Write it anil tend it to the "Agricultural Editor of the DKMOCRAT, Hellefonfe, Penn'tt," that other farmers may have the benefit of it. Let communications be timely, anil be sure that they are brief and veil pointed. m If the mowing machine and horse rake were put away last year without cleaning, the uxles and all the jour nals will be found badly "gurncd up." Nothing will clean thetn more easily or quickly than coal oil. Do not delay cutting the rye heads from the wheat too long. If done now they may be dropped where cut, but if postponed a few days they w ill become so nearly matured this will be unsafe, and they must be carried out and destroyed. A FAW tporc days and clover hay making will begin. Are you ready ? Arc the mower, rake, wagon, hand forks, and horse fork all in order. If you have no horse fork and intend getting one, take our advice, and get the I'ennock Double Harpoon. A large experience with several kinds warrants us in making this advice emphatic. We are in receipt of the second abstract from the Premium List of the Ktute Agricultural Society, cov ering the Second Department which embraces vegetables, fruits and flow ers and ornamental plants. The premiums offered in this department are upon the same large scale which ! prevailed in the fruit department, and should secure a magnificent dis play. Copies of the Premium List may lie obtained by addressing the Secretary, Major Klbridge McCor key, at llarrisburg. The most effective way lo rid sheep of ticks, is to give the lambs n dip in strong tobacco water a few days after shearing. The shearing leaves the parasites ao exposed upon the old sheep that they soon congre gate upon the lambs. Five jxjunds of tobacco boiled in twenty gallons of water will make it about the prop er strength, and an adddilion of a couple of pounds of sulphur will make it sure death to all the vermin with which it coines in contact. As sulphur does not dissolve in water, it will be necessary to stir the dip while using. One point in favor of harrowing wheat in the spring, which we have by twelve years experience, estab lished to our entire satisfaction, is that it greatly aids in securing a "good catch" of clover. We deferred our clover seed sowing this spring until late in April, after the ground had dried and settled thoroughly, and then'sowed it immediately be hind a heavily-weigh ted harrow. As a result we have a splendid catch, of more real value to us, on one third land, than the wheat crop itself. We believe, indeed we feel certain, that the harrowing improves the wheat crop, but it is of less importance in this than in securing a good stand of clover. AT the request of Messrs. 11. J. Baker A Bro., of New York, to whose circular we alluded in our issue of April 8, we are making test experi ments with their special manures for tobacco and potatoes. Messrs. Baker & Bro. have sent us certain quantities of each, with instructions to apply the tobacco fertilizer to one acre of our tobacco crop, and that for potatoes to one-fourth of an acre. In the case of the tobacco we have already applied good barnyard ma nure at the rate of fifteen tons per acre, and have selected two one acre lots in different parts of the field, and cultivated by different men, to one-half of each we will apply the chemical manure, according to in structions, in addition to the barn yard manure. In all other particu lars, these and the adjoining half acres will be treated precisely alike, and results carefully noted. For the po tato test we measured oir a half acre from one end of the corn field, on which a good sod had been turned down last fall, but to which no ma nure was applied, the ground being in but moderately good condition. The strip was long and narrow, making but eight rows. In four of these we applied the chemical manure, as per instructions, leaving the re maining four without any of any kind. The whole was planted in Late Rose potatoes on the same da}', and will be treated alike in all respects until time to dig and measure, when we w ill report what difference, if any, the speciul manure makes. TUB neatest little "implement" we have seen for many a day, is the "combination fruit press," made by the Enterprise Manufacturing Com pany of Philadelphia. It is adapted to a great variety of uses, but will he appreciated nowhere more highly than in the farmer's kitchen. Essen tially a Jmil press, it is at the same time, a first-class lard press, and perfect sausage staffer. Its chief use will be found in extracting the juices of all kinds of fruits for mak ing the various wines, jellies and cordials; and this it does perfectly, and with the greatest ease and sim plicity. During the fruit season, which is soon to open, it would find almost daily use in almost every farmer's house. Hints for the Haying Season. It linker in I*r*<'ti<'e here. Many delay the business too long, and before they are aware of it, the time has run on to the Lost week in June, or probably later. Generally speaking, we let the clover and grass get too ripe before cutting. In older countries the custom is to secure the hav crop while all the juices remain in the leaf and stem of the plant. True, w hen cut early it is more difficult to cure, and requires more judgment in handling; or a mistake may IK; made, and we leave the hay to spoil in the mow ; while away on in July when the grasses are comparatively dead before cutting, it may be put together immediately af ter the mower, and as this is quicker done, many men do not seem to care about the quality of the hay. Hay put together in this dead stute cannot be compared to that cut while in the green Htate and properly secuitd. The remark is often made by igno rant men, that "cattle and horses will not eat so much during the winter, of the late cut and ripe hay." This we IwlieVe to l>e true, because they do not relish it, and consequently waste more, and more important still, it is very true that neither cattle, horses nor sheep will thrive so fast on this kind of hay as on the early cut and nicely secured hay. We should not go to work at this business as though getting it ofl'our hands was all there is belonging to iU It is probably the most im(>orLant of our summer's work, as so much depends on the quality of the hay, whether we feed it out or design it for sale. If the for mer is the practice, it is very desir able to have our hay contain all its excellence. The stock in the follow ing spring will com|>ensnte for the l>ctter feed, while to feed the late cut or dried up hay will bring the stock out lean and poor, Junlcsa an extra quantity of grain is fed. And if the hay is put into market, the sweeter and nicer the quality, the higher in proportion will be the price obtained. The first crop coming under notice is clover. This cannot be left lar in to June before cutting. There is a proper time, and that varies with the season. This time is, when a major ity of the heads are in full blow, when a very few heads have withered, and a few not yet out. This time secures the greater weight und the most nutritious elements; and will be secured in better condition than if cut earli c r, and l>c much sweeter and less liable to get dusty than if a ma jority of the heads are dying off. There seems to be an unsettled ques tion as to the Itcst method for curing Clover. Many prefer to put it into small bunches immediately after the mower. One advantage in this sys tem is in preventing the leaf from falling off; also in keeping it more protected from the dew during the night, Ido not sec any advantage in this if we have nice hay weather. I admit, in a showery time it is more, secure from damage. I have found no better plan than to spread it, or turn it over when a little wilted after the cuttting, and get it securer! as soon as it can lie made in good order. By the cocking system it is so much loDger on hand, and rain may fall during the time, and very little rain will Bpoil the richness of this kind of hay. I prefer tho quicker plan. It may be well, if nearly ready to put away and too late in the day to haul, to put it into good sized bunches late in the afternoon, as the dew, when in this stage, lakes off consider able of the sweetness. Clover, well secured is the best feed wc have for sheep, young cattle and half feet! with nice fine hay for milch cows. If clover gets lodged before beading out and is inclined to rot on the ground, I would prefer to cut it before many heads had bloomed, for if left remaining on the ground flat it will never be sweet and of good quality. The different grasses should IK; watched and not ullowed to stand too long before cutting. The blue or June grass should be cut early, and when secured without getting too hot in the mow or stack, is the very LrA of all grasses for milch cows. Yel lotv butter can be made while feeding on this hay. But for cattle, and es pccially cow h, it should lc cured so as to retain as much of its greenness as possible. Timothy, the principal crop over a large section of country, is often left till the seed has commenced to hard en, and sometimes even till the seed is ready to fall oil. This system is altogether wrong. The stein has become too dry, the leaves withered, and the nutritious qualities are gone out of it. We believe it should lie cut while perfectly green, immediately alter the bloom has fallen, ami if there is a Inge quantity to secure, should even le commenced before this occurs. My experience has been that horses like it better, and if de signed for other stock it is much bet ter. This grass is often allowed to remain too long before secured, con sequently is too much wilted. In our hot days of haying time it is soon cured, and cannot very readily be put up too soon. I have often re marked that more hay has been injur ed by the hot sun in this country than by rain. And since the mowers have become general, the custom is to rush down the grass, and get too far ahead of hauling. It is better to be a day or two longer at the worn and secure it properly. It is not very good policy to cut the second growth; this is hard on the'meadow. But under favorable circumstances it may lie well to cut a portion of the clover the second time, for feeding to lambs in the fall and early winter, and when secured in as green and sweet condition, this is the very best feed for sheep, espec ially for lambs. But very few men succeed every time in the curing, and if not properly cured the hay is almost worthless for fodder. Implement# —There are so many mowers that almost any that are ad vertised, properly understood and well cared for in the way of oil, sharp knives, Ac., will do the work satisfac tory. Every farmer should have a sulky rake, as a hoy can drive and manage the horse and easily attend to the raking ; and if the farmer himself has to do the work, after the harder and hot work of the hay field, it is a rest for him—quite as easy as a bug gy ride. One hint more. As the corn field and other work w ill engage the atten tion ami IMJ very pressing up to the time of commencing haying, be sure to have mower and' necessary tools put in proper order at your leisure, previously. If the guards to the mower knife are blunted or the edges rounded much, lie sure to get them laid over. If this is neglected, the mower should not be blamed if it refuses to cut tho grass nicelj'. Butter for Long Keeping. Dr. J. Higbc refers to a paragraph in the iY. Tribune aboul "granu lated butter, in barrels of brine, reaching London from America, said to lie fresh and nice," and lie requests full particulars as to process of mak ing, pneking and shipment. The mode of gaanulating butter is to churn the cream in the usual way till just before it is ready to gather— till the hutter will separate from the buttermilk, and rise to the top like cream, which it will always do be fore gathering. At this 'stage the contents of the churn arc cooled down to 50° or 54° by introducing cold water or brine, and the work finished by churning slowly. The butter will then form two fine pellets or gran ules, instead of into one solid lump or a few large lumps. The butter thus granulated is separated from the buttermilk in any convenient way, and washed cither in cold wnter or brine till the water will run off clear; two washings are generally enough. A tight cask of the size de sired, and suitable for holding butter, is preparer! beforehand, ami filled partly full of brine as strong as it can lie made from pure salt. Into this the butter is put as soon as washed without any working or salt ing. If cnougli is not made in one churning,- the butter must be kept down under the brine till the cask is filler!, and then headed up tight. Through a hole in the hear! any lit tle vacancy that may exist must lie filled iierfectly with brine, and the hole plugged. It is then ready for transportation or long keeping. When wanted for use it may be taken from the cask and pressed into nny solid form desired, and the brine adhering to it will season it about as moat people desire it. If wanted freah it may be washed in cold water, when it will be as fresh and roay aa when it came out of the churn. The salt for the brine must tie of the purest kind, or the butter will be bleached by lying in it. FKKH young chicks early in the morning, ami as late as they can see to eat at night.

Birdscll, of "Clover Htiller" fume, says in the Clover IjeaJ: My observation in regard to clover and clover need raising has been greater than that of many, on account of hav ing followed threshing from rny youth, prior to rny invention, and many sea sons have run four machines. I have always noticed that whenever we found a job where there was a large yield, that it was where seed 11041 been sown one bushel to five or six acres, mown the last flays of June, and plastered after I the first crop had been taken off. I have seen a field when one-half had been mown and got off before July Ist, and the balance of the field not till two j weeks later, and the seed that was | started first yielded 34 bushels pef acre, : and the balance { bushels per acre, the | difference 3 bushels. This, you see, was j 'juite a loss to the rais r, and the hay first mown equally as good as that which was mown last. I have raised | seed myself that went 4< to the acre. I have also taken clover from the field in three different conditions, and laid . away in the dry, for the purpose of | knowing when was the best time to cut seed clover. The first state was then dead ripe; second, when handsomely brown; and third, still greener, and, when thoroughly dry, rubbed out the j seed ami put the three piles on a plate, and could see no difference. That | which was cut the greenest was just as plump seed a* that which was dead ripe. 1 his shows that the head receives enough sustenanceJrom the stalk after it is cut to fully mature the seed, and, when cut a little greener, you can save ulwost every seed. turn when the dew is on, so that the bolis will not rattle off.
