Clippings and Comments.
I'lipre i no little complaint of the
ro-kle in the wheat. F-srhangt.
It is idle to complain of anything
that is so easily remedied, unless the
: complaints lead to the application of
the remedy. If the seed wheat In
grown in a lot by itself, with extra
good care and attention, as always
should lie the ease, and as the lrmo
ck at'h editor has for years advocated,
the cockle nuisance can easily lie
done away with. It is a very light
job to go over two or three acrea of
wheat in the cool of a June evening,
when the cockle is in bloom, and
easily found, and pull every stalk
We know whereof we a firm, for we did
it with our own hands, this present
season, ami as a very satisfactory re
sult, our seed for the present month's
sowing has not one grain of cockle in
it. "Whatsoever a man sowelh, that
shall he also rcsp," and if Inrmers
will persist in sowing cockle aeeil,
they uinst not be disappointed If they
| have cockle to reap when the harvest
comes.
Careful experiments, which 1 have
made in feeding com fodder, comparing
if with bay, lead* irte to ths conclusion
that nn acre of corn fodder, from onrn
yielding forly to fifty bushels per acre,
ia worth as much for stock a* ths timo
thy or olorer hay that could tic grown
on the same land, and it can be saved
with much less risk of damage by bad
wailior, ort'l at hh little e*ipne.— ll'.

Moro Testimony in Favor of Bye
A correspondent of Kur.u ami j ■
*un sow . rje among his nun, at the
rate of a bushel and a hall | r acre,
and reports as follows concerning In
success with it a* a pastuie crop:
Two years ago we treated a seventeen
| acre field ill Ihi- way. the sowing not
Is ing done unlil aliout the middle of
August, as the corn was rather late.
As soon a the corn wa tipe enough
it was cut and shocked, and then
when dry enough toci'b, the liusi.ing
was commenced in one corner of the
field, the fodder lieing removid and
stacked as last as husked out., and
the portion of the field thus cleared
was inclosed with a portable fence.
Twenty cows were allowed to graze
on this inclosed portion, the busking
and stacking being continued, and
the portable fence being moved furth
er into the field whenever the rye was
eaten ofT. Whenever a rain storm
came the cows were taken off for a
day or two to prevent puddling the
soil, lieing kept in n small blue grass
pasture, which had opportunity to
grow while they were on the rye. In
this way they grazed upon the rye
for six weeks, grazing ofT fifteen ol
the seventeen acres. As soon as the
ground wns dry enough In thespiing,
the rows were turned iqion the rye
again, and for six weeks more, or un
til the first week in May, it furnished
their pasture ground, producing a
grass flow of tnilk. The field was
then plowed and planted again to
corn, and yielded a more than aver
age crop, the roots of the rve causing
it to plough up loose and friable, and
furnishing, together with the cow
droppings, a fair manuring. From
fifteen acres of this field we therefore
obtained three month's pastursge for
twenty cows, or neariy SIOO, between
the two crops of corn, and this with
a benefit of the second, which was
apparently sufficient to pay the coat
of the aeed rye.

Dootorinsr Old Orchards.
!> £. Kvana, Jr.
Circumstances alone determine
whether It is or ia not advisable
and desirable to plow old orchards ol
the apple and jiear, and no fixed rule
can lie given which will afford uni
formly satisfactory results. The na
ture and quality of the soil, aa well
as the location of the orchard, has
much to do in determining the ques
tion, while the kind of soil, the length
of time it baa remained unturned,
and the way the trees have been
handler!, are important points to con
alder.
Some years ago the writer pur
chased a farm, on which there was an
old ? apple orchard of some sixty
large tree*, many of which were ap
parently beyond the period of useful
ness. The orchard had been left in
Ki n** for Home eight or ten years, the
hay having I wen taken olf an long an
it paid to cut it, and nothing put on
to replace the amount of fertilizing
matter thus removed annually. As
soon as I took [*os*e**ion of the
farm, I trimmed the trees severely,
scraped oil all the loose bark on the
trunks and treated these trunks to a
coat el diluted soft soap, applied with
a whitewash brush. This was done
; early in the Spring and as soon as
I the ground was fit for plowing 1 had
the orchard plowed thoroughly, grul>-
bing around the trees where the plow
could not go. A coat of well-rotted
stable manure was then spread on,
and the land thoroughly harrowed.
1 he apple crop, this year, was a very
good one, and said to be the best one
the orchard hud borne for several
years. Ihe second year vegetables
—hoed crops—were put In, with a
liberal amount of well-rotted manure,
and the result was not only a good
crop of vegetables, but an unusually
large yield or apples on most the
trees. I cultivated the orchard for
three successive years, then seeded to
clover and clover alone, keeping this
two years, and then again resorting
to a three-years' course of cultiva
tion. I have seen this plan success
fully tried with numerous orchards
since, and do not know of a single
failure.
A Hint for Strawberry Growers.
The I'rurti il Farmer describes the
following mode of mulching straw
berries with slabs procured from a
sawmill. 'I wo-inch holes were bored
in them fifteen inches apart. They
were then placed, convex side up.
along the edges of beds, three feet
wide, and a strawberry plant was set
in August in each hole. The profu
sion of strawberries which covered
those slabs the following season was
a sight worth beholding. When oth
er strawberries were dried up by the
sevt re drouth, these were in perfec
tion. Half a pint or more were
taken from each plant. It isobvious
that fruit thus grown would not in
come soiled with earth. The slab*
would not present a very ornamental
appearance. In a subsequent year,
the plants crowded the holes and
were a failure.
KVERI farm is an experimental
station. It will surprise your neigh
bor to-morrow, when you met at the
postolliee. if you ask him how he gets
on with his experimental station ;
but the facts warrant the query.
How else was it that this very neigh
bor cut his bay earlier this season,
noticing in the w inter that the pota
toes had grown liest in an accidently
sandy The only difference be
tween this sort of experimenting and
scientific investigation is. that on the
farm the experiments oecur casual Iv,
while the scientist invents them ac
cording to his purpose. We are all
investigators of nature in a hap-haz
srd way ; science is simply the appli
cation of system to this end. While
a farmer now and then by accident
drops an interrogation |toint into the
soil and gets his nnsw, r next season
the scientist plants a whole crop of
interrogation points and has a harvest
•if answers—4o bushels to the acre.
Some of the answers seem foolish *
( ciiaugli to us unscientific |>eople, and
we have rather fallen into the way of
"pooli-pooing ' science, but perhaps
wc do wrong in that.— Farmer'" He■
| riVir.
A IIIGDKR appreciation of farming
as an occupation by all classes of so
i iety, and a more vigorous prosecu
tion of it as the only sulwtantial basis
of prosperity will be the outcome of
.the world's experience of commercial
depression ; and so that which effect*
other callings unfavorably will be ac
tually be neficial to this one by discloa
ing its immovable stability and the
diqiendence of everything else upon
it. Wc survey our broad acres with
their illimitable resources, and rejoice
to think that we have a safe invest
mont in a bank of earth which will
never break nor cease declaring divi
dends from now till the end of time.

T IIF.RK are many farmers who have
extra good butter cows and do not
know it. They have poor pastures in
