Agricultural.



That some better protection is needed, il
WE would preserve our game, than laws that
merely prohibit hunting and fishing out of
season, is evident from the fact that such laws
have been in force in most of the States for
twenty years or more, without arresting the
progress toward determination of the most
valuable kinds Of fish and game. Hunting
aud fishing have become so fashionable u
recreation among a class of people having
wealth and leisure to indulge their tastes,
that every nook and corner of the country
yielding fish or game is sought out and over
run. The farm is sometimes turned into a
hunting park for the benefit Of city sports
men, or whatever idle person chooses to use
it for such n purpose. The law, that has
been in force in this State for the past four
years, permits this only at the option Of the
owner of the farm. Though the law as it
now stands has not been generally enforced,
If it remains permanently upon the statutes
it may yet prove the most effective means for
the preservation of fish and game. The law
is so much Of an innovation upon established
usage, that it was hardly to be expected that
it would be enforced at once. The State of
Pennsylvania has law for the preservation
of game similar to ours. The editor of the
rod and gun department Of the Germantown
Telegraph bears witness to its effect in that
State. He says at is not so much the loss
of game that farmers object to, as the injury
done in other ways by reckless gunners. The
few who break down fences, shoot stray
chickens, ducks and turkeys cast disgrace on
all, and in the eyes of the farmer all gunnors
arc Of the same feather 1t is unfortunate
that ii is so. The proper way to do is to OBJ
tain permission from the owners of the land
Farms on which gunners are forbidden to
hunt by published notices. are always better
grounds than places on which there are no
restrictions of this kind"
Uninclosed or wild lands might be left as a
common hunting ground, as they are practi-
cally in most cases under the present law, but
the liberty of any person to carry gun and
shoot game wherever he may find it, without
restriction, is privilege adapted only to a
wild or very sparsely peopled country. Such
IA practice soon dminishes game TO such an
extent that what remains is not worth hunt
ing. The fact that without protection there
will soon be none worth the following, either
for diversion or profit, ought to reconcile all
classes of Nmrods to an effective law for
preservation of game

some Original and weIl-,ried Receipts.

apple Jdm.-Take equal quantities of
brown sugar and good sour apples. The APP
pies must be pared and chopped fine. Make
syrup of the sugar, add the apple, and the
grated peel Of two or three lemons, and a
few pieces of white ginger. Boil until the APP
pie looks clear and yellow. The ginger is es-
sential to its peculiar excellence.
Tomato Jdm-Six pounds of tomatoes
skinned, two pounds coffee sugar, large
heaping teaspoonful each of whole cloves, all
spice, ground cinnamon and salt. Boil all
together until quite thick. Let it stand until
next day, when add vinegar to taste, heat and
seal up.
Cruliers.-Six eggs, one cup of butter, one
and half of sugar, nutmeg and lemon. Stir
the butter and sugar thoroughly, then add
the eggs, which must be well beaten. Stir
in flour enough to roll into any fanciful
shape. Fry light brown in plenty of lard.
When cool sift powdered sugar over them.
Mountain Cake. One pound of sugar, one
pound of -four, one-half pound of butter, one
cup of milk, two teaspoonfuls of cream tartar.
one teaspoonfu of soda, six eggs, whites and
yolks beaten separately. Flavoring of some
kind

Bee Keepers, Prepare for Winter.

The first part of the season gave promise
of good honey harvest, but after July LIST
the honey seemed to fail Bees multiplied,
sent out new swarms, and very many of the
new aud some of the old swarms are short of
stores for winter. Some old swarms are
heavy with honey, others light. Bee keep
ers, look well to your hives that you intend
to winter. A few pounds of sugar properly
prepared would carry them through all right,
when you would otherwise lose the bees and
what honey they have now. Much has been
said about bees indOors-that is, in some
building or dry cellar but my experience is
this: Give them suitable place outdoors.
| think as n general rule that bees will 20
through the winter in more healthy and
prosperous condition out of doors than any
where else. My hives face the southeast in II
bee shed, | pack the hives well with straw
during winter, leaving the entrance Open 1t
lakes one-third moro honey to winter out of
doors than in q celar.-Nelo Salem, Mass,
Car. HOmeStedd
The writer's bees have behaved very differ
emily from ours. The first part of the season
here was poor, and tho principal honey har-
vest was in July. There were fewer new
swarms than usual Swarms coming out as
late as the first week in July have gathered
honey enough to winter The yield of hon
oy from golden rod, which in this locality
is sometimes considerable, was this year
failure. The keepers of most of the large
npiares winter their bees in dark room or
cellar, perhaps more on account of their con-
stunning less honey than for any other reason.

NIX AND RECORD AND FARMER. FRIDAY, 1880
A wet Cellar for Heeplnr AppIs..

In view of the constantly increasing pro-
duction Of apples and the seemingly almost
universal crop the present season, and as the
late-keopers usually bring the most remuner-
alive prices, il is of vast Importance that we
practice the best known methods of picking,
packing and storing. In this matter many
have pet theories that are directly opposite
to those of others. For instance, recent
correspondent states that among essentials
for keeping apples is a dry cellar with cement
bottom. This is directly opposite to the ex-
perence of all the fruit dealers who visited
my cellar for tho purpose Of inspecting stock
during the past winter and spring, among
them two from West Virginia who handled
thousands of barrels in this county alone the
past season, and extensive fruit growers.
One of them remarked that whenever he en-
tered n cellar and was compelled to walk on
boards to keep out of the water, he was sure
to find the fruit in good condition, allowing,
of course, that the temperature had been kept
as near the freezing point as possble-as is
necessary in either case
Now both of these advocates are enthusiast
tic in their theories; is il true that both are
correct? As an experiment, during apple
picking last fall, selections were made of the
Northern Spy and Yellow Bellflower, careful
ly handled each specimen Of the latter was
wrapped separately in paper and placed in
ventilated packages, and stored Immediately
in my cellar, where, owing to the springy ma
ture Of the location, notwithstanding the
thorough drainage, during the spring months
water will be found on portions of the earth
bottom. The result has been that we are
now DULY p supplied with samples of the
Spy in q good state Of preservation the
Bellhower held out well until June /. TAX
ing into consideration that neither variety is
classed among the long keepers, the latter be-
ing what dealers term holiday fruit" l am
fully convinced that by careful and judcious
handling and practicing all the other best
known conditions favorable for keeping fruit,
dampness, or in other words wet cellar bot.
tom is not detrimental to the long keeping Of
our winter fruit.-C0r. ". Y. tribune.

1t is officially announced by the regular au-
thorities on the subject, that the last cotton
crop of the United States was by far the
greatest ever raised in this country, the total
being j,7G7, 900 bales The largest previous
crop was that of 1883, which was marketed
in the year 1860, amounting TO not quite
5000 600 bales Prior to the present great
crop, it had been supposed impossible for
southern free labor to equal the huge produc-
tion of slave labor in those States, as shown
in the crops sent to market before the out
break of the civil war. But now this is COM
pletely disproven. The largest crop of slave
grown cotton has been beaten by free labor
fully three-quarters of million bales. Ger

Now Push Your Butter Cows.

1t pays to feed cows giving milk, literally
Butter is high, and now is the time to feed
proftably. Every cow should be made to
produce as much butter as possible When
ever butter is twenty cents a pound or more,
there is money in the dairy business, and the
man who feeds most literally and judiciously
will make the greatest profit Meal doth
cotton-seed and corn, roots, pumpkins and
fodder corn, should all come in for a share of
attention as profitable food for dairy COWS.
Whatever kinds of food are used the COWS
should have all that they can proftably turn
into milk. Many men feel that they cannot
afford to buy grain for feeding to cows at this
season of the year. Let them take different
view, and ask themselves if they can afford
not to buy grain to feed COWS when butter is
as high as it is at present. -Le,oiStoa journal.

"The 2jOO acres of sugar beets at Los Angeles
show a high per cent of sugar and yield
of 10 tons per acre. As at present conducted
beet sugar making pays, and there is room

root. There are now but half dozen fac
tories for its manufacture in the United
States-one in this State, one in Massa-

partment in its treatise, will urge more ex-
tensive culture of the beet and the erection
of additional factories for its conversion into

j. n. Marden, Jr., of Baltimore, Nd, owns
pear farm which is the largest this side of
California. 1t contains 200 trees. Last
spring he tried the experiment of keeping the
frosts away by building fires around 300 Of
the trees on frosty nights. The rest of the
orchard produced a comparatively small guam
tity of pears, while the field around which
the fires were kept yielded 1000 boxes, which
sold for over $4,000.
Among the causes which produce brittle
hOofs in horses and cattle, the National Live
Stock journal mentions the frequent stand
ing in rotting dung heaps or in pools of de-
composing liquid manure. In the dung
heap there is not only the moisture and
steam soaking and softening the hoof but
there is abundance of ammonia gas, which is
especially calculated to soften, dissolve and
destroy the horn. Standing in such decom-
posing organic matter is still more injurious
when the animal is confined to box or stall
for here the injurious effect of inactivity is
added to the other conditions.
A New Jersey farmer writes; On the 10th
of April, 1879, bought five Guinea hens and
one male, and fed them on cracked corn uu-
til the 9th of May, when they commenced
laying eggs TO the amount of three hundred,
and then Matched and brought out fifty young
ones. They cost nothing to raise until snow
covers the ground as they live on insects and
seeds from weeds. think, with my expert
ence fifty Guinea hens ON II hundred acre
farm would keep the farmers insect enemies
away besides, with proper care, he would
secure over three thousand eggs. He could
allow few to breed so as to keep up the sup.
