I his fact hy itself has no partieular
significance, because attending cir
cumbtaaces and conditions might
ca-ily make the attainment a costly
one—a waste and extravagance to be
avoided in ordinary farming. Ilut
when this great ) ield it continue)!
year alter y<ar, in bad a ons a
we.l as good, then- is somewhere in
tin! management and the practice of
the farmer who gets it, ; v h-sson
worthy of consideration. The hte.t
intelligence from the beat wheat die-1
tricls of New y.jih imlieates a short
i crop not more than one half the
| average yield \eth. re m ".is ore

limit of j.rolit and leave di-appoint

I have seen the sixty acres of wheat on
I lose Hill larm in full head, stand
ing almost as l.i di as th> f. ie.
I thick and luxuriant growth Hearing
the harv. >t with full protui c in a

observe r will find something in these
sixty acres of wheat to explain the
present luxuriance. He must not be
content with a sii|icrfl> lal view, for
the prime cause lies dupe r. Mr.
Swan took posse-sion of the h.MI
acres compri-cd in Uose Hill l arm,
meirc than thirty years age., after lie
ha<l serve 1 a tmy hood apprenticeship
em an ad oining farm with John
Johnston, whose doctrine wa-. that
thorough elraintge of heavy soils is
the prerequisite of successful fann
ing. To this article of faith the pu
pil had sub-cribed with that full ere
donee that leads to practice. His
new possession was cold, compact
e lay, nn unviting field lor labor. Hut
he must attempt farming and elrain
ing simultaneously, and await the
amelioration that in course of time
he believed would Ik; seen almvc
miles of buried tiles. The first year
he sowed forty acres to wheat, after
each lilting as could be give n without
draining. The; crop was two hun
dred bushels— five bushels to the
ne re. Meantime he had cut drains in
other fields, but only far enough lo
count as the beginning of nn elabo
rate system elesigned to bring the
whole farm to use with capabilities
greatly incrcnseel. The second year
lie had six acres of wheat, and har
vested one hundred and twenty-six
bushels ; more than four Viuica the
former yield, the improvement due
to drainage but partially effee'livc in
the first year. From that time ope
rations were continueel as rapidly as
tho conditions of general farming
would permit, until at last there 1
were buried in the soil seventy five
miles of tho elrains and the cost had '
reached several thousand dollars. '
Many years bavo passed tince Ike '
work was completed, aud wheat has
grown again and again in its proper '
course on neai ly every flelei, but there (
has not been n single failure. The
general average has run between 1
thirty-five nnd forty bushels to the *
aero, and so far as this farm is con
cerned there arc no bad seasons. I c
So rnucn for drainage. On the
debit side a fe;w tlioiisimd dollars
cost of construction, (he: investment
fairly entitled to interest :u li year.
On the credit side the difference lie
twee n five bushels or ten bushels of
wheat in a good year and tbirty-ffve
e>r forty bushels in a good or bad
year, without much regurel to charaej
te-r <jf the; season. Any body may
strike; the balance and answer the;
question— Is draining profitable?

It is siirpii iiig, in view of the
ground that the w heat is in so excel.

though not over-forward. There has
not been sufficient frost to hurt it,
while the light, di--olved snow see;in

than all, the; under-eliy ncv-s ejf the
giound—equivalent to umlerdraining

uniformly good set and healthy color,

' condition of the ground favors the
root, as seldom before, and thus MIS.
tains the plant the better above

wheat croji next year, therefore;, is
excellent. It will take an unusual

Green Corn for Pign.
hu.t'i, an Afti' u ? tltl
In the summer ami early fall feed
ing of pigs, we hare found sweet
corn one of the best and most con
venient kinds of fodder. Pork is
made to the ls-st advantage by put
ting tlm pigs, as soon as they arc
weaned from the sow and have learn
ed to eat inilk ami meal, into the pen,
and keeping them there under full
fe-cel until they arc ready for slaugh.
ter in November or I'eeembcr. With
a goel brecel of swine there is no
elilliculty in making March pigs
we igh from two hundred and fifty to
three hundred lls., at eight or nine
months eld. With plenty of Indian
(meal ami skimmeel milk they will
grow rapidly until the corn is large
enough for cutting. Aliout the first
of August, this should be given as an
additional ration. The pigs will cat
the green stalks anel leaves with the
greatest relish after the ears have
been plucked. It is an excellent p
-|>etiaer, helps the eligeatiou of more
snliel fooel, and prompts the thrift of
the animals. Ftelel corn may not le
quite so nutritious, but no better use
can lie maelc of that, after the ears
arc in milk, than to cut and fecel it to
fattening swine. It costs much less
lo make pork in summer Ihsn in cold
winter weather.

IN its direct money value, and in
its collateral and indirect benefits,
grass is worth more to the world
than all the cereal crops combined.
15 KANS should never he cultivated
while the leaves are wet, and not at
all after blossoming, as the dirt
causes rust of the leaf arid will in
jure the crop.
OvK-half of the corn required to
fatten hogs in the fall if fed to them
during the hummer will t'ive a better
result, and, of course, greatly in
creased profit.

A 1.1 '.I HI ANT growth of weeds

is sure to impeach the character of

I'. S. (iui.n, of West Cornwall,
Conn., say- that the worm which
| prr luces gapes in chickens is propa
gated in the ground. He has grounds
: so iuficb i that it is impossible to
raise one out ola dozen chicks when
allowed to range on it. while adjoin
, ing fields arc entirely free from the
I malady.
I II ; i years ago it wm. accounted
t . very wasteful to put manure any
where but in the bottom of the fur
row. or under a thick covering of
- ' "oil, to make compost for meadows.
Now, practical men and scientists
1 agree in commending nature's own
way of makibg land rich solely by
surface dressings.

This is the economic objection to
naked Summer fallows which have
Urn mostly sujerscded by fallow
crops. \\ ith some crop growing on

. clear gain.
KARI.V plowing of wheat land ad
mits of a 1 <etkr application of ma
nure. Manure is most needed in
autumn, and to IK- at once available
to the roots of the young plant, it
must le fine and near the surface,
not on top of the ground, but thor
. ougfaly incorporated with the upper
layer of soil. If the ground is plow-
Icd early, the manure can IK? applied
to the surface, and the work of pre
paring the seed-bed will find it mixed
I with the soil.
IT is very important that stubble
land intended for seeding with wheat
should 1K plowed as early as possible.
Only thus can the soil be made com
pact enough to insure a good seed
bed. Besides, on the newly plowed
isnd the rains that come sonk into
I soil, while on stubble they run
oir and leave the seed lx-d dry and
hard when the time for seeding ar
rives. An early jtlowed stubble has
nearly as many advantages for kill
ing weeds as most Sumner fallowp.
IN August, hogs suirer the most
from unwholesome water. I>uring
this month they require much water,
*nd il is more essential that it be
pure than during any other time of
the year. The sun is hot, the air
dry, the earth parched; the hog has
a compart body, formed largely of
fat, small lungs imbedded in masses
of flesh and fat, and with its nostrils
J near the ground. It inhales dust,
which in part consists of decaying
vegetables. Kvcrything conspires to
produce a feverish state ot the body,
and a great thirst, to be allayed only
by large quantities of cold water.
