What The Harvest win ID.

The Rural New Yorker has
sent out inquiries to all portions
of the United States in regard
to the crop prospects, and has
received up to July 6. one thou
sand special reports from all
parts OF the country. A sum
mary OF the reports foots up as
follow:
Wheat-A Splendid crop; the
largest ever produced.
CONAN immense crop TIC
estimate is likely to be 1900
100000 bushels.
oats-A fine crop every
where.
Barley-Good; estimate 5o,-
5000 bushels.
Rye = Good; 100000
bushels.
Potatoes Acreage not so
large as last year, but the yield
promises to be greater.
Hay-A very poor crop, es-
pecially in the Middle States.
High prices certain for hay.
Cotton--An increased acre
age and fine stand. Likely to
transcend any previous crop.
Apples-A fine crop.
Pears-A small crop.
Grapes An abundant crop,

One-half an ounce of salt to

Cows may be prevented from
sucking themselves by simply
bridiing them or in other words,
by taking common bride bit
and fastening it in the mouth

to reach over the head and tie

Indiana Farmer.
A Connecticut dairyman, who
has been experimenting with
turnips as food for COWS, thinks
they are worth twenty-five cents
per bushel. There was no saw
ing in the amount of hay con-
sumed, but they increased the
flow of milk. and were an aid
to the digestion ofhay and 9TH
or dry fodder. European ex-
perimentess have. come to the
same conclusion.
Never allow the hands or I'D
derto be wet with milk before
milking. When ready TO milk,
take the pail on the left arm.
and with both hands brush off
every bit of dust and all parti-
cies Of bedding from the cows
udder. If udder is not readily
cleaned in this way, use a
sponge and warm water. Milk
quickly, and allow no unprac-
ed hand at the COW, unless you
intend to dry the animal. Above
all, milk clean. A very little
lnattention here viii render a
valuable COW unIemunerative
in the dairy.

Clean Wool.

Colman's Rural World, with
its usual watchful care for the in
terests of readers, says ola sub
ject which should interest every
wool grower;
ITO have clean wool, one
must have clean pastures, and
to have clean pastures one must
be rigid in destroying burs and
weeds. a good sheep farmer
when he hires "a man will tell
him that one part of his duty is
to destroy burs, and that if he
ever sees him pass one in the
pasture without pulling it up,
his services will no longer be re-
quired. Some hired men walk
along with their heads SO high
that they can never see anything
that needs doing. They will
see tools, implements and other
things lying around in the yard
or field, and never think. If
they were looking TO the inter
est of their employer, they
would pick them up and put
them in the tool house, wood
houcc, barn or stable where
they belong. They will run
over them a dozen times a day
leaving them exposed to the
weather without thinking that
there is proper place for them
and that they ought to be in
that place, They will see rails
off the fence and things going
to destruction without taking a
minute or two to repair them.
When farmers hire men they
should tell them plainly to keep
a sharp watch over everything
in repair, and they should re-
prove them sharply for every
omission to do it. 1t will make
better farm hands and be much
better for the farmer.

Preserving Harness.

The first point to be observ-
ed is to keep the leather soft
and pliable. This can be done
only by keeping it well charged
with oil and grease. Water is
a destroyer of each of these.
But mud, and saline moisture
from the animal, are even more
destructive. Mud in drying alb
serbs the grease and opens the
pores OF the leather, making it .
ready prey to water, while the
salty character OF the prespira-
ton from the animals Injuries the
leather, stitching and mounting.
1t therefore follows that to pre-
serve a harness the straps should
be washed and oiled at intervals
as required. To do this effec-
tually the straps should be un-
buckled and detached, and then
washed with warm soft water
and crown soap, and hung by
a slow fire or in the sun until
nearly dry, then coated with
mixture of eatsfoot oil and tai
low and allowed to remain in a
warm room for several hours,
and when perfectly dry, rub
thoroughly with a wooden rag.
The rubbing is important, as it,
in addition to removing the sur
plus oil and grease, tends to
close the pores and give finish
to the leather. In hanging far-
ness care should be taken to al
low all the straps to have their
full length. Light is essential
TO the care of leather, and when
the harness closet is dark the
door should be left open at least
half the time during the day.
All closets, should be well ven
tilAted, and when possible be
well lighted. To clean plated
mountings, use a chamois with
a little tripoli or rotten stone,
but they should be secured as
little as possible Harness

&c Waste Lands

| 0ClEullliC <GlAChiN1i.
Hitherto the abundance of
natural timber in this country
has made it easy to dispense
with timber culture, and for the
most part our land owners have
taken little interest in such slow
growing crops, This state Of
things, however, is rapidly pas
sing away. The demand for
special woods for manufacturing
purposes is steadily and rapidly
increasing, while the natural
supply is diminishing and must
ultimately become quite made
quate. Meantime there are mil
lions Of acres OF land suitable
for timber culture and for moth
ing else, except poor pasturage,
! that our land owners are allow
ing to lie waste and idle for lack
of a little foresight, and too fire.
quently our would-be thrifty far
mers will risk their surplus
means in wildcat speculations,
promising but never yielding
large and speedy returns, when
the same money spent in plant
ing timber would soon convert
their worthless swamps and
stony places into valuable pro-
pertieS.
A correspondent, writing
from Wisconsin, tells of a piece
of land that was planted with
walnut twenty-years ago. This
land was flooded every spring
and summer, and was unfit for
any ordinary cultivation. The
trees are now from siXteeu to
twenty inches through and have
been sold for $4,000. Nopar-
ticulars are given as to the cost
of planting the grove or TO the
amount of attention it has had
during the years OF growth.
There can be little doubt, how
ever, that the investment Was
small in comparison with the re-
turn, and the land otherwisesre7
manned entirely unprqd,s =

Der culture OF Ian are

tive; and the planters would find
their groves surer investment

possessions than any savings

Tribune, wishing to compliment
John Logan, described him in
the senate as "prancing into the
arena like a trick mule into a
circus ring" and shifting the
English language in the face
with his trusty battle-aXe. Now
the Tribune proudly points to
Logan as waking the echoes
of the Green Mountains with
his stalwart western oratory."
