SoILISG CATTLE got my idea of soiling
cattle from prominent members of the club.
From ten years experience | can most en-
phatically say that soiling will pay. with or
without peat or muck, and especially where
manure Is scarce. As this process will double
the manure, and only one-sixth of the land Is
required, 1t Is easier t. manure one acre than
six. From a strong clay soil. in poor condi-
tim. one cutting of clover. from forty rods.
kept twelve cows fifteen days. Such crop
can be grown on almost any farm near the
barn. with preparation of a year or 50. Can
not afford to put an acre in fine condition
that we NAV get the use of five gratis? Soil
ing also will enable the feeder TO command
his stock better than in the pasture il will
enable him to double his stock. and almost
double his manure. kent strict account
of the labor bestowed on thirty-five cows and
steers one seas IN, and found it only sixty
d,I-ars- The expense is paid four times over
in the extra product, saying nothing about
keeping up fences. No man afford to
pasture land worth more than twenty-five
liars an acre. Because few have adopted
it, is no reason; if it were, it is a reason for
tiIIage, poor sheep poor cattle and horses
Because few have good grindstone is no rea-

Weighing the Baby.

- How many pounds does the baby weigh
Baby who came but a month ago?
How many pounds from the browning curl
To the rosy point Of the restless tOe?"
Grandfather ties the 'kerchiefs knot,
Tenderly guides the swinging weight,
And carefully over his glasses peers
To read the record, Only eight"
Softly the echo goes around;
The father laughs at the tiny girl;
The fair Young mother sings the words,
While grandmother smOoths the golden curl
And STOPPING above the precious thing,
Nestles kiss within prayer,
Murmuring softly, g Little one,
Grandfather did not weigh YOU fair"
Nobody weighed the baby's smile,
Or the love that came with the helpless one ;
Nobody weighed the threads of care
From which woman's life is spun.
No index tells the mighty worth
Of little baby's quiet breath
y soft unceasing metronome,
Patient and faithful until death
Nobody weighed the baby's soul;
For here on earth no weight there be
That could avail; God only knows
Its value in eternity.
Only eight pounds to hold soul
That seeks no angels silver wing,
But shrines it in this human guise,
Within 50 frail and small a thing
o, mother, laugh your merry note
Be gay and glad but don't forget
From haby's eyes looks out a soul
That claims a home in Eden vet

NJ. Andy asked if the blight on roses
could be overcome by the same remedy.
NJ. Margotten replied that sulphur was a
perfect cure for this disease in roses, but
we must apply it as soon as the parasite
appears before it becomes firmly establish
ed. 1t is better that the shoots should be
only about six or eight inches in length
when the application is made.
This blight or mildew often appears just
as the roses are ready to flower again, but
new application will remedy the evil.
The remedy should be applied when the
day is clear and warm, for the sulphurous
acid, resulting from the slow combustion
of the sulphur under the action of the
suns rays, quickly kills the parasite /;
whereas if the application be soon followed
By rain the sulphur is washed away, and
it becomes necessary to apply it again.
VI. Parnot confirmed, from his experience,
the efficacy of the above remedy, as did
NJ Nerdier, the latter, however, insisting
that the remedy should be applied when
the leaves of the shrub were very small

PREPARATION or W HITEwAsH-W hitcwash
is one of the most valuable articles in the
world when properly applied. 1t prevents
not only the decay of wood, but conduces
greatly to the healthiness of all buildings
whether of wood or stone Out-buildings
and fences, when not painted should be sup
piled once twice every year with Il good
coat of whitewash, which should be prepared
in the following way Take "A clean, water
tight barrel. or other suitable cask. and put
into it half bushel of lime. Stake it by
pouring water over it, boiling hot, and in
sufficient quantity To cover it five inches
deep, and stir it briskly till thoroughly
slaked. When the shaking has deem effected
dissolve it into water, and add two pounds of
sulphate of zinc, and one of common salt
These will cause the wash to harden, and pre-
vent it cracking, which gives an unseemly
appearance TO the work. If desirable. a
beautiful cream color may be communicated
to the above wash. by adding three pounds
Of yellow ochre good pearl lead
color, by the addition Of lamp. vine ivory
black. For fawn color add four pounds UNI
ber-Turkish or America, the latter is the
cheapest-one pound Indian red, and one
pound common lampback. For common
stone color add four pounds raw lumber and
two pounds lampblack. This wash may be
applied with common whitewash brush,
and will be found much superior, both in ap-
pearance and durability, to common white
wash.-[ Exchange paper.

SULPHUR FOR BLIGHT OR MILDEw On
PEACHES AND RosEs.-At the September
sitting of the French Imperial Society of
Horticulture NJ, Lepere called the atten-
ton of the members to some very fine
samples of the variety of peach known as
the Glande BeUeydrde. He said that
variety of peach had been almost aban-
doned for several years by the cultivators
of Montreuil because it was subject to
blight or mildew, for which no remedy was
found. He had continued to cultivate,
and with great advantage. from the time
when, by use of sulphur. he had been able
to free the tree from the parasite which
injured it.

CraIgcntinncy Meadows, situated about one
mile and half southeast of Edinburgh,

at various times, the most recent addition
being nearly fifty acres laid out in the course
of last wear (lS50) and the year previous.

October. when the meadows are shut up,

winter. The lettings average somewhat over
twenty pounds the acre /; the highest last
year having brought thirty-one pounds, and
the lowest nine pounds. These last were of
verv limited extent on land recently denuded
in laying out the ground, and consequently
much below it, natural level of productive
ness. There are four cuttings in the year.
and the collective weight of grass cut from
some parts was stated at the extraordinary
amount of eighty tons the imperial acre.
From calculations made on the spot, we

one shilling to one shilling six pence per head

The WAY TO RAISE THE CALvEs-Do not
let the calf go the more than twice to
suck keep it entirely away from her until
it is two weeks old, and then you may turn
it out with her and be sure it will not trou-
BILE her. Feed the calf with the cows milk
as it is MIXED, until you wish to use the

is sweet, warm it and give it to the calf
After the calf is four weeks old give it your

not more than a gill at a time to commence
with. The calf will follow you to the pas

How to Make Trees Fruitful.

Various statements of successful expert
ments in making trees fruitful are found goir z
tn, rounds of the agricultural papers. A cor
respondent Of the Prairie Farmer saws that he
has ma lie apple trees. which had before been
bIrren. come into full bearing by hacking the
bark of them with cone knife. Another
pcrs has made his plum trees bear by boring
a hole into them with an augur and putting
in sulphur and plugging it up Many per
sons are disposed To treat all such stories with
ridicule, but there is, no doubt, scientific
basis of truth underlying them.
1t Is understood by naturalists that the
buds of fruit trees when first formed, usually
the season before they open, are not fully or
ganized either as wood buds or blossom buds.
and are capable of being developed into either
Anything that tends to a vigorous growth of
wood, tends t. develop those buds into leaves
and wood, and whatever checks this wood
growth tends to develop the buds into fruit
buds.
DIsBARKISG TREES.
1t is a process described in English books,
and sometimes practised in this country, 10
entirely peel the trunks of fruit trees i'll mid
summer. to induce fruitfulness in future
years. We have seen large apple trees,
foot in diameter. entirely deprived of their
bark as high up as man could reach, and
down to the ground. They not only lived,
hut became fruitful. In tie longest days of
the year. just when the alburnum new sap
wood Is forming. tree may thus he disbarked
without killing it, and the effect being TO
check the growth, the process is very likely
T. bring the tree into bearing Every farmer
has noticed that young tree split by the
plow, or otherwise injured, usually blossoms
and bears. and old. halfdead trees often bear
abundantly. and all because, as in root-prun-
ing check is given to the growth of the
wood and the buds dPVclOped into bios
SONS AMI fruit. Bending down the branches
of tree often produces the same effect, and
rapidly growing young orchard may be
sometimes brought into full bearing by lay
ing the land t. grass, and thus checking the
luxuriOusness of its growth.
