WindmiIIs for Farmers

L see by an article on Windmilis in late
issue of your paper, that the writer speaks
of their being started or thrown into gear to
pump water for the stock in the morning,
and says they are liable to be blown down by
a high wind. Now, have not any special
interest at stake, and so may be allowed to
say that Yankee ingenuity is equal to any
emergency, and has remedy for these two
difficulties. There is windmill now made
that is perfectly selfregulating, and does not
break with the highest winds, but turns the
edges of its vanes to the blast, and does not
run faster than with a, moderate breeze. I
have seen one OF these mills attached to
another governor so that it would keep a
tank always full, and stop when no more
water is needed, thus producing no over
flow to make mudhole and there was not so
much danger of draining the well to no pur-
pose. Drawing one quart of water from the
tank would start the mill. This wheel stood
the storms of the fall of 1877, on the top of a
building, and this mill, on the centennial
grounds, was unhurt when others were de-
molished. Another kind that had been
erected to pump water for the borough of
Oxford, Pa, was demolished by the same
storm.
There Is large section ofcountry on the
eastern shore of Maryland and Delaware
where there is no supply of running water
for cattle, and principally for this reason few
are kept. There is plenty of good well water
everywhere. Some large and small rain
water pools, with the large streams, furnish
water for cattle without the labor of pumping
but all of these do not take the place of the
perennial springs of pure cold water of north
ern Cecil county, Md, part of Newcastle
county DEL. and the adjoining counties OF
Pennsylvania. Here it is common thing to
have running water in every field, and cattle
need never be shinted for supply. Any
thing that will supply this deficiency in the
regions where springs are scarce will increase
the number of cattle kept; this will increase
home made fertilizers, and tend to improve
fertility of soil, as well as by adding another
source of profit from beef or butter, and thus
benefit the whole community. To this end
perfect self-regulating windmill seems to be
the thing wanted, A much smaller and
cheaper one will do the work, if it stops or
starts automatically. With reservoir hold
ing supply for several days, cattle need
never suffer. There are always days when
the wind does not blow, and then supply
ahead is essential.
These self-regulators may require little
more care and oil, but there is no sort Of
pump that can be kept in order without a
little care and mechanical ingenuity Cor
respOndence Of the Country Gentleman.

Mr.. E. s. Peasely of Alma has field oil
rye that is hard to beat. Some of it will
measure nearly seven feet in height, with
heads unusually long; in fact it is the best
that we have seen for long time; he in
formed us that the seed was from Canada.
The grain crops In Lincoln county are all
looking the best that they have for several
years; the heads are filled out with full
kernels. One of the farmers rode over cir
cult Of seventy-five miles one day last week,
and he told us that in his journey he did not
see one piece of grain that he called poor, on
the other hand it all looked ine.-Kennebec
Journal.
An Iowa correspondent writes the Bangor
Whig that by careful estimate Is per cent.
of the wheat crop in that state will be dam
aged, but all other crops are fine. The corn
crop is immense. and it will probably be from
10 to 16 cents bushel He is informed by
farmers that they have never seen such
heavy oats. They use the self-binding reap
ers, and they work admirably, each reaping
seven or eight acres per day.

Somerset county have finished haying with
only about half the usual crop. 1t has been

wells have failed, and the people are having

The value of fresh beef and mutton and
live stock exported from the United States
thus far this year amounts to $685., 676,
against $1,755. 191 for the same period last

Potato patches in Lancaster, Pa, and vi
clnity are full of dead English sparrows. In
single patch some thirty dead birds were
found recently. The superstition is that the
birds eat the Colorado beetle and are poisoned
by the Paris green used to kill the bug.
The Kennebec Journal says that the hay
crop In the western portion of Kennebet
county Is as good as the average both in
quality and quantity. The fields have beer
kept in good condition by liberal manuripg
and good crops have been secured.
A correspondent of the Dirigo Rural say
that the hay crop In Aroostook county is
fair one, and with the large amount of hay
summered over there is no scarcity appre

1t is always best to prepare TO butcher an
animal by fasting it at least a few hours be-
fore it is slaughtered, since partially digested
food, and the food recently absorbed into the
system, quickly pass into state of putrefac-
tive decomposition and faint the whole car
cass.
The country seldom witnesses such album
dant crops of oats, rye, wheat, barley, and
grass as are being harvested now, and the
quality is as excellent, generally, as it is
abundant in quantity. Corn has been in
jured over large areas by wet weather, worms,
late planting, frost, ETC., but with favorable
fall there will be an immense crop harvested
yet.
Growing crops are now taxed in California,
but the Granger element is everywhere
aroused in opposition. In some counties,
says the San Francisco Bulletin, crops have
been assessed as high as SIS or 81 to the acre.
In others the assessment has been placed at a
mere nominal figure, while in some few the
order of the State Board has been disre-
garded.
Col. G. P. Mattocks of Portland, ever on
the alert for securing fresh stock for his
breeding farm at East Baldwin, has just adj
ded to his herd of Berkshires, eight fine pigs
from the famous Canadian breeder, Hon. M
81. Kochra-e of Hillhurst, Compton.
Gen. W. S. Tilton of Togus, one of the
foremost breeders In New England, and g
former trustee of the State Agricultural So
ciety, is to be a large exhibitor at the coming
| fair in Portland. He has already secured ter
| or dozen box stalls, besides numerous cat
| tie pens, and recently said to US he was in
| tending "to carry to the fair all his stock o
| all classes worthy of competing" at such 9
great fair. This means good deal, as is vel
known Gen. Tilton can get up first class
cattle show of his own any day in the year.

The crops in the vicinity of Sherman
Mills are suffering very much from. the
drouth. The hay crop Is considered not
more than three-fourths the usual amount,
but 1t is nearly harvested and got in in excel
lent condition. A few farmers have discov-
cred the Colorado beetle on their potatoes
and they are all destroyed as soon as discov-
cred. The drouth has so effected early pota-
toes that very small yield is looked for.
