AGRICULTURAL.
SCIENCE APPLIED TO FARMING.
Science, as that term is generally ap
plied, has not effected for agriculture
what farmers have been led to expect;
and in stating wherein it has failed, we
claim that we confer a greater benefit on
agriculturists than we could by urging
upon them the theories advanced by
those who claim that the failure of far
mers to grow large, profitable crops
every season is owing to their neglect to
follow the rules laid down by agricultur
al chemists. We claim that no man
exists who can give a formula of com
mercial fertilizers for the different crops
grown with certain and unchangeable
results in different localitities—that the
best formulas for fertilizers that can be
given are liable to fail as profitable in
vestments in perhaps half the cases
where applied. I'rofessor Atwater, in
an article in the Agriculturist, gives the
result of the application "to one plot a
complete fertilizer, to another the same
with the omission of nitrogen, while
from a third phosphoric acid, and from
a fourth potash was omitted, and so on,
the last of the plots, seven in number,
being left unmanured,
er may understand this case more fully,
we will add that the "complete fertil
izer" was that known a Prof. Villers',
which is extensively sold. It is said to
be adapted to all crops, and is composed
of the following:
Superphosphate.
Sulphate of potash.
Sulphate of ammonia.
Sulphate ofliiue (plaster)....
This composed the "complete fertil
izer," as applied to plot No. 1. Here
are the general results with a crop of
oats :
1—Complete Fertilizer.
•2—Without nitrogen.
:5—Without phosphoric acid,
4—Without pota-h.
r,—without sulnhate of lime
»5— Sulphate of ammonia.
7—No manure.
In plot No. 2, "without nitrogen,"
means that the sulphate of ammonia
was left out. In No. 3, "without phos
phoric acid," meaus that the bone in the
superphosphate was omitted. Now,
note the singular results. When some
of these chemical fertilizers were omit
ted the crop was largely inn-eased; and
the plot, that {contained "no manure"
was larger than on plot 2, witli nitrogen
only omitted. In regard to these re
sults, Prof Atwater says: "Soilsvaryin
their needs of plant-food, and if we are
going to buy fertilizers to put on them,
we should select the ones that furnish
the needed materials rather than to pay
our money for ingredients that are not
needed. Phosphates and bone manures,
make up the larger part of the commer
cial manures in ordinary uso,and they fur
nish varying, but generally small quanti
ties of nitrogen, and little or no potash.
Their most importantingredientisphos
phoric acid: they all contain lime, of
which in the superphosphates, a consid
erable is in the form of sulphate. In a
vast number of cases they are just what
is wanted. But in the one described,
the phosphoric acid and sulphate of lime
did very little good. It certainly would
have been poor economy to buy phos
phates and bone manures for the land
and crops experimented on. Peruvian
guano which is rich in nitrogen, and
furnishes a little potash, would have
been better, but a large part of its value
Is in phosphoric acid, which was not
wanted, at least not for present use. Of
course, after long cropping, the condi
tions might be changed. But most of
us can not afford to store up large ex
cess of costly material in our soils, to be
drawn upon, perhaps, a decade ora gen
eration hence, and perhaps, never. We
want our investments to bring tlie best
return in the quickest time, and we
ought to try to apply such fertilizers as
will do this, and at the same time bring
tlie plant-food in the soil into equilib
rium with the needs of our crops."
The Professor lias a correct view of tlie
case, as lie admits that farmers must
themselves ascertain by experiments what
their soils need. But then comes in the
difficulty that every field, according to
its cropping, is different in its require
ments; one field may lack potash, an
other nitrogen, and a third phosphoric
acid only ; while a fourth may need
tliem all.

TnE Economy of Farmers.— Prob
ably no class of people are compelled to
be more economical than farmers: but
in the end they enjoy life quite aB well
as any other class of citizens. A mer
chant may dress better than a farmer ;
but could we read tlie anxieties of his
mind—how he is to support his family
in style—how he is to pay his notes at
the bank—how he is to collect doubtful
debts, and many other things. We should
decide that the farmer, with his new
suit of clothes once in three years, and
liis plain style of living takes more real
enjoyment, of life than the merchant or
professional man does. But farmers
should live within their incomes how
ever small they may be. It is not so
much in saving as in taking care of what
you have that most affects your incomes,
just think of the reckless folly of leaving
a farm wagon out exposed to tlie sun
and rain, winter and summer, as some
farmers do ! It does seem that such
farmers are partially demented. Not
only wagons, but ail kinds of farm im
plements are left out by many farmers
to be ruined by sun and rain. It is the
most important branch of economy to
keep implements well painted, and under
cover when not in use. A rich farmer
may be able to afford to be careless in
Lliia respect, but not tlie farmer of mod
erate means. Nor can farmers afford to
use the old style, cumbrous farm tools
that do poor work, and require much
more time to do their work than the
improved implements do ; and here also
is economy in buying the best imple
ments that exist, because "time is mon
ey," to say nothing of the superior man
ner in which the best implements do
their work, by wtiicb crops are increased.
But in all of your efforts to economize,
don't neglect to give your children a
good common education, at least; as it

coats but a trifle to send them to the
district schools now everywhere estab

ly, and that they learn their lessons.
No farmer living can afford to rear a
family of children without a fair school
education. But one of the best aids in
giving children a general knowledge of
what exists in the world, and what is
transpiring therein are the newspapers,
and magazines of the day ; and you will
find it economy that pays well to sub
scribe for them liberally, as no farmer
exists who has ever repented of laying
before his children a generous supply of
the best current news and literature of
the times.

Cabbage.— Cabbage plants require a
rich, moist soil ; and the application of
manure in large quantities pays well.
The Flat Dutch variety is the most gen
erally grown for winter use, the plants
to be set from the 20th of Juno to the
middle of July, according to theclimale.
Market gardeners usually grow cabbages
as a second crop where they have grown
peas the same season. Set in rows three
feet apart in the rows. Two feet and a
half apart eacti way innyTio very well;
but it is not easy to run a cultivator
between them, at that distance, when
the cabbages are half or more grown.
Farmers who reside within ten miles of
a large town can make the growing of
cabbages profitable, as 10,000 beads can
be grown on an acre of land, worth
usually $600. There are some drawbacks
to success, as not beading well, worms,
and the club-foot. Lime applied to tlie
soil arouud tlie plants is beneficial in
preventing the club-foot, and worms
may be destroyed by examining the
plants every morning, and if gnawed
leaves are seen, the worms to the plants
gnawed may be found just below the
surface of the soil near the stems of the
plants. Cabbages are also profitable to
grow to feed to cows iu tlie fall till cold
weather sets in; at least sneli as are
loose and not well headed. The Agri
cultural Chemist says: "The cabbage is
a potash plant; of this element a tun of
heads would remove 12 lbs., and of phos
phoric acid but 4 lbs. As the average
crop in England is 22 tons, and as this
would not be an excessively large crop
in America, we may calculate that such
a crop would remove 264 His. of potash
and 88 lbs. of phosphoric acid, which
would be supplied in about 528 lbs. of
muriate of potash of liigli grade, and
about 100 lbs. of an average superphos
phate."

seed to tlie acre. Sow broadcast, and

mercial fertilizers superphosphate is the
best for turnips. That which is dis
solved in oil of vitriol (sulphuric acid) is
best. Indeed, all superphosphate is thus
dissolved, if not, it is merely phosphate
of hone meal. Tlie dissolved article acts
upon vegetation immediately, while the
crude bone meal will remaih in the
ground several years before its virtues
are exhausted. Nitrogenous fertilizers,
as guauo, sulphate of ammonia, and ni

Lime for Slugs.—P ear trees may
now be expected to be infested with
slugs, which may be destroyed by sprink
ling the trees with flue slacked lime.
Put it in a bag made of coarse, open
material, tie it to a pole, and shake the
bag over the leaves of the trees when
the dew is on them, or immediately after
a rain.
HINTS TO HOUSEKEEPERS.
Kaspbekby Vineoab.— Mash a quin t
of raspberries witli a spoon in a china
bowl : pour over it a pint of vinegar of
the nicest quality ; let it stand three days,
and stir it frequently. Pass it through
a flannel bag, but do not press or squeeze
it in the least. Putapoundof loaf sugar
to a pint of juice, boil it ten minutes,
skim well, add a glass of brandy when
cold, and then bottle and seal it.
Brandy Peaches.— Wipe off the
down of the skin with a flannel cloth,
f iriek tlie fruit with a needle, put them
n cold water, and scald till quite tender,
but not broken. ITse half a pound of
sugar to a pound of peach ; clarify tho
syrup as before directed, and, when
warm, add nearly the same measure of
white brandy. Put the peaches in jars,
and pour on tlie syrup. The cling stones
are best for this purpose.
Tomato Frog.—Scald the tomatoes
and remove the skins. Allow half a
pound of sugar to a pound of fruit, and {
tmil together until the sugar penetrates !
the tomato. Then take out tlie tomato, j
spread it in thin pieces on dishes, make
them quite flat, and dry them in a mod
erate stove oven. Roll them in sugar,
occasionally, while drying. Pack them
in boxes on white paper sprinkled with
tmwdered sugar. Boil the syrup till
quite thick, and flavor with lemon and
ginger ; keep it for future use. These are
better made now, by tlie use of tlie Mod
ernjfruit drying Machines.
Pine-apple Preserve.—H ave tlie
piue-apples ns ripe as you can kct them :
pare, and cut them into thin slices:
weigh them, and allow one pound of
double-reQned suptar to each pound of
fruit. Take a porcelain preserving-ket
tle and in itpntalavcrof fruit and sugar
alternately, putting sugar on the top ;
let it stand over night. In the morning,
take out the fruit and boil the syrup
until it is clear ; whilst it is boiling hot,
pour it over the fruit and let it stand
uncovered until perfectly cold. Then
put it into glass jars or tumblers, and
cover by pasting paper over the top.
Hard Soar.—T ake 6 lbs. of sal soda
and 3 lbs. of unslacked lime; put them
into an iron or stone vessel, turn over
them four gallons of boiling water, and
let it stand over night. In the morning,
drain off the water, and boil it with 0 lbs.
of tallow. When the water is drained
off, turn another gallon of water on the
undissolved lime and sal soda; stir it up
and allow it to settle. If the soap does
not make after boiling a short time, try
a little in a saucer, putting in a little of
the water off the lime; if the soap needs
the water, put it in. After it boils up
thick, turn it oat in one or two wash
tubs, pans, or anything you prefer. Just
before it gets cool enough to break, stir
in 2 oz. of oil of sassafras; let it stand
over night, and next morning cut in
cakes and lay on boards to dry.
PhiLosorniES in Cooking.—A wri
ter in the American Ou tivator says :
The various processes of cooking often
détermina both the taste for food and its
ultimate beneficial effect on the system.
In the case of animal food, whatever
renders its fiber harder, makes the meat
less digestible ; the flesh of young ani
mals, or those that have never been over
worked, is easily distinguished from that
of older, tougher Cattle. Keeping tends
very much to improve the tenderness of
meat. Few animals are fit to be eaten
the day they are killed,and yet, for the
lack of a supply of ice and other conven
iences of trifling cost and trouble, im
uiensequantitiesof tough and unfit meat
are annually consumed in country places.
By the action of salt on lean meat,a con
siderable quantity of the natural juices
and flavor is extracted and absorbed,ren
dering the fiber harder, drier and more
indigestible. Occasionally salt meat is
agreeable, but as a regular article of
diet, it is objectionable, since the intro
duction of so much salt into the system
is prejudicial to health, lessens the relish
for food, induces cravings for fluids.pro
duces indigestion and skin disease. Fats
form an exception; they have no water
to lose, hence salt makes them uo hard
er. and in fact, fat pork is rendered
more digestible by salting and will digest
quicker than fresh pork, while beef, long
salted, requires two hours longer for di
gestion than roast fresh beef.
In boiling, beef loses .15 of its weight ;
roasted, .20; boiled mutton shrinks .10,
and roasted .24; fowl cooked by boiling
.13, and they show .25 loss by roast ing.
boil meat properly, it should he
ilunged at once into boiling water; if in
tended for soup,use cold water and grad
ually heat it. Boiled meat eaten with
out. the soup formed in boiling.loses part
of its nutrition. Broiling meat seals up
the pores through which the juices might
escape. Boast meat is mere digestilde
than boiled, because the coating on the
outside, produced by sudden contact
with great heat, retains the savory and
soluble elements. Frying is most objec
tionable, and unless handled with great
skill, it not only renders the meat harder
and more indigestible, but it imbues it
with boiling fat and destroys the flavor.
No meat diet is so economical as the
preparation of soups and stews, since
even shin-bones, broken up, have a nu
tritive value of one third that of beef in
carbon and one-sixth in nitrogen.

In presenting the boy's Automatic Kvapoii
atoh wc have only to sav in describing it that
if, consists sirupiy of a series ol' Patent
Sieves, so constructed ns to form a perfect com
bination of Trays und Dry House, in
our Automatic Hot Am Governou beneath
tho lower Sieve, which distributes the hot air
currents perfectly in alt parts of the Evaporator,
Always working automatically by the uction of
tho heated air, rising from the furnace. The
only invention of the kind on Earth.
No more "gluts" in markets, or catting down
trees because they don't pay. Every basket ot
peaches may now lie liarvestod at a fair profit,
w hielt are usually lost for want of means to
preserve them (dried), cheap and rapidly
enough to control the markets < lining tho
Pencil season. , „
It is a well-known fact that every pound of
nicely Evaporated Pouches can be sold every
year, and if cheap, practical Evaporators of
targe capacity could lie liuil at tlie proper
time, every peach farm could be made to pay
a good income to the owners.
A boy, 18 years old, has recently invented ami
obtained Letters Patent for tills new principle
in Evaporators, doing away with ALL costly
machinery at one blow, and making a com
plete Evaporator, overcoming all tlte difficulty
of uneven drying, costly buildings, and want
of capacity, so common in all other machines.
This Evaporator works automatically, giving
•feet even circulation ot the boated air in
put ts of the Evaporator. THE ONLY HOT
It GOVERNOU IN EXISTENCE.
Sold only by our authorized Agents.
Down with high prices, slow, expensive and
uneven Drying Muohincs.

seen at all times at the Stove Store of Willi
Gray & Company, Milford, Del.
OU It PRICES
Hereafter will lie $3 per basket, per day (24
hours), for all sizes of Evaporators; (peeled
pouches) counting full guaranteed capacity of
Evaporator for one day—thus 100 basket ma

Evaporators. Every Evaporator guuruntccd
