Since last Friday we have had splendid
weather Tor the farming interests. A great
many had expected to thresh their grain
out of the shock and the frequent rains
that we had, during more than week,
were doing considerable damage and were
causing much uueasiness. Since Friday
there has not been any rain and all the far
mers were either threshing, or stacking
and very few days will secure
the crop. The damage yet is very slight.
For corn the weather is perfect. All
that it needs is that frost should hold of a
short time There is probably four times
the amount of corn that WAS ever before

ment was being tried, it proved fail
urc, in consequence of the deficiency of
potash. Where the fertilizer was used
on potatoes, it produced at the rate Of
PIG bushels to the acre, against l2S
bushels on same kind of soil, without
the fertilizer. In one instance, on poor
soil, he got at the rate of lO4.6s bushels
of corn to the acre. Tobacco was con-
traband at the College, but the fertilizer
had been tried on that crop outside, and
produced at the rate of 1850 pounds to
the acre of beautiful leaf
The Professor said it might be asked
why, if he could raise 20 bushels of
corn to the acre with special fertilizer,
he might not go on, and, by increasing
the quantity, raise so bushels, 10 bush
els and so on indefinitely. But it must
be remembered that plants required
sunlight, air, and warmth, and there
were limits which could not be over
passed

THE DOMINIQUE FOWL.

A correspondent in the GERMANTowN
TELEGRAPH grows eloquent over the
merits of this old barnyard favorite:
This truly valuable and meritorious
fowl, as its name implies, is the oldest
of the distinctive American species,
being mentioned in the earliest poultry
books as an indigenous and valued
variety. In the New Standard of
Excellence " they are described as fol-
lows: "The cock-comb double, square
in front, fitting close upon the head, top
covered with small points, with peak
behind turning slightly upwards; wat
ties broad and full, well-rounded on the
lower edge; beak bright yellow, short,
stout at base, tapering to the point ;
eye large, bright and clear; head me-
dunn size, carried we'll up; deaf ear
red, neck medium length, finely tapered,
well speckled; breast very broad, deep
and full; body large, very square, com
pactly built; wings medium size, carried
up, bow and tips covered with breast
and saddle feathers tail full, expanded,
sickle feathers carried medium height
and well curved; thighs large and
strong; legs rather short, stout, we'll
spread apart, free from feathers, and
bright yellow in color; color of plumage
light, slaty blue ground shade, each
feather barred or penciled across with
bands of dark, slaty blue, free from
white, black or red feathers; carriage
and appearance very upright, noble and
grand. The hen-comb the same as
cock, but much smaller; wattles small
and well-rounded beak bright yellow,
short and stout; eye large, bright and
clear; head small and very neat deaf
ear red; breast round and full; tail
full, well carried, expanded; legs short
and neat, bright yellow and free from
feathers; color Of plumage same as in
cock"
Wright, in his " illustrated Book OF
Poultry" says of them: 1.-The Domi-
nique is an excellent layer, very hardy
and good for the table. 1t grows fast
and feathers quickly, while its plain
homespun suit makes it very suitable

snowy or valuable looking fowls
would be imprudent as out of place
1t is to be regretted that in its native
home it has been Of late comparatively
neglected, owing to the preference fol-
imported stock of all kinds. However
this may be, we have no hesitation in
recommending the Dominique as one of
the most generally useful all round
fowls we know
1t is the farmers breed for profit, and
I feel confident that whoever gives
them a fair trial will not discard them
for Shanghais," Cochins " or " Brah.
mas" In conclusion, permit me to say
that the above must not be miscon.
strued into an advertisement, as have
mary an egg nor the shadow of hen

TRAP FOR UT-WoRMs.-The Ameri-
can Agriculturist gives the following =
An old shovel handle is split for about
a foot with fine saw. The split portion
is soaked in boiling water to soften it,
and the ends are inserted into holes made
in hoop or ring of wood, two inches
wide, one inch thick and eight inches in
diameter In the bottom of the ring
there are inserted number of pieces OF
an old broom-handle, projecting two
inches and not more than a quarter of
aninch apart When this is pressed into
the earth, around a hill of corn or a
cabbage plant, it leaves a circle OF
smooth round holes, two inches deep,
with compact sides and bottoms The
cutworms fall into these holes in their
nightly rambles, and may be found and
destroyed in the morning.

RAISING SWEET PoTAToEs.-A good
hot bed should be made, the sweet
potatoes then placed in it and covered
with light soil, and the bed watched
that it get not too hot or too cold
When the sprouts are large enough
they are to be set out in the ground
where they are to grow. Any good
gardener knows how to make hot
bed, in order to be warm enough tc
geiminate plants or sprout the potatoes
The sprouts are to be planted in rows
or drills far enough apart to work
among them with cultivator, and one to
two feet apart in the rows they need
warm, sandy, loose land. Sweet pota
toes can be propagated only from the
tubers, as they bear no flower seeds
but, sometimes, with great care they
have been raised from slips cut from
the vines.

to enlarge their production of it, SO
handy will it he found in midsummer,
especially if drouthy season shortens
the pasture Sow in drills about three
feet apart, and run the cultivator two
or three times through the rows. The

sirable. For this purpose it should be

e Hen manure is probably the most
valuable of any kind produced on the

ton. Either keep by itself under shed

with coal ashes or dry earth. For use
in the garden it is highly effective.

Satisfactory Experiments With FERTILE ers

Prof. Stockbridge, of the Massachus-
etts Agricultural College, at a recent
meeting reported an experiment made
by him. He said that in 1869, speci-
mems of soil were taken from various
places, carefully avoiding all rich lands,
and this soil was placed in the plant
house, and different kinds of seeds were
planted. The plants were fed with
nitrogen, phosphoric acid, potash, and
all the elements necessary to the food
of plants These experiments were con-
tinued for four years, in order to deter
mine what stimulated growth and what
did not stimulate growth. The answer
of Nature seemed to be, If you want
to grow such plants, on such soils, take
nitrogen, potash, and phosphoric acid
you need not trouble yourself to put in
any carbon, oxygen or hydrogen, soda,
chlorine, or sulphuric acid, nor any
magnesia, except for the tobacco crop y
Having obtained this result, the expert
ments were tried on larger scale, in
the open field, in 1873 and "A. The
question he proposed to ask Nature
was: IF l give you the material to
make twenty-five bushels of corn, will
you return me the twenty-five bushels,
over and above what the soil would
produce without this material?" A
mistake was made in the first instance,
because he reasoned that certain por-
ton of the fertilizing material would
no Mood NV 40 70 ha
charged to the land he therefore put
in more than the amount required, and
got a larger crop than he expected
Two plots of land were planted with
corn, one with and the other without
manure, and the crops treated exactly
alike in every respect The plot with
out manure yielded 80 bushels to the
acre, instead of Is, as he had calculat-
ed, and, therefore, the plot with manure
must yield 60 bushels, to come up to
his requirement. 1t actually yielded
644 bushels The excess he attributed
to the fact that he had, as already stat
ed, applied larger quantity of the fer
tilizing material than was required to
produce twenty-five bushels The same
experiment was tried in other places, at
his suggestion, by practical farmers, on
whose fathfulness he could rely, and
always with the same result-the ma
terial applied to the land produced the
increased crop he expected.
In one of his experiments he used
potash which was certified by one of
the Boston chemists to contain 80 per
cent Of actual potash, but which Pro
fessor Gocssman found to contain only
eight per cent, so that instead of paying
eight cents a pound for potash, they
had paid thirty-two cents. This dis
crepancy created quite an excitement at
the College, and the Boston chemist
was interviewed in regard to it, and
had been exceedingly civil ever since.
As soon as the fact was discovered, the
proper amount of potash was given to
the crop on the College farm by hoeing
it in, and the result was satisfactory !;
but at other places where the expert
