livery fawner in hit annual erperienec
discover* eomething of value. Writ* it ami
send it la the "Agrieultural Editor of the
llkmoi rat, Uellefonlr, J'enn'a," that other
farmer* may hare the htnefit of it. Let
communiratu/ns he timely,oml be mire. that
they are brief and Iveil pointed.
By the time this reaches the farm
readers of the Dk.mochat, most of
their flocks will have been clipped,
and the wool nicely prepared for
market. Within a very few days
after this operation every tick on the
flock will gather itself together and
take a new departure for the more
comfortable shelter of the longer
wool on the lambs. This is the own
er's time of advantage. Make a
strong tea by boiling tobacco stems
—or if they are unavailable, a few
l>onnds of cheap plug tobacco—in
water, and dip every lamb in it, hold
ing there for a moment or two to
make sure that every portion of the
skin is reached, and then gently
squeeze and press the wool between
the hands, that the water may run
back into the vessel, and not be
wasted, ( are must be taken that
the tobacco water does not get into
the lamb's mouth or eyes. The ves
sel should be large enough to admit
the body of the largest lamb easily,
and the operation should be perform
ed by two persons. One can take
the land, by the feet, and dip it,
backward, while the other holds its
head in both hands, and makes sure
that it is kept "above water." It is
quite possible, we presume, to make
the decoction so strong as to sicken
the lamb, but we have never known
of an instance. Tobacco users—and
they are to Ire found on almost every
farm—will, of course, know w hat to
expect if he is permitted to "swallow
the juice."
NOTHIXO on our own farm is just
now affording us more satisfaction or
profit than the acre of rye sown last
fall for early spring feed. Just a
we anticipated, the supply of hay
and fodder, limited as it was by the
j "dry time," has about disappeared,
and, owing to the cold, backward
-pring, the pasture fields are not yet
in a condition to aield a full ration.
In this condition of tilings the rye
patch is a most capital resource for
bridge timber with which to fill the
intervening space, and our milk cows
arc most generous in expressing at
the milk pail their appreciation of it.
A bout August next, or thereabouts,
wc expect to need more bridge tim
ber, and now, while the rye is being
fed off, we are preparing for a liberal
supply by sowing patches of peas
and oats, with a grain drill, at the
rate of one bushel of each per acre,
and corn in drills three and a half
feet apart, at the rate of one half
bushel per acre. We know that, we
can give our brother farmers no bet
ter advice than to go and do likewise,
after reading in another rolumn of
this issue, "sowing eorn for fodder."
ORCHARD grass is not, in our opin
ion, properly appreciated a* a pastur
ing and soiling crop. The seed is
light and chsfly, ami one ami three
fourths bushels per acre is not too
much to secure good results. It may
be sown alone, or writh oats, but the
former is the best plan. Some of our
very !>est farmer* hold that it stands
at or near the head of the list of
crops for butter production. It is
one of the crops that can Ire cut
"early and often,'' and the aggregate
yield of three or four cuttings which
may las taken from it will furnish
more hay of first class quality than
any other grans in our knowledge.
Tiie prospect* for good crops
throughout the country are encour
agingly good, and the shortago of
last season points toward the main
tenance of remunerative prices. This

rist*.
We regret to record the death, at
hit farm-home in Needham, Mats., of
Thomas Whlttaker, for many years a
prominent contributor to the agricul
tural press of the country. He was
a willing worker in the cause of pro
gressive agriculture.
Jamkh Vick,the well known Beeda
rnan of Rochester, died on Tuesday,
the lfith ult. His life was a very
beautiful and useful one, and his
death will cause mourning, as for a
dear friend, in many a household.
In addition to his prominence as a
seedsman, Mr. Vick was a printer
and editor of long standing.
Hon. John C. Mokkis, President
of the Ntatc Agricultural Society,
died at his home in Pricndsville, Pa.,
on Friday, the 2Glb ult. Mr. Morris
was horn at Butternuts, Oneida coun
ty, New York, in 1822 ; was educa
ted at Cananduigua and ()xford Acad
emy and Troy institute; was a cap
tain in the war to suppress the rebel
lion ; was a member of the Assembly
from Susr uelianna county in 1870-80 ;
was elected Vice President of the
State Agricultural Society in 1865,
President in 1870 and 1871, and
was again elected in 1882, holding
the ollice at the time of his death ;
and he was also a member of the
State Board of Agriculture. Mr.
Morris was one of the pioneer breed
ers of short horn cattle in this State
and widely esteemed as an expert.
He was an earnest, intelligent and
• nergetlc farmer.
Summer Fallowing with Corn.
W \V. S Mim*ii, la lb* Trlbua*.
•Summer fallowing, ploughing, har
rowing, cultivating, or other tilling
land daring the summer without any
crops, has its advocates and praetis
cr throughout the winter wheat grow
ing lie 11 of our country. Whenever
j land is very rough and needs a thor
ough extraction of stones, stump sand
toots, or needs a summer campaign
against <juack, thistles, daisies or
other noxious vegetation, or is filled
witl grubs, worms, or other vermins,
or where a cold, tenacious, clayey
soil needs extraordinary pulveriza
tion, it may lie wisdom and economy
to keep such fields bare for a season,
but to do this work effectually the
farmer should change his usual char
acter, become a soldier, a destroyer,
a demon of rage and destruction,
sparing neither age, youth, nor in
fancy, and make a desolation as com.
plctc as war or fire.
To do this the farmer should
plough his fields in March, April, or
May at the farthest, harrow or culti
vate till the sod is rotten, then cross
| plough, harrow or cultivate whenever
any growth apjwar*, until be can
fi-ast his vengeful eyes on a year's
Crop of nothing. Not a vegetable,
not an animal should be alive ujon
the field. When it is a complete
desolation, a waste, an entire rever
sal of what the farmer lives for, hopes
for, hi* anger and revenge are sati
ated. There is nothing more to kill.
Hut the year is gone, no crop has
!>een raised, and an infinite summer
fallow will lie required to kill ail the
*coda in the soil; and in all smooth,
easily tillable fields, a much more
humane and profitable system can
lie employed. .Summer fallows gen
erally are not broken up till June;
in a dry season the sod docs not be
come rotten, quark and June grass
are not destroyed—only a possible
crop of grass or grain.
But a well-prepared, well-tilled
cornfield gives nearly ail the irenefits
of n thorough summer fallow and a
noble crop of fodder and grain. It
is ploughed one or two months earlier,
should IK- thoroughly harrowed or
cultivated lcfore planting, and care
fully cultivated during May, June,
and perhaps July, till the corn is too
large for a horse between the lows.
By this time the sod is rotten, even
quack is checked, and, in a favorable
season, destroyed ; the broad leaves
of maize protect the bare earth from
the burning sun and drying wind,
giving the benefits in part of a pro
tecting, fertilizing mulch, and the
farmer has been an angel of Ceres
and rienty, not a mere demon of
desolation. Nowhere is seed more
completely rotted, nowhere arc grass
and weeds more completely destroy
ed than in an early, well prepares!
and, for two months every week care
fully cultivated, cornfield. It ia al
most the ideal spring-fallow and
early summer fallow, During July,
August and September, it ia a par
tially protective mulch. Finally, in
autumn it ia a glorious crop coveted
by every domestic animal on the
farm, furnishing fodder, pork, beef,
wool, milk, eggs and other helpmecta
for the farmer's table and purse.

Compacting tho Soil.
AmcrlMa Acrkiiltnrlft
"How is it," once (iked a young
friend of us, "that every cutting you
, touch will grow, while only a small
part of mine succeed ?" We were
both amateur gardeners, and as
neighbors indulged in a friendly riv
alry. We gave him the secret of our
"touch," which was, to always press
the soil firmly around the cuttings ;
after this he hud no cause to com
plain of failure. This mattcrof bring
ing tbe soil in close contact not only
with cuttings, hut with rooted plants
and seeds is of the greatest impor
tance, and its neglect is a frequent
source of failure. If tbe soil is left
loosely around a cutting or around a
seed, the minute root in either caw;,
as it pushes, may fail to come in
contact with the needed moist soil
and perish for the want of it. When
ripe wood cuttings, such as those of
the currant are set out in the open
ground, and one lot have the earth
thoroughly pressed against their lower
jtortion, even pounded down to make
sure, every one will grow. If this is
neglected more or less will fail. 80
in setting out plants, such as those of
cabbage, celery, etc. The market
gardeners make sure that the soil
shall IK; brought close to the roots,
by going along the row and pressing
it firmly to the plant with the feet.
In an article we'printed a few years
ago, Mr. J'eter Henderson showed
that success with raising his crop of
celery plants was due to the fact that,
after sowing the seed he hail the
whole surface of the soil of the bed
well patted down with the back of the
spade. The end is accomplished on
a large scale by the use of a roller,
but in small beds the spade is an ex
cellent sulwtitute. In setting out
trees or shrubs, the more carefully
the soil is filled in and worked in
among the roots, and firmly pressed
—not stamped down, with the foot,
the greater the chances of success.
Kven in laying turf or sods, the roots
of the grass should be brought in
close contact with the soil by the use
of a "ix'ater," a piece of heavy plank
with a handle, or by beating down
with the spade back.
Sowing Corn for Fodder.
There is nothing a farmer can get
las much stock food from for the
amount of labor expended as be can
from a patch of sowed corn for fod
der. Now is a good time to begin
1 preparations. {Select your ground,
and, unless rich, give it a good coat
of manure and plow it under. Let
I :t lay until the last of .May or the
first of June; then re-plow and har
j row until the surface is thoroughly
: pulverised ; then sow the corn with a
; drill, about one and a half bushels of
shelled coin to the acre, if you want
it for lodder alone, as by sowing
| thick the stalks, will be smaller, and
j you will have a larger quantity of
j blades and tops that the stock will
J eat up cleaner. IJy sowing thinner
| you get larger and heavier stalks,
1 and by sow ing a little earlier and let
ling stand longer you can secure a
good supply ol nubbins. I prefer
thick sow ing, as it shades the ground
j more completely and weeds have no
chance at all to grow ; hence there is
no need of cultivating. Cut as soon
jas it is all tatseled out well; lay in
bundles until thoroughly cured, and
Uicu shock or haul to your barn. If
you have never tried it, you will be
astonished at the quantity of fodder
you can raise on a small patch of
ground. Ilcsides getting a full sup
ply of fodder cheaply, fanners will
find this crop a great help during
August. When pastures begin to
fail and dry up, and the supply of
green food gets short, you can keep
your slock growing and improving
I all the time by cutting and feeding
from your patch of fodder. We ail
know that very olten stock loses con
siderable during the very hot days
of August, when the grass in liie
pastures gets short, and that, too,
just when it is most desirable to keep
them growing. A good supply of
green corn grown in this way will be
of great benefit at this time. It takes
but little ground and very little
trouble to give it a trial.
The selling of calves when a few
days old is a loss to the fsrtner.
The loss arises from the fact that
calves make very rapid growth when
young, and will pay for themselves
handsomely If kept until they are
really fit for veal.

AN old orchard can never be made
