Do Not Now too Closc.

Fron ,hr World.
There was true economy in the adj
vice Of the farmer who recommended
that the lower joints of grass be left
in the field for the old brindlc cow ra-
thcr than cut and cured for her. lie
was one of the numerous army Of
mowers who had learned there is no
thing gained by cutting too close.
The testimony with respect to the
height from the ground at which it Is
best to cut grass il conflicting and
tends TO confuse and oftcntimcs mis-
leads n novice in the bayfield,. Gull
tivators vary in practice from one
half inch, or as close as possible, to
four inches. The general tendency
is, however, to cut close, and many
fine meadows have been seriously in
jurcd thcrefrom.
Close observation has taught that
timothy cannot he cut low, in dry
weather especially, without inflicting
injury. All attempts at close shaw
ing the sward should be avoided.
Many OF our most successful farmers
cut timothy nearly or quite four inch
cs from the ground. Others in gaug-
ing mowiug-machincs for this grass
take care to run them so high that it
will not bc cut below the second Joint
above the tubcr.
Close moving OF upland meadows
ought also tu be avoided. as the ac-
tion of the hot sun and dry weather
following the harvest affects the roots
of the grass unfavorably when LEFT
without some protection. On the
other hand low, wet moving grounds
will bear cutting close as possible /;
these are benefited by the influences
which would dry and burn up an
upland meadow. Again, where the
practice is followed of top-drcssing
the meadow Immediately after taking
off the grass, the moving may he
done low and a smooth surface left
to cut over the next time.
Generally speaking, grasses cut two
inches high will start much quicker
and thrive better than when shaved
close to the ground; the finer grasses,
as a rule, when the season is not a
very dry one, can be cut lower with
safety than coarscr sorts.

The Green Ourrant Worm.
From viek's illustrated Monthly.

fFptH fiHk = iilNHtIhtn hNNiHlgs
Will you please inform me how 90 use
white helcborc for the purpose Of killing
tho green currant worm 2 Should it be
mixed with some other substance, and If
so, what2 In what quantity aud in what
manner Is IL applied We have three
thousand currnnt bushes and they were
pose 1t will be here again in force this
spring.-MEs NJ. s., Hamilton, ohio.
To the same purport we read in
the proceedings of the Montgomery
Co. Horticultural Society, Of Dayton,
Ohio. BY the way, we must con.
gratulate this Society upon its flour
ishing condition, and wish it n pros
porous future. Its monthly "Pro-
cecdings" indicate "A lively interest,
and even enthusiasm, among its
members. In the March meeting of
this Society,
"Mr. Silver asked for remedy for the
Currant worm.
Mr.. Dinner said it appeared here last
summer for tho first time, but could not
state what would destroy it,
DR. Wurdcr said it al-o made it, fret ap-
pcarancc last summer in Hamilton county.
Mr.. Long.trcth said ncighbor of bic
successfully fought them last summer with
strong sonpsuds take them in time and
p"rscycrc, and success will crown your
efforts"
The currant worm. the larva Of n
saw-ny, lIbrdyis riJearid,) has long
been naturalizcd resident of this
section. We are afraid that soap
suds will bc n poor weapon to fight
this enemy with. The only thing
that has proved effective is what is
called White IIellcborc in the shops
it is really Ncratrum Album. This
comes in the shape of fine powder,
and is applied with small dredging
box, in quantities sufficient to give
the worms a good pcppcring. 1t is
best to scatter it on when the leaves
are damp, either by dew or after hay-
ing spriDklcd them with water. The
plants must be watched aud the pow
der applied whenever the worms ap-
pear. which will bc several times
during the season. The powder does
not iniure the fruit, and we never
heard of any i'll effects from its use;
Of course, in applying it one should
guard himself from il by standing to
the windward Of it. It is sometimes
mixed with water, and applied with
sprinkling pot or syringe, but com
mon sentiment fayors the application
Of it in n dry state. When once this
insect has settled in a locality, there
Is little hope that it will ever be en-
tircly rid of it.

This field has boen cultivated. The
first mentioned field was seeded Sept.
l9-the last, Sept. 20. Both were phos'
phated-the uncultivated with 200 HIS.
per acre, and the cultivated with 300
lbs. On square yard of the unculti'
vated 3l7 heads were counted--on IA
square yard of the cultivated 800. Ten
heads of the uncultivated average 7-l0
inches in length-ton of the cultivated
averaged inches.
Comparing Nixon's with Rhoadarm.
er's, the cultivated would appear to
have n very great advantage over the
uncultivated. But there is wide diff.
ference in the stand Of wheat in differ.
ent fields supposed TO have soil of the
same quality, in this valley, this season,
and it would not do to take the differ.
ence between Nixon's and Rhoadarm.
er's fields as settler of the question
about cutivating growing wheat.
The difference between Grccnawalt's
two fields is no more conclusive of the
question. The cultivated has more and
larger heads to the square yard than the
uncultlvated, but it received 100 lbs.
more phosphate per acre, which might
make all the difference.
These comparisons look favorable to
the new method, but other and more
extensive tests will have to be made
before its superiority can be taken as
established. In the measurement and
count made, Rhoadarmcr's uncultiyat-
ed falls almost rs badly below Greena.
waits uncultvated IA below Nixon's
cultivated.
We hope the matter will be taken up
and experimental upon by our farmers,
year after year, till it shall be fully set.
tied one way or the other.

Cultivated Wheat.

We find the following reports on
cultivated wheat in the Valley Spirit,
published at Chambersburg. We
should be glad to have reports on
the subject from some of our Centre
county farmers who have made ex-
periments in the same direction:
Major Ives and several other gentle
men have been examining some wheat
fields in this vicinity and we are indebt.
ed to the Major for some interesting
facts disclosed by the examination.
J.S. Nixon has a small field Of wheat
near the railroad station, which has
been cultivated between the rows while
growing. 1t was seeded in rows in.
ches vide and II inches apart. The
seeding was done quite lste--Oct. %
and no fertilizer was used. A square
yard of this field was measured and on
counting the heads of wheat within
that space they were found to mum.
Der 366.
Jere. Rhoadarmer has field Of wheat
in the same quarter Of town as Nixon's.
1t was drilled in the ordinary way and
at the usual time, with fertilizer, and
not cultivated while growing In IL a
square yard was measured and the
heads counted and found TO number
100, decline of nearly one.half com.
pared with Nixon's.
Henry Greenawalt, a mile west of
town, has two fields OF wheat, divided
from one another by the turnpike.
One of them was seeded in the usual
way with a drill, putting in q bushels
per acre, and has not been cultivated.
In seeding the other each alternate
boot of the drill was closed and the
rows Of wheat stand l6 inches apart,

which SCOT cannot bc used to advan-
tagc. In the liquid form it can DC
used in the proportion Of n peck to n
hogshcad Of water, and for Straw
berries just as they are swelling this
would be the best method of apply
ing it. On turnips AS "A field crop,
for protection from the fly, it can be
used mt the rate Of twenty bushels TO
the acre. AS top-drcssing 10 grass
lands, or to be dug into the garden,
it can be applied at the rate of forty
or fifty bushels to the acre, more or
less, according TO convenience. One
hundred bushels to the acre will do
no harm.
An analysis in France Of sam
pie of SCOT taken from n chimney
where wood had been the fuel used
showed, among other constituents,
twelve and a half per cent. Of water,
over twenty per cent. of nitrogcnous
matter, twcnty-scvcn per cent. OF sol
uble compounds Of lime and potash,
and thirty per cent. Of humic acid.
With such an exhibit we should cx-
pcct splendid results from its use, as
there always il. SCOT from coal is
usually thought to be better than
that from wood, and it is best when
made in chimney of low heat.
SCOT is valuable, not only AS a
manure, but TO drive away insects
that attack young Cabbage. Turnip,
l;addish, aud other plants like any
gritty substance, it rcpcls them. and
the bitter principle it contains, when
dissolved by the rains or dew and
spread on the leaves, is disngrccablc
TO them It is one Of the most val
uablc substances the gardener can
employ.
