Mr. Editor t The' regular visits of the Farmer are enough to rernind cne of. his obligations to mankind , in" general, and your excellent paper in particular. . ; ,-r r The almost universal . condemnatioa of Hungarian Grass prompts me :( to" offer a few thoughts in relation to; it. 1 It may not be a very profitable crop io raiseiout I think i has. been condemned on wrong grounds. .' - :'i '. r- j; i; 3 J ; , Some time since I saw an article In'the New-York World, from an Illinois farmer, complaining bitterly, of a recomraenda tion of Hungarian in a previous issue of that paper. He stated, that the farmers of his section raised it . extensively one seasonfed a part of it and burned the rest, not being able to sell it, or willing to feed it. - He said that stock ate h with avidity ; find -horses,' cattle, hogs and chickens died around tthe stacks. ;He further, stated that high spirited horses became dull and. languid in a short time when fed upon it, and a.t once regained their spirits by a change of feed. I am at a loss to know how this' could be, unless they were fed so freely, as to get too much seed before they; were ac? customea to it. torn win co as caa as tha; if feed injudiciously, as I know to my sorrow, having lost a good cow by one accidental surfeit. . I have .raised. Hun garian Grass for the., last three years ; fed freely to all kinds of stock, but 1 have not been able to realize 'the slightest in jnry to a single animal. .1 have fed three horses almost exclnsively on it for the last five months, without any apparent change in ilieir health or spirits. I have my doubts; however, about its being a very profitable crop to raise , on the whole, where corn can be raised so easily.: 1 have two objections to it : One is it is a very exhausting crop, and1 the other is it is hard to get :rj'd of when it 4 once gets hold of the soil. ' Two years ago I sowed on3 and a half acres on good bottomland. Owing to the drouth it was cut very ear ly, and not half the seed was ripened ; consequently it eould not have its full effect in exhausting the soiL : The next season I sowed the ground to hemp, and on the Hungarian stubble the hemp was not so high by about eighteen inches as on either side, one side off which had beans the year before, and the other side Buckwheat. ? . ! One such experiment may not be suffi cient to establish a fact, but enough, at least to create a doubt." Four years ago I sowed a small patch for the first, and although I have cultivated with other crops ever since, there were still patches of grass coming up last season.' ' My opinion'is that corn sowed broadcast, and 1 plowed or harrowed in, will; yield more feed to the acre, and of better quality than Hungarian, "an3 leave the ground in better condition for. the next crop.;' I in tend to test the value of. this pinion by experiment, and may give you the result at some future time. I hope others wil? give the result of their experiments, both with-Hungarian and sowed corn. ;If Hungarian must be .set. aside, let it be for the true cause, and not condemn it for murder when its only crime is, not being able to compete with its betters.' . , G.' L. GaiFFIKG. . : Table Rock, 1SG2.' , ;: The Best" Time to Prane. An old clergyman is quoted aside fining this time to be "when your knife is sharp." He was certainly nan rgnt, for a smooth clean cut is very essen tial to the healing of the wound, iipt there is very creat difference in the kealincof wounds on account of the season 111 which they are made. Frun: inrr dnnfi in March and April, especial ly if large limbs are removed, often injures an orchard lor me. ine sap oozes from all the pores and runs down upon the bark, discoloring and often times destrvinn it called scalding. Without other protection, decay be gin3, nnd in a few years you have a hollow limb. We like the . month' of June for . , ., -ii .it. T it- pruning better man an utuers. At me wnrk is dnnfi soon after the new wood begins to form, the wounds made by the! removal of small limbs will be nearly covered over the" same season they are made. : The leaves make such a demand nnon the wood for sari that noho of it escapes from the wounded pores. : It is also a tavoraoie time lor thumb pruning. By watching the rowth of the shoots upon young tree3 they may be brought into symmetrical shape without much use of the knife. Am. Agriculturist,' Tbe Totato Disease..; r . ) A writer in theiMark Lane (Eng.) Express,': who has made ;the potato: a study for years, arrives at the follow- log. conclusions. respecting tneir ui- seasecl condition ; ; ... (, , The Funguswhich 'causes I their de cais always perceptible with the microscope,- arid usually to the naked eye. It generally attacks the'stcms first,' a'nd theri' descends tolhe tul)eri The same fungus is discoverable in the diseasea tubers, ; ana in tbe eon con tiguous to themand ja"i like; fungus has never been found on healthy hauira or tubers. ; ., . . ., : . , lT ; This fungus, when carefully removed from the diseased leaf and transferred to' the substance of the healthy tuber, will originate the disease at the p'oihts of. inoculation in from 4 to 8 days. Every sort of potato will, under favor; able conditions suffer but, as a rule, tho thicker the skin the less prone, is the tuber. to offer a timely, nidus to the spores.-. Alii. remedies-of any practi cal value ih checking the disease are reconcilable with its fungoid charac ter ; : and as a safeguard diseased stem3 and tubers should always be burned or deeply buried.' Warm, humid weather, with a gentle breeze blowing from , a variable point, is favorable; to the in vasion and rapid progress. of the-, di sease;; whilst cold, dry weather tem porarily check- ;.it3 " advance. The writer's, practice for the stay of the disease consists in cutting off and re moving the haulm close to the ground ween .diseased .about half wayjdpwa Rake the soil over-the lower portion? of the stems, and leave them, forra month. This plan is inexpensive, anri usually gives i lair result, , in some seasons there .being only three, and, in otners as nign as ten per cent 01 ui seased tubers. Those not infected were of good size, mealy,' and kep well. ' : a'.' f . T . Another cood clan is to plant on .... . ridges, and when tho diseaf appears m tne haulm, turn it down right ana left, and: place. ajiftje earth over the roots. The funnus is thus: washed away from the tubers during a rain We givo the above not to .endorse them, , but only as the views of one who speaks somewhat positively, and apparently from intelligent expen ence. Am. Agriculturist. How far can Crows Count? A correspondent of the Flattsburgh Republican in discussing this question, narrates the following incident which goes far to answer it: A few years since we were riding in a stage-coach with several gentle men, when the conversation turned on the subject of crows, and many inter esting anecdotes were related. Ont gentleman said ; that ho' knew that croivs could count at least as far as three for he had often proved it. Being troubled with crows in his field, he had often attempted to shoot them But they knew what a gun was as well as he did, and therefore kept out of his reach. He then concluded to put up a small booth in the field, and place some carrion a dead horse within gun-snot, from tins place, he sup posed he could hre at them when they alighted to eat. Whenever he enter ed the booth, the crows would all sit on the distant ti ees, and not one would come near till he was gone. Then all would alight except the' sentinel who remained to give warning if danger approached. ' The gentleman,' finding that plan to fail,' tho' t he would deceive them. So he took his son with liim to the booth, concluding thit when they1 had seen one go away, ! the crows would think the coast was clear, and descend to the bait. But when the son left the booth," a crow sunz out caw. caw. caw. (there goes one) but not a crow would leave his place. . - The next day the gentleman took two persons with him to the booth and then let them depart one at a time. The crows on the tree3 saw the first and'eried out, - "there goes one," in their own peculiar dialect. Then when the other went the cried "there goes two;" but they would not alight for they counted three when they entered. The day following, the gentleman took three others with him. When they went out one by one, the crows cried "there goes one" -"there goes two" "there goes three." And when these men were out.of. sight they all alighted, and the gun of the fourth man did its work. ....... . The gentleman statedthat this thing had been tried repeatedly," and it was evident that crows could count as f-tr as three, but there their arithmetic1 ended. When they will ascend to the higher branch of mathematics is yet to be ascertained. In the mean time others can bring on their incidents of crotf-nology. . '. , ' Catting off Tops to Prevent Potato .
