Fall Feed.

Farmers are frequently very impatient to
secure their crops, that they may give their
cutie the benefit Of the Fall Feed, which is
without doubt, of considerable advantage to
the stock. But 1t is question, with many
goad farmers, whether it is good policy to
iced the meadows late in the fall and expe-
ri, nee rather goes to show that it is detre-
mental to the land. The fine second growth
if allowed TO remain, does something toward
keeping the grass from winter killing; and
when i. goes back to the soil it affords some
nourishment. But there is probably an OBJ
lection t. feeding meadow land aside from
c0nsIdera tiOns which arise from these
iac-s Feeding has tendency to bind out
the grass. A piece of land which is fed close
every fail. VII not endure as long, as another
piece Of the same quality of soil, which is
not fed. Such considerations should lead us
70 avoid feeding land, which, from any rea.
son d. not wish to pillow.
There i in Vermont much upland Of moist
SOL, which Will continue to produce good
crops, wear after year, for an indefnit e
length of time, provided each crop is Gu t
IN good season, and the land is not fed .
Such land Is frequently poorly adopted for
blowing; and alter being once broken, will
never be as good again. l. may be cleared
Of stones and stumps. and rendered passably
smooth, but in moving 1t, We are obliged to
dispense with the machine; and it is often
advisable to do 50 and to keen it in natural
condi ion. rather than to attempt to work it
over. Such land should not be fall fed
Lands of a character little more feasible
may be worked, and smoothed, and then
stocked down, after which it is .goodpolicy t.
let it lay as long as possible. Every pre-
caution should be used to render such land
durable in its productiveness and one OF
these precautions is, to avoid feeding it.
But land which is adapted to blowing. may
be fed. and the advantage which may arise
from doing so, may more than compensate
for the Disadvantages which viii follow.

. Il is true the number OF barn cellars ID
lrapidly increasing. We are doing better in
this respect than our fathers did. We take
more Mains in individual cases to compost
and save the leaks by applying muck and
loan and leaves and sand, by which the Ii
Iquid portions are saved in many cases and 60
10 noGrish our crops.
The fertilizers produced upon the farm
differ widely in their degrees of power and
efficiency. Some of them are much richer
than Others Some of them part with their
gaseous elements more readily, or are more
soluble in water. The really valuable con-
stituents of any manure are soluble In water,
for the most part, hence exposure to rains
washes them tut, and in a vast number oil
cases they are lost forever to the soil for
which they were intended. The loss from
exposure TO rains, or to the water falling
from the caves of barns upon manure lying
in the yard is infinitely greater than that
| from evaporation by exposure to the sun and
wind The value of barn cellar consists
therefore in part, in the protection it
affords against this exposure, but it also
furnishes facilities for composing at such
times, as from rains or cold, it is not practi-
able to work exposed to the weather. A
cellar prevents the wash from the caves and
So the soluble and most valuable con-
stltuents of the manure heap. But whe1
manure is spread upon the surface as a top
dressing, the rains that wash out the soluble
elements carry them directly into the soil
where they are wanted, and If the soil ia Or
dinariiy retentive 1t has the power to hold
them. 1t is exposure in the yard, therefore,
To which We object, rather than upon the
field. We, d9~not fear any great loss from
sun and wind from common yard manures
when spread upon the surface of level
field Nor is the wash by rains to be feared
there. Little or no fermentation takes place
ami SO the evaporation is slight.
But it must be evident to every thinking
farmer that IN anu.e depreciates n value very
fact by being allowed ID remain in the yard
uncomposted with suitable absorbents. Care
fui. practical and scientific investigation has
shown t3is loss TO be quite two-thirds
But besides the loss and waste from neg
lect many farmers take little pains to collect
the endless variety of materials to be found
on every farm, which might easily be worked
up into good manure. The rank growth OF
weeds on sume farms should go into the hog
pen. The coarse heritage along the roadside
and the pastures. the bushes, even, when
covered with leaves, make excellent manure.
How many farmers make a practice of pick
ing up the old bones about the place 10 be
deposited in the ash barrel, where they
would in few months be softened and
broken down into valuable fertilizer ?
How many save all the ashes they make and
apply them properly? a thousand other
subs ances now 60 to waste on many farms
which should be carefully saved.-P!ough-
man.

RHEUAATfsA.-Wha hat is the matter with my
mare? She raised colt last year, has not
been in good condition since the colt was
weaned, but have worked her some. until
short time since. When l took her out of
the pasture she was very lame, hind leg was
swollen and feverish at gambrel joint. l
took some blood from the neck, and bathed
the limb with liniment. Next day another
leg was swollen, and the swelling seems to go
from one limb to another. and now she is SO
stiff that she can hardly move, with swelling
on the belly. She has no appetite and
cannot live but short time without help.

ExPxRmxNr m WHEAr.-William Otis ,
prominent farmer residing in Gates, about
two miles west of Rochester, set apart last
season q patch of ground containing seven
eouare rods for an experiment in wheat grow
ing. The wheat embraced four varieties-
California, Diehl, Sonles, and a bearded one,
name not known. 1t was planted by hand
in drills, and as it came up the plants were
from two to six inches apart. The winter
killed the California clean out, but the other
varieties grew and ripsned very well. The
yield from these seven rods of ground was
two bushels, or at the rate of nearly forty
six bushels to the acre. Where wheat is
generally drilled in as carefully as this was
it would require but about five quarts OF
seed to the acre, instead of from sixty to
eighty, as is sometimes the case in ordinary
sowing.

TaANsPLANTING FOREST TREEs.-Shortly
before cold freezing weather sets in, l take
nv tools aud wagon, with as much horse
manure with me as | think l may need,
select and dig around my tree, letting from
one to two and a half feet of ground stand
all around the tree-small trees need but
little, large ones, more. Dig trench
straight down some ten or twelve inches,
then undermine the tree to the extent OF
one-half of the block of ground, and in
digging under keep digging down, 50 as to
have the ground at the tree near the shape OF
the half of an egg. Now ELL this trench
about three parts full of the horse manure.
Next take the measure of the diameter of
the trees base, then dig holes sufficiently
large for all the trees SO prepared Fill these
also with manure, but be sure to leave some
good mellow ground in the hole to use when
planting. Next, when frozen and there is a
solid ball we throw out the manure, then
with strong lever pry out the tree, roll it
upon a sled or truck, convey to the already
dug hole, clean out the manure and some
unfrozen ground, slide in the tree, fill up
tight. / have never bad one tree miss grow
ing when thus planted 1t is no easy matter
to dig a large hole in the ground when the
same is frozen to the depth of three feet

State prayer founded never hung
such choice upon peoples tongue,
Such power 10 bless or ban,
As that which makes thy whisper Fate
For which on thee the cen turtles wait,
And destinies of man
Across the Alleghanian chain,
With groanings from land in pain,
The west-wind finds it way
Withdrawing from Missouri's food
The CRYING of thy children's blood
Is in thy ears to-day.
And unto thee In Freedoms hour
or sOrest need God gives thee power
To ruin or TO save
To wound or heal, to blight or bless
With fertile field or wilderness,
4 free home or a grave :
Then let thy virtue match thy crime,
Rise to a level with the time
And, if a son of thine
Betray or tempt thee, Brutus-like
For Fatherland and Freedom strike
As Justice gives the sign.
Wake, sleeper, from thy dream OF ease,
The great OCCASIONS forelock seize;
And let the north-wind strong,
Aud golden leaves Of autumn, be
Thy cOronaI of Victory
And thy trIumphaI song.

AGRICULTURAL JoKEs.-The Ohio Farmer
gets off the following -
Large horses generally most admired
by farmers but farmers ara most admired
who pony up.
Prospect is generally based on knowledge
and industry the swine will get most that
nose most.
Farmers are like fowls-neither will get
full crops without industry.
Because q who attends q flock of
sheep is shepard, makes it no reason
that a man who keeps COWS should be a
c0a0-ard
We like TO see farmer increase the growth
of useful plants and shrubs around his home,
but do not like to see him use rails, poles and
boards to propagate with.
The towns along the river Amazon in
South America, in the mist of the most
productive country in the world, get meat.
-four, and dried fruits from North America
and Europe, because the people are too lazy
to work.
During the harvest this year in Braemar,
Scotland, snow storm lasted several hours
the snow lay until next day and the cold was
intense.
Inc IrOste OF sept. l. anu 10 were severe
on vegetation and corn in some places in
Central Illinois, and in Iowa it was reg

seriously injuring corn, beans, vine 8, &c.
DIR. Trimble says he once a cypress
tree in the Dismal Swamp, Verginia, which
was cut down and the rings showed it was
100 years old. And this tree was growing
over another tree. which was much larger.
1t Is estimated that the rain fall in the
Northern States is forty inches, the Southern
States fifty Minnesota, Western California
and Colorado thirty, Nebraska and Utah
twenty, Kansas and Western Arizona fifteen
inches. This is general average for Sc
ri es of years.
