By D. A, M.
Barley. —Among the several varieties
of barley distributed by the Department,
the Chevalier and the Thanet, the latter
anew variety, seem to have given very
general satisfaction. Mi-. 0. H. Sweet,
of Onondaga county, New York, says, in
‘regard to twe varieties tested by him :
The first Saxony barley received from
the department was planted in the spring
of 1370, and yielded thirty bushels to
the acre, the condition being unfavora
ble. The product was planted in the
spring of 1871, and the yield was a trifle
less than sixty bushels per acre. * *
* * * One experiment with
Chevalier bailey was made precisely the
-'rkmo as with the Saxony; the yield
;>vas a little larger, grain a shade better.
’Barley raised by me heretofore yields
about forty bushels per acre. The Chev
alier took the premium at our county
fair.
In Bremer county, lowa, the Chevalier
yielded at the rate of sixty bushels per
acre.
In Esmeralda county, Nevada, the
Brewers' Delight yielded seven ty-two
and one half bushels from one acre, care
fully cultivated The crop would aver
age forty bushels from one acre. A cor
respondent in Lassen county, Californa,
says that the Beardless Barley yielded 20
per cent, more than the varieties common
to the county.
In Wright county, lowa, Thanet bar
ley yielded a little over the average, the
kernel being larger and finer than of
other varieti* s. This variety has also
succeeded well in Clayton county, and a
correspondent writing from Boons
county, pronounces it superior to any
variety ever raised in that part of the
country. lii Rockland county, Wiscon
sin, this barley, produced a crop about
equal to the seed sown. The product in
Richland county, Ohio, was seventeen
fold, notwithstanding a severe drought.
The secretary of the Farmers’ Club of
Marion county, lowa, notes a yield of
forty bushels per acre of the Chevalier,
and thinks that, with proper cultivation,
sixty bushels could be obtained. He
adds that this barley is pronounced su
perior to any other kinds grown there.
In Chemung county, New York, common
barley weighed forty-nine pounds per
bushel, and Saxonian fifty-six.
In 'Woodford county, Illinois, the
Saxonian was tried on four kinds of soil,
aud did best on clay, but owing to
drought it produced only half a crop,
it is said by the correspondent to be a
fine variety of two rowed grain, and that
it was pronounced by an experienced
brewer to be very superior for brewing
purposes. In Ottawa county, Michigan,
two quarts of this baric y produced two
and one-half bushels. It ripened early,
and is commended as well suited to that
climate. In Millard county, Utah, it
was planted late, but did well, beyond
all expectation.
Woman, Her Proper Shake in Rural
Labor.—No true wc nmn or sensible man
would advise a course tending to im
pair the delicacy of feeling natural to a
woman of refinement. Communion with
nature, with the heavens for shelter, and
the sun for warmth, has no such tenden
cy, though promotive of health and
cheerfulness, strength of muscle, and
elasticity of spirit. There is general
complaint of want ot opportunity for prof
itable employment of woman. There need
not be. Most of the prevalent education
of girls fits them only to be teachers of
primary schools, and a glut in the market
for common school teachers exists, and
rates of wages therefoie rule low. Yet
there are a few female teachers with sal
aries of SI,OOO, $2,000, and even $2,500.
Make education practical, suggestive, a
living reality, not a tiling that withers on
leaving school and dies with marriage,
and new- and congenial avenues of prof
itable efl’ort will be opened, and many
of them will lead into the country, and
be embowered in verdure, perfumed with
flowers, and enriched with luscious fruit
age. A school of horticulture for wo
men, theoretic and practical, is in opera
ation in Massachusetts in connection
with the Bussey Institution. Many have
taken a shoit cut to a horticultural edu
cation, and achieved success in practice.
A maiden lady in Southern Indiana
leased a few acres in fruit trees, which a
man had failed to cultivate properly, and
has been able to buy the place and hold
a surplus in cash. Such instances are
multiplying rapidly. Some women are
making a profitable specialty of flower
culture j flower farms for perfumes may
be next in order, i'he raising of certain
flower-seeds might furnish agreeable and
profitable employment. There is almost
endless variety in the specialties for
which a young woman may be practical
ly educated, in the culture of flowers,
seeds, fruiis, and vegetables. Poultry
keeping is profitable as a separate busi
ness when properly managed, but is safer
as an adjunct of the farm. Few are
aware of the impetus given to bee-keep
ing by tbe successful practice and edito
rial teachings of Mrs. E. S. Tapper, of
lowa, who is associated with Mrs. Save
ry, at Des Moines, in the rearing of Ital
ian queens.
Home-made Fertilizers.— Mr. J. C.
Farmer, Jonesborough, Georgia, states
that in February, 1870, he broke up fresh
laud, a sandy loam, with a one-horse
plow, and laid off three plots, of one
acre each, for cotton, with rows five feet
a part One plot was not manured; the
second plot received 200 pounds of a
mixture, sifted fine, and applied in the
furrow before planting the cotton ; tho
third plot received 300 pounds of same
mixture. The first plot yielded 600
pounds of seed cotton ; the second 1.000
pounds; the third, 1,4-10 pounds.
“Do iry and talk a little common
sense! ’ exclaimed a sarcastic young
lady to a visitor “Ob !” was tho reply;
“but wouldn’t that be taking an unfair
advantage of you ?"
