they are brief and veil pointed.

Wk have no counsel to give as to
what brand of "fertilizer" should be
used for corn, but we are very
confident that whatever is used
should be spread broadcast and har
rowed in, and not placed "in the
kill."
SOMK of our highly esteemed con
temporarie- seem to be weakening in
their faith in ensilage. One at least,
j of its most earnest and distinguished
I advocates hints that the agricultural
societies should give "the new sya
! tern" a boost.
Ir the ground is in proper condi
tion at time of corn planting, packing,
or tinning the soil on tho seed will i
materially aid and hasten gcrmina
tioii. In the olden days of the hoe, I
Some of the most successful corn
growers we knew insisted that every
j hill should receive a "spat" from the
I hoe after having la-en covered, or be
stepped on when moving on to the
next hill. In modern practice, since
the advent ol the planters, it is more
convenient to harrow the ground im
mediately after planting, and then
give it a pas-age of rather light rol*
j ler.
AT last winter's meeting of the
Connecticut State Hoard ol Agricul
ture a Mr. Lockwood told of a field
of corn in which the seed had been
tarred at planting. "This seemed to
prevent the ravages of the crow* un
til the second bowing, when the corn
was up some eighteen inches, at
which time the er w* came in and
| pulled nearly an acre clean." lie
i doss not sav that each crow had a
minaturc stump puller, but from
what he doe* sav we may justly infer
it. Wonder if tliey have many such
fellow* a* that in the Connecticut
State Hoard of Agriculture '
PROF, of Agriculture Henry, of
the I Diversity of Wisconsin, is out
in an open letter to t ommissioner
boring, calling upon him to define
j liia position ti|>ori the "Northern
Sugar ( ane Industry." It really
matters but little what the C-unmis
sioner'a attitude may Ik\ If there is
a reasonable prospect ol success in
'this industry Prof. Henry may Ik
j sure thai the "millions of dollars"
which he says are In-ing invested in
.t will l>e able to find the road with
out any nasiat-nnce from the Depart
ment. if wanting in the elements of
success, all the lolstering the Com- :
missioner might give it would l>e of
no avail.
In an article upon the "June bug,"
the crow is spoken of as the farmer's
friend inasmuch as he aids material- j
;ly in their destruction. This is just j
praise, and we arc glad to heartily
j second it. The honor is divided I
I with .Mr. Corvus, however, by the
smaller and more active blackbird, as
we hap|K>n to know from personal
observation. A few years ago we
, planted one-fourth of an acre in
I Sliarpless strawberries, which were
the following year, in spite of our
utmost efforts, completely destroyed
by the white grub. The next spring
it was plowed, after the main crop of
corn was planted, for the purpose of
growing on it our seed corn. The
ground was found to lie completelv
lllled with the destructive bugs, and
grave doubts as to the expediency of
planting it in anything were enter
tained and expressed. These, how
ever, were but short-lived. About
eighty rods distsnt from the patch,
and in plain sight, stands a very
large pine tree, which for several
years past hse been the nesting place
of large numbers of blackbirds, forty
or fifty nests having been counted
upon it ut one time. The Heason in
question it seemed to have an unusu*
ally large colony, and was literally
alive with young birds. It was but
j a little while after the plowing com
' menced until the old birds discovered
the prize in store for them, and the
zeal and energy they displayed in their
endeavors to "gobble" every grub
as fast as the plow turned them up
was as amusing as it was gratifying.
Their success i* attested by the fact
that 1 lie corn was planted, and came j
to perfection, entirely exempt from !
molestation by the grub.
Kiiting- for Work
| Am' 'i- mi Agi ilturist
The importance of this matter is
| far too little appreciated or under
; stood by the great majority of farm
ers. Many who carefully consider
what kinds and qualities of food, of
j oats, corn, ground arid cut feed, hay
or grass, will enable them to yet the
most good work out of their horses
! and oxen, the richest milk, or largest
amount of it, from their cows—also
the Is-st time of feeding -—sadly ne
glect to use similar thought and care
respecting thern-elves and their work
men.
Strength comes only from suitable
nutritious food, well digested. A i
man, whether employer or employed' I
will have far more Hoiking power if;
lie eats as much, and only as much, !
a* he can digest well, of lean meat,
properly cooked, good bread, oat

Sheep uh Weed Destroyers.
A tuttU ft n f ultlvftfur
Francis 11. Appleton, of I'eabody,
speaks of sheep as an undoubted
i means of renovating worn-out and
almost unused pastures where nutri
tious grasses have been supplanted
by bushes, briars and mosses. Sheep
cannot be expected to feed on old
bushes or old briars, but all such
should be mowed down at the start;
nor can they ire expected to thrive in
old run-down pasture without re
ach ing some good feed from day to
day from their owner. Mr. Appleton
says ' I bought a lot of cotton seed
meal, feeding the same to my sheep
, every morning and night. They
liked it, and the meal agceed with
them uncommonly well. 1 fed about
a pint to each sheep at a feeding.
The result was, they cleaned out ab
solutely every briar, every sumach
bush and many other shrubs, but not
the huckleberry busbes. They cov
ered the pasture with rich manure,
showing in its effects the superior
advantage in feeding cotton seed

Adaptation of Grasses to Climate
llr*S. i. i. .mil
Although our climate is usually dry
and hot in summer, there is, as a
rule, rain enough to keep the soil in
a sufficiently moist state, not only to
hold auy of the meadow grasses
adapted to arable land, but enough
to enable many grasses to assist in
producing an increased swarth of
I hay. Our common white fDutch)
i clover may be used in illustrating our
meaning. It requiresconlinued moist -
| '.ire in the soil. In dry season* it is
scarcely seen, and rnanv farmers sup
posc it to 1* entirely gone. Not so.
The first rnoist season, like the last
• one, finds it occupying the soil every
where ; and it quickly encroaches
upon tle other grasses, when cropped
■short; even blue-grass fields, lawn
and pasture arc white with its blos
soms. The same is true to a consid
erable extent of blue-grass, and, in
fact, of all th• grasses, not especial
ly adapted to dry situations and
soils. Varieties adapted to dry soils
act in precisely an opposite direc
tion. It is in drv seasons that they
flourish abundantly. In our average
seasons most varieties do fairly well.
Hence, the stockman who dc|>end*
ti|K>n one variety or a few varieties
for hay. and e|>erially for pasture, is
not wise.
A Cure for Bloat
A Missouri farmer writes: "As
soon • I find an animsl in distress
from bloat, from eating wet grass or
clover. I wet it along the back with
cold well water, and also place a
large cloth or blanket of several
thicknesses over the psnnch. after
tieing saturated with all the cold
water it will absorb, and over that a
dry blanket. If the cold water ia
properly applied one will not hare
long to wait for a cure."
Reliable Cure for Currant Worm*.
A successful chicken raiser says
that he always foal* his hens among
his currants, and the leaves are con
sequently always free from worms,
and other bushes not thus treated
near by were entirely stripped of
their foliage.
