one day’s trial, Plow may he held

Something New! The Coming Plow! 
The New Remington Carbon Clipper 
Enters upon its second year with a reputation never before achieved by any other Plow in a single season. Probably no 
manufacturer ever put out a Plow that from the start was so favorably received, or that was so perfect in its construction. 
Our first year’s sales are unprecedented, both for the large number of Plows sold, and the uniform expressions of praise 
from every farmer who has used one. We claim for the New Remington Clipper Patent Carbon Metal—Improved 
Jointer with Steel Blade—Anti-Friction Landside—Changeable Shin—Perfection in Shape—The Lightest Weight—Easiest 
to Handle—Lightest Draft and Steadiest Running of any Plow in the Market. Send for Prices.

years, articles and illustrations are sel¬ 
dom repeated, as those who desire in¬ 
formation on a particular subject can 
cheaply obtain one or more of the hack 
numbers containing what is wanted.

culturist,” containing desired articles, or 
those referred to in the “Basket” or 
elsewhere, can usually be sent post-paid

Clubs can at any time be increased by remitting for 
each addition, the price paid by the original members; 
or a small club may be made a larger one at reduced rates, 
thus: One having sent 5 subscribers and $6, may after¬ 
wards send 5 names more and $4, making 10 subscribers

Ants in a lawn. —A correspondent at Osborne, 
Kansas, advises sinking glass tumblers, with perpen¬ 
dicular sides, in the soil near the ant-hills. He states 
that the ants fall into these traps in great numbers, and. 
being unable to get out, may be readily destroyed. 
Devons or JTerseys.— “ G. W. H.,” Ohio. The 
Jerseys have been much better tested for butter than, 
have the Devons, so no perfectly fair comparison of the 
two breeds as butter producers can be made. The milk of 
the Devons is rich in butter, and often very abundant, but 
the butter very pale. Thirty-quart cows occur occasion¬ 
ally, and yet wecannqt find any accurate statement of the 
amount of butter which has been given by famous cows. 
Jerseys have been known to give over three pounds a 
day. The color of the butter varies greatly, but it is 
generally yellow, and of a firm and excellent quality. 
The “Pussley” Question.— A subscriber, 
“ J. M. H.,” West Salem, Wis., writes us an interesting- 
letter on Purslane or “Pussley.” Having fought this 
weed for many years without being able to get ahead of 
it, it has occurred to him that a plant that so persists in 
growing, may have some useful qualities, indeed, may 
be more of a benefit than an injury. He asks if it does 
not derive most of its material for growth from the air, 
and if its benefits as a mulch, and the return of vegetable 
matter to the soil may not more than offset any injury it 
may do to the crops, especially as it only appears at mid¬ 
summer, when the hoed crops are well established. 
These questions are of interest to nearly all cultivators, 
and we should be glad of any facts bearing on them. 
Destroying Ants. —A correspondent in Dakota 
Terr., writes us that if kerosene be poured upon the 
nests, it will at once kill all the ants it touches, and that 
the rest will leave for other parts on short notice. 
Trees in Dakota. —“M. W. P.,” writes us from 
Sioux Fails, a most encouraging account of the trees 
that have been recently planted there. He regards the 
White Ash as the best suited for planting, as it is sure 
to live, grows rapidly, and makes a handsome tree. He 
says: "Thisprairie country is now looking finely with 
its groves, we are planting many fruit trees, as well as 
currants and other small fruits ; the apple trees are full 
of fruit, notwithstanding some say that this is not a 
fruit country. Send your young men out here.” 
Hauling Wheat in Washington Terri¬ 
tory. —“M. E.,” Walla Walla, writes us; “I am now 
hauling my wheat, and find it lightens my labor very 
much, to fill my sacks only half full. I twist the upper- 
end of each sack, and set the lower row mouth up. For 
the top course, X twist the end of each sack, and place it 
bottom side up. This saves labor in handling heavy 
sacks, and avoids the trouble of tieing or sewing them. 
The Death of “Johnnie Cope” is reported; 
his age is not given, but his weight was 2,500 lbs. 
“Johnnie” was a noted Clydesdale stallion, and ex¬ 
tremely beautiful. We saw him several years ago in Il¬ 
linois, when he weighed only 2,300 lbs. To see this 
enormous creature out at exercise and play, was a most 
remarkable display of horse-flesh. With his great size, 
he had all the playf ulness of a young colt, and he capered! 
about with a clumsy grace, most pleasing to behold-
