A NEW WAY TO KILL GRAssHOPPERs

Henry Purry, of Murray county,
says the Marshall Prairie Schooner,
adopted a new plan for killing grass
hoppers, which we think a very good
one. Making wooden roller he
loaded it with about toms weight of
stones and ran it over his grain-as
he expressed it, 81 just smashed 'em
right into the ground grain and all"
A rain coming on Immediately after
brought the grain out all right, but
the hoppers were completely democrat
lied, in fact were nearly all killed
outright; and none have since been
upon his grain. MIR. Purry had as
good a crop of wheat as any man in
the county-thinks it will yield not
less than twenty-five bushels per acre.
He thinks that wherever the grass.
hoppers hatch out upon grain they
can be readily disposed of by rolling
them into the ground without injur-
ing the grain. Here is a valuable
hint to farmers.

SAVE The MANURE.
From the TURNER'S Union.

WV WV - " "s"o S'''o'''
In new sections of agricultural
countries, where the ground is SO rich
as to produce in abundance, farmers
forget that manure has value, and
often take the most convenient mode
of disposing Of it, such as dumping it
in rivers, hollows and creeks, any
where, in fact, so that it is got out of
the way. If farmers would reflect,
this would not be done, for they
would at once see what has been de-
monstrated thousand times, that the
richest land can be exhausted by con-
tinuous cropping. The early farm
ers in Ohio and Pennsylvania used to
dispose Of manure in the way indi-
Gated, but have of late abandoned
this suicidal policy, realizing that
they could not continually draw from
the soil without making some returns
in other words, they have learned
that there must be reciprocity be-
tween them and their land. Many,
however, never learned, and after ex-
hausting their fields by continual crop
ping, have deserted their lands, think.
ing they were sworn out" to seek
more new land to impoverish in the
same way. The South has suffered
more in this way than the North, and
there are thousands of acres of land
left there worthless, which, had the
manure been saved, might to-day be
yielding remunerative crops Of corn
and wheat.
The land about Portsmouth and
Norfolk, Va, used to be very pro-
ductive, and the immense quantities
Of manure made in those cities, were
for long time dumped off the docks
to get it out Of the way, but suddenly
there was found q market for it.
New York farmers went down with
steam barges and sailing vessels and
bought it for mere song, or what
was better for them took it away for
nothing, 50 as to accommodate the
people, and in consequence, fields up
the Hudson began to yield magnificent
crops, while those about those cities
began to give out, and scarcely re.
turned enough to pay for cultivating.
In 1868 the farmers about there
began to see their mistake, and the
shipping Of manure to New York
ceased, and now fine crops are grown
on those fields. The farmers who
bring in their loads of produce take
back loads Of manure.
There are many ways Of saving ma.
nure, but probably the best way,
when you do not use it for present
use, is to house it. Sheds compactly
built will keep manure thoroughly
packed for years.. and the time will
come, and is not very far off either
when it will all be wanted. Another
and good way is to pillow it in on land
that is not in crop, for there it will
stay until wanted to feed crops. Let
the farmers of the Northwest bear in
mind, and hereafter save and make
with the straw and stalks from their
fields all the manure they can, for it
will all be wanted when the cream
has been taken off from their new
land

If an edge tool is so hard aso to

the edge turns blue; it will then
cease to break, and the temper will
then generally prove to be about

treated in this way will give no fur

Why should fish or meat that is
frying be frequently turned? Be
cause the turning assists the evapora-
ton of the water. When the fish or
meat is allowed to lie too long, steam
is generated under it, and the SUBJ

ment the steam is driven off, the sur.
face catches to the hot pan, and be

To AVOID GREASY BUTTER
Churn with pressure instead of fric-
ton. The dash churn brings butter
by pressure, and makes better butter
than most other kinds of churns.
Butter should also be worked by
pressure instead of friction. The Ia

across the butter, but pressed down
upon it.

WITH FoAL.-Take rope, strap or

measure again, just forward of the

around in the latter place than in
the former, you may safely conclude
she is with foal.-Rural Menu York.
