Agronomick.
As frcfpient. careful and practical field
trials arc very much needed in the pres
ent agricultural condition of the country
I will offer one for your very many read
crs. I think the exhortation to “try all
things, hold fast that which is good,"
would prove well if applied to the cul
turo of our lauds, though intended by
the great Apostle lor progress in religion.
Now, while the farmers are busy sow
ing wheat, I will propose to them to
pound, very fine, four bushels of char
coal, and mix with it four bushels ol
ashes; if leached add six, and then sixty
pounds of salt. Mix and stir several
times, ai leust three weeks before use,
and keep under a dry shed, and sow
broad cast in the spring, as a top dress
ing for one acre of wheat, ju.-t as it be
gins to start up from the ground, as that
is perhaps the time the wheat midge, or
fly, is at work.
1 would be glad if every farmer would
try this, or other experiments, and re
port results. In their reports they should
describe the soil and conditions —that is,
wliat crop last made, and manner of cul
ture, the time of sowing, how much
wheat, how deep put in, and time of
harvesting, and state the yield in bush
els, and the weight of one bushel.
Don’t bo afraid to try this, or some
othor experiment because you see it in
print. 1 know it is good for wheat. The
charcoal will, by hardening the straw,
prevent the injury from rust, to a very
great extent, and salt and ashes drive
away a great many insects that prey upon
growing plants. I have observed places
sowed in wheat, where oharcoal was mace,
though many years belore, and just
around, the wheat struw was clean und
bright, while the rest of the field was
nearly ruined with rust.
Nov. 15, 1877. Agricoi.a.
“Trot, I Say.” —She was searching
over the golden leaves which the frosts of
October had detached from the stiffened
twigs. It was on Montcalm street. Her
auburn hair took on the glint of gold as
the iir ght sun streamed down over the
chimney and roof and tree top, and ten
der lines around her mouth deepened as
she whispered:
“Oh! golden leaves, your life is typi
cal of ’’
At that moment her mother came down
to the gate, sleeves rolled up, and her big
red hands hiding the view of the back
yard.
“Pawing over them loaves again, ar'
ye!” she excl. imed, as she caught sight
of tho sentimental maiden. “Well, now,
you trot in hero and wash out tho rest o’
thorn colored clothes, or I’ll paw you, I
will."
“Ye , mother, dear, but these gold
en —"
“Trot, I say! Good bar soap is the
goldingest thing in market, and u wash
board costs more money than all the
yaller leaves on the street.”
And the gentle maiden trotted.
A Lock Haven woman pretended to
faint away in a crowd in order to hear the
comments of the men. One of the men
yelled out, “Oh! what an enormous
foot!” and the lady eame to and to kick
him.
Two months ago they hung over the
gate an hour. Such nights as these they
smack, shiver and away he goes on a dog
trot.
