W'IIKN diguing the early potatoes,
we ntoo.l by the wagon, an<l UH the
pickers brought their baskets and
i buckets and emptied them, we care
fully selected specimens ol medium
d/.e, taking c are that they should l>e
smooth, well-formed and well-ripened,
and laid tlicru on one side, until we
j have secured several bushels, which
were as nearly as possible perfect of
j their kind. These have been put
iway with great care and will consti
tute our seed for the next crop. We
believe that if such care could al
ways be bestowed, we should hear
less complaint than we do of varieties
"running out.' 1
WK recently noticed in some of
our agricultural exchanges—we fail
iust now to recall the names of the
papers, and cannot, therefore, give it
1 proper credit, as we would he glad
to—a suggestion that the harrow and
! the roller he kept in the field as it is
! being plowed for wheat, and used
I upon each day's plowing IK;fore it
gets too dry. The idea struck us as
' a good one, conditioned that the soil
is in a favorable condition. It so
happens that we find our fallows in
i '.his desirable condition this week—
| the fourth week in August—and have
adopted the plan very much to our
I satisfaction. In practice, having two
! teams at work on the field, we put
! one to the roller, and the other to the ,
harrow when they return to the field
after dinner, and dress up the land
plowed during the previous twenty- ;
i four hours.
WK have just finished (August 18,)
taking lip the early potatoes and
; have to chronicle a rather disgusting
, state of ntlairs. They were planted
upon corn stubbles without manure,
relying upon the manure remaining
in the ground from that which was
applied to the corn, to produce a
crop. It did not prove sufficient,
and as a result of this, and lack of
moisture, the crop was not much
more than one-half what it should
have been. This was bad enough,
but to make it worse a white grub—
the larva of the May l>eetle, or June
I bug, spoken of in another column on
this page —had taken possession of
| the ground and very badly injured—in
many cases destroyed most of the po
tatoes that ware produced. We could
not have imagined it possible for these
|H-STS to IH> SO numerous. Tliey were
quite as abundant, numerically, as ;
the potatoes, and could I>e picked up
by handtuls in each rowr ns thrown
out by the plow. In many cases we 1
found two, and in nt least one in- j
stance three, of the maiirnudcrs in a
single tuber, snugly stowed away in
eaves which they had gnawed out.
At least four-fifths of nil the pota
toes dug, bore marks of the ravages ]
of the vermin and in many eases n
large proportions of the tulicr was
eaten away. We hear complaints of
their ravages in other parts of the
country.
A Great Plough.
The largest grading plough con
structed for any railroad company in
this country will soon lie delivered
Ito the Chicago, Milwaukee ami St.
Paul Hail road Company. Its weight
is 2500 pounds, the jandside and
I share alone weighing 750 pounds.
1 The mould lioard is 9 feet long, 26
inches wide and weighs IPO pounds;
landside, 6x2 inches and 9 feet long;
share, 6 feet long, 15 inches wide,
one-half inch thick ; standard, 3 feet
8 inches long, 18 inches deep and 10
inches thick ; the coulter weighs 200
pounds; the clevis is of thickly
wrought iron, and measures 5 feet in
length. Vba plough is to be drnwn
by a locomotive running on a tempo
rary track, and is calculated to
handle more dirt than 2000 men
could. It will be used by the con
struction forces on the extension of
the Dakota and Hastings division of
the road.
Tint evidence is accumulating that
apples keep better in molat, or damp,
cellars than in dry ones.
Something Abont the White Grub.
Mr. Charles lb Zimmerman, of
Dayton, Ohio., lately read a paper
upon the insect enemies which give
so much trouble to the farmer, in j
which lie pnid his respects to the
May beetle us follows:
The larva of the May beetle or white
grub, as it is popularly called, feed* on
roots, and has quite a fancy lor Straw- .
s-crry roots, but it is by no means con- :
fined to them, eating the roots of most j
trees where finer roots, such as grasf j
and weeds, are not on band. A few
days ago I bud occasion to dig up an
old stump ot :t peach tree, diameter
about six inches, where I found seventy
five of these grubs, eating the decaying
buck and wood, which shows they can
get a living on quite a variety of food.
The beetles lay their egg., in sod, in
matted strawberry beds and at the col

The grubs live three years in the

One of the best preventives is to plant
m such lands only us have had thorough
cultivation for at least three years pie

sluggish, on sheets and destroyed.
In another part of the same paper,
Mr. Zimmerman lias thin to say as
to antidotes to insect pests in a gen
eral way:
Tor general remedies. Paris green and
London purple are the most effective
where a strong poTon can be applied.
I'bey arc not soluablo, or only a small
per cent., hence to use them with water
it must he continually stirred. A
tablespoonful to a barred of water will
, be a strong poison lor any insects.
Pyretbrurn powder, when fre-li, is
death to insect life and fiarml—-- to
plants and animals.
Nothing is more deadly to insects j
(ban oil; it obstruct* their respiratory
organs, which are situated on the side*
1 of the abdomen.
To mix oils with water, first combine
them with milk, then dilute to the d<-
-ired degree with water. Hot water is
one ot the simplest and cheapest renie
dies and always effectual.
T):e Care of Harn'-ea.
From ihw Aawrif ati F-rm* r
A harness that has la-en upon a
horse's back several hours in hot or
rainy weather becomes wet; if not
proja rly cleaned, the damage to the
leather is irreparable. If, after be
ing taken from the horse in this con
dition, it is -hung up in a careless
manner, traces and reins twisted into
knots, and the saddle and bridle
lning askew, the leather when dried
; retains the same slut|M- given it while
wet, and when forced to its original
form, damage is done the stitching
and the leather. The first point to
l>e observed is to keep the leather
soft and pliable. This can only Is
done by keeping it well charged with
oil and gtca*o ; water is a destroyer
of these, but inud and the slimy
moisture from the animal arc even
more destructive. Mud, in drying,
absorbs the grease ami opens the
|>ores of the leather, making it a
prey to water, while the salty charac
ter of the JK-rspiration from the ani
mal injures the leather, stitching*,
and mountings. It therefore follows
that to preserve harness, the straps
slioulil IK-washesi and oiled whenever
it lias liectt moistened by sweat or
soiled by mud. If a harness is thor
oughly cleaned twice a year, and
when unduly cx|K>sed treated as we
have recommended, the leather will
retain its softness and strength for
, many years.
Cii'KH ViNKo.Mt.—When cider is
intended for vinegar it should Is
made with the same cleanliness as if
intended for drinking or keeping,
j and the casks into which it is p-.it for
fermentation should lie equally sweet,
and if old whiskey casks are used it
I improves the cider as well for vine
; gar as for drink. There should l<e
I nothing added to the juice, as pure
i juice is best. The latter the npples
the bettor the vinegar, and cider
j made late in the Autumn from fruit
I rich in juices, is much better than
that from windfalls nnd early-gather
|ed fruit, a cider is I letter for the
: same reasons.

Value of Corn Fodder.
We have Jong Ix-cn of opinion that
corn fodder i* held in too little es
teem by many, if riot most farmer*,
j and that because of lliis much profit
i which might be derived from the
corn cropi* permitted to slip through
their finger*. Ris particularly grat
! >o' n K have our good opinion of
. the value of this coarse bed so em
phatically seconded by n wlrrti
larrner a* is done in ilic following
paragraph, which we quote from one
of \\ Ai.iio h always M-r<t<iblc article*
in the J'rncti"il I 'trim r
"Corn fodder has been my main
deperub nee for rough f ed for the hut
ten years, and I have during that
time often wintered ten or fifteen
head of horse* and cattle without
any hay. I have made a careful
study of the comparative cost end
value of hay and corn fodder, ils ac
ceptability to the stock, the amount
of waste, and the best method of dis
posing of that waste. The result of
these investigation* has been to con
vince me that corn fodder fund by
that I mean mature but not dry. well
cured and put in burn or stack before
w inter) is the most palatable, econom
ical and satisfy ing to stock of any
rough feed. There is no hay made
in all the range of grasses that has
given HO good satisfaction on my
farm, and I value fodder from cut-up
corn at two-thirds the price of good
liny I believe a pound of it net is
worth as much as a pound of hay,
but there is, of course, more waste
about it.' 1
Plowing ar.d Pulverizing.
Am*?ltttt Ajrri ltuni I r N-j<* rr'
Our first plowing, some fifty* years
ago, was done with a wooden mould
board. Then came in the wrought
iron mould, hammered out by the
blacksmith. About forty years ago
the introduction of the east iron
mould-board, with replacable points,
caused no little excitement among
farmers, n* these could be produced
so much more cheaply than wrought
iron, and Ising harder they wore
longer. Hut on our stony farm the
gain was partly counter-balanced by
the breaking of the "points,and
often of the ''land-side" arid even
mould-board itx If. A few year* later
the steel rnould-board an! points
came into use. and subsequently the
chilled iron plow*.. Hut during all
these few years of improvement, and
from time immemorial before tli.it,
the chief ends aimed at have been
the |>crf< < ting of the old instrument,
in firm, in material, in the frame, in
coulter-, guiding wheels, etc. The
principle lias Ix-cn the same, viz., the
cutting oil of a furrow slice and in
verting it more or les perfectly.
Hut there lias all the while Wen
the fee ling that .b-thro Toll w as 1 ight
in claiming that thorough fiuJrrruing
the soil was </K great requisite of
cultivation. And t > secure this we
have had a succession of implements
devised, as cultivator*, rotary dig
ger-, rotary harrows, ,\| ,*t of
them have been valuable su far as
they have helped towards dividing
th" soil, ao as to provide a finer seed
IMII, Hut we are inclined to Wlievc
that f'linrles K. Sarkell ha* now such
modifications and addition* to the
common plow,as to amount to a rad
ical and most valuable change in its
mode of o|RTation an 1 in the desir
able results product!. Here is a
general idea of it: First a surface
plow which i readily and quickly
adjusted to rut oil two, three or
four inche* in depth of the soil, and
turn it well over into the bottom of
the previous furrow. Following this,
upon the same liearcr or frame, is
another plow, adjustable to take up
a sub-furrow of any desired depth.
Hut this second, or stilvslice, is not
merely turned over in a mass upon
the top of the first one with only
such breaking as the lifting and turn
ing over will secure. (Juite differ
ent. I'pon the frame is nn open
work wrought iron w heel or cylinder,
say 10 inches in diameter, which fol
lows upon and smooths down in part
the first turned slice of land, with its
gras, stubble, weeds, etc. The sec
ond furrow is thrown into this revolv
ing wheel, and carried round and
round on its inside, among its teeth,
against its open-work bars on the
rim and outer side, and it is so brok
en and pulverised that it drops out
upon the buried sod or surface fur
row. The result is, that the soil is
pulverised quite as much as it could
lie done with roller and harrow, and
without any trampling or pat king by
teams; it is left light and fine and
j in excellent condition for receiving
seed. There is also proviaion for at
taching both seed drill and fertilizer
1 distributor. In brief, at one opera
tion the soil is plowed, finely divid
ed ; sod, stubbie, etc., buried, and
seed sown. There are several sim
ple, ingenious device* for raising and
lowering the plows and wheels, for
various depths, for turning at the
| side of the field, for selftranaport
| ing, etc., etc., that would need en
gravings and lengthy descriptions to
explain them fuily.
"TIIKKR U no unbelief:
Whoever plants a seed beneath the sod,
And waits to see It push away the clod,
He truaU in God.''
