STEEL PLows.-A b. Allen, of New
York, says: Il would sooner pay double
the price for steel plows than accept as a
gift the best set of cast-iron plows to be
found in the United States Though ever
50 hard chilled or smoothly polished, cast
iron will foul, more or less. on the mold
board, in every kind of soil, from a sandy
or grayei!y up to 4 heavy clay loan. The
dirt thus gathered on the noid-board adds
greatly to its draft and prevents good work
Another objection TO cast iron is. that, in
order to get eqHal strength, the wei git mast
be considerably greater than with steel. and
this Is a hard drag nil day, and req aires u
much stronger team. 0. this any one may
quickly con, iuce himself without resort t.
cynamometcr or any other mccnS Of testing
tie dIait. He has only to hitch a Iigl team
10 a steel pow. aud n stronger one to the
cast iron, and work them side by side. III
this way | have found that q pair of fou-
icen-hand ponies would do about the same
work, and with as much ease to themselves,
a. pair of sixteen-hand horses. The same
observations about material will also apply
TO cultivators. In thus candidly advising

rior merit of steel plows. | am speaking di-

tiles, giving their feeding value, taking
good English hay as the standard. This
table gives the number of pounds of the
various kinds of roots required to equal 100
pounds of hay, and we have Sugar beets,
336 pounds; mangold wurzel 367 pounds
carrots, 69l pounds; Swedish turnips, 803
pounds. The value will vary according to
the use the farmer wishes to make of them.
To one furnishing milk for Winter market
or fresh butter to regular customers through
the year, the enhanced price at this season

duce these articles. The Hon. Harris Lewis,
OF Herkimer County, n. Y, in a paper read
at a meeting of tie Little Fails Farmers
Club, places the value at as many cents per
bushel as hay Is worth dollars per ton.
This price viii make a ton of lee;s worth
1884, when hay is worth SO per ton, or
CO.. pounds to 100 of hay. This is the nu-
tritioas value alone (and think Mr.. Lewis
places the value altogether too low) without
estimating the advantages derived from
their use IN other respects 1t Is difficult
matter to give an exact estimate of the

The prices paid for beets for feeding Indicate
the value placed upon them In the village
OF Mlddebary, near my place, the price
last fall was SO per ton, and this was the
average price for several years past, hay
worth Sl4 per ton. a gentleman from
Taunton, Mass, wrote me last Winter that
he sold his crop Of beets for Sl7 per ton,
and had contracted his next crop for the
same price. Hay was worth then from S25
to S2S per ton. The cash value Of an acre
of beets at these prices is far above any of
our grain erops. The crop that Mr. Lewis
raised in 1870 of "A tons per acre at Si7
per ton would bring $748. This crop was
raised for $40 cents per bushel, or SI.76
per ton, or S76 per acre, leaving profit of
S61o-a profit equal to most OF the market
gardens near our large cities.

AT late meeting Of the Alton, H., Hor-
ticultural Society, Dr.. Hull expressed the
opinion that the superbundance of peach
blossoms may prove a calamity 1t GER
tainly will. he declared. if the thinning
process is not resorted to in order to have
marketable fruit. Unless the abundance
now promised is cut short. or regulated bv
careful thinning, we shall have fruit enough
(of poor quality) to impoverish even the
commission men" Mr.. McPike asked If
the fact that great many trees We're killed

this catastrophe. The doctor thought not.
and gave his reasons for expecting an un-
usually large peach crop. There is, how
ever, one fact that may, in few years.
lessen the peach crop; and the doctor
seemed to think that Michigan, for example.
Is going in the way of New Jersey. 1t is
not improbable that Michigan growers viii.
in brief period, lose their peach trees by
that dread Disease, the ''yellows." Three
years ago, only about one tree in ten was
affected by the yellows in Michigan. Now
We have estimates that from one-fourth to
one-half Of all the trees in that district are
dying from this cause. DIR. Hull explained
the nature and character of the disease. and
evidently has little hopes of an orchard in
which it prevails.

Faithful Reporters.

As a sample of how little beginning
grows to stable results, it may be noted
that the Connecticut Legislature, Just before
its adjournment last week, voted fourteen
members of the press $500 "for their atten-
tion to business and the accuracy of their
reports and to remember how this custom
of gratuities to reporters in the Connecticut
Legislature Ori mated. In 1868, reporter
of Hartford paper went out upon social
expedition one afternoon, just before the
session ended, with member of the House
OF Representatives, and by the time the
afternoons work was finished, the member
was thoroughly mellowed. and promised his
bibulous colleague to introduce q resolution
into the House giving the reporters in that
body S;2j each for the fidelity of their re-
ports" In day or two the day of adjourn
ment came. In its closing hours, the ap-
peal from the member drunk to the member
sober was responded to by fulfllnent of
the promise, and the resolution introduced.
was passed, and the reporters fobbed the
money. The next year the game was re-
peatcd, and on the year following SIS was
called for in the Senate and House, and
paid. Year by year the reporters have
raised their rates until, as already stated,
this year $500 has been paid for the SAC
curacy of the reports they were engaged
and paid TO make by their employers of the
press.

SHEEP AND TApE WoRM.-The Melbonrne

SHEEP AND TAPE WoRM-The Melbourne
(Australia) Leader, in relation to hydatids
in sheep, and the transformation from
thence into tape worms, says:
''The annual loss Of young sheep through
becoming cranky is considerable, vet on
many, if not all, Of the sheep stations, the
disease is actually propagated unwittingly
When cranky sheep is put out of its mis-
cry, its head is divided and thrown to the
dogs in an uncooked state Thus the hyda-
It'd in the sheep brain becomes a tape-worm
in a dog. and in very short period of time
millions of tape-worm eggs pass from the
dog, and are drifted about by the wind and
are carried by water. For weeks and months
they retain their vitality, unaffected by heat
or cold, rain OF drought. Sheep, in picking
up their food, or in drinking water out of
shallow pools or crab-holes, swallow one or
more of these eggs, which get into the blood
circulation, and thus to the brain, to form
a hydatid and make another sheep cranky.
So the sheep and dog react ON each other"
