A Successful Corn Raiser.

Recently a farmer in Middlesex County,
Mass, sold 1000 bushels Of Massachusetts
un for future delivery from his own
rops, which latter will yield him fully
~eventy-fve bushels sheled corn and three
IONS fodder to the acre Based on the
census returns ior 1879, this farmer will
RAISE this year one-tifth of the yield of the
whole town, and yet there are l30 farmers
possessed of farms that average more
acres than his. This is one straw show
Hg that Massachusetts can raise all the
corn she consumes, wheD her producers
are prepared to make the attempt.
Another is that it is more difficult this
.,ear to find stalks Of corn with but Il
single ear than it is to find those that
have three ears, We hope our farmers

Prepared Eggs.

The American Egg Company of Keo-
kuk, Iowa, are now preparing 1900
dozens of eggs daily by the following
process: The eggs, after careful hand
ms. are broken and cleared of their
shells by machinery and delivered in the
form OF batter, the whites and velks
thoroughly combined. This batter is
then discharged, by a peculiar arrange
ment, upon rapidly revolving metallic
cylinders, under a strong blast of heated
alr. These cylinders are automatically
self-cooling, remaining at temperature
OF seventy degrees Fahrenheit, and so
MAINTAINING at that point all the egg
dried upon them, in spite of the greater
heat OF the blast. The dried egg is scraped
from the cylinders in a granulated form.
very much resembling coarse corn meal,
ana Is subjected to a subsequent curing
process which lasts about thirty DAYS.
The dcslccated egg readily desOlyes and
returns to its former condition of "batter'
when the requisite proportion of water is
added, and thus, if beaten the same as
shell eggs, it gives the same results in
cooking. As five hundred dozen of de
slccated eggs are packed in a single bar
rel, the saving in transportation is enor-
nous, and the other savings, from loss
by breakage, decay. etc, can be more
easily imagined than estimated. This is
the third year of successful manufacture
and sale, and the product is already we'll
known in the eastern markets, and meets
with a sale so ready that the supply has

The Leaves Sweet Secret.

Have you ever caught the secret
Which the leaves forever sing.
Through each balmv day Of summer
When the birds are on the wing
Have you listened to their language,
And their laughter soft and sweet
Have you watched their shining glances
Through the noontides glowing heat
Oh! they make such merry music,
Gaily dancing in the breeze.
Every tiny leaf tremble
On the solemn old oak trees.
mat you know some happy secret
Must have stirred some winsome ELF
To those bursts of fairy laughter
And You fairly laugh yourself
Up and down they dance and CULVER.
Back and forth they sing in 4lee,
While the whistling winds still louder
Pipe their merry minstrelsy.
All along the woodland borders,
Past the reapers and their sheaves,
Still the ripping music greets you,
Of the laughter of the leaves.
All. t is sure some lovers secret
Which they whisper day by day;
Never ceasing, never firing
Of the old and happy lay.
Merry songs and merry singers,
Merry hearts when love is king,
Every summer brings new lovers,
Every year fresh leaves to sing.

Fencing.

According to United States statistics,
worm or Virginia fence costs ninety five
cents, post-and- rail one dollar and thirty
five cents, board fence one dollar and
tWenty-sjX cents, and stone wall two dol
lars and thirty -four cents per rod in this
State. This estimate is based upon boards
at sixteen dollars per thousand and rails
at tllty-slN dollars. From the same source
it would seem that of our fences sixty
seven per cent. are of the kind known us
worm or snake fence. seventeen per cent.
Of poSt-and- twelve per cent. Of board
and only tourper cent. OF permanent stone
wall. The returns embrace 1876 81 .o2I
rods OF fence, inCloSing 1864 ,Gll acres,
at a cost of SIS, s3i 49i, or at the rate of
nine hundred and tifty-tivc rods to each
one hundred acres. The annual expense
OF repairs and interest upon the invest
melt is Sl!lS, 500, lo2. The interest bear
ing ndtlOnal debt the cost of Our fences
and the Nalue of the live stock of the ma
ton, 1ll figure up to about the same
amount. Each dollars worth of live stock
requires one dollars worth of fence to
keep it in order That twenty-five per
cent Of this fencing is needless and may
be dispensed with, is undOubtcd. How
much OF the remainder would be rendered
needless by a properly connected system
OF pasturing and soling, it is hard to say.

Farming In Massachusetts

From an extended area of observation
and inquiry we incline to the opinion that
in Massachusetts the area under cultiVa-
ton in grain and roots is fully forty per
cent greater than that of any year since
1867. and the old familiar sound Of the
fail, with the more pretentiOus clatter Of
the thrashing- machine, are now heard
quite often in the Old Bay State. Rye is
turning out finely and bids fair to yield
fifteen bushels to the acre, instead Of the
low average Of eleven to twelve that has
prevailed the past few years.
Mr.. Geo. Lewis of Sterling has forty
per cent. Of all the land he cultivates
under wheat culture this season, this be-
ing his first year, though having expert
mented with wheat in California he was
induced to try it here on his return. The
heads OF his wheat measure six to seven
inches, with straw strong and healthy,
and he.Wlll raise seed enough to enable
the farmers of Sterling to raise all the
wheat she consumes for one year. Ster-
ling has increased her cultivation of
wheat nearly four fold this year, and will
raise at least one twelfth of her consump-
ton, while the State of Massachusetts
averages but l76O Of what her popula-
ton consumes. American Cultvator

Putting Down Butter.

The American Agriculturalist informs
its readers that ''Whle the butter made in
September has not usually the rich flavor
OF that made in June, next months prod
uct is mainly that which is put down by
farmers and dairymen for winters supply.
Much OF the success in keeping butter de-
pends upon the quality of the salt used
i'll packing. If the Domestic Society
(there IS much more of the name) of the
little State of Rhode Island was not the
first to discover, it WAS. we think, the first
to publish the fact, that the poor keeping
OF butter was due to impurities in the
salt. They had analysis made of the
various brands of salt, and it was found
that those kinds that We're found best in
practice, were shown by analysis to be
the least contaminated by salts of mag
nesa. Among the various brands of salts
III the market, none bear a higher repu-
tation for purity than that known as
'Ashton's Factory Filled and 50 firmly is
this reputation established that in some
important butter making localities no
other brand can be disposed Of The
quality OF the salt is of so much imp0r-
tance that butter makers, if none is sold
near at hand, had better order it from
New York, than to risk the use of brand
the purity Of which has not been tested"

SMALL THINGS. Every farmer should
have small room, tight and warm, which
he can lock and where he can keep his
small tools. Then he wants good, solid
workbench, with an iron wise on one side
and wooden one on the other. For iron
working he wants solid piece of iron for
an anvil, seven pound steel-face ham
mer, one large and one small cold chisel,
two or three punches from one-fourth to
threecights inch, rimmer and counter
sink, to be used with bt-stock, a screw
plate that will cut screw from one
fourth to three-eights inch; then, with
round iron of the various sizes, and
ready made nuts, he can make any
bolt he wishes. For carpenter work, he
wants a square, shaving horse, drawing
knife, set Of planes, auger from one
half to two inches, a fine hand saw, with
coarse cross cut and rip saw, large cross
cut saw for logs, and a grindstone.

TIE POTATO CROP in New HAMP-
SHIRE. The Manchester, n. H., Mirror
and Farmer, of last week, says:-
We are told by farmers living in several
different counties, that during the past
week the potato bugs have almost entire
ly disappeared from their vines and bur
rowed in the ground. We hope this is
generally true, and that for this season at
least, we have seen the last of this most
troublesome pest. He has appeared in
nearly every town in the State but has
not as a rule been very destructive. For
some reason the bugs have not here
grown to more than half the size which
they attained in their palmy days in the
West, and though it has taken Il great
deal of work to do it. they have been dis
posed OF before they have become very
destructive The rust is damaging some
potatoes just now, but we are sure Of one
of the largest crops ever raised in the
State. Even now the best Of Early Rose
can be bought in the up-country towns
for fifty cents q bushel.
