JUDGMENT IN FARMING.
Why 1t Does Not Pay to Cultivate TOE
Many Acres.

Very large farming operations have
not, as rule, been successful. The
reason why success has not attended
these gigantic agricultural ventures
applies with force, according to the
size of the undertaking. to farming on
lesser scale. That is to say, that the
man who undertakes to till all he can
possibly manage fairly WE'LL with
weather favorable and team, tools and

fective work, and is overtaken during
the season by adverse weather, break.

hindrances common on every farm.
then he finds that his calculations are
at fault. He planned to do what could
have been well enough done if the
weather and other contingencies had
favored him. But he did not discount
as he should have done. The merchant

ventures. If the farmer will make
close estimates he may find that, tax.
ing the average of a number of years,
he has grown as much grain on twenty
acres of land as he formerly grew on
forty This is a thing possible to ac-
complish year by year, and the saving
secured through this mode is of course
very great. A forty-acre field of corn
may require to be gone through four
times in order that reasonably fair
treatment be given it, while circum-
stances render going through more than
twice quite out of the question, and by
this omission the crop is greatly cur
tailed. Now, the time consumed in 60
ing through forty acres twice, insures
thorough attention to twenty acres
four times, and on the suppositton that
the attention all through has been at
the same ratio it is quite possible for
twenty acres to give us as large yield

man can hardly have too much land il

vain for the old-time yield and, after
watching and waiting for q few years
for good crop, concludes that his land
is losing heart. If you have been till
ing or pretending to till too much land
and will put one-half into grass, ma.

other half, you will be quite likely to
conclude that the result is, after all,

spots on each side of the back; these
colors seem, to be acquired slowly, and
examples not fully matured often occur,
which are of nearly uniform yellow
ish brown color.
A single brood develops each year,
larvB occurring in the burrows from
July to late in September. The beetles
desert the crowns shortly before will
ter sets in to hibernate in the earth.
This species appears to feed exclusive
ly on strawberry plants.
The crown-borer is generally most
common en- old strawberry land, where
it has been known to ruin whole plant
ings. 1t is to be feared mainly because
from its small size and retiring habits,
growers generally have no practical
knowledge of it. Its injury may con-
sequently be accomplished before the
culprit is detected.
The beetles are incapable of fight,
having no functional wings, and care
thus dependent for locomotion on the
usual three pairs of legs. These they
use witt no great facility, and as the
grubs lack legs altogether, the species,
as may be supposed, does not migrate
readily from infested beds. There is
little danger of the borer getting
among plants on new land at dis
lance from infested beds as long as the
plants for new beds have not been OBJ
tanned from infested ones. G.ubs and
pupm spend all their lives in the crowns
of plants, being found there from the
midCle of June until late in September.
Plants removed from infested beds dur
ing this time are therefore liable to con-
vey the borcrs to localities to which such
plants may be transferred. Those who
have had experience with the borers
have found that care with regard to Sc
lecting plants and ground for new beds
was their best means for avoiding in
jury. No fear need be entertained OF
the .borers attacking seriously other
crops which may be grown on infested
land, and there is every probability
that one season in corn or potatoes
would rid land Of them. No practicable
method of using insecticides against
the crown-borer is known to me-

FARM AND FIELD.

THERE are many advocates of mulch
ing, and it is generally regarded as a
very necessary and profitable course.
One Of our contemporaries asserts,
however, that thorough cultivation is
better than mulching. Besides, it says
that in mulching there is danger from
fire in dry time, and also that the roots
run up toward the surface, which is al.
ways moist from the mulch.
FEEDING experiments by Fl. Weiske
with two sheep, in which the effect CT
nitrogen from vegetable sources (hay
and ground oats) was compared at sep
arate periods with that from an animal
source dried ground fish,, led to the
conclusion that the heterogeneous sub
stances Of ground fish were capable of
replacing like quantities Of albunoid
materials from vegetable sources.
FLAvoRINa butter with the odor of
fresh flowers is one of the arts of the
French peasantry. The process is very
simple, and consists of putting the
little prints, which have first been
wrapped in q thin cloth, into tight
porcelain dish on a bed of roses, or
whatever blossoms are chosen. Among
the flowers which give the most de-
sirable results are clover and nastur-
tiums.
T. B. TERRY says he depends on
slower to keep up his farm; that he
used to be too crazy after stable ma
nure, but little by little the wonders
that could be done with clover were
found out. His rotation is clover one

spring: potatoes the second year, fol-

blowing the ground.
As SOON as the corn fodder is cut il
should be carefully shocked and al

been exposed to the frost and all kinds
