How to Make Mixers,

No matter what breed you have, some.
thing is necessary to reach ths highest
success in raising good mixers. It's a
great thing to have good blood, whether
it be Ayrshire, Jersy or Short Horn grades,
but apart from this important advantage.

animal, or an animal for labor.
The calf should be well fed and petted
while young. Well fed, to induce a rap
id growth, so as TO enable the heifer to
come in early; pettcd, to make her gen.
tie and fond of the presence of her keep
ers- Fondling helps to create a quiet
disposition, SO important in dairy COW.
and this education must begin when
young. For mixer we would have the
heifer come in at two years old, and if
she has been well kept, so as to have
attainted a good size, she is then old
enough to become a cow She will give
more milk for coming in early. 1t forms
the habit of giving milk, and habit, you
know, is sort ofsecond nature. An old.

bulls. A three or four year cid is bet
ter-as stock setter than yearling, and
many prefer five or six year old to any
other After the heifer has come in, let
herfeeds be regular. Clover is preferred
to all Others for the stall feed. A little

Attraction of the Soil.

There is some good information on this
subject in the following from The Rural
World, which comments as follows There
are some things in this world that have
attraction for each other Tha number
is not small. For instance, clay has an
attraction for ammonia. If you expose
it to the air fresh from the soil, the am
mOnia of the atmosphere which comes
in contact with it, will be taken up by
the clay, and kept there-kept forever
till the roots Of plants take it up. In
ordor to facilitate this feeding of the clay
with this important element ammonia,
which contains nitrogen, the one great
fertilizing principle-it must be exposed,
that is, stirred, thrown to the air by the
plow, and changed and newly exposed by
the eultivator and harrow. This is what
sn old author calls manuring; and he is
right, for it is really manuring-adding
ammonia to the soil Lime has similar
effect of attraction Now, as there is lit
tie or no ground that has not clay or lime
the great advantage of enrichng soil in
this'way is evident. Not only that, the
ground cracked soil, and the air circula-
ting through it will moisten it, 50 that the
humps are readily powdered after few
workings-or at least to great extent
and wholly reduced after few work
ings--or at least to a great cxtent-and
wholly reduced after a sh wcr-in fact
fall apart of themselves, The nearer a
city or barn-yard' the>more will the soil
become enriched. 1t has often been
remarked that people raising vegetables
near cities are successful with less manure
than other people. Snch ground is much
worked, from necessity-and as the air
contains more eflluvia, which escapes from
the filth Of a city, the soil in its vicinity
gets more to feed upon. Soil should not
only be stirred, but stirred deeply, espe-
cially in the frll, which gives, besides
the usurl absorbation, chance for the
frost is ameliorate. The benefits arising
from stirring the soil we see in various
ways-in hoed crops, in summer-fallow
in the superiority of seeding the first and
the second years, before the ground, by
long lying, becomes compact. Could our
meadows be worked, as our corn fields
are, without injury to the grass, there
would be improved crops. But this
should always be understood, that soil
stirred must lave large share of lime
or clay or mixture Of the two; other
wise, there is little or no effect. Soil even
may be hurt in such case, if worked in
hot, dry weather, as the fertility in it is
not sufficiently held to be retained, but
will escape. This is the case with sand.
The more sand, therefore, the susceptible
of escaping Our soil is critical thing,
and requires an educated eye to direct it
at least an experienced one"
