KEEPING FOwLS.--Mr. Albert c..
Vose,, near Manville, pursues what
seems to ussa reasonable and Profitable
course in keeping fowls. He has en-
closed an acre and a. quarter Of land
with high fence; and in thisenelesurs
he keeps about hundred and fifty
hens. He informs us that during nine
months of the year these fowls give a
net profit of two dollars per year. Is
not this keeping fowls to some purpose?
In Mr.. Nose's enclosure Is running
stream and fruit trees. The trees afford
shade, while their fruit-bearing Is inn
proved by the fowls. Woonsocket Pa.

ONIONS AND POULTRY Scarcely
too much can be said in praise of onions
for fowls. They seem to be pre-. en-
tive and remedy for various diseases to
which domestic fowls are liable. Hav-
ing frequently tested their excellence,
we can speak Understandings. For
gapes and inflammation of the throat,
eyes and head, onions are an excel
lent specific. We would therefore,
recommend giving fowls, and especially
young chicks, as many as they will eat,
as often as twice or three times week.
They should be finely chopped. A
small addition ofcorn meal is an i'm
proyeinent.-Ge ncSSce Farmer.

Early Planting of Oorn--Preparation.

In the Northern States, May is often a
cold, wet rainy month, and corn planted
early, either does not come up at all, or it
drags out poor, yellowish, dwindling life,
until the warm weather Of June while the
farmer has to wage a steady battle with
the weeds in order to see his corn rows at
all This is often the case at least and we
very much prefer to do other work in the
early part of the month, meanwhile keeping
the ground open by occasional harrowinge,
so that perhaps, two or three crops of weeds
will start up and be killed before the goth
or 25th, at which time we prefer to put in
the main crop. An early maturing kind is
best, and this cannot be too much insisted
ON both at the East and West and we pre-
fersnot to go far out of thelneighborhood for
it, if we have not enough of such seed as
we want Of our own raising.
Take perfect cars with small cobs, and
we'll filled out. Use only the perfect ker-
nels If the ear is perfect and thoroughly
ripe, all the kernels may be used but if
the ear is mishappen and the kernels at the
tip not so ripe and hard as the rest, plant
only from the middle of the ear. Soak the
corn ten or twelve hours, then change the
water, adding that which is as hot as one
can bear his hand in. To this add little
pine tar, and stir the whole until the corn
IS all thinly coated with tar Pour off the
water and roll the corn in shaken lime
Plant within twelve hours covering only
about half an inch deep.
Bradford reporter. [volume] (Towanda, Pa.) 1844-1884, 1866-05-17

ed with little earth besides, or the seed
may be killed by coming in contact with it,
Such active fertilizers, and the list is large,
must always be used with care, mot to have
the seed injured Yet they are needed close
at hand for the encouragement of the young
plant as soon as 1t starts. Superphosphate,
ashes, gypsum, soda saltpeter, ETC., may be
applied upon the hill after the corn is up,
or, at least, after planting, with quite as
good effect as if put in the hill.
The list of concentrated manures which
may be made on the farm, or bought, is
quite large, and if any person visit the
manufactures of various kinds in his vicln-
ity he will often be able to secure much that
is of value to himself, and do the shoema-
ker, soap boiler, brewer, tanner, butcher, or
glue boiler, favor also.

Field Corn.

Every man has a definite notion of what
field corn is-yet how different are these
ideas. To the Canadian or Maine reader it
means little 5-foot variety, with S-inch
ears, and S-rowed the kernels usually yel-
low as gold and hard as flint. He plants
it in rows, 3 feet apart, and in hills 90 to
"a inches apart in the rows. 1t may be
planted in June, and cut up in 90 days To
the Connecticut Valley and New York far
mers, field corn is larger, coarser taller, of
larger ears, of more various colors and
qualities-planted in hills 8 to 81 feet apart
usually in May and harvested in September,
allowing 110 to I20 or more days for 1t to
mature enough to be cut up. As we go
West and South, the size of the plant and
the length of season required for its devel-
opment and perfection increase and )
feet apart is no unusual distances to find
the hills, and the ears, instead of being s.
rowed and II to IA inches long, as in the
Middle and Eastern States, are short, thick,
and II to 90 rowed, while the kernels lose
the finty character, in measure, and gam
a certain mealiness, and in shape resemble
gourd seed or horses tooth. The varieties
of corn are almost infinite, (if we may use
the expression), and yet it is remarkable
that the plant is everywhere governed by
the same rules of culture, and instructions
good for Maine will apply in Louisiana.
Corn needs a deep and rich soil, or es
pecial manuring, and the ground must be
dry and warm The culture should be tho
rough previous pulverization, with the dis
semination of manure throughout the soil
by blowing and narrowing, unless, indeed
the corn be planted on a good sward, turn
ed under in which case manuring with {
good compost, stable manure, or some con
centrated fertilizer in the hill is desirable
on soils which need manuring to ensure {
good crop After planting, the culture
should consist in keeping the weeds down
and the surface free and opon, for the actor
of the air and the absorption of dew anC
other moisture.
The stalks should not be so crowded tha
they cannot mature well and, if the cul
ture be thorough, farmers generally err il
putting the drills too far apart and letting
too many stalks stand in each hill. 1t il
much more economical of space to plant il
drills the stalks foot apart, and the drill
80 inches to Il feet, according to the vari
ety-this distance being little less thai
half the hight of the stalks, on an average
Never allow more than stalks to a ILL
If all the culture is to be done by horsepow
er, it pays to sacrifice little of the land t
convenience, and put the corn in hills equal
ly distant, and in true rows, running bot
ways.

Grass Land, How to Improve 1t.

If you ask this question of many farmers,
the only reply will be, break up and sod
down afresh. Others will hesitate before
giving this uniform answer They will in
sist on looking at the land first, or at least
will wish to know what is the matter with
the present grass crop In some parts of
the field messy or boggs ? or does it grow
certain coarse grass which indicate undue
moisture at the bottom? If so, their eyes
will be opened and they will reply, in med
ical language, that understanding is indi-
cated' Nothing does the land need so
much as this nothing will do it material
good, until this is first attended to. Plow-
ing and manuring will be nearly all use
less, so long as the land is clogged with
surface water,
If this is not the trouble, they will en-
quire whether foul weeds have got posses
sion, to the exclusion of wholesome gras-
ses. If not, but the trouble is simply an
impoverishment of the surface by long crop
ping, they will advise to scarify the sward
Ill the fall with heavy harrow, tearing up
the moss, ,and disturbing the soil a little, so
that it will receive fresh seed. Then thev
will sow from 10 to Is quarts per acre of
clear timothy and Red Top in equal parts,
and cover the same with "a light harrow
We should have said, too, they will apply
a good coat of old manure, before the seed
sowing. In this way repeating the ma
nuring once in two years, many a meadow
or pasture can be brought up to a high
state of productiveness If, however, the
land is infested with white daisy, dock or
thistle, the only way will be to break it up
thoroughly, cultivate it five years with
crops and grain, and finally seed down
again. Manuring should go along with
tins cultivation, of course When seeding
down, be not sparing of seed, but use half
a bushel of Timothy and the same of Red
Top. II red Glover is desired, it should not
generally be sowed until in the spring, as
1t is apt to winter kill. If our farmer is
progressive man, perhaps he will enquire
whether the grass crop could not be i'm
proved by irrigation. We believe that
mach is to be realized from this practice
during the next generation.

GAPs IN CHICKENs-There is no doubt but
the gaps comes from little worms, the lar
vac Of some fly or other insect, which are
found in considerable numbers in the throats
of the chickens and cause their DEATH
These flies or insects no doubt abound about
fowl houses and yards, so that keeping the
chickens in places where fowls do not fire.
quent, and where they have not before been
kept, goes far toward protecting them from
the evil
A correspondent writes as follows -
about year ago, / communicated to the
Igicuiturit a certain mode Of treating
chickens, to prevent gaps. Since that time
| have seen various modes stated to cure
the ailment Now Mr.. Editor, insist up
on it that an ounce of prevention is better
than pound of cure. There is no need of
having gaps at all Last year | raised
nearly one hundred chichens, and had not a
sign of gaps among them. My method is
as follows
"When the chickens are in condition to
take from the nest, put them with a hen
in a coop with board bottom, so as to keep
the young ones from the cold and damp
ground. They are fed with Indian meal on
which boiled water has heen poured from
the tea-kettle, well-stirred and allowed to
cool believe the whole secret is to keep
the chickens dry and warm when quite
young, and give them cooked food '--Ana

Manuring Corn in the Hill.

When manure is scarce and the greatest
effect is demanded the first season, or when
corn is on good sod, and little start is
wanted at first, or when the land is rather
cold and the season uncertain, it is best to
manure IN the hill for corn. If one has
hne compost, say of swamp muck and ma
nure, containing ! of the latter after mar
KING out, good shoveliul may be distri-
buted to three or four hills, and the corn
dropped directly upon it. If, however, the
compost is made up of ashes, superphos-
phate, guano, poudrette, etc, ,singly or min
gled, it must be mixed with soil and cover
