My experiment was clothing re

for pasturage or soil my•cattle, and
bellevinr , the Latter the better source,
I adqpte(l iL The results are noth
ing Co excite wonder nor are they
liarticularly noteworthy. But facts
are always in demand,, and those
which testify .to the ordinary prep ,
t lees and possibilities are, after .a 11,4
the facts of .mot interest to the far
mers generally. Too , often tillage:
liublifthed spring from extraordinary
causes, and indicate gmtraorditiary
•efforts. My experiment cannot

among such, and therefore may be f
value to others beside myself. 'era
many refused to adopt the sys mof
soiling, because reluctant to/under
t:.,ke measures so revolution‘ry, and
bccause, too, so many` ci its adVo
elites are so enthusiastic/over it as to
l
cast doubt upon it,A y trying to
prove too much, and hns appearing
p:ejudicc-d. /
-- This was my first trial. It was
therefore to be expected that I should
make mistakes— -Lsee now where' , I
might hate saved myself not a few.
.lolla.rs. Let me say, too, that al
' most every farmer would be" better
es.taate to take up the system than- I
was, for I had no clover to fall back
t;l\,cl, as it' had failed ; to catch. I
;:.-c..d very little timothY and depended
Lrfirely upon the crops grown dur-
ing the season.
My dairy .consisttd of three cows,
and the land used was a trifle over
two acres arid - three-quarters, more
than half of which was in poor on
,- dition and badly rnia out. 11,y o

butter making: Contrary to general eral
custom. I harepy cows fresh r i i,_!_,t_4e
fall, and - dry them off in Jply and
august. It was not of greatimpor
, tance, to. me therefore whether my
coat's were well fed in the summer or
not, because .there 'was no need that
they should be fed high, as they'were
• not •ibrced in milk or butter.

But there arc oter things to be eon=
i,i(l4.:red. I used sweet corn almost
- cntircly. I -found the cattle ate field
corn equally well, and the result in
1 • milk was the same. Sweet corn cost
.me isi; more than field corn would
have done. The manure used is
charged against thin crop, but is
•, hardly fair, for it is not exhausted by
it, Much remains to enrich mkt sea
bon's .growth.
After the quarter • acre of rye was
used up(l had it - ploutgliitand mil

tional cost of only $1 s'). Besides
thiS, I lia4 sown in May two acres of
peas and! oats in equal quantities,

which .cost me wi h manure and plas

the hay made: frqm these two acres.
With I,IM millet have enough to car

Add these items ,, $25 00, to the cost
of the 'summer's soiling, $29 40, and
the total is $55430. This covers the
cot of ten months. Last year it cost
ine'to . feed and :pasture for the cor
responding ten months $102445, mak

A Discovery in Grape Culture
A letter to . .the secretary of the
_ Old.; horticultural Society from W. I
W. ScalbOrou:di- of . Woodburn, a
suburb of Cincinnati, sass:
I have received • your favor,• in
quiring about the results of the new
method of protecting grapes from
disc ase,cte.,liy enclosing the bunches
is paper._ Lag:.- Hearing in P 376,
that my neighbor, Mr, Gottleib Myers
bad in that year tried. successfully
this Nperitnent, early in the summer
of 11077-, just after the bluSsorning had
been ilecomplished and the young
grapes-fully set, I enclosed in paper
bads :2.000 bunches, chiefly of -Con
cords and Catawbas, with some few
bunches of Delaware,. lona, mid Isra
- ella, and gathered in the fall 1 2,4:)0
bunches therefroui of perfet add mag
rrificeht fruit. Of the fruit that year
not bagged there was probably one
half destroyed by rut, with a further
• loss by'laildew, birds, and insects.
"_:-This year I had 7,500 bunches en
• closed in bags, with substantially the
same result to the kinds or varieties
of-grapes , before mentioned. Some
200 bunches of the Hartford prolific
variety did
.not do as well as the other
• varieties. There was less rot this
year in our open vineyards than for
many years past, but yet there was
disease, although diminished, and
'the Same loss by birds and insects to
the 'unprotected -bunches, which have
- heretofore existed.

two or three pins. These hags (or
Most of them), if madeof good qual ,
ity of paper, willlast,twO years' use,
• -tas will the pins - also be good for the
second ,year's use, if of good qual
ity. _ _
The quality of the 'fruit' is • im
proved by its isolation in the bag--
it is richer in saccharine matter, and
of higher flavor. The cost of ags,
pins and labor is about one-third of
f a cent per bag on the small scale of
my experiments. The result of my t
cipCriments has confirmed the theory
which I have .held, that the• rot is.

Agriculture and the Permanuent rAititioa
' Now. that oily Permanent Exhibi
tion is in a gocid condition, with' 0n1,3
a debt of $40,000 on exhibits costing
$lOO,OOO, and a building composed.of
9,000,40 pounds of iron, which at the
r7erk lowest estimate, one cent per
pound, is worth $90,00, would it not
be well for its managers to get up an
Ckhibition which will Ore the visitors
some idea of the agricultural wealth
and resources of our State? Pennsyl-
vania is 'so noted for, her mineral
wealth that few outside of her limits
realize hey agricultural capacities,and
that she can offer to the settler many
thousand acres of land as good - as that
of Bradford and Tioga counties, at a
price which will repay settlement,and
with .a market at good prices right at
the Ih - rm; as it were.
Cqn not our State Board. of Agri
culture and its practical Secretary
take hold of the matter, and with the
assiFtance of the Legislator do tome
thing toward such an exhibit ? ' It is
well known that the Secretary of the
' Board already • does double, the
amount of work in proportion {to his
salary of any other State Officer; it is
also known that his heart is in the
cause for which lie works. We doubt
very* much whether the Board can do
more god at less expense than to ar
range fOr \ such an exhibitas.proposed.
-It might \embrics. the agricultural
'productS rsirranged by, counties or
sections, and \need not necessarily
involve much eximnse except for ex
press or sampleS\of grain, woods,
grasses, etc., whicli, many of her
farmers ,would, we think, gladly fur
nish free of charge: \
, Can not the proper offices of the
Eihibition Company, enlist the assist
ance\f ', Secretary Edge and 'l4s co
\
laborer in the cause of agricultural'?

Gatousn \ HAY.—In some
places hay is cut into i nch and half
inch piiees and then g' und, for the
purposd,-of feeding cattle, tc., in the
belief :Of its adding to the utrition
of the food.. We always übted
this-theory, for the reason tha hay
in the usual manner iperformed `1
the offices of nutritii,n, as it bra
petfectly digested, Ad there was
nothing more to be Obtained. But
in-order to sustain our theory, we
consulted an old careful livery-stable
keeper,, who had many horses, and
who, in,a long series of, years, studied
the profit and loss in the varioug:sup
plies for his stock. He said there
was nothing gained in] feeding qrack
ed corn, but, on the contrary, there
was a loss in the increased pride de
manded for it. Also,] that cut-hay
was 'a lOss to the extent of the labor,.
which was by no means a trifle. Good
hay—Ad none other should be fed—
is eaten up clean where not too much
is g iven at a' time. Oats should be
fed whole, mixed with, a little bran
and moistened. • He said he usually
gave earth horse, in - the evening, a
couple of _ears of corn in the cob, and
they were greatly relished. His
horse's Were in the beSt of health, he
having lost but•two by disease in
thirty years.--Germantown Tele

•
GRAFTS.—Farmers frequentlk de
sire to alter the tops of apple and
pear trees which bear poor sorts. If
they procure grafts graftsi of desircable
sorts from a distance, they must be
well preserved through winter. And
it often happens that f l grafts cut late
in autumn are better than those
which have been injured in vitality
by exposure on the trees through a
sharp winter. There 'laze two ways
in which they may be ikept fresh and
plump till T spring, without becoming
,water soaked. One is to secure them
in an open box by two cross slats, so
as to half fill it, andl.then bury its
mouth downwhrds in dry spot. The
earth cannot touch (them, but its
moisture will prevent them from dy
ing. Another way is to encase them
in a thick layer of Moss from the
woods '
and 'miry them in a dry spot.
Grafts which have become wilted
.may be entirely restored by either of
these modes, in,the course of weeks.
