Sailing Hay.

We do not commend it, or, at least only
i'm moderate quantity, in extreme cases.
When our own food is too highly sailed
we reject it, or, if hungry, eat it with wry
faces and disgust.
All stock probably require certain
amount of salt, and if left to take it as they
please, it would not be much in amount,
and in quite small quantities at any one
time.
If hay is sailed as freely as many farmers
apply it, the stock consuming the hay
must take three or four times as much salt
as they would if they could exercise their
own choice about It.
This course compels cattle to eat what
they dislike through several months of the
year, and it seems to Us must tend to pre-
vent proper thrift, also to induce disease
in one form or another. Indeed it is stated
that whole herds are attacked with the
disease called scouTs, in consequence of
feeding continually upon hay too highly
sailed.
The haying season, with most farmers,
is driving one, so that every eXpedient
that promises to lessen the labor and get
the crop into the barn, tempts us strongly
to adopt it.
Under this idea there is little doubt but
hundreds of tons of hay are got in not suf-
ficiently cured. "a little salt will save it,
it is said a good deal is applied to it, the
cattle are forced to live upon it, and perni-
cious consequences are sometimes at least,
the result.
1t is cheaper and in every way better to
cure the hay thoroughly in the first place.
It saves the cost of the salt, secures better
fodder, and does not incur the risk of be-
getting sickness and disease in the stock
which is to be fed with it. Better pay the
money for hay caps than for salt for the
hay.-NC1c England Farmer.

Corn Culture.

That there is too much labor expended
on corn culture for the best interest of our
country none will deny, if they would only
take a true farmers view of it. There is
too much labor expended for the crop that
is made but that is not our idea. We re-
ly too much on corn. A farmer working
three, five, or twenty-five horses, can feed
much cheaper, and his stock less subject to
disease, with one-half the corn that was
used prior to the war, we assert. The eX-
pense of cultivating 20 acres and making
say 400 bushels Ofecorn on an average in
Mississippi, will plant eighty acres in oats
and grass, which will feed double the stock
We say manure well five acres for corn
and sow so acres in the red oat Craig will
have the supply, then put 20 acres in clo-
yer, orchard; herds and blue grass, setting
aside 10 of the best for no hoof to touch,
except when drawing mower these 10
acres will give, say 10 tons of No. l hay,
not costing SO per ton, which, with 10
acres in pasture, will feed better double the
number of horses than the 20 acres in corn
do. In the first place, there are not many
farms that five acres selected, and if
MANFRED high, will not produce so bushels
per acre. But oats are a better feed for
horses. One hundred pounds of such hay
as the above grasses can make are better
than 800 pounds of average corn blade /;
and the 10 acres of good pasture will feed
10 horses every day when not at work. Is
it not a great item to save the work on Is
acres in corn and substitute 10 in oats, then
20 acres in clover and grass, not compare
lively IA fifth of the labor, one blowing of
the 20 acres doing for five years anyhow :?
viii our friends think of this ? We de-
sire to see on every farm where 20 acres of
corn are plated, five acres in corn made
rich, so acres of oats and the grasses, and
thus insure room for a few good cows then

The Sugar and Tobacco Crops.

Havana papers give very encouraging
statements concerning the prospects of the
sugar and tobacco crops. The first is like
ly to be at least 90 per cent. better than
in 1871, when it was badly damaged by
a hurricane. The expectation for the first
week in July, this year, is 79G,54l boxes,
against 627 1862 boxes for the correspond
ing week last year; and there were in
store at the same time 4l0,G36 boxes,
against 3Sl 1913 for the corresponding week
last year; the total gain being 1877 SOP
boxes. At MatanZas there is an increase
of l6S, 149 boxes. The expectation of ci-
gars from Havana for the first six months
of the present year exceeds the same pc
Rod of last year by 100000 cigars and
of leaf tobacco by 924, 450 pounds. The
cigars exported are worth $6,S00,0O0; the
leaf tobacco 81 SOC, 600. The sugar export
alton is worth S74, 100000. Adding in the
exports from several smaller places, the
total value of both crops is estimated at
so, 900 600.

Thinning Fruit.

Though trees in a state of nature may
produce fine crops of fruit, it is only on
rare occasions, when the greater part OF
the blossom gets destroyed, that they pro-
duce fine fruit Go into Covent Garden
with a poor sample of fruit, and you will
be fortunate If you recompense yourself
the cost of plucking and carriage to mar
ket; take, on the contrary, sample of
fruit nicely packed, and you will sell at
once at the top market price. Now, the
difference between poor fruit and fine
fruit is Just the numerical quantity reduc-
ed. For example, a tree in good health
may have sufficient vigor to bring, say five
hundred fruits to great perfection if you
leave upon it one thousand fruits, they
will only be half the size, and perhaps
not that. Every tree has its fruit-bearing
capability, and beyond that it can not go
but if we want fine fruit it is always wise
to reduce the limit of production. This
reduction may be made either by thin
ming the fruit as soon as ii is set, or by re-
ducing the number of bearing branches,
or by both. The first thing, however,
should be to apportion the branches to the
size of the tree. No two branches should
be allowed TO cross each other, nor should
they be so thick or close together that the
suns rays can not, in the hight of the
season, penetrate TO every part Of the tree.
Then you can get fine, clean, well-cOlOred,
richly favored fruit-fruit that you may
be proud Of but if you allow the branch
es TO remain thick, 50 that a part of the
fruit is shaded, then an inferior sample
aud lew price at market must be the re-
suit. If an humble but at the same time
earnest, illustration of the doctrine We
wish to inculcate is desired, look 10 the
gooseberry growers they know they can
not have size and quanty at the same time
and therefore reduce the crop of their prize
kinds to a few fruits on each plant. If We
do the same with our apple and pear trees
we shall see less in our markets of what
the statesmen call seconds and thirds w

says "All the time during the recent hot
weather large number of stevedores and
laborers have been busy unloading coal
vessels, and there has been no hold-up by
those adopted citizens on account of heat.
An inquiry as to what they drink reveals
the fact that the men drink large quanti-
ties of ice-water with which is mixed oat-
meal, a handful Of meal to a painful of wa
ter. The men say that is the way they do
in the old country, and nobody gets sun
struck who uses oatmeal"

Points for Farmers.

THE ARMY WoRM.-The methods of
combating the army worm may be briefly
summed up as follows,
F'irst-Burn over the meadows, especial
ly the sloughs and low grounds, in the
neighborhood of the place where the
worms stopped their devastations, and
where, of course, they went into the
ground to TRANSFORM and where the moths
must first appear. The eggs are deposited
after midsummer and the burning may
be performed in the fall or winter, or
before the Matching of the eggs in the
spring.
Second-Fall blowing in the game stua-
tions would undoubtedly destroy most of
the eggs by burying them so deeply that
either they would not hatch, or the young
worms would starve.
Third-The progress of the worms,
when partially or fully grown, can be
checked by blowing deep burrows across
their path, and if the pains were taken
to dig under the upright side of the fur
row with spade it would make it much
more effectual.
Fourth-Hogs and poultry are fond of
them, and may be instrumental i'll re-
ducing their numbers.-PrdiTic Farmer.
