The weeder is essentially a tool of the good farmer, but it; is not always the good farmer even that can give it just the proper place. where it will do the best work. and out of its proper place it: is not worth much. But; usual- ly the good farmer will be more apt to have the proper place than the poor farmer. says a writer in the Ohio Farmer. Where I have found the best place to use the weeder is on land that was well plowed and hat-rowed until perfectly level, and land that is full -_...... as: -u.¢¢ enough of vegetable mold to be loose and mellow. and the seed. whatever it was. put in an. even depth and deep enough so that the Weeder would not pull it out. With the soil in sucha shape. as every careful farmer likes to see it. the weeder used often and early will prove itself a very valuable tool. But. on the contrary. if the field is badly plowed and harrowed and left lumpy and cloddy, with roots and stones and other obstructions in the way. and if the seed is put in as it would have to he in such a place. and then if the weeds are permitted to get a good start, it will be about as poor :1 tool as can be put in the field. It can never come into competition with “the man with a hoe" when it. Comes to pulling and digging good sized weeds from around the crop. But those who have learned that the best time to kill weeds is before they can be seen are the ones that will make a success with the weeder. Or perhaps it may be better to go farther back than that and say that the killing of weeds is only the secondary object in cultivation. and that the loos- ening and stirring of the soil to stimuâ€" late the plant growth are the first object of cultivation and that the killing of weeds is but a side issue. This I believe is the best way to look at it. and if we work on this principle the weeds will not give us much trouble. The use of the harrow on cultivated crops after they are planted has become quite common among farmers. and has done much to pave the way for the weeder, which can be used much longer and after the crop is much larger. Any one who has harrowed his corn or pota- toes will no doubt have noticed that the greater part of the damage done to the crop is when something like a corn stubble or sod catches under and drags along and tears up the crop. This trou- ble does not occur with the weeder, as it is so closely under the control of the one who holds it. Of the Various makes of weeders it is hard to say which is best. It is not. so much a question of round teeth. or flat teeth, or slant teeth, as it is where and when we use it, and the farmer who uses his weeder when the conditions are the best and uses it intelligently will be satisfied with it. But unless he does he will he apt to condemn it. Our Agrmnltcra! Exports. According: to oliicial statistics of our foreign trade. of the merchandise of (lo- mestic origin that was shipped from this country to foreign markets during the fiscal year 1895. 70.93 per cent. measure in value. consisted of the various products of American agricul- ture Without exception these were the largest agricultural exports ever sent from the United States, their total value reaching as high as $858,507,942. The next highest value on record. ,that for 1892. was exceeded in 1893 by more than $50,000,000. The increase over the figures reported for 1897 amounted to $168,752,749, making a gain of nearly 25 per cent. is that they show a greater gain pro‘ porfionaufly than our nonagrknfltural exrxmta In 1898,as has aheady been pointed out, products of agriculture formed 70.93 per cent of our total ship- ments of domestic merchandise, whereas in 1597 they formed only 66. 84 per cent. Our export trade in farm produce more than kept pace during 1898 with the remarkable growth that occurred in the exportation of American manu- factures. On'e of -tbe interesting facts as re- gards our agricultural exports for 1898 Experience V‘Vith Bee Plants. I have tried crimson clover for three seasons, and for this section it is a suc- cess. and coming'just after fruit bloom it has proved a great boon to my bees. I practice sowing in corn at the last cultivation or with buckweat. J. prefer to have it sowed from June 20 to July 1. as it is not so liable to winter kill sown this early. but I have eown as late as Aug; 15 with a good stand the following spring. Sweet clover yields flmndantly here. but grows most successfully on rich and. [find the seed propagates best when sown during the winter, and when thus sown it will hold its own in all waste places. provided the ground is rich, says a West Virginia correspond- ent of American Bee Journal. Dlh‘nlphltle of carbon is a very deadly gas. and will kill any living,r thing that breathes it in. The v.‘c0dchuck has usually several openings to his burrow. It is necessary to use the gas in some airtight inclosnre. First make sure that the woodchuck is at home. Then close all the openings but one. Wrap a small stone in either cotton batting or rags and saturate the cloth with the bisul- phide. being careful not to breathe it. Then roll the whole thing down into the hole, poking it in with a stick if necessary, and then close the opening securely. The bisulphide will evaporate quickly, and the vapor Will spread through the hole and kill Mr. Wood- chuck it he breathes it.--Bural New Yorke: Tool of the {ow THE WEEDER. to Kill “'oodchnckl. But now I bane said above that the manurial value of the clever Was $8.29. Has there been any change? Yes, a Slight one, because the constituents that go to make fertilizers are cheaper. This makes the fertilizing value of clever slightly less. say about $7 a ton. It might be a little less yet if you bonghis your nitrogen, phosphoric acid and pot- ash at first hand and did your own mixing. Of course the fertilizer men will sometimes say that the plant food in the fertilizer is a great deal more vuln- able than the same amount in clover. It is human nature. They want 130 make you buy their goods. Sometimes. doubt- less. they do not know any better. But there is not a high scientific authority in the land who will not tell you. if he is disinterested. that the abOVc statements are essentially true and fair. Now of course one can sell hay for a good many years from rich land without. noticing much difference. And he may say, “it's all bush about. so much plant food going ofi the farm. Whyt doesn ’t my farm run down if this is true?” W 911, it will, my friend, just as surely as the years roll lound unless you make up the loss in plan!. fond and ‘egemble matter in some way. 'l'hvre are 5plenty of sec.- tions where they have found this 0 :5 by sad experience.

It is nearly ziquys bus: to feed out; the clever hay, saving nil the manure from loss, and then put the manure back on the land. Wisely man- aged. one ought 'to be able to get $4 a. ton out of it by feeding certainly. and then he would have three-fourths of the manurial value at least left in the manâ€" ure If all farmers would deal with these matters from a. Business standpoint the price of hay would soon be up w here it should be. Cf c urse towns and cities must have hay. hut thev ought not to have it at a. price that makes the farmer work for nothing .0. .11 board himself. Surely no eastern farmer ought to sell hay at any such prices as given above. You can do a great deal better, And you must. or see harder and harder times. Much -of the land in the east has got to the point where the owner must consider what he is selling off. as it has to he put back. Feed out the ray, unless the price is very high, the clover in particular. Save all the urine by having a r'ement floor. Don’t let the manure heat or leach in the yard. Thus you will save all the nitrogen and potash. and then you can buy some prosphoric acid, which is cheap. if neededâ€"T. B. Terry. in I‘ractical Farmer.

THE WATCHMAN-WARDER: LINDSAY. ONTa SELLING HAY. SIMPLE DEVICE. FRONT New Scale of Points for Judging the Outlines Clearly Showuâ€"l’rof. C. L. Beach’s Methofl. Prof. C. L. Beach cf the Storrs Agriâ€" cultural College, Storrsi Comm, writes thus to Board's Dairyman: It is fair‘ to assume that the breeders of the various dairy breeds are each striving to produce an ideal dairy cow. In a study of the types of the various breeds by means of their ofiicial score cards respectively, the student is confused by the disagreement and lack of harmony in the xespective scales of points. This 53-61: of harmony is manifest: 151:. By an absence of any system in arrangement of points. 2nd. By different values assigned to the same structural development. brd. The difierent score cards are at variance as to the points or structu e which snould constitute a typical dairy c0”.

This score card is hawl on some knowledge of the physiology 0f the cow. as well as on a. comparative study of the form of typical dairy cows. An attempt has been made to incorporate the few following ideas: For a perfect escutcheon the Holstein and Guernsey allow eight points, the Ayrshire three points, and the Jersey nothing. To avoid the, confusmn which must arise in the mind of the student from an To illustrate: The Holsuein score card allows 13 points in 100 for a. perfect udder, the Guernsey 26 points, the Ayr- shircs 30 points, and the Jersev‘ 4 points. 155. The dairy cow must have a. large digestive capacity. and hence a. long, deep and well sprung barrel. 2nd. Milk is a and the need of udder is apparent. 3rd. Milk is secreted in the udder from the blood, and hence the size of the milk veins becomes an indication of the amount of blood that can be carried through and aWay from the udder. 4th.
