1 Jiik Agriculturist's first prize for
the best essay upon "The Family
Cow, and I low to keep her,'* was
awarded to a Canadian woman.
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.
A LiTTi.K turpentine mixed in the
feed of the young chickens every day
or two goes far toward preventing
gapes, and sulphur used in the same
wa}- materially aids in keeping them
free from lice. Use a little care and
gumption, and the results will be
gratifying.
WE learn that Mr. W. I. Chamber
lain, whose name is familiar to our
readers, has been elected secretary of
the Ohio State Board of Agriculture.
This is putting the right man in the
right place. 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.

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
f<ecal matter. I applied it to plants
varied in their character, and ranging
over most of the different subjects
usually cultivated on farms and in
gardens, out floors as well as under
glass. As a matter of course the
extent of dilution was varied accord
ing to the natural ability of each
kind of plant to take strong food.
Things like rhubarb, celery, rasp
berries, black currents, chrysanthe
mums, mangel wurzel ami cabbage,
as will be easily understood, grew
vigorously with doses of a strength
that would have destroyed slower
growing things. 1 continued the
experiments for several years to see
what would be the effect on the plants,
particularly such subjects as the
black currents and raspberries, and
in no ease did I find any ill effects ,
where the liquid was given in moder
ation, and never in a stronger state j
I than the plants could l>car. 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.
