County Fairs the Farmers School.

A farmer who observes the live stock,
implements, machines and other interes-
ting objects at agricultural fairs, and makes
study of them, viii gain much valuable
information. Those who attend the fairs,
with their goods and live stock, are pleased
to have them seen and examined. It is
their business to show what they have on
exhibition, and we never yet knew one of
them to give an impatient or hurlish reply
to any civil inquiry made of them; but on
the contrary, have always found them
eager to impart information. Now this
information is precisely what every farmer
wants. He needs to be instructed about
the differences in character and value of
live stock, the uses and workings of i'm
plements and machinery, the value of i'm
proved grains and other products, the kinds
Of artificial fertilizers offered by the man
ufacturers and scores of other matters, not
only of great interest, but of value in his
daily business Then, farmers need to
meet together and talk to one another
about these things, and compare views.
1t is hardly possible for any two farmers
to discuss matters relating to their bust
ness without mutual benefit The county
fair is the place Of all others for farmers
to meet with one another, and also to meet
those who provide them with implements
and various other supplies. A fair is a
great school for the farmer and his family

The Hsssian Fly.

This destructive insect made its appear
ance in the wheat fields last fall to a con-
siderable extent and did much damage;
but one fact connected with its appearance,
or rather temperance, should be care
fully borne in mind-that it is only the
early sown wheat that is attacked, and this
mostly when early sowing is followed by a
long spell of mild weather, like that of
last autumn, during which the grain be-
comes quite rampant Wheat sown tie
last of September or the beginning of Oc-
tober-which is early enough in most
years-is seldom if ever attacked by the
fly. There is a statement now before us
from farmer in Western New York, who
says that while he sowed his wheat as late
as the 18th and 10th of September, his
neighbors sowed in the latter end of Au-
gust, and that while his crop was wholly
free from the fly, and yielded over twenty
nine bushels to the acre, the crops of his
neighbors were nearly destroyed He fur
Their says that barrel of salt to the acre
will destroy the nudge and cause the
grain to ripen from three TO six days
earlier.

What the Birds Accomplish.

The swallow, swift, and nighthawk are
the guardians of the atmosphere; they
check the increase Of insects that would
otherwise overload it. Wocdpcckers,
troopers and chickadees, etc, are the guar
dians of the trunks of trees. WarbIers
and fycatchers protect the foliage Black
birds, thrushes, crows and larks protect
the surface of the soil; snipe and woodeock
the soil under the surface Each tribe
has its respective duties to perform in the
economy Of nature; and it is an undoubted
fact that, if the birds we're all swept from
the earth, man could not live upon it, veg
citation would wither and die, insects would
become so numerous that no living thing
could withstand the attacks. The whole
sale destruction occasioned by the grass
hoppers which have lately devastated the
West, IS undoubtedly caused By the thin
ming out of the birds, such as grouse,
prairie-hens, etc., which feed upon them.
The great and inestimable good done to
the farmer, gardener and florist by birds
is only becoming known by sad expert
ence. Spare the birds and save your fruit.
The little corn and fruit taken by them is
more than compensated by the vast guam
titles of noxious insects destroyed. The
long-persecuted crow has been found by
actual experiment to do far more good by
the vast quantity of grubs and insects he
devours than the little harm he does in a
few grains Of corn he pulls up. He is one
of the farmers best friends. -Fdrmer's

a MOdsl Farm.

Among the very many beautiful places
in Howard county there IS perhaps none
which has arrived at higher state of cul-
tiyation than the farm Of Hon. George
Cotton. This farm, which is known as
Chestnut Ridge, contains about 100 acres
of rich arabic land, is located about TWEEN
~ minutes ride from Jessup's cut, station
on the Washington branch Of the Balti-
more and Ohio railroad. Mr.. Cotton pur-
chased the farm about thirteen years ago,
aud by deyoting much time and attention
to it, has made it a model farm. Nothing
has been overlooked which would tend to
bcautify and improve the grounds. On a
commanding site, approached by beauti-
full graveled drive, bOrdered with splendid
shrubbery, evergreens and deciduous trees,
Is the family mansion, surrounded by a
spacious balcony. About one hundred
have been cleared and are now under
high state Of cultivation. The orchards
are Of the finest, aud for productiveness
aud variety, are unsurpassed. None but
the best varieties are planted, and there
one may see 1900 peach trees, l 900 pear
trees, and about ] 600 apple, cherry, plum,
apricot and nectarine trees, all of which
are laden with fruit, and all in healthy
condition.
But il is to the breeding Of chickens that
that Mr.. Cotton has devoted much of his
time. Every known variety Of rare breeds
Of chickens are to be found in his hennery
aud BY an arrangement peculiar to Mr.
Cotton, each breed is kept pure and intact.
fhere are about fifty houses containing
the various kinds and to each of these
houses are attached large enclosed range
for the chickens. The hennery is laid off
in streets, the middle street containing the
large breeds, such as light and dark Brah
mas, buff cartridges, black and white Co
chins, Jersey Blues, Plymouth Rocks,
Creve Ceurs, Houdans and black Spanish
and four varieties Of handsome Polish
chickens. Every variety of games is there
to be found, as also pure white and black
Sumatra, Hamburgs, Frizzles. Seabright,
Cochins, with about twelve varieties Of
bantams, and silkies from japan. During
the season about $4,000 or about 1000
dozen eggs are obtained, and about 800
chicks are raised. Each egg is marked
with lead pencil, so that it is next 10 an
impossibiIity for a mistake to occur in
setting the hens. In small fruits, which
are prolific on the farm, one may find
raspberries, grapes, currants, goOseberries
and strawberries, Of the monarch species,
some of which are as large as wal
nuts The outbuildings are arranged with
a view to the comfort and convenience of
his help of which he has the very best.
4 portion of the farm is devoted TO raising
fine breed of berkshire pigs and large
pond is stocked with choice assortment
of fsh.-SaRday Ne,cs.

House Slops.

These should all be saved. To save
them have a number of barrels, boxes,
hogsheads filled with dry muck, or other
absorbing substances, upon which the Stops
are to be emptied from day to day, until
the whole mass is thoroughly saturated.
1t Is then ready for use for any fertilizing
purposes. If it is not convenient to use
barrels, boxes, etc, some place, properly
sheltered, may be especially arranged with
flooring, upon which is placed a large
quantity of earth or muck, upon which
the Stops are thrown, and possesses the
advantage that it can be occasionally
worked over, and so rendered in excellent
condition for use. Every farmer having
tried this experiment will be surprised at
the amount of material of value that can
thus be accumulated Nor have We fully
calculated for the Stops made on wash-day,
which are rich in fertilizing material. 1t
Is attention osuch matters that increases
the fertility of the farm and enlarges the
crops.

In such cases, most Of the neighbors who
are asked to appraise the damages don't
want to be mixed up with the case, for
fear Of gaining the ill-will Of their neigh
bOrs, who in turn might appraise heavily
against them. Therefore, it is often an
impOssibility to get persons to appraise the
damages. Hence many people, in my
neighbOrhOod at least, keep two to three
cows and four or FIVE hogs, without own
ing single acre of land. These cattle,
numbering sometimes a hundred at
time, prey upon the farms, destroy fences,
tramp down and root up crops, and even
if you get judgment against the offending
owners they do not own anything.
IF you should have the audacity to pen
up predatory cattle (it is surely delight
full job to pen up strange hogs who browse
in your cOrnfeld) your barn is certain to
be in danger.
Now all this can be avoided BY a strict
and peremptory law, forbidding any stock
or cattle to be left to roam at large.
Such statutes exist to my knowledge in
two counties of New jersey, viz Cam
den and Vineland. There they have a
pound and an officer who impounds stray
cattle. The penalty for a stray COW is one
dollar, sheep or hog fifty cents, stray
horse one dollar, and so on. Even the
goats are remembered with twenty-five
cents. IF all fencing is done away with
farming can be made profitable, for it costs
generally as much as a farm is worth to
keep it well fenced for term of twenty
years.
Throughout my native land there is no
fence to be seen. The laws concerning
stray cattle are very strict, and the unbi-
assed mind viii see the advantage to the
whole community at Once.-American
Farmer.

The Difference Between Milk and Meat.

Suppose We take thrifty steer, thirty
months old. weighing 1000 pounds and
place him 10 an excellent pasture, and
fresh milch COW, also weighing 1000
and place her in the same pasture. They
are both kept there through the season;
the steer gaining live weight $50 pounds,
the COW yielding in milk 1000 pounds
The $50 pounds of live weight on the
steer is composed of at least sixty per
cent of water and forty per cent. of solid
matter, or l40 pounds of solid substance
gained by the steer; while milk is composed
Of eighty-seven per cent. water, and thir
teen per cent solid substance, making $40
pounds of solid substance, contained in the
milk produced by the COW from her food,
to 40 pounds produced by the steer.
A good COW will make 200 pounds of
butter in a season, and the skim-milk, fed
to thrifty pigs, viii grow 200 pounds of
dressed pork, or the same skim-milk, fed
to calf, viii put on at least 200 pounds
of live weight. A good steer, fed in the
ordinary way. viii dress 500 to 1000
pounds at four years, having grown, on
the average, 200 to $50 pounds of meat
each year, whereas the COW has made 200
pounds of butter, and the refuse of her
milk has produced nearly as much meat
in pork or growth of young beef in the
calf as the average growth of steer for a
year. Or by another mode of illustrating
it, if We compare milk with the average
composition of lean beef and fat beef, we
find the beef to contain forty-six per cent.
of dry substance, including the mineral
matter or ash, and milk to contain thir-
teen per cent. Thus three and one half
pounds Of milk are equal to one pound of
meat; and only estimate a cow to give
1000 pounds Of milk in year, this would
make the COWS produce in milk equal, in
food value, to 100 pounds of neat, and
this 1000 pounds of meat would require a
steer, under ordinary feeding, four years
to produce, so that the COW produces as
much return from her food 10 one year as
a steer in four-ALbaay, NJ T., Ci,ltirator.
