AGRIC l. T U r A !
FOREST AND RAINFALL.

The Boston Commercial says: "The
theory tina. the rainfall or water power
of the United States has been affected
in any way by the destruction offorests
is devoid of foundation in fact. We
have investigated the matter carefully,
and there is no truth in it," Our learn
ed contemporary is, as Artemus Ward
would say, correct in everything but
his facts. 1t needs no argument to con
vince our Chester County millers that
the old water powers are less reliable
than formerly, and that each decade
points more plainly to the ultimate
necessity of at least a partial substitute
in the power of steam in fact many Of
our milers have been compelled to use
steam engines as auxiliary to their fail
ing water power.
That the average annual rainfall has
not been seriously affected is quite
probable, and we can, after some search,
tiud no record showing any material
variation in its average annual amount,
but that distribution has been Sc
rousy affected is very evident. In
former wears our forests held the sur
plus moisture and the leaves and po-
rus soil acted like an immense sponge
in retaining the water now this sur
plus rushes into our water courses,
causing periods of alternate floods and
droughts.
As much or more water passes along
our water courses now as there was fifty
wears ago, but its flow is much more
Irregular and uncertain, more than can
be utilized one month and not nearly
enough the next; a flood tearing all
before it one week and a deficiency
next week. Formerly our forests, by
their protection, held the snow, which
by more slow process of mel ing, kept
our main rivers at low flood mark for a
considerable time, thus prolonging the
rafting, which is now over in few
weeks, and often too short in duration
to pass the RATS from the forests to tide
water.
The report of the Board of Agricul-
ture states that while its Secre ary has
been unable to find any reliable resour-
ces proving any decrease in the average
annual rain fall, yet the government
records at Salt Lake City, Laramie,
Cheyenne and other points ON the
Union and Central Pacific Railroads,
prove that in spite of the destruction of
the timber, the average rainfall has very
materially increased, and in some cases
has nearly doubled its former amount
From Omaha clear on to San Francis co
climatic changes are taking place
which are clearly not due to forest de.
struction or forest planting. Should
these changes still go on and the rain
fall still increase we may expect that at
no distant day, when the surplus alkali
of the plains is washed out, that the so
called America desert will be taken
from our maps.

The SeoNOn at Cape May.

1t is now well-settled fact that tho
present is to be the most successful and
brilliant season ever known in the his
tory of Cape May. That renowned old
resort seems to have renewed its youth,
If vigor and progressiveness are 10 be
taken as the attributes of youth. All
visitors to the Cape retain happy re-
membranes of its grand beach, its roya!
,ilrf, its delightful society, and its en-,
chanting gaiety, yet those whose good
fortune directs them thither this sum
mer will revel in the e delights, to a
degree never before reached at a sea
side city. Taking the lead in this new
movement, TIE Stockton Hotel is pro-
viding for its guests charming pros
pect of revelry, mfrth, and music, The
extensive Improvements in Its beautl-
full lawn, wherein music, song, ard
dance will never he wanting to cheer
and inspire, will be completed and
equippe! with orchestra and band in
time for the enjoyment of the tide OF
visitors the Fourth Of July will bring.
There will be concerts in the after
noon, hops in the evening, and prone
nades 10 he sweet strains OF soft music.
In addition, the presence OF the mill
tary, the State Fencihles, who visit the
Cape II the 3Dth inst, will increase the
attraction at this special time. They
will add diversity to ChH ro'tnd or
pleasure by drills, dres, parales, and
field exercies If various kinds, while
the hop which is to be given On Satur-
day evening in their honor will be one
OF the events OF the season.
For the first week in July there is a
most enjoyable program, embracing
vocal and instrumental :nusicalrS,
hops, pron enade and lawn concerts, by

THE PROPER TIME To CUT GRASS.

lfE IhoIEh l lME ~ W hIHho'
The report of the analytical chemist
of the department Of agriculture,
summing up the results Of analyses Of
nearly all the cultivated grasses, says !:
1t is apparent, then, that in most
cases the time Of bloom, or theleabollt,
is the fittest for cutting grasses in order
to obtain the most nOurishmcnt and
largest relatively profitable crops, and
for the following reasons The amount
of water has diminished and the
shrinkage will therefore be less. The
weight of the crop will be largest in
proportion to the nutritive value of its
constituents. The amount of Nitrogen
not present as albuminoids will be
at its lowest point ; fiber will not be
so excessive as to prevent digestion,
and the nutritive ratio will be more ad-
vantageous.
If cut earlier the shrinkage is larger,
although the fiber is less and albumen
is little larger The palatability may
be increased, but the total nutriments
to the acre will not be so large, and
the nutritive ratio will be more abnor-
NAL.
The disadvantages of late cutting are
evident in the increase Of fiber, de-
stroying the digestibility of the nutri.
ments and the falling off of the album
en- by conversion into amides. This is
not made up by the larger crop cut.

A CHEAP FERTILIZER.

The following combination is recon-
mended by the Boston journal OF Chem
istry as a cheap and reliable substitute
for commercial fertilizers, such as super
phosphates, etc.
Take one barrel of pure, raw, finely
ground bones, and one barrel of the best
wood ashes; mix them on floor, and
add gradually three pals ofwater, mix
ing thoroughly with the hoe. Use in
small quantities in about the same man
ner as the superphosphates If the
ashes cannot be produced, dissolve
twelve pounds of potash in ten gallons
Of hot water, and with this solution
saturate the bone flour thoroughly bar.
rel of dry peat or good loam, without
stones, may le added.

HORSES,

A good bed of fresh straw is a great
inducement for tired horse to lie down.
Clean grooming, with an o casional
washing, will also give restfuness and
improve t.ie appetite and general health.
Over-feeding is not the cure for loss of
flesh by hard work and lack of rest.
Wash all Calling parts of the harness,
and keep them soft with castor-oil. A
little powdered aloes, rubbed in with
the oil, will keep vermin from attacking
the harness. The amount of work to
be obtained from team depends largely
upon the driver. Some will worry and
sweat team when drawing only an
empty wagon, while others can drive
the same team with a heavy load, and
not wet a hair. Kindness goes far
towards making load draw easily,
while an inhuman jerking upon the
bits or an injudicious use of the whip,
may be the leading causes Of poorness
in flesh of horses. Provide protection
from flies.
