DOWN WITH THE BIRDS.
"We bavo tried to be for "spare the
birds" for many years, both in the.
sense of humanity, and to be poetical.
The doctrine, however, has been on
the wane for several years, until now
"lwe acknowledge to an entire ex
'tlngulshment. Early pea3 and apples
eweet grapes anU cherries, have, in a
great measure, gone to appease the
appetite of ravenous birds. This
year the fruit from three hundred
choice grape vines Delewares, Dian
as nas, Isabelles, Ionas, Hcrtfords, JRog-
lrsand Concords have been punctur
ed, crushed and destroyed as fatt as
.they colored ; nothing left ; entirely
destroyed! Robins, Orioles, CaL
Birds Blue Jays and Wood Pecks have
all proved themselves most desperate
and destructive thieves, looking
glasses, scraps of tin, and other scare
crows have no effect. Powder and
shot, and that only while being used
has any effect. "We are done with
. our bird, sympathy ; our "voice is for
war."
LABGE HOGS.

Grapes this-season, in this section,
are more than ordinarily early. Hart
,9rds(are long since gone ; Delawares
are now in their prime; 'also Concords,
Israella, and Rogers' 15 and 19. Di
anna, lona and Jssabella are well col
ored. It will be difficult to keep any
of the above fn prime order, except
perhaps the Diana, until the State
Pair.
We have this season, for the first
time, fruited the lona and Israella in
this State. We have no hesitancy in
awarding them all the credit claimed
by their originator and most sanguine
friends. The vines are hardy and the
fruifcsuperb.
Capt John L. Carson, of this city,
has been for several years past devot
isg himself to the introduction and
( raising of blooded cattle. He has a
,.Jine little herd of about twenty young
Bhort horns. The past week he pur
chased in Illinois and brought on one
'pf the finest short horn bulls we have
seen in.the State. A visit to the Cap--
tain's fine farm, and a sight at his
stock, especially his cattle, cannot fail
, , to be most gratifying to all lovers in
, that line.
THE ONE CROP SYSTEM.
Scarce a'day passes tbatwe-do'not
get testimony as to the embarrass
ment resulting to farmers depending
upon a single crop for revenue. A
Wisconsin correspondent and agent,
writes: "Jt'isvery difficult obtain
ing subscribers on account of the
times. When farmers a'ro selling
wheat at 75 cents per bushel, which
they say st $1 per bushel to raise,
they generally say I would like the
paper, but cannot take it this year.' "
Another farmer in Iowa writes : "I
staked mysuccebs this season upon a
single crop, and I am as fiat as a
flounder. I am in debt for my land
and had prices for wheat been as good
as the year previous, I would have
cleared off my indebtedness and more
too. Now I cannot meet my pay
ments, and unless my creditors have
the milk of human kindness in their
hearts I shall lose all I own. I assure
you it looks blue to me."
We quote from these two, among
scores of similar letters, to show the
effect of the single crop system, when
that crop, or the price of it, fails. On
the other hand, another Iowa corres
pondent writes one of the editors of
the Mural a private letter, which con
tains the following.; "You remem
ber you said in one ofybur letters a
year ago, 'now my dear boy don't go
into wheat all'over. Don't you see
that your Iowa fanners are all wheat
crazy? Buy your flower the coming
year, plant more corn and potatoes,
sow oats and barley, buy all the hogs
vou can keep ana ieett ttrem -well,
and vou will win. and your wheat
neighbors will lose.' Do you remem
ber writing me that? You did, and
for a wonder, I followed your advice,
and to-day I am at lea?t a thousand
dollars richer by it. I am easy .finan
cially, as a flowing river. There are
hundreds of poor wheat fellows who
are not though. I owe you for my
serenity."
The editor who wrote that private
letter (had forgotton it) based his ad
vice upon a rule, which he had early
learned was a wise one that is, to
abandon the extended cultivation of a
crop which everybody is going to cul
tivate. .Every extra day's labor, dol
lar and acre pf land employed in the
production of wheat or corn, or any
other crop, above the usual average,
enhance the value of other crops in
market from which this labor, and
land money is taken ; so that if ten
men in a neighborhood sow an extra
aera to a double aera, he plants in
other crops, instead of doiug as his
neighbors do. Rural New Yorker.
We do, as we have often done, en
dorse the foregoing views of our co
temporary. Our readers know that
we have often showed up the fallacy
so dilligently propogated in this Com
monwealth, and officially to, of the
"one crop system" rather than the
diversity. In some special cases, as on
laud suited to growing the finest leaf
tobacco, strawberries, etc.j but they
arc exceptions to the rule to be gener
ally practiced. The old adage "Send
not all your eggs to market in one
basket" in culates sound doctrine,
respecting the one crop system. Bos

RCRillifSOTES.
HOW DEXTER IS SHOD.
Each shoe is carefully balanced,
the surface which comes in contact
with the ground, slightly curves from
heel to toe, so that when the horse is
standing firm, the principle weight is
borne by the heel and centre, no
heavy pressure being felt upon thej
toe. Just as a line drawn from the
toe to the heel of a man's boot would
demonstrate a slight curve, so is the
natural curve gived toDexter's shoes.
When a man walks there is a risincr
sloping action, from heel to toe, and
wnen a norse is trotting', tnere-isa
rolling motion from heel to toe.
Acknowledging the principle to
oe correct, it stands to reason, mat
a horse will gather more quickly
and with less friction if, instead"
of the heel and toe beinir forced
to the same level, the former being
raised a little higher than the lat
ter. To secure exact proportion to
this curve, Mr. Bonner takes each
shoe and places it on the smooth
surface of ainarble slab, and weighs
it with a critical eye. In the toe
of each shoe a slight excavation
or sloping indenture is made for the
purpose of giving firmness to the step
or tne norse. JtJy the force of con
cussion the soft earth is forced up in
to this excavation, so that in rising
from heel to toe the foot does not slip
backward. This sloping .Indenture
must be carefully proportioned to the
size and weight of the shoe, for other
wise it mightcreate friction and prove
a positive drawback instead of an as
sistant. This mode of shoeing has
certainly worked well in Dexter's
Lease, for the marvel is still a marvel,
uuu uu oi ms recent periormauces,
which have so much astonished the
people, have been made in shoes con
structed after the pattern described.
Turf, Fteld and farm.
Ninety-one and one-half bushels of

HOW TO
MEASURE
CRIB.
CORN IN THE
After leveling the corn multiply
the length and breadth of the house
together, and the product by the
depth, which will give the cubic-feet
of the bulk of the corn : then divide
the last product by twelve, aud the
quotient will be the number of bar
rels of shelled corn in the house or
crib. If there be a remainder after
the division, it will be so many
twelfths of a barrel of shelled corn
over.

-, I GERMINATION OF SEEDS.
The sprouting of seeds can be
greatly facilitated by chemical agen
cies, especially by the action of
ammonia and carbalic acid. A solu
tion of the latter will often cause them
to germinate withiri a day or two,
even after having been kept for forty
years. Coffee Beeds, which are prov
erbially hard to start, are best for
warded by placing them in a covered
vessel containing equal parts of water
r and spirits of sal ammoniac, at the
ordinary temperature. At the end of
twelve hours, the roots will-be-found
to have started. Most of the stories
of the germination of wheat found
- p. I16 mummy cases, are of a very
dubious character. Travelers and
. others have often been "sold" by the
r Egyptian rascals, who have furnish
ed them with these seeds of two thous
and or more years ago. It is stated,

of any one better able to. answer the
question than himself.
We have never tried an experiment
of tSiisj kind ourselves, and cannot
give any positive information in the

that curtain kinds of vegetables would

much has been written, on the sub
ject, and how important in order to
know anything of actual results: and
yet how few nmonj all the mass of
farmers ever think of doing it; how
very few know anything near what
any crop oranimal costs them, orseem
to care either. They mostly do what
they see tlieir .neighbors doingaround
them, with very little method or cal
culation, and leave the result to ac
cident. Ask a farmer how much
grain he h:is of any particular kind.

kept the tally upon the threshing-machine,
ahd forgot to take it off on his
book before the machine left. Much
less can he tell you what his whole
year's crop amounts to, or what his
whole expense have been. Of course
we do not say that all farmers are so,
because we know there is occasionally
a systematic business man among far
mers, as well as in other lines of busi
ness; but I take it they are the except
ion, and not the rule.
Now this ought not to be so; a care
ful knowledge of results is just as im
portant to the farmer as the merchant
or manufacturer, or a railway com
pany. Kailway companies keep their
accounts so accurately thatthey know
to a cent exactly how much each loco

everything about them cost fmm

Get Leather Bits. One of the
Crulest things done to dumb beasts is
hutting hard frozen iron bits into a
horse's mouth. It is not only painful
but a dangerous act. For every time
living flesh touches n metal much be
low tjio freezing point, the latter ex
tracts the heat from the former aud
freezes it. Thus a horse's mouth be
comes frozen by the cold iron several
times a day put into it; each time
causing these freezings to go deeper

Value orForcst Trees. '
TheOnarga(IH.( Horticultural So
ciety has placed upon file the follow
ing resolution for discussion at some
future meeting:
"Besolved, that the cultivation of for-e-t
trees is more profitable fo the pra
rie farmer than the cultivation of fruit
trees."
So far as xt relates to the direct profit
to be derived from the cultivation of
forest trees, the farmers in each lo
cality will have to determine for
themselves, but, we judge that the
resolution might have been a little
stronger if it had read. "The culti
vation of fruits cannot be made profi
table in prarie countries without pro
tection, and this cannot be obtained
in any other way so cheap as by grow
ing forest trees." In the Western
Si ates this subject of growing trees
for protection and profit is receiving
considerable attention, but not more
than it really deaires. Whenever the
Western farmers cover at least one
fifth of their laud with forests they
will find that they can grow more
upon the whole. The country will be
less liable to suffer from drouths; in
sects will do ''Jess damage, because
their natural enemies, birds will find
shelter in the woods, and will multi
ply accord ingly. We have Only to
read the history of any country that
has been deprived of its forest to veri
by the truth of these assertion. Too
much forest is certainly not desirable,
but to little is a calamity not readily
repaired. "
Every farmer should have a few
acres of woodland, and those who have
neglected to secure this ought to be
gin immediately to supply this want,
either by purchase or by planting
seeds. There will never be a better
time than the present. Forest tree
seeds, of many specie, are now begin
ning to ripen, ana tnose wlio have
the small seedlings for sale will be
pleased to receive orders for the same.
Hearth and Home.
Mules on the Farm.
Mules are almost universal on the
sugar and cotton plantations of the far
South, while the favorite team on the
Northern farm has always been the
ox; partly because his carcass is so
valuable when cut into steaks, partly
from the rough character of the soil,
which makes a slow team very desira
ble. The mule is much stronger than
the horse on stony soils, or carts on
rough roads. They are more easily
kept than either horse or oxen; and
will consume almost any rough fodder
with relish.
A serious drawback to the ox team
is, that it demands a pasture a part of
the time, or its equivalent in green
foder. If kept up continually and fed
with dry hay and meal, oxen will lose
appetite after awhile and fail in flesh.
The mule can be kept up as steadily
as the bore, without any loss of flesh or
strength. This is a great advantage
to those who have full work for their
teams. It rather agrees with mules
to have a daily task, and to be kept
straightatit. A week's idleness seems
to demoralize them, and they have to
learn their lessons over again. They
are not as liable to disease as either
the horse or ox, and are much longer
lived. A well used mule team will
last thirty years; and that is about
long enough.
But itrwill be said(he mule is such

ins aptest mode ot defence. It is so
natural to return blows for blows that
the mule receives a good education in
the line of kicking rather than in for
bearance. If we are persistently pa
tient with him, and treat him with
kindness, he will lose his fears, and
his disposition to kick. If you want
a good tempered mule team, you must
keep your own temper. You must
join Mr. Berg's society and come into
good fellowship with brutes. Yelling,
scolding, cursing, and blows will make
a vicious team almost inevitable.

Good Farming Implements are the
basis of success la making tho farm
pay. Without these, thnush the soil and
climate are favorable, farming in the nine
teenth century cannot be made profitable, as
the basis of all prices is upon that which can
bo produced most successfully, with the least
labor, in the greatest quantity, on a given
amount of land. The first requisite to farm
ing is a good PIoy, one that will scour readi
ly in all soils, and Is made of the best mate
rial upon scientific principles based upon the
experlenceof centuries. The Canton Clipper
Plow will be found the plow combining theso
qualities in the greatest degree. As Corn Is
tho staple crop of this section, a good Corn
Planter is a desideratum to profitable farm
ing not to begot along without Such an one
Is Selby's Union Corn Planter. The next
Implement is a good Cultivator; such is Par
lin's Walking Cultivator. It is easily man
aged, does its work well, with ease to the
horses, and Is dnrable. In small grain an
Implement Is needed that does its work well
In. all kinds of grain, in all conditions and
positions ; one that work:; as well In grass as
grain, and is of light, uniform draft on the
horses. This means the John P. Manny
Reaper and Mower. A Stalk Cutter is also
necessary, and no better can be found than
Cole's. All of these, together with all the
lesser Implements, such as Hand Corn Plan
ters, Hay Knives, Forks, Spades, Rakes,
Hoes, etc., can be examined and purchased at
