From the Farm. Field and Stockman
Whatever may be the value of inv6 sti-
tions at the public experiment stations
of the several states instituting them,
they are no less valuable on the farm.
Experiment stations may demonstrate
geHerally, but each farmer to receive the
beet results of these experiments must
also investigate for himself.
Here is a case in point. An expert
ment station investigating the values of
perhaps twenty varieties of wheat, gives
the several values of these varieties in
that special climate and in that soil. 1t
does not follow that these varieties stated
to do best there will do so in another To-
cality even though the soil may be sim
liar so far as the farmer may be able to
Judge. But the probability is they will
do SO aside from the liability to freeze
out, rust, or the occurrence of other dis
ease. Experiments by the farmer may
easily decide this.
How to do this most economically it is
we'll to know. The cheapest and best
means we have found, where small pack
ages are received for experiment. is to
lay out the land selected into regular
plots, with spaces between for separation,
regular drills one foot or more apart. For
wheat or rye the seed may be dropped
four TO SIX inches apart, for barley some.
what thicker, and for oats, say three
inches apart. The plots may easily be
kept clean, and a careful record being
kept, fair determination of the several
values of the varieties may be arrived at.
But one seasons experiment does not
1 4 r,,II -.
obtained sufficient to SOW broadcast or to
drill by machine, cultivate in the ordi-
nary manner. Thus, in a few years, the
value of the variety may be fairly deter
mined, in accordance with varying sea
sons. In the meantime very little will
have been lost in conducting the expert
ments, and each farmer will have gotten
varieties best adapted to his climate and
situation.
In the same manner the farmer may
experiment in relation to the application
of fertilizers for special crops, or thick
or thin early or late seeding, or methods
of seeding, methods of cultivation, winter
protection, etc, etc. In examing var1e-
ties with view of forming an opinion as
to comparative values the habit, growth,
appearance of the plant and the grain
must be taken into careful consideration.
The time of seeding will also be a neces-
sary record, especially since earliness in
ripening is one of the most important
values in variety of grain. If these
points are carefully written down they
will form a most valuable record i'll de-
/ termining the actual value of grain or
plant after several years cultivation, un-
der which its average value one year
with another may be correctly estimated.

Varying Quality of Ashes.
Country Gentleman.

The inquiries which are often made as
to the value of wood ashes as fertilizer,
must always be answered conditionally.
A very different example of the difference
in their action occurred some years ago
in two pear tree nurseries. In one good
dressing of ashes doubled the growth. In
another in different region, instances
nearly rs striking, have occurred. This
difference may be ascribed TO two differ
ent causes. The composition of the soils
may vary, and on some the potash and
phosphoric acid in the ashes may be just
what is wanted; in others there may be
already sufficient supply, and the aPpli-
cation would be useless. Varying grades
would produce intermediate results.
The varying quality of the ashes would
also affect the product. The late valuable
report of the Maine Agricultural Expert
ment Station furnishes some interesting
Information under I'll head. Samples OF
ashes were gathered from various sources
mostly from different localities in Maine
and nineteen samples were Analysed.
The general result was that spruce and
pine ashes contain less than one-thlrd as
much potash as ashes from hard WOOD
and only ope-ffth rs much as from pure
birch wood. The latter gave three times
as much phosphoric acid as the former
but there was considerable variation II
each case. The following were the gen
eral summaries from the various analy
SEES:
The potash in 100 pounds of hardwood
uuleachcd ashes was nine and two-tenth'
pounds. and in softwood ashes three anc
sixty ye-hundredths pounds.
The phosphoric acid in 100 pounds 81
hard wood ashes was equivalent to nearl!
eight pounds of phosphate of lime' ana
in soft wood ashes TO only three pounds
Teaching removed from the ashes al
but about half pound in 100 of the sol
uble potash, or about one pound ana
half Of soluble and insoluble potash.
Ii viii be seen that the ashes from
different woods varies from three TO aN'
I times in value 1t must also be remem

Not the Answer She Expected.
Buffalo Courier.

Two ladies arrived in Buffalo last Sun
day on visit to some relatives, and one
tells the following amusing incident
which occurred while they were en- route
over the Niagara branch OF the Michigan
Central in which her companion was the
victim.
diminutive, dirty faced boy was en-
deavoring to please the passengers and
get a few pennies by singing comic
songs in the car. When he had finished
and was passing along the aisle with out
stretched palm, making his collection, the
lady said to him;
Don't you know it's wicked to sing
songs on Sunday
The youngster looked at her for sec
ond and with twinkle in his black eyes
replied:
Don't you think its wicked to travel
on Sunday"
The passengers roared and no more
questions were asked.

New England Farmer.

OF late years farmers have found it ex-
ceedingly difficult to get a satisfactory
seeding of clover after rye; those who
have succeeded in obtaining good
catch" are few and far between; hence
hundreds of bushels of clover seed are
annually thrown away; proving dead
loss to the farmer. Such a failure is
often perplexing and damaging. The
field must be Immediately cropped again
or some way devised for starting a new
sowing of clover, or else allow the land
to go seeded only with timothy.
In this section, at least, the custom of
sowing clover on rye ground in the
spring has oeen practiced so long and
universally that it has become fixed
rule, and one which until recently had
few or no exceptions. Some advocate
sowing early, while the ground is crack
ed by light freeze; others hold that the
best time for sowing is when the rye is
large enough to shade the ground and to
keep it moist; others still go over the
growing grain with light harrow and
thus cover the clover seed. All of these
methods may sometimes give good re-
suits, but on the other hand they often
prove utter failures, especially if the
early spring be dry.
One Of my neighbors, practical farm
er, has so far departed from the old rule
of spring sowing rs to SOW his clover in
in the fall, at the same time he sows his
rye, covering it with his feeder, or drill
tee same depth as the rye. Last year
he seeded part of fold in the fall and
the remainder of the same field in the
spring. The fall sowing grew thick and
strong; foot high and blossomed out
the first season, while that sowed in the
spring came up scattering, and seemed
almost year behind the other in point
of size. Other farmers in this vicinity
have adopted this plan OF fall sowing
and with uniformly good success.

Reports on the Onion Crop.
Country Gentleman.

The onion crop owing to smaller
acreage, dry weather and the maggot,
generally shows reduced yield from
last year. The onions, though not as
large, are in most cases, of better quality
than those harvested in 1885. Complaints
of the maggot appears to be pretty gen
eral, with very few suggestions of
remedy.
Special reports to the New England
Homestead, place the yield of the crol
in Maine at from POO to $50 bushels to
the acre, prices ranging at SOC to 81 per
bushel, with tendency, in many cases
to sell.
In some localities there have been no
pests, while in others maggots, wire
worms and frost have done considerable
damage. In the extreme northern part
of the State, the crop is an uncertain
one, the weather being so cold that the
hardest varieties are needed.
The yield in Massachusetts averages all
the way from $50 to 500 bushels to the
acre, according to quality of soil, culture
given, freedom from pests, etc. Prices
range at SOC. to 81 per bushel, the same
as in Maine, and on the whole, farmers are
quite free sellers at this figure. In some
nNStAOAi7' iunuj iudBBOtS anu DllBub dt lHt
tops did great damage, the maggots al
mos discouraging growers at Concord.
The quality of the crop is generally good.
In Connecticut the onions are smaller,
but of better quality than last year. Cut
worms and maggots were unusually prey
alent, half the crop in East Hartf. ID and
South Windsor having been plowed up on
account of their ravages. Frost also
caused considerable damage in some
places. AS yet sales are limited, and the
price varies from 75c. to 81 per bushel.
Only about 100000 bushels will be har-
vested this year from the great onion
fields of Orange County, N. Y, which
usually produce between 100000 and 600,-
600 bushels on the $500 to the 5000 bush
els planted, The new onion weevil which
proved SO destructive last year, and the
cut-worm are responsible for this, Grow
ers in most sections are disposed to hold
for late market, although sales at soc.
to 81. per hushel are reported. Frosts
and pests have spared the crop in a few
localities, and it shows larger average
yield than last year 500 bushels per acre
in Madison County against 400 in 1885.
In other sections the yield is not so
good, being from 200 to 500 bushels, con-
siderably less than in So. The quality is
on the whole, much better than then.
The crop in Michigan is about one
third short, and in Wisconsin, although
the quality is excellent, the yield is short
6215 per cent, owing principally to
drouth, while in Iowa the crop is almost
failure. The Ohio crop is very good.
