preservlne corn from worms.

In the spring Of ls47, VIC plowed up ono
acre 10 corner Of six acre meadow, which
had been several years in grass, and the
which was mach infested with cut worms
and the yellow wire worm, The acre vas
planted with corn, and totally destroyed by
the worms, Late in the ensuing fall, the
whole field was manured and turned over
smoothly; 10 tho spring Of ls4s, the whole
was sown with barley, which was very much
injured by the worms---in many places en-
tirely destroyed, In September it was
sown with wheat, with the same result as
with the barley. In the spring of 1850,
we manured it well with fresh barn-yard
manure turned under; narrowed and marked
three feet and hall apart by two and a
half, aud planted corn, four grains in tho
hill, the first Of June. 1t came up 10 five
to seven days, and is now very promising
piece, IS forward as any planted il the mid
die Of May.
The seed was soaked in a decoction Of u
pound Of tobacco, in four gallons Of water.
There were plenty Of worms in the ground,
as found in planting and hoeing, but they
would not touch the tobacco scented corn,
while there was not single weed to be
found and indeed they did no small bone
itin destroying the grass and weeds. Tho
field was kept as clean Of everything but
corn, as it could well be. Az the first hoe
Ing I observed large mullen plaub the
leaves Of which were ridlled; and upon
digging around i. l found over twenty cut
worms. Cor. Atbony culfieafor.

RELATIVE VALUE OF LIouD AND SoL1p
ExoREMENrs,-- man passes about 95 lbs
of feces and 1904 lbs, of liquid in. .4he
course Of a year. The former contains 2
lbs. of nitrogen; tho latter, 1913 lbs; so that
the liquid is worth about nine times as
much as the solid excrements. But, from
this statement, many persons have got an
erroneous impression. We have heard it
publicly asserted that given weight of
urine was nine times as valuable as the
dung. This is not the case. One hundred
pounds Of urine contains no more nitrogen,
and other food Of plants than one hundred
pounds Of dung. The dry, solid matter of
the urine is exceedingly vaIuable--very
much moro so than that Of the dung; but
it is mixed so much with water, as to great
ly reduce its strength. Il il, of course, Of
great Importance to preserve all tho liquid
on farm, inasmuch as by far the greater
proportion Of valuable fcrtilizing matter is
found in il; but when we talk Of purchasing
the liquid, we must remember that, from
the great quantity Of water united with ii,
a ton ofurine isworth no more Than ton oi
good dung. - Geneses Farmer.

"Oue pint Of salt dissolved in warm water

twenty years without failure"
Another remedy by correspondent of
the NortA-wesiern Farmer is the following
"Take bed-quilt, wet it thoroughly in
coldwater, wrap it around the horse; as it
gets hot, pour Oh cold water. have
known the lives of horses saved in this way,
when the veterinary surgeon said they
could not live many minutes and in fifteen
or twenty minutes they would be up and
eating and sure to get well.--O Valley

Hon FARMING, vs.. INsEoTs.-Speaking
of the insects infesting the wheat crop, in
this and the old country, the Mark Lane
E'apress thinks that the production Of in
sects is greatly promoted by the defective
system of agriculture in this country, re-
marking that "when the average produce
Of wheat in England was only two and a
half quarters per acre, the rayages of insects
were far more general and destructive than
they now are, when the average has risen
to four quarters and half High farming
is as destructive to vermin as to weeds, and
it is rarely that the devastation committed
on highly cultivated land is very serious"

SCoURs IN CALvEs-SALT1Na CATTLE
Scours in calves is commonly produced by
something wrong about their food; either
they have been changed too suddenly from
the diet which nature has provided them
good miIk--to some less wholesome substi-
tute, or they have been fed with something
their stomachs are not old enough to digest.
Imperfectly digested food always has the
effect to irritate the bowels and induce di-
arrhea. Exposure to wet and cold some
times produces the disease in question, eth
er by its direct influence on the mucous sur
faces, or by dcpriving the animal of por-
tiou of its vital force, and thus predisposing
to attacks from other causes. The disease
is by many supposed 10 be contagious, but
we have never seen it spread among ami
mails that were properly cared for.
The simplest and usually the most oGeo-
tual treatment, is a change of diet. If
por;dge has been the feed, return to milk, a
day or two. If this is not sufficient, TIA
ble-spoonful Of chalk, powdered fine, with a
tea-spoonful of ginger may be given once
or twice day. Some prefer to this ta-
blc-spoonful Of carbonate of magnesia, with
a tea-spoonful Of rhubarb, and repeated as
often as necessary If the disease be very
obstinate, an ounce of powdered alum may
be dissolved in a pint Of warm milk, and
after the curd has settled, the whey may be
given. A dose or two of the alum-whey
will generally be sufficient, if there be no
Inflammation of the bowels present.
Of the advantage of sailing our domes-
tic animals there can be but little question.
The elements of common salt, sodium or
chlorine, are essential constituents of the
bodies Of animals. Chlorine, in some COM
bination, seems to be important to diges-
tiou, while soda exists as necessary ele-
ment Of the blood, and is found largely in
the bile, milk and other secretions. Most
of the plants used as food contain soda, and
from this source herbivorous animals obtain
partial supply; but in most inland regions
our common forage plants do not afford
sufficient to supply tho needs of animals
aud hence, whether wild or domestieated
they instinctiyely crave salt to supply the
deficiency.
Where it is possible to provide animals
constant supply, to which they may resor
at pleasure, the best effect is seen, although
the animals probably consume less thar
when they are permitted to eat what they
wish, at long aud irregular intervals. Where
a constant supply cannot be conveniently
furnished, il is very desirable that it be Civ.
en- with regularity, as for example, once OF
twice every week. When given only occa
sionally, the cattle are tempted to eat too
much, and Inflammation Of the bowels j,
sometimes the consequence. This is more
especially true Of sheep, for when a larg,
flock is salted, some get more than thei
share, and unless they can get to water read
lily, they may fall victims TO their yoracily

LICE on CALvEs.--Feed your cattle well,
and keep them clean, and they will not be
troubled with lice. If they are, there are
dozen methods Of destroying them. The
easiest, perhaps, is to wash them with de-
eoction Of tobacco. Some fumigate with
tobacco, by burning il under the belly, aud
covering the animal with blanket. An
other way is 70 apply oil or grease along
the back, shoulders, around the eyes, aad
other parts Of the body Mercurial oint-
msnt is very efectual. but requires to be
used With caution. We have known the
tobacco water 70 make the animal sick,
when too strong. Better apply weak so.
lotion two OF three times, than run the risk
Of impairing the health Of the animal BY
too strong dose At cnce.
If calves are troubled with lice, give
them litiIe sulphur in their milk. This
win generally prove eiEsctual. Be sure
that the pen Is dry. well ventilated, hut not
too light, and supplied with plenty of clean
straw, Geneses Farmer.

SAIR AS MANURE FOR WHRAr.--A
correspondent referring to our account, in
the last volume Of the Genesee Farmer, Of
the experiment of John Johnston where a
barrel Of salt per acre applied at the time
Of sowing, had very beneficial effect on
wheat, causing II TO mature SO early that
the midge did it little iniury--asks wheth-
er it would be likely to do as much good
when applied as top-dressiug 10 the spring.
We think not, The action Of salt proba-
bly,, is as a solvent Of fertilizing matter in
the sol so that it would be desirable to
mix it with the soil, and apply it as early
as possible. On poor land, salt would not
be likely to do much good sown either in
the fall or in the spring. We however, will
make the experiment. Genesse Farmer.

which neutralizes this maarious poison in the
blood, and stimulates the liver to expe it from the

disorder with perfect certainty. And it does more,
or rather does what is of service those sub
ect to this infection. If taken in season it expels
II from the system il is absorbed and thus keeps
those who use it free from its attacks keeps the
system in health although exposed to the disease
Consequently it not only cures but protects from,
the great variety of affections which induced
by this malignant influence, such as Remittent
Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb, or Masked Ague,
Periodical Headache, or Bilious Headache, Bilious
Feyers, Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Blindness
Toothaehe, Earache, Catarrh, Asthma, Palpita-
tions, Painful Affections Of the Spleen, Mysteries,
Colic, Paralysis, and Painful Affections of the
Stomach and Bowels, all of which, when arising
from this cause will be found to assume more or
less the intermittent type. This "AGuR CuRE
removes the cause of these arrangements and cures
the disease
This it accomplishes by stimulating the excre-
tories to expel the virus from the SYSTEM and
these organs by degrees become habited to do this
their office Of their own accord Hence arises what
we term acclimatation. Time may accomplish the
same end, but often life is not long enough, or is
sacrificed in the attempt while this AGUE CURE
does it at once, and with safety. We have great
reason to believe this is a surcr as well as safer
remedy for the whole class of diseases which are
caused by the miasmatic infection, than any other
which has been discovered; and it has still another
important advantage to the public, which is, that
it is cheap as well as good.
