PLASTER OR. GYPsUM.-There seems
t6 be some difference Of opinion among
farmers as to the benefits Of plaster on
growing crops; as well as to the reason
and manner Of benefit. =
Without attempting to state specid-
cally how this article increases the
growth Of plants. we can state, from
many years experience, on different
land and crops, that it does great good
Our experience was 10 this manner:
we have spriukled il on the hills in al
ternate rows, of both corn and potatoes,
when they we're well up, to the extent
Of a large handful to the hill, and in
single week there would be a marked
and perceptiblo increase Of the thrift
ness and size Of those rows which re-
ceived the plaster above those which
did not receive it; another application
in a fortnight made material increase
10 the yield Of grain and Of fodder. and
Of potatoes.
Also. We sowed alternate strips Of the
wheat fields. in the fall and again in
The spring, with th, same favorable re-
suits from the use Of the plaster; then
Oh spring wheat We often made the
same experiment with the same bene6-
cial effects 50 plain that any observer
could see where the plaster was soWn
and where not.
The same experiments on clover and
timothy; and these experiments were
more certain and satisfactory than in
cases where the plaster was applied to
different fields
We have used it on sandy land, on
clay land, and on western prairie land
and in all oi them getting much more
benefit than the cost F; on rich land and
on poor land.
These are the hard, positive facts,
whatever may be the manner Of the
effect, or how. Maryland Farmer.

AN UNwELooME FOREIGNER When
the authorities of Philadelphia, few
years ago, introduced the English house
sparrow into the parks of the city, they
committed one Of the greatest follies
that it we're possible for men i commit,
for this bird is destined to be a fearful
curse to the American farmer. When
the proposition to bring it here was first
broached, Thomas Meehan sounded the
alarm and warned the public against
the proposed step, giving abundant rea-
sons why.it should not be introduced
into this country. This bird has been
an outlaw in England for years; the
farmers are compelled to make incessant
war upon it, offering price per head
for its destruction and we are told that
at certain seasons they have to employ
boys to watch their grain fields and
scare the sparrow away. 1t is specially
Injurious to wheat and rye. for with its
bill ii squeczes the soft grains entirely
out Of the heads, leaving for the farmer
nothing but the dry chat; and ii is also
very destructive to the blossoms of rasp-
berries, currants and other small fruit.
Such being the state Of affairs in Eng
land, we can but view with exceeding
alarm the spread Of the pest in this
country. Already it is found in com
munities quite remote from Pbiladel-
phia, and it is multiplying with great
rapidity.
There is an idea afoat in the minds
Of the American people that this coun.
try. while it is the "land. of the free. .
It is also The home Of the oppressed oi
all nations !" but this notion ought moi
to lead US to adopt this feathered out
law Of England and provide him home
and welcome among US We are un
consciously harboring a robber that il
sure to entail upon US great loss, an(
the sooner the farmer sets his boys tt
work with arrow and shotgun, the bet
ter it will be for us-Home Journal

HAVE They CoME TO STAY ?-Ths
impression seems to exist in many quar-
ters that the potato beetle viii be only
a temporary nuisance to the farmer,
and that, as it is impolled onward in its
eastward course, it soon abandons the
territory once conquered. We noted
ths other day that one Of our well-in-
formed contemporaries had given ex-
preston to this idea; and to get some
facts on the subject we addressed note
to our old friend, s. S. Grubb, Of Wis
oonsin, who responds to our inquiry
thus:-
"The advance guard Of the Colorado
Beetles entered Wisconsin about twelve
years ago. This week ! found three
inside Of tn ring, II inches in diane
ter, the same having been placed around
the base Of small tomato plant to pro-
tect it from cut-worms- In certain
localities two applications of paris green
are necessary to protect potato patch,
and almost daily hard picking to pre-
vent the destruction of egg plants.
This being the condition of affairs in
Wisconsin, after the lapse Of twelve
years, it is but reasonable for me to
conclude that the writer Of the article
you forwarded will turn out to be
false prophet, unless the section Of
country in which be resides is blessed
with myriads Of destructive parasites,
or miraculousIy unfavorable soil and
climate for the beetle"
In addition to the above testimony
from Wisconsin, we have similar infor-
nation from Mr.. George Jackson, Of
Beech Grove Stock Farm, near Indian
apOlis, Ind. Mr.. jackson writes US
that the beetles are as numerous there
as they have been for several years past.
It is an everyday sight in passing along
the road to see potato growers, with all
the force at command, men. women,
and children, in the potato patch, pick
ing Of the old bugs. As soon as the
Matching Of the eggs begins. the fight
is continued with paris green and air
slakcd lime, which Of course proves an
effectual remedy Home Journal

This dryer was invented for the purpose Of
saving part of my own crop of peaches in
1875. Thousands of baskets Of fruit had
rotted in my orchard. The Smocks and Late
White peaches were ready to dry when . be-
gan, yet the peaches dried after that with
common stove without CRATE bars, sold for
two hundred dollars. | improved the dryer
greatly in 1875 and this year, and claim that
Il will dry fruits and vegetables so that they
will be nearly as light and rich in color when
they are dry as when put fresh in the evapor-
ator. That which darkens more fruit than
all else, is the yapor that is thrown off in
driving, and remains in the dryer until it
passes through all the fruit in the way to the
outlet.
Ny invention by the use of tubes takes the
greater part Of that moisture out of the main
chamber without its passing through the
fruit, and also supplies DRY HEAT to every FIVE
trays continually, thus retaining the natural
color Of the fruit by qnick drying. When
the fruit is nearly dry it is slid into mIlder
heat ii the finishing chamber.
The following certificates show what is
thought by those who have seen the fruit for
two years:
