It will pay you to do so. Try it. I'se less manure if you must; but harrow the plowed ground until it is smooth, and mellow. 'litis lias been a favorable season , for a "catch" of clover, and we have hilt few complaints of failures. There are some, however, and in such cases we suggest that a second sowing made upon the stubble in August or early in September, will generally : repair the damage, either with or without harrowing in. although har ! rowing is the most reliable practice. The cost of the seed is but a trill.-. ; compared with the loss <! a crop of : clover, and changing the proper ro tation of crops established upon every well regulated farm. "IN faithful, patient horses re- J quire extra care at this season to pre vent galls. When an animal sweats profusely, the skin easily scalds if ir ritated by the collar or other parts of a harness. I>r. A. 11. Baker, vet- I erinary surgeon, is authority for the statement that injuries of this kind may IK: relieved and prevented by I freqm nt bathing with either warm or j cold water, to cleanse the parts, and j afterward with a strong solution of | ''otnmon salt. Another important preventive measure IS the taking of • special care t<> clean the collar, be fore harnessing, of all accumulations of dried sweat. Wr. invite the attention of our farmer readers to an article in anoth er column entitle ! "spare the birds." As the season advances our farms will 1M: overrun with a horde of self styled "sportsmen," armed to the teeth for a war upon everything that flies, from a humming bird to a crow, leaving our crops at the mercy of the insect enemies which bid fair to de stroy tlicm, and certainly cause NS ! great loss. Without special pcrmis -ION from the owner every one of these alleged sportsmen are a tress passer, and subject to heavy Jienal tics under the law. The farmers have their remedy in their ow n hands, and we advise them to make free use of it- Spare the Bird*. ' "T. ftf lb# The birds are the friends the farm ers have, and why the gun is ever kept ready, loaded and handy to shoot down every bird that appears is a mystery. We have laws for the preservation of "game" (birds), the object being to protect the birds as much as possible during the breed ing season, in order that we may shoot them afterward. Hawks and owls, not being "game" birds, do not come in for their share of protection, and consequently in winter the binds that csca|ie the marksman arc des troyed by them. Hut the principal warfare is car ried on against the quail, the bird that nliovc all others is most useful to the farmer, if he will only allow them to be of service to him ; but he keeps them thinned out to such insignificant numbers that in spring time they are not sufficiently numer ous to be of service. A pair of quails will sometimes hatch NS many ns twenty young ones at a brood. As they are not flyers they seek their living on the ground. It is hardly credible to know the great amount of food that is required for a brood of young growing quails. They are hungry all the time, as young birds generally are, and the most indus trious work is required to sustain tliein. They feed on insects of all kinds, rejecting none, and no doubt if lained and treated kindly, so that they might lie tempted into the pota to field, would eat the beetles, for they have no time to loose in seeking foci for their large broods. But as we prefer to shoot theni we must pay the penalty of our extravagant s|iort. The seeds of weeds of all kinds arc relished by quails, the wild |K<A being their favorite luxury, and when in the fields of growing grain they rarely disturb it, as they seek their food downward, preferring the grubs and worms. The cut worm, that has already been an expense of millions to the farmers of this country, would I stand but little chance if the quail* were allowed to hunt for him. And tlio common beetles of all kinds, borer moths and moths that deposit their cg-_;H in the ground, would Is: kept within circumscribed hounds, for t hey could not exist near the lim it of territory allowed to the quails. 1 ll(! Jifotrrtiitll ID h(lwl;N tiii'l owl", they not being game birds, is so com plete that the wren is almost exter minated by them in Pennsylvania and Now Jersey, and it was once very common. The wren is an iri- Hectivorous bird, and so is the wood pecker, whose notes on the trunks of the trees we used to hear so often, but which has been so completely "protected" that the sportsmen have made them almost extinct. Nearly all the game birds arc insectivorous. If we wish to be rid of insects we must not keep up this incessant war tare on their natural enemies—the birds. It will not do to protect the birds in spring and shoot them in au tumn. The only argument sports men have is that the birds would lie coine too numerous. We will accept that when we see them so numerous that there are not enough insects to feed them ; but as long as we annual ly witness the immense destruction of crops by insects we will insist on more birds, less "protection for sports," and fewer sportsmen. Value of Ddf'-n-nt Fools. i t tn ? Kurml N * \ "ti.> t. Market prices are based on real , values in a ureal measure. If a ton of straw sells for live dollars and a ton of bay for ten, it is because the bay i- twice as good for feeding as the straw. Hut if a dollar's worth of corn meal be added to a ton of straw and the two are fed in place of a ton of hay, and the hay is sold, there is a < 'ear profit of four dollars. This is an < vimple of the whole business of selecting and using foods for cat tle. A great number of experiments have 1 i n made to discover the real value of different kinds of cattle fi| and many years of stud}* have biin given to this subject by chem ists, s, that we have in a small corn | ns the n i-ults of all these wars of labor. In the following table are ghi n the money values of the (lifter en' substances named as compared with good bay at one dollar per 100 pounds. That i-. bay is worth one dollar pi r 100 pounds, or one cent a pound, or twenty dollars a ton. to feed, when i aeli of the other sub st.ancrs is worth the sum set against it in the column:— TAIM.K oi Till VA 1.1 I - of FF.KDIM) M nSTANCRH. h I'd •if f "he f Value.

It seems to lie a characteristic fail ing of most coachmen to lay the lash upon a horse that exhibits fear at an object in the street or lieside the mad. Mr. Itergh, President of our Society for the Prevention of Cruel ty to Animals, say in the organ of that society, what every reasoning being ought to know, and that la to never whip your horse for becoming frightened at any object by the road side, for if he sees a stump, n log or a heap of tan-bark in the road, and, while he is eyeing it carefully, and alsiut to pass it, you strike him with the whip, it is the log, or stump, or the tan-bark that is hurting him in his way of reasoning, and the next time he will lie more frightened. Give him time to smell all of these objects, and use the bridle to assist you In bringing him carefully to those objects of fenr. Pnni'Kß underdrainiug, by keeping a warm, dry surface, will prevent, to A givat extent, If not entirely, that thing so fatal to some crops called frost-upheaval. Thick and Tl<in B<;eding. | IW, th. liunl x< Vorkrt. Considering the question of thin thick seeding of grain, then; is this to 1m; Haiti : Every garden, wbclh er vegetable or flower, shows that those plants which have plenty of room are larger and more vigorous than those which are crowded. Even though the hoil in no richer or even poorer, every part of the plant re ceives its due share of sun and air. The richer the soil, then, the room within certain limits a given plant requires. To sow three hush els of wheat per aero upon strong land well prepared, would 1M; u> crowd the plants and thus to deprive them of the air, light and moisture necessary to their lull development. Half, perhaps one-third, of that amount of seed would, under such conditions, furnish the plants with the needs of a healthy existence. \\ e should then have larger sterns, larger heads, heavier grain and an in creased power of resisting diseases and the attacks of insect pests. The exact amount of seed which should l>e sown per acre, however, must so vary according to soil, preparation, climate and the characteristics of the varieties sown that, guided onlv in the avoidance of extremes liy what we know of the laws of plant life, no rules can he laid down. It is a matter for each farmer who should know all ahout those conditions. t,o determine for himself. Cultivation Pay?. C<tf 1f Citjrihhal. C "We have had a dry season—May decidedly so. We planted a field May 7 and s •_ rolled and harrowed it as soon as planted. On Monday, a week after planting, I said. 'Wil liam, what had we Utter do with our corn V Said William : '1 wouldn't do nothin' with it till it rains.' We run through it that week with the hull-tongues as den-ply as we could sock them down. On Sundat I said ; 'William. WO will start in the 00 rn again in the morning.' The African's eyes rounded in dilation. 'Whv, you kill you co'n. shu, you plough it so much this dry sjiell.' We have ploughed it ov< r once weekly, and vj far as I can see it has grown quite as rapidly as in the seasonable and ex ceptional favorable weather of last year; it lias retain* i throughout that jx euliar black green, indicative of most rapid growth, going to prove thai growing torn, il - ill. ientiy cul tivated from the start, will not sutler from the lime it comes up in drought until tasselling time, of course 1 would not < xpect it to ear well with out rain, no matter how much ploughed." Good and Cheap Pork. CI. C Mi. In th. \ T Tiil.ot . I have found that it costs as much or more to winter a young pig as it does an old hog. ami have abandon ed the practice of wintering anything but breeders. A breeding sow may IK- allowed to have a litter of pigs in the spring which can 1* sold, ami the old one will get in fine condition, almost, if not fit, for butchering, on clover, cornstalks and roots. And wc count the income derived from the pigs as an extra gain. There is always a demand in the spring for young pigs at from to 4 each for fattening, and a higher price for breeding stock, which makes the profits on a breeding sow equal to that of a cow with a great deal less labor and less cost of keeping. Hy a little pains taking and effort a farmer can make market for bis pork at a price more remunerative than what is usually paid for it in the carcass. Townpeople will buy and eat more pork if they know that it has been grown and fattened on wholsome food. Training the Colt. Had horses are more frequently made than born. It is very much in the bringing up—in the wn'y a colt is oared for, and the manner in which it is broken. Firmness, with kind ness, giws very far in making a val uable horse. The colt should early learn that it is never to lie deceived; that it is to le encouraged and re warded when olndient, and punished by the withholding of caresses when disobedient. The same natural qual ities that make a horse vicious will, with pro|tcr treatment, make one of those intelligent and spirited horses that all desire to JKISSCSS. The true trainer of colts is gentle, loving, firm nnd thoughtful ; ami the young ani mals under his charge partake of the same qualities. Chloride of Lime. A French journal states that chlo ride of lime scattered about where rats ami mice frequent will eause them to desert the spot. A solution of it brushed over plants will effect ually protect them from insects. If scattered over ground infested with grubs, it will free it entirely. Hunch es of cotton or tow smeared with a mixture ol chloride of lime ami hog's lard, and lied about in different psrts of a tree, will guard it against the attack of inseols, slugs, grubs, etc., and drive away any already in pos session. FACTS and experiment go to prove that a cow high in flesh, will yield more butter in proportion to the yield of milk than one in low flesh.
