from the Maine Farmer ]

For the past ten years the Maine F1rmsr
ha, been urging upon its constituents the
growing OF wheat. II has constantly held
up as encouragement to this end the sue
cesses Of those prudent. courageous farm
er>. Of which there have been many all
over our State, who have per- is,ertly
grown wheat year out snd year in. gener-
ally with good success. It has published
the accounts in detail Of all large and sue
cessful crops Il has shown by accurate
figures the enormous sums paid out by our
people. aid by large portion of our farm
ers. for western Hour II has tried to in
duce among our farmers a feeling OF faith
in their business, and that the good prose
cution OF that business demanded first OF
all the growing of wheat. the keeping Of
stock. the consuming OF the hay upon the
farms, and the saving of every pound Of
fertilizer made.
The results of their efforts and encour-
agements. which have been showing them
selves gradually during the past three or
four years. are more marked this season
than ever before. Our wheat crop is
heavy. We have grown this year POO 900
bushels where We only grew 27s.OOO in
lsG9. Large yields per acre. and large
yields in towns and districts have been re.
ported from every quarter of the State.
In appreciation of the efforts which the
| farmers of our State have made in the
growing Of wheat in answer to our calls /:
and as still further inducement towards
the raising OF larger yields, the better
preparation of the land, and more intensive
culture for the wheat crop, the proprietors
of the Farmer hereby offer prize Of ONE
HUNDRED DOLLARS IN CASH, in three pre-
miums. TO be paid to the successful CON-
petitors in the fall of 1879, upon the follow
ing conditions:

NliHe Farmer. The money will be placed
in the hands of the Treasurer of the State
Agricultural Society, the Trustees of which
shall appoint a committee TO be by them
awarded on the second day of the meeting
of the State Fair, in the fall OF 1879 in pre-
miums of $40, $50 and 500. respectively to
those farmers in Maine who shall grow the
largest amount of wheat per acre. the sec.
oud largest. and the third largest.
,. On the part Of the competitors. Farm
ers who intend to compete for this premi.
um shall signify such intention to us on or
before June LIST. 1879, at which time the
list of competitors will be published in our
columns. The land on which the crop is
grown shall consist of one acre of 4siC
square yards which shall be measured by a
sworn surveyor. The yield of the crop

Dried Erries,

Apples should be dried as soon as
possible after they are cut, to have them
light colored: stoves and kilns should
be nsed in preference to putting them
out on scaffold to run their chances
of rain or sunshine; and as soon as
dried they should be boxed up tight, to
keep them from the insects which de-
post their eggs among them and pro-
duce the worm which spoils so many OF
them. In this way they may be kept
for years with perfect safety.
Some time ago, while purchasing a
lot of dried fruit, we discovered small
pieces of sassafras bark mixed among it
and upon inquiry, were informed that il
was preventive against the worms.
1t is said that dried fruit put away with
q little bark (say a handful to the BUSH
eD will save for years unmolested by
those troublesome little insects, which
SO often destroy hundreds of bushels in
a single season. The remedy is cheap
and simple and we venture to say a
good one.-Er.
