Ghe farm and Garden.
"Tiht BunHer' on the Hay Ted
der.

/ Our friend Timothy brought n new
hay tedder into his fields last summer,
and has this to say upon the subject of
tedders generally
Nothing has awakened so much inter
est as the tedder since the subsoil plough
was introduced. The times have chang
ed good deal since then, and the pre-
sumption now is that q new tool is good
for something, especially if i, makes its
appearance in my fields. So many of my
Jobs have turned out well, and SO manv
OF my nelghbors have initiated my eX-
ample, that public opinion is very much
changed. | had heard and read good
deal about tedders, but never saw one
work until this season. | had a good
many doubts. The English tedder is a
heavy affair, quite likely to get out of re-
pair, and entirely unsuited to our Yam
kee ways. But the first time | saw one
OF our sort of tedders | made up my mind
TO have one. You see it just supplies the
last tool we wanted in hay-making The
mower, rake, fork, teddcr, all going bv
horsepower, make hyaing as light and
pleasant as any work upon the farm
The tedder saves good deal more work
than | had thought for. To begin with,
it does the work of at least ten men.
You can stir two acres of heavy grass in
an hour easy, and it is more thoroughly
stirred than it Is possible to do it by hand
power 1t is sent up into the air with a
sudden Jerk that shakes all the water out
OF it, and it falls back upon the ground
y loose that the sunshine can reach ev-
cry particle. This work is done in the
hottest part of the day, and the drying
GOES on very rapidly. The tedder works
50 fast that you can 60 over your field
three or four times, if it is necessary, and
yet heavy grass cured enough to 20 in the
same day il is cut. This is a very great
saving of labor. BY the old method it
frequently takes three days of tolerably
good weather to cure heavy grass. The
cocks have to be opened two three times
before the hay can 20 into the barn
Now, with the tedder, We can have the
hay all shaken out 10y eleven o'clock, il
it l. moved by that time, and by keeping
ii stirred up ii l. pretty well cured by
three in the afternoon, especially il the
grass Is fully fit 10 cut. 1t makes the
moving machine worth a good deal more
to us than formerly. for now we can
NOW all we want to in fair day, and
have no fears but we can get it up.
we used TO get 80 much down
that part o: it would get injured before
we could get it secured. One grand thing
about the tedder i, that il cures the grass
very uniformly. There are no wet, green
locks IN il, and even if il Is not quite
cured enough the tr-t day, 10y leaving the
cocks in the field covered with hav-caps
overnight, they will often be Just right t.
20 in the next day without opening. The
quicker you can yet hay nicely made and
out of the sun, the better. We have had
the tedder up for discussion in the Hook
crtown Club, and it has passed muster,
after pretty severe overhanling If we
keep on lnvemting new tools, expect we
shall get the farms 80 that they will run
themselves pretty soon.

APoTHEOsIs OF GEN. X. +. LEE IN
NEW 1oRK.-One afternoon not long
since, as Judge Francis, the genial editor
OF the Troy Times, was sauntering down
broadway, he was suddenly accosted by
! sharp-teatured, high cheek s-boned, black
haired gentleman in suit of spring
clothes, who grasped him warmly by the
hand, and said General, | do assure
you, sir, before God, that this is one of
the happlest moments of my life. My
heart is filled with gratitude to God that
l am permitted to thus grasp you by the
hand. God bless you, sir; God bless
you thousand times ~ Judge Francis
was slightly staggered at this warm
hearted salutation but before he could
express his thanks, the tiery-eyed south
erner continued "You cannot conceive.

army of Virginia. Yes, general YES,
sir. | would-before God, L would" SO
saying, the enthusiastic confederate put
his arms around Judge Francis, and kiss
ed him twice on the right cheek. He
then warmly pressed the judges hand,
and swept up Broadway with tears in
his eyes. The Judge stood like one be-
wildered for some moments then turn
ing to a friend, he said "Well, | de

Hhat Crops to Raise for Manure.

5. S. A, writing to the Country Gem
tleman inquiries ''What will yield Oh
Il given quantity of land, the largest
amount of matter suitable for feed an
making manure %
The three best crops for these purpos-
es are corn, clover and roots, such as the
different kind of field-beets and turnips.
All of these are excellent fer feeding and
making manure, and should be more or
less grown on every good farm. The
rich nltrogenous manure obtained by
feeding clover, if applied to wheat or
corn, will largely increase these crops.
There is no one crop so much better
for feeding and making manrre, as to
warrant its growth to the exclusion Of
all others. In a general way we may
say that clover gives the most value in
fertilizers, and corn and roots in feed.
The greatest value III feed and manure,
/ Tor u gwen amount in labor, may be Sc
cured 10y growing clover, and next prob
ably IN heavy crop of corn. The greatest
value OF oOtn per acre, will be in roots
and sown corn of some large variety
With plenty of land and dear labor. clo-
yer and planted corn may do the best
with little land and plenty of help, roots
and sown corn. BY making the former
the main crops, and feeding all on the
tarm-the manure saved and applied to
good advantage-money may be made
and very satisfactory improvement OF
he soil secured. BY taking the same
course with the latter, the same result
may be secured on small farm. On
most farms all can be grown to good
advantage. Not only is good rotation
Of crops best for the land, but it makes
better division OF labor enables the
farmer TO SO calculate his crops that no
one will seriously interfere with the 9TH

season. In such a rotation clover should
be most largely grown, as it may occupy
land two years. Corn next, occupying
the land one year. Then some grain
crop to seed clover with. Sown corn
and roots should be rs largely grown as
circumstances will admit, always keeping
in mind the more that is grown and fed
to good advantage, the better for the
stock and the land.
