Summer Fallowiux for When,


The HUI sandman makes the follow ing
timely remarks upon the advantage of Sum-
mer following for wheat: "The long drouth
by which the profits of the season have been
seriously narrowed, was partially relieved BY
few hours of rain the day before, SO the
farmers could resume their labors in prepare.
tion for wheat. Dat and barley stubbles,
even when plowed, were dry to dustiness.
There was no encouragement to SOW seed
until rain should moisten the soil. The well
come shower had melted great activity among
farmers whose preparation for wheat had
been long delayed. Only those who had
Summer-fallowed their fields has their seed
ing begun. A few of these who had chung to
the old method reported their work well ad-
vanced. Two members had finished large
fields, the seed having been applied before
the rain, with prospects of immediate growth.
Elated by their timely success, they were
ready 10 urge new arguments in favor OF
Summer-fallow as the only safe preparation
for wheat. Plainly the method is growing
into increased favor among the members of
the club, especially those whose lands are not
excessively taxed, making quick returns in
all seasons necessary to clean balance sheets.
AS there never was any plan, and perhans
never will be any without occasional draw
backs or seasons in which some variation
would not be advisable or imperative, so in
the different plans of sowing wheat. Wheat,
after oats, with all its disadvantages, has this
merit, that the ground can be plowed and
fitted by blowing as soon as the oats are harv-
ested and by leaving mellow surface, the I'M
der soil does not bake so hard as if thesurtace
was left compact. The month of interval
may be used to gain some of the benefits of
more heightened fallow. A summer-fallow
rarely gives so much increased crop as to paw
for the labor and the loss of one years use of
the land On the other baud, a clover-feld
the present season, notwths, andng the dry
weather, turns up moist and mellow under the
cover OF several inches of aftermath; and hay
ing been plowed with a fiat furrow, gives a
solid bottom under the finest filth of soil for
seed. We consider it a far better preparation
than even Summer-talloW.

Pruning Grapeyiues,

J. Whittlesey read paper on this subject,
before the Michigan Pathological Society, in
which he defended the long arm system OF
pruning, because it fully equalzed the flow of
sap in cane and fruit. He illustrated as fol
low +: In 1862 he planted 120 Concord vines
six feet apart in the row. They had good
care and attention, but bore little fruit. The
spring of the seventh year from planting, he
removed every other vine, and extended the
arms to six feet instead of three. The result
was a fine crop OF fruit. To further test the
matter, in Catawba vineyard of 1000 vines,
and eight feet apart in the rows, every other
vine was removed, and the arms of the others
extended to eight feet instead of four. This
largely increased the quantity of grapes. He
stated that he had concord vines covering "a.
80, 35, 40 and 48 feet of trellis, that carry
every year, more grapes, by actural test in
baskets, than any adjoining vines planted IL
feet apart, and covering the same number Of
feet of trellis. Vines with long arms require
less summer pruning than vines with short
arms, because their growth is more moder-
ate. Long arms can be laid down for winter
protection without difficulty, but short ones
cannot. He intended to 60 on experiment
ing until he could show vines covering one
hundred feet of trellis and fifty feet long.
Mr.. WIS testimony is corroborated by some
OF our own correspondents Rec0rder.

CATARRH.
A Remarkable Case of Catarrh Cured
by the use Of Twelve Bottles.

We select the following case as showing how fright
full this disease may become, and as convincing
proof of The value of SANFORD'S RADICAL CURE as
q reliable remedy for its cure, even in of the
greatest severity. We regret that, from motives of
6ecacy the gentleman declined to permit the use OF
his name:-
Case No. n This is the case of man in the
prime of life who had contracted this disease
through bad cold six years ago. Favored by
scrofulous condition of the bood the disease sent its
acid pos, into every part of the system. SO That
when be commenced the use Of SANFoRDs RADI-
CAL CURE it had become of the worst cases ever
experienced by any living man The discharge at
night was thick, puIrid and streaked with blood, and
excessive in quantity to discharge itself upon
the pillow during Sleep and collecting in quantities
in his thtoat. would, at the point of stranguaton,
wake him. Several times each night he was obliged
to get up and partially clear his nostrs and throat
before he could sleep From the use of the first
bottle of the RADICAL CURE to the present, the
cure has been gradual satisfactory, and permanent.
He has used in all twelve bottles, and now ex-
periences return Of the discharge any of its
disagreeable symptoms, besides enjoying unusually
good health otherwise.

Crops for Selling.

Give YOU an account of my management
of piece of land for soiling purposes. The
land was manured in the spring of 1875, at
the rate of ten cords of manure to the acre,
from which two crops of garden vegetables
were taken during the summer. In October,
/ sowed rye at the rate of two bushels to the
acre for soiling. In the spring, / cut two
heavy crops of rye previous to June 25th. I
then replowed and sowed to Hungarian grass
at the rate of one and half bushels to the
acre cutting heavy crop from this Aug.
10TH l then plowed again, and sowed oats
at the rate of four bushels to the acre; apply
ing this time, in the way of manure, the
Stockbrdge formula for oats. l commenced
feeding the oats on the 10th of October, and
continued to do so until November Goth, up
to which date they were entirely uninjured
from frost. Fearing they might become
lodged from snow or heavy rains, l cut the
remainder and threw them into small heaps;
from these heaps | have fed daily until into
the present month, having used the last few
days since.
| think from my experience with oats, that
they will prove great acquisition to our list
of fall crops for soiling. If had the land va
cant and in proper condition, think per-
haps Aug LIST would be the best time to SOW
the oats. At the same time would lot omit
rolling the ground after sowing, as the grain
will be much more sure to terminate qdickly
during the dry time we generally have through
the month of August. 1t must also be kept in
mind that, to produce these crops in single
season, the land must be put into the best
condition by good manuring and thorough
pulverization of the soil. When these condi-
tions are met is surprising how small an area
of land it takes to pasture herd OF cattle
when fed all they will eat twice a day from
these crops. At the same time we are made
almost independents of the condition of the
weather, as these crops highly MANFRED are
sure to push ahead, be the weather wet or
dry. Last summer during the very hot term,
there was an increase of nearly three quarts
of milk per day each from two COWS which 1
took from the pasture and kept stabbed at the
time.
One of the requirements of the coming far
will be highly manuring small areas, and keep
lug the ground constantly occupied. Aud by
the soiling of cattle and the use of the high
and reliable of commercial fertilizers that are
now coming into the market, this system of
high farming can be much more easily accom-
plshed than formerly. Country Gentleman.

Eggs in Winter,

We never had any difficulty in getting sup
ply of eggs during the winter from chickens
that were hatched very early in the spring We
gave them tolerably warm building. fairly
lighted by means of glass windows. We fur
nished them with all the corn and grain they
wanted, giving preference to wheat screenings.
Every day they had feed of fresh meat in
some form. When there was not refuse meat
about the house we bought scraps or liver from
butcher. The cost was very small compared
with the worth of the eggs obtained. When
the weather was tolerably warm, they had raw
cabbages every day, and when it was very cold,
twice week they had warm hash made of
meat, potatoes and cabbage, highly seasoned
with pepper In making egg-shells we provid-
ed burned bones powdered toerabiy fine. Far
mers can have eggs the present winter from
imperfectly sketched above.-Chicago Times.

Gentlemen,-I have suffered ten years from the
worst forms of ACUTE CATARRH, OR COLD IN THE
HEAD, that ever afflicted mortal man. Whenever L
took fresh cold it would settle in my head, causing
the most violent sneezing accompanied by excessive
discharges from my eyes and nose. For days and
days my suffering wonld be intense, and finally
miserable for month. Never, during all my suffer
ings was able to obtain even temporary relief from
any medicine ever tried. Three weeks ago. while
suffering from the Horst attack l ever had, 1 pro-
cured bottle of SANFoRD's RADICAL CURE FOR
CATARRH The relief from the first dose was so
gratifying that | would willingly have given one
hundred dollars to obtain it A few doses complete
ly cured me- My head has since been perfectly free
from mucous accumulations, my breathing easy, and
not a symptom of trouble about my back and Bowels
has presented ITSELF Its effect in my case has been
truly remarkable
