The Life of the Leather.

"There is harness and harness, but
one would be surprised if he knew
what a difference there is in the lasting
qualities" So spoke f. p. Beardsley,
chief of the Bridgeport, Conn, fire de-
partment, and man of long expert
ence with leather and harness before
entering the public service. He is con-
WINGED that the most expensive harness
is not always most serviceable, aud
that harness oils have much to do with
the destruction or preservation of har-
ness. He has experimental for years
with different oils on separate sets of
harness made of first quality leather.
Nothing has proved TO be so great a
preservative as pure castor oil, at the
same time keeping the leather silky and
supple. This is because the oil does
not soak into the leather nor permit
water to do so, and thus conserves its
natural condition-the life" of the
leather. AS a preservative next in
value comes castor and neatsfoot oils
half and half, mixed. The objection
to pure neatsfoot oil, lard oils and
others of like oleaginous character is
that they are too penetrating. They
permeate the leather, destroy its nat.
ural condition, and so rot and weaken
it that it permits entrance of sweat and
rain, which soon crack it and complete
the destruction.

IT is impossible to prevent cough

any sudden change of the temperature

THE condensed milk factories of
Maine are starting off finely. Large
investments of capital have been made,
and many doubts regarding success
have been expressed, But, so far, all
is encouraging. A writer in the Maine
Farmer says: "In placing our milk
product on the market we have encoun-
tered the usual difficulties to be over

In this connection | would state that
one idea that was laughable, yet a
stumbling block, was the fact that our
Maine milk was tinted, or cream color,
while New York milk was white. The
fact was that the farmers who had been
furnishing milk for factory for quar-
ter of a century catered to heavy
milking breeds of cows, such as the
Holsteins and Durhams, without re-
gard to quality. Our Maine milk, taken
from Jerseys and other butter breeds
was gold color, and after trial no one
finds fault with this tint. Some other
ideas have come to the surface thai
will not only add to the value of Maine
condensed milk, but to our entire dairy
product. Another fact has cropped

MANY a farmer, having his barn well
filled with fodder, will dry off his cows
this autumn to run dry through the
winter, and will feed his barn of hay to
these cows and some steers and other
young stock; and, coming spring, will
not have realized a tangible dollar up
to that time from his winters work at
the barn and from all that fodder fed

THE use of kerosene as an insecti-
eide is not as well understood on most
of our farms, or in our gardens, as it
should be. Every farmer, and every
body with a garden, ought to have
good spraying apparatus. Here is the
simple process of making the emulsion,
using the apparatus for mixing: Dis
solve in two quarts of water one quart
of soft soap, by heating to the boiling
point, then add one pint of kerosene
oil, and stir violently for from three to
five minutes. This is best done by
pumping the liquid into itself through
a small nozzle, so that it shall be thor
oughly agitated. This mixes the oil
permanently so that it will never sepa-
rate, and can be easily diluted at pleas
ure, by simply shaking or slightly stir
ring after adding the water TO dilute it.
1t will even emulsify with cold water,
if the soap is thoroughly dissolved.

WE have used, for several years, a
tub with spray pump attached, such as
are sold by implement dealers. This
tub is just large enough to sit On a
wheelbarrow. Large sizes are made to
use in wagon. With either one can
spray currant bushes, grape vines, fruit
trees, squash and cucumber plants, as
well as potatoes. Paris green can be
mixed with the emulsion, or used sepa-
rately, as desired. Insect fighting has
become essential on all farms, and the
war has to be extended also to the
fungous diseases which are so preva.
lent and increasing.

THEY are feeling the scourge of dogs
in Maine, as in every other state where
sheep husbandry is attempted. The
Maine Farmer says: "The dog tax of
the last legislature may be good move,
but it seems to have no force in pre-
venting the slaughter of the sheep by
these rowing ours. Hardly a week
passes without the record of the tearing
and manging of fine flock of sheep
by rowing dogs. More damage of this
kind has been on record the past season
than in any previous year without a
dog law The last is a flock of twenty
sheep owned by Isaac F. Titcomb,
Norway, all terribly torn but three.
Revenue from dogs is not what is
wanted, but law that will be effectiv
in preventing the destruction of the
sheep. Dogs are actually driving out
the sheep industry from large part of
the state. A tax that brings no pro-
lection fails to reach the case"

CENSUS returns tell us that the great
est potato-producing state in the Union
is New York, which devotes to the
crop Ground numbers being used in all
cases., 10000 acres, and raises 30,000,-
900 bushels, or fully one.seventh of the
entire crop of the country. Iowa is
second in amount raised-17, 200, 900
though its area of 1877 200 acres is
eclipsed by the 100000 acres which
Pennsylvania gives to the raising of
10000 900 bushels. Illinois comes next,
both in area and quantity of product,
while Winconsin and Kansas cross
each other for fifth place. The four
New England states of Maine, New
Hampshire, Vermont and Massachu-
sets, however, lead the country in the
number of bushels produced per acre,
the average for the four states being
over 100 bushels an acre, which is at
tanned by no other state except remote
Washington, which promises to become
one of the finest potato-p producing
regions of the world.

If these ideas represent facts, may
we not see an advantage in what at
first seems grievous affection? May
we not make profit even out of loss by
a turn of this sort? The whole matter
is worth serious reflection. If there is
such thing as thus turning the flank
of adversely, is it not far better to ad-
venture it, than to sit down in despair,
or plod on stupidity in outworn ways.

A SENSIBLE writer in the StOckmon
and Farmer says, with truth, that there
are great many people in the world
who cannot accumulate money, no diff
ference how plenty it may be. They
will spend their earnings as fast as they
earn them, and there are others, sharp
and shrewd, who will accumulate, and
the plentier money is the better chance
these men have to scrape it in and en-
rich themselves. And if the govern
ment would issue the desired amount,
$50 per capita, these rich money kings
would in a few years possess the most
of it, and the government would be in
their power more completely than ever.
What we want is sufficient currency for
the business of the country and no
more.
THE same writer says: Some of
our best farmers, mechanics, profess
sional men, and even merchants, do
business on the cash plan, and neither
make nor receive any lnterest-Dearlng
loans. Such course is frequently
recommended as an ideal one for us to
follow, especially that part of it which
would keep us from becoming the debtor.
Now suppose every one could and
would take this advice and cease to bor-
row; then there could be no lending and
consequently no such thing as interest.
Would such happy state of affairs
bring ruin to all the leading industries
of the country? Rather would it not
place them in a solid and profitable
condition? Thus may money be di-
vorced from all relationship to interest
and still remain medium of exchange,
fultilling.its true mission and in no way
checking the prosperity of the indus
trial world"

A WRITER in the NeW York Home
stead, who has travelled abroad, SAYS:
81 was shocked to hear, when attend
ing meeting of the National Agricul-
tural Society of Saxony, in discussion
among very able men, the statement
made that American farmers were the
worst farmers in the world, and that
with US the average yield of staple crops
is the smallest of any civilized country.
Our soil is naturally as fertile as any in
the world, and it is because our methods
are so slipshod compared with theirs
that our average is 80 small. The con-
ditions here and there are Numerically
opposite. We have the high price of
farm labor to contend with which they
know nothing of. There, for genera
tions past and for generations to come,
the farm laborers form class remaining
on the same property, content with
their position and pay, asking nothing
more than to be permitted to remain on
in their position. Here the laborer of
to-day expects to be the landed propric-
tor of tomorrow. The cheapness of
land and his high wages encourages
him to become one. There can be only
one result from cheap land and high
labor-we must cultivate the greatest
amount of land possible with the least
possible amount of human labor. This
condition has fostered the invention of
agricultural implements, and about all
the valuable farm machinery there is
has been invented in this country"

in the garden, to neutralize these evils2
In times past we had to bow to them,
abandon the culture of the crops at
tached, and wait for the storm to blow
over. 1t was so with the wheat nudge
and potato-rot of forty years ago. How
would 1t have been If potato culture
had been abandoned when the potato
bug appeared? Are we not perpetual
ing these evils by fighting them?
Would it not be better, in the end, to
bow to them, yield them the track, and
wait for the natural relief that comes
from the exhaustion or abatement of
the scourge?
HOWEVER we may reason and the
orize on the subject, it is useless to
think of doing otherwise than the rest
of the world If it is "spray," we
must all spray, or give up the crops
that require spraying. But there is
one thing that farmers ought to think
a great deal more about than they do.
Suppose they set out to raise 100, 500,
or l 900 bushels of potatoes, knowing
that they must be sprayed repeatedly
for bugs and fungi. Suppose the same
of any other crop. Is it not plainly the
wise thing to do to grow these crops
that must be sprayed on as few acres
as possible? Should not such crops
have intensive rather than extensive
culture? Can we afford to go over four
acres to get crop that could be got on
two with the same or little more ma
nure and more careful culture?
