Calls on Horses,

AS the heat and labor Of the season in
creases, horses will suffer from various
flesh wounds, which if not Immediately
cured, will couse great suffering to the
horse, and waste of time and temper to
the owner. Let, therefore hint or. two
from the american AgScultarist be now
needed !: = E
"Prevention is better than cure. In
the frst place, be sure that your harness
is in perfect working order. See to it es-
pecially that the collar fits well, and lis
smooth. If the inner surface is rough, it
must chafe, aud soon wear off the skin
A loose layer. of leather under the collar
is s good contrivance to lessen friction
upon the animals neck and shoulders
While spring work is pressing let the hor-
SEES shoulders be washed every morning
with solution Of alum and whiskey. At
night, when coming home from work
sxeaty and sore, let the shoulders be wash
ed with tepid water, then rubbed dry. If
then gals occur on the breast oil back,
wash them clean, then apply an ointment
made by linking togethera spoonfnl of pull
verified alum and the white of an egg.

Heavy ana r.ight Land.

- We have seldom seen che different
treatment required for heavy and light
land better explained than in the following
paragraphgwhieh occurs in communion
ton from Waltsr Elder, 70 the Philadel-
phia Farmer and Gardener
Sandy soils are too full of air, and, re-
quire much heavy rolling to make them
compact and Ireteatiye of9moisture. In
deed, sif rolling could destroy allsweeds
upon sandy soils, i would be far better
than stirring them to uproot weeds. The
Jersey farmers use the plough, barrow and
and Tcultivator frequently, and the roller
toe seldom. II we could preserve mois-
ture in our soils in summer, our crops
would be doubiy valuable and the only
way we can do that in sandy soils, is to
roll aud not stir them. We see in the
sandy districts Of New Jersey, the grass
green upon troddeR roadsides in summer,
while that upon stirred lands is burned
up; and bushes luxuriant alongside Of fen
ces where the soil is unstirred, while the
crops on cultivated fields are parched.-
Grain and grass saould get much rolling
in spring, and if small rollers could follow
the cultiyator, (say day after IT'D crops
would do better, As much air will rush
into sandy soils in ten minutes, while STIR
red, as will 60 into clayey lands in ten
weeks, if not well narrowed. So, the
more. frequently heavy lands are stirred,
the better they hold moisture, as they
crack when dry, and moisture from below
escapes too quickly but when often STIR
red and the surface kept too loose, a vol
ume of air goes into the loose soil, pre-
vents cracking, and retards the evapora-
ton .ef moisture from below; but the
weight Of heavy lands and rains upon
them, soon press cat the. air on the sur
face; hence the necessity Of frequent STIR
ring. ~ .A4 q VI I'll a p, 2 &

Could one-half Of my brother farmers
who ridicule book farming, and who have
dairy Of ten cows, be induced to plant,
pext spring, one half acre each to fodder
corn, the rows two feet apart, with TWEEN
ty or twenty-five kernels 90 foot, and be-
gin to feed about the last Of September,
and add six weeks or two months to their
dairy season, they would be inclined to
look pleasant at their success and let the
same alone. My experience will warrant
twenty five dollars for the half acre, if
properly managed, with little labor.
