J3 ¢ Y FIELD AND FARM, Economy in the Expenditare of Labor | Philadelphia Record: Work improperly | done is sometimes a waste of labor, and on the farm there is often too much work « done for the results gained. Nor is such work mistakenly performed always, for often it 1s premeditated and in defiance of experience and reason. It is well known that all plants require a suflicient amount “of food,heat and motsture to enable them to reach maturity and yield to their full est capacity, and where the ground is annually devoted to crops the great diffi- culty is to retain its fertility and secure from itall thatshould be derived under the best possible conditions. Any diminution or deterieration of the plant food in the 01l must be resupplicd 1 some shape, and the smaller the amount of plant food possessed by the farmer, and the greater the area to be supplied, the more the difficulty of recuperating the soil will be increased. In the face of this fact farm- crs do not always take into consideration the propriety of curtailing the area to be cultivated, by which means they would be enabldd to supply a greater propor- tion of plant food to a limited space, and at the same time save a vast amount of labor. It is not as economical to grow thirty bushels ot wheat on two acres as it isto produce twenty bushels on one acre, for, while in the one case the farmer se- cures an extra ten bushels by reason of cultivating more land for that purpose, yet he has been compelled to perform twice as much work and to svread his manure over double the area of surface. There should be no more land put under cultivation than cun be properly man- ured or fertil 18 it is much better to huve one acre of strong, vigorous plants than two acres of plants improperly pro- vided for, while it requires just as much cultivation, seeding, harvesting and hauling for an inferior crop as for the better one. Nor does the influence end with a single crop. nd that has been bountifully fed will be in a better condi- tion for a succeeding crop, while that which has been overtaxed will adually lose fertility and entail an additional ex- pense every year. Itisan old rule that proper field culture should be the same as for a garden spot which is to use plenty of manure on small areas, work the soil to a fine condition for the se keep down the grass and w make every inch of space produce to its fullest capacity, instead of wasting time, labor and manure over iarge fields that cannot be properly cultivated, The Cut Worms. American Agriculturist: We are so fi-nurully asked about ‘‘the cut-worm’’ that it is evidently the popular 1dea that there is but one insect |Ieservintz that name, while in fact there are half a dozen or more, ail larve of different species of moth, Practically they might be regarded as one, did not some of them ascend trees, shrubs and other plants in their destructive work, while most of them confine their operations to the sur- fuce, and work their mischief by cutting off young and tender Elzmu even with the ground. Their work 18 done at night, and a8 _daylight approaches they hide themselves in holes in the ground. Cab- bage, when first set out, and lettuce and other plants of the garden, up to squashes and other plants of the farm, are attacked by them, (iruwimf muskmelons and water- melons for northern markets is now an important industry in the southern states, especially within easy reach of the ship- ping ports, some hundreds of acres being occupied by watermelons alone. The grower of melons, as well as of cabbages, etc., finds that his greatest obstacle to success is 1 the attack of cut-worms. Various devices have been proposed to ward off their attacks, but among these none appear to be 8o sensible or so effect- tive as that devised by Dr. A. Oemler, author of *“Truck Farming for the South.” Dr. Oemler Kkills off the cut- worms before the plants appear. Upon his watermelon fields he sets poison traps at about fiftcen feet apart each way. These “trnr“ are cabbage or turnip leaves,which have been moistened on the concave side and then dusted with a mix- ture of Paris green with twenty parts of flour, These leaves are placed over the field, poisoned side down, at the dis- tances above stated, before the plants appear. What f fows? The doctor facetiously says: *‘Two such applica- tions, particular in cloudy weather, at intervals of three or four days, will suf- fice to allow the cut-worms to make awny with themselves, which they generally do with perfect success."” Hints of Various Kinds. Marketing the produce is half the bat- tle. A farmer should use as much judg- ment on this point as any other, Pull the collars nwnifrom the shoul- ders while resting the horses in the field, #0 that the air can pass freely between them, A poor tool on the far: poses 2 tix upon the {igdr wvery day it is emploved, often greater in the year than the whole price of a good tool. A grindstone convenientiy placed roady for use leaves no excuse for work- ing with a dull ax or other cutting in- strument that never does good work. ‘The delicate fine flavor of the onion 18 said to be the best when it is first pulled and while it still has a green neck. When fully ripened it loses this fine flavor. Copperas 18 a splendid medicine to keep on hand for poultry. When they have the roup wash their heads with a solution of it, and put some of the solu- tion in the drinking water as a tonic. It provides them with soluteiron, which is NECessary. Since the value of dairy ealves is be- coming more and more acknowledged, the breeder should study the merits of sires. Itis not so much as to what the appearance of the bull may be as it is to know how many daughters of his can produce fourteem pounds of butter per weck. The simultaneous development of the bone, wool, fat and muscle in the sheep requires a wide diyersity of elements in the food. 1t would be impossible, for in- stance, to get ewes to thrive well on a diet of corn alone; they wovld grow too fat and would amount to nothing. Va- riety is absolutely essential, An analysis of hop refuse shows it to be worth $3.62 K“ ton. Supplemented by some phosphoric acid and potash, 1t might serve n place of barn-yard manure. The average barn-yard manure (partly rotten) usually contaming but 0.5 per cent of nitrogen, 0.26 of phosphoric acid and 0.6 of potash. Itis an easy matter to stunt the growth of the wool of tha sheep and the lnmbs, and a stunted growth is never desirable in anything. The longer we farm the more thoroughly satistiecd do we become that it gnyl to keep stock growing stead- ily all the time, just the same as a crop, and that any failure to do this is a failure to secure a8 much profit us we could. We often speak of farm, cow, stable and hen manure, a8 if a fixed value at- tached to either. HMen manure is especially variable in its manuriel ele- ments. An analysis made by Dr. Goess- mann of one sample (dry) shows a value of $10.55 per ton. It contained the usual mixture of feathers, earthy sublistances, ete. Of another (fresh) the anulysis shows 1t to worth but $3.43 per ton. _ Why not have hoe-handles flat or oval, like ax-handles? With such u handle the workmun can strike more accurately and fo work mnearer to Klunu. because the hoe will not turn in his hands. The edge will wear evenly and the hoe last longer than with the oid round bandle. The wrist 1s not so soon tired nor the uands ecramped with the flat handle. When you Bome to repair the old hoes put an oval candle in one of them, It is not a mistaken plan to give the boys a calf or a pig to raise. It teaches them atan early age to take an interest in farm stock. Egg plants are tropical by nature, and even o cool night will sometimes injure them; hence do not take them from the hot-bed too carly, Hot red pepper tea is the newest rem- edy for the cabbage worm. It 18 sprink. led over the cabbage while the tea is in nearly boiling condition. The war on insects should be made now, so as to kill them in their younger stages, Every moth or miller hatched becomes the parent of thousands. It is better to keep the spring calves until fall if the pasture be large and plentiful, as the cost will be but little, while befter prices can then be obtained if they be first put in good condition. Small a5 is the httle bantam fowl it lays a proportionately larger egg than any other breed. It pays, also, as well as the others according to cost, requiring less room for shelter and yard. It is better to plow deep in the fall and cross-plow aguin in the spring, 1f large quantities of fertilizers be used; but the cultivator should be used frequently in order to keep the earthtine and free from weeds, The best mode of treating a barren spot in the fields is to manure it and then sow some kind of crop (such as buck- vheat or mullet), to be turned under in a 1 state. Then seatter lime on it and leave it till spring. Grow a crop of pumpkins, as they will keep well for winter use and make an excellent change for the pigs. A farm kettle for cooking pumpkins will enable the farmer to utilize the crop to better advantage and as they can be grown in a cornfield after the last working of the corn, they entail but little labor and vell in proportion to cost, while are very highly relished by all s of stock, In attempting to make the food of the calf too rich when it is being raised by hand the digesti 3 be impaired, and scours be the result. Skim miik not sourced given somewhat warm is the best, but oat-meal gruel may be added three times a week a gill of linsecd meal twice a week with advantage. Do not however, change the food suddenly. If the calves and pigs were npelled to forage for a living, like the hens, they would soon become a nuisance, and fail to 'm_v, yet the hen is sometimes expected to lay under the most adverse conditions. If she is to pay a profit she must recelve the attention necessary to enable her to perform all that may be required of her. A remedy for maggots on sheep is said to be kerosene oil. Saturate the sore and also the wool around it), and inject the kerosene as decply as possible with the use of a syringe. It will kill them mstantly. As kerosene is very irritating and painful the use of crude " petroleum would perhaps be better. It is claimed that if a_sow be fed on flesh food, such as a piece of liver or cheap beef, first having the meat slightly sprinkled with salt, she will not be so iable todevour her young, asthe habit is said to be prompted by a desire for fiesh food. If she continue the practice it will be cheaper to butcher her. Every time you use the cultivator in order to kill out the grass and weeds you are at the same time stirring the soil, thereby admitting more air to the roots of the plants, providing a greater amount of moisture and converting the insolu- ble substances into plant food. Level culture is better than hilling, as it enables the cultivator and harrow to be used with greater facility, while the rains do not flow off as rapidly, whichis a very important matter during dry sea- sons, when light showers occur ouly at long intervals, Milch cows and steers do not require the same food and should not be kept in the same pasture if it can be avoided, as both kinds of cattle will thrive better from the separation, while the labor of managing them will be lessened. To avoid the forgetting of the practice of salting stock when it is given at stated periods it is suggested that a lump of rock salt be placed in the manger, so as to have it within easy reach of the animal whenever it may desire salt. Stagnant water is detrimental to all kind “of crops, and for that reason all fields should be tiled or underdrained in some manner. Underdrainings carries off the surplus water and allows more air and heat to enter the earth, Small fruits come in bearing in a year or two after the vines have been planted, while peach trees often bear when three years old. Every family having a small plot of ground should be able to have them every season, ————— THEY ARE SUPERSTITIOUS.

He finds who is ailing, and what the complaint; who has lost money or stock in & mysterious way; who is inclined to superstition, and in what particular direction; who has lost rela- tives, and whether they were old or oung, good or bad. He picks up and jots down in a memorandum book & perfect encyclopedia of facts and incidents, ‘and the book is sent to me at a point and at a time agreed upon. I am working another neighborhood, and some weeks after he has passed out of sight and mind, 1 suddenly appear upon the scene, 1reach the farm house of John Swmith about dark, and arrange to stay over night. After supver I ask him about his sister Helen, who diea of consumption ten ‘un before; about the horse that was stolen from his barn on the mght of September 21, 1879; about the hightning striking his barn in 1880; about his mother falling out of a wagon and breaking her leg twenty-one years before, and 50 on aud 8o on, proving, to the un- I bounded astonishmen) of the family, that 1 am entirely comversant with their his- tory.

I am entreated to tell where that horse went to; whether there isn’t treasure buried on the farm; what member of the family is to go next; when the hog cholera will appear next, and so on and ¢o forth. My terms s from $25 to $200 according to the gui bility of the victim und his ability to fork wver the needful. If he simply wants the Fnsl and future, [ can accommodate him or about $25. If he wants to know any- thing about buried treasure, 1 set my fig- ures at high-water my Out of, say twenty families in a neighborhood, cighteen will want my service and pay me well for them, and I will live in clover for u couple of weeks.” ‘‘But about the buried treasure?”’ “Oh's that's all right. In every popu- lous country, no matter what state is in, there are legends of treasure buried by the Indians or robbers. My partner fixed all that. He picks up an old Mexi- can dollar in some door yard or ba yard, and asserts that it must have been a portion of some treasure buried many years before. Inever saw a farmer yet who couldn’t be convinced that he owned al farm with a pot of gold and sil- ver waiting to bedugup. We bought 300 worth ot old gold and silver coin in New York asa starter, My partner has two or three ancient looking pots and jugs among his baggage, and he ages to make a burial somewhere in ea good workable neighborhood. It is 1o some prominent object, and I hayi difliculty in pointing out the place. When it 1s profitable to work the treasury racket I go into a trance, and see three hots or jugs full of money under ground. )ne is more accessible than the others, but it contains by far the smallest sum of money. 'That can be found in half an hour; the others will require days of careful search and dizging.

I give the name of the thief and locate him., This is also done just before I ons which will be appar- A very singular incident occurred to me in Indiana last summer. I wasin a neighborhood where a rich oM lady had lost $16,000 in bonds and jewelry. The box had been taken out of her house during her absence, and there was lutely no clue to the robber. She offe; me $500 to recover the property. I knew I couldn’t do it, but she hung on and was so urgent that to get rid of her 1 went into a trance and ‘saw’ the box in the loft of an old log house which I re- menbered seeing on the highway four or five miles from her lhouse. Itold her that it the box had been removed from there it was during a thunder storm, at which time I could not see. Well, take my head for a football if she didn’t send a man off on a horse that very evening, and inside of an hour he was back with the box! Yes, sir, found it exactly where Isaid it was, and the old lady counted me out $500 in the cleanest kind of greenbacks. My stock in that neigh- borhood went up 100 per cent. at once, and I reaped a golden harvest before I left. Isuppose the box was taken by a tramp, and he was just sharp enough to realize that an) mpt to sell the stufl’ would result ‘in sending him to state prison, He hid it away, perhaps intend - ing to recover it some, day, butmy trance came in ahead of him."” New York Truth: The badness of high hued dyes in hosiery is responsible for a curious incident at & recent fancy dress kettledrum. The girls who served the tea wore peasant gowns which disclosed their ankles. Among the merry maidens was one young and pretty widow, as be- witching as they, and twiceas audacious in a discreet way. Their sub-rosa con versation turned on their display of an- kles, and the widow whispered to a com- panion: “I'll bet you a box of gloves that I will take off my stockings alto- gether, serve out tea for the rest of the atternoon ~with bare ankles and no- body will discover it.” The wager was made. An impromptu committee of the amatuer peasant girls accompanied the widow to the dressing room. It was very warm in the avart- ment and the stockings belonging to the costume were exceedingly gay in color. She drew off her hosicry. s she hkad caleulated her smooth skin usderneath was printed with the%mttern of the stock- ings, and 1n tintd not much dimmer or blurred. When her slippers were put on again no unsuspicious spectator would have imagined that her shapely ankles were bare. She won her wager. The Invalide Russe, the official journal of the minister of war, gives the effective forces of the czar on the 1st of January, 1886. According to this account the Rus- sian regular army numbered at that time 824,762 soldiers and 30,655 generals and officers, 'The reserves amounted to 1,600,815 men. The militia of the first call counted 2,160,000 men. And this without counting the Finland regiments. ————— OMAHA WHOLESALE MARKETS General Produce. Saturday, June 4.
