Write it anil tend it In the "Agricultural Editor of the DKMOCKAT, Itellefunte, I'enn'it," that other farmer* may hare the. benefit of if. Let eornmuniratinni be timely, ami be xure that they are brief anil well pointed. Wk greatly rejoice in the manifest prosperity of the American Ajrieultu ri #% arul take pleasure in calling the attention of our farmer readers to the very great improvements exhibited by the Octobt r number, an advance copy of which has reached our table. Among agricultural periodicals the Aijririilluri.il has Iteen the leading representative for many years, and lias so often and so thoroughly trav eled the round of the seasons in its advice, suggestions and relation of experiences for the farmer, that the mould of monotony seemed to be creeping oxer it. WiMi the Oetol er number, however, this has entirely disappeared, and a new departure has I teen made upon which we heartily congratulate the publishers and their many readers. The subject matter of this issue is as fresh, spicy and read able as can be, and at the same time soun ). conservative ami practical* A xi i x handsome, rn-xv design illumi nates the cover, while new type of the very plainest and clearest pattern, excellent paper, and first-class press work combine to make it a pleasure to read it. The one hundred (and oxer) original illustrations which adorn it arc models of accuracy and cleanness, and at least three of them —"Autumn Reverie*,'' "Oetolx*r" and "Farewell to the Woods," well deserve to be cut out and handsomely framed. Not withstanding all their improvements, involving, as we know they do, a very large expense, the price will continue as heretofore, to be $1,50 |x;r xear. The American farmer who does not subscribe to and read the Am#*rtVvm Ayricu/turiet fails to live up to his priv ileges. Ripening PearH. Ffrirjl the* Affriri||tart Pears properly ri|x*ned command a readier sale and higher prices than do those which are marketed as soon as they come from off the trees. The demand for which you wish to cater lias, however, much to do with this matter of ripening, for it would he a very question able policy to ripen the |x*ars well and then ship them to a commission merchant in some dis tant city lor sale, where they would, very likely, be two or three days more in reaching the consumer. In such cases the pears should be ripen ed hut little. If not more than forty eight hours from the consumer—this Is including all ordinary delays—it pays better to ripen the pears before shipment, as it gives them a color and luciousness which consumers fully appreciate and are willing to pay well for. Pick off the pears by hand as soon as they will leave the stem freely, and carefully convey them to a cool, airy room, a second-story one being the best, as it is free from dampness. Spread common blankets over the floor and on them spread the pears, just close enough not to touch each ot her. Other blankets are then spread over the pears, the room darkened, mud the f.nit left until ripened and nicely colored. Each day the pile should he carefully gone over and all the ripened, aa well as the specked fruit, removed, fresh ad ditions of unripened fruit being made from time to time, as the supply lasts. Clean Cider Barrels. Cider making is now close at hand, and oh! barrels must have become very musty and mouldy and wholly uoQt to use without a thorough fumi gation. A scientific journal gives the following receipt for effecting this, which we hope it may do : "To clean cider barrels, pour in lime water, and then insert a trace chain through the bongbolo, remem tiering to fasten a strong chord on the chain so as to pull it out again. Shake the barrel until all the mould inside is rubbed off. Rinse with wa ter, and finally pour in a little whisky." This is simple enough and would seem to meet the requirements. Really floe cider cannot he expected when the barrels are not perfectly aweet and clean. Put if any of our cider-makers have a better or other tnethoda than this, we ahall be pleased to find them , and to be of use this reason they should be communicated at once. New Strawberry Bode. tinrfiiatilown Telegraph. From time to time we have said a great deal on the subject of planting out new strawberry beds. Many fail in their effort to secure beds that will yield them satisfactory crops for at least three or four years without resetting, for the reason that they do not go right about it. Of course the ground should Ix: rich, dug pretty deep, made line and friable, and the plants, while they should not he set deep, should Ix; firmly pressed into the soil. The plants must of course, be young, having never fruited ; and if they are the product of other plants that have never fruited, by re moving the blossoms, tliey will be all that could he desired. This how. ever, requires labor which will not always IXJ bestowed upon them. Rut what should always be done is to transplant the young vines—it is not even too late yet —into well prepared ground, or in pots, where they should remain two or three weeks, watered twice a day, and then set. out in the IMMIH where they are to remain, say fifteen to eighteen inches apart: but before setting out surround the roots of each with a hall, not to compact, of loose earth, plant firmly, as we have already said, and water fre quently during the warm weather; cover lightly with straw the lat. of November, which should is* removed the middle or last of Match : and then, if the bed is kept clean of giro*-, and weeds, and you are not rewarded with a full crop of fine berries give j |up the attempt to raise them evt r after. Wucdf Goinir to Boc*l j nrm "in Ami-limn Xf ri'uliun.l | .lust at this season, when euiliva j tion is mostly over, and the main • crop harvested or laid by, we are most HI danger of allowing our old l enemies, the weeds, to go to seed, j This is a most culpable and ex|K'iiMve | practice, entailing untold l ifxir in future years. We have had in hand , the present season, an old garden, where every weed was left undisturb i ed, and no crop was planted last year. Their name is legion of almost every • variety that infests < 'onnecticut soil, siul some that we never met else i where. Pig-weed, milk-weed, dock and burdock, dandelion, fennel, mus tard, quack-grass, plantain, purslain, jack-in thc-pulpit, mallows, and divers other sorts have sprung up in their j season, and disputed possession with the crops planter!. There is only one excellence about them, they insure frequent cultivation of all crops, if you would have any harvest. The lattor of subduing one year's seeding of these |x*st is immense. In the garden especially, no weed should ever he allowed to go to seed. When one crop is off. put in another, and when the last is gathered, plow, or rake, or harrow, and let flie frost have free play in the soil. Bono Manure and How to Make It. r placed in a har rel or hogshead, according to quanti ty; they should he shaken together so that the ashes touch every part of \ the bones, then wet with water, just enough to dissolve and release the potash in the ashes, but not enough to leach the potash to the bottom of the barrel. The potash dissolves the j gelatine or glue which hind the phos phoric acid and the lime together, and the bones can then lx> easily crushed, in fact If its work has been done well the shin bones of an ox can he picked to pieces, or crushed with the fingers. Then pound and mix the dissolved bones and ashes together, and a valuable manure is produced composed of phosphoric acid, nitrogen, potash and lime. If the ashes are not moistened enough j the potash will not act; if too wet it will leach to the bottom and fail, so care and judgment must be used. Olve the Barnyard Manure to the Wheat and Phosphate to the Corn. Cor. of !>'• Pruw. The phosphates have been proven to give as good results on sod corn as on wheat; .ought wc not rather apply tlietn to the former and save our barnyard manure for wheat, or at least for spring crops, such as pots-' toes, millet or fodder corn, immedi ately preceding wheat? Instead of demanding a highly soluble fertiliaer which will flash in the pan on the wheat crop, had we not better supply s larger quantity of the chea|ter and less soluble compounds which will reserve more of their strength for the graaa crop? THE principal food of the farm laborers of Orkney Islands | oat meal, potatoes, fish and milk. Bread of fine wheat flour does not give j strength to work, and English tour-' lata express surprise at the apparent j vigor and youlbfulneaa of the Orkney j octogenarians. Clean, Dry and Shallow Seed Bed, Cor. tit Rirl tinw Y'/rkr In the case of wheat, new begin tiers are almost certain to err in pre paring a deep and mellow seed-bed. i The error is so nearly a universal one that wherever it is seen to exist, , there wheat will he found to be a eampurutively new crop. Thus, with in the upper cotton belt in .Southern Tennessee and Northern Georgia, the popular idea prevailing that too much land and labor are devoted to cotton, recourse has been had to the winter wheat crop, and large acreages have been plowed and sown, upon which, in almost every case, the curse of a loose arid spongy seed-bed may be recognized. But in sections where the wheat crop has been more or less a success tor half a century, the j cultivator strives for a clean, wcll drained an ! compacted sub-soil, and no more than three or four inches of a loose and mellow seed bed, which, .the seed being once sown and cover ed, he thereafter makes as solid as j possible by the well-weighted roller, ! or where the land is very cloddy, by the heav\" Irag planks. Plaster After the Harvest. A New York Tribune correspondent ' says : "Afii r the grain is harvested, | it is a well known fact to all observ ing farmers that tie surface of the groun ! becomes vety dry and parch ed, and the seeding, especially timo- J thy, dries up, turns brown, and very j oflt ii (In -by wholesale. The cva|io ration from the stubble only makes the matter ors<- by making mote In-at awl dryness at the surface. A bountiful sprinkling o( plaster at this time will help to arrest this evaporation, retain the in .Uture and cool the soil, thus |re venting the delicate plan's from withering and drying up. It would undoubtedly, in time of drought, pay to renew the plaster sowing in a couple of weeks. Blaster is the least expensive fertili zer to purchase, and under the < ir eurnstanees descrilied it is undoubt edly the most effectual. It costs altout twenty cents a hundred. It may lie sown broadcast or bv ma chines which have an attachment for the purpose. On a still day, sowing out of the hand is not ao very dis. agreeable work. Ibe team and wagon should be kept at band, to prevent carrying, which is the hardest part of the lalsir. It used to be a maxim I that farmers who used most plaster had the most haystacks; and there is no reason why the same mav not lie renewed.'' • Tho Best Beos. Italian liecs are considered to be | superior in the following rog|>eetß : They possess longer tongues, and can gather from flowers that are useless to black bees : this superiority is not so noticeable in the height of a good honey harvest as it is in poor seasons, or in times of scarcity, when the Italians will often be storing surplus from red clover or from some other source not available to the blacks. They arc less disposed to rob or to | be rob lied than are the black bees. They are almost proof against the ravages of the moth's Isrva. They arc disposed to remain quietly upon : the combs while being handled*, which saves the operator much annoyance and enables him to find the queen with little trouble. They arc more amiable in their dispositions, as well as more active, energetic and enter prising. Becipe for Poultry. W right recommends the following for poultry cholera, to be given every three hours : "Rhubarb, five grains' . Cayenne pepper, two grains; laud anum. ten drops ; administering mid way l ietween every two doses a tea spoonful of brandy, in rather less than its bulk of water, with five drops of McPougaJ'a fluid carbolate in each dose. Carbolic acid, in small doses, may be substituted for the carbolate, if not accessible. The yards should lie disinfected with car liolic acid as a measure of prudence, and for the same rcasen it is better to separate the sick from the well fowls, although the disease is not proven contageoua." Any treatment, to he effective, must begin at an early period. PROBABLY the very best way to protect wheat in the bina from the weevil is to thoroughly fumigate the bina with burning sulphur. Thia should lie done liefore the grain is put into the bina, ami repeated in the course o f a month or so after the grain is stored. Some persona use lime and salt, but there is nothing better than sulphur. Ira breeder keeps several varie ties some of one variety will lm j bred as close as possible to another, which he may have. But few breed er* possess an eye sufficiently critical to breed several varieties and keep them in perfection of form, color and points, as one breed must follow at - other to some extent. To prevent the hair from falling ♦ out, the common application in Ori ental countries is the bruised bull* of the Asphodelus huibosua,garlic or onions, mixed with gun|iowder.
