FARMING THAT PAYS.
.. .
We find in the Chicago Post the follow
ing report of successful farming in Min.
riesota. It supports the idea that capital
and science may derive from agricrilture
profits quite equal to those yielded by
other stadard employments: '
Mr. Da rymple is a native of Western
r) ,
Pennsylv nia, and grew up among the
sterile hilts of that region. Being a man
of energy and ambition and sharing the
common aversion against a farmer's life,
he studied law and came to Minnesota and
I settled about the year 1857. Acquirin
cdmpetence rapidly in his prr`
I health became impaired, *wilt
i his attention to farming. 'A
'rience upon a moderate scale
I vinced him that a measure of
energy and sagacity requisi
pursuits would be at least equi

cupon a a liberal scale. He.

i "Sheridan'', farms. These comprised in
t„ the aggregate about 2,000 acres, of which
about 1,700 were allotted to wheat.
' His first' crop_ in so extended an area
was produced in the year 1867. The yield
i
was an average of 21 bushels per acre, or
a total of 35,700 bushels. He contracted
for the'transportation of his crop in bulk
ito Milwaukee for 21 cents per bushel,
where he realized from $1,60 to $1,85 per
bushel, netting about $1,50 per bushel, or
lan aggregate of $53,550. In consequence
&cif the extremely high prices which had
ruled the preceding year—seed wheat

.ibursements for first breaking and other
expensek —the net profits were somewhat
A less than . one-third of the total receipts;
Ant a clear profit was realized of about
;-$14,500.
- • The crop of: the foliowing year, 1868,
averaged about 23 bushels per acre, or an
1 -aggregate of
. 39,000 bushels, which he

wnzic TO CUT GRASS.
We find - the following, given in the
. :achusetts Agricultural Report, as
he views of Dr. Fisher with reference to
.e proper time to cut grass. We think
• the has put the time a little too early,
o secure the best 'results in quantity and
-* 'quality, but in the main he is correct:
:• "Grass should be cut just at the time
• hen cattle like it best, and that is long
. -fore it is in flower. If you will give
ttle th,eir choice, you will - find that they.
'lltake invariably the earlier and shorter
•
-a, before it throws up its flower stem.
S t may be that if you cut the grass at that
me you get but a very small crop, but it
just as much better as it is smaller. I
I. avo been experimenting upon this sub- -
ect for some years, and I have concluded
• at the best time to cut herds'.grass, if I
• n have my choice, Is when the seed
m just begins to show itself, and when
e grass averages from ten inches to a
oot in height. At that time the grass
!contains more nutriment than it does af..
terwards, because as it goes on it changes
to woody fibre very muck faster than it
increases the soluble Ingredients which
.serve for the nourishment of the animal.
therefore intend to cut my grass at that
time. , .
used to make the sane mistake that
almost everybody does. I did not begin
to cut my grass;until my first field was
ripe, and the consequence Was„ when I
ended. my last grass wa&spolled, which
is the case with a, great many farmers. - It
is important to cut all the grass when it is
in good condition, and the only way we
can get along with it is to cut the first too
dearly. I watched my grass this year
daily, and I came to the conclusion that
if I had cut it all on the 15th day of June
It would have been worth more money to
me than it cut later. I began about the
St.ti of dine and finished on the Sd of
=
July. I cut my lierds'-grass before !time!
shown a blossom, and I should he willing
to put that hay before cattle beside of any
other hay, and if they dill not choose
mine in preference to any other I should
be very muckinistaken.
"Then there is another thing to be con-
sidered. You get a second crop, which
is large and equally good quality. It
does not disturb the digestion of animals,
as rowen often does, and certainly two
crops are worth more than can be got off
the land. The effect of this upon cattle is
just like grass* It is dried grass; it is not
chips and'shavings, as a great part of our
hay is. A great portion of it is soluble,
and animals thrive well upon it. It takes
less to keep them; they will give more
milk, make better looking butter, and
more of it."
CULTURE OF. SMALL FRUITS.
A correspondent of the New York Fruit
Growers' Club lately asked the following
questions :
- 1. Will it do to continue pinching back
the young shoots all through the growing
season until frost, or should we stop in
the fall? If so, at what time? 2. How
long will blackberry and raspberry plan
tation last? I understand that some grow
ers recommend taking up the old
plants every four or five years, and set-
ting out new plants in their place. I hear
that the Antwerp raspberry is failing at
Milton on the Hudson river. 3. I have
seen it recommended to plow or furrow
up to the plants in the fall. Now, should
the soil be left during the next summer,
or taken away?
To these questions, Mr. A. S. Fuller
replied as follows:
It is difficult to give directions that will
suit all localities and soils. In regard to
pinching back the young canes of rasher
ries, my practice is to pinch back black
berries but once or twice in the season,
according to the strength of the plants,
and then only the main cane is checked,
as, I prefer to let the side shoots grow
their whole length, and prune them back
in winter or early in the spring. I usu
ally commence pinching off the main cane
early in July, and if the upper buds start
and grow too strong, I cneck them again
in August, but never later than the first
of September. Late summer pinching or
pruning is always injurious, particularly
if the plants are growing very vigorously,
because they are very . likely to produce
new shoots which will be killed by the
frost Besides this, the fruit buds which
are relid upon for the next season's
crop; will sometimes start in the fall, and,
of course, be destroyed by the first frost.
I haVe never found it necessary to check
the growth of rasberry plants in summer,
and I doubt if it is ever beneficial. The
duration; of raspberry and blackberry
Plantations will depend entirely upon the
soil and care given them. Probably
about five years is the average duration,
but I have known some to be as good at .
Afteen years, as they were at three and
and four years. Plowing the soil up to
the plants in the fall is certainly to be re
commended for both raspberries and
blackberries, but the soil should be made
level again in the spring.
DIGGING BETWEEN THE ROWS OF STRAW
A writer in the Gardner's Magazilit
says there is a diversity of opinion
among gardners as to the injury or bene: r
fit which is derived from digging between
the rows of strawberries. The late Mr.
Keen of Isleworth, the originator 'of
Keen's Seedling, was an advocate for
shallow digging. It is just possible that
his soil was rather light, and that; as the
strawberry delights to gr•vt In a tena
cious or good loamy soil, he objected
deep digging, for fear of loosening the
subsoil. In the neighborhood of Enfield,
whence the London markets are supplied
annually with large quantities of fruit,
the ground between the rows is deeply
dug, and allowed to remain rather rough,
so that the soil thus disturbed, may de
rive benefit from the influence of the at
mosphere penetrating it. Bosides this,
the constant treading between the rows,
tho they may derive nourishment from
the manure that may be applied, and to
admit the spring and early summer rains,
or any water that may be given to them
during their bearing season.
To destroy insects on the leavei of
your roses, an experienced gardener tells
us the following remedy, which we are
assured never fails, and the exp - ense is in
considerable. Take about two !ounces of
quaffs - Fa, which is cheap and can be pro
cured at any drug store, and put it in a
gallon of water, which boil twenty min
utes. When coldi wash the leaves of the
bushes with it. Many florists have lately
.been complaining of a little green insect,
- and they will do well to try the receipt.
To stop bees from robbing each other's
hives, put a small piece of camphor inside
the entrance of the hive which is plun
dered;
The public has yet to , learn the full ad
advantage of keeping - Oultry. Few seem
to appreciate what they may .do among
trees in an orchard. Let any one try
them in an orchard of a quarter of an acre,
where they may be kept by the picket
fence four or five feet high, putting in,
say one hundred and twenty-five fowls,
and observe the result. It will avoid the
annoyances in the garden, of which so
many complain, while - they will work
among the trees, doing just what is
needed, and destroying everything that
can Injure the fruit trees, in the
shape of bugs, worms or other
insects, and lay a large number
of eggs, which are a cash article,
to say nothing of the chickens, which
pay well enough for raising at the pres
ent time. I have tried it and know it is
so. I have about one hundred fowls,
`which have worked admirably among my
trees, keeping the ground in good condi
tion, keeping off the insects and promot
ing-the growth of the orchard. I am
satistied.that we have yet to learn the full
benefits which may be derived from the
proper =management of fowls, and it is
quite poisible that the method I have
suggested-may offer the best way of get
ting ottr apple orchards into bearing con
dition.
