RMsIxG CAIyEs-A New MErHoD-Whilc
on a short visit to the farm Of VI. Cromwell,
of this town, Il few days ago, our attention
was drawn to plan Of raising calves for early
sale. which to us, in this section of the country
has the appearance ofnovelty and seems worthy
Of the consideration of stock growers.
Nj Cromwell took his calves Gall heifcrS)
last spring, and commenced feeding on sour
milk to Il few days old, keeping them on the
same kind of food during the summer, taking
good care to feed them uniformly, but not
very abundantly, so as to keep them growing
thriftily without forcing them to rapidly In
the fall they were put in the stal.es, and fed
on hay, and a little meal, increasing the guam
tity of the latter gradually, with a view of
fitting them for beef in the spring at one
year old or a little under.
These ten calves look like young oxen, and
are estimated to weigh about 800 lbs. each
alive They will probably be sent to market
soon, say next month, when we shall see how
much beef will sell, and it will be rclishcd by
the lovers of good eating. For ourselves We
should hardly find it our hearts to decline a
dinner from one of the best of them.--
We understand from Mr. c., who is making
this trial by way of experiment, that he is
quite satisfied thus far with the present attempt
TO raise beef in one year. that he intends to re-
new the experiment another year, when he
thinks some Improvement can be made.-N y.

GRASS FIELDs.-It is often a serious loss
when fields in wheat the previous season and
seeded down with the view to remain in gras,
for several years, prove on examination, that
the grass seed either from dry weather or other
causes has very imperfectly taken
The usual rotation, which requires each
field to be plowed in its turn, or as it may be
required, is seriously intcrfered with by such a
mishap.
In these cases, we would advise few quarts
Of grass seed to be sown to the acre on the
surface, while the frosts of spring have left it
comparatively open, and when the ground be
comes dry enough pass over the roller. This
will cover the seed, and very often cause it to
grow and vegetate beautifully, avoiding the
necessity of pIowing mp the field.

Farmers Prospects for 1866

What are the prospects of the farmers Tor
the coming year. as to the probable crops and
priccs9 In our opinion, good in both respects.
FIRST as to crops il has always been found
that season of severe drought had bPne-
fetal effect on the SOIL so that hountifnl crops
arc pretty sure to he obtained the following
wear ( IN explanation of this we cannot
attempt now, but viii III our ncxt( Besides
the droHth of the past year taught some
valuable lessons i'll regard to The importance of
deeper and better tiilage which most farmers
VII put i'll practice the coming season. we
shall say more about this, also, before long. }
Then the hard times have had the effect to
drive men back to their farms and to industry,
WHO before imagined that they were rich
enough TO live more gentcely, or smart enough
70 live more easily at other employment
This. together with the cheaper cost OF labor,
and the continual high price of farm produce,
must tend to secure large increase of crops
the present year, supposing the season proves
ordinarily favorable and in regard to the
great staple, wheat, already in the ground its
present appearance squte as good, We believe,
AS in the average Of seasons.
Second, as to prices for the coming season !;
we think there is but little prospect of any de
cline from present rates, and much probability
that prices will advance, especially of such az
ticlcs as are suited for exports. OF course it
is impossible at this time to predict what will
be the extent Of the war movements in Europe
the coming season, or to what extent this
movement will create a foreign demandfor our
products but from all that we can see at
present, VIC are Of the opinion that our surplus
breadstuffs and provisions will be wanted to
feed the armies and the suffering people Of
other countries and if our crops are album
lant, the tide Of gold and silver that has for
the past year flowed SO continuously from this
country, will reverse, and with its return will
come a return of prosperity, and the resump-
ton of our public improvements.
Such are our hopes and expectations for the
future =; but these results can only be secured
by industry and irugality so we must all learn
to labor and to wait for the "good time COM
ing boys ."-OAio CRifjrdtor

DRAINING MAKES THE Soil WARM.-IIcre is
soil that needs draining-it is absolutely wet
and has 10 natural OF artificial outlet. Hun
drcds Of farms are in this condition Now
what becomes Of the rain and snow which
annually fall upon such farms ? Why, after
the soil is once saturated, the remainder must
be carried off by evaporation. Now it has
been ascertained by experiment, that every
gallon Of water thus eyaporated requires as
much heat as wouldraisc five and half gallons
from the freezing to the boiling point What
an amazing loss is here Heat is the greatest
promoter of vegetable life. Farmers say
i" clay soils are cold" What wonder, indeed,
they are cold, owing to the constant evapora-
ton going on at the surface. Cover the hand
with moisture and keep it exposed to the air,
and YOU readily experience sense of GOODNESS ::
because heat is ab5traCted in the evaporation
Of the water This isprecisely what transpiros
in the soil. Hence that field which is throughly
drained is ten to fifteen degrees warmer than
tie one besides ii which has not been drained,
though the soils are similar in other respects
Ia the one case, the soil absOrbs and retains
the heat in the other, it is carried Off in the
vapor Of the water, with which the surface is
saturated. Therefore, draining, in one sense,
changes the climate, so far as the growth of
crops is concerned.
Mr. B. Simpson in the journal of the
Royal Agricultural Society," says :" have
observed the effects of drainage on the grow
ing crops, and have seen not only a much
inferior crop on the undrained field, but that
crop harvested fully three weeks after the same
crop on drained land and owing to this cir
cumstance and the setting in of unsettled
weather, | have seen tpat crop detcriorated
fully ten per cent. in value"
The notion that heavy soils arc cold and
slow, will lose ground when these soils are
made dry by complete drainage Michigan

Tool HoUsE.-Proyde yourself with good
tool house. Locate it in some convenient place
and whenever You have done using an imple-
ment for the season, cleanse and house it
Structures of this kind cost but little, and may
be made the means Of saving great deal
The exposure of costly farming implements
during the winter, is a great injury to them, as
general thing than the use of them during
the period they are wanted for active service in
the field. The corrosion of iron by rusting, and
the rendng and warping of wood by moisture,
frost and heat, are evils the extent of which
few appreciate - Germontorn Telegraph.

How MUCH LlNE DO Soils NEED.-We have
lately had reason to remark that less lime is
needed in soil than many suppose Prof
Emmons, in his Report on the Geological
appeal to observation and experiment it is
established that small percentage is necessary.
If there is present one-haf per cent, it seems
to be sufficient for it is rare to find a large
quantity in productive soils Prof Z. is a
chemist and geologist of long experience, and
was one of the first (perhaps the irst) to as
certain that some of the most productive soils
for wheat in Western New York contain COM
paratively little lime.
