AGRICUL TTJRJLL.
Selling Corn.
Sell no corn in the ear, have all you
tell shelled. A hand shelling machine
will answer if vour cron is'n small one.
If large, get one "to be worked by a
horse- power. Neither will cost a great
tietu, ami we are very certain mat me
cob.?, if crushed, steamed, and fed to
Tour cattle, will be worth more to you
in a single winter than the price of a
eorn-sheller, whether you get a small
or larce one. -We believe there ia one-
third as much nutriment in a bushel
of cobs as there is in a bushel of grain,
and we do know that cows or oxen fed
upoirthree pecks of the steamed or
crushed cobs, in addition to the usual
quantity of hay, or tops of fodder, will
keep fat. Then why haul your cobs
to market to be given away? It costs
as much to carry a bushel of cobs to
the market as it uoc a bushel ot corn.
Shell your corn, leave your cobs at
home to nourish your cattle, 'and
through them your land; and where
you now sell one bushel of corn, you
will be able to transport two for the
same money. Look this subject fairly
i i the face, consult economy, consult the
comfort of your cattle, consult the
wauta of your soil, and you cannot fail
to take our advice. The above from
the American Farmer, states the cob
question rather strongly. There is, no
doubt, nutriment enough in the cob to
pay for crindine it fine, with the corn,
and'the price is usually enough better
to pay lor shelling; but the cob has
never been placed by analysis at more
than ten per cent of the value of the
grain. Live Stock Journal:
Indoor Caltnre ol Tomatoes.
The London Gardener's Chronicle de
scribes a method of raising tomatoes
within doors which it says has been
successful, and is worthy of general
adoption. The seed is sown about
Christmas, and by the first week in
March the plants arc set out against
the back wall of some of the- lean-to
vineries, in a good compost, with am
pie root-room. Here they make a
rapid and vigorous growth, and in the
course of the season attain to a height
of from ten to twelve feet, and produce
successful crops of fruit with great
profusion until past Christmas. In
this manner early and late tomatoes
are obtained from the same plants.
As a matter ot course the plants can
hardly bo-kept too moist, and a good
dressing of crushed bones is occasional'
ly given. The border in which the to
matoes are planted is only about fifteen
inches in width. The plants must be
well fed, but the wonderful crops they
bear is the- best testimony to the ad van
tage foF a liberal treatment. The
weight of fruit obtained from one plantJ
inaeeason is sometimes remarkable
and many of them attain a great size.
Horses and mules in use during cold.
frosty weather are liable to acute suf
fering by having naked iron bits thrust
into their .mouths, lhe moment
frosty bit is put into the mouth
it is pretty sure to stick fast, and with
the least possible movement or change
of position tear the tender skin of the
mouth or tongue. I have known
horses (that I suppose have sufiered in
this wayj. when about to be bitted
to open wide their mouths as if to pre-
vent their lips and tongue rrem coming
in contact with the cold bit With a
little trouble we may prevent much of
this suffering. Liet us all take care to
have the iron bits nicely covered with
gum cloth.leatheror muslin, something
pleasant to the mouth, and that will
prevent the iron bit coming in contact
with the nesh ol the animal. W arm
ing.thebit'by the fire or holding it in
the hand may answer, but this requires
time and attention, and in cold weath
er, and perhaps hurry, is very apt to
be neglected. A bit once permanent
ly covered may last all winter. Uor.

German Harness.
One of the most marked contrasts
between the German and American
draft harness is the manner in which it
is made up, the stitching being done
with leather thongs, and m some cases
when the harness are high-priced, the
stitching is ingenious and ornamental
two styles or stiches are used one
the single or front stitch, the other the
chain or back stitch. The leather for
thongs is made expressly for this pur
pose; is alum-tanned, is clear, white,
and soft, and can by dyed any desired
color, but tho principle ones used are
red and blue. When well made, this
leather is very tough, and when cut
into very long thongs is not easily bro
ken. The -usual width of thongs is
one-Iourth ol an mcb, but lor ornamen
tal work they are cut as high as one
sixteenth of an inch, these heing used
lor forming flowers and other ornamen
tal devices.
Fruit on the Farm.
Too many farmers, says the Agricu'
turist, neglect to provide fruit for their
families, while it is true that every
farm in the West would, with a little
care, furnish an abundant supply of
small fruit and apples,; yet how many
farms do we nnd that raises .a supply
for the family ol strawberries, rasp
berries, blackberries, grapes and cur
rants. Every -farmer expects to hav
them, perhaps next year, lhe won
derful fertility of the western soil, and
its special adaptation to fruits, is every
vear being more fully appreciated.
During the fruit Reason every citizen
of the cities and towns, from the richest
to the poorest, enjoys the blessings of
small fruit, and liave berries on their
tables the season through, from the
time tho strawberries ripen, followed
by the luscious raspberries, then the
more abundant crop ot blackberries
and grapes. The mechanic at his trade
enjoys these luxuries; yet how few far
mer are there who have them on thf ir
tables? and yet every farmer in the
land, could have them in his own gar-
den fresh every day but for the plant
ing and a little care and attention.
Not everyone can grow small fruit at a
profit, but that should not prevent ev
eryone troni growing enougli lor home
use.
Have plenty of fruit on the farm
and you will add one of the greatest
charms to rural life, and you will not
see all the young men fleeing to the
cities where they can get the abundance
of fruit they ought to have at home.
California's Wonderful Farmer.
A Sacramento paper says that Dr.
Hugh. J. Glenn, of Jacinto, Colusa
county, California, has raised and har
vested the past season, on his own
farm. G00.000 bushels of wheat. This
would load eighteen 1.000 ton shins.
or three hundred canal boats. All
! this wheat he has now in his own ware
house, ready foe shipment when the
water in the Sacramento river rises
sufficiently. The Doctor pays $90,
UUU lrcight to put his wheat in ban
Francisco. Ho is a wonder to the ag
ricultural world and to himself. He
runs ninety cans-ploughs, and a whole
county's population in the harvest
field, with a dozen threshers. His
farming is not confined to wheat alone,
He markets 8100 000 worth of stock
eacli3'ear. Dr. -Glenn is a practical
farmer, and manages all his immense
business himself, lie can mend
trace and make a key to an ox-bow
with Ins jack-knite, just as easy a3
'drawing his check for $100,000, which
he can do every day m the week. Dr.
Glenn was born in Augusta county,
Virginia, and does honor the "Old Do
minion.
Improvement of Clayey Soil.
One of the principal defects of clay
ey soils, esneciallv where thev rest un-
on a subsoil of the same nature, is the
excess of water which is held in them,
lhe only enectual way, in the ma
jonty ot cases, to get rid of this
is by thorough unrterd raining lhis
draws off bv imperceptible degrees all
the excess ot water, and opens the soil
to the tree admission ot the air, which
m its passage through it imparts
warmth and such lertihzmg gases as it
may contain. Upen drains or ditches
though less enectual, are uselul. In
some cas"es, water furrows, terminating
in some ravine or ditch, isrve a good
purpose. Limo is exceedingly useful
as an amenoraior oi ciayey sons, inuu
cing cnenucai comDinauons, me me
chanical effect of which is to brea;
up the too great tenacity of the clay.
while it adds, at the same time, an ele
ment of fertility which perhaps may be
wanting evpsum, or plaster ol 1'ans
has the same effect in a still more pow
erful degree. Ashes, coarse vegetable
manures, straw, leaves, chips, etc, are
also very useful, adding new materials
to the soil, and tending to separate its
E articles and destroy their strong co
eision. Clayey lands must never be
ploughed when wet. JSorth Uarolmum.

Never have the American bee-keep
ers been able to supply the market
with pure honey, lint the honey-

the means of filling all the wants and
their pockets at the same time. Here
is the recipe: Take one gallon of honey
and seven gallons of sugar syrup, mix
well and it is done. Some put the
mixture in glass jars with a few bits of
comb. Some use "glucose," a kind of

THE GRANGERS.
Some Pertinent nnd Sensible Succes
sion Lrtjni n jncniDcr or me oruer.
Beaver Dam, Ky.,
February 4, 1874. J
Editor Herald: Permit me thro'
your paper to make some suggestions
to the ratrons ot Husbandry, lhe
first year of our history as an order in
this county and estate is written, and
in the beginning of the new year let us
review our work, so that we may be
better prepared to act in the future.
Uur growth as an order is without a
parallel loUO Oranges in Kentucky
and 38 in Ohio county, all organized
in but little over a year.
last year was devoted to organiza
tion and discipline. This year we are
in a condition to begin to realize some
of tho benefits of the order. As the
Grange is intended as a school for the
farmer and his family, I would suggest
that every laudable means be used to
make the Grange attractive. As the
efficiency of any organization depends
greatly upon its omcers, and especially
this of ours, let me urge every of
ficer to be prompt in attendance on
their meetings, and faithfully dis
charge every duty assigned them es
pecially the lecturers. Your duties,
brethren, are responsible, and mueh ot
the interest ot the Orange depends up
on you. xou are expected to collect
information and lay it betore the
Grange.
You can make your meetings in
structive and interesting by appointing
some brother or sister to write or lee-
ture upon some given subject pertain
ing to Agriculture. Give them from
one meeting till the next to prepare
tnemseives, ana iei an mat aesire crit
i t t it .i i ' .
icise the theories advanced. Be par
ticular to call upon the meraliers for
short speeches especially the younger
memDcra. in inis way you gain in
formation, and develope talent that
would never otherwise be brought to
light.
At the last meeting ol the lxunci
at Hartford, one of thn, editors of the
Herald was before the Council, and
made some very liberal propositions
in regard to hw paper, They propose
devoting considerable space to the
U range mtercst.and other matters ot in
teresttous. Every Master was instruct
ed to lay the matter before his Lrrange.
JNow, brethren, let me urge upon you
to give the proposition a favorable con
sideration. Wc have successful far
mers who are capable of instructing us
who are less lavored. .bet us put our
Lecturers to work, and publish their
addresses iu the Herald, and we will
all be benefitted by it If our ortliog
raphy and grammar is not perfect, it
is no reason we should not try to im
prove. We have been too long con
tent to pay others to write and think
for us. Let us make a ""new depart
ure," and do more brain work for our
selves. Now, friendly printer, if you
can decipher these hieroglyphics, I
will be convinced of. your skill, and
take it as evidence that the Herald
will succeed. Lest I weary some one,
I will desist Fraternally Yours,
J. M. Rogers.
For the Hartford IUeai.d.
IN UNION THERE IS STRENGTH;
Adopting the above, or a similar
sentiment, as their motto, the farmers
of our country have formed themselves
into a common brotherhood believing
mat Dy so doing mey couia improve
their condition and advance their in
terests" as a class of colaborers. Hav
ing their organization jvell nigh com
plete, the questions very naturally arise:
What shall we do first? What is the
first evil to be corrected or improve
ment to Tie made? The answer to
these questions seems to be two-fold
buy as cheap as possible and sell at
the highest prices. The correctness of
this answer will bo readily endorsed,
but another question arises: How can
this be done? Here we will separate
the pro)ositions, and devote ourselves
for the present to tho consideration of
buying. As implements ot husbandry,
sugh as wagons, plows, harrows, culti-.
vators, reapers, mowers, &c., are of
the first importance to farmers, we will
investigate that particular class of pur
chases, and confine our suggestions to
the Grangers of Ohio county. Now,
wc have a subject to handle with some
very nice points, for we must not for
get that agricultural implements are
the product of labor against which no
blow is aimed. Then now is the far
mers' interest to be subserved by get
ting his implements at reduced rates
without militating against other classes
of labor? Simply by placing himself
in a position to buy at the cost of pro
duction, and this can be done by the
establishment of a factory in their
midst, accessible to all, without even
the cost of transportation. This prop
osition may appear somewhat wild at
first glance, but a little 6ober reflection
will show its reasonableness. Ohio is
a large county, with many farmers in
independent circumstances, and a small
surplus of funds that can be thrown
together, and form a joint-stock com
pany, to establish a factory that will
turn out all the implements used iu
this country. "With the facilities this
county affords, such as plenty of water,
great abundance of the best of timber,
cheap fuel, &c, there is no good rea
son why such an enterprise should not
be conducted as successfully here as auy
where else. "We will assume that fif
teen thousand dollars will be reqired to
start with, though a less amount might
suffice for a successful start. It will
be an easy matter for the farmers of
Ohio county to rake this amount.
Fifteen men, with a thousand dollars
each, or thirty men with five hundred
dollars, or one hundred and fifty men
with one hundred dollars, each, and
the work is accomplished. "We sup
pose there is no man who would argue
for a moment that there are not one
hundred and fifty men in the county
that could spare a hundred dollars for
such an.enterprise, nor do we suppose
any good reason can be given why this
class of goods should not be turned out
here as cheap as elsewhere. We don't
propose to do it cheaper, and this fact
may bring some one to the stand with
the question; How, then, is tho com
mon farmer to be benefitted? The an
swer is easy. First, it furnishes you
withgood3 at factory prices, cutting
offseveral commissions and transporta-
if I" 1 ? i " x! TTT1
uuus, -wiucn is quite an iiem in me dui
of purchases. Secondly, it furnishes
many a farmer an opportunity of buy
ing their implements with the products
of the farm. In going to the factory
to purchase any implement, a small
lot of timber may be taken along to
give in exchange for the thing needed,
or a little marketing may be taken in
exchange, for such a factory as here
proposed, will employ quite a number
of mechanics, and each one of them
will be a consumer and not a producer
of the products of the farm. Again,
a very great beneht, reaching all
classes of society, is derived from hay-
f A, . 1 . t. il -
ing me money inai is spent, ior mis
class of goods remain in our own coun
ty, to circulate, enliven and build it up,
instead of sending it abroad to enrich
other sections. The suggestions here
made, apply with equal force to many
other branches of business, and show
conclusively that the farmers of Ohio
county, by proper organization and
management, may become not only
self-sustaining, but a community as
independent and prosperous as need be
desired. Lac.
Au Industrious Spider.
A spider constructed its web in an ancle
of a garden, the sides of which were at
tached by long threads to shrubs at the
height of nearly three feet from the grav
el path beneath, .being much exposed to
the wind, the equinoctial gales oi this au
tumn destroyed the web several times.
The ingenious spider now adopted a new
contrivance, it secured a conical frag
ment of gravel, with its large end upward,
by two cordp, one attached to each of its
opposite sides, to the apex of its w edged -
shaped web, and lelt it suspended as a I
movable weight to be opposed to the el-
fect of such gnsta of air as had destroyed!
the webs previously occupving the same
situation. iue apiaer must nave uesceau-

the web; and pulling the weight up to a I
height ol more than two feet from the I
ground, where it hung. suspended by elas

printer of Cambridge, Mass., came over

a good old age, not a death' happening n

JL'Jrlffl ALDINE
THE ART JOURNAL OF AMERICA,
rSjrtDMOJTHLT.
SIAQ2TIFICANT CONCEPTION WON
DERFULLY CABBIED OUT.
The necessity of a popular medium forth
representation of the produeUons of our great
artists nas always neen reeognixea, ana many
attempts have been mad to meet the waat
The successive failures which have so invariably
followed each attempt in this country to estab
lish an art journal, did not prove the IndiSee
enee of the people of America to the claims of
high art. So soon as a proper appreciation of
the want and an aoiuty to meet it were shown,
the pnblio at once rallied with enthusiasm to
its support, and the result was a rreat artistfo
and commercial triumph THE A L DINE.
The Aldlna while issued with all of the regu
larity, has none of the temporary or trmtly In
terests ebaracteristio of ordinary periodicals.
It is an elegant miscellany of pure, light, and
graceful literature, and a collection of pictures,
the rarest collection or artutio, skill, in black
and white. Although each succeeding number
affords a fresh pleasure to its friends, the real
value and beauty oi The Aldirro will be most
appreciated after it is bound np at the close of
the year. While other publications may claim
superior cheapness, as compared with rivals of
aimuar class, J. no Aiaine is a unique ana
original conception alone and unapproacied
absolutely without competition in prloa or
character, me possessor oi a couplets vol
ume cannot duplicate the quantity of fine pa-
er ana engravings in any otner snaps or num
ier of volumes, far tm h'sws tls cost, and ties.

The national feature of The Aldine must bs
taken in no narrow sense. True art is cosmo
politan. While The Aldine is a stricUy Ameri
ran institution, it does not confine itself to the
peproduction of native art. Its mission is to
cultivate a broad and appreciative art taste, on
that will aisenminata on grounds oi intnnsio
merit. Thus, while pleadingbefore the patrons
of The Aldine, as a leading characteristic, ths
productions of. tho most noted American artists,
attention wil always be given to specimens
from foreign masters, giving subscribers all that
pleasure and instruction obtainable from horns
or foreign sources.
The artistie illustration or American scenery.
original with The Aldine is an important fea
ture, and its magniSeeat plates us of a siss
more appropriate to the satisfactory treatment
of details than can be afforded by any inferior
page. The judicious interspersion of landscape,
marine, figure and animal subjects, sustain an
unabated interest. Impossible where the scope
of the work confines the artist too closely to a,
single sty le of subject. The literature of- The
Aldine is a light and graceful accompaniment,
worthy of the artistie features, with only such
technical disquisiuons as do not interlers wita.
the popular interest of the work.
