CROP PRosPECTs.-The Western RI
raj has collected a large amount of infor-
nation about crops in the Northwest,
which it published in last weeks edi-
ton. The following is a summary:
Wheat reports indicate that the acre
age of wheat is much less than last year.
In Illinois but three reports indicate
increased acreage, while twice as many
show but half as much or less. In Wis
consin no reports show an increase, but
two an equal acreage, while seven show
no more than one-half In Iowa nearly
the same condition is shown. In Michi-
gan the acreage was not materially re-
duced. In some of the newer States
. increased acreage is reported as to the
condition. Reports are not unfavorable.
Michigan makes a poor showing. Illi-
nois stands well. Wisconsin and Iowa
very large, but the general average is not
bad. Corn: Undoubtedly the acreage
planted in the West IL larger than in any
former year. In Illinois reports show
an increase of 20 to 25 per cent. Wis
consin is not great corn State, but
shows an increase of at least 25 per cent.
in acreage Michigan and Missouri also
show considerable increase. Reports of
condition are not so good as desirable,
but probably many of the unfavorable
reports indicate lateness of the crop
rather than the bad condition, otherwise
bearing in mind the comparative guam
titles grown in other States, and our re-
ports will show about four-fifths of a
crop.

ABOUT TURKEYS.-Geo. W. hutchin-
son of Chautauqua county n. Y, asks
what is the matter with his turkeys,
which stand around with dropping head
and wings, are puny and refuse to eat.
Their food has been scalded corn meal,
wet bread and curdled milk. Herein is
probably the cause of the trouble. Very
young turkeys should be fed sparingly
at first, and need no food until they are
"a hours old. Then give them curdled
milk, and hard boiled eggs; very little
OF the last will answer. By ali means
avoid feeding salt. Probably the salt in
the soaked bread was injurious, and such
hearty food as scalded corn meal was
certainly so, if given before the turkeys
were three weeks old. A Brahma hen
is an excellent mother for young tur-
keys. Feed very lightly at all times as
directed and allow the turkeys as they
grow older to get most of their own liv-
ing, and our friend will probably have
no difficulty.-MOore'S Rural NetD- York

THE KITCHEN.-We will give to intel
Iect, to morality, to religion, and to all
virtues, the honor that belongs to them.
And still it may be boldly affirmed that
economy, taste, skill and neatness in the
kitchen have n great deal TO do in max
ing life happy and prosperous.
Nor is it indispensably necessary that
house should be filed with luxuries.
All the qualifications for good house
keeping can be displayed as well on
small scale as on a large one.
A small house can more easily be kept
clean than a palace. Economy is most
needed in the absence of abundance.
Taste is as well displayed in placing
the dishes on a pine table, as in arrang-
ing the folds in damask curtain.
And skillful cooking is as readily dis
covered in nicely baked potato, or a
respectable iohnny-cake, as in a nut
brown sirloin or brace of Ofcanvas-backs.
The charm of good housekeeping is in
the order, economy and taste displayed
in attention to little things; and these
little things have a wonderful influence.
A dirty kitchen and bad cooking have
driven many n one from home, to seek
for comfort and happiness somewhere
else.
Domestic economy is n seience-a
theory of life which all sensible women
ought to study and practice. None of
our excellent girls are fit to be married
until they are thoroughly educated in the
deep and profound sciences of the kitch-
en-.
See to it, all ye who are mothers, that
your daughters are all accomplished by
an experimental knowledge OF good
housekeeping.

YIELD OF BUTTER BYAJERsRy

fIELD OF BUTTER BY JERSEY Cow.
"A correspondent of the Agricultural
Department from Washington, Vermont,
reports that in the ten months following
April 4, 1874, Jersey COW, owned by
Mr.. Nathan Skinner, of Plainfield, yielded
five hundred and three and one half
pounds of butter, besides milk and cream
for two persons. Two quarts of meal
per day were fed to her, and, after the
first of September, two quarts of bran

An AGRICULTURAL ODE.
BIZ WILLIAM c. BRYANT.

Far back II ages
The plow with wrcaths was crowned,
The hands of kings and sagcs
E1twined the ehaplet round
Til men of spoil
Disdained 20 toll
By which tie world was nOurished,
And blood and pillagc were the soil
In which their laurels dOurished,
Now the world her fault despairs-
The guilt that stains her glory
And weeps her crimes amid the cares
That form her earliest glory
The throne snail crumble,
The diadem shall wane;
The tribes Of earth shall humble
The pride Of those who reign:
The warrior shall lay
His pOmp away;
The fame that heroes cherish
The glory earned in deadly Tray
Shall faie, decay and perish;
Honor waits DER all the earth'
Through endless generations,
The art that calls the harvest iorlh
And feeds tb expectant nations

CLOVER WITHOUT SEEDING.-Mr. G.
+. Newton, of Ohio, recommends a meth
cd of growing clover without sowing
seed every time the field is plowed. In
brief, the method is to let the younc
clover go TO seed and leave the crop on
the ground. The practice is good one
In some cases, as it nearly insures a good
catch; but it is not the most economical.
nor the best. Practically it leaves on
each acre one to two or more bushels of
clover seed, to come up in subsequent
plowings, and much of it, in Northern
ATTITUDES, TO start in the fall and be killed
the following winter. The better way Is
TO harvest and thresh the clover seed,
and, at the proper time, SOW one peck to
the acre, which will always be enough
if the ground is in good condition. With
all possible care in saving clover seed,
much will be spilled on the ground-not
lost, but only left in good shape for grow
ing at subsequent plowings. Growing
clover seed is generally profitable bust
Dess-less from the direct sale of seed
than from the improvement of the soil
which clover growing always insures. On
a Held where one or more crops of clover
seed have been grown, a good catch may
often be had from light seeding, or
even without any. 1t is better, howev-
er, always TO sow some clover seed, no
matter how much may be in the ground.
Some of the self-sown seed may start too
early in the spring and be destroyed by
frosts so that only what is sown may be
available for that crop.

uaetenIne termination.

M HecxeI has made some experiments
in the examination of seeds, in order 10
notice the effect of different chemical
compounds. He placed the seeds be-
tween sheets of blottingpad, and treat
ed them with the several compounds, as
follows:
l. He sprinkled one-half grain of fine
Iy-pulverized camphor between the
sheets.
2. Bromide Of camphor one half grain,
in the same condition and a SIMILAR man
ner
3. One-half grain bromine water, and
an equal quantity OF puIverized CAM
phor.
4. Bromiue water alone.
5. Bromide of potassium, finely pul
verized.
6. Chlorine water.
z. Solution of iodine
Under normal conditions, seven to
eight days were required for termination.
With the application of the different sub
stances named, the time OF termination
was as follows: Bromide of camphor, sc
hours; camphor, 4 to 5 days; camphor
and bromine water, first time, 80 hours;
second time, 26 hours; third time, &c
bours; bromide of potassium, no effect;
iodine, 5 days; bromide, 3 days; chic
rine, 2 days.
Since the effect of bromide of camphOr
is so much more marked than that of
either of It's constituents acting singly, it
is evident that in its action it suffers no
decomposition. 1t should further be
remembered that it acts without being
dissolved, and the author therefore con-
siders that the influence is due to the
voIatilization of the compounds. He
further experimental upon the influence
of the alkaline borates and siIicates in
small quantities, and found that such
slight application as $50 milligrams in 20
grams of water retarded termination
from one to three days, and that when
the application was made somewhat
stronger, 600 milligrams in 20 grams of
water, the phenomenon was suspended.
He also found that arsenious acid and
the soluble arseniates arrest germina-
ton, and destroy termination when ap-
piled in so small quantity rs $50 milli-
grams in 90grams of water.

Thoughts about Summer FaIIowing.

tHOdBUIS dDO0t SOHiiH0t FoiO"Hi6'
Moses allowed divorces TO the children
of Israel, not that divorce was justifiable
but. we are told, ''bQcause of the hard
ness oftheir hearts" In IHuch the same
fashion We must continue to allow the
system of naked following for wheat TO
American farmers because of the hard
ness of their heads. A good summer fall
low is sometimes the only really good
culture that farmers will give any Of
their land, and in such cases of course
summer fallowing is advisable. But Of
teaehabIe men-farmers who are willing
to think and learn-the old-fashioned
system is expensive, wasteful and unprof-
liable. Most of the advantages Of ma
ked fallow are obtained by hoed crop
well cared for TO precede wheat, and
what the soil loses in fertility by the crop
taken off can be repaid two or threeiold
by purchased manure OF some kind. If
this be not 50, then it logically follows
that all cropping is ruinous to the farm
er, and the larger the crop the faster the
soil is exhausting itself, and the poorer
the farmer becomes.
Killing weeds can generally be done
as well or better with corn or potatoes
than with a naked fallow, with the ad-
vantage that the increased crop of corn
or potatoes will pay the expense. The
advantages Of summer fallow is, On heavy
soils remote from market, where clover
that could not otherwise be marketed
can be plowed under. Even then a crop
of hay can usually be cut and the ground
plowed Immediately after, so as to give
time for the soil to rot 1t will be strange
indeed if the average farmer does not
find this clover hay 'come handy" be-
fore the following spring. The risk of
losing two years for a crop of wheat at
present prices of that grain and its un-
certain yield, are more than most farm
ers would care to take. A safer plan,
where amelioration of the soil is aimed
at would be to plow in the fall and leave
the land exposed to the freezing and
thawing of winter Then seed to clover
with barley in the spring.

STRAwBERRIES.- wash straw
berries or raspberries that are intended

gritty as to require this process, keep
them off the table. You will certainly
ruin the flavor beyond repair if you wash
them, and as certainly induce instant

the eaters stomachs, if, after profaning
the exquisite delicacy of the fruit to this
extent, you complete the evil work by
covering them with sugar, and leave them
to leak their lives sourly away for one to
two hours.
Put them on the table in glass dishes,
piling them high and lightly, and pass
