We will make renewed efforts to make it more and more worthy the caretul attention of every farmer in Centre county. DKY COWS and springing heifers may be wintered on refuse liny fodder and straw, provided they receive nourishment to keep them in fair con dition; but dry cows in winter, when prices for dairy products are at their height, should not be tolerated. "Bonanza Fanning" Not Desirable. .Mr. W. I. Chamberlain, in an arti cle describing the "bonanza farming" ! of the great West, and showing its disadvantages to the ngriculture of the country, very truthfully says : Smaller farms, with a recuperative rather than an exhaustive system of i agriculture, will in time, then, ho a necessity in Ilakotn as well as elsewhere. The land must he farmed by men who live upon it and intend to make it their 1 future homes, and not hy those who go ; there year hy year in summer time and j strip it of one more year's crop and then ' retire to warmer climes for winter. Harrowing Wheat. I offer my experience for the benefit j of others. I.sst March I harrowed one field of wheat und sowed clover on it. ; Another field, same soil and condition, j sowed clover hut did not harrow. The j wheat on the first did the best, and the j clover took better, both doing inoder- j atvly well, hut the harrowed field better ; in both respects. Wc find the above in the corrcspon- i dence of the I'met i rat Farmer , and > quote it liccausc it is much like our | own experience this year. We had j two fields of wheat, one of fourteen and the other of near eleven acres, on "bottom land" which lias hereto fore persistently refused to "catch in clover." In seeding last fall, we plowed fields in narrow, high lands ami after the wheat was in, made a ! "round" in each of the "dead fur rows," thus deepening them, and giv ing the water an opportunity to es cape. In consequence of this, the land dried this spring much ear lier than usual. Wc waited until it came into good working order, and then harrowed—with sloping toothed harrows, made heavy with chains, and sowed the clover seed, immediately behind the harrows. Asa result we have better fields covered with as fine and dense n crop of clover as we ever saw, and this on unfavorable land and in a season in which the vast majority of our neighbors arc com plaining of the entire failure of their seed to "catch." 80 far so good; but there are those who will ask, Was not your yield of wheat lessened by the harrowing ? In reply wc simpl}- state facts: This wheat was sown upon wheat stubble, because the for mer crop was not what it should have been, and the clover, sown in the usual way, without harrowing, was an entire failure. Neither crop of wheat was measured, but in the opin ion of all good judges who observed them, the latter which was harrowed, was at least double the former, which was not harrowed. Sheep as Wealth Producers. The gentle sheep has always been a wealth producer. The latter end of Job "* hleesed, for he had 14,000 sheep," which would mean to one of us an in come of just as many dollars per year, if not twice as many. What an invest ment for capital, that brings 50 or 60 per cent, yearly, with almost the cer tainty that appertains to U. 8. four per cents. A Hock will easily increase 00 to 70 per cent, yearly, and half that will be compounded after the second year. This rate of increase is enormous and sufficiently points to the vast profits that are made from successful sheep rearing. So says a correspondent of our enterprising contemporary, the Rural Neva Yorker. Perhaps there is a good dog law in bis community. The farmer who lets all the liquids of his barnyard run to waste is a spendthrift, however "closcflsted" he may be with money. Various Suggestions. From tlii* Country UMIIIMHUII. There are a number of good prac tices which farmers might ho induced to adopt if occasionally reminded of theni. Among them we give the fol lowing ; Copper wire and copper straps are often very convenient ami of much use in repairing tools, doors, grates j and parts of buildings. Copper wire is about as easily handled its twine, and is more unyielding and durable. Its flexibility gives it great advantage over iron wire, and it does not rust. Copper straps for nailing are better than leather on one hand and hoop iron on the other. Copper tacks are good for mending old harness, as they are easily clinched. Provide boxes or shelves with apartments, and place in appropriate; divisions, distinctly marked, all re fuse screws, nails, bolts, rivets, sta ples, tacks, Ac., and replenish them as needed by purchases at hardware stores, procuring all the kinds and sizes you ever want. Such things always at hand, costing perhaps but a lew cents, may save you dollars in time when repair is needed at a busy time and laborers are waiting. Teach every person in you rem ploy, as well as yourself, always to put every tool back in its place as soon as done with, no matter how great a hurry lie may be in. Better spare half a minute now in doing so, than for you to hunt half an hour wilh a team or man waiting. We know men who waste whole days in the aggregate in hunting for misplaced | tools, and in asking eight or ten dif- { ferent persons on the place where they are. Keep your cellar properly and well drained; allow no decaying matter in it; prohibit the throwing of i slops in puddles at the back door, j ami never allow sink pipes to become choked or to emit foul air. Much of the sickness in the country is caused by such bad air. Keep all the hinges and latches about the house oiled, to prevent wear and squeaking. Go over them once a week with oil and feather; ; make regular work of it. Keep gates properly greased at latches and hinges, and see that they do not sag. The lalmr of dragging a sagging gate is as hard as it is useless. To prevent sagging,see Vol. VI of Rural Affairs, j p. 219. Use coal ashes or wood dust, or both, in all your vaults daily. This will prevent all bail odor, rendering the cleaning as easy as shoveling sand, and will prevent all danger of wells becoming poisoned by the drainage. Give pure water to animals. Cows are sometimes watered froiy wells in the manure yard containing impuri ties, and the milk is thus more or less defiled and poisoned, the butter taint ed, and the owner wonders why his family sutlers so much from siekness. If you expect good healthy pigs and wholesome pork, let them have pure water, pure food ami constantly clean quarters. We have actually seen the careless and dirty character of some j farmers photographed in their filthy pigpens. Use petroleum as a preservative of all exposed woodwork and tools. It is very cheap, and penetrates the pores. It is good for all wood build ings, good for gates, farm wagons, rakes anil forks, and for all rustic work exposed to weather. It will pay its cost back again at least one thousand per cent. On rainy days, examine you mow ers and reapers, and all other machin ery of a similar character ; clear ofr j ali the grease on the axles which lias been hardeded with dust, and put all in good running order. Kerosene applied to such parts will enable you to clean them easily. When any tool, harness, wagon, or anything else breaks do not wait till you need it for use liefore repairing it, but get it mended at once. If a horse loses a shoe, do not woit till he becomes lame, but have it set imme diately. Economizing Fodder. CnrrMpnaOmrp of Connlrj (Untlomnn. In seasons of short crops of hay, we arc often put to it for ways and means to keep the customary stock through the winter without their fall ing away in condition. I have found that much can be saved by keeping the stock comfortable, and that a smaller quantity of feed will keep them in condition than is generally thought necessary. Not that stock will thrive without food, but that with proper preparation and kind care otherwise, a large saving can be made in hay and fodder. Every one knows that if animals arc kept warm and otherwise comfortable, it takes less food. Therefore the first aim should be to give good, warm, well-ventilated shelter, and keep them clean by suit able litter and one or two cardinga daily. This latter accomplishes an end which few fully realize. Then again a considerable saving is made by putting feed in the most assimila ble form, so that unnecessary labor of the animal ia saved. All unneces sary exertion must lie paid for in food or waste of body. The labor of comminution ia, in part, saved to the animal by catting or chaffing. In this way, a poorer, coarser quality of food may be mix ed with the better, and be made to perform the office* of the better. A larger proj>ortion i* assimilable if cooked, or even well wet with hot water, ami allowed to lie in bulk to Hoften for twelve to twenty-four hours. It is astonishing to see how clean the coaser cornstalks are eaten when cut and treated in this way, especially if a little seasoning of salt, bran or meal be added. Straw, swale buy, and much other coarse fodder which is often thought of little worth, is thus made to do valuable service. The value of swale hay for feed is often greater than it has the credit for, where properly used. I have found that it is more economical in purchasing cattle feed, to invest the larger proportion in concentrated feed, like corn meal, shorts, bran, Ac., rather than buy fine hay. Stock not only does better, but the money sav ing is not inconsiderable. Hay can not be taken from a mow, carted to a distance and again unloaded with out a larger per cent, of waste than is generally supposed. Brevities. Farmers will always icmaui poor so long as they allow others to do their thinking. Have your pullets began to lay yetlf not, why not? See if you can find out. If bottom lands are dry enough ditches should be cleaned out and new ones opened where required. Return to the soil what is taken from it, or its equivalent, ami then with ordinary cultivation the soil will increase rather than diminish in pro ductiveness. In a part of our garden which was plowed, last fall, in narrow lands, re-plowed and finely harrowed this spring, all seeds came up well, while on the adjoining ground, which was not fall-plowed, the seeds sown at the same time, came up so poorly that we had to re-plow the land. To the beginner in gardening, such experi ences offer most valuable deductions. On the deepening and turning over of the soil, before winter, depends much of next season's success. " Weathering." Krum flir American Agriculturist. This term is often used among farmers, and is certainly a good one, as it expresses as much of Hie nature of the process as can be contained in a single word. \> hen land is left without a crop, and is exposed to the action of the air and sunshine, the winds and rains, frosts and other natural agencies by which the origi nal rocks, th.ough long years, have been converted into rich soil, we say that it is "weathering."' In other words, there is no crop to take up the nourishment as it is formed in the soil, and there is therefore an accu mulation of these food materials in the soil, and it gradually improves by the process. The throwing up of the soil into ridges in the autumn, that there may be a greater surface ex posed to the weather, is an instance of winter "weathering,'" while fallows are the most common instances of 'weathering'' during the summer. A Large Wheat Crop. The Vnllry Argut, of Merced coun ty, California, says ; J. L.Crittenden, of Cottonwood, on the west side, in forms us that he harvested this year, on his farm, a field of 150 acres of wheat that averaged lifly-one bushels to the acre—on an aggregate 7,<550 bushels. The ground was irrigated in September, 1879, and plowed deep with single plows, and harrowed well, after which the wheat was sown, and harrowed in and no more irrigation. The product is classed as "gilt edg ed." He says it is the best w heat he ever saw. Mr. Crittenden is now irrigating the same field for a crop next year, and designs giving the same treatment as proved so success ful last year. FEW realize the necessity of man uring orchards. When once planted, the trees are to remain on the same soil thirty or forty years, at least. They, in a few years, exhaust the food in the soil that they are most fond of, and then they will cease to be productive and thrifty unless properly fed. OF course, the great majority of the poultry sold in market is cross bred or grade stock, and varies great ly in size and quality. Many poul terers think if only their stocjc is big, and have yellow legs and skin that is all that is required ; but the time is coming when poultry buyers will exact quality rather than size in the fowls they buy for table use. FOR storing onions there is no bet ter place than a dry, cool and airy loft, where they can be spread out tbinly, and looked over for the re moval of those which may have be gun to decay. Warmth and moist ure are fatal to the keeping of onions, and much handling ia almost equally so.
