THE HURON EXPOSITOR. 7` - Farm News dna Notes ”s One who knows" makei `it- a -point to select a cow with a yellow ,skin. One whose skin is pale or ,€olorless is not, he says, half so like- ly to produce good . batten -1—A_ small or moderato sired tree at the ;transplanting will usuallybe a large bearing tree sooner than a large c tree .set out at the same time, and which .is necessarily checked in growth by moves. More than half the truly great men; who have lived ,long •enough to conquor the ambi- tions of early life, ended their days in agricultural pursuits.—A hund- red and forty-two bankrupts went into court in one month. Three were farmers.—During the month of March nearly 600,000 pounds of grain were shipped from Marysville, Oilifornia, to points over the mot -in - :tains in Utah and Nevada. The latt authentic reports of the growth of cereals in Europe are not unfavorable. - - Several California .journals have called attention to the importance of taking precautions& to prevent the spread of fire through the extensive grain fields of the San ,Joaquin. Valley, and it is said now that many of the fahnels intend to .cut hay in strips round'their fields and plough up the strips ' A Prairie Farmer .correspondent finds .a sure cure for the striped bug in paris-green and calcined plaster, in the proportion of one of the former to 15 of the latter. - According to :an entomological authority, spiders, without exception, inark you, prey largely upon insects, and chiefly upon the plant -feeding or injurious inseeits.-----In Great Britain the tluty1 payable_ for each dog is.' five shillings, and the penalty for keep- ing a dog without a license iS five- pounds. The above tax yielded last year a revenue of more than one and a half million dollars. The number of cattle in Maine has decreased since 1860 more than 88,- 000 head in consequence of the re- peated failure of the' hay -crop—a factwhich forcibly illustrates the great agricultural importance of grass. Prof. Geo. Ville's corn- 1)lete chemical fertilizer "—for a ro- tation of wheat, beets, barley, and peas—consists of 488 pounds nitrate .of soda, 132 pounds quicklime, 352 pounds carbonate of potash, 352 pounds phosphate of lime. ` A .correspondent of the h'ew-Eizglancl Farmer considers it a disgrace to Yankee ingenuity that " The Per- fect Ditcher " has not yet been in- Vented. The Maine farmer' who, tempted by high prices, disposed of part of his hay last fall, and " econo- mized" to make up the deficiency, sold 17 hides this spring. -For covering outbuildings or heaps of -stones or unsightly objects of any sort, plant Wisteria _honeysuckle, clematis, or Clinton grape. in the absence of these, the common cypr-ess, :uloining-glory, or the wild hop vine answer a good purpose. whole list of farm stock and farm products. The farmer's life is pass- ed in overcomitlgi the universal tendency to revert to the wild type, and to produce a more and more im- proved or artificial type. No Un- improved child of nature can hold place with theproduct of nature, improved and modified by art. The natural horse would be of little ser- vice to society. The natural grasses produce far less then. the improved ones. Dogberry said that reading and writing; come by nature. The modern Dogberrys of our agricul- tural community are as wise as he, in ascribing 21- tons of hay per acre, or 250 pounds of butter per cow, to the same fertile source of modern civilization. The question for the farreer:is not what is natural, but rather what further deniation`froni -natural con- ditions will be judicious and pro- fitable. -When nature produces, a Jersey cow ;or an Essex pig, it will be time for farmers to square their operations by the " natural" rule. Of course it is understood that only failure can result from an effort ted oppose nature, and that beneficial art consists' only in causing natural processes to produce better results than they could do without man's - aid. We do not hesitate to assert our belief that both steaming food for cattle and soiling them are in entire conformity with this require- ment. fel Tales of Toads. Geo. M. - Mead states his ex- perience with - toads in the Ohio Acu•nser. Unless their skin is brok- en they are perfectly harmless. They will eat any hug but the potato bug. In Pittsfield, Mass., I had an uncle, one of the finest gardeners in the town, and he to the no little amusement of friends, used to pick up those venemous toads. in -his hands, wheneveik he could find nice fat ones, carry -them home and put them in his .,garden to catch the bugs and worms. He said to me one dey-: `They will become quite tame if you pet them a little.". I thought that a Little singular, but concluded to try its When I went home I. found one in the ,.shed close to the kitchen and commenced. At first I caught a bug or fly and stood: 'as far off as I could and dropped it down in front of my pet. I did not have long to 'wait, for the bug had hardly dropped, before he disappear- ed. Each day I went to see and feed him, andwent up closer, .until he got so tame that.le would at any time take : -a bug or fly out of my fingers. I then began to handle hirr, and If I chanced to move .him from -his nice. little Corner he would go back there and seem to wait for me to conte and see him. Dr. Harris said . 20 years ago that he supposed the odor of the. squash bug (coreus ristis) would protect it from the toad:; and to test the matter he offered one to a grave= looking Bufo under a cabbage. He seized it eagerly, but spit it out in- ta ritl. reared -u on his hind legs s€ y, p � and put his front -feet .on the top of his head for an instant, as if in pain, and then disappeared : across the g arden in a series of the greatest leafs a totti evermade. Perhaps the. bug bit the biter. Not satisfied with this, Dr. Harris hunted up an- other toad, which lived under the piazza, aad always 'sunned himself in one place in the grass, and of- fered hive, a squash bug, which he took and swallowed, winking in a very satisfied manner. • Twenty other fine bugs_ followed the first, in a few moments, with no difficulty ur hesitation in the taking or.. the swallowing, thotigh from the wrig- glirg ad. contortions it - appeared their corners dict not set well with- in. in. The stock of bugs being hen exhausted, a colony of smooth black,. larvae waS found en a whitebirch, each about three quarters of an inch long, and over 100 of these were fed to the waiting toad. Touching one of then. with the end of a straw, it would coil around it, and then w -hen shaken before him be would seize and swallow it, at first eagerly, but with diminished zest ss the number increased' until it beca.me necessary to rub the worm against his hps for some time before he .could decide about it. - He would then take it and sit with his lips ajar for a short time, gathering strength and resolu- tion, and then swallow by a des- perate aerate -effort. There is no telling c "what the nu€nUer car result would have been, as the • dinner -bell rang 'as the 101st disappeared. and by the close of the meal he had retired to his hole, nor did he appear for four days in his sunning place.- It is to be hoped that he slept well, but there might have been nightmares. Nonsense AbOUt Nature." II ecru& ' - and Holme says some sensible 1 things to those persons who � pass their lives in doubting the value of all improvements. One man - would like to steam food for his stock if he could be sure it did not "clash with nature ; " another wants to try soiling, but thinks pasturing " more in accordance with nature," and so on, ad infinitum. Is the natural standard, then, to be the one by which we are to shape oar farriug? Shall we burn our barns, neglect to save our hay, and - •drive our herds to the South as Winter collies on, and to the North when Spring opens? The natural cow is a lean, raw- boned suffering ruminant; chased up and down the earth by the changing seasons, giving scanty . nourishment to a small calf, and struggling for - ba.re existence and the perpetuation Of her species. A hundred such would be worth to us about the value of their hides. The artificial cow—the farmer's cow—is a product of the widest possible departure from natural conditions. Larger, in . bet- ter flesh, with immensely increased tendency to produce milk, less able to contend against severe cold, less. Summer, fitted to fight the flies: of - Susi€ler•, taught to thric=e in the most quiet life, and tirade capable of assimilat- ing faimoire than natures scanty ..supply of food. Within certain limits she is still a child of: nature ;". she will not eat pleat nor will she drink wine, but ° the more/ yaluab'le she is for man's uses, the more is she benefited by man's artificial • treat- ment, : proyided it be at the same date wise ani d . j udiclous treatment. What treatment is judicious; ex- perience has taught us and is teach- ing 11S. In Winter - we house her snugly, give her water not too cold, .cut her hay and grind her grain, and cook these both, give her a warm bed to lie - on, and a daily grooming, and she thrives as no cow ever did thrive unaided by the husbandrnan's .art. In Sunnier we shelter her from the sun's rays, shut her away ._y -from the swarms of gnats, and bring he: more, and better food from an acre of ground than she could browse from a. whole mountain -side.. - : The cow is'an illustration of the Black Bear NEW IS ECEIVING ¶PRING GOODS - TO BE SOLD AT OLD PRICES.
