Sow Corn for Fodder.

Dairymen should remember that sowed
corn, as fall feed for mich cows, has re-
ceived the endorsement of the majority Of
the profession for years. 1t is grown with
the greatest ease, and yields most profusely.
1t is rich, succulent, and consequently Just
the thing for cows at the time when pastures
begin to fail in the fall. 1t may be sown
either broadcast or in drills. The common
varieties are usually sown, but at the Bel
videre Convention sweet CORE was very
highly spoken Of There is no doubt ii
yields the richest food. The next best il
probably some variety of the flint corn,
Cut and well cured before frosts, there is nc
better winter fodder, and there is nothing
that can be produced more pro6tably. All
kinds of stock will eat it with ayidity. A
dairy farm at the East without its patch d
sowed corn is an exception. Western dairy
men will find full 81 much need for fall
feed, and we know of nothing better to re
commend to their notice. Sow from two t.
three bushels Of corn per acre, if broadcast
and cover with the cuItivator. -PRAIRIH

Seed Oorn---Test It.

| AS corn planting time draws near, far
mers should be looking after their seet
corn. 1t is astonishing how much of thu
deficiency of the corn crop is dependent
each year, upon the large amount of pool
seed that is planted. There are some whs
seem never to have good seed but go al
it with such as they may chance to take
from III. constructed bins, trusting to Prov.
idence for the result. Here and there O
hill OF sickly plants, after due waiting, is
seen, and second planting is resorted to.
| The field lacks uniformity aud beauty the
whole season. 1t is unsatisfactory work to
cultivate it, and worst of all, there is but
small crop at harvest time Care in
saving seed corn in the fall, care in curing
1T, care in keeping it properly through the
winter-the whole but trihe-and all this
| disappointment is avoided. But for this
season it matters but little to talk about it,
What we want now is to hint at a little
effort toward saving from failure with the
seed that is on hand. If there is the least
doubt about the corn terminating, test ii
before you consign it to the ground. Put
sample oft in some moist well pulver-
lied earth, and set near the fire for few
days, keeping it slightly moist with tepid
water. Ii only portion terminates, throw
your corn aside, and buy Of your neighbor,
or some else that has perfect seed corn.
Many planters assure us that seed corn
soaked over night in coperas water will be
free from the ravages of the wire worm.
Others dissolve tar in hot water-sAy q
pint OF tar Ia water to cover bushel or so
of Commissioning that it will save it from
birds, gophers &C.; but authorities differ
SO much as to the feasibility of ''doctoring''
seed corn in any manner, that we do not
advise farmers to practice it, except te
satisfy themselves, whether it is beneficial
or ot.-PrGirie Farmer.

Grating.

The editor of the Germantown Telegraph
who is good authority on the subject, gives
the following rules for grating;
AS the time is now here when graft
ing will be in order, we will repeat our for
m er advice, that every farmer should DE-
his own grating 1t is very easy opera
ton when once understood, and this is read
lily done by seeing the operation.
A sharp pen. knife and good fine saw
are Indispensable Splitting the stalk SC
that the bark shall not be bruised-and
shaping the scion wedge fashion both ways
preserving also the bark uninjured-and
placing the rim of the wood of both stock
and scion exactly together, SO that the saE
can intermingle-there is 40 danger Of fail
ure if properly waxed. We make shout
der to the graft, and think it adds to the
certainty of success, though probably
weakeus it. We prefer, also, two eyes OF
buds to graft, and would rather have only
one than three. One years wood shoulc
always be used when it can be OBJ
tanned, and it is more certain to take, anG
grows more vigorously.
We wish to remind those preparing graft
ing wax, that we have found parts of rosin
one part Of bsaswax, and one part of bee
tallow, to be the best proportions. Mel
them together in skillet (Which is tn
best,l or in tin cup and mix we'll |

grating is to be done, little fire for heat

between two bricks or stones.

"Why, when the Yankees FIRST began to

Bones for Fowls.

Bones usually have attached to them a
quantity of flesh and fat, which renders
them valuable The fat enables the fowls
to resist the cold; the flesh gives them
muscle and material for the formation Of
eggs, the carbonate of lime furnishes egg
shells, and the phosphate yields materials
for bones and for the tissues
A boy can, in few minutes, chop up
with Ratchet all the lesser bones that come
from the table, and we regard them as very
valuable If we were to start a poultry es.

certainly make arrangements to rosure al

COOPERATIVE FARMING. Halibur-
ton Cooperative Farm, near the village oil
Halliburton, Peterborough county, Canada
West, advertises in English papers for emi
grants. It offers them board at cost price,
payment lor I'll labor they may preform,
and a share in the profits at the close Of the
year.
The plan of the owners is that carried
out by several large manufacturing estab-
lishments in England, which reserve from
the net proceeds over labor, depreciation of
stock, &C.. certain per centage as fair
profit on the capital, and divide the remain
der among the laborers in proportion to the
amount they may have individually earned
through the year. The proprietors also
rate themselves as laborers, and charge the
time employed in suprintendence or bust,
ness negotiations. They are thus freed
from strikes, and large percentage Of
We ate and drainage is avoided, owing to
each workman having personal interest in
economy.
Several quite successful enterprises Of
the kind have existed some years in Scot
land, the shares Of which are in great de-
mand
Small attempts exist in France, under
the title OF metairies; but under different
regulations. A report of the Association
for the Progress of Economic Agriculture in
Austria states that in several villages the
principle of industrial partnership has been
applied, which enables laborers to partici
pate in the profits of land cultiva.

Fnrners Clubs.

Probably there is on one thing else that
is SO beneficial to the rapid development Of
agriculture as are Farmers Clubs when
rightly conducted There farmers meet
and discuss the probabilities of the coming
season, and expose the failures and success
ses of the past and among 80 many expo
rienced in agriculture, it would be sing llar
if many useful suggestions were not given
by the practical farmer.
Another fact is noticeable in the commu-
nifty where Farmers Clubs are organized,
and that is, that agricultural newspapers
are very extensively taken, thus producing
another benefit, that localities less enter
prising are apt to pass as expensive luxu-
ries, while they would save perhaps, hum
dreds Of dollars yearly, by timely hints
found therein. Our conviction is that when
clubs are formed and rightly conducted in
every farming community in the country.
agriculture will take gigantic strides for
ward in all important points and the
knowledge that is possessed by the few sue
cessful agricultursts at the present time
will be known to all, and successful farm.
ing will meet our eyes on every hand.
Members Of different clubs, should visit
each often, that more complete diffusion
OF information on important subjects may
follow. .re..

your interests and that of-the whole ooun-

ICELAND. In the cold North Sea, little
below the Arctic Circle, lies the island
called Iceland. Presenting somewhat the
the form of an irregular ellipse it occupies
an area of about thirty seven thousand
square miles, aifording the dull diversity o.
valleys without verdure, aad mountains
without trees. Desoation has here fixed
it's abode. 1t broods among the deIls, anC
looks dowa upon the fords. The rocks
and hillsidos are sculptured with signs Of
an ingenious origin, while the whole island
| is still the sport of cenvulsion. The ground
trembles with the throes of the earthquake;
the Geyser spouts scalding water the
plain belches mud, while the great Jokull,
clad in robes of eternal snow-true priest
of Ormuzd-brandishes aloft its volcanic
| torch, and threatens to become the iDcen.
diary Of the sky.
The interior of the island ia traversed
with difficulty, even during the summer.
! Here may be seen peaks that the Alpine
Club dare not climb. The scanty popula-
ton dwell in thinly settled hamlcts along
the banks Of the fiords and streams, leaving
the greater portion to the fox, the reindeer,
and the occasional Greenland bear that
floats over on the berg. Only two quadru-
peds-the mouse and the fox--are indigo
nous. So sterile is the soil, and SO brief
the summer sun, that life is supported only
by struggle. Indeed the neighboring
ocean is more hospitable than the dry land;
for Of the thirtyfou species of mammalia,
twenty four draw their food from the soa.
The same is true of the birds, fifty -four Of
the ninety species being waterfowl Here
and there may be seen patches of meadow,
a few pastures, and tracts of arabic land
yet. SO poor is the soil, that man, like the
lower orders, must exc out his subsistence
by resorting to the sea.-R0und Table.

steam-PlOw Experiments in California.
The steam plow or cultivator, had another
trial at Martinez last week, and a more sat
isfactory one than the FIRST The machine
is not steam plow; it is rather steam
gardener, for it dresses the soil as if it were
spaded and finely raked. Observe the stern
propeller of ship how it cuts the water
and scatters it in fine spray, circle after cir
Gle, as it moves swiftly forward. Now con-
ceive four of these abreast, attached to the
rear of a locomotive, and revolving in and
cutting the ground into spray, and you
have the idea exactly. The machine dres-
ses twelve feet wide, going over 100 feet a
minute and it seems to be competent to
dress thirty acres day, perhaps more. The
trials in Martinez were in wet adobe that
had never been cultivated. The locomotive
engine and carriage were extemporized for
the occasion, and therefore but partially
adapted to the purpose. The machine gar
deRer was attached to the rear. 1t work
cd 30 we'll that it established beyond ques-
ton the fact this now movement is exactly
adapted to the purpose intended, in that
kind of soil, aud it seems as if it should do
az well in all soils as free from stones Of any
great size. Like all first essays, it must be
supposed open to great improvements. But
what has been DONE seems to warrant our
faith in its success. - Alta Californian
