Field of Corn.

Mr.. John @. Hewlett who has a
farm about four miles from. this city on
the Friedrich road, has just measured
the corn gathered from three acres OF a
field OF eighteen acres-the corn was
heaped and shaken twice, in accord
ance with the old rule-twice before
and once after Christmas. The pro-
duct Of the three acres was forty-six
barrels, or fifteen and third barrels,
or scventy-six and two-thirds bushels
per acre.
The field had heretofore been i'm
proved by q liberal dressing Of animal
manures. the blowing In Of green
crop, and the application Of one hun
dred bushels Of oyster shell lime, and
had been set in timothy. Last year,
owing to the lowness Of the ground
and the thorough manuring which il
had previously received, heavy Sec
ond growth or aftermath Of timothy
grew up. fell down, and. by the force
Of its smother. destroyed the timothy,
which was followed by a luxurieni
growth Of blue grass. Last fall the
grass was plowed in some eight or ten
inches deep, and the inverted soil left
composed TO the ameliorating influence
Of the winters frost. This spring the
field was rolled, narrowed until per.
fectly fine filth was obtained, and then
planted with corn without any manure

A Cross OF MERrNo AND LEICESTER
SHEEP.--A writer in the Sept. No. of
the Michigan Farmer, reports that Mr..
Harry Hurd, near Jackson. in that
State, has been crossing his Spanish
sheep with the LEICESTER, finding that
the cross paid better, both in wool and
flesh, than when kept altogether fine
wooded. At his last shearing, some Of
this cross yielded fleeces of seven
pounds each, for which he calculated
to get eight or ten cents less per ID.
than for the feeces of the fine wooded
Spanish. Thela latter, however, weigh
ed but three to four pounds, which at
374 cents would be worth oply 81, le
to 81 80, whereas seven pounds at
twenty to thirty cents would yield at
about the rate Of s2 per head, while
at the same time the carcasses could
be sold for more to the butcher. These
facts and estimates Of profit may lead
others to repeat the experiments Of
Mr.. Hurd.

The Health and Comfort Of Horses
Sacrificed.


This is a thing which may be seen
almost every day. The ways in which
il is done arc manifold. The health
and comfort of mans noble servant
are sacrificed in the stable. on the road
and also when tied up without shelter
from cold and wind while his master
is cozily enjoying himself by a warm
fireside. The feelings Of every one
who has any compassion in the consti-
tuition Of his nature, must often be
panied by sights which so often come
before him Of the comfort Of the no.
BILE horse so horribly neglected, and
heedlessly sacrificed.
One Of the ways in which this is
done Is probably little considered
Many owners Of horses probably, shut
them up in close. unyentilated and
perhaps dark stable. without il once
occurring 10 them that they are thus
injuring the health and destroying the
comfort Of their animals. The stencil
and pungency which meet one on OPEN
ing the stable-door in the morning,
might make some think Of this matter
who do not seem 10. II they were
shut up a night or few hours in their
own stable, perhaps then they might.
A horse cannot breath the atmosphere
Of many stables without injury TO his
eyes, and especially to his lungs or
respiratory organs. AS this is the sea-
son when horses are being stabbed,
pasturing being about over, Il would
be we'll for mans horses. and for
their owners too, II they would see
that their stables are provided with
means Of ventilation, and that every
source Of pungent and foul smells be
removed rs early and as eiiectually as
possible. Country Gent.
