The Use OF Scales ON the Farm.

We have been 10 the habit, for long series
of years, Of weighing all the hay, fodder
straw. grain, &c. fed or sold on the farm, aud
we are satisfied that we have saved the price
Of pair Of good platform scales every year
by so doing.
The profits Of farming depend very largely
upon attention to things small in themselves,
but 10 the aggregate amounting to large
share Of ones income. With this instrument
at hand be may know just how much corn il
fed to the hogs and poultry how many oatt
to the horse; how much seed is sown upon
the land and many other points equally val
liable to know. For instance, 10 selling live
stock, the weight is usually estimated by the
drover or butcher buying at the farmers
door.
The careless farmer feeds his cattle until
he thinks they are fat enough to turn of. SELL
them 10 the butcher at their estimated dressed
weight. and pockets the proceeds. How
mush Of the amount is profit be cannot tell
he did not measure the feed nor weigh th,
animal.
Long practice enables the buyer to weg
them very correctly with the eye, and thus h'
has the inexperienced seller at an advantage
which he is not slow 20 use. good Fair
banks Standard Platform Scales would saw,

The careful farmer feeds out grain b.
measure or weight, and charges il to the bul

bis platform scales 30 that the animal car
stand upon il, notes how much beef it show
for the grain eaten, and when the feeding doe
not pay, sells to the butcher or drover. Il
doing this he is not afraid Of the buyer

Plaster for Potatoes.

According to Mr.. Compton, author of the
prize essay on the cultivation of the potato,
very remarkable results are obtained from
plaster by busting the vines with it as soon
AS they are through the soil again, imme.
diately after the last poughing and hoeing ;
and at intervals through the whole growing
season. The first application may be light,
the Second heavier, and after that more boun-
tiful, say 200 pounds to the acre. 1t rend-
ers the plants less palatable TO insects, and
appears to be fatal to many Of the fungi fam
lily. The vines retain bright, lively green
color, aud the tubers continue swelling until
growth is stopped by the frost beside, pota-
toes thus groSn are so sound and free from
disease as to be easily kept for the spring
market, without loss by rot Mr.. Compton
says he has seen field, all planted with the
same variety at the same time, on one-half OF
which, that had received no plaster the Yield
was but GO bushels per acre, and many rot
ten while the other half, to which plaster
had been applied yielded $50 bushels per
acre, and not an unsound one among them,

Hay Gaps.

In the older States, where economy in farm
management is 80 much more closely studied
than in the newer parts of our country, no
farm is considered completely furnished with
out good supply Of hay caps. They are
found equally useful 10 securing hay and grain.
The harvesting coming after the haying, one
set of caps answers for both. About ten
years ago, when hay caps were comparatively
little known, one of the best grass counties Of
Massachusetts made a comparative estimate
of their practical value. Ii being a very un
favorable year for making hay, they took fol
basis the market value Of hay aud grain
made with use of caps. and that made as besl
they could without them, aud found the los,

he used are made of four yards Of yard.wid'

weight sewed into little bag aud attached t.

Surplus Box Honey.

When first began to keep bees always
put the boxes on the top Of the honey. board,
with holes in the bottom of the boxes cor
responding with those in the honey board, but
for some reason could not get them to store
much honey in the boxes. 1t occurred to me
that the difficulty the bees would have in get
ting across the space between the top Of the
frames aud the honey.board, and the distance
they had to travel through the honey-board
aud the bottom Of the box, about inches,
were the reasons why had no more box

Corn in Hills and Drills.

At the Michigan agricultural college in sGs
two plots of land were set apart, substantial
y equal in character of soil, each measuring
iorty rods in width. The ground wa,
powed May 9th, and manure was spread
'venly aud worked in by cutivator and har-
row. Yellow Dent corn was planted May
2.st, in rows four feet apart one Of the plots
,eing planted in bills, the other in drills
The plots were cultivated and hood June 18th
aud again July 9TH the plants being thin
ned 50 as TO leave the same number Of stalks
N each plot, including au equal distribution
# plants throughout the subdivision Of the
,lots. As nearly as possible, each of the two
plots received the same amount Of labor in
cultivation. The stalks were cut at the bot
rom September 18th, and stocked in good or
Ter; three weeks aiterwaId the corn was
nusked aud weighed. The stalks then again
carefully stocked, and were hauled and weigh
ed, in good condition, October 18th. The
corn on the portion planted in hills was better
quality than on that planted in drills. But
the drilled portion produced "a l-6 bushels
Of shelled corn aud three tons Of stalks 10 the
acre, against 65I bushels Of sheled corn aud
q tons of stalks per acre produced by the
portion in hills.
