h.rery farmer in All annua/ exprrxenet
dmcovert tame thing of value, ll'mfe. it ami
tend it to the. "Agricultural Editor of the
Dkmocuat, Hellefnnte, J'enn'a," that other
farmer may hare the. benefit of it. Let
communications be timely, and b. cure that
they are brief and veil /minted.
I)o not let the weeds get a start-
They arc never so easily killed as
before they eome up. In nothing else
that demands the good farmer's at
tention is it so important to "take
time by the forelock," as in the des
truction of weeds.
To secure early lima beans, and an
abundant crop of them, train them
on comparatively low [hjlch, not more
than four or at most five feet high,
and cut off the vines when they
reach the top of these [Miles. This
attempt upon the life of the vine
stimulates into early and abundant
fruiting.
'EnK currant is among the most de
licious and widely useful of our
small fruits, and the most easily cul
tivated. Clean the grass away from
about the roots, mellow the ground
thoroughly, and mulch well with long
manure or half rotted straw, and
you will have abundance of fruit.
The currant worm may give a little
trouble, but is not a formidable foe
if attended to in time. A dusting or
two of powdered white helibore when
lie is young, and la-fore he has time
to raise a second generation w ill put
a quietus on him.
The potato beetle seeuis more
plentiful and ravenous than ever this
spring, and unusual watchfulness w ill
be required to save our crop. Where
the ncrcagc planted is small, daily
hard-picking of the old hard shells 1
at the time of their first appearance
is quite practicable, and very efficient;
hut where this cannot Ik* done, and
they arc permitted to de|M)sit their
eggs, the crop of youngsters which
will soon ap|s-ar will be destructive.
Then the l>est remedy is Paris (Jreen
or London Purple. These are equally
effective, and arc applied in the same
manner. We prefer the latter be
cause its color makes it easily dis
tinguished, and it is much cheaper
than the former. In the use of either
we are decidedly in favor of water as
the medium of application. There
is no possible danger to be appre
hended from their absorption by the
potatoes, but we have known families
to be seriously poisoned by using let
tuce grown next to rows of early JK>-
tatoea in the garden, and to which
the poison had been applied in its
dry form. The wind had carried the
poison to the lettuce. Hy the use of
water this is entirely avoided. Of
the I'urple, one ounce to three gallons
of water is the strength directed by
the manufacturers. It is best to mix
this amount with three or four times
its bulk of flour, rub this up to a
thin paste to avoid lum|ts, and then
add it to the water. The flour will
help it adhere to the leaves, ami pre
vent its being so readily washed off
by showers. It may I* applied from
a common watering pot, but a more
economical way Is to put it on with a
whisk made of straw, or fine brush
tied in a compact bunch, or part of
an old com broom.
A Hew Enemy to the Corn Crop.
The Chester Daily Timr* states
that John Flower, of Chester town
ship, Delaware county, has lost about
six acres of very promising corn. It
had come through the ground nicely,
and a new kind of a worm, a little
green one, cot nearly every stock off
even with the ground, and has neces
sitated the replanting of the entire
field. It is said that salt will pre
vent these worms from making an on
slaught on the tender sulks, and
when the corn comes through again
Mr. Flower will apply aalt to It. This
worm does iu work quickly and pret
ty thoroughly.
IT la not the big milker, when
fresh, that is the most profitable cow
in the bertl. It is rather the medium
milker, that hangs to her work the
season through.
Out great mistake made In
breeding is in having the breeding
stock too young—in breeding the
sows before they have become well
grown and matured.
Pari* Green on Potatoes.
Much anxiety has been expressed
in regard to the consequence of the
use of Paris (Jreen on potatoes, as a
preventive of tin; potato bug. The
following certificates of an experi
ment, the past season, will be of in
terest, both to growers and consum
ers. We may add that J'uris (Jreen
is probably the best and surest reme
dy for the cucumber bug, apply it
just the same as to potatoes for the
potatoe bug:
This is to certify that last July 1
opened a hill of potatoes and put one
ounce of the bent Pari* green into the
hill around and on the potatoes, which
were about one-third grown. They
were dug Septtembcr 11, and laid away,
without washing till October 12, when 1
took them to Prof. C. •>. Thompson, of
the Worcester Free Institute, for an
alysts. 1 herewith submit his report.

My licar .Sir—J have carefully exam
ined the potatoes left hero by you on
the 12th of October, and find
1. Considerable Paris Oreen adhering
to the skins of two of the potatoes,
which is easily removed by washing.
2. When the skins have been washed
and then thoroughly boiled, no trace of
arsenic is shown.
.'I. When the starch, after peeling the
potato, has been boiled, no trace of
arsenic is found.
4. No trace of arsenic appears in skin
or starch after washing and boiling.

Making Clover Hay.
From lb# ('lutrr l/-*f
Those who have not cut their
! clover for hay while in the early
bloom, and have not taken care in
, properly cutting it, have hut a poor
idea of what good clover hay is. Or e
| of our largest farmers—more because
; his other work would soon begin to
crowd him in his efforts to take care
j of all—began his haying much earlier
than any of his neighbors, and against
the adviee of several of them. A
large force was set to work, and all
his hay was cut in early bloorn and
properly cured and got in. The re
; suit is that he has far more hay in
weight and bulk than he estimated,
compared by all former experience.
1 It is in better condition, Ix-cause he
bad good weather, while those who
waited had much of their hay caught
in rains and washed. This farmer
; says the same bulk seems to go about
I one-third farther in feeding than
when cut in a nearly ripe state, !*>-
i sides having his stock looking in
I better condition, lie has lecome an
; enthusiast for early haying.
It is certain that good, nutritious
hay can only la- made by cutting the
grass early—before the seed is form
es!—while the juices are in the stalk
and leaf. When left until the grow
ing ceases, and the rijiening process
commences, the juices become ab
sorbed in the seesl formation and the
woodv fibre of the stalks, thereby
losing the most valuable and nutri
! tious of food elements. In cutting
the hay care should lie taken that it is
: properly wilted and cured without
' undue bleaching by the action of the
sun or rain. It is thought a safe es
' timatc in saying that half of the hay
; crop of the country is materially
! damaged and often nearly destroyed
by careless management in curing
j and stacking.
The Garden on the Farm.
President McGregor, of the Ox
ford Farmers Club—as reported in
the Farm and Fireside, of Ohio, says
that we run too much to the great
staples, and the average farmer has a
contempt fur eggs, butter, honey,
etc.; he looks upon them as small,
|ssldling business. The truck patch
| will pay in dollars and more in health.
All the interests of the farm depend
. on health, and the road to health
often runs through the truck patch.
At a dish of rod raspberries and
cream the farmer forgets his weari
ness. Apiarists tell us that the egg
which under ordinary rearing pro
duces the working bee, if putin a su
perior cell and fed on the royal jellj\
makes a queen. So the diet and sur
roundings of our children haTc much
to do with their characters. Many
children hare been injured by ginger
snaps and painted candy, but by ex
tract of while clover and ripe fruits,
never. Many luxuries arc beyond
the reach of farmers, but strawber
ries they ran have, and these he be
lieves to lie a means of grace. He*
doubts not that hog-and-hominy has
often been the means of back-sliding.
IT is said that kerosene oil slightly
sprinkled on the floor of the horse
stables will serve to abate the nuis
ance of flies. It may be shaken out
of a bottle through a hole in a cork.
A pint will last a week for the pur
pose.
FOR a safe, study, nutritions
healthy, universally available and
everywhere procurable feed for wean
ing lambs, there is nothing compara
ble to wheat bran.
I woui.n advise all poultry raisers
to burn all the old nests as the hens
are taken off with their broods. That

Young Chickens and Insects.
The practice of excluding chickens
from the garden, especially in mid- *
summer, is bad both for the chickens
and for the vegetables. The young
chicks will not thrive in confinement,
as in freedom, ami the growing plants
are in a good measure protected from
insects by the chickens. We have
never succeeded better with young
broods than by putting them with the
mother, in the vegetable garden.
The mother is kept confined in a coop,
and the chickens have free access to
her through the slats. She follows
her instinct in scratching over the
ground under the coop for worms
and grubs, and after a few days the
coop is pushed along to new soil.
The chickens are regularly fed with
scalded meal, or boiled screenings ;
they supply themselves with animal
food from the garden. The chickens
arc too small to do any harm to plants
that are well started, and yet they
pick up an immense number of in
sects. The more highly the garden
is manured, the more rapidly do in
sects multiply, and the greater is the
need of birds and fowls to keep them
in check. The chickens can go be
neath cucumbers, squashes, Isans, to
matoes, etc., and pick the eggs and
worms from the underside of the
leaves, where they arc generally
found. They eagerly chase every
moth and bug that flies, and if one
alights within striking distance, it is
sure to be devoured. When the
chickens are large enough to do in
jury to the plants, they arc easily re
moved to other quarters.
To Grow Teeds.
Ffrin th* Amervam
Thoroughly prepare the soil by
plowing, harrowing, and manuring—
all this costs money—in fact prepare
the soil as if a crop of roots or grain
was expected, then sow or plant the
seed of some agricultural plant, car
rots are good, but turnips will do.
and leave the soil to take care of
itself. At the end of the season, if
there is not a full crop of weeds witb
seed enough to stock the whole
tieighltorhood it is not your fault,
for as a grower of weeds you have
done your part- The truth of this
statement is founded on an extensive
series of experiments, in this and
other countries, that settled this
|oint long ago.
As incli of water is barely enough
to moisten a dry soil furrow-deep,
and to do so it must have consider
able time to overcome the repulsion
of the dry particles and to gradually
soak through. This affords a good
idea of the time and labor required
to give even a garden bed a watering
equivalent to a soaking rain. A cubic
foot of rainwater weighs 1,000 ounces,
or 02$ |K>und* aWnrdujtois. Thia
cubic foot, spre/d an inch thick,
covers 3*4 feet.
Tiik lowa timber act is aomething
to be proud of. For every acre of
forest trees planted and cultivated for
timber, the trees to be not more than
twelve feet apart and kept in a
healthy condition, SIOO is exempted
from taxation upon the owner's as
sessment for ten years after each acre
is planted.
Potash is an excellent fertilizer
for the grape Tine. Fork in around
the roots a few |>ecks of wood ashes.
Cow dung contains a large portion
of potash and but a comparatively
small araouqt of nitrogen, conse
quently it is a better fertiliser than
horse manure for the grape vine.
