We apprehend that corporate bodies may well take this matter in consideration, with the view of removing and utilizing sewage, and we have no doubt with skill in management, it may be made directly or indirectly to repay all cost. Certainly in point of health, the repayment must be large.Herkimer County Farmers On Losses In Farming—Necessity Op Good Seed And A Good Seed-bed—Losses In The Application Of Manures, &c. There was quite a large gathering of the farmers' club, Herkimer county, at Little Falls, Coach Factory Outlet on January 8th, to discuss the question of losses in farming.Mr. Whitman said, before taking up the question for the day he would like to read a letter recently received from Levi Robbins, of Lewis county, in regard to some experiments made this year with the potato crop. Mr. Robbins commenced by stating there was very little rain in the vicinity of Copenhagen from the last of July until the potato crop was harvested. Consequently the crop was cut short, probably one-quarter, on that account.The Harison potatoes grown by Mr. Robbins were the second crop from five pounds of seed, and, notwithstanding the season was so unfavorable, gave a product of over 300 bushels.Mr. Robbins states that according to his experience with the above variety, he is satisfied that in a Coach Outlet good season with suitable ground and proper culture, 100 bushels can be raised from one bushel of seed. Indeed the first crop was at a rate more than this; and had the second crop yielded in proportion to the seed planted as did the first crop, there would have been 600 bushels. One large potato of this variety used as seed the past season produced 131^ pounds of good sized potatoes, or two bushels and eleven and a half pounds. -He thinks the quality of the Harison's to be equal to the early Goodrich for table use.Mr. Bobbins speaks of the yield of one kernel of oats which came by chance in one corner of his garden, amounting to 2,834 grains. The variety, he says, differs from any he has seen.At the opening of the discussion, Mr. Lewis referred to the losses sustained by farmers in allowing cattle to become lousy, and several remedies were given by different members of the club for freeing cattle from this pest. Unguentum rubbed on the edge of the stanchion or put on a woolen string and tied about the neck. Hay dust, tobacco smoke, &c, being recommended.Necessity Of Pulverizing The Soil Foe Chops—Importance Of Good Seed, &c. Hon. Josiah Shull, Coach Outlet Store Online of Ilion, touched upon the losses in farming, resulting from the use of poor seed, and an imperfect preparation of the soil where crops were to be grown. If soils in which there is a large proportion of clay be plowed when they are wet, or if they are worked in that condition, it will be found very injurious.The lands bake and crack and a large amount of labor will be insufficient to pulverize the soil so that there will be a good seed bed for any crop. It was better to work the soil later; to wait perhaps a little out of season if the land then will be in good condition. Many times wet weather in May makes it almost impossible to put in crops unless the soil be worked when it is too wet. The result is a poor yield, generally not half a crop. The seed is not sufficiently covered and from having a hard poor seed bed the plants dwindle away or die out. The losses then from this source are very considerable. In gravelly and sandy soils there is not much danger from baking. Gravelly soils can be worked soon after rains without the injurious effects Coach Outlet Online referred to.Mr. Shull thought the proper pulverization of the soil for grain to be a most important thing in farming. When badly prepared, a poor crop was sure to follow, and the losses from this source were much greater than most people imagine. By a little observation and attention most of the leaks in farming from this source could be avoided.In preparing the ground for potatoes, on gravelly soil, he had found good results by plowing under well decomposed manure, then cross[Ao.] 35plow the land and go over with a cultivator, and the manures are well incorporated and mingled with the soil, and good crops obtained.
