The presence of cutworms in a field be-
comes noticeable Immediately after a crop
has been set out, whether sweet potatoes,
cabbages, tomatoes or whatever else it
may be, or soon after the seed has sprouted
be it corn, onions or other vegetables. All
over the field plants have disappeared or
have fallen. Investigation will show that
they have been cut or eaten off at the sur
face or even little below it. In the corn
field they cut off the plants almost as fast
as they come above ground, and white po-
tatoes occasionally suffer as severely. Nor
mally the insects are grass feeders or feed

manures are very rich in one element and
some in others; and for the most part, the
richer the elements contained the less
bulky they are, as, for instance, hen ma
nure; and, on the contrary, the more
bulky. the less value in fertility.
For this reason it is difficult TO apply the
less bulky rich manures economically to
land; hence it is best to compost them with
the more bulky. such as barnyard ma
nures The rich elements will soon per-
meate the entire heap. and thus the richer
manure can be evenly spread overa larger

The Proper Application of Manure

The Epitomist says: Properly manuring
and enriching the soil is the foundation
of successful farming. and demands the
farmers careful attention. The time once
was when there was an abundance of rich
virgin soil, when the farmer could, with
some excuse, neglect the saving and manu-
featuring of manures, with which to en-
rich his fields, and crops seldom failed;
but such a condition. of things, especially
with much of the country, is past. There
is a great difference now, and a failure, to
a greater or less extent, of crops Is almost
sure to follow, unless the best methods of
fertilizing the soil followed with good cul-
tivation, be pursued.
We advocate fall manuring where it is
to be served TO land by broadcasting IL
over firm subsoil and fairly level land,
but not till in the spring If on very porous
soil or hilsides. Nor is 1t a waste to ma
nure thus, as many think. nor in excess of
the crops demands, unless on open or
sandy soils. But ii is not, in the MAN. the
best economy to make heavy applications,
except it be to bring up exhausted lands
in excess of the demands of the crop; for
with the farmer, as with the tradesman or
merchant he wants quick returns on his
investments; therefore he should apply
Just what he thinks the crop needs, and
this over just so much ground as can be
well cultivated. If too much plant food be
given by excessive manuring, and the sea-
son be moist and favoring vigorous growth
grain crops especially. may be injured by
this overlooking the plant. There is forced
an extra growth of stalk or straw, which
usually falls down, and the seed is thus
destroyed or prevented from properly fill
ing and maturing.
We once sowed to wheat a small field
which before clearing, had been the feed
ing place for stock of various kinds for
years their droppings rotting and ming
ling with the soil. This was cleared, the
ground well prepared and sown, and the
result was an extraordinary crop OF straw
the stalks, in many places, grew to the
hight Of seven feet-and not over twelve
bushels of fairly good wheat 10 the acre.
The field was afterward taxed with the
growth of two crops, of tobacco, then
again sown to wheat, and the yield was
nearly twenty bushels per acre. We at
tributed the Sfirst result 10 the excessive
manurial stimulant in the soil.
An excessive quantity of rich manure
nut in the hill, for instance, say peck of
hen manure in the hill, for melons, and if
a moist season follow, an excess of vines
with little or no fruit, is likely to be the
result. But intermix this manure with
the soil in the fail, or even early in the
spring, then the result will be not only
thrifty vines, but abundance of fruit as
well.
As manures made on the farm are Of
very unequal values, they should be thor
oughly mixed or composed together before
applving them to the land or crops. Some
