The Photograph.

Another measuring instrument is
described in the French paper-the
"proflograph, so called because, when
in use, it traces mechanically on paper
the outlines of the ground over which it
travels. 1t is small carriage mounted
on two wheels, drawn by one man, and
attended by another, who marks the
levels at the proper places, and under
meath hangs an iron rod with large
ball at it's lower end, serving as pendu-
lum. This pendulum maintains con-
slant vertical position, while the machine
inclines In one direction OF the other ac-
cording as itascends or descends slope
To the upper end of the rod is fitted a
pencil, which marks on piece OF paper
the ups and downs of the country
traversed, whether on an ordinary road
or across trackless felds-the exact pro-
file being thus recorded to a given scale.
At the same time one of the wheels, act
ing the part of chain-bearer, measures
and indicates the distances travelled
throughout the survey-the whole being
accomplished with complete accuracy.
Watertown republican. [volume] (Watertown, Wis.) 1860-1906, 1880-11-10

yielded thirty-one bushels per acre,
weighing sixty-seven pounds per bushel.
! On account of the mildness of the WIN
ter this crop had to be grazed down
twice with sheep. Before harvest 1t
suffered from drought. The variety
planted was Fultz, one brlshel to the
acre. The seed, drilled wide and culti-
waited between the rows, yielded only
one-half as much as similarly planted
plots not cultivated.
ALL blowing under or otherwise dis
posing of rubbish from gathered crops
should be done during September and
| October. If roots are to be grown next
season where corn stubble is to be
plowed under, let it be done deeply
and all the stubble well covered. Root
culture requires good farming, and
rough uneven blowing, with loose corn
stubs on the surface, is not good farm
ing. A well-plowed corn strlbble- may
be worked with the disc harrow in the
| spring and well fitted for roots, which
are preferable to oats to follow corn.
A RESIDENT of Belchertown, Mass,
reports to the Fruit Recorder note
worthy results of mrlching with stones.
Tomato plants, around each of which
a compact circle three feet in diameter
thrifty and productive, but commenced
TO ripen very much earlier than the
rest, and the main portion of their
fruit was gone before the others had
ripened but small portion of their
crop This trial was SO satisfactory
that it was repeated the next season
with like results.
EXTRA mixers should be kept to
breed from, their milking qualities
alone emitting them to this preference.
1t is quite as necessary to raise calves
of good mixers, as it is to raise the
colts of good trotters in order to have
fast horses. Extra dairy COWS are al
ways in demand. 1t is certainly to be
regretted that more care is not taken
to improve the milking qualities Of our
COWS; and it is also a source of regret
that SO many of our farmers are in
the habit of disposing of so many of
their young calves to the butchers.
HORSES sometimes exhibit a slight
lameness Immediately after being shod,
though quite sound before. Such cases
may arise from the shoe being nailed
on too tight, and may be relieved by
removing the shoe and reapplying it
more gently. This lameness most fire.
quentIy occurs in horses with very
thin horn, and is ascertained by the
manner in which it comes on and the
absence of any other visible cause.
| The shoe may have improved bearing,

the sole OF heels, or the heels or sole
may have been pared too much or I'M
