Haying is now fairly under way. Tho crop
is hardly as large here as was expected,
though it is reported TO be above the average
in most parts of New England. In this local
ity the effect of last summers drought is still
seen in the crop of this season newspaper
correspondent, passing through Washington,
Orange and Windsor counties little before
the commencement Of the haying season,
wrote that he never before saw grass looking
SO well at that time of the year. Some re-
ports have represented that the hay crop of
Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont would
be immense. On the contrary, Bro link
ham of Pomfret, who should be good author
ity, believes that those who are looking for
such an extraordinary crop Of hay will not
have all their expectations realized. He was
thoroughly surprised in going over his now
ings to find how light the growth was.

hear SO much complaint about the cut
worms destroying tobacco and other plants,
l must tell you what did two years ago to
oXterminate them. l had nearly four acres
of tobacco in one piece. l had very nice
early plants, and the first week in June 1 set
about 1000 plants. The next morning saw
that the worms were eating them badly so l
and my three boys went to digging worms,
and we found from four to eight worms in
every hill. The next day we went through it
in the same way and found large number of
worms, but not as many as the first day.
The third day we went through it again,
finding large numbers of worms, while there
was scarcely plant left on the piece. My
boys were almost discouraged and thought
we had better give up the crop, and did not
blame them. But l told the boys that was
going TO play those worms Yankee trick.
just Mt night went into tho woods and got
several kinds of leaves and put them on two
rows through the piece. The next morning
went to see which kind they liked best.
saw they were not very particular as to what
kind of food they had, but thought they eat
the leaves from the chestnut tree as much as
any, as they are tender at this season Of wear
and easy TO be got. / then filled corn bas-
ket With leaves from the chestnut tree took
about two gallons of water and put two table
spooniuls of Paris green in it. and put the
leaves into the solution. Then we put one
leaf on each hill over the field before setting
another plant of tobacco, putting a small
stone or lump of dirt on each leaf to keep it
from blowing away. The next morning l
went out into the field to see what was the
result. What I saw did me good There
those worms lay under the leaves like hill
of potatoes; they had eaten little shot-holes
through the leaves, and some were dead and
some in a very stupid condition-they never
chewed again. then set out my tobacco
and was not troubled with the cut,worms. l
had good crop, and sold what grew on that
piece that season for over $1,000, which l
thought well paid me for the Yankee trick

though most Of those brought in this season
have been lined Our season is now about at
an end. Our importations commenced three
years ago. Our sales have been very large,
considering the newness Of the attempt We
received in one consignment 1900 cases,
equivalent to 1900 barrels, and our trade this
fall is so arranged that we shall receive POO
cases by every steamer that is, every other
week"
A second firm statos "Our eggs come
from Germany. We have not had any that
were lined but, on the contrary, have always
had fresh ones. They rank up to the highest
in quality that we get in the market, and, al
though small, are not smaller than We obtain
from some parts of Ohio. The size of eggs
has been increasing since the introduction of
Asiatic fowls, but there are parts of the coun-
try where no effort has been made to improve
the stock. Our foreign eggs are plainly the
product of the common barnyard fowl. The
sales are good, and we shall begin our i'm
portations afresh this fall"
An old merchant, who was appealed to con-
corning his knowledge of the matter, said he
saw no reason why he could not bring in eggs
from any port in Europe. The longer the dis
lance the greater the freight, but it did not in
crease in proportion. For the ordinary bar
rel of eggs containing seventy dozen, the
charge was fifty cents from most European
ports here. That was about two.thirds of a
cent dozen. Our winters were more severe
than those of Europe, and it is well known
that the hen is checked in laying by cold.
Thus, at the season when eggs are an aocep-
table article of diet, and prices are high, Dan
ish and German eggs come in at a low price,
meeting good sale. "There is no difficulty
now in transporting them The voyage only
lasts from ten to twelve days, while eggs in
winter will keep two months or more. They
are not SO good when kept as they are when
new, but neither is an egg four days old so good
as one newly laid. In our cities now we have
cold storage, which is extensively resorted to
with eggs. Often the market is gutted, while
at other times it is empty. The sagacious
produce dealer puts his good brands in cold
storage, while those he does not have so much
confidence in are sold Immediately. Eggs
probably will come over in the winter when
ever prices are high.
sec no reason why this development of the
egg trade may not extend to other and more
remote countries. The domestic fowl is
found all through the temperate zone, looking
out for itself and needing but little attention
from its owner. Should the distance in time
not prove too great, the importation of eggs
into San Francisco from China might give us
new and cheap supply from a region from
which we now obtain little. No industry is
carried on with more vigor in China than
poultry raising, and for thousand miles from
the canal each little yard is provided with q
cock and hens Even the boats which ply up.
on the great rivers of that country and their
tributaries are supplied with these useful
birds OF course this is drawing considera
bly, on the possibilities of the future yet it
presents queer phase Of the egg trade. -

The turnip crop is one of the most import
ant in our system of farm rotation, but it is
one that is more generally neglected than
any other. 1t is not so valuable crop as
parsnips, carrots or beets, SO far as its feed
ing value is concerned but it can be pro-
duced at less cost than the Others Beets,
carrots and parsnips should go in early, in
order to get good start in growth, but we
have the advantage of being able to defer the
putting in of turnip seed till July, after the
new crop of seed is ready, and cultivation is
carried on during period when no other
crops are being seeded. Considering the
cost of production, the turnip crop should be
special one on every farm. They keep well
during winter, and not only serve an excel
lent purpose when sliced and fed in the raw
state to stock, but can also be cooked and
mixed with other food Not only are the
roots valuable, but the tops also-there is no
part wasted. By weight they produce heav-
lily, and are not deficient in bulk when com.
pared with many other crops.
The most essential feature connected with
the cultivation of turnips is to make the seed
bed fine. The seeds are very small and
must not be deeply covered, and no Jumps or
other distractions should be tolerated on the
location intended for them. In procuring
seed get that which has matured this season,
and use it literally, as this plant is often at
toShcu ~ tnS Jump N.Y. WHICH Is very ue-
structive. Turnips may be sown broadcast
on ground that has been cultivated and kept
clean and free from grass and weeds the pre-
vious year; but they should never follow
corn, experience having demonstrated that
such rotation does not result we'll
The seed may be sown in drlls-the drills
to be of such distance apart as serves best for
either the hoe or cultvator. When they are
high enough to thin out, an ordinary hoe
will cut away all that are not desired, leaving
the most vigorous plants and hand picking
is sometimes necessary to thin out the stools
that are left. During all stages of growth
the crop should be kept free from intrusion
of weeds and grass, as turnips are sometimes
overtaken by drought, during which time it
is absolutely essential, not only to keep down
weeds, but also to keep the soil loose by fire.
quent cultivation.
The best fertilizer for turnps is super
phosphate but the addition of proportion
of guano and potash in some shape will be
beneficial. Above all, however, there is
nothing better for them than a liberal appli-
cation of good, fine, well rotted stable man
ure; especially if it has been broadcasted
and well worked in with the harrow before
drilling in the seed -PIiL1 RecOyd

Nearly Free From hugs.
The rain falls upon the just and unjust alike :;
and the potato bug devours tho vines Of the
farmer, tho deacon, his skeptical neighbor,
and all others without much distinction A
minister was struck with lightning while re-
monstrating with the boys for swimming on
the Sabbath, and tho best luck in fishing often
happens on that same day again, the Sun
day excursionist is drowned, and the cyclone
whips up the unbelever. 1t now and then
happens that field Of potatoes belonging to
some good man escapes the ravages of the de-
stroying bug, and no poison need be used.
The same thing might happen on the potato
patch Of a man not noted for goodness. We
have no proof that it does not yet we
have a small field Of potatoes, just beginning
to blossom, that the bugs have let alone most
ly, without being induced thereto by feeding
on paris green or any other poison. We were
about to apply it, but found that it was not
then needed and this happens in year
when the bugs are rampant in the neighbor-
ing fields and in all the country. Later in
the season the wicked ten liners may perse
secute us and compel us to use a murderous
poison in sclf-defence. We shall only use it
this year as a last resort. We believe that
physicians are now finding more cases than
formerly Of injury to persons from the use of
paris green, in part, no doubt, from a better
knowledge of its effect farmer recently
died in Springfield, Mass, in consequence of
walking with bare feet, last year, through n
potato field where paris green had been used.

HUNGAR1AN GRAss.-As the quickest grass
from which crop can be gathered a success
full farmer writes
Hungarian grass cannot bear cold weather.
If the weather is hot it grows rapidly, and
the plants obtain rank growth, while if
there is a cold spell the crop is much injured.
From this intolerance to cold the seed of
Hungarian grass should not be sown until
warm and settled weather has come and the
soil has lost its chlliness. Sown as late as
July it will make fine, full growth, provid.
ed there is an abundance of food in tie soil.
From what has been said it is clear that Hun
garian needs a rich soil This is true, and
there are few crops that respond more freely
to the application of manure or commercial
fertilizers.

ness, said to New York exchange at is
true that we are now bringing in eggs from
the other side Of the water Ours come from
Denmark, or at least are shipped from there.
We have been told that a portion is from re-
glon as remote rs Italy, where the eggs are
picked up at six and eight cents q dozen but
as to that we do not know. Our eggs are
small but with firm shells and stand trans
portation well. We do not have as many
broken or injured ones among them as we
do from Chicago. This may partly be owing
to better packing, but part no doubt is due to
the superior quality Of the eggs themselves.
Ihey arrive in cases of 100 dozen each, which
IS much larger than our usual packages. and
nifty dozen more than our barrel The case is
nearly five feet long and two feet wide. Ow.
ing TO this unusual package, they have been
rather difficult to dispose of, while the size of
the egg has also been against it, Yet We find
that where they have been used they are well
liked, and we receive renewed orders.
