LoNDoNs December 21.- President
Johnson's full message has arrived.
The Times refers to the Presidents
stubbornness; denounces his repudia-
ton proposition and approves the
Senate's and Houses disposition Of
the document.
The long struggle between the
Magyars and the Slavi of Croatia has
been happily settled, and the depu-
ties OF Croatia have taken their seats
in the Hungarian Diet amid immense
enthusiasm. Thus the Russian party,
which aims at union of all the Aus
trian Slavi with Russia, has for the
present been defeated; but, the Pan
slavic agitation win undoubtedly con-
tinue and lead to new complications.

Curing Hay. Salt, and Lime.

Mr.. BRowN noticed in the Nt,o Eng
land Fa, mer, under date of August l., 1867 :,
an improved method to me, of curing hay,
viz: four quarts of lime and two quarts OF
salt. 1t appeared from the same paper, that
you also put down one square IN the same
way. Please state the particulars in regard
to the value of the hay, compared with that
cured by the common mode. What becomes
Of the lime? Is it all taken up by the hay,
and therefore into the animals stomach? If
20, such quantities of lime good for
animals ? e. GRAHAM.
Ftchburg, Mass. June 2, 1868.
REMARKs.-The grass upon which we put
the salt and lime was cut upon a lawn, was
MT more than five inches high, very juicy,
and consequently difficult to cure. 1t was
dried as well as the weather would permit,
but when put into the barn was damp and
heavy. The lime and salt mixture was added
as the hay was slowed away. On examining
it several times, no heat or musty smell was
found. 1t had not, however, the sweet and
fragrant odor tnat well made bay usually has.
We should recommend the use of the lime
and salt only where it is found necessary to
put hay into the barn imperfectly cured.
Nothing add value to the richness and
flavor of English hay that is well made.
A lot of grass cut from the same lawn
about fourteen days previously was dried out
Of doors well as the unfavorable condition
of the weather would permit, was taken to
the barn and spread over the empty floor e"d
S4-.l TAIds hut ~, pitt Of nequent turning
and attention, grew musty, and was essenti-
ally injured.
The salt and lime probably attract the
moisture in the hay to themselves. When
the hay was fed out, some portion of the
lime was found to fall out in fine dust,
while pitching it over.
4 correspondent Of the Utica Herald, Mr..
&. Lampher, Of West Martinsburgh, N. Y,
who used 9 less than bushel of lime on
forty tons of hay" put in the bays two
years ago, while that in sheds was not lined,
says that the lined hay came out all bright,
but dusty. Stock eat it well, but when his
cows come in, in the spring, they did not
give much milk they did the spring be-
fore, or this spring, although they were mess
ed with better grain for milk than they have
| been this spring. One of his horses has the
| heaves, and cannot work on the lined hay
without wetting, while other hay affects it
very little; his other horse has no heaves nor
| cough, but can eat the lined hay but few
days without coughing badly. He has some
| Of the hay now, but cannot feed without
wetting. In this case it appears that the
| lime was used without salt.

How TO FIND AND TEST PEAT.-The for
nation of peat generally takes place in
depressed surface, nearly or quite surrounded
with rim of rock or dry soil. 1t seems to
require the effect of standing water. Some
times n bed of peat is SO wet and soft that it
has to be dipped out and thrown upon the
ground to dry, before it can be handled.
Most generally it is Overgrown with coarse
grass or sedge, sometimes with alders, or even
larger trees. If the ground shakes as you
walk over it, there is probably peat below :;
and one way to determine the presence of
peat is by thrusting pole into the bog IF
the pole penetrates easily there is a promise
of peat. Observe what sticks to the pole,
and if it is soft and smooth, and feels greasy
it is peat, Run gun barrel or other long
tube into it and push out what it brings up,
leaving the layers as unbroken as possible
When it is partly dry see if it cuts like cheese,
and when fully dry if it cuts like chocolate.
Mash it with the blade of knife, and see if
it is free from grit Try if it will burn freely,
and observe how much ashes it leaves. Pare
off the grass and fbrous material from the
top. foot deep or more, and then cut out
some blocks with a spade, the size of bricks,
and dry and try them, and if they will burn
in the crate, or in heap out doors, they are
peat; if they burn with but little smoke and
down to light ashes, they are good peat If
you have only muck, SO poor in carbon as to
burn imperfectly, it is worthless as peat for
fuel. Unless the signs are very clear and
the experiment quite satisfactory, it will be
prudent to have the place examined by some
body who understands peat, or at least to send
some specimens to an expert to be tested be-
fore going to the expense of setting up ma
chinery to it. A good test is to cut up few
cords in blocks, dry them and use them for
fuel in your house you will then see how
clear they burn. and how much heat they
yield.-.Ve,o York EUening Post.

preventive AGAINST THE TURNIP Fly
A great many remedies and methods have
been suggested to prevent the attacks of the
turnip fly, when the plants are in an early
stage OF growth. One method, which has
proved of considerable service, is that OF
stepping the seeds in oil, and then busting
them with sulphur just before sowing.
Another remedy is, that of mixing lime and
SCOT together and busting the plants This
mixture has proved very etfectual in protect
ing the young plants as they put out the first
leaves. Little damage is done by the turnip
fly after the rough leaves are formed but
it's place is filled by other insects that feed
on the leaves, the most common of which is
the black beetle The best and most effect
ual way to get rid of all insects, is to push
forward the growth of the plants by manures
applied at the time the seed is sown.-Er

HEATING MANUREs IN THE HILL FOR PoTA-
ToEs.-The use of hen-manure compost, nightr
soil, or even barn-yard manure, in the hill O.
drill with potatoes, is rarely or never advisa-
BILE. 1t is much better to distribute it evenly
through the soil. The best practice is to use
no fermenting manure, except such as might
have been incorporated with the soil the
autumn previous. Wood-ashes and plaster,
either or both, produce almost invariably
good effects. Caster pumace and fish guano,
both oil manures, may, perhaps, be regarded
as exceptions to the rule. No fermenting
manures in the hill for potatoes though
they frequently produce good crops.

are likely to get the start of the corn if great
diligence ia not used An excellent method
to check the weeds at the outset, and at the
same time to loosen up the soil which has
been packed down hard by the driving show
ers, is to go over the corn-felds with light
harrow, Just as the corn is coming out of the
ground 1t will do no injury to the young
corn, but will prove great benefit by loosen
ing the earth around it, and at the same time
will give the weeds backset that they will
not get over the whole season.

ADVANTAGES OF SUBsoILING.-The subsoil
plough has now become one of the most i'm
portant implements upon the farm. 1t is
used to run in the bottom Of the furrow, be-
fore the potato is dropped, to loosen the earth
under the seed, to admit the air, and after
the potatoes are up, one-horse subsoil plough
is run between the rows, and when properly
done, it is equal to trenching with spade.
1t is also run between the rows of corn, when
the corn is about four inches high. This will
lift the soil slightly, and also the young corn
plants. but will not separate the particles of
earth from the roots This will be more
thorough disturbance OF the soil than dozen
hoeings, and will permit the corn roots to
descend in search of food In raising carrots,
beets, and turnips, in heavy ground. it is

How TO GET Bio CRoPs.-As a rule, far
mers are much more anxious to get big prices
than big crops. There are few farms whose
average production could not be doubled in a
very short time by more capital and labor.
1t is safer to use capital in farming than in
almost any other business. The credit of the
plough is quite as good that of the loom
or the anvil, and the capital will come if it is
called for. Use more manure, and get thirty
bushels of wheat where you now get fifteen,
and eighty bushels of corn where you now
get forty. The quantity of grain grown per
acre is mainly question of manure and TIL
lage. A big compost heap makes full
grain-bin. With high manuring. the soil
needs deeper stirring, and gradual bring
ing up of the subsoil to the surface. With
the present horse harrows and cultivators
nearly all the cultivation can be done by
horsepower, at great saving of expense,
and a great increase of the crops. plan for

To KEEP BUTTER CooL.-Place cake of
butter in a saucer, and set it upon COM
mon dinner plate. Pour the plate full Of
water, but not high enough to run into the
saucer, and place over the butter common
porous fiower-pot which is just large enough
to surround the saucer and stand in the water.
If the fower-pot has a hole in the bottom,
close it with a cork. Set it all in cool place,
and occasionally drench the whole with cold
water. If it is arranged in the morning, and
properly attended to during the day, the but
ter for tea will be nearly firm as if kept in
an ice house If the fower-pot be wrapped
with cloth, it will be still better.
