some PoIn.s for sIIare.

At recent agricultural meeting in England
a speaker said: I'm the beginning Of the
year 1884 there were only about 800 silos in
England, Scotland and Wales last year there
were as many agsin-nsmely, about 1900, and
the beginning Of this year there were over
2O00, as well as a large number of silsge
stacks, so l think that oonclusively proves
there must be something gained from the use
of ensilage, or so many would not go to the
expense of making silos. One of the great.
est features, in my opinion, in favor of silage,
is that we are almost entirely independent of
the weather when making II, whereas we can
not make good hay unless the sun shines on
1t. Ii we were always sure OF having such
weather as we had last year for our hay max.
ing, l should say do not go the expense of
erecting silos but where we get one such sea
son as that we have, perhaps, ten in which
we cannot insure making all our hay good.
So l think that the best way is to be prepared,
in case of stormy season. to preserve part
OF our grass clover, ETC., intended for hay in
some other way, if possible, and this can be
done by making it into silage. II we make
part into silage and part into hay we might
make the former when the weather is unset
tied and the latter in fine weather. We all
know that it costs about twice as much to
make bad hay in stormy weather as it does
good hay in settled fine weather, at least that
has been my experience but storm or two
does not appear to do much harm to silage.
1t has been computed that there is about four
times as much weight per acre of fodder when
made into silage, if it il csrted directly it il
cut, as there is in hay dried and made in the
ordinary way, 80 on an acre of land that
would produce 30 cwt. OF hay per acre we
should get six tons of silsge; as some people
contend, there must be large saving OF fodder
in favor of silage compared with hay.

TO start in with more than IL or 20 hens, for

quently lose q part OF his flock. II he sue

at all events do not put in more than you can
afford to lose, unless the experiment be very
promising one. As to feeding, one should
observe very carefully in what manner differ
ent diets affect his breed as regards eggs, and
select the one which seems best. Since many
OF the foods have equal properties for pro-
ducing eggs, the one should be selected that
can be obtained the cheapest. do not wish
by any means to imply by this that the food
should be chosen which costs the least such
as damaged grains, but that the food given
should be something the poultryman raises
or which can be got cheaper than some other
variety OF no greater value. 1t ia conceded
by all that meat and bones are indispensable
for poultry, and think the cheapest way TO
provide these is to buy beef creatures head
OF a neighboring butcher. This costs but
trihing sum, and chopped aud given each
morning, will prove very beneficial to the

Forestry.

l have little fear that the woodman's az will
destroy all of our forests, however active it
may be. Timber will grow IL we give it
half chance. To show what it will do il

Top Farm" owned by A. F. Lawrence
(where resde), one mile west of the village
of st. Johnsbury, VT, is few acres of up
land that seventy eight years ago was cut,
burned over and planted to corn among the
logs, Indian fashion, that grew fair crop.
1t was left to itself, grew up again to wood,
was thinned out several times and has now
200 maple trees to the acre, the most of them
having been used for a sugar orchard for
twenty three years. II is the most valuable
land on the farm. This shows what our
rocky hillsides will do II left to themselves.
Another example: Vermont some twenty
years ago prohibited cattle running 1T large
in the highway. The roadsides have grown
up to wood, and such has been its growth
that the last legislature required the mana
gers to cut space ten feet each side of the
travelled track and remove all overhanging
branches that INSTRUCTED travel. The best
cultivated fields will soon become covered
with wood If left to themselves. -JOndthdn
Laurence, IN Mirror and Farmer.
The law to which the correspondent refers
makes it the duty of highway surveyors to
cause all trees and brush excepting shade or
fruit trees) to be cut and removed for the
space OF eight .Jeet-instead of ten feet as
stated-from the centre line on each side of
the highway.

Raspberrx Planting.

The first need of the raspberry is we'll.
drained but not very dry, light soil. Yet
such is its adaptability that certain varieties
can be grown on any land which will produce
a burdock or a MULLEN stalk. In fact, this
question of variety chiefly determines our
chances of success and the nature Of our
treatment of the fruit The reader, at the
start should be enabled to distinguish the
three classes of raspberries grown in this
country.
As was true of grapes, our fathers first en-
deavored to supply their gardens from for
eign nurseries, neglecting the wild species
with which our woods and road sides abound
ed. The raspberry of Europe (RUbus idguS)
has been developed, and In many instances
enfeebled, by ages Of cultivation. Neverlhe-
less, few other fruits have shown equal power
to adapt themselves to our soil and climate,
and we have obtained from foreign sources
many valuable kinds, as, for instance, the
Antwerp, which for weeks together annually
taxed the carrying power of Hudson river
steamers. In quality these foreign kinds
have never been surpassed, but almost inva-
riAbly they have proved tender and fastidious,
thriving we'll in some localities, and failing
utterly Except under the most skillfu care)
in others. The frost OF the north killed
them in winter and southern sun shriveled
their foliage in summer Therefore they
were not raspberries for the million, but for
those who resided in favored regions, and
were willing to bestow upon them much care
and high culture.
Eventually another process began, taking
place either by chance or under the skillful
manipulation of the gardener-that of by
bridizing, or crossing these foreign varieties
with our harder native species. The best re-
suits have been attained more frequently,
think, by chance that Is, the bees, which
get more honey from the raspberry than from
most other plants, carried the pollen from a
native flower TO the blossom of the garden ex
otto The seeds of the fruit eventually pro-

Some one estimates that nearly one half of
the producers of farm products get an aver
age of ten per cent less for what they raise
than they would II sufficient attention we're
given to the business of selling As to what
proportion lose in this way there is no means
of knowing, but we believe the ten per cent
loss is an underestimate. great many peo-
pie sell their grain, and their live stock, and
their hay, and their wool, for a little less than
they could if the matter of selling were more
thoroughly studied but the greater losses
come in the handling Of what are usually con-
sidered the lesser farm products. The time
OF selling Is a most important consideration,
and in the products enumerated ia perhaps az
great as any other. The farmer needs to ascer-
tain several things and change his policy and
methods from time TO time to suit them. l,
In what form will my product best please the
consumer? 2, How can l get it to him in the
freshest and best condition ? 3, How can
lessen the expense Of transportation between
us 4, How can most directly reach him,
without the Intervention Of too many others
to share my profits 8, How can l best be-
come known myself as prompt and careful
shipper of a choice article of my own pro-
duotion2 6, What does my market most
need that can furnish it, and where can
find the best market for all have to sell ?
Other points will suggest themselves to the
thoughtful reader as bearing on the subject
of selling, all OF which directly and very
largely affect the returns of the disposal OF
farm products. To nothing can study be
more profitably devoted, and in nothing is it
more needed. II you have never given this
side Of your business the attention II deserved
lose no time in making good the omission.

Thn CnI,I,nre Worm.

II is now hardly more possible to raise good
cabbages without destroying the cabbage
worm, than to raise good potatoes without
destroying the potato bug. Twenty years ago
we had neither potato bugs nor cabbage
worms. There is possibility that twenty
years hence we may again have neither OF
these, and that some new insect plague may
in the meantime appear
This is the season when the cabbage worm
is mo 1t active, and II no means are used to
destroy it, it will be likely to spoil the cab
bages This worm, it is well known, is the
larva OF a small white butterfly, which depos-
its its eggs on the leaves OF the cabbage, usu-
ally on the under side. The eggs may be
found, though not always easily, and picking
them is a good remedy. The butterflies are
not very quick, and they may be caught with
out difficulty and killed. They may be easily
taken with sweetened water If a correspond
ent of the Rural New Yorker, L. H. Spear Of
Braintree has not mistaken the species. He
says
For years my cabbages were spoiled by
worms Last season, 'S5, when the pests
made their appearance, l put among the
young cabbages broad-mouthed fruit jar
partly filled with sugar and water The mil
lers went into the bottle, so that in "a hours
l25 were caught. I killed, perhaps, dozen
worms which had got on the plants before
put the bottle there, but scarcely one after
that. l had good, clean cabbages for the
first time for years. This season my bottles
are in the garden getting filed with millers
aud wasps and my oabbages are clean"
The first butterflies appear quite early, and
q second brood are ready to deposit eggs be-
fore the middle of the summer. 1t is proba-
BILE they may be found at all times during the
summer season.
A hundred things have been recommended
to kill cabbage worms. The Ohio expert
ment station has tested large number oil
remedies, including lime water, tar water,
copperss solution, whale oil soap, brine, pow
dered tansy, tobacco water, kerosene emul
sion, ashes, white hellebore, solution Of salt

Respectable agricultural journals have &C
tuslly advised the use of Paris green or Lon
don purple to kill cabbage worms, but any
one who would sift either of these over cab
bage heads ought to be sent either to prison
or to an asylum for the insane or idiotc.
Cayenne pepper is a clean and harmless
remedy, and sufficient, we believe, if careful

The oleomargarine bill happily escaped
death by the hands Of its over-zealous friends.
The majority on its final passage was larger
than we had reason to expect after all the
foolish talk about II and the extreme meas
ures advocated by those who cared more to
make capital out of it, from the farmers, than
for the fate Of the bill. We should like to
know exactly how many FIVE dollars Joseph
II. Real collected from the farmers to help
the cause and save them from utter ruin, and
how many of them were used to pay for his
personal services. There are 1000, 900 farm
ers of adult age in the United States, and If
one in thousand responded to his frantic
appeal to them to send him Eve dollars to
help pass the bogus butter bill, he got 500

There are but few pastures that will carry
a herd of COWS through the summer and keep
up the flow of milk without feeding them at
the barn. There are portions OF the season
In New England when the sun ia so hot and
the winds are 80 dry that a large portion Of
the pastures become pRfcht Il and fail to pro
duce sufficient young grass to supply the
wants of as many COWS ss are usually assign
ed to pasture on this account, unless the
farmer makes some provision to feed his cows
at the barn night and morning. the flow Of
milk will be very much reduced, and the COW 8
will lose in flesh Thus they come to the
barn in the autumn light in weight, with the
flow OF milk reduced ut least one third below
what II should be. To avoid this, farmers
who are abreast of the times will be prepared
to feed their cows as soon az the feed in the
pastures begins to fall of
II is no wonder to us that men Of great
minds have loved the country, have enjoyed
farm work, and this, too, not az a sentiment,
but as a reality. Washington was a type OF
the true farmer, and called agriculture the
most useful, most noble, most healthful en-
ployment OF man. Jefferson gave much time
and study to evolving the true philosophical
principles employed in constructing the pillow,
and when built he took great pleasure in
handling II, and in managing his farm at Mon
ticello. Webster declared he felt more pleas
ure in holding his own pillow, drawn by his
own splendid oxen-about which he wrote
such grand letters to his head farmer, John
Taylor-on the plains at Marsbield, than in
