narrowing sYheatin Spring.

There has been considerable SAID
about the advantages OF narrowing
wheat in the spring; but all that has
been written on the subject does not
convince us that it is to be recommend
ed. Instead of being an advantage We
regard it as decidedly injurious. II
tearing the wheat ont of the ground
and exposing the roots, which harrow
ing must produce, will benefit the crop,
we will have to reverse all our IDEAS as
TO what is beneficial and what iDJuri.
Gus, as well rs the common practices OF
generations. Instead of narrowing
wheat in the spring, loosening aud
drawing on: the grain, roll It, in order
that that which is spewed out by the
thawings and freezings of winter, may
be firmly pressed back into the ground.
This, We know, has the happiest effect,
and will. in most iustanccs-that Is
where the grain has been disturbed by
the frost-largely add To the product.

will Farming Payt

We see this heading in our agricni-
tural and other journals ali over the
country. with all kinds of answers,
some of which are prepOsterouS. The
truth is, farming is like any other busi-
ness and will pay just in proportion as
it is well and properly followed. a
poor, lazy, an ignorant, neglected. or
an Incorporate farmer will find the
business TO "pay" badly enough, and If
he makes both ends meet at the end OF
the year he will be lucky. But If he
follows the business carefully, energet-
ically and intclligently, there is none
that will pay more literally, or at least
more certainly. We look upon farming
as the most sure, inviting, and indie
pendent pursuit that exists. No man
uualified for il ever fails" or becomes
poor. On the contrary he is annually
becoming richer aud his family more
comfortable and happy. ASSuredly
farming will pa" all who know how
10 conduct it.

Rutn Bagn EurnipS.

One of the best field crops where a
large quantity of stock is kept over the
winter, and sncculent food is required,
is that of tue ruta baga turnip. 1t is
hardy, nutritious, and with proper
care can be made to yield heavily to the
acre. Mixed with cut hay, straw or
fotldcr, it makes the best of winter
food for stock, and especially for milch
cows; and as a table vegetable, in early
spring is preferable to the white turnip,
which is apt to grow pithy at that sea-
son.-N MARYLAND Farmer

scn.on nnd Crop. in Northern Ohio.

The editor of the Rural Nelc- lOrker
says: During last week we visited sew
eral points in Northern Ohio, and had
opportunity TO observe the state Of the
crops. Though the season is some two
weeks later than usual, the crops gen
orally appeared promising. In some
sections complaining had been delay
ed by wet weather, but most spring
crops were starting finely. The copious
blossoming of apples, peaches, etc, in
dicated fine prospect for an abundant
yield of fruit. About Cleveland,
gainesville, Willoughby, aud other
towns in that region, large quantities
of potatoes are being planted, the
present high prices, and favorable soil
for the crop, inducing many farmers to
make that a leading product this sea
son. In one instance, near PaIGesyi!!e,
land is rented at $50 per acre for potato
growing"

Hint. worth Following.

The following hints ale from the Cars
dener's Monthls, and are true TO the let
ter: Isl /. -
As soou as a plum or cherry knot can.
be discerned swelling out, cut it away
and burn it. When yon see any sign
of change in color on the bark of your
pear trees, cut away and burn that also.
And when you see any black marks on
the leaves Of apple trees, livid spots on
the grape foliage, or any change what
ever from the normal hue, cut away and
burn the whole thing. By this means
shall you prevent their seeding-and
thus only can you ever keep in check
scourge which is really, in some neigh
borhoods, O mighty obstacle to sue
cess.
So with insects; as q soldier wsuld
say, they must be attacked directly in
front. Strategy is not of much use.
Hand picking, tree shaking, and collect.
ing grubs and larvae, must be the chief
reliance of the practical man. He
who has not "time" to attend to these
things, will have to buy his fruit of
