FALL FLOWING.


Every season tho old question concern
ing the advisability of free blowing is
agitated. Some argue that there is little
to be gained by the practice, the argu-
gumCuts being that Il growing crop like
grass or clover protects the surface from
loss of fertility by wind and rain in
winter and spring, and that unless the
land is again plowed in spring involving
additional labor, and the turning up Of
sods which should be kept ilat, the land
is in too heavy condition after being
beaten down by winter rain and melting
SHOWS for the best results to the grow
ing crop.
The more rational method, says Mas
sachusotts Plowman, seems TO be to
plOw sod land in spring, using a pillow
that will turn the sod fiat Then by the
use Of the disk harrow to cut up the sur
face to the depth Of three or four inches,
then 70 spread the manure or fertilizer
with one Of the patent manure spreadcrs
or by hand, and to work it into the land
by smoothing harrow that will not
tear up the sod nor gather the manure
into lunches. The land may then be
planted either to potatoes or corn and
the use of the smoothing harrow contin-
ued every live or aiN da}s until the crop
is eight or ten inches high, after which
a few good horse hocing5 will keep the
crop quite clean without the use Of the
hand hoe.
There are cases. however, continues

Condition of Leadin. Crops.

An official report from the department;
at Washington shows that the condition
of the present corn crop has been cqualed
only three times in ten years. The pres
ent average condition is 90. There has
been little reduction from frost in
northern New England, New York and
Michigan. There has been no decline in
the northwest, and the status of the
great corn surplus states remains as on
the LIST Of September. Bad weather in
the south has had slight effect in re-
ducing condition. Tho indications favor
a result ranging about twenty-siX bushels
to the acre, making fall average. The
condition of buchwhcat has declined
heavily from 937 last month to 79.1,
mainly from the effects Of frosts. In
New York the decline was from 81 to 20,
Pennsylvania from G6 20 G3, Michigan
from s. to -. The average condition Of
tho potato crop is about 81, decline Of
less than points. Tobacco has fully
maintained the condition Of last month,
averaging for all kinds 1873. The gen
eral average for winter wheat j. twelve
bushels an acre, and for spring wheat
slightly over ten bushels.

Just now turkeys are important birds;
attention is naturally drawn u them,
and many who have never kept them
begin to consider the question of do
ing so.
Varieties are the first point to he
= thought Of Among these the Narr3Gan-
sets, represented in the cut, are classcd
a. the most domestic. Favor is claimed
for them as strong and hardy stock, the
young turkeys being easily raised and
not subject to as largo a percentage of
loss in the early stages of raising as are
many breeds. They are commonly de-
sCrbed as gray III color.
The Bronze are also favOrite kind,
being said to grow moro rapidly, fatten
more quickly and weigh more than any
others.
Turkeys are fully grown at from three
to four years, but the young birds begin
to lay earlier in the season and lay more
eggs than the old ones, besides being less
savage.
As the time is drawing near when our
uctiDn2l bird will be in demand for pur-
poses Of family festivities and thankful
ness it will soon be in order for farmers
to put the fowls TO be used OF sold for this
purpose into proper condition. No
matter whether at present fat or lean,
turkeys ought to be confined for a few
days previous to killing in limited quar-
ters and receive plenty of good, whole
some food and pure water, and not be
left TO forage for themselves on whatever
they can find, whether clean OF unclcan.
The effect Of such a change Of diet for
Il few days, or weeks if Il longer time is
required to put on the right amount OF
flesh aad fat, will be juicy and well
