THE Farm.
FARM MISCELLANY.

The oat crop Of the past season in
the United States is estimated at $780,
600 900 bushels, which is the largest
ever grown in single season, and
shows an average of twenty-seven bush
ele per acre. The lowest yield of any
state is seven bushels per acre, in South
Carolina.
IL, AS winter approaches, mice are al
most sure to infest the hives if openings
sufficient are feft for their entrance
Wax is a non.conductor of heat, and
besides enjoying the heat generated by
the bees, which answers the purpose to
them of a base-burner the honey and
beebread furnish food, and the comb
fioe bedding Care should be taken
that no entrance is left large enough
for the mice to enter, else much of the
comb and honey may be destroyed.
The average yield of wheat in Great
Britain is slowly increasing, the pres
emit being 20 bushels, or about p times
that of the United States, which is es.
timated at l3 bushels per acre. The
area devoted to wheat growing in Great
Britain this year was 2,47s,318 acres.
What our farmers want is more ac-
res in clover and fewer acres in wheat,
to bring up their average. This means
richer farms; more money for less labor.

rolting on the soil the stubble of clover
alone, cannot possibly equal in value
the stubble aud the whole amount of
tops. 1t must contain all the elements
of fertility before it is taken off of the
ground to be ted. The great fact is
overlooked, that when plowed under,
heavy growth of green stuff is liable to
sour and ferment, which, while this
process is going on will iDjure crops
that are planted in the land. But in
place Of cutting and removing the crop
t. feed out to stock, suppose it Is cut
and allowed to dry on the surface, the
leaves which are credited with such
beneficial qualities, that fall from the
dead second or seed crop, and their
stems to lie on the surface, adding their
manurial constituents to the soil, and
also forming mulch, which adds no
less towards tertlizing it, than the de-
caying plants which are incorporated
with it. Third, when ii heavy coat of
green stuff is turned under it is mostly
left undisturbed in solid mass, till the
slow process of decay consumes it, for
W mt Of proper implements to stir aud
i corporate it with the soil, and thus
prevent a heavy mass of green vege-
table matter, fermenting and souring
in contact with it. The Professors
facts are certainly not facts. but asser
tions that will not stand an intelligent
test. The stubble cannot be eqnal to
the whole crop Cor even better as the
Professor asserts) of stubble, tops and
roots. IF green crops are plowed under
the work should be done early in the
season when the weather is hot, in or
der that decomposition may be we'll ad-
vanced before wheat seeding is COM
menced, but if the clover or other
green manure is cut and allowed to de-
compose on the surface more immediate
and future benefit will be derived from
it, to both soil and crops.

Glover as q Manure.

Prof. j. W. Beal of the Michigan
Agricultural College, in discussing clo-
YER as manure, says:
Glover seed is the best manure q
farmer can use. All plants draw much
Of their food from the atmosphere, and
efEhose used in agriculture, none are
exceeded by clover in the large proper
Con Of nutriment thus derived
~ To keep up the fertility Of our soil
We must restore to it phosphoric acid,
Rotash, nitrogen, and other substances
@oand in farm crops. Of the three
very important and valuable substances
ixst named, nitrogen is the most prec-
!, ioas and costly to obtain. In vari-
Gus places there are abundant supplies
e potash and phosphoric acid. Agri-
cultural chemists are now studying on
Inc problem Of the future supply Of HI
sEyegen for agricultural purposes. So
!, Oar, clover seems to be the most impor-

=" whole crops Of clover are often

Fertility of the soil, but I am safe in
.aMaying that it has been proven better
smEactice to cut off the clover, feed it and
use the manure, than to pillow under the

'Reisons, al Of which may not seem plain,
- has been shown that blowing under
cwclover stubble is followed by about as
good results (oftsn better) as though
1hs whole crop was turned under.
We differ very decidedly with che

&es, regarding clover and It's results on
Ne soil. 1t has mot ''been shown and
@snnot, that the land derives more ben.
81 from blowing under clover stuble,
0AAn from plOwing under the whole

Plant Orchards.

At the present rate of destruction to
our orchards it will only be few years
until the apple, now so plentiful, will
be classed among the luxuries. The
great orchards in Central Illinois are
rapidly going to decay, and in some
parts of Iowa and Minnesota the farm
ers are cutting down the trees and avow
their intention to quit trying to raise
apples. 1t is stated that during the
past twenty-five years the apple trees
were winter killed three time, eight
years apart each time, which has dis.
couraged the cultivation Of apples in
those states. The pear tree is also a
sufferer from the severe winters of the
past two years, 80 per cent of them
being killed.-Ansericam Farmer.
rive are not afflicted with winter kill.
ing in Maryland, but while abundance
of apples can be grown here, owing to
our longer and warmer summers, the
late fruit is not quite equal to northern
grown. Many Of the best winter apples
Of the northern states are fall apples in
Maryland. An orchard of fall apples
might be made very profitable crop in
our latitude, since dryers and drying
have been brought to such perfection.
In the dry, pleasant fall weather is an
admirable season for preparing and
evsporating fruit, and our fall apples
are superior in favor for this purpose.
No apples could be more inviting as
evaporated fruit than our Vandever,
Rambo, Cheese apple and others that
attain perfection in the tall months.
And the fall varieties are generally
prolific bearers.
There are also several 6ne keepers
well suited to this latitude such as the
golden russsts aud green pipins. The
main reason for Improbable results from
our Orchards has been neglect and star
walton. The apple orchard has beer
allowed TO take care of itself. Work
for nothing and board itself, has been
the principle on which our orchards
have mostly been run. That practice
will not pay with any crop. And the
better care and intelligent management
