THE current number of the ltural
New Yorker is its "Annual Fair Edi
tion," and it is a beauty. Forty-four
large ami very handsome pages filled
from end to end with matter of inter
est to every fainter. You can have
a copy without cost by sending your
address to Rural New Yorker , 34
Park ltow, New York.
WK wt-leome to our exchange table
this week, the first number of a new
aspirant for honors in tbe wide and
highly cultivated field of agricultural
journalism, with the appropriate title
of Farm and Garden, published by E.
L. Child, nt S. 4lh St., Philadelphia.
It has sixteen pages of small size and
very neat appearance, which la-ar evi
dence of careful editing, and are well
filled with valuable matter contribu
ted by some of tbe best known agri
cultural writers of the day. We wish
the new venture abundant success.
TOBACCO prices are "booming" w ith
a vengeance. The terrible drouth has
cut the aggregate of the grow ing crop
down to a fraction of last years pro
duet, and as a consequence, buyers
are on the alert, and urc willing to
lake almost any thing in the e'nape of
tobacco, nnd almost at tbe growers
own price. Tbe fortunate few who
are so happily circumstanced as
to have good crops this year, are
very fortunate. "Twenty-five cents
through" seems to be a common price
in Lancaster county, while "thirty
cents through" is often paid, and the
New Era hears of at least one crop
for which thirty-six cent* was refu
sed.
MR. J. T. COBI.K, Secretary of the
Michigan State Grange, when lately
asked for practical results, as evi
dence of the good work done among
farmers by the order which he so ably
represents, instanced, "a decided in
ctease of the cash system, and a very
marked decrease of litigation among
grangers." It the order could point
to no other good results of its being
than those accomplished in tbe dim>
tion named by Mr. Coble, and could
succeed in firmly establishing tbe
one, nnd entirely banishing the other,
it would have completed a word well
worthy its highest ambition, and
abundantly repaying all its cost in
time, labor and means.
The Premiums Not the Object.
WK seriously question whether nil
the money now in premium* at the
fair* would pay the actual expenses
of those who win it. It requires a
good deal of trouble and some ex
pense to properly prepare articles for
exhibition, take them to the gror.nds,
care for them while there, and get
them home again. It is evidently
not the money value of the primiumn
which prompts exhibitors. In speak
ing of this matter one of our contem
poraries aptly says:
"ll i* not the cup won at a boat- race,
that incite* young men to do no much
labor, spend so much time anil money,
and exercise so much self denial while
training, hut its possession is the sign
of victory."
And so of the prizes now at our
fairs. They are signs of victory in
one of the laudable contests in which
men engage, and {heir |>ossession is a
great stimulant to increased effort to
take rank Among the leaders in our
most important work. Hut a word to
those who are not winners, "Try, try
again." If you have learned how and
why your neighbor has succeeded in
out-doing you, you have learned how
to make your farming more success
ful in the future, and thus you are re
paid for your trouble and expense.
Ilesides we are naturally dependant
upon each other for our knowledge,
and each must contribute to the com
mon Bind ; and although you may
have failed in carrying home a prize,
you have done your share towards
making the fair a sort of practical far
mers school, aod we hava no £jnht
are all the better and wiaer for hav
ing clone this. You expect to ace and
hear tilings from which you will learn
valuable ieasons and it ia but fair that
you should contribute your quota.
In this connection we quote the fol
lowing paragraph from Farm and
Garden:
"Object teaching is one of the beet me
thod! of im|>arting inntruction and ob
ject lennon* are atnong the eaaiewt of all
leawjnu to learn. And at tbe fair object
lennone abound. The raoat profitable
breed of animal*, tbe bent labor saving
machine*, the flneat vegetables, and tbe
nicest fruit* are vhere exhibited and
enough can be seen at even the poorest
agricultural Fair to Ktimulate the ave
rage farmer to renewed devotion to hi*
work and increased enterprise in it*
prosecution."
Economy in Feeding.
The scarcity and consequent high
price of corn will cause every fanner
to be more than usually interested in i
the most economical modes of feed
ing it during the coming feeding sea
son. The real nulricious value of j
the corn cob has never been fully de
tcruiined, and there are great differ- |
onces of opinion, even among those
who have given considerable atten
tion to tbe matter, as to whether or
not it pays better to grind tbe cob
with corn, and feed it to stock, or to
shell it, and throw tbe cobs w hole into
! the manure pile. Tbe fact that the
corn crop is the most valuable one
grown by American farmers illus
trates tbe great importance, from a
money point of view, of more accu
rate and definite information as to
tbe most profitable manner of feeding
it. Much of the evidence already ob
tained is in favor of grinding the cob
and corn together, and feeding them
in this way. Dr. Nichols, one of our
most eminent chemists, states uj>on
the strength or an analysis made by
himself, that there is over sixty |>er

I of tbe Massachusetts State Uoard of
Agriculture, places it upon an equali
! ty, in nutritive value, with tbe stalk
itselt. In addition to this analytical
1 or theoretical testimony, ajountcom
i rnillce of two leading farmer's clulw
' in Connecticut, have made an experi
mental test in feeding pigs in which
, the tabulated results show a return
i of fifty-nine cents jer bushel for corn
when fed whole, sixty-six cents when
. shelled nnd ground, and over seventy
i cents when ground corn and cob lo
i gelhcr. If these showings be true it
is certainly time that the mass of far
mers and feeders throughout the
country know it. Of course there is
no lack of either theoretical or prac
tical testimony on the other side of
the question. What we need is more
of the practical evidence to be obtain
ed from experiments by farmers them
selves, and a wider diffusion of it
among tbe farmers and feeders, who
arc the parties most directly interest
ed. For the purpose of encouraging
further experiments in this direction,
Messrs. J. A. FIELD k Co. of St.
I-ouis, who manufacture a cheap and
very effective iron mill for grinding
corn and cob together, by horse pow
er, offer as premiums four of their

Cure for Foot Rot in Neat Oattle.
A neighbor recently applied to us
1 for a cure for an obstinate cose of
! foot-rot in a valuable cow. We rec-
I ommended mbstanlially the treat
: inent given in the following paragraph
' which we Lave since found in the
Philadelphia Hccord. The difference
was simply the addition of a little
• carbolic acid to the warm tar. It is
quite as good fur foot-rot in sheep as
in cattle, as we know experimentally:
There ar* many sorescattle which
if kept constantly washed clean with
cold water and kept free from dirt would
; heal of themselves, A very careful
herdsman says his practice in curing
I hoof rot is to thoroughly cleanse the
| affected parts with warm water and
| soap, and then apply warm tar between
the hoof. In very hud < a-e there will
fx* a large com to c<>iii<- out ; remove it
1 carefully with the thumb and finger,
j cleanse the cavity a* above with soap
' and water, and then fill it with warm
1 tar. Keep the parts thoroughly cover
ed with tar, even if it i necessary to
use a bsn'ftge. Keep the animal in a
j clean, dry pasture. It is no more liable
to utrect the whole system than any
! other ulcer. When once cured there is
1 no danger of Us appearing again unless
! from the same cause.
THE large eating capacity of a
good dairy cow is proverbial, which
will be easily understood if we make
a cursory examination of her produc
tion. Sup|M>sc n cow weighing 900
pounds yields 0000 jiounds of miik
'in nine months; this milk would con
tain *B9 pound* of dry matter, count
ing it 87 per cent, water. Here she
I yields times her own weight in
milk, while the dry substance in the
milk is twice that in her own body.
The cow is the most remarkable food
producer among animals. She pro
duces twice as much food in her milk
as does the beef animal of the same
weight in its gain in flesh during the
i same lime.
WllEJi clover ingrown for seed the
root* are the beat developed and con
tain the most nitrogen. This is the
reason why those farmers who precede
wheat with clover for a fertilizer. first
cut a crop of clover early and then
allow the second crop to go to seed
before plowing it in. The roots and
scattered leaves of clover make most
excellent fertilizers.—/ieirrf.
I'l LVlßixr. the wheat land, what
ever you do or fail to do : go on the
principle of the woman making goose
berry pie, who sweetened it all she
dared—and then shut her eyes and
put in a handful more. Work your
land till it is fine enough and then go
over it again. If you do not think
this will pay, try it on a strip through
the field and contrast it with the bal
ance.- Mural JVYte Yorker.
Tiif.rk are a great many farms and
fields that can never be cultivates! at
a profit. These if planted with forest
trees, such as chestnuts, oaks of dif
ferent varieties, pines and larches,
jvould produce a growth of timber
which would lc a source of profit,
and the energies of the farmer might
lie concentrated upon the best land,
and his manure could be applied
where it would do the most good.—
South and Wrti.
It never should be forgotten that
tile-drainage is not needed on lands
that have a gravel or porous sub-soil;
and that, even on soils that do need
it, drainage is only the basis for good
farming, and will never pay unless
followed by good farming.
" Enter me for a jackass," was the
double-barreled dispatch sent by an
honest farmer to the secretary of an
