TTboTi ill Help Fence the Fair
Ground t
Gut County Fair Ground ought to
be fenced by the time the next Fair
ts held. It can be done by a little ef
fort. Lumber and labor will do it.
The Agricultural Department of the
Advertiser -will give fifty dollars In
lumber and labor. Let all who 'wish
to have this job done, and who will
contribute in any way to accomplish
it, make it known immediately.

We think the value of buckwheat
. aa a farm crop is not properly appre
ciated in this part of the country.
.Manv object to it because they say
it spreads over the farm and becomes a
a nuisance, iiuc tne larincr wno uoe
his work promptly and thoroughly,
will have no trouble on this score.
Some adopt the plan of thrashing it
on the ground where it grows, carry
ing only the cram away, but burning
the straw. There is no need of such
precaution, for if the threshing is
done in the barn, and some of the
grains scattered, the. hens will find
most of them. Hut if some of the
wed should be carried in the manure,
and scattered over the farm, it will
germinate directly, and is as ea'ilv
killed as any other plant or weed. VV
know a farmer in Illinois who raises
much of it every year; and as soon as
the ground is in order to l? worked in
the spring, he goes over his hist year's
buckwheat field with the cultivator,
or heavy harrow, thus covering the
seed so that it will sprout, and when
lie gets ready to plant corn or jotatoes,
ho plows it under, and has no more
trouble with it.
One advantage of this crop is, that
it may be sown after most other crops
are put in. In this latitude It may be
sown any time between the first and
twentieth of July. We once sowed
Hume on. the ninth of July, in the
north part of this State, and had a fine
crop.
onietlmcs, owing to sickness, con
tinued wet weather, or some unforsecn
tvent, even the best farmers fail of
danting in eason all the ground they
jad intended to plant, some field or
email patch is still lying idle, liuck
wheat may be sown there, and even if
the ground is not rich, a fair crop may !
be expected. -
There is probably no crop that leaves
the soil so light aud mellow as buck
wheat, and hence one of the lenefits
f sowing it ou stiff clay soil as a prep
aration for corn. Nor is there any
crop that will so thoroughly smother
ana kill out weeds. It comes up very
juick, and its leaves being large shade
the ground so that nothing can grow
under them.
. After taking off a crop of hay the
ground may be plowed and sown to
buckwheat; or old pasture ground
may be treated in the same way, and
it will be in better condition for corn
the next year, than it would have been
if it had been plowed and laid idle
during the eumtner and fall. When
chopped, or ground coarsely, it is
among the very best articles of feed
for milch cows and horses, and per
haps for hogs. All kinds of poultry
are fond of it. And who ever heard
f the man, woman, or child that did
not like buckwheat cakes when prop
erly made?
. If the ground is in good condition,
po that all the seeds will be covered,
about twenty quarts is enough to seed
an aere; but if the ground is cloddy
and rough, a bushel may be none too
much.
Women as Farmers.
- At the annual meeting of the North
western Dairymen's Association, held
in Elgin, 111., on the fth and loth of
February, the Hon. K. A. Willard, of
Jlerkimer county, A. ., made an ad
dress of marked ability, from which
we extract the following:
'. Mr. Willard said he did not mean to
advocate female field labor, such' as is
known anion1' the lower classes in
lurope, nor would he abridge one iota
any lemale accomplishment; hut he
could see no objection to any man's
daughter or sister taking her seat oc
casionally on the mowing machine,
the hay tedder, the wheel-rake, the
sulky plow, or cultivator, or in the di
rection of some light farm machinery,
where she can gain strength and
health In the open air. He was con
fident women enjoy such things, and
are much happier, stronger, and bet
ter, if they are taught that such work
is not unwomanly, and the knowledge
gained would be of immense service
in after life, in assisting the father,
brother or husband, with suggestions
and advice. In their education we
do not give our girls a fair chance in
the ; race of life. The majority of
American hoys ami girls do not like
to make a choice of farming as a live
lihood. The farmer's educated daugh
ters of to day prefer the town or city,
and have little sympathy for the farm ;
and if they marry a 'farmer, often
urge him to abandon the business for
something more genteel. In England
they have better tastes, where their
women have more fondness for coun
try life than ours. A well-bred Eng
lish woman seems to take pride in the
knowledge of business suitable to her
station. Lady Pigott, t.e wife of .Sir
Robert Pigott. has one of the most
noted herds of short-horns in Eng
land. She has made it both a source
of profit and reputation. A high bred
American woman can hardly under
stand such a taste, and regards it with
intolerable disgust. He did not care
to discuss this question. He only
asked that famers try in some way to
make farming pleasant and interest
ing to wives-and daughters, that the
farm may have their sympathy and
influence, for without such help it is
hard to make farming successful.

The following plan, to break a bot
tle or jar across its circumference, so
as to form a battery cup, or vessel for
other purposes, may bo of some ser
vice to our readers. I have performed
the operation successfully many times.
Place the bottle in a vessel of water,
to the hlghth where it is designed to
break it; also, fill the bottle to the
same height. Now pour coal oil in-
fide and out on the water; cut a ring
of paper, fitting the bottle. Saturate
with alcohol or benzine, so that" it
touches the oil. Pour also, some in
frlde the bottle. Bet on fire ; the cold
water prevent the glass from heating
below its surface, while the expansion
caused by the heat will cause the ves
sel to break on the water-line. Scien

Old Treks. There i an interest
in
old trees which seems to lk a
never
failing topic of discussion. The oldc
tree or the biggest tree in any country

equaled by any other local curiosity.
Old people, too, love to talk about
these familiar topics, and their chil
dren after them repeat with pleasure
the queer old stories and ideas about
the old tree" which still live, while
every one else grows old and drops

, Apple TTorms.
Wo cull the following facts onnccrn-
ing these intolerable pests, from the
American Entomologist: It has long
been known that, by placing an old
cloth7o any thing'of that nature, in
the rrofch of an annle' tree' the annle
worms may be decoyed into building'
their cocoons underneath it, and thus '
be destroyed wholesale. -Dr. . Trimble's 1
method, which amounts to the same
thing, and lias been found to bV prac
tically very beneficial, is to fasten two
or three turns of a hay band round
the trunk of the apvle.-tree and every
few. davs.Trom the micidle of July to
the middle of September, to slip the
hav'band up'and destroy the cocoons
that have from time to time been
formed on the bark, underneath it.
All 4 authors: axe agreed. to the
practical" 'Importance of picking up
and destroying the wormy apples as
fast as they fall, either by hog power,
or, when that i$hwonveniont and im
praHiewbley by'J man power.4. " ' ,'Vhe
practical utility of allowing a gang of
nogs the range of the appie orchard
throughout the summer is undoubted.
When wc consider, that every female
moth that hatches out in July or Au
gust, from the first brood of apple
worms, will probably deposite an egg
in some two or three' hundred nearly
matured apples, thereby rendering
them more or less unsalable, the im
portance of destroying the wormy
wind-falls in the, fore part Nof the
season at all even ti becomes M once
apparent! j r s- ;''...;
Plants for a Shady Situation'.
There are in city gardens or in the
couutry, on the north side of houses,
many shady situations which the sun
can 'not reach, and where very few
plants will grow. Our best recom
mendation is to try ferns. These are
by nature lovers of a cold climate and
temperature, and by a judicious ar
rangement many pleasing combina
tions aud effects can be produced. We
give here a list of some of the shrubs
that will succeed well :
Aueuba .Taponicn.-Jierberis Aquifol
ium, li. Kepens, and li. Drawinii,
Box, common and variegated Hollies,
common Laurel, Cotoneaster Mlcro
phylla, Privet, Ithododendorn Pon
ticum, St. John's Wort, Spurge Lau
rel, Snowberry Ivy for the walls, and
Periwinkle where nothing else will
grow.
The common Yew, Alexandrian
Laurel, and the common Butcher's
Broom comprise nearly all the best
plants. Ferns will always be found
very suitable, and will be fair more
successful than shrubs.
Flowering Skruruery. Every
one acquainted with the subject has
lus preference, or rather tancy, as to
the flowering shrubs. But there is a
group of them which, by universal
consent, every one admires and desires
to ee ujKMi his premises. -Among
them are the following : The several
Spineas, especially lleevesii and Pru
nifolia, DeiitziasForsythia, Colutea,
Wiegclea, Snow-Ball, Philadelphia
Coronatus, Pyrus Japonica, Double
flowering Chinese Apple, Magnolia,
Soulangean i , Magn Ua : Cotispjoua,
Mist tree, Persian Lilac, Enouytnus,
Flowering Almond, Double-flowering
Peach, etc.
There are numerous others which,
when carefully cultivated, are very
pretty and add much to the rloricul
tural appearance of the premises ; but
each one will find out for himself as
he progresses .' in ' his. improvements,
and his knowledge becomes more ex
panded in floriculture, what to add to
the collection, as his taste may dictate
Ger. Telegraph. - , , t
If a mulching is employed at the
time of planting trees, they will never
Yieed watering. Uniform temperature
and a constant supplv of moisture are
the prime elements of success in fruit
culture. -JMuiclung enables us to ac
complish this. Mulching acts bene
ncial in other ways, it prevents to a
great degree the cracking of fruit, and
cause tho-e varieties which are gener
ally spotted and defaced to become
clean and covered with a rich bloom
Asm:.s roKFjuTiT-TuLi:K.--Wc have
known quite a number of instances
Indeed, so often as to make it quite a
rule that old orchards, apparently
dying out have been brought back
again to fruit fulness by n liberal use oJ
wood-ashes, also stirring the soil. Pott
ash is the most important element in
the successful growth of all kinds of
fruit-trees. Ah old gentleman told a
club, not long ago, that ho had known
a man make and preserve an orchard
of apple-trees in a flourishing and pro
ductive condition, originally placed on
very poor ground, by sprinkling every
vear around each tree, to the circum
ference of the extent of its brandies,
half a buhel of ashes. -We ..consider
this a very important item. " '
Limko.v Pkach-Tkj:ks. Mr. Bailey
of El Paso, 111., writes to the Wentern
Rural that the application of lime to
peach-trees is a successful method oi
treatment: "I saw recently an ar
ticle on lime being injurous to peach
trees. I will here state an experiment
tried by myself on trees la-t spring.
In our garden there were six trees.
The fruit set nice, but on some the
leaves did not start. I thought there
was something wrong; ou examina
tion the borer was there. I trimmed
oft' the bark, found the insect as des
cribed in the paper; took air-slacked
lime and put it ull aronud the stem ;
then put back the dirt. The leaves
came out and the peaches got ripe.
The trees look well. Those where I
didn't put lime died. '
To Mkapcrk Land. To find the
area of a square or oblong piece of
laud, measure the length and breadth
in rod (I'Ji feet); multiply the two to
gether, and divide the product by 300,
which will give the number of "acres
in the lot." If the shape of the land be
triangular with one corner square, to
use a common expression, proceed as
above, and take one-half the product
as the area of the triangle. In meas
uring irregular fields, divide the space
into parallelograms and triangles, as
certain the area of each, and the sum
of the whole will give the total area.
