Prof. Shelton writes to the New York
Tribune a letter full of interesting but ex-
pensive experience in purchasing manufac-
tured articles. He says that it is almost
impossible to obtain the smaller implements
such AS hoes, scythes. forks, axes, etc, in
good quality. For this state of things he
blames the manufacturer, but still more
severely the farmers for not rising in their
might and refusing to purchase at any price
the inferior articles offered them. He says
II could extend to a great length the list
of things which show the faithlessness Of
manufacturers. 1t would almost seem that
with all the recent wonderful improve
ments in mechanical appliances the things
which we use much become constantly poor
er in quality; the race for Improvement
seems often to have degenerated into vul-
gar chase after the cheap and nasty.
wish, in conclusion, to enforce the thought
that farmers and consumers in general are
responsible for the bad wares that flood our
markets. | find for instance, that the
goods kept in stores for sale to farmers are
of such quality as to be quite unstable to
townspeople. 1t was my fortune, not long
since, to have a business interest in a far
mers' store. All my efforts looking to i'm
provement in the quality of the goods sold
met the unyielding opposition of the man
ager aud clerks, who declared that only
goods of inferior quality-cheap package
coffee, adulterated teas, low grade sugar,
and that unspeakable mixture which, with
various aliases, goes under the head of
cheap molasses-could be sold to farmers.
If farmers demand them, they will not only
| get good goods, but cheap ones If the far
mer will honestly report at the grange and
club the brand of goods which his expert
ence has proved to be fraudulent or decep-
/ tive, the merchant is very certain to catch
on Merchants keep black list for mu-
tual protection against swindlers Why
not farmers keep a black list of those mer-
chants and manufacturers who make and
deal in poor, fraudulent wares!

Isaac Houston of Claremont, ~ H., asks
if the honey locust makes good hedge,
and if it is injurious to the soil near it, 1t
makes a very strong and savage hedge
where it will stand the climate, but it re-
quires rich soil and helps itself freely to
the fertility of it for some distance on each
side. Being naturally quite u large tree, it
must be cut vigorously yet cautiously. Not
all the seedlings are thorny, and it is there
fore best to let them grow where the seed
is planted until their character in this re
spect, and also as to vigor, may be seen.
-FermOnteT.
There are two kinds of honey locust trees
found in the New England states, and each
kind has several varieties One of the va
rieties is nearly destitute of thorns. These
trees are said TO be natives of the western
slope of the Alleghanies. If so, two or
more of the species have become abundant
ly naturazed in New England Each kind
is called by the same common names as
honey locust, black locust, and sometimes
yellow locust. The species which is most
common in this locality has plenty of sharp,
strong thorns, though they are not as long
the thorns of GiedtSchiu ti'iacdnthuS
which is the botanic name of the locust
which has been recommended and used to
some extent as hedge tree Our common
locust tree is probably RObinia PSeudacdciu
of the botansts. 1t fourishes i'm the river
valleys and in warm situations in the south
ern part of Vermont, and spreads rapidly
whenever it gets foothold in such loca-
tions. The roots are numerous and extend
to a great distance, throwing up shoots
which soon become trees. We can see
from the place where we write a locust tree
that has grown TO a height Of more than 80
feet within the last 10 years. This species
grows vigorously in warm, sandy soils,
which may be far from rich. 1t is also FIRE
quently seen growing in dry, rocky places.
Other fencing material being cheap, hedges
are seldom used in this section except for
ornamental purposes but the locust multi
plies so fast and grows so rapidly here that
there would seem to be no difficulty in max
ing hedge of it that would be ornamental
and at the same time useful as fence.
In the Iowa state agricultural report for
1870 Mr., j, l.. Budd says that he considers
the honey locust (GicditSchia tridcaAthus)
the best plant that can be found for field
hedges in that state. 1T is perfectly har-
dy, and in six years will formssa hedge i'm
penetrable by man or beast and it -four
ishes equally well in Maine, Wisconsin,
Iowa and New Jersey" There was then,
Mr.. Budd said hedge of honey locust at
Elizabethtown, N. j., one mile in length;
all its parts had been subject TO annual
pruning it had maintained perfect health
and beauty for 40 years, and it had been
pronounced by competent judges to be one
of the finest hedges in the United States.
If any of our readers have tried making
hedge of honey locust, or have any knowl-
edge of its being used as hedge, we should
be pleased 10 hear from them.

G. I. Alvord Of Wilmington answers the
inquiry, How large a quantity Of rutabagas
can be fed to animals daily with safety p
in the American Cultivator For nearly
30 years, he says have raised rutabagas
to feed to farm stock, and have fed them
raw to cattle and sheep Of all ages. have
also fed them cooked to hogs. When l
have plenty Of them, feed fattening cat
tie and sheep all they will eat up clean ;
also in similar quantities to sheep giving
milk. If a large quantity of rutabagas be
given 10 cows giving milk, an unpleasant
flavor will be impaired to the milk and but
ter. The rutabaga will not bloat or scour
cattle or sheep like potatoes, and, have
never had an animal injured by eating all
that gave him. When fattening cattle or
sheep on rutabagas, feed them night and
morning. If fed in connection with meal
or grain feed the rutabagas at one time il
the day if in the morning, the grain or
meal at night My experience has been
that more benefit is derived from feeding
roots and grain together than in feeding
each exclusively by itself. When roots are
fed to animals kept on dry hay and grain,
they do not require as much water as when
no roots are fed. If the animals are fed
all the roots they viii eat but little if any
water will be drunk by them. If the ruta-
bagas are cut fine, young calves and lambs
will learn to eat them as soon as they will
learn to eat hay.

Many thousands Of young trees are an
nually DESTROYED by the common round
headed apple-tree borer, Sdperi0 birittdtd,
of the orchradists, and yet this great loss
is all due TO negligence. The best time to
cut out the grubs is in the fall, for at this
season those Matched in spring or early
summer have not penetrated 10 any con
siderable depth into the solid wood, and are
therefore readily found and destroyed. To
prevent the beetles depositing their eggs in
the bark of the trees, it is only necessary
to wrap the base Of the stems with strips
of bass bark tar paper, cloth, or even
common brown paper, after which the out
side should be painted with gas tar applied
while hot. The wrappings should extend
down two or three inches below the sur
face Of the soil, and extend up the stem
for a foot or more. 4 few hours work
given to wrapping the trees with some such
materials as these named will usually pre-
vent loss from the attacks Of the borers.
The trees, however, should be examined ev-
cry spring after removing the wrappngs,
for the purpose of destroying any grubs
that have found Judgment in the tree, at
ter which the old wrappngs should be re
placed or new ones provided. Washing
the stems of trees with soft soap at the
time the beetles are about and laying their
eggs is often recommended, and while it
must be admitted that such applications
are beneficial in destroying the recently de
posted eggs and repelling the beetles, still,
they are soon washed off by rains, and are
but temporary in Effect. $. Fuiier III
lmericdH AgricuituriSt for Februd,H
The round headed borer is one Of the
most destructive enemies of the apple tree
that we have to contend with in this neigh
borhood. We have seen a considerable
number of trees that have been killed by
them, and many more SO badly injured that
they might as well have been killed out
right We have taken, in the fall, nine
| young grubs of that seasons growth from
/ the trunk of a tree only about three inches
in diameter. These were enough to have
/ killed the tree if they had been allowed to
remain. Where they have made a begin
ming others are pretty sure to follow, and
| it is not always a very easy thing to de
| stroy them all. If our little tree is saved
| it will have to he closely looked after
| When the borers have not penetrated the
wool too deep they may sometimes be de
stroyed by running wire into their holes
which is very simple remedy when it will
work, but their paths are frequently so
tortuous and deep that the wire fails to
/ reach them.

The Boston Transcript says that three

grey wolves cut out a COW and calf and
pitched upon them. The COW beloved, and
at once with rush the herd gathered and
drove away the wolves The latter soon
discovered another COW and calf and mad,
a rush for Them and, in spite of the frantic
efforts Of the mother, got the calf down
but again the herd came to the rescue, and
this time chased the wolves until they gave
up the contest and disappeared
The best thoroughbred stock is now in
this country. Formerly Europe, and espe
cially England, supplied us with our choic

Our Jerseys yield more butter than the
cows Of the Channel Islands our swine pro
duce more meat at the same age, and the
heaviest heeces of wool have been shearet

1t should be the aim to increase the yield
of the crops every year. There should be
no average yield ON farm, but the far
mer must keep up the fertility so as to Sc
cure more. When the yield increases, the
value Of the manure is also increased. ToC
much manure or fertilizer cannot be applied
on land that does not increase its yield Of

Rn,h side. of ,he En.iInrc One.rion

We have aimed to give both sides of the
silo question, not being able to decide upon
its merits except through the testimony of
others, or, in other words, not having had
personal experience in feeding ensilage.
There appears to be two sides to the ques-
ton, even among those who have built ST
los. Of late this fruitful topic of agricultu-
raj writer's has had a comparative rest, but
opinions as to the value of ensilage still diff
fer The American Cultivator, which, in
its editorial columns has always been
strong advocate of the silo, says:
Western darymen are taking the lead
over their Eastern brethren in adopting the
ensilage system Of feeding in connection
with liberal grain rations. In the state of
Wisconsin about 2OOO sios will be built the
coming season Those who dislike ensilage
and silos most are generally those who know
nothing about them from their own expert
ence.'
On the other hand, the Pittsburg Nation
al Stockman inquiries, over the following
extracts sent by correspondent, Has the
Ensilage Boom Collapsed -;
j. NJ Harrison of Harrison county, O.,
writes The Canada Farmers Advocate
says that the ensilage boom is still green in
our memories, but now no agricultural au-
thority of distinction has a kind word for
ensilage 1t says the silos of the country
are being rapidly turned into receptacles
for roots and other farm products"
The Germantown Telegraph saws that
there is much less said ON the subject of en-
silage than was the case a few years ago
1t also says: I'VE have never been CON
WINGED that the making into ensilage added
a single particle to the elements of animal
nutrition that the fodder employed con
tanned when cut for use, or that it did not
contain when cured by drying"
Prof. Alvord, in recent speech before
the Massachusetts state board of agricul-
ture, stated that the claims of its the silos |
most enthusiastic supporters had not been
and never could be realized. His opinion
frankly stated was that the preservation of
any kind of green fodder in silos added
nothing to its feeding value The opinion
seems to be gaining ground that an excess
of water or moisture in food impairs diges-
ton, because the gastric juice is diluted and
weakened so as 10 be much less active and
efficient in its work
Our silo advocates, with one or two ex-
ceptions, are painfully silent this winter.
Those of us who read both sides would like
to have some of the owners of silos give us
an account of their failures, and tell us
why so many silos are being abandoned. 1t
seems that much valuable time and money
have been fooled away, something after the
manner of starting a nursery by planting
dried apples.

Experiments in sugar Manufacture.

The experiments in sugar manufacture
and sugar-cane growing in Kansas the past
year are considered quite satisfactory. The
experimental station at Fort Scott used
3S40 tons of cane grown on $50 acres of
land and produced 235, 726 pounds of sugaf
and 81, 600 gallons of strip, and cleared a
net profit of Sl3, 300 S47l6 of which went
to the cane growers as a state bounty of
two cents a pound on the sugar extracted
The farmers obtained for their cane - a
ton delivered at the mill, and raised an
average crop of 81 tons to the acre, which
proved better investment than either corn
or wheat. 1t is possible, perhaps, to also
improve the quality of the sorghum cane
But the cane is bulky and cannot be hauled
much over three miles at a profit 1t is
proposed to establish sirup mills in the cane
growing districts but these will cost from
one-half to two-thirds as much as the cen
trial works.
