strange to see them sell all their " deacon skins

a strip Of well tanned rawhido an inch wide, and
a horse can hardly break it by pulling back-two
of them he cannot break in any way.

with sharp knife to use for bag strings the
strings will outlast two sets Of bags. Farmers
know how perplexing it is to leud bags and have
them returned minus strings.
1t will outlast hoop iron tconmon) in any shape
and is stronger. 1t is good towrap around bro
ken thill-better than iron.
Two sets Of rawhide halters will last mans
lifetime if he don't live too long
In some places the Spaniards use rawhide log
chains to work cattle with, cut into narrow strips
and twisted together hawser fashion. 1t can be
tanned so it viii be soft and pliable like harness

quest we republish directions for the best white
wash we have ever used. For moderate sized
house, say rooms, about IL lbs. Paris white, and
ID. best white glue are needed Dissolve the
glue in hot water; also make a thick wash with
tho Paris white and hot water and add the dis
solved glue and sufficient water to make the wash
of the proper consistency. AS the stifens over
nightir is better TO mix in the morning what is
wanted during the day; If left over night, warm
or add hot water to make it limpid.
The Paris white is chalk cleansed from its i'm
purities, and is only very pure whiting, better
than is ordinarily use for putty. We use the
Cooper glue which is considered the best here, but
any good white glue will answer. 1t costs here
SO cents per TO- at retail, and the Paris white 3
cents per Id. Both articles can be obtained in ev
cry city or village.
The above makes an excellent whitewash clean
and white, and net easily rubbed off. It's first
cost is more than lime wash, but it is durable and
for nice rooms is far more pref rable.-American

full farmers in their efforts to raise turnips say that

II will be impossible to raise fair crop of turnips

Pasauring.-It is poor economy to feed pas
lures very close. They will yield much more, ii the
grass has fair start, than if fed down low that
1t can scarcely grow. Cattle which pick pasture
down to the 5one nearly always run largely to bone
j ohm Johnston supposes case, founded on repeat
ed obserr alton, in illustration of this truth. He
says: "a has field which he thinks will keep TWEEN
ty cattle, and he puts them into it, b. has field
of the same size and quality, but he puts only ten
cattle into it. Now it will almost always be found
that in the autumn, the ten have gained as many,
often more pounds live weight, than the twenty
The ten with first rate pasture should gain 400 each,
and it is doubtful if the 20 would have gained 200
pounds each, The 10 would make extra beef, and
bring an extra price, while the twenty would make
only third-rate beef bringing little more per pound
than when they were turned to pasture. The ten
paid $25 each for their pasture, or perhaps more.
This | have often seen."-COUntry Gentleman.

Cross-PIOwing Greensward.-This error is
sometimes fallen into by those who have had little
experience in farming. They want to make the
best preparation of the land for crops, and they do
too much. If the object be to get deep filth of
soil, the better way is to turn the turf under at
once ten or twelve inches deep, and mellow the
surface with q harrow or .cultivator. Where the
sod is turned over, it decays much rapidly to
lie undisturbed, than to have it broken by cross
blowing. The edges of the sod do not come to the
light and air. so as to grow and the whole mass of
vegetable fibre is then rapidly converted into plant
food and taken up by the crop.
or oiayey soils # the furrow slice is turned over
eight ten inches thick, and allowed to lap few
inches upon its neghbor it forms temporary drain
in the bottom of each furrow. If the burrows run
up and down the slope of the field they will carry
off the water after heavy showers very readily, in
the orepart of thes season. when the ground is most
likely to be injured by surplus Of water. In
breaking up prairie sod, more shallow blowing is
desirable The sod rots quicker and there is Ter
tility enough near the surface.-Am. Agr5culturiSt

Farmers TOOls.-A certain number of tools,
and some skill in their use, will often save the far
mer much time in sending for mechanic and some
expense in paying him. Every farmer should be
able to make small repairs on his wagons, gates,
buildings, &c. A room, or portion of room,
should be devoted to keeping these tools; pin or
nail should be inserted for each to hang and
the name of each tool written painted under the
pin, that it may be promptly returned to its place,
and any missing one detected. Keep every tool in
its placedo not wait for more convenient sea-
son. but return every one to its pin the moment it
is done with If left out of place minute, it will
be likely to remain week. and cause loss of time
looking for it, hundred times greater than in re-
placing it promptly. Keeping everything in its
place is habit, costing nothing when formed
The tools should be, hammer, saw, augurs, brace
and bits gimlets screw driver wrench, two planes,
chisels, malet, files and rasp, sawset, trowe, and
box with compartments for different sized nails
screws, nuts, bolts, &c. Common farm nipple
ments & tools, such as hoes spades, shoves, forks,
rakes, scythes, &C., may be in the same room, on
the opposite side, and the same precautions taken
to keep every one in its place.-Co~atry Gentle
