The Outlook for Gamers.

The canning season has begun, but few of
the factories are yet running with full force,
the season being from twelve to fourteen
days later than usual. The tomatoes are
ripening slowly, and the vines do not fulfil
the promise given earlier in the season.
While some fields look tlourshing, from the
best information we have been able to gain
the yield per acre will be at last one third
short of the average, and if an early frost
should come, as was the case last year, the
production will be cut down to a still lower
average. Sugar corn, also, is maturing irreg-
ularly, although the yield per acre. in Hartford
county, will probably exceed that Of last year.
1t is impossible to foretell how prices will
rule, but it is safe to say that they will not
reach the low rates prevailing last year, at
least for tomatoes. While there is undoubt-
edly much larger area planted in corn and
tomatoes than ever before, it must be borne
in mind that last years crop is exhausted
and the new crop will therefore be in de-
mand as soon as it can reach the markets.
The rapidly increasing consumption, it is
believed, will more than counterbalance the
amount canned in excess of last year.
Therefore, it is fair to assume that the can
ming business will not be ovcrdone in Hartford
this year, at least, and Gamers may expect
q fairly remunerative market. Indeed, it is
the opinion of many that the canning bus
mess Is yet in its infancy, and for some time,
therefore, our farmers will find it profitable
business. One point should not be forgotten
by our Gamers, and that is, if the market
should become overstocked with canned
goods, the sales of inferior goods will first
cease. 1t is therefore of the greatest mpor-
lance for those engaged in the business to
can nothing but strictly first-class goods
Canned goods have become one of the
necessaries of life, and there will always
be paying market for the best articles
Gamers should discourage the packing
of field corn, since it has, at times, been
purchased by dishonest dealers and label
ed Hartford County Sugar Corn" to the
detriment ofevery corn packer in the county.

TALL CoRN.-We have seen some tall corn
and heard of taller than we have seem but the
following story surpasscs everything in the corn
line Tor lyngl yet reported. A small colored
boy living near Waters MILL being sent to n
neighbours on an GRAND, crossed Mr.. Waters
corn field. Observing remarkably tall and
strong stalk, he climbed it, and resting himself
on the ear, fell asleep. How long he slept he
does not know, but the sounding of the dinner
horn awaked him with a start, and he fell from
his perch to the ground unhurt The boy tells
the story himself and as proof of its correct
ness points out the identical corn. field in which
the adventure occurred. If this story is true
there will no longer be any doubt about the
height of Jacks bean stalk.

A Lady's Views on Tobacco Smoking

In a late issue of your paper noticed tho ad-
dress of the Hartford County Medical Society to
the Gamers, which l read with much interest
and heartily indorsed In this address find this
expression:
Even should the health not actually become
impaired, it may be averred with justice that
every human being possesses an inherent right to
the inspiration of a pure and unpolmted atmos-
pherc, and that no man can be empowered with
the authority, moral or legal, of destroying the
comfort and enjoyment Of his fellows by befoul-
ing the air they breathe.
that statement in regard to Gamers but, would
like to ask, does 1t not apply with equal force to
the smokers of tobaccop How many men, old
and young--and some, fear, with NJ. d. on their
door plates-in our cities and towns, sit upon
their own doorsteps, and befog the parors of
their neighbors with tobacco smoke!
A gentleman, with cigar in his mouth, APP
ing his most profound bow, he asks as smoking
offensive?" One young lady, beamng with
smiles, answers for the company 20 no, indeed"
and the gentleman proceeds to make the best of
his cigar He feels II he only asks permission
that he Is exonerated from all blame. but many
are the ladies and gentlemen who wish most
heartily that he had sacrificed his cigar and asked
no questions.

the young hopeful of more tender years may
be seen with chocolate imitation in his mouth.

his stomach Is strong enough for "the weed

who read the address in your paper will profit by
the same, and do all in their power to improve

Jacob LantZ,

Let the turf lie gently on his tomb,
Decked with the flowers which earliest bloom
A tribute to the memory of JACOB LANTZ
whose death cast a gloom over the entire COM
munity. He was good citizen, true friend, an
obliging neghbor, an industrious and honest man
What more can be added to the good qualities of
any man, living or dead.
His form is clasped in deaths embrace;
His active life is at an end,
No more his beaming, honest face
With candid smile will greet friend.
Released from toll by Gods command,
He leaves the world spotless name,
noble title, trite and grand;
More noble far than warriors fame.
His arduous life was pure and plain
No guleful thoughts were in his breast;
He toiled through life without stain,
Without foe he lies at rest
When passing by that hallowed ground
Beneath which lies the honored head,
Upon his grass above his mound
His neighbors all tear will shed
IvURos.

FINE CRoPs.-Large crops of wheat were
raised this year on Mr.. Henry w. Archer's three
farms, at Rock Run Mr.. VIM. G. Knight rails.
ed over 800 bushels on 4S acres, or nearly os
bushels to the acre. OF this 400 bushels were
Seneca White, which yielded Sc bushels to the
acre, on stalk GROUND. This is said to be the
whitest wheat ever grown in Hartford and will
be reserved for seed. The three FARMS which
are occupied by Messrs. Asel Tollinger, H. s.
Hilton and VIM. c. Knight, produced about 5000
bushels of wheat, and 1t is estimated that the
corn crop will amount to at least 200 barrels

Seeding to Grass in the Fall.

AS rule Western farmers sow but
little grass seed in the fall, though the
practice is quite common in other parts
of the country. In some of the Eastern
States, where there is much snow to pro-
tect the young plants, timothy is gem
orally sown in the early part of the fall,
and it makes good growth before the
cold weather sets in. Sometimes clover
does remarkably well when the seed is
sown at the same time. Winters in the
West are generally unfavorable to pre-
serving young grass and clover plants,
and the ground is ordinarily in poor
condition to seed down to grass in the
early part of the fall. 1t is often so dry
that seed as small as that of grass and
clover will not terminate. If the seed
sprouts, the tender stalks are often
destroyed by the hot sun and dry air.
During the past four years the practi &c
of sowing grass-seed on fields as soon
as crop of Hungarian grass or mill ct
has been harvested has become very
general in the vicinity of Chicago, and
4he best results have followed the prac-
tice. The seed is sown in the stubble-
fields and covered with light harrow.
If there are seasonable rains it comes
up in few days, and the stubble pro-
tects it during the winter. The condi-
dition of the soil in respect to moisture
is very favorable to sowing grass seed
in the West, and it is likely that much
more will be sown with fall grain than
is usually the case. If the seed is sown'
on grain stubble, and the winter is fa-i
vorable, good crop of grass can be
harvested next season. It will have the.
start of the weeds in the spring and will
in a great measure keep them in check.
If grass-seed is sown without grain in
the spring, however, weeds are likely to
take possession of the ground, and to
keep it Chicago Times.

The Draft Of a Plow sulky.

Why is the draft of pillow sulky less
than that of walking plowP asks and
answers a writer in the oh Farmer.
Simply because the pillow is carried
through the soil Instead of being pulled
though. In the common walking pillow
the weight of the soil upon the mold
board causes the pillow to rest upon the
bottom of the furrow, with SO much adj
ditional friction. With the pillow. sulky
this weight is transferred from the bot
tom of the furrow, with its friction, to
the wheels, including the weight of the
soil that is being overturned. With a
common pillow it will be noticed that the
under edge of the Landslide makes a
very smooth track in the furrow, which
can only be produced by considerable
pressure; but this disappears when the
pillow is suspended upon an axle between
two wheels. Then again, there is no
plunging of the pillow, going deeper than
is needed, or running to land and max
ing a wider furrow, with increased draft,
or running out and taking off only a
strip. At the ends of the furrow the
blow is hoisted and wheeled into its
place, instead of being dragged about;
aud in starting furrow or closing up a
landing no walking pillow can do as easy
and as satisfactory work as can be ac-
campIished by a sulky.
