This applies to our great

The end comes, however.

Agricultural.

Tho hay crop is very disappointing. Upto
the time OF the hard frost on the last Of May
there was good prospect for more than an
average crop, but after that date the grass
soon began to appear stinted, its growth was
slow, and month later some pieces actually
yielded less grass than could have boon cut
on them Just before the frost. A few towns
report an average crop, but It is generally
light throughout the state. With moro fod-
der crops, and cheap western meal, we are
less dependent on hay as a necessity in win
toring stock than formerly yet it is advisa-
bic to begin early to make such arrangements,
either by reducing the number of animals or
by other means, that we can sec our way
clear through the winter. One thing is favo-
rablo as far as making our supply Of hay an
swer is concerned owing to the great demand
for horses and cattle and the high prices they
have brought for the past two years, great
number have been sold, and the stock on
hand is light We estimate the amount of
live stock in this county at from ten TO twenty
per cent less than it was three or four years
ago. With this reduction in our stock and
the careful utilizing of all kinds Of fodder,
tho light hay crop may be made to answer
our purpose till we get better one. A light
first crop is often followed by abundant fall
feed and good second crop on rich land,
but we fear that this time tho grasshoppers
will want the aftergrowth

Farmers as Lav.NTaLors.

The Watchman, referring,w we suppose, to on
article in this department of The Phoenix,
says that this paper protests against ANY de-
sire on the part of farmers to rule the coun-
try or to control the policy of the states"
Not So The language is the Watchmans,
not ours. What we disclAimed was any par.
ticipnton in tho foolish talk about farmers
ruling this country, the world, etc, remark
ing, perhaps rather unnecessarily, that we
we're willing that people in other occupations
should have q share. 1t is very narrow and
absurd to set up the occupation, whatever
that may be- as an exclusive qualification for
Office but if we were to consider so non
sensical proposition as that all or nearly all
public Offices should be filed with persons
taken from ono class of occupations the
country could not be better served than by
honest, educated and intelligent farmers. 1t
still takos eternal vigilance" to maintain the
equal rights of all the people, and we do not
quite do it except in theory. In the farming
population this fundamental doctrine of the
republic has its strongest hold. Horace
Greeley used to say that the salvation of the
country was in the virtue and honesty of the
voters of the rural districts If we had few
er representatives of the aristocracy OF
wealth in our legislative bodies, particularly
in the United States Senate and moro true
representatives of the rural districts, the
rights of tho mass of the people would be
hotter assured

raVages of insects infesting the bushes, and
yet little care will conquer all these. When
the stems are eaten by borers, rendering them
hollow, and in many instances causing them
to break, trim the bushes in the fall or early
spring, and where a hollow stem is found cut

water; sprinkle the foliage with this from q

the fruit is ripe enough to pick, If the fruit

sence of hellebore, hot water, a little hotter
than one can bear their hand in, applied to
the foliage will kill most of the worms or at
least keep them in check until hellebore can
be procured. The ourrant spanworm, so
called from archiug its back at every step is
more difficult to kill than any other of the
leaf-eating caterpliars. Should it attack the

My experience and observation is that it is
q wasteful practice ut least, TO SOW grass seed
early enough in tho fail to have it make some
growth before the ground freezes. In all
cases when / have done so some portion of
the grass would DO killed by the late fall and
early spring freezing, and these spots would
have to be reseeded in order to get a good
stand of grass. l have seen several pieces of
grass this spring that were sown last fall,
whioh were badly killed.
If l were going to seed down land to grass
in the fall, | should delay sowing the seed till
Just before tho ground froze, so that it would
not terminate till spring. l have had good
success seeding in this way on land free from
weeds, but on land badly infested by them
the first crop is liable to be injured to q GER
tain extent One fall fitted two pieces of
land all ready to SOW. About the first of the
next April the snow went off so that tine
ground was bare, and l sowed these fields
with grass seed. The same day snow fell
again to the depth of several inches, and the
ground was not bare again till early in May
On both of these fields had good crops Of
grass that summer.
At another time, having my land oil ready
to SOW in the fall sowed my grass seed the
last of April On the field were patches of
snow, and the ground was wet and soft
When the grass began to grow 1 could see no
difference in its appearance where the ground
was bare when the seed was sown from those
places whore it was covered with snow. That
season was dry one, and a light crop was
the result. The latter part of the season we
had more rain and the grass gotta good stand,
and the next year there was good crop.
For number of years past l have sown all
of my grass seed in the spring. and have OBJ
tanned the best results from that method. As
early in the spring as my land is dry enough
to work, II is well worked with a cultivator
and harrow, and the seed sown on the fresh
soil The first rain will cover the seed sufii-
ciently, and with a favorable season the crop
is ready to cut in twelve weeks from the time
of sowing. This year sowed my grass seed
the first of May, and as we had wet weather
up to the first of June the grass has made a
good growth, and there is prospect of a
heavy crop if the weather should continue ia

a young friend whose reputation for delicious
soda biscuit had preceded her visit at tho
house Of q friend, and who was asked as
great favor, TO make q tin Of biscuits in one
of those emergencies which will occur in the
best-regulated households when the help
leaves without warning and company comes
without invitation. The soda was faultless,
but the cream of tartar had been purchased
years BEFORE when drug store had failed
and articles were sold at bargain, and had
been kept in the paper in which II was first
wrapped The young lady was suspicious of
it, though knowing nothing of oil this and
used a very generous quantity; but the gold
en- hue of the poorly-raised biscuits proclaim
ed something wrong, and the hostess, gener-
ously coming to the relief of the discounted
biscuit maker, suggested that perhaps the
cream Of tartar was too old, as she had had
it three or four years-ever since John Smith
failed in the drug business.
If recipes are faultlegs and measurements
accurate, it is very easy to be successful; but
as that is not always the case il may not be
amiss in this article to give some of the rea-
sons why failures occur and how to guard
against them. II cake is tough, II has too
much flour OF too little butter. If it falls,
there is too little flour or too much butter.
As a rule, the less flour one can use and not
have the cake fall, the moro delicate it will
be. II the cake does not rise in tho oven as
it should, there was not enough soda and
cream tartar or baking powder. Usually a
cake requiring one cup of milk will need one
teaspoonfu Of soda and nearly three times
as much cream tartar, unless a great many
eggs are used.
If the cake is too coarse-grained, the oven
was not hot enough, or thore was too little
cream tartar for the soda or too much baking
powder for the amount Of cake. If it is too
fine grained there was too much cream tartar
Eggs should not be beaten il q warm dish
or in a warm ROOM and they should not be
allowed to stand long after they are beaten.
For sponge cake and omelette it is well to use
q Dover egg-beater for tho whites until they
come to foam, and then beat them stiff with
a fork or thin, pliablo piece of a barrel
hoop. Soda should be thoroughly pulverized
on plate with a knife before measuring it,
and should be put into the flour with the
cream tartar and siftod twice. Batter should
| be cut in pieces about as largo AZ dice, aud
only lightly pressed together rs it is dropped
