twelve quarts of timothy and four

produced a rapid growth, standing
fully three feet high, and the one

It is with great difficulty the
farmer gets his sweet potato, cab
bage. tomato and tobacco plants to
live if transplanted when the
ground is dry. We here make 4
suggestion that wall be worth more
TO him who follows it than the sub
scription price Of the "Agricu!tu-
rist." If YOU wish to transplant
either Of the above named crops,
take rain water and good rich muck
from the bottom, and mix until 1t
i some thinner than mush CT about
the consistency Of starch, and DIP
the roots of the plants III tins mud.
This process will cover the broken
parts Ct the roots, and at the same
time keep the roots moist, untlI
they will begin drawing nutrlmont
from the soil. Another eXcelIem
way to make plants live: Get F.;
bowl. place in it fresh dropplng>
from COWS, pour water on tins ahc
stir well, and then mix your sol
with this manure water, and dll
the roots of plants IN tins mixture.
This is the way to make a season
when the rains fail.

Cost Of Producing a Pound Of
Beef.

DOC4
In the January number Of The
Journal. we gave a statement Of the
grazing and feeding of sixteen head
Of cattle THREE - four years old
grades, Of fair quallty-and fifteen
head of two wear oldS, Of better
breeding and quality, purchased III
the la ter part Of June last.
The first lot weighed, July "a.
l46l lbs, average. On the goth OF
August they averaged l52. lbs.,
when we began feeding them green
corn with the fodder, beginning
light, and increasing to nearly
eight bushels per day, for the lot.
goth September, found their weight
to be 1906 lbs., or a gain Of - lbs.
in 80 days.
The Younger cattle were lot
weighed until the goth Of August,
but their gain in the gross, vas
over 100 lbs. each. August goth.
their weight was llG6 lbs. They
did not eat so much corn aS the
larger ones BY % per cent. per
head. September Goth they weighed
l2.l lbs.-a gam of l05 lbs. per
head.
Several CORE spondents have
written us to give the subsequent
growth of these steers. The larger
| steers were again weighed before
shipping to market, December oth,
when the average was found to be
1880 lbs.-a gain, since August 20,
of, say 253 lbs. per head; the corn
consumed being forty bushels per
bullock.
Began feeding the other lot Au-
gust 22d, very light at first. When
weighed for market, December
9th, their average was found to be
1892 lbs.-a gain of 1926 lbs. since
the feeding began /; the corn con-
sumed being % bushels per head /;
corn-worth on the shock 81 cents
say s11; while the value of the
326 lbs. of gain, at sc per TO-, was
5000 per head, besides the addi-
tional value that this feeding would
have impaired to the whole carcass
if the price had kept up. 1t Will
be seen that the large steers, while
consuming more, gained much less.
This was in part owing to the fact
hat the small steers were better
bred, being mostly by thorough
bred bulls.
The above showing, though we
think the gains very satisfactory
unusually so-does rot indicate
very large profits. But we have to
mention that the 81 head of small
pigs we had following these cattle
made an aggregate gam OF 5000
lbs, worth, at 39c, say s2ll; so
mat the operation, even when we
allow for the value Of the grass
consumed (for the stock was on
good grass all the period), was not
SO bad. But if at selling time the
price of fat stock had been as much
above that of lean the previous
spring as we usually expect it to
be, the operation would have been
most satisfactory. AS it turned
out, the superior quality Of the
stock, and the method of early
feeding on grass, gave us a moder-
ate compensation for our grass and
corn.
The lesson of the experiment is:
Get the best stock, get it while
young, and then you cannot lose
especially if you breed the stock
yourself. Feed well, feed early,
and keep on feeding until the stock
is sent to market.-NotionM Lire

A New Era in Harvesting.

The present mode, even with
droppcr and self rakes. involves the
expense, Inconvenience and waste
of many binders. Several families
must combine, as Il rule, to save
the grain. Then, too, the good
housewife looks forward with solic-
tude to the time when she must
tax her utmost strength to feed the
c%arniverous crew. Even in March,
the first steps of preparation are
taken. The most motherly of hens
is selected to hatch for harvest.
Early rose potatoes, and other gar
dening, is carefully planted and
cultivated toward the same end.
The best ale laid away for the
great event.
But all this must pass away
Henceforth harvesting Will involve
no more labor for the farmer and
his wife than orn blowing and
apple gathering. The Self Binder
and Harvester has come to their
rescue.
On last Monday an hours drive
took us to the farm of James Mus
tard, near Broad Ripple, this coun-
ty to witness the working the Nc
Cormick Binder 4 Harvester.
Farmers, for miles around, had
come to see its work, and here is
their testimony:
I'VE have witnessed the work Of
the Mccormick Self binder and
Harvester, on James Mustard's
farm, and we never saw as clean
work done IN any field as was done
there. We cannot save the grain
as well with any other reaper we
have ever seen. Dudly Roberts, VIM.
Shope, Henry Rigby, A. Watts,
Elijah Huff, Hugh Mccormack,
John Scoll, Henry NJ. Hessong,
John Huffman, l.. G.. Akin, Sam
uel Pursel, James Battey, Charles
Dawson, Ambrose Dawson"
Mr.. Mustard said: q would
not have it taken off the farm, if
| could not get another like 1t, for
a thousand dollars"
Our judgement of the machine
and its work is, that, with the per-
fecting of Il few minor details, the
farmer can wish for nothing better.
The driver from his seat has perfect
control of all It's parts, the height
of cut, the size of gavel, the ten
sion of the bind, the distance of
the bind of the bind from the butt,
etc. 1t is a pig starver. 1t not
only saves the expenses of binders,
but it saves at least their wages in
grain.
1t would seem that any farmer,
with IA few hours practice, can OPP
crate it perfectly; and, with boys to
put it IN shock, can do his own
harvesting and that of his near
neighbors. Mr.. NJ. has 80 acres of
his W to cut, and says that next
year he wants to double the amount.

SALTPETRE AS \ BUG-DESTROY-
ER.-To destroy bugs on squash or
cucumber-vines, dissolve a table
spoonful of salpeter in IA pailful of
water; put one pint Of this around
each hill, shaping the earth so that
it will not spread much, and the
thing is done. Use more saltpeter
if you can atf"rd 1t; it is good for
vegetables, but death to animal life
The bugs burrOw in the earth ut
night and fail to rise in the morn
ing. 1t is also good to kill the
grub" IN peach trees-only use
twice as much, say Il quart OF two
to each tree. There was not "a vel
low or blistered leaf on twelve or
fifteen trees to which it was applied
last season. No danger of killing
any vegetables with it; a conccn-
trated solution applied to beans
makes them grow wonderfully.

Some men never do anything at
all on their farms, because they

Vulnerable chances for choosing.
They have SO many good things to

things to do, and no one to begin

their feet and they have made
nothing but a-failure.-S,uheyn

In connection with the announcement that
twenty five out OF twenty-seven exhibitors of
American paper at the Paris exposition have
received awards, including four out of five Of
the gold medals allotted to paper manufacture
and the grand prize for fine writing paper, the
suggestive fact Is pointed out that while in
1873 the United States imported s72s, 800 worth
OF paper and exported only s3,T worth in
1859, in 1876 the imports amounted to only
1850 while the exports were sSlO.S64 This
revolution in the paper trade is due to the
superiority of our machinery, the comparative
dryness of our climate, and to the fact that our
paper is very fibrous and free from clay OF
other adulteratiOn.
