Ph. not set the mowing machine to cut too close to the ground, of course close mowing will give you a greater weight of hay for this year, but, par ticularly in the case of timothy, the next season's crop will suffer in con sequence.

The Ohio farmers arc to lie congratulated. Excellent work in their interests may lie expected from the State Board under Mr. Chamberlain's direction. THE Legislature of New Hamp shire, did a wise thing when it pro vided for the payment of a bounty of one cent [>cr pound, not exceeding $7,000 per annum, for ten years, on sugar made from beets grown in that State. The aggregate amount of sugar consumed in the country is enormous, and the profits arising from its adulterations with glucose prove too great a temptation to ho resis ted by the average sugar importer and refiner. To encourage the home production of real sugar at cheap rates is the best way to do away with this adulteration. THE potato bug is here as usual, but in seemingly greater than usual nuinlicrs. By the aid of Paris Green successful, but somewhat expensive war has been waged upon the ver min, and we gladly welcome an in scticide equally efficient and much cheaper. This we'find in London Purple. By the kindness of Messrs. If. •I. Baker and Bro., of '215 Pearl street, New York, we are trying the two articles side by side, and find them equally effective. They are compounds of the same poison, ar senic, nnd require to be treated alike so far as application aud care are concerned. The difference in price is owing to the fact that the Paris Green must bo made for the purpose, while the London Purple is a waste product of certain chemical factories, and is merely saved, instead of being thrown into the sea as formerly. Rectangular Churns and Granular Butter. I advise the use of the churns com ing into use which revolve without in ner paddles. They churn nearly or quite all of the cream, and produce a superior quality of butler' 1 have used the rectangular ctyirn for seven years, and find it works easily, churns soon enough, and makes good butter. Avoid all five or ten-minute chums, that have an action on the cream. Such churns injure the grain of the butter and will be sure to tell against the but, ter when it is placed upon the market. The bo*t temperature at which to churn in cold weather is G2 deg., and GO deg. in warm weather. Churn only until the butter has come in small particles, and never allow it to mass before draw ing off the buttermilk. Draw off the buttermilk into a clean vessel, so that, if any small, particlea of butter escape, they can be skimmea off and returned to the churn. Let the butter drain well; then wash with pure cold water. Mind that your water ia pure, and use it freely until the buttermilk ia expell ed. Then butter will be found In little particles, just ready to recieve the salt, which should be good, and one ounce to the pound. Therd is much other wise good butter spoiled with common barrel salt, and too much of it. I think I have seen fully three ounces to the pound in butter offered for sale. It bad better be used for fertilising the Und and salting the stock. Incorporate the salt while in the churn; it will pass through it aa easily, evenly and perfect ly as it would if it, was dry wheat. Only a few revolutions of the cburn will bis required for its accomplishment. We find the above in a. paper on "Practical Butter Making" read by F. C. Cnrtlti, of Wisconsin, at a late convention of tlio Northwestern Dairymen's Association. Doth the rectangulur chum of which the writer speaks, made by .Messrs. Cornish A Curtis, of Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin, and the granular process of churning and working the butter are now in our Bection of country. We have been using both for some time, and j are delighted with the results. The j churn is simply a Bquare box, as its name indicates, hung on gudgeons attached to the diagonally opposite i corners, upon which the churn itself revolves, without dashers, paddles or anything else inside of it excepting the cream. Churning is nothing more nor less than breaking the little globules in the cream which contains the butter, and in the old style of dash churns, whether of the up and down, or the revolving pattern, this is accomplished by the beating of the paddles against the cream, which J in the "Rectangular" they are brok- j en by permitting the cream to fall from corner to corner as the box re volves. Nothing can be simpler, and j in our opinion, nothingcan be better, j It churns with less power, and is more easily emptied and washed than any other we have ever seen. The , process of making, salting, washing and working the new style of granu lar butter can all be performed with it to perfection, as described above by Mr. Curtis. The granular form of butter is coming to be quite "the thing," and a well-cooled plate of it on the table is decidedly appetizing. Dy using the "Rectangular" churn, and following the directions sent with it, it is quite as easily made in this way as in a moss, and is much hand somer, as well as better. Extracts and Commenss.

Agricultural Books and Periodicals.

Orange Judd & Company, Publishers, 245 Broadway, New York. Large Bella for Bheep. Caaaitta M. Clay, of Kentucky eaya: "For ten yeara I have uaed bells on my sheep, and have loat none in that time by dogs. The sheep-killers are timid and the bells frighten them ? The ordinary sheep bell ia too small. I use cow bells; but hope to have an intermediate size manufactured. Dif ferent sizes and tones are pleasant to the ear—to the sheep cultivator, an agreeable band of music." Experiments in Liquid Manuring. Mr. T. Raines, a well-known horti cultural writer of England, favors the Gardener's Chronicle with a valu able report of experiments in the use of liquid manure, of which we make room for the most noteworthy paragraphs: Some years ago I tried the effects of manure-water made from urine of he various domestic animals—horses, cattle and pigs—each kept separate and free from soakings from solid fcar. In all i eases the urine was considerably stronger, and consequently required ' more dilution, when the animals were fetl on dry fowl than when they had access to plenty of green stuff, as i when out at grass, or with as many j roots as they could consume. The | relative strength stood thus—that from the horses first, pigs second and ; cows third. Rut the strength alone was far from giving the true line as to their ! comparative manurial value, either from things of an annual nature, such as ordinary garden vegetables, or fruits, or pot plants, whether the latter are soft-wooded ami quick growing or hard-wooded and of slow growth. With all, especially those of an enduring character, the cow urine tol.l an unmistakable tale, not alone in the production of wood ami foliage unequalled in vigor,but plants to which it was given exhibited a I disposition to produce flowers in 1 quantities that I have never seen ' result from the use of any other liquid fertilizer. Another important matter in connection with the use of this urine is, that plants to which it is applied regularly for a number of years continue to make growth ex ceptional}' strong without any indica tion of exhaustion such as invariably follows the use of manures that arc | only stimulative in their effects. This | verdict I find is confirmed by several extensive plant-growers whom I have advised to use it; but, like everything of a similar nature, being strong, it must l>e used with caution—even for such subjects as chrysanthemums it should IK- diluted to the extent of something like six or seven parts of water to one of urine, for weaker growing plants still further reduced, and as with nil liquid manures, only given when the plants arc making growth. At the time a plant is put out in the open ground, or placed in a pot or other confined space,solid manure in quantity limited by its nature and strength, as also by the ability of the plant to absorb and asstmulate food more or less freely, can lie given; but beyond this we cannot go, as if too much manure is present in the j soil its effects arc identical with those which result from an animal taking food stronger than the digestive organs arc able to digest and assimu lato. It thus follows that after a | time the manure first present within ! reach of the roots gets exhausted ; it then becomes a question of provld ing more in either a solid or liquid state, the former usually in the shape of surface dressing, the latter by soaking the soil to which the roots arc restricted. The use of solid manure, except in a highly concen trated state, ia generally inconvenient for such plants aa frequently moat need assistance, that is, when they have their roots confined in pots or similar appliances, with no access to fiKxl beyond the limited space in which they thus exist; it is then that manure-water becomes the most con venient, and often the most beneficial in its effects, for in this way food is brought immediately within the reach of the whole number of hungry months, the feeding fibres, quicker than by the use of solid matter laid on the surface, which takes time to get washed down in the ordinary process of watering. There can be no question tiiat the time of active growth in both roots and branches, the Hpring and Hummer, Is the proper season for using manure water; and where plants exist thst want assistance in this way,especially such as are naturally of a bard-wood ed, enduring character, I should ad vise thst in all cases some be given as soon as growth commences in eith er the roots or the shoots, otherwise tho first efforts of the shoots will be weak, and no subsequent application of manure during the ensuing Sum mer will in that case strengthen them so as to make the collective growth equal to what it would have been if he food they required had been with in their reach at the time they began to grow. A matter requisite to keep in view in, that at the time when any plant is just in the height of its growth it will then bear manure-water being given more freely than cither in the beginning or later in the season. Another thing of quite as much im portance, and which those who are first commencing to grow any kinds of plants will find it to their advan tage to note, is, plants have not the power to reject the food that is brought in contact with their roots in the way that manure-water is ; wheth er tiie water they thus irnbibe is suf ficiently or overcharged with food, they must take it. If it is too strong the effects are seen either sooner or later, but often when much mischief has been done. It is always well to keep on the safe side—frequent applications are very much preferable to stronger doses, even when they are only slightly too strong. As a rule, the slower the growth a plant naturally makes, the less able is it to bear manure-water in a strong state. Through the ab scerice of this fact being fully seen and acted upon, there are many plants that are generally sup|>osed to be unable to bear manure-water at all, such as the slowest grow ing hard-wooded greenhouse plants, heaths in particular; yet it is in the case of these subjects, more even than stronger-rooted things, which can bear partial shaking out and renewal of the soil, that assistance by the use of liquid manure is often most requir ed. It is scared}' necessary to men tion that whenever manure-water is used, even to the most vigorous-grow ing plant, which, consequent strength, is able to bear that which would be death to others weaker, the liquid should always be clear and transparent, otherwise the sediment it contains is sure to clog up the soil, and make it too impervious to water afterward. Make Hay Early. A Bucks county farmer (and they | are all good farmers down there) sjieaks after this fashion of his expe ! rience with early cut bay: "1 he clover was in full bloom, the \ orchard grass juat out of bloom. Kaked j it up the second day after cutting and , hauled it in the third without rain. | bate in the winter we came down to it |in the mow ; the cows waded right in !aa they would to fresh grass. They increased perceptibly in their milk and j fall oil" again when brought back to | common good hay. I am convinced ; that such dried grass will keep cows as well without feed as the average of hay will with feed. It answers the same purpose as roots in preserving the con dition of cattle, ami I think ia much less costly and troublesome than the , latter. It does not go so far in feeding as older cut hay, but the aftermath is better and the ground improved more.'' Cleanlinees next to Godl inesa. ' From th* American DaJrymaci What is defective in the methods usual on those farms where the grass I is the sweetest, the freshest and the most abundant; where the water is the purest and where the crystal springs are the coldest; where, in fsct, nature has done her part to the fullest? I should answer that the sole trouble is a want of cleanliness; first, in milking, in which sufficient ! care is not used to clean the cows or the milker's hands; then in the man agement of the spring houses, where ventilation is scarcely thought of; then in freeing the butter from the buttermilk ; after that in using poor salt—again a want of cleanliness, for impure salt is unclean—lastly, in packing and storing the butter. It is a seasonable thing for makers of butter to ponder over these points, ami sec wherein they offend against this one needful virtue in dairying, l>erfect and entire cleanliness. When to Out Wheat. Frvin Hi* Fftrai Journal. There is a right time to cut wheat and it is as soon as the grain has passed from the milky to the doughy state. It will then not shrivel nor lose weight, the grains will not be rough and harsh nor the bran brittle. At this period the bran is thin and most elastic, can be best separated, and will leave the largest proportion of white flower. From this time, un til it becomes over-ripe, the bran will continue to thicken and become more j brittle, find as the bran thickens and increases in weight, the yield of flour will decrease in the same ratio. Wheat cut in its doughy state must not be left lay in the hot sun to dry suddenly, but should be bound anil shocked at once, and if capped, all the better so as to cure as slowly as possible. Karly cuttiug has the ad vantage of less loss by shelling in the field, the straw will be brighter and more valuable for feed, and the sheaves will pack in much leas apace than when cut after being folly ripe.
