TIE ARMY WoRM.-The army worm
has made its appearance in force in sever
al parts of Eastern Massachusetts. 1t has
destroyed the crops upon large portion
of Long Island, and caused great loss in
New Jersey and Connecticut. believe
that early and long continued dry weather
is the chief cause of their appearing in
such multitudes. There is every likeli-
hood of their doing immense damage if
the dry weather continues. Therefore
every farmer ought TO prepare for their
coming. OF course the first thing to be
done is to cut as rapidly us possible the
MV. Then prepare land for fodder corn
which can be planted in this latitude until
the Goth of July.
In planting as late as from July 9Th to
goth, should use one bushel of Mann
mouth ensilage seed corn Or one and
IL half bushels of southern white-or two
bushels OF evergreen sweet corn. The
army worm does his work of destruction
in II few days. If he comes we should
have land prepared and ready to plant
with fodder corn,and plant While he is here
He will probably be gone before the corn
is up. After the 10th of July, and certain
ly after the LIST of August, would rather
sow milet than corn. Although corn
planted as late as then in drills 2 l-2 to 3
feet apart, using 2 bushels of seed corn to
the acre will bring an immense crop. In
all cases manure heartily M cultivate yell.
lfmu corn is destroyed by the army
worm | shall keep planting so rs to be
sure and have the seed in the ground when
he leaves the land. A late crop of fodder
corn or millet can be preserved in II cheap
sio, and the necessity of selling stock this
fall ut sacrifice for want of winter fodder
can be surely avoided. If the work of
Ensiaging" is well and thoroughly
done, success IS certain.
Let every farmer plant every rod Of land
he can to fodder corn. 1t can be planted
between the rows of early potatoes. Old
fields which have been moved can be
turned over and fine crop raised by us
ing 200 pounds of superphosphate broad
cast to an acre, and the same amount in
the drill. If it is dry when you plant. mix
plaster and phosphate in equal parts for
the drill.-Johm NJ. Bailey, in Massachu-
sets Pl0uglna an.

MULCIHNG FOR FEUIr.-A fruit grower
gives the result of his experience in mulch
ing for fruit, as follows:
1t may not be generally known, espe-
cialIy by farmers or those engaged in
pursuits foreign to fruit growing that
many varieties of fruit plants, vines and
trees, require, TO obtain the best results
4 large amount of mulching and manur'
ing.
The grape vine is II great feeder, requir-
ing before planting deep preparation OF
the soil, good cultivation, and frequent
applications of manure to the surface ever
after.
Currants and goosebcrIies require fire..
quent mulchng to keep out the blue grass,
keep down weeds, and promote luXurant
growth.
The Doolittle black cap raspberry, which
every family should have in abundance,
can not be grown successfully on any
soil without heavily manuring, and should
be cultivated both ways, like corn, and no
tips allowed to grow.
The strawberry bed also requires Il fire.
quent top dressing of well rottcd compost
and plants kept thin on the ground.
Cherry trees, old enough to bear, by
heavily manurng, will produce nearly
double the number of bushels, much larger
and sweeter, and from ten days to two
weeks earlier.
1t has been theory with fruit growers,
and has generally been conceded, that
apple orchards, even when down in grass,
are better off without manure. When an
orchard is not in cultivation and is old
enough to bear, a good muching in the
fall and winter will, in nine cases out of
ten, result in Il fair crop of apples the next
season.

PIGS IN THE DAIRY.-A dairyman
writes: 81 find there is no more profta-
BILE stock to keep on a dairy farm than
good pigs. l keep two pure Berkshire
brood sows and one boar and raise four
filters each year. The filters average
eight each. and the pigs are sold when
they are between fosr and five months
old to make room for the new filters.
They then weigh from 120 to $50 pounds
dressed and sell for seven cents pound.
Last year pigslbrought me in over $3.50,
and they did not cost me $50 outside of
the skinned milk and tho buttermilk
which they consumed. have tried
several kinds of pigs, Chester whites.
Yorkshires. Suffolks, grade Berkshires,
and pure ones, and find the pure Berk-
shire and the half-breed of this breed and
Chester white the best feeders. The
meat of these two kinds will more readily
sell than any others, being lean and fat
mixed, while Essex Suffolk and Yorkshire
are all too fat for sale in the summer time.
| am now curing the hamsiand the sides for
bacon, and find it is more profitable than
selling the carcassos. don't think any
thing on dairy farm pays SO well us
good pigs properly managed. -Amcri'

FooT Ror IN SHEEP.-This disease is
contagious. and may spread through the
whole flock, unless prompt preventive
measures are taken. In it the whole hoof
becomes inflamed, blisters form on the
heels and between the toes, which eXcrete
fetid matter. The fore feet are usually
affected, and the sheep goes about feeding
painfully on its knees. The hoof is lost
in course of time, and sore stump alone
is left. 1t is usually the result of feeding
on wet pastures. 1t should be treated on
the first appearance of lameness, for after
wards the whole condition of the animal
is demoralized. All raw, loose or diseased
horn should be cut away, and If any pus
or matter is found under the horn it should
be removed. The feet should then be
washed with carbolic soap and water twice
Il week, and after each washing piece oil
soft tow or lint stepped in the following
mixture should be bound on the foot and
between the toes: Oxide of copper, four
ounces; arsenic, half an ounce; acetic
acid, three ounces; honey, eight ounces
We have also heard of excellent effects
from washing clean the affected part with
Buchan's carboic soap, No. II, and then
applying Buchan's cresylc ointment. NO.
y soap costs fifty cents cake. which will
wash one hundred sheep. A four-ounce
box of cresylic ointment costs twenty-five
cents, and is enough for twelve or fifteen
sheep. The above soap, it is also claimed
is an excellent remedy for all kinds o.
skin sores in horses and cattle generally

LIKE PRODUCES MANY years ago,
and in period of our agricultural history
when new varieties of any farm crop were
extremely rare, an observant farmer of
Pennsylvania, acting on the principle that
perfect grain could only be insured by
using perfect seed, originated II superior
variety of wheat which he named 'barrel
wheat" This he did by holding the
sheaves of wheat in his hands by the butts
and beating the tops over barrel. The
large, plump, perfect grains would ay out
and none others. This wheat was used as
seed, and the same practice to procure
seed being followed IL few years, produced
what seemed to be Il new variety of wheat,
but what was only the result of practical
application of the natural law of selecting
the fittest. This anecdote is practical
illustration of using none but the very best
seed. Unripe, small potatoes are unfit for
seed; neither are overgrown, hollow tu-
bers. The former are weak and imperfect
the latter, like all abnormal monsters,
unbealtby.-KansaS Farmer.

JERSEY BUTTER IN New YORK.-Three-
quarters of the highest priced butter used
in New York and New England to-day, is
made from Jersey COWS; it brings very
high price, and the demand is greater than
the supply. The bulk of the butter deal
ers do not handle this, and it is not known
to the newspaper market reports. AS a
rule, it goes once or twice week directly
from the dairy where it is made to the
dwelling house, or club, or hotel in which
it is eaten; it has less than one-quarter of
an ounce of salt TO the pound, and thus
none of the finer and aromatic odors are
lost. 1t is made from the milk of healthy
Jersey COWS, WHO cat only the sweetest
food, drink the purest water land breathe
the ceanest ali; they are carded and
brushed and carefully bedded and are
always treated with gentleness. 1t is
made from milk which is Immediately re-
moved from tine stable, though the stable
is daily sprinkled with gypsum, and has
no manure cellar under or near it; it is
made from cream which has risen in less
than thirty-six hours, in clean tins and in
clean atmosphere; it is granulated and
brincd or washed in the churn, and work
ed with the greatest care; 1t is always
kept cool, and never touched with ice
even on the table. The cows, the milk,th
cream, the salt, the tins, the butter. are all
kept clean and in an odoress atmosphere.

LET VILLAGE RESIDENTS KEEP Cows
Every family on farm of course keeps
one or more COWS, but we claim that the
jewellers in villages, and very many in
cities can, and should each keep COW.
Good milk is the best of all food for young
children. and it goes great ways in saw
ing butter bills, and in the preparation OF
paatable nourishng food of many varie.
ties The above actual results show the
economy of keeping ones own COW. Two
to five families, according to size and
numbers, can readily unite in having one
COW kept. dividing the milk and expenses,
and thus always have good, pure, rich
milk ut very moderate cost. The suitable
refuse from the kitchens of three or four
families would 90 good way towards
reducing the cost of purchased food. In
rural villages summer pastures can be
obtained near at hand, which, with a
daily feed of good milk at II low cost. A
boy can be secured ut u small price to
drive the COW to the pasture in the morn
ing, and return her at night to the stable
A Stable or stall can always be obtained
at II trihing rent, and be kept clean,
There are always plenty of gardeners oil
farmers who will gladly take the manure
away so frequently as to prevent it being
a nuisance, or disagreeble.
We have no doubt that all residents Of
villages, manufacturing towns, ETC., can
by arrangements like the above. secure
an abundant supply of pure, rich, fresh,
healthful milk at less than three cents per
quart, and at the same time add greatly to
their home comforts, and save the health
if not the lives of their little ones.-Agrt-

ADVANTAGE OF HENS HAVING A GOOD
RANGE.-Leaving home late in November
last, to be absent till the following May,
had my little flock of. white Hamburg
fowls removed to neighbours, for fear
they would be stolen, if allowed to remain
at my untenanted place. To keep these
fowls from mixing with his own, my
neghbor had to confine them to a yard
twenty feet square adjoining their roosting
house During this time, they did not
lay half as many eggs as similar flock
had done kept at home during three
months of the preceding year. In May l
brought these hens back to my own place,
where they have good run on grass lot,
and Il small space of plowed ground. A
few days after this they began to increase
the number of their eggs, and in about 4
fortnight they more than doubled them
daiIy-somc days trebled them. AS their
food and water are precisely the same in
both places, | can only account for this
increased egg production by the hens hav-
ing run where they could get plenty oil
fresh grass, some insects, and pick up
various things from the ground, which we
cannot well observe, and which are known
and appreciated only by the hens them
selves Handbags and Leghorns are
great grass eaters, and | have sometimes
thought that when of Il good quality it was
equivalent TO one fourth of the other food
given them for their nourishment. When
Kept by my neighbor, the poultry had
pork scraps occasionally, which were
equivalent, for meat, to the insects they
now catch in the oprn lield,-A. IN RurdL

THE CosT OF TILLAGE.-Other things
being equal, that land which is titled with
the least expense, is the best land. 1t is
not the size of the crop that determines
the profit in farming, but the excess of the
income over the outgo. If it costs more
to keep a corn field perfectly clear from
weeds than tho value of the increase of
the crop caused by that culture amounts
to, then, so far as the corn crop is concern
ed. such excess of corn is loss. But the
influence of the care bestowed on one crop
upon those that follow it must not be over
looked. 1t may be the best system that
grows certain crop at a loss in order to
raise succeeding ones at n profit. The
value and cost Of tillage, in II well estab.
lished system, depends very largely on
the time and place that it is done.-Amer-

Much MILK, LITTLE FATS this
true?-A writer in the New York Tribune
SAYS that lat the last show of the British
dairy-farmers' association, the highest
prize was awarded to u Dutch COW, be-
cause she gave the largest quantity OF
milk. This producing great dissatistac-
ton among the exhibitors of COWS which
gave milk of Il superior quality. and to
show that they had good reason for this,
the distinguished chemist, DR.. Voelcker,
was employed to analyzc the milk from
several cows mt the show. THAT of the
Dutch COW gave SS.72 per cent of water,
and 227 of fatty matter, while an Ayr
shire and Dexter COW gave respectively
- and 5 per cent of fat, showing that
the milk of these two last was more than
twice as rich us the first. Had the milk
of II Guernsey or Jersey COW been ana
lived, it would doubtless have produced at
least three times rs much fatty matter as
the Dutch cow" What sort Of II Dutch
cown is meant is left for the the reader
to conjecture; but the inference seems to
be conveyed that aU Dutch cows " give
milk OF the same poor quality. Our Hol-
stein men must meet this squarely, or this
inference will prevail generally, rs it does
now to some extent, in the public mind,
Give us facts, gentlemen. But who has
seen milk with G.Sl per cent of fat in it -
" three times us much fatty matter AS the
Dutch cow" And what was the per cent
of water in the milk of the Ayrshire and
Dexter cow?-NeO Engtam Farmer and
