ure well. II is better to have one.half
an acre of soil well managed, than ten
acres tmpertectly work ed and manured.
4srequtres no more labor to manage
one acre OF land that will produce fifty-
bushels OF shelled corn, than it does to
manage one that will yield but twenty
hve. IL is acknowledged to be poor
policy to half feed our domestic ami
mails, and why should it not be consId-
cred equally. absurd and judicicus to
half sstarve our corn and other crops.
which we rely upon chiefly to feed us.
WOOD DAsHEs.-Every bushel of wood
ashes applied to the corn crop is worth
one dollar. The truth of this assertion,
has been repeatedly demonstrated by
the result OF experiments accurately
conducted. On all light soils, the ac-
tion of ashes Is highly energetic and
sal lutary; they exert warming and
tnvigorating influence, and promote
the rapid growth of almost every
species tproduction.
SALT OR MEAL BoxEs,-Domesticl
animals should never be fed with grain |
or supplied with salt on the ground or
noor OF the manger. Boxes for the pur-
Poset formed OF wood, should be pro-
yideds and kept constantly on hand,
ready for use, They cost but mere
trihe, and may be constructed by any
person possessing ordinary ingenuity. |
In form they should be something ike |
troughs-small at bottom
and large at top, with plank bottom
sufficiently large and heavy to obvi-
ate the liability of their being over |
turned by the animals whilein use. A |
set OF Well constructed feeding boxes,
II painted and carefully taken care of, |
last many years.
CHARCOAL FOR SwINE.-In every hog
pen there should be trough, in which |
there should be deposited weekly, al
quantity ofchnrcoal. The hog eagerly
devours this substance, and is prestiy
oenehtted and strengt by Us con.
stant use. 1t prevents many unpleas.I
ant diseases and: contributes largely to /
the fatty seoretons.
BRnISToNE FOR SwINE,-A few
spoontuls of pulverized birthstone, or
Hour of sulphur, in little dough,
should be administered as often as once
fortnight to swine while fatteninR,-
