Will ho sent FR I'E to all who write forit. Itlsa Hnndaomc Rook of 1 20 pnges. hundreds of 
beautiful new illustrations. two I 'oleircd Plate*, ami tells all about the best Kurin anti Garden 
Seed*,including I UPORTAN I' Novelties of Renl .Merit. Farmers, Market Gardeners, and 
farmers; neither am I prepared to believe 
that farmers should work aud support the 
starving millious of fellow beings, without 
proper compensation; but I do think that 
thousands of farmers fail to reap the deserved 
reward for their labor, through the want of 
applied busiuess rules and calculations, I 
confess that I fail to see why J. L. should pre¬ 
fer to raise 190 bushels instead of 500 bushels 
of potatoes per acre I would like to surpass 
even the most wonderful yield of the Rural, 
aud would ask him if it would not be better 
to raise 500 bushels per acre at 10 cents or 
even less, than 150 bushels at 25 cents; the 83- 
1 3 per cent in favor of the 500 at 10 ceuts 
would certainly go far towards paying for 
extra labor and mauure; then if he should 
happen to get 25 cents per bushel for the 500 
bushels, it would surely pay for a good deal 
of extra labor, as well as a reasonable quantity 
of commercial fertilizer. I can’t see how dear 
or cheap laud should affect the question of 
profit in the use of commercial fertilizer, ex¬ 
cept insomuch as with dear laud a large yield 
is a necessity for any profit at all, while with 
cheap land a large yield is nearly all profit; 
in both,the preparation, tilling and harvesting 
would be the same, J. L. should “go in’’ for 
the 500 bushels per acre; there will be no 
danger but the majority will dig less than 150 
busheh. 
M. H. Brownell, Tomhannock, N. Y.— 
In a late Rural the question was asked how 
long should a rooster of any particular breed 
run with a lot of hens before the eggs of the 
latter would produce chicks resembling the 
cock. I have thoroughly tested this matter 
for my own satisfaction several times, and do 
not hesitate to say that if the rooster is active 
aud there are not too many bens isay.uot over 
six to eight) five days will be long enough. I 
once bought a flue hen and put her iu my 
yard with my fowls. She mated with my 
rooster (a Buff Cochin) immediately. She had 
laid in the morning before I bought her; and 
before that time had laid about half of her 
litter. She continued to lay right along— 
laying the next day, and the next, and so on, 
until she had laid seven eggs. I marked these 
and set them. The first two produced chicks 
with no feathers on their legs, plainly resem¬ 
bling the rooster she formerly had mated 
with, which was of a breed entirely different 
from the hen, aud also from my rooster. The 
other five eggs produced chicks of a different 
color, with feathers on their legs, resembling 
my Cochin fowls. The chickens were so dis¬ 
tinctly marked that there was no chance to 
doubt that the egg laid on the third day after 
the hen was placed with my rooster, produced 
a chick from him. 
M. P. C , Scranton, Pa.—I n the answer to 
“Uber,” in the Rural for July 2(5, pp. 482, 
Vov. XLL1L, concerning scythe-grinding, I 
think a mistake was made. There is no dif¬ 
ference in the manner of laying the steel in 
“full” or “half-set.” Iu both cases the steel 
lies between two layers of iron. This is neces¬ 
sary, otherwise there would be much difficulty 
in straightening after hardening. There is in 
this market now a “solid steel" scythe. Both 
kinds are practically the same, as there ure 
two grades of steel used; a very low grade 
being used in place of irou. Tue “solid steel” 
scythe is, withoutdoubt, a stronger and stiffer 
implement, and one that will take a higher 
finish. Iu all cases grind equally on both 
sides, otherwise the scythe will be soft, as 
there will be nothing but an iron edge. On 
“full sets” grind the straight side a long, roll¬ 
ing bevel. 
R. N.-Y.—We should say so; a bevel reach¬ 
ing clear to the back, or the edge would be so 
“stum” that uone but a giant could use it. 
D. R. M., Jamestown, N. Y.—Under the 
head of “Carry the News” 1 see what you say 
respecting the Johnson Grass, Cuba Gross, 
etc , as being hardy. If this grass is anything 
of the nature of the Quack it is too hardy for 
me. Will it not iu time become as great a 
nuisance as Quack! Some years ago 1 fivst 
discovered a small plot of Quack Grass on my 
farm; though not knowing at the time what 
it was, I come to the conclusion that l would 
kill it if possible; so I went to work aud dug 
the ground all over and picked out the roots, 
but l have not been able to completely eradi¬ 
cate it yet. I thiuk it worse than Canada 
Thistle. 
R. N. Y.—We cannot have everything in 
one grass. If Johnson Grass proves to be 
thoroughly hardy in the North, and suited to 
our climate, as we hope it may, we can well 
afford to raise it, evou though very difficult 
to get rid of when once established.
