Waiting for the Latest Improvement
DtlG rare County, Pa.

Arc You acquainted with Farmer Tardv? He
ia a cautions man, very cautious man. He is
what might appropriately be termed an exccs-
siye prudent individual-one Of that class who
is never taken in with ncw-fangled notions of
this inventive age. lie processes to lie
thoroughly acquainted with every thing he
purchase, and never (in his own estimation(
has lie been " taken in by dealers Ina word,
Farmer Tardy is the man who for years PAST
has been waiting for the latest improvement in
agricultural machinery Three years ago when
his neighbor Thrifty purchased the first reap
ing machine introduced into his section Of
country, farmer Tardy laughed heartily at his
ncighh0rs veTdancv. But Farmer Thrifty had
never been taught to hold the six-rence so
close to his eve az TO hide the dollar beyond -
Tardy'S pleasantries were received good hum0r-
edfy, and tie reaper was put 10 work The
first season, nearly one half the expenses Of
cutting his harvest saved, and the next showed
q similar result. I.abOrGrS were scarce and
wages high last season, and Thrifty, not only
saved enough to pay for his reaper, bat had
his grain harvested full week before his slow
but sure friend. Where was Farmer Tardv
all this while? You might have seen him las;
season, cautiously examine the different reapers
and mowers, seeking for the latest improve
ment, but evidently no nearer the object of
his search than when he commenced it four
years before. MCormicks was too heavy,
Mannys too light, Atkins to complicated,
Burrall's was only reaper, Aliens and ketch-
um's were only mowers, and he was fully per-
suaded that next year there would be some
thing still better; a machine that would
embody that great desideratum, the latest I'M
Prorcment.
Reader do You recognize Farmer Tardy.
from the description we have given If not
the vcritable Tardy himself have you not his
exact counterpart in your own own neighbor-
hood some one, or perhaps great many, who
are throwing away important advantages
while waiting for the latest Improvement men
who are growing poor daily simply because
they are too prudent to avail themselves of the
labor saving machinery, by the use of which
the enterprising and confident farmer is amas-
sing an independence.

POULTRY MASURE.-Po Poultry-dung, SprengeI
| informs us, is one Of the most powerful man
ures, and is therefore worthy of greater con
sidcration than is generally bestowed upon its
collection especially as it soon dccomposes and
loses much ammonia, and would lose still more
if it did not dry so quickly and thus prevent a
further decomposition OF the urea. The ma
nurc of Pigeons and domestic fowls is the most
valuable, because they feed mainly on Grain.
insects, and worms. To secure poultrv-dung in
IFS most valuable state, the floor of the house
should be strewed with soil abundant in humus,
the humc acid of the earth combining with the
ammonia of the dropl'ings thus saving it from
loss during the process of putrcfacation-
Strewing the floor with sand or saw dust is of
no use, unless in point of cleanliness The
droppngs Of geese are not so valuable as of
pigeons or chickens. When they come in con-
tact with the grass they quickly destroy it,
which fact is explained partly by the uric acid
it contains, and partly by the ammonia which
is so soon generated and developed on decom-
position. These caustic substances become
valuable as soon as rain falls and diIutes them.
The same writer remarks that poultry manure
should always be applied as top dressing, and
narrowed in lightly. If ploughed in, the main
soluble substances would be carried too deep
into the soil

WASHING Butter WITH New NuE-A wri-
ter in the Boston CRitirator, over the signature
of " Many" says he finds in q French work the

buttcr-makers in this country have ever tried
it, and if so, with what result The remark is
rs follows: To procure butter Of an excellent

finally with new milk The cream of the milk

The practice of washing butter with new milk
is not new, or common only to France; large
trade is carried on in and about London, in very
choice fresh butter The dealers purchase in
the country, butter that has been salted, but is
otherwise sweet. This is churned in sweet new
milk, and comes out in due time very delicious
article, which is sold daily at very high figure.

WooL.-The Importance Of this article as a
staple is but just beginning to be realized among
the farmers at the West The repeated fail
ures Of the wheat crop in that section of the
country, and its low price during an abundant
season have been causes for great discourag-
ment in the agricultural community, ard the
attention Of the Northwest having been FORUM
ately directed to the breeding of sheep, the
experiment has been found to work admirably,
and there has for the past three years been a
continually increasing clip Of wool sent forward
to market from the interior of Michigan, in the
aggregate amounting to some millions of pounds
The prices so far have been higher more
uniform, and better sustained, than those of
any other product of the farm, and it is be-
coming pretty certain that wool is to be the
leading agricultural product A Michigan
paper states that there are runners all over the
country buying up sheep pelts at exorbitant
prices, in some instances Offering 81 q piece.

CHoKED CArrT.r.-Whcn an animal is chok-
cd by substance getting into the windpipe,
the New England Cultvator directs to raise the
animals head, open his jaws as wide as posi-
bic, then throwing down his throat a handful
of gmpOwder. This will cause him to eject the
obstruction by coughing.
Choking may frequently be relieved by RAM
ming the obstructing substance down the
throat of the animal with a round smooth
stick.
