Every farmer in hm annual experience
diseovere eomething of value. Write it ami
tend il to the. "Agrieultural Editor of the
Dkmoi kaT, Hellefonte, I'enn'a," that other
fnrmern may hare thr benefit of it. Let
eommunicationn be timely, and b' eure that
they are brief and well pointed.
It is a rare thing to have so long
continued a low range of the ther
mometer as prevailed since the 10th
instant, at this season of the year.
It seems almost impossible that
fruit shall not have sulfered to a very
great extent. We shall be much in
terested in reports from those of our
readers who sowed their clover seed
during the lirst ten days of the
month. We fear many will mourn
that "clover is not a good catch this
year."
The old QUAKER said to his son:
"John, never get trusted, hut if thee
gets trusted for anything let it lie
fur manure, because that will help
thee pay it back again.
Tukkk is no "guess work'' and no
shade of uncertainty as to the man
ner of producing good crops. Plants
must be fed if they are to be pro
ductive and the farmer who users but
little manure should not complain if
iiis crops are small.
A New York farmer states that he
uses only coal gas tar to prevent the
ravages of the potato beetle. He puts
a gallon of tar in a tub, over which
he pours boiling water, which is al
lowed to settle and cool. This is
sprinkled over the vines with an or
dinary sprinkler. A gallon of tar,
costing T.*> cents, suflices for several
acres of i>otalocß.
1 AM fully convinced that farms
can never grow old and worn out if
clover and sheep arc grown on them.
One with the other is Irettcr than
either alone. Taking into considera
tion the benefit our farmers derive
from sheep, we can aiford to sell wool
very cheap; so cheap that 1 do not
care to say how low the price can IK-.
The safety of sheep stock i-- another
point not always considered, as, if he
dies, he leaves his wool or |*dt to
pay his loard since his last clip.
He dies out of debt to bis owner, and
if the owner does not secure the
goods and chattels of the deceased,
it is not the sheep's fault. In fact,
from the hour of his birth he in-gins
to pay bis board, by scattering ma
nure wherever you allow him to run.

Relentless War on nil Insects.
ri.tU *i| h)% U' *t>!
if boxes are placed in the orchards
| with holes small enough to keep out
! the blue birds and our pugnacious
sparrows, the wrens will build in
them, but not unless the boles are
small enough for them to barely en
ter. Reing very small in size, the
wren will sink such boxes for pro
lection, and they will wage relentless
war on all insects.
Washing tho Bark
Country <s't>t!"Tu*n
We have always regarded good cul
tivation as more im|>ortant than wu*h
ing the bark of fruit trees with lime,
soap or potash, and that is one reason
why trees which are washed grow lict
ter than others is Is-oaum those who
take the pains to wash tin- bark 'ake
lieiter care in other ways. Never
theless, the wnshing of the bark may
benefit the trees to a certain extent,
at the same time that the appearance
will lie improved. If lime is used,
it should lie ao thinly mixed with
water as not to form a crust, or to
give a white coating to the bark.
Potash should lie so weak as not to
corrode the bark of young trees.
One of the best applications, how
ever, appeal's to lie a solution of aloes
in warm water, which readily de
stroys the insects and their eggs in
the bark.
Where and How to Apply Fortfl
icers.
From <hw Agrimltariet.
It in often diflicult to decide—for
btm-ytrd or stable manures, or for
any artificial fertilizer—whether to
apply it on the surface, or bury it
deeply. Here in a hint or two. If
not strong enough to injure the first
tender roots, a little manure near at
hand gives the plant a good send off,
like nourishing food to the young
calf or other animal; the aftergrowth
la much better if the young animal or
plant ianot dwnrfed by imperfect and
insufficient diet. Therefore, drilling
innocuous hand fertilizers in with the
•eed is useful, as is putting some
well-rolled milnlire or lynched ashes
into hills of corn, potatoes, indeed
with all planted seeds. But there
arc good reasons for distributing moat
of the manures or fetilizers all
through the toil, and as deeply as
the plant roots can possibly pene
trate. The growth and vigor of all
plants or crops depend chiefly upon
a good supply of strong roots thu
stretch out far, arxl thus gather food
over the widest extent of soil. If a
nourishing stalk of coin, grain, or
grass, be carefully washed, so as to
have all its roots or rootlets attached,
there will be found a wonderful mass
of hundreds and even thousands of
roots to any plant, and they extend
oir a long distance, frequently
several feet—the farther tho belter,
to collect more food and moisture.
I'ut some manure or fertilizer in place
two feet away from acorn or potato
hill, or from almost any plant, and a
large mass of roots will go out in
that direction. So if we mix manures
or fertilizers well through the whole
soil, they attract these food-seeking
roots to a greater distance ; arid they
thus come in contact with more of the
rood already in the soil, and find
more moisture in dry weather. A
deeply stirred soil, with manure at
the bottom, develops water-pumping
roots below the reach of any ordi
nary drouth, and the crops keep right
on growing—all the more rapidly on
account of the helpful son's rays
that would scorch a plant not reach
ing a deep moisture.
Kocp tho Lambs Over.
< n. .( Cov&try Gtnllcttiq,
It ia profitable to keep lambs over
one winter and sell in spring as
"shearlings," clipping the fleece early
in the spring. I speak now of "South
downs." With judicious feeding.
Southdown shearling lambs will
weigh 150 pounds, and if the market
is watched will bring 0 cents per
pound, bearing in mind the high
favor in which Southdown mutton
stands compared with other sheep.
This price can easily be obtained from
year to year. The wool of the .South
down always tops the list, and i*
worth on an average 40 cents per
pound.
I am yearly being more convinced
that tire farmer who sells a lamb
when 4 months old commits a griev
ous blunder to iris own hurt. Let us
figure a little : The value of a fleece
of say 7 pounds, at 40 cents per
pound, isfg.SO: the carcass of, say
150 pound*, at fi cents, is 80—in all,
$ll.BO. iH-duct $ the selling price
of a lamb at 1 months old, and we
find the farmer has $-.<• f or the
keeping of the lamb from 1 months
old until sold as a shearing.
Soulhdowns are hearty ; more can
1m- kept to the acre than any other
breed ; their wool and mutton always
brings a high price, and in other re
sjM-ets for general utility they stand
away ahead of all others. I have
not any Kouthdowns for sale, and
these lines arc penned hastily for the
purpose of eliciting still more infor
mation upon the |oint touched as to
the keeping of all iambs till they are
"one shear."
Cultivation of Millet.
<Vr (f .1-lit G.nllwi.i.
Some- ten years' experience in
growing millet for a forage an<l bay
crop, baa given me atich a very favor
able opinion in regard to it. that 1
tliiirk it is more profitable to farm
without meadow*—relying upon clo
vt r, in rotation with ot her grain crop*
and millet, to supply the want of the
*toek for bidder—than to devote so
much land to meadow*. This crop is
rich in the albuminoids, so essential
for the production of milk, and 1
know of no dry food that is more
valuable, and 1 esteem it aliovc the
liest timothy or red-top for that pur
pose.
I always sow a full bushel of 50
pounds |H'r acre, for several reasons :
When sown thickly, the growth is
more to foliage than to stalk, and by
crowding, a finer quality of fodder
is prfiduced. The priee of seed
usually ranges from $ 1.25 to $2 per
bushel. As last summer was a most
remarkablo season to mature crops,
it is to be presumed that prices will
lie low the present season.
When a person has once commenc
ed to raise millet—and finds that he
has a genuine variety of any of the
popular sorts —the lictter way then is
for him to save his own seed, which
can le very cheaply done if he has
a tight barn floor. As no one will
usually need over ten bushels of seed,
a fourth of an acre of the best of the
crop can be allowed to stand until
thoroughly ripe. It can lie easily cut
and brought to the barn, and the seed
when dry, can be trodden out with
horacs or colts, and then cleaned up.
II the seed ia not all removed no losa
will result, as the straw will lie fed
to stock. Another way is to run it
through a threshing machine, saving
the greater part of the seed.
Top-Dressing is Always a Benefit.
n F.
It was noticed, a long time since,
that in sections where the noil was
very or only moderately fertile, the
dust blown from highways on the ad
jacent fields acted, in some cases, as
s strong, and, in nearly all, as s bene
ficial fertilizer. The conclusion was
thus jumped at that limestock rock,
ground fine, would act in tbe same
way ; but experiments with it did not
justify the expense incurred, snd thst
method of ferUtizing wss abandoned.
Nevertheless, practical men have long
since discovered that a top-dressing
of any kind has an influence for good
on crops ont of ail proportion to tbe
amount used. Thus, for exsmple, on
the strong cisy lands of the winter
wheat regions of Illinois, where the
i * / - . . ■ . ■ .
Noil lacks nothing for the wheat crop
but vegetable matter, and nothing for
com except that of moiature, It in
found the lightest kind of a top
dressing of manure acts marvelously
In increasing the yield of the cereals.
ly some these astonishing effects are
attributed to the fungous spores in
the manure, which act as yeast acts,
and set up the phenomena of nitrifi
cation. which seems to be essential to
ali soils where great crops of the
cereals are produced. Just why these
things are so we do not yet know, but
we do know that a top-dressing of
almost any kind iB a benefit, both to
the crops and the land, and may be
indulged in, in almost any case, with
the certainty of getting well paid for
the work done.

Points for Sheep Growers.
At the annual meeting of the Kan
sas Wool-Growers' Association, held
at Topcka in January last, it was
substantially agreed to as the expres
sion of the meeting that,as a geneiai
thing, washing is not likely to prove
profitable; that dipping in tobacco
juice w ill eradicate lice, with which a
number of flocks were reported
troubled ; that the bounty on wolf
scalps should be increased, and the
legislature earnestly urged to pass
an effective dog law ; that straight
brmling, rather than crossing of the
different breeds, was most desirable ;
and that millet, given in reasonable
quantities, was not harmful to breed
ing ewes.
Sure to Come.
U ?t Arnold, In Farmer*' Advocate
The large lots of milk from the
protracted drought of last season
should admonish dairymen of llie
danger of letting the spring go by
without making Rome provision in
lime for supplying green food in a
mid-summer drought, which, for a
longer or shorter term, will be very
sure to come. A stitch in time, etc.
Hut no one need bug the delusion
that applying to one part of a farm
the products of another part, will
make one part rich without impover
ishing the other.
THE man who year after year, al
lows manure to lie in his barnyards
is pretty sure, sooner or later, to
lack the money to pay for phosphate
and other fertilisers.
