Be Liberal to your Farms.

Be liberal to your farms and they will
be liberal to you. A farm is very much
in one respect like looking-glass-it re-
fleets the character of the owner exactly.
If he is parsimonious his farm viii show
it. If he is a man of taste, his buildings,
fences, and the general arrangement of the
farm will tell the tale. No effort on his
part to disguise his real thoughts or senti-
ments win avail anything so long as the
operations of his farm belle his words.
The farmer who invests freely in his farm
is sure to be paid well for his risk and
trouble. Liberality in providing utensils
is the saving of both time and labor. The
more perfect farmers tools, the more
profitable are they. So, also, it is with
his working cattle aad his stock. The
most perfect in their kinds are the most
profitable. Liberality in good barns and
warm shelter is the source of health,
strength and comfort to animals, causes
them to thrive on less food and secures
from damage all sorts of crops Liberality
also in the provision of food for domestic
animals is the source of flesh, muscle and
manure. Liberality to the earth, in seed,
culture aud compost, is the source of its
beauty

New Plan Of Oultivatiug Wheat.

Several farmers of Berks county, Pa,
have just returned from a trip to I.ancas-
ter county, whittier they went to look into
the new plan of cultivating wheat The
wheat is sown in rows four inches in
width and eleven inches apart, giving suf-
fieient room to run the cultiyator through
in the spring of the year, very much like
hoe-harrowing corn. The cultiyator is a
simple arrangement which is attached to
the drill and worked by two horses who
walk between the rows of wheat. The
wheat is worked in this way just as soon
as the frost leaves the ground and after
wards about the twentieth of April again,
when the clover and timothy are sown.
The results Of this new plan Of cultivating
wheat were 81 bushels and Is pounds to
the acre last year, and the promise the
present harvest is in every respect as
bright. The straw is 6 TO feet / inch
high, and the heads of wheat from to AZ
inches in length. Mr.. Griesemer thinks
that without any exaggeration the yield
of wheat viii be forty-6ve bushels to the
acre. The clover and timothy are also
mentioned as very fine, being much better
than when sOwn under the present way.
The farm visited by Messrs. Griesemer
and DeTuck is owned and worked by Levi
W. Croft, near Bearville.

The Grape PhyIIOrera.


The phylloxera is what may be called
the grape louise, that is making sad havoc
with grape vines in Europe, and also to
some extent in this country. 1t may be
seen at the roots of the vines, and also in
the leaf gals, but not plainly visible to the
unaided vision. This year has been re-
markable for the extensive diseases Of
grapes in the West, principally the "black
ROT" as it is called. Some of the best
vineyards. of Ohio have been almost
total failure; and where the rot was the
worst, the roots of the vines we're found
to be badly affected by phylloxera, the
lice being found on the roots in pro-
portion to the extent of the rot in grapes.
The ravages of these lice on the roots may
be known By the warts, or excresences on,
or near the ends of the laterals, and show
ing decay Of the roots where affected. In
regard to the remedy, the only one known
at present, is to grow only such vines as
have great recuperative strength to form
new roots as fast as the lice cause decay
in the old cues. The Concord, and all
varieties of as free-growing as that is,
seem to escape the rot best; yet even the
Concord has not escaped this season in
some localities. An important aid in
warding off the effects of phyllOxera is to
Prunc rather closely, and to prevent over
bearing, so as not to draw too much on
the vitality of the roots.
