as little as possi
blc to frost and cold winds. The
rule should lie to spread every wheel
barrowful of manure as soon as it is
put on the heap. If left uuspread
on top of the heap, it will freeze;
and if afterwards covered with other
manure it will require considerable
heat to melt it, and thus reduce the
temperature of the whole heap.
"It is far leas work to manage a
heap of manure in this way than
may be supposed from my descrip
tion of the plan. The truth is, I
And, in point of fact, that it is not
an easy matter to manage manure
in this way ; and I fear not one far
mer in ten will succeed the first win
ter lie undertakes it, unless lie gives
it his personal attention. It is well
worth trying, however, because if
your heap shall freeze up, it will la
st any rate in no worse condition
than if managed in the ordinary
way; and if you do succeed, even "in
part, you will have munure in good
condition for immediate use in the
spring."
Feeding Calves.
Professor E. W. Stewart is giving
the readers of the Rural Mew Yorker
the benefit of his views and experi
ences in stock raising in a series of
able papers. From the current num
ber we make an extract of unusual
value, devoted to the feeding of
calves, and next week shall give the
Professor's ideas of fattening cattle :
The proper winter-feeding of calves
is first in order. As we have just
seen in reference to growing beef, the
rapid growth of the young animal is
of the greatest importance. Farm
ers, then, cannot afford to whiter
their calves in an indifferent manner,
keeping them, as is too frequently
the case, in a state of suspended
growth tdl grass conies again, rely
ing upon that to give them thrift. It
costs two-thirds as much to keep
calves in winter wiihoutany increase
in weight, as it does to make a fine
growth. The gain in full feeding all
comes from one-third 6f the food—
two-thirds being expended to keep
the calf alive without loss. Is it
not, therefore, very bad economy to
throw away two-thirds of the food
required to make a good growth, in
order to save the last third ? All
growth comes from the last third of
the food in a full ration. When far
mers fully understand this, they will
cease to throw away food in starving
young cattle. Some farmers arc
careless even in keeping the calf the
first summer, allowing it to gather all
its food in a poor pasture after the
short season of milk feeding. The
calf thus takes 011 a stunted condi
tion liefore winter comes. In such
case the greatest skill is required to
change this condition into one of
thrift, and if it be not done, it would
lie much more profitable to skin the
calf in the fall than to keep it in that
stand-still condition, for its food
through the winter will cost more
than the calf is worth in the spring.
Having treated in a previous article
upon the importance of warm, well
vcntilnted stables, it will be under
stood that calves are to have cooitw
table quarters. And, if the calves
have come to winter-quarters in poor
condition, the best food to start them
when it can be had is six or eight
quarts of skimmed milk with two
quarts of oats anil one pound of lin
seed oil-meal per day, with good hay.
This ration for four to six weeks will
start any calf in Reccmlier that is
not past recovery. Hut it will not
often happen thut the farmer has
milk at this season of the year, so
wc must give a ration that is not dif
ficult to obtain. Most farmers have
corn meal and oats, and linseed oil
meal is obtainable in almost any part
of the country. Give each poor calf
two pounds of corn meal, two pounds
of oats, and one |>ound of oil meal
|>er day, in two feeds. This, with
good clover hay or rowen, will soon
change the thrift of the calf. Per
haps the farmer will say lie cannot
afford it; well, then lie cannpl afford
to keep calves at all. This feed for
150 days will cost aliout seven dol
lars, as an average—in the West
somewhat less. Now, calves with
this ration ought to gain at least 300
pounds; whereas, if only fed hay,
iieing poor on the start, they will not
gain anything in weight. Will not
these 300 pounds' gain in weight
witli the greater value per |K>iui(f of
the whole animal, be full com|K>nsa
tion for this extra expenditure?
This extra weight and condition will
more than double the value of the
calf in spring.
If the calves come to winter
feeding in good, thrifty condition
they wilt winter finely upon two
quarts of oats and one pound of oil
meal. I mention the oil meal be
cause of its sanitary value in keep
ing the stomach and bowels in a
healthy condition. Hut if it ia not
cosy to obtain it feed three quarts of
oats per day to each calf with good
hay, and you bring it tiirougb finely.
If you have not oata, but corn and
good clover hay, feed three pints of
corn meal or shelled corn on a thin
layer of hay in the manger; or, bet
ter, if you have wheat bran and corn
meal, feed two quarts of bran and
one quart of corn meal mixed in two
feeds. If you live near grape-sugar
works your calves may lie fed still
cheaper on four quarts of sugar meal
and one pound of oil meal with hay,
or the sugar meal with one quart of
oats per day. The sugar meal (9 not
a complete food in itself and should
always be fed with a small portion of
other grain. But whatever ration,
you adopt, feed liberally; in that
will lie found the most profit. For
heifcra intended for the dairy I have
not given different rations from those
for calves intended for beef, because
they both require nitrogenous rations
to grow the frame and muscles, and
I have not given excessive ration
that would injure young heifers in
tended for breeding.
LANCASTER and Hurkscounties will
get about four million dollars for
their tobacco crop tliis year.—Ex
change.
That's all right, provided they don't
run the business to the extreme of
impoverishing their land so that it
will not produce tobacco or anything
else, as many Connecticut farmers
have done.
What the Different Breeds are Good For.
Or. Il'iitl*, lit tin* liit'Thtiotiul Dairy Fair;
It is u positively settled fact, that
each of the thoroughbred breeds of
cows are better in the linen of tbeir
special fitness to yield large and val
uable producta than common or much
mixed cows can be for any pur[>OHe.
Therefore, in intelligent breeding, it
is always wise to breed for a special
purpose. Thus, if we desire a large
quantity of inilk for retail delivery,
we must improve our common cow
for that pur|>ose by mingling with
the better blood; for this object,
the llolHteinor Dutch cow is the best.
So, also, ii we desird butter, we
must go to the Jersey for the best
blood to mix with our common breed
to secure this desirable produet of
the best quality.
To secure the greatest quantity
and quality of cheese, we must in
like manner go to the Ayrshire
blood to secure this object.
If wc wish beautiful oxen for light
work, or small fine bones, the blood
of the Devons will fill these require
ments. Hut if we wish large steers
for mountains of beef of first class
quality, we must seek the blood of
the magnificent Short Horns, or that
of the equally good llerefords.
Tins knowledge is most useful and
profitable to the farmer, dairyman
and herdsmen. For each in his voca
tion can so practice upon it as that
it shall yield to him the largest profit
The Experiment Btation in Every State
Prom th* Burol Nor Y<>rkT.
That iteration and reiteration have
much virtue in securing at length the
object sought, has been repeatedly
proven lioth IK- fore and since the date
of the parable of the unjust judge.
Hence we once more insist upon the
necessity of having in the State, nnd
in every State in which such Institu
tions have not already been estab
lished, an Experiment Station, to
which each farmer may send samples
of fertilizers to be tested.
Periods of Milking.
rrora llir Aumrirta Agrimtliirul.
A cow that ia milked three timet a
day will give more milk and yield more
••ream than one that it milked at inter
val* of twelve hours. When the udder

and part of the milk aeoreted is thu

copious milkers at intervals of eight
hours as nearly as |>ossihle. A cow that
is milked t five in the morning, one in
the afternoon, and nine at night, will
yield from ten to twenty per cent, more
milk and more cream than if milked
twice a day.
Feeding Milch Cows.
The Onondaga Milk Association, of
New York, conclude that "corn anil
oats, ground and mixed in equal quan
tilies, make the most valuable meal,
and a given quantity of aueh meal is
worth more than any other."

Among Our Contemporaries.
The Country Gentleman has for twenty
nix years published an Annua' Register of
Rural Affairs under the continuous edi
torial charge of its enunciate editor,
John fl Thomas. To a certain extent
this Annual is a reprint of some of the
best things which have appeared in the
Country Gentleman, revised for the pur
pose, but a very large proportion of the
■natter it contains is prepared for it hy
specialist* in the matters of which they
treat. It is an exceedingly valuable
little work, and should be in the hands
of every professional farmer. No. 20,
containing 244 pages of excellent letter
press, and no less than 130 engraving*,
is on our table by the courtesy of the
publishers. It is sent free to every
subscriber to the Country Gentleman.
These Annuals are gathered into Trien
nial Volumes, under the title of Rural
Affairs, without either calender or ad
verlising pages, and the eight volumes
now issued form one of the most com
plete and valuable agricultuial libraries.
