C3- J3,XCXTXJ'TXT23,XJ . NEWS, FACTS AND SUOOKBTIONS. THK TEST UP THE NATIONAL WKLPARE IS THI INTELU OINOP, AND PUOgPEBITT OP THE PARMER. Every farmer in hie annual experience discovers something of value. Write it and send it to the "Agricultural Editor of the DKMOORAT, Jiellefonte, Fenn'a," that other farmers may have the benefit of it. Let communications-be timely, and be sure that they are brief and well pointed. DON'T mow too close to the ground, it may give you a little more hay this year to set the cutter-bar down to the lowest notch, but next year's crop will suffer in consequence. A little roughness to compel setting the knives high is not a disadvantage in the long run. EVERY farmer who has to contend with stony land will thank us for saying that when the small ones are to be picked, two men with dung forks will do more work, and do it easier, than four will with their hands. We got the idea from an ex change, and put it into practical ex ecution, the other day, to our own advantage, and the great gratification of the men we put at the job. THIS is the time of bugs, and slugs, and worms, and young chickens will aid materially in keeping them in subjection, if allowed the range of the garden, without doing any great harm. To secure the double profit which ma}' be had from this, feed the chicks well with grain (wheat screen ings aie the best) at least twice a day. The be3t times are as early as possible in the morning and late in the evening. FEKTIMZEK manufacturers are said to be large purchasers of leather scraps from the shoe factories. These scraps are ground into meal and mixed with the fertilizers. This meal contains a large amount of nitrogen, one of the most valuable constituents of any manure, but while it yields to the manipulations of the chemist in the laboratory, and enables him to put a high valuation upon the manure, it is of no practical use to the farmer, because it is almost impossible to rot it and cause it to ) iold up its nitrogen to the soil. One more way of mak ing the fanner pay for something that he does not get. IT is well worth a farmer's while to make small experiments. Tliey sometimes lead to large results. Progress in agriculture is the order of the day, anil without experiments progress cannot hi; made. And, in this connection. "To do good and communicate, forget not." Whatever the results of your experiments may be, give your brother farmers the benefit of them, through the agricul tural press, and this whether the re sults be failures or successes. As much is to lie learned front one as from the other. We want to know what to avoid as well as what to practice. Farming is much more a matter of expeticnec and practice than of theory, and of the latter, any of the alleged agricultural writers can furnish an over supply. Fare fully conducted, and faithfully re ported experiments, arc worth more to real farmers than all the theories in creation. IT is not quite just to work the horses hard all day and then turn them out in the fields to forage for their living half the night. Better keep them in the stable, properly ventilated, and well bedded, and car ry to litem such portion of green food as they need. They will do more work and do it all the easier for this care. They can be made to do their own mowing by using the mower a few moments each day. An advan tage to be gained by this—and to tell the truth this idea was at the bottom of the suggestion—is that if the mower is not in perfect order & will be discovered in time to have it made so before the press of haying comes on. And now we might go on with the stereotyped advice to have the rakes and forks on hand, and all things in order for the harvest, but we refrain. The hint given as to the mower will be quite sufficient for provident farmers. RAIN upon out and ouring clover is very detrimental, more so than upon any other variety of hay. Clippings and Comments.

Itiley. To meet a general demand that will probably be felt and made for the best means of coping with the army worm, I would here repeat in con densed form what I have in previous years recommended. Experience has established the fact that burning over a meadow, or prairie, or lield of stub ble, either in winter or spring, usually prevents the worms from originating in such meadow or field. Such burn ■ ing destroys the previous year's stalks and blades, and, as a consequence of what I have already stated, the nidi which the female moth prefers. Burn ing as a preventive, however, loses j much of its practical importance un ' less it is pursued annually, because of ! the irregularity in the appearance of the worm is injurious numbers, judi cious ditching, i e., a ditch with the side toward the field to be protected perpendicular or sloping under, will protect a field from invasions from some other infested region when the worms are marching. When they are collected in the ditch they may be destroyed either by covering them up with earth that is pressed upon them ; by burning straw over them, or by pouring a little coal oil in the ditch. A single plow furrow, six or eight inches deep and kept Iriable by ; dragging brush in it, has also been known to head them oil'. From experiments which 1 have I made I am satisfied that where fence j lumber can be easily obtained it may be used to nd van time as a substitute I for the di.cb or trench, by being se | cured on edge and then smeared with ; kerosene or coal tar (the lath r being I inure particularly useful) along the 1 upper edgi. By means of laths and | a few nails the hoards may be so | secured that they will slightly slope l away from the field to be protected. Such 11 barrier will prove ill'eetnai ! where the worms are not persistent lor numerous. When thev are execs- I sivelv abundant they will need !■> lie watched and occasionally dosed with kerosene to prevent their piling up even with the top of the hoard and thus bridging the harrier. The lum ber is not imjured for other purposes subsequently. The poisoning by the spraying of London purple or Paris green water (made according to the well-known formula) of a few of the outer rows of a non infested field that is threat ened by invasions from an adjoining one, may under some circumstances, be warrented as an expedition and cheap mode of destruction. Finally, iMr. J. W. Sparks, of M tirfrcesboro, Tenn., has just sent me Urn following experience which 1 give A' w hat it is worth. "The Army-worm is making such inroads upon the wheat crops here in Middle Tennessee, I thought I would write you and give the process I have for ridding the wheat of these vaga bonds. 1 take a rope about sixty feet long and cause, two men to walk through the wheat field dragging the rope over the wheat. By this means you can go over a large field of wheat in a few hours. The rope, dragging over the wheat, shakes the worms olf on the ground and they curl up and lie there for half an hour or more —seems to be mad about it—and then begin to move about hunting something to eat; but the larger ones are unable to climb the wheat stalks with all the blades off so that you can get rid of the larger ones the first time going over,and the smaller ones can be shaken off so often that they cannot hurt the wheat. If you will make known this simple plan to the sections where the worm i 9 at work the people can yet save titer wheat. I am satisfied I will save mine. I am going over my whole crop twice a day. FARNIKRB will have made a great ad vance when they hold themselves in flexibly to this rule: Let every field go to grass that can't be planted in season to some crop suited to it, and fertilized and tended in the best man ner. Tho Trough and the Breed. Philadelphia Record. It should be considered that every thing that is derived from an animal must come from the trough, which means that one must feed well; but the trough cannot compensate for absence of good breeding. In the dairy we sometimes find two or three cows that produce fur above the average ; but with the thoroughbreds, such as the .Ayrshires and Holsteins, it is not uncommon to find whole herds fully up to the standard. But ter-makers well know that the Jerseys and Guernseys can be relied on for butter of good quality, color and quantity whenever the rack or trough is full, but no amount of feeding can produce such result from a herd of common cows. The trough does its work well, and that is admitted, but there is reliance to be placed on breeds which meets with few disap pointments, and the dairyman who does not place as much dependence on the breed as on the trough is far away back in the past, and will be compelled to realize such necessity if he wishes to be successful. The Berkshire hog uniformly gives pork of a certain quality, and the trough is the agent; but it is the breed and its characteristic tendencies that streak the fat with lean and round the hams to fulness. The trough cannot put a merino fleece on a Cots wold or give the former a larg car cass, but it can fulfill the work de signed and increase the size and quicken the growth. How important is it, then, to improve with the best that can be procured. If the breed is to be relied on we should select the best of the breed, Trust to nothing in ferior. Keep the rack and trough right, the breed up to the standard, the condition favorable, and not only the individual will profit thereby, but so will also the country at large. Hilling Up Corn a Mistake. Henry Stewart's Experience. It will be quite safe fur every farmer who plows bis corn deeply between the rows to try an acre or half an acre with flat cultivation in stead of plowing. It is a mistake to put a plow into a cornfield after the plants are a month old. At that age I have traced corn roots entirely across the rows, and intermingling with those of adjacent rows. It can not be right to cut and tear those roots and deprive the plants of their mouths, by which they feed, or to confine them to a narrow strip of soil of only two feet wide. I know that it is not right for me to do so. When I first used a Share's horse hoe for cultivating corn nearly 20 3 - ears ago, I was first encouraged to try to grow large crops of corn, for I found flat cultivation greatly increased the yield. .More recently I wasstill more forcibly taught that plowing corn was a mistake. A field of sweet corn was partly cultivated with a horse hoe and a part was plowed. A stub born hired man, who thought his plan was the best, and in spite of orders, plowed four acres very deep ly, earthing up the corn several incit es. It was as severe a case of root pi lilting as one could wish for. The consequence was that from that day the plowed corn stopped growing, and yielded not one ear, while the rest of the field produced more than eleven thousand ears to the acre. Root-pruning corn is a serious mis take and deep plowing among corn is root-pruning. FosTEtti.NO agriculture is no class legislation, neither is it centralizing power in defiance of the constitut ion, for it is the people's cause as the nation's life. You may scuttle every American vessel and raze to the ground all our manufacturing estab lishments, this people would still re main as proud, as independent and as self-suppoitiug as any people on earth. Rut should the vengeful pow er of an offended Deity destroy but for a single season all our agricul tural products, annihilation, both in dividual and national, would' bu our inevitable doom. No, agriculture is a science too vast in its extent, too powerful in its I tearing upon the welfare of the people to be consider ed in the same legislative oatagorv with our other manifold industries. Agriculture is an original, productive industry that is dependent only upon itself, and is sufficiently extensive and important to deserve separately and alone the consideration asked tor it in this hill— Congressman Aiken. Harvesting Clover. Fanner's Review Cut clover when it is free from dew, and cured in the cock, mowing only what can be got in good shape without being wet by rain, if possi ble. Handle clover hay with care from the time it is cut till it reaches the mow. If not cut until fully ripe, nearly all the sugar and starch be come transformed into woody fibre, and unfit for animal use. THE average yield of corn is about 40 bushels to the acre. The average yielded of wheat is about 13 bushels. We can, from present knowledge, more easly increase the average yield ot corn to 65 bushels than we can that of wheat to 20 bushels. EVERY farmer of common intelli gence knows that the more he feed a his corn crop the more he feeds hia corn crib.
