From the albany CultiUator,
Turning Stock to Grass.

r Unless compelled by scarcity of win
Ger food, we should not generally turn
Etock to pasture till the grass has started
go as to afford what farmers call ''a good
bite" If animals only get little grass,
and that Of watery and innutritious ma
ture, as the first growth generally is, it
takes away ,Ae appetite for other food,
without giving much nourishment in its
place. Besides, grass-lands, while in a
soft or unsettled state, are injured by being
trodden or poached by stock. This is.
perhaps, the greatest objection to turning
out early, or before the soil gets firm;
though sheep frcm their comparative light
ness, do much less injury than heavy
stock.
Clover end timothy are generally much
injured by early feeding. Red-top and
blue grass are more hardy, and from their
habits tends to unite the soil and make a
firm sod. On this account, soils set IN
these grasses may be pastured, if dry, at
almost any season, without much injury.
To check the too laxative tendency
which young grass sometimes has, it is
best to give stock a foJdering of hay at
night, for while after they are turned out;
and in case of storms, they should have
the benefit Of shelter.
Sheep may be pastured on rye for
shert time, if it is pretty forward, with
out injury TO the crop, and with very
great advantage tc the sheep, especially
TO nursing ewes. In the case of scar
city of other feed they may be turned on
dry meadows. If not too heavily stocked,
we do not think the yield of hay is much
iessoned by meadows being fed by sheep
I'LL the 18th or 20lh of May. The crop
is made later, but is usually finer and
thicker. Mr.. Y. Tilden, of Lebanon, n.
T.. an extensive wool grower, is in the
practice of pasturing bis meadows with
sheep both spring and fall; yet he finds
his crops of hay rather increase than di-
minish. He certainly gets a good pro-
dnct. In l843, he took from 100 acres.
2S5 of well cured hay, and not more than
ten acres, as he states, was manured at all
excepting from the sheep as they grazed
over IL We have known several similar
instances.
1t is best not to turn working oxen TO
grass TIL they have done their "spring
work" They viii perform labor much
better when fed on good, bright, soft hay,
with two or three quarts of meal from
Indian corn, barley, or oats and peas,
with few potatoes, carrots, and other
succulent vegetables, than when fed on
young grass. Ii takes some time for the
animal system TO accommodate itself to
the change from dry TO green food, or from
hay to grass, and the first growth of grass,
besides being deficient in nutriment, is
likely to weaken animals by It's cathartic
action.

Sailing Stock.

Do not neglect to give plenty Of salt to
your live stock regularly, and more espe-
cially such as is running IN pasture
Horses and cattle should have salt given
them every other day; and sheep twice a
week. Hogs, too, are the better Of salt
and a little birthstone or flower Of sulpher
given TO them occasionally, keeps off dis
ease and renders them thrifty.

Lime for Wheat,

DIR. Jackson, geologist of the State Of
Maine, says that by chemical examina-
ton of several remarkable soils, he has
ascertained thai very minute quantity of
carbonate of lime is amply sufficient to
render them capable of bearing heavy
crops of good wheat. He adds: | am al
so satisfied that soil is incapable of pro-
ducing wheat Of good quality if it does
not contain carbonate of lime; for this
substance is an essential ingredient Of this
grain.

Curing Hay.

In this county most farmers are at this
time engaged in securing their hay crops,
and we would therefore beg leave to sug-
gest to them the policy OF lsaldng their hay
when putting it up in the NOW or upon
stack. -Four quarts of salt to a ton will
not only preserve it better, but will cause
horses and cows to eat it more greedily.
A few ounces of saltpetre may be added
with advantage.

The well-known celebrity in Europe and
this country, OF Blackwook's Edinburg
Magazine, has induced the subscriber to
commence the republication of this fash
ionable London Monthly.
1t is a matter of surprise that the Re-
publication of this Work was not COM
menced some years since. On looking
over some late numbers, we find them fill
ed with Stories and Poetry, and Nara
tives, the most of which fall but little be-
hind those published in the Edinburg
Work, and many surpass even the ema-
nations from the Giant intellects of the
contributors to the great Northern Maga-
zine. The best writer's of the day con-
tribute TO its pages.
1t has now been published seventeen
years in London, and has circulation
exceeding 10000 copies through England
Scotland, Ireland, and the continent of
Europe. 1t is translated into several OF
the continental languages-it being the
only instance of an English Magazine
receiving that compliment.
The publication will commence in Oc-
tober next, and will be continued monthly.
The publication price of the above
work, in London, is 6 Dollars.

Deep Cultivation.

A correspondent of the London Gsrden-

Of deep cultivation, and in connection, a

was growing, and all around it to a dis
lance Of three or four feet, the fibres of
the root to lesser depth, had completely
penetrated the soil.
