with the floor about three or four feet below 
that of the drying room, and the packing room 
is under this. There is u door into the drying 
room for carrying the hops, which is reached 
by a set of stairs outside. The roof of the dry¬ 
ing room is from eight to twelve feet high, the 
higher the better,and the cowl or hood on top of 
it is about five feet high. It is made round and 
loose so as to be easily turned by the vane 
which is moved by the wind. The hood turns 
upon loose balls ns shown at Fig. 2. These 
balls are better to be made of cast iron, and 
the lower groove should have a bottom made 
of hoop iron for the balls to run on. The groove 
at the lower pa rt of the hood should also be 
fitted with hoop iron which reduces the fric¬ 
tion of turning, very much. At Fig. 2. is 
shown the construction of the upper part of 
the roof of the dry room, and of the hood, as 
well. Ais the vane, B the front of the hood 
which may be opeu or provided with slats 
like those of a blind. At C is the Buppoidiug 
post of the hood, which is fitted with an iron 
pin at the top upon which the hood bears as 
it turns. The hood should be made as light as 
possible for obvious reasons: two by four stuff 
is quite heavy enough; two by three might do> 
and the covering u ay be of half-inch cedar 
boards; or sail-cloth well paiuted with oil 
would make a good covering if it were laid 
upon a frame made of fence wire fixed to the 
frame. If it is desired to have a plain roof of 
one-third pitch, a cupola would have to be 
built on the top of it; this might be a conical 
one and surmounted with the hood as above 
described. But the high roof, as here shown, 
has many advantages over the low roof, es- 
pecially in the way of increasing the draft and 
securing better ventilation. 
JERSEYS AND ALDERNEYS. 
./. S. P., CentrevUle, 7a., Are Jersey and 
Alderney cattle allowed to “mix” in their 
native islands? Who imports' cattle di¬ 
rect from Alderney.' Are Alderney cat¬ 
tle admitted into the Jersey C, C. Register? 
Have Alderney cattle any Herd Book of their 
own? Are there really three distiuct breeds 
of Cbauuel Island cattle—Jersey, Alderuey 
and Guernsey? 
A ns. —On the Island of Jersey neither the 
cattle from Alderney nor elsewhere are al¬ 
lowed to “mix” with the Jerseys-, but the 
same precautions arc not supposed to be takcu 
ou the island of Alderney. There are very 
few cattle bred in the latter islaud, and wo 
know of no one who has imported direct from 
there. Alderney cuttle would not lie admitted 
to the American Jersey C. C. Register, as 
only cattle exported from the Island of Jersey 
and their descendants can l>e entered therein 
according to the constitution and by-laws of 
t he club. There is do Herd Book of Alderney 
cattle that we are aware of. The breed of cat¬ 
tle ou each island is distinct from the others. 
All the Channel Island cattle were originally 
eallod Alderneys, as those first imported into 
Ragland more than a centurv ago came from 
that island. Nearly as long ago the local leg¬ 
islature of the Island of Jersey prohibited the 
importation into the island of any foreign 
cow, heifer, calf or bull, and later laws have 
been equally stringent, and the Jersey is now 
especially sui generis. 
PLANTING CORN FODDER. ETC. 
C. IF. If, Campbell Hall, N. Y. —1. In plant¬ 
ing corn fodder for Winter use,how much corn 
should be planted per acre in drills three feet 
apart to produce the best results? 2. Should 
Kentucky Blue G rass be sown in Spring or Fall, 
and how much seed should be sown per acre? 
Ans. —We have got tfie best results from 
corn sown for fodder when the corn was so 
thinly seeded as to produce plenty of ears; then 
it was cut when best, fitted for cooking for the 
table. We have also heard of excellent re¬ 
sults obtained by others who have followed 
this plan. From one-half bushel to three 
pecks to the acre would Ik* abundant seeding, 
if the grouud is properly enriched and pre¬ 
pared for the best result: one-half bushel 
would lie ample if the seed is good. We 
are aware that, this will seem to many to be 
light, seeding, but the liest crop we have ever 
grown was raised when not more than one- 
half bushel of seed eoru was used. The corn 
grew very tall and formed ears abundantly. 
See also article ou this subject by Mr. A. B 
Allen, in this issue under “ Miscellaneous.” 2. 
Blue Grass maybe sowed at any time from 
October unt il February or even March. Wheu 
the grouud was covered w ith snow. Blue Grass 
has been sown broadcast, at the rate of say a 
bushel aud-a halt' of clean seed per acre, and 
early in Spring the seeds germinated. It should 
not be postured the th*st year, however. 
MISCELLANEOUS. 
N. A*. C ,, Green Print', Trim. —1. l have just 
finished washing my youug orchard of 4,(XX) 
apple, peach and plum trees with the follow¬ 
ing mixture:—live gallons of soft-soap, live 
pounds of ground sulphur, one pint of car¬ 
bolic acid, two quarts of salt, half a bushel 
l*' me. and one barrel of water; 1 let it. stand 
over-night and then thoroughly stirred it be¬ 
fore taking out each bucketful, and well 
stirred the contents of each bucket before 
applying the stuff to each tree; could I make 
*a better mixture by omitting any of the in¬ 
gredients? 2. Can I do better than to hunt 
for borers with the knife and wire in the 
Fall and wash the trees in Spring? 3. Will 
young oak and poplar sawdust make a good 
mulching for young trees and other plants. ? 
Ans. —We thiuk this mixture an excellent 
one, having used it (in differing proportions) 
for yearn, but many experienced pomologists 
would advise leaving out the carbolic acid, 
sulphur and salt as useless. 2. No. 3. We 
should not use it. 
If. M., Marian, .V. I"—1. Which is the 
best work on strawberry and raspberry cul¬ 
ture? 2. Where and at what price can 1 ob¬ 
tain six or seven spring-tooth cultivators? 
Ans. —If we were to answer conscientiously, 
we should say the columns of this journal. If 
von want to read several hundred pages of 
w hat you don't need to know for several pages 
Of what you do need to know-, then purchase 
books. E. P. Roe’s late and beautiful work is 
the l>est, It costs about $5. A little work by 
A. M. Purdy, of Palmyra, N, Y., that costs 
alHJUt 25 cents is about as practical and con¬ 
densed as any. 2. From J. M. Childs & Co., 
Utica, N. Y. They will give information 
us to prices. 
D. L. IK, Sprint/ Hill , Kansas. —1.1 sent you 
au apple by mail March 1, ’S3, did you re¬ 
ceive it? 2. How shall I manage my Niagara 
Grape seedlings after the appearance of the 
third leaf? 
Axs.—1. We do not remember receiving this 
apple. 2. Carefully transplant to soil rich and 
deep, having the plants about two feet apart 
in the rows. Place Deside each plant sticks 
about two feet long and half-au inch in diam¬ 
eter to which they may ding. Next Fall cut 
back to two buds, but only allow the stronger 
to grow the next Spring. 
0. H. T. t New London, Minn. —1. Is the 
Gale Sulky Harrow Co., of Detroit. Mich., a 
reliable firm? Is the spring-tooth sulky harrow- 
advertised by them as good a corn cultivator 
as they claim? 2. Can gooseberries be grown 
from cuttings like currants? 
Ans.—Q uite trustworthy. We have been 
using this harrow for the past two seasons 
Iwth as a harrow and as a corn cultivator, by 
taking out two of the teeth, aud it has given 
us complete satisfaction. 2. Yes. 
f». B., Clermont, Pa .—Would grapes grow 
and mature up here in the mountains where 
the thermometer sometimes goes down 20 de¬ 
grees below zero? Is this a good selection—Con¬ 
cord. Prentiss. Brighton and Moore’s Early? 
Ans.— We have no doubt the kinds you 
mention will thrive with you. We have never 
tried the Premiss, however, and cannot speak 
from experience. You might lay over the 
canes for Winter and cover lightly w ith ever¬ 
green boughs or something of the kind. 
Cl. P. T., Mason Co., Mich.—l. Does the 
color of the wood of the Wheatland Peach 
differ from that of any other Peach? 2. How 
can the seedling Geranium in the F. S. Distri¬ 
bution be distinguished? 
Ans.— 1. As we have not the Wheatland 
Peach w e cannot answer. Perhaps our read¬ 
ers may. 2. It looks something like a dark 
brow n out, though smaller. We do not recog¬ 
nize the seed iu your further inquiry. 
II. IF., no address .—Who makes a corn 
planter that w ill plant more than one row at 
the same time ? 
Ans. —Two-horse planters plant two rows. 
They are made by the Farmers’ Friend MTg 
Co., Springfield, O.; the Evans and Foos MTg 
Co., Springfield, Ohio, aud the Wayne, Ag’l 
Works, Richmond, Ind.
