ff IHE OMAHA DAILY BEE'MONDAY ! , JUNE 6. 1887. ' - 3 FIELD AND FAHM. Economy In the Expenditure- Labor Philadelphia Record ; Work improperly tlonc is sometimes n waste of labor , nnd on the farm there la often too much work > done for the results gained. Nor Is such work mistakenly txirfortuod always , for often It is premeditated and in defiance of experience and reason. It Is well known that all plants requlr" a sufllcicntamount * of foodheat and moisture U ) enable them to reach maturity and yield to their full c.st capacity , and wiioro thu ground is annually devoted to crops the great dlfli- culty Is to retain its fertility and secure from it all that should be derived under the best possible conditions. Any diminution or deterioration of the plant food in the soil must bo rcsupplicd in some shape , and the .smaller the amount of plant food possessed by the farmer , and the greater the area to bo supplied , the more the dilllculty of recuperating the soil will bo increased. In the face of this fact .fnrin- era do not always take into consideration the propriety of curtailing the area to bo cultivated , by which means they would be enabind to supply a greater proportion tion of plant food to a limited space , and ut the same time save a vast amount of labor. It is not as economical to grow thirty bushels of wheat on two acres as it is to produce twenty bushels on one acre , for , while in the one case the farmer se cures an extra ton bushels nv reason of cultivating more land for that purpose , yet ho has boon compelled to perform twice as much work and to spread his manure over double the area of surface. There should bo no more land put under cultivation than can bo properly man ured or fortili/.ed , as it is much better to have one acre of strong , vigorous plants than two acres of plants improperly pro vided for , while it requires just as much cultivation , seeding , harvesting and hauling for an inferior crop as for the better one. Nor does the Inlliienco end with a single crop. Laud that has been bountifully fed will bo in a better condi tion for a succeeding crop , while that which has been overtaxed will gradually lose fertility anil entail an additional ex pense every year. It is an old rule that proper fluid culture should bo the same as for a garden spot which Is to use plcntv ofmanuro on small areas , work the soil to a fine condition for the seed , keep down the grass and weeds , and make every inch of space produce to its fullest capacity , instead of wasting time , labor and manure over large fields that cannot bo properly cultivated. Tha Gut Worms. American Agriculturist : We are so generally asked about "tho cut-worm1 tliat it is evidently the popular idea thai there is but ono insect deserving that name , while in fact there are naif doxcn or more , all larvns of ditlerenl species of moth. Practically they might bo regarded as ono , did not some of them ascend trees , shrubs and other plants in their destructive work , while most of thorn conlino their operations to the sur face , and work their mischief by cutting oil'young and tender plants even with the ground. Their work is done at night , and as daylight approaches they hide themselves in holes in the ground. Cab bage , when first set out , and lettuce anil other plant * of the garden , up to squashes and other plants of the farm , are attacked by them. Growing muskmelons and water melons tor northern markets Is now an important industry in the southern states , especially within easy reach of the ship ping ports , some hundreds of acres being occupied by watermelons alone. The grower of melons , as well as of cabbages , etc. , finds that his greatest obstacle to success Is in the attack of cut-worms. Various devices liuvo boon proposed to ward oft'their attacks , but among these none appear to bo so sensible or so ell'ect- tivo as that devised by Dr. A. Oemler , author of "Truck 1 arming for the South. " Dr. Oemler Kills off the cut worms before the plants appear. Upon his watermelon Holds ho sets poison traps ut about iiftrcn feet apart each way. These -'traps" are cabbage or turnip loaveswinch have been moistened on the concave side nnd then dusted with a mix ture of Paris green with twenty parts of Hour. These leaves are placed over the field , poisoned side down , at the dis tances above stated , before the plants appear. What follows ? The doctor facetiously says : "Two such applica tions , particular in cloudy weather , at intervals of three or four days , will suf fice to allow the cut-worms to make away with themselves , which they generally do with perfect success. " Hints of Various KlnnU. Marketing the produce is half the bat tle. A farmer should use as much judg ment on this point as any other. Pull the collars away from the shoul ders while resting the horses in the field , BO that the air can pass freely between them. A poor tool oji NIC farm hnpo e ? 2 tax upon the nsBr tiver j day111 Is "emploved , Of tor. greater in the year than the whole prieo of a good tool. A grindstone conveniently placed ready for use leaves no excuse for work ing with a dull ax or other cutting in strument that never does good work. The delicate tine flavor of the onion Is said to be the best when it is first pulled nnd while it still has a green neck. When fully ripened it loses thii flue flavor. Copperas is a aplcndid medicine to keep on hand for poultry. When they have the roup wash their heads with a solution of it , and put some of the solu tion in the drinking water as a tonio. It provides them with solute iron , which is necessary. Since the value of dairy calves is becoming - coming more and more acknowledged , the breeder should study the merits of Hires. It is not so much as to what the appearance of the bull may bo as it is to know how many daughters of his can produce fourteen pounds of butter poi week. The simultaneous development of the bone , wool , fat and muscle in the sheet requires a wide diversity of elements in the food. It would be impossible , for in stance , to got owes to thrive well on t diet of corn alone ; they would grow toe fat and would amount to nothing. Va riuty is absolutely essential. An analysis of hop ret use shows it to 30 < worth | 3,03 per ton. Supplemented 30y > some phosphoric acid and potash , r might servo m place of barn-yarc manure. The average barn-yard mauuri ( partly rotten ) usually containg but 0. per cent of nitrogen , 0.20 of pnosphorii acid and 0.0 of potash. It is an easy matter to stunt the growtl of the wool of the sheep and the lumbi ' ? and a stunted growth is never desirabl in anything. The longer wo farm th more thoroughly satisfied do wo bccom that it pay i to keep stock growing stead ily all tne time , lust the same as a crop and that any failure to do this Is n fallur to secure as much profit as wo could. Wo often speak of farm , cow , stabl and hen manure , as if a fixed value ul tachod to either. lieu manure i especially variable in its rnauuriol less ruenU. An analysis made by Dr. Goes : mann of ono sample ( dry ) shows a valu of $10.65 per ton. It contained the usu : mixture of feathers , earthy substance ! oto. Of another ( fresh ) the analysis show U to worth but f3.43 per ton. Why not have hoo-handlos flat or ova llko ax-handles ? With such u handle tl ; workman can strike moro accurately an Fovrork nearer to plants , because tl boo will not turn in Ids hands. The cdg will wear evenly aud the hoe last lonct than with the old round hanitln. Tf wdit 1 * not BO soon tired nor the bam oramppd with the flat handle. When YOU tonic to repair the old hoes put an oval caudle in ono of them. It is not a mistaken plan to give tha boys n calf or a pig to raise. It teaches them at an early ago to take an interest in farm stock. Kgg plants are tropical by nature , nnd even a cool night will sometimes injure them ; hence do not take them from the hot-bed too early. Hot red pepper tea is the newest rem edy for the cabbage worm. It Is sprink led over thu cnbbngu while the tea la in nearly boiling condition. The war on Insects should bo made now , so as to kill them in their younger stages. Every moth or miller hatched becomes the parent of thousands. It Is better to keep the spring calves until fall if the pasture be largo anil plentiful , as the cost will bo but little , while better prices can then be obtained if they be first put in good condition. Small as is the little bantam fowl it lays n proportionately larger egg than any other brood. It pays , also , asyell as the others according to cost , requiring less room for shelter and yard. It is better to plow deep In the fall and cross-plow again in the spring , if largo quantities of fortill/.ors be used ; but the cultivator should be used frequently in order to keep the earth line and free from wends. Thu best mode of treating a barren spot in the fit-Ids is to manure it and then sow some kind of crop ( such as buck wheat or millet ) , to bo turned under in a green state. Then scatter limo on it and leave it till spring. Grow a crop of pumpkins , as they will keep well for winter use and make an excellent change for the pigs. A farm kettle for cooking pumpkins will enable the farmer to utili/e the crop to better advantage and as they can bo grown in a cornfield after the last working of the corn , they entail but little labor and yield well in proportion to cost , while they are very highly relished by all classes of stock. In attempting to make the food of the calf too rich when it is being raised by hand the digestion may be impaired , and scours bo the result. Skim miik not soured given somewhat warm is the best , but oat-meal cruel may be added three times a week a gill of linseed meal twice a week with advantage. Do not however , change the food suddenly. If the calves and pigs were compelled to forage for a living , like the hens , thcv would soon become u nuisance , ami fail to pay , yet the hen is sometimes expected to lay under the most adverse conditions. If she is to pay a profit she must receive the attention necessary to enable her to perform all that may uc required of her. A remedy for maggots on sheep is said to be kerosene oil. Saturate the sere ( and also the wool around it ) , and inject the kerosene as deeply as possible with the use of n syringe. "It will kill them instantly. As kerosene is very irritating nud painful the use of crude petroleum would perhaps bo better. It is claimed that if a sow bo fed on flesh food , such as a piece of liver or cheap beef , first having the meat slightly sprinkled with salt , she will not bo so liable to devour her young , as the habit is said to bo prompted by a desire for flesh food. If she continue the practice it will bo cheaper to butcher her. Every time you use the cultivator in order to kill out the grass and weeds you are at the same time stirring the soil , thereby admitting more air to the roots of the plants , providing a greater amount of moisture and converting the insolu bio substances into plant food. Level culture is better than hilling , as it enables the cultivator aud harrow to bo used with greater fucility , while the rains do not How oiFas rapidly , which is a very important matter during dry sca- sons"whou light showers occur only at long intervals. Milch cows and steers do not require the same food and should not bo kept in the same pasture If it can bo avoided , a both kinds of cattle will thrive better from the separation , while the labor o ! managing thorn will be lessened. To avoid the forgetting of the practice of salting stock when it is given at statcc periods it is suggested that a lump o rock salt bo placed in the manger , so as to have it within easy reach of the auiina whenever it may desire salt. Stagnant water is detrimental to all kind of crops , and for that reason all iiolds should bo tiled or underdramed in some manner. Undcrdrainings carries oft'tho surplus water and allows more air and heat to enter the earth. Small fruits come in bearing in a year or two after the vines have been planted , while peach trees often bear when three years old. Every family having a small plot of ground should bo able to have them every season. THEY ARESUPERSTITIOUS. What An &ld fakir Say a A\C\\i \ C.MIIP try People How They Arc Worked. . "One who thinks the agricultural dis tricts have been worked , said an old fakir the other day , "has very little real knowledge of country folks. I don't care how many newspapers n farmer takes , or how hard or now often these papers seek to put him on his guard , he is gullible in some direction. You may not be able to sell him a patent hay fork which won't work , or a patent gate , which is a bold face infringmont , and will bring him n lawsuit. Ho may not bite at a $200 piano for flOO , or a now thing in lightning rods. You may not bo able to soil him a fire-proof paint , or prevail upon him to have tne shingles on his roof replaced with shoots of Iron , but if the hook is properly baited no is cer tain to bito. I don t know as this is against him , for I have known towns people * to swallow almost everything , but most of my work * has boon among farmers. " "What is your particular lay ? ' "Well , I don't mind telling you for the publication of it won't reduce the number of gudgeons by ten. I am now working the fortune-telling and buried- sh : among the hills and valleys now if my partner was not ill with typhoid fever. " "Please explain. " "Well , the general modus operand ) , m brief , is this : My partner is an agent. Sometimes ho is taking subscribers to a family bible , and sometimes ho is selling county rights to manufacture a churn ar cheese press. He enters a populous and y wealthy neighborhood , secures board at itd the nearest inn or with some leading d farmer , and while seeming to push his .5 ! business ho is making cautious and particular Ho finds who is ailing io ticular inquiries. , and what the complaint ; who has lost money or stock in a mysterious way ; who is inclined to superstition , and in what ' particular direction ; who has lost rela lo tives , and whether they were old 01 lie bad. Ho and young , good or picks up nod Jots uown lu a memorandum boob d- of facts dPi a perfect encyclopedia Pi and incidents , and the book If re sent to mo at a point anc at a time agreed upon. I am working another neighborhood , and some itis weeks after ho has passed out 01 is sight and mind , I suddenly appeal upon the scene , I reach the farm hous < ssno of John Smith about dark , and arrange no to stay over night. After supper I asl uil him auout his sister Helen , who died o us.ws consumption ton years before : about tin ws horse that was stolen from his barn 01 the night of September 21. 1670 ; about tin , lightning striking his barn in 18SO ; abou ho Ins mother falling out o ! a wagon am ud breaking her leg twenty -onpj'oars before .he and so on aud so on , proving , to tbo tin go bounded astonishment of the family , tha rur 1 am entirely conversant with their his no lory. How did 1 know all these thlugs ids I amlho EOYnth son of a seventh son iTJI > Hfiialilel i nnd it alt cutno to mo as I entered th , gate. "That's the starter , my dear boy , and It never fails to catch on. I am entreated to toll where that horse wont to ; whether there isn't treasure burled on the farm ; what member of the family is to jjo next ; when the hog cholera will appear next , und so on and so forth. My terms arc from | 25 to sf'JOO according to the cnlll- blllty of the victim and his ability to fork over the needful. If he simply wants the past and future , I can accommodate him for about $25. If ho wants to know any thing about burled treasure , 1 set my lie- tires at high-water nuirK. Out of , say twenty families in a neighborhood , eighteen will want my service and pay mu well for tlicm , nnd I will live in clover for a couple of weeks. " "Hut about the buried treasure ? " "Oh's that's all right. In every popu lous country , no matter what state is in , there ar legends of treasure buried by the Indians or robbers. My partner lixed all that. Ho picks up an old Mexi can dollar In sornu door yard or barn yard , and asserts that it must have been a portion of some treasure hurled manv years before. I never saw a farmer yet who couldn't bo convinced that lie owned al farm with a pot of gold and sil ver waiting to bo dug up. Wo bought ! ? .tOO worth ot old gold and silver coin in New York as a starter. My partner lias two or three ancient looking pots runt jugs among his baggage , and lie man ages to make a burial somewhere in each good workable neighborhood. It is close to some prominent object , and I have no lilliculty in pointing out the place. When t is profitable to work the treasury racket I go into a trance , and see three pots or jugs full of money under ground. One is more accessible than the others , but it contains by far the smallest sum of money. That can be found in half an hour ; the others wil } require days of careful search and dizging. If the far mer comes to niv terms 1 locate a pot containing from $40 to $00. Ho finds the pot and the money is in it. If the one pot is there why shouldn't the other two bo ? Tlis one liuil excites all his cupidity , and he is ready to believe any htory I may tell him. The treasure racket is worked only when I am about to leave a neighborhood. " "Anil you impose on people in this manner ? ' "Sorry to say that wo do , but the poo- pit ! themselves arc to blame for it. Any one of sense ought to know that it is im position , lhavo/jrcat / luck in finding stolen or lost articles. If a horse has been stolen. 1 follow him into some other county , and locate him on a given farm. I give the name of the thief and locate him. This is also done just before I leave , for reasons which will bo appar ent. A very simrular incident occurred to mo in Indiana last summer. I was in a neighborhood where a rich ohl lady had lost $10,000 In bonds and jewelry. The box had been taken out of hev house during her absence , and there was abso lutely no clue to the robber. She ofTcrcd me $ 100 to recover the property. I know I couldn't do it , but she hung on and was so urgent that to get rid of her I went into a trance and 'saw1 the box in the loft of an old log house which I re monibcrcil seeing on the highway four or live miles from her house. I told her that if the box had been removed from tiicre it was during a thunder storm , at which time I could not see. Well , take my head for a football if she didn't send a man oil'on a horse that very evening , and inside of an hour ho was back with the box ! Yes , sir , found it exactly where I said it was , and the old lady counted mo out $500 in the cleanest kind of greenbacks. My stock in that neigh borhood went up 100 per cent , at once , and I reaped a golden harvest before I left. I suppose the box was taken by a tramp , and ho was just sharp enough to realize that any attempt to sell the stnlV would result in sending him to state prison. lie hid it away , perhaps intend ing to recover it some , day , but my trance came in ahead of him. " A Curious incident. Now York Truth : The badness of high hucd dyes in hosierv is responsible for a curious incident at a recent fancy dress kettledrum. The girls who served the tea wore peasant gowns which disclosed their ankles. Among the merry maidens was one young and uretty widow , as be witching as they , and twice as audacious in a discreet way. Their sub-rosu con versation turned on their display of an kles , and the widow whispered to a com panion : "I'll bet you a box of gloves that I will take oil'my stockings alto gether , servo out tea for the rest of the attornoon witli bare ankles and no body will discover it. " The wager was made. An Impromptv committee of the amatucr peasant girl ; accompanied the widow to the dressing room. It was very warm in the aoart- ment and the stockings belonging to the costume were exceedingly gay in color. She drew oft' her hosiery. As she had calculated her smooth skin uodorncath was printed with the pattern of tllii stock- ngs , and in tints' not much dimmer or ) lurrci. ( When her slippers wore put on igain no unsuspicious spectator would lave imagined that her shapely ankles were bare. She won her wager. The Invalido llusse , the oflicial journal of the minister of war , gives the cll'ectivu orccs of the czar on the 1st of January , 886. According to this account the Kua- Ian regular army numbered at that time 834,763 soldiers and 30,055 generals and ofllcors. The reserves amounted to 1,000,815 men. The militia of the first call counted 2,100,000 men. And this without counting the Finland regiments. OMAHA WHOLESALE MARKETS General Produce. Saturday , June 4.
