TIIK best advice we can give our
I readers for the season IS to pr<par<
i the laud for crops better than ever
before. 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:—

Don't Whip a Frightened Horse.
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?.

"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

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.
