Onk of the permanent advantages
to l<; derived from the present era of
good prices lor all farm products in
the incentive it furnishes for hotter
culture. Almost everything grown
brings profitable returns, ami nothing
is so stimulating a profit.
Hit. DICKIE, of Bucks county, I'a.,
one of the finest dairying counties of
the State, deliberately concludes that
dairying,even when as well conducted
as it confessedly is in that county,
"instead of improving is exhausting
the productiveness of the land."
Tiik <ira> gers annual tii-State pic
nic at Williams' drove, and the an
nual exhibition of the State Agricul
tural Societies of Sew York and '
Pennsylvania have for several years
emphatically refuted the theory that
such exhibitions cannot be success
fully conducted without the aid of
the l ist horse, and the faster men hv
whom lie i-> always accompanied*
llespeetfully referred to all managers
of agricultural exhibitions.
IT is often claimed that potted
strawberry plants, set in August or
September, will produce a "full crop"
the following year. This is an exag
geration, ami those who plant ex- '
pecting to realize it will surely be
disappointed. They will, however,
produce a partial crop, and inasmuch
as "half a loaf is l>e'tcr than no
bread," it is better to plant now than
to wait until spring.
ONE or the very gratifying fea
tures of tin: present season is the
splncdid "catch" of clover every
where to lie seen. We have great
faith in clover as a basis for good,
remunerative farming, and the fine,
rich green bottom which reveals itself
in every grain field as the busy fann
ers remove the ripened cr< p, gives
cheering promise of future successes.
THERE is no profit in keeping nn
old sheep, and just now is an excel
led time to get ride of them. Sheep
are shorter lived than most other
farm animals, ami almost before one
knows it. some of tee bet members
of the lloek will begin to get old.
("nil them out, and keen the flock
young and fresh, l'nder ordinary
circumstances -i\ .| ■ vcr \i'ir*is
probably tin- liuiit.ol' a r-heep's useful
lite. If separated from the ll'ek now

'I ilk Lancaster A< tr / after de
scribing an unusually fine crop of
tobacco, grown m ar that city, add
that the grower, "Mr. MetJiarm, at
tributes his good luck, largely, in
producing the weed, to the use of
barnyard manure, a plentiful supply
of which is always at hand from one
hundred head of cattle. Farmers
who use patent fertilizers may here
learn a lesson, and one well worth
rememliering, too." Whatever value
"patent fertilizers" may have for
other crops, or in a general Way, we
arc clearly of the opinion thatathey
are not adapted to the tobacco crop..
A VERY moderate establishment
for making "ensilage (French for
pickled corn stalks), including cost
of silo and cutting machine, will cost
two hundred and fifty dollars. The
same amount properly expended will
thoroughly drain ten acres of land so
wet that the crops sown upon it in
its present condition are uniformly
failures, and put in such a condition
that it may always be relied on for n
full crop. In our opinion the ten
drained acres will yield more annual
profit than the best ten silos ever
constructed. At any rate, the ques
tion of producing the crop comes in
advance of that of caring for it.

The assumption that purchasers of
patented articles are •'willfully igno
rant" ' f the rights of th" parties of
whom they buy to sell, is a- silly as
it is untrue. In many eases it is well
nigh impossible even for the courts
to decide who is the rightful owner
of a given patent, and how is it pos
sible for the farmer to decide Tuk< i
for instance, the two very commonly
use 1 articles -driven wells and bath
ed wire for fencing. Mints of money'
and much valuable lime of the high
est courts have been spent in en
deavoring to decide who had tin*
right to sell these valuable patents.
Is it right that the fanner'who in the
meantime purchased and used < ither
of them should undertake to guess as
to which way the courts would de
cide, and in case he* and the courts
should fail to agree in the final ad
judication, he compelled t > piy the
second time for the article he had
bought and paid for in good f.iitli '!

rain, scarcely any siiow and very mild
weather generally, and the prospcet.s
now are very poor, the wheat having
Iroen considerably water-killed ami
I injured by the fly. Hence I conclude
j that; land, to produce the lest yield
: of wheat, must lie well drained so
I that tho water will not stand on the
wheat at all, either from rain or frofti
melting snow, as it seems to take
very little water standing on wheat
to kill it. Then it seems that where
the land is plowed once, and the vol
unteer wheat is allowed to come up
and the land is plowed again, well
harrowed and rolled, the fly does not
injure the wheat so much. Thin lias
been the result of the last three
years, and since these facts are known
it seems to me that in order to raise
a good crop of wheat the land should
be ploughed well and as early as pos
sible alter harvest, especially if it has
been in wheat the year before. By
plowing early the volunteer wheat
iias a good chance to sprout and
grow, and the land should lie plowed
a second time to kill this well, and
then harrowed and rolled before it is
seeded, to get it as solid as possible
before seeding it. It should also lie
well drained so that the surface water
can run oir easily and as quickly as
possible. With these preparations
we can expect a reasonable harvest.

Judicious Economy tho Frst EH
sontial.
Cor. of Purrtt
The first essential to success on a
farm is judicious economy. Koine
one says, "Wealth is the proportion
of income to outgo." It is not pos
sible by ordinary methods to make a
farm produce more than a given
quantity. The man whose wealth
increases makes his wastes and leaks
so small thut his outgo is less than
his income.
Hut, my dear young friend, remem
ber i qualify economy by the word
"judicious." I have known most
wasteful economy.
Jt is not economical to have poor
tools.
it is not economical to have poor
stock.
It is not economical to plant jroor
seed.
It is not economical to have poor
help.
Sometimes it is not economical to
do much work yourself.
Keoiiomy should, more than any
thing else, be mixed with brains.
Results of Experiments in Wheat
Growing.
Last year I'rof. S. A. Blount, of
the < olorado Agricultural College,
made a large number of experiments
in wheat growing, and the conclusions
at which be arrives are of timely im
portance to all farmers, Below we
epitomize some of the most valuable
ones:
Results are decidedly in favor of
thin seeding, especially when sown in
good wheat soil and the seed is good.
Sulphate of copper is a pretty sure
preventive of sinut.
It pays to pick seed wheat in small
quantities, because it improves it,
keeps it pure, and makes it less liable
to rust and smut.
Cultivating wheat twice pays about
double the cost of all the expense in
large crops as well as small fields.
1 1 has come to be well understood
among farmers that farming i- a real
science. In this as in any other de
partment of industry, the thinking
man is the successful man. The
farmer who keeps himself enslaved
by bard inccjnt toil, without time
spent in thoughtful planning, will
find himself a failure. A few hours
of careful study will often save many
hours of hard physical labor. Mind
first, muscle next, is the order.
Wi: have seen old farms se trans
formed by the rebuilding of crooked
fences, a little underdrainagc here
and there, the buildings repaired,
painted or whitewashed, trees prop
erly planted about the house, that it
would seem that hundreds of dollars
bud been expended, whereas the
amount for labor and material would
barely < xet • d the cost of two or three
acres of land.
No one thinks of running two ma
chines to do the work of one, nor to
'occupy valuable space with two ob
jects when a single one will answer.
