The Farm.
FARM MISCELLANY.

Notes From Purdy's Fruit Recorder.
The Strawberry called "Wonderful,"
ia the same as the Windsor Chief.
Tomatoes, cabtages and celery for
early use, can be started in the house in
pans or boxes.
To prevent crotched trees from split
ting, twist and fasten two small limbs
together, and as the stems grow it will
prevent splitting. The mulberry is apt
TO split and this will prevent it.
Remember to have the Strawberry
beds well covered with hay, straw
leaves or crushed sugar cane before
freezing and thawing begin; which is
che cause of the ground 'heaving" and
destroying the plants.
Be on your guard against those tree
agents who are selling "Russian" apples
"borer.proof' and "bllght-poof trees

Cattlemen say that there are plenty
of matured cattle in the country, but
that the large corn crop and low prices
at which grain can be bought is Undue
ing feeders to stall more than ever be-
fore; hence, instead of sending the
steers that are in moderate flesh, they
will be fed for the winter and spring
market. Large numbers are also being
collected in the far western ranges and
driven to Kansas, Nebraska and West
ern Iowa, there to be fattened for market.
The supply of fine beef for the winter
and next spring is expected to be very
large.

that half dozen dairy farmers met to,
gether, to consult how to better their
business, and determined to take the
first step by purchasing bull of this
milk breed of cattle From that small
beginning this famous herd has sprung
This venture proved successful bust
ness that a half dozen of our farmers
might proftably initiate. There is no
more favorable section of country for
forming one of the best stock farms in
the whole county, than the upper part
of Cecil County. No better grazing
hay and corn lands can be found in the
Atlantic States than the rolling lands
which overlook the Susquehanna, Octo-
raro and their tributaries. The pures,
Of soft, spring water, and the sweetest
pasture grasses abound in all this region
of gray stone lands, embracing the 9th
7th, 9Th and 9th districts.
Stock breeding is in its infancy--and
scarcely that far advanced--in the
Eastern Middle States, while west Of
the Mississippi, you will rarely meet
with a genuine scrub. There beef is
the grand object OF the cattle breeder
and feeder, and seldom we meet with
anv other cattle than the Short Horns
and Herfords. Here there is an unoccu-
pied field for the stock breeder within 3
hours travel Of Philadelphia and Bal
timore where there is an ever increas-
ing consumption of, and demand for,
dairy products and veal calves, aud for
quality and quantity combined, NO cat
tie seem to fill the bill like Holsteins.
Iowa is a great dairy State, and there
the Holstein cattle are crowding all
Others out. The agricultural papers of
that section are filled with advertise
ments of this breed of cattle. The de
mand for improved dairy stock will be
ever on the increase. Creameries are
springing up in every neighborhood
where ever a race of good dairy COWS
are kept, and pure bred stock is always
short of the demand for it in the West
Where ever stock farms have been es.
tablished and managed by practical
stock men, who used economy, know
ledge and skill, they have been prosper
Gus and profitable, with steady de-
mand at large prices for their stock
Where dairy and stock farming have
been established the land is increased
in fertility and the owners in wealth
and prosperity, more grain is raised to
the acre on such farms, than on grain
farms, and other produce in proportion.
Grass is the farmers sheet anchor, and
bank that will always honor his
drafts.

MOrtieultWreo
It Don't Pay.

Chow long has the Crescent Seeding
strawberry been out? There are parties
in this section claiming that it has just
been introduced, and are selling them at
SO so and $500 per dozen. Your cat
alogue quotes them at 20 cents per doz.,
of which I informed them Their reply
was "They were either not true, or,
you would not send them"
GIf these "agents" had their just des-
erts, they would be cutting stone behind
your state prison bars. The Crescent
has been disseminated some 7 to 8 years
or more. Some farmers who do not
take the papers, get bit enough by such
rascals in one purchase to pay for the
Recorder 20 years."
The above is clipped from Purdy's
Fruit Recorder, and is clever answer
to some farmers-a good many-who
say people who write about farming
don't know. Want of information is
the hardest thing to combat that we
know of. An intelligent man can be
readily taught anything about his bust
ness that he dosen't happen to know;
but an ignorant man who knows just
enough to hammer away at his occupa-
ton, is about the hardest case that can
be found to impart information to. But
he is the fairest game for the sharpers.

LOOKING FOR LOST TREASURE.
Spectators in tho HussAr Wreck Suing
for the Money Invested

NEWARK, Jan. l5.-An interesting case
came up before Master in Chancery See in
this city to-day. 1t is especially interest
ing because Of the revolutionary remin-
iscences 1t recalls. The suit is in rela-
ton TO the raising Of sunken treasure. In
1850 the British frigate Hussar came over
from ENGLAND with $500, 600 on board to
be used in paving the army then in this
country. The frigate struck on rock
near Hell Gate and went to the bottom,
and the treasure has remained there ever
since
The complaint, which is made by Joseph
+. flartshOrn, OF Providence, Il. l., on be-
half Of himself and others, SAYS that on
May 81, 1880, George W Thomas, the de
fenGant. obtained from the government
authority to search for certain treasure
supposed to have been sunk near Port
Morris. the government agreeing to give
him 80 per cent. Of the recovery. Shares
were sold TO various people with view
Of recumuense in the ultimate division of
the treasure. HartshOrn loaned several
thousand dollars on the prospect, and
claims that the defendant said he had
actual possession of the treasure. Mr..
Thomas and his wife Amelia admit the
contract with the United States, but say
the complainant has only contingent
right ia the property when recovered. As
it has not yet been recovered, there is
nothing vet due.
