New England has less than one-fourth of
one-per cent of the total area of the whole
country in wheat. 1t has q little more than
one-fourth of one per cent of the total prod
uct, the average yield being fifteen bushels
and half to the acre, while the average for
the United States is only thirteen bushels per
acre. Vermont produces about 5000 bush
els, and New England about l, 230, 900. The
total areA of the wheat fields of the United
States is more than 80, OOO, 900 acres, which is
equal to the entire extent of five or six states
of the size of Vermont, and the total product
is about 45O, 900 200 bushels, or 900 times as
much as is produced in Vermont. The guam
tity of wheat required for the -four consumed
in this state may be estimated at 1000, 600
bushels or four times as much as we raise.
Many of the hill farms of Vermont would
doubtless produce just as good wheat now as
they did 60 years ago, when the state pro-
duced its own bresdstuffs, if the exhausted
elements of the soil were returned by the use
of proper fertilizers. We know of farms in
this county that have raised wheat nearly ev-
cry year since they were cleared from the for
est, and still produce good crops. The yield
of wheat in the older wheat districts, after
having been reduced to low average by con-
slant cropping, of late years has been in
creased by more skillful culture. A writer
in the New York Tribune says that it is fire.
quently assumed that the soil of the old
states is wearing out that wheat culture is
moving westward, because the yield per acre
is dwindling. Our English cousins have
adopted this view, and express surprise that
wheat should continue to pour in upon them.
1t is a great mistake. The reverse is the
fact as to the most progressive and advanced
of the Older states that grow wheat. Where
"bonanza" farming and constant cropping il
practced, the yield per acre is decreasing
while improved culture is increasing it in tn,
older states

The practice of topping corn has been al
most entirely abandoned, we think for good
reasons but, as everything that was ever
done or proposed to be done on q farm will
have its advocates, we are not surprised to find
half-column article in an exchange advising
farmers to cut the tops of cornstalks in the
old-fashioned way.

The ReEinnlnE Of the End.

The beginning of disease is a slight debility or dis
order of Of the vital organs-the stomach, the
liver the bowels, usually. There are dyspeptiC
symptoms, the liver is troublesome, the skin grows
tawny and unhealthy there are pains in the
right side through the right shoulder blade. The
climax Is often utter prostration Of the physical
energies, perhaps fatal issue. But II the difficulty
is met in time with Hostetter's Stomach Btters which
is always effective remedy and should be resorted
to at early stage there will be reason to appre
bend those injurious subsequent effects upon the sys
tenn often entailed by entirey-cured diseases. Far
better is it, also to employ this safe remedial agent ia
fever and ague and other malAria complaints, thar
qunine and other potent drugs, which, even Vher
they do prove effectuAl for time, ruin the stomach
and impair the general health.

The golden-rod, from which bees sometimes
gather an abundant supply of honey, is pass
ing out of blossom without yielding them the
usual quantity. The blooming species of
golden-rod furnish the bees the last chance of
storing their hives from natural sources. 1t
has been poor season for honey, and many
light swarms will have to be fed to enable
them to survive the winter Bees can be win
tered as well on artificial supplies as on the
honey which they gather from flowers. Prob
ably either graduated sugar made into strip
of the proper consistency or glucose sirup is
a safer food for bees than some they are liable
to gather from natural sources. 1t should be
fed before the weather becomes too cool for
them to fly.

Though the spring was backward and the
early part of summer cold and unfavorable for
the growth of corn, the warm August and the
fine weather of this month have ripened even
the late pieces The ears on field of corn
planted the latter part of June, for fodder,
are now fully matured. The growth of fod-
der is generally above the average, and the
yield of grain not less.

How Many Pounds 60 "a BusheI OF Corn
ON she Ear s---AHOw much will
Corn shrink!


j. j. Thomas of Geneva, N. Y, weighed
corn in the ear after an unusually wet season.
on the first of January, and by the following
October it had lost one-fifth part of its weight.
The weight of corn in the ear of the northern
eight-rowed variety varied all the way from
6S to IS pounds, to yield shelled bushel of
60 pounds. Ears with small cobs, well dried,
afforded scarcely eight pounds of cobs to the
bushel; with larger cobs, freshly husked, they
may weigh u or ID pounds. A moist cob is,
of course, far heavier than dry one; hence
farmers who sell corn in the ear should know
the amount of loss from drying. AS gene
raj rule, 81 per bushel for corn in the ear in
summer is no better than 70 cents at husking
time. Sold in the ear corn should always be
weighed, not measured. A full, compact
heaped half-bushel of moderate-sized eight
rowed ears contained 90 ears, Weighing "a
pounds; thrown in loosely and heaped, there
were only A ears, weighing 9 pounds. She'll
ed corn shrinks in bulk and loses in weight by
long drying. In one case it lost one-twentieth
of its bulk and one-eighth of its weight in
three weeks, in a room heated with stove.
1t would lose more in a longer time, and it is
better to sell sheled corn early in winter at 80
cents than the following summer at 81. tbs
generally estimated that 1t takes two bushels
OF corn ON the ear to make one bushel OF
shelled CORN but the weight of corn on the
ear as given in these trials would make over
five pecks Of shelled corn from two bushels OF
ears in the same condition of dryness.
The legal weight OF shelled corn being 90
pounds to the bushel in this state, the weight
OF our corn in the ear, proportional to Mr.
Thomas's estimate for 60 pounds, would be
6ss to 20 pounds. The weight of the cob, Of
course, varies with the different varieties Of
corn. We do not think that corn husked ant
stored in dry oorn-houses in October would

As an indication of progress in the improve
ment of live stock, the statement of writer
not favorable to the management of the New

never before was there SO good an exhibition
of live stock, in point of quality, as at the
fair lately held at Worcester park.

The white grubs are not exterminated, tho
we have plenty of crows to eat them. Patches
of ground are not uncommon where the grass
roots have been eaten by the grubs so that
the turf is loosened. In many places they
have materially injured the potato crop.

ours. He secured from his druggist bottle Of

ters they all contained alcohol and had failed to give
his patients lasting relief nor should he take any 9TH

ued TO remain so ever since. Now he recommends
