Sale Of the Patterson Herd in Mary
land.

One of our subscribers has kindly sent
us an account Of the recent public sale of
the fine stock Of the late George Patter.
son, deceased, near Sykesville, Md. The
whole farm, consisting of 1910 acres, was
also offered for sale, but was withdrawn
at bid of 800, 000-which was not
more than half the sum expended by its
late owner in bringing it to the highest
state of cultivation
"THB STABLEs.-When the team of
five Percheron horses were brought out,
many EXPLANATIONS of admiration were
heard, and they were first sold. Four of
the horses were bought by Mr.. OToole
for the Baltimore and Ohio railroad at
1926, $500, 1855, and s42O. The last
splendid specimen of horse was in fine
condition, weighing evidently between
100 and 1900 pounds. The fifth horse
sold for $500. A good and fine sized
riding horse, aged, was then sold for
1854 after which half-bred Percheron
colts, most of them three years old, sold
at the following prices 5000, s175
$3.50, 1886, 5000, 1926, and $500. The
sale of this stock was mark of the high
estimation in which it is held.
The thoroughbred horses were Of
fered but there was no sale at all, only
5000 having been offered for mare
which cost s2,400 to import. A three
year FLY, by Stonewall Jackson out of
Platona, was knocked down at S400, and
colt by Mars out of Promise, fetched
the same price. =. =
1.-THE sale of the Devon herd took
place; but we regret to say that the pri-
ces were small, when it is taken into con-
sideration the great care and attention
given to them and the well-known quail
ties of the stock, which have for years
taken the premium wherever exhibited.
Only so head were sold, the cows aver
aging $3.50, one year old heifers $50,
bull calves $50. Thirty head of pure
Berkshire hogs averaged s20,-one SOW
brought SAC, and was purchased by Mr..
Shriver, who is tenant on the farm of
r. T. Shipley, Esq. Sixty head of South
down and Shropshiredown sheep were
sold at an average of s12 per head A
large quantity Of farm implements were
also sold.
This was the largest sale ever held in
this county, and we understand it amount
ed to between $4,000 and $4,000.
Every facility was given for ex-
aiming the stock, and everyone express
cd their appreciation at the manner in
which it the sale was conducted"

the sap. Where it is scaly, hard and
impenctrable, as we often see, especially
in old trees, this sap is impeded in its
course, and becomes congested, an un-
healthy condition Of the tree results, and
the fruit is knotty and imperfect. Insects
also are much more liable to attack both
tree and fruit. in an unhealthy condition
of the bark, or indeed any other of its
inportand organisms.
On the farm no cheaper and more eff
fective remedy is at hand than mixture
of equal proportions, of soft soap aud lye.
Give one or two applications, according
to circumstances, to the body Of tree, as
high as one can reach and to where the
branches fork. One pound of potash
dissolved in gallon of water will answer
the same purpose. Apply with white
wash brush, and in hard cases we have
often used hand-scrub. The bark of a
tree should be soft and pliablc, so as to
be easily indented with the finger nail.
Avoid whitewash in all cases, not only as
a matter of taste, conveying the idea OF
whited sepulchres and graveyards to an
orchard where there should be only the
most vigorous life, but also because in our
observation it makes the bark hard when
it wanted to be softened 1t should GER
tainly be borne in mind that no tree can
bear fine and perfect fruit, which will
sell well, if it is unhealthy or unthrifty
from any cause. Vigorous, healthy life
constant thrift, should be the watchword
for fruit trees; and this requires the I'M
RENTING care of the fruit grower. The
time has gone by when, as in the early
settlement of the country and with vir-
gin soil, vegetation of any kind will take
care of itself

Our AGRICULTURAL PROGREss.-Col.
Skinner, the veteran agricultural editor of
the Turf, Field and Farm, thinks our
progress in agriculture has been rather in
the direction of labor-saving, through ma
chinery and implements, than in the
increase of staple crops He says -
1.-THE production of wheat per acre has
fallen away in the State of New York,
from an average of twenty down to eight
bushels per acre; in California from forty
to twenty. Ohio last year was an i'm
porter instead of an exporter Of grain.
AS regards the Indian corn, we have
learned nothing in the last forty years.
Fifty years ago, Mr.. Stevens, of Hoboken
and Mr.. Daniel Ludlow, of Westchester,
cultivated each three acres in corn for a
wager of fifty guineas. Mr.. Ludlow's crop,
measured by Stephens agent, was ninety
eight bushels and fourteen quarts to the
acre, but Mr.. Stevens won, making on
his three acres three hundred and fifty
four bushels and six quarts, being one
hundred and eighteen bushels and two
quarts to the acre When we hear of
such crops as this being of common &C.
currence in our day, we will believe in
progress as far as this grain is concerned.
The same may be said of potatoes, as
good crops were raised in Maine forty
years ago as we can grow now.

All Kinds of Sheep and Wool Desirable

Any and all of the breeds of English
improved long wooled, or combing, or
mutton sheep, as also of the fine cloth or
other fine wooded varieties. when properly
situated as also the legitimate crosses of
the English improved varieties crossed
within their own varieties-and of the
fine wooded varieties crossed within their
own varieties-are an invaluable and in.
dispensable branch of husbandry, to sue

culture.
The different pure bred families or va

The American wool grower or farmer
can and should produce all the different
kinds of wool required by the American
wool manufacturer to make the suitable
fabrics to clothe Americans, which viii
insure the necessary supply of mutton, the
most healthful and cheapest meat for al
climates and seasons of the year.
The breeder of any variety, opposing OIL
decrying other established varieties, o.
any legitimate cross, is no philanthrophis
or benefactor, and quite unworthy of the

How TO PREVENT THE ATTACKS OF THE
APPLE TREE BoRER.-At about the end
Of May or the beginning of June, accord
ing to the warmth of the weather, the
winged beetles of the apple tree borer
begin to deposit their eggs on the bark of
the tree. They do this at night, deposit
ing only one in place, selecting some-
times the forks of the main branches, but
more commonly the trunks of the tree
near the ground.
If, then, at about the first of May the
whole of the trunk ofthe, tree up to and in
Guiding the forks of the main branches,
be thoroughly washed with cold-made
soft soap, or even well washed with So
luton of potash, the alkali will kill the
eggs, or the young grubs as soon as
Matched, if the female insect should
chanch to deposit them on the tree. But
insects are all endowed with most wonder
full instincts, and it is very doubtful
whether the parent beetle ever deposits
her eggs on a tree that is covered with a
strong akali. Those who have tried this
preventive unite in saying that the trees
thus treated are never attacked by borers
of any kind, but remain sound and safe.
