afternoon the family heard the reporr

not return. Search was made amidst
the greatest anxiety for bis safety
The body Of the unfortunate boy was
found lying near a fall n tree, over
which he had stepped, and in endeav-
oring to pull the gun up, the lock had
caught, and the piece was discharged,

FLIES ON HORSES.

The Massachusetts Ploughman
makes this suggestion
Csrbolic Acid Soap seems to be q most
valuable remedy for most of the troubles
and annoysnces to which farm stock is
subject. We have heard of so many
wonderful cures and benefits rendered by
it that we are beginning to be quite en-
thusisstic over it. As sheep dip, as an
exterminator of vermin, as plant wash,
as an ointment for gals and sores, in fact,
as remedy for almost every farm trouble
it has proved successful A friend of
ours few days since, being obliged to
drive valuable horse twenty or more
miles, and knowing that flies would prove
troublesome, conceived the idea that a
wash of carbolic acid soap suds over the
entire coat of the horse, would protect it
from flies. The wash was applied, and
through the day, although myriads of
flies swarmed around the horse, and even
alighted on it, not one made an effort to
draw blood.
Now, with remedy against these pests
so easily available, "a large piece of the
soap costing but few cents, and proCur-
able at almost any drug store, there is no
excuse for neglecting to provide it. Let
pail full be made and kept standing in
the stable. Whenever horse is to be
taken out, either for the road, field or
pasture, dip sponge into the suds and
moisten the animals coat with it. The
time required would not be minute, and
the cost not cent, but the benefit rem
dered to the animal would be very great.

GREEN CORY FOR FODDER.

Green corn is esteemed very highly by
dsirymen in the North for feeding pur-
poses. A correspondent of the Country
Gentleman writes: elm Concord we
furnish about 2, 900 gallons of milk day
for Boston, of quality equal to the best;
and our farmers, almost without excep-
ton, rely upon green corn for their COWS
in August and September. Ny next
neighbor says he could not keep half his
number without it. l kept eight cows in
the yard nearly a month last year, IN Au-
gust and September, and fed them almost
wholly on green corn fodder, giving them
little dry hay and no grain, and they
gave more milk than when at pasture, and
made excellent butter. We reckon sweet
corn best but usually sow the Southern
corn, because the seed of the sweet corn
is too expensive, Ihave nearly two acres
sown this year, part of which l hope to
dry and save for winter use. If there is
anything settled in my neighborhood, it is
that corn fodder is valuable for mich
cows. My own experience of twenty
years, corresponds with the general opin-
ion. 'Error of opinion, says Jefferson,
may safely be tolerated while reason is
left free to combat it ; and the wise men
of the east, who denounce corn fodder
and swamp mud as useless, create but
small ripple on the great ocean of public
opinion."

FATTENsNG HOGS.

As the season for fattening hogs is
near at hand, few words on the subject
may not be amiss. A correspondent of
the Cincinnati Gazette gives his ex-
perience as follows:
believe that hogs should be fed early.
The LIST of September is, / think, about
the best time 10 put up hogs that are to
be fattened, Many farmers do not think
of feeding hogs before the middle of
November. My experience teaches me
that more fat can be put, on hogs in Sep
TENDER and October, with certain guam
tity of corn, than could be done in No
vember and December with double the
quantity of feed. The~weather of Sep
TENDER and October is warmer, and it
does not take as much feed to go simply
for the production of heat as it does
when the weather becomes colder.
Hogs should be provided with a good
clover range through the summer and up
to the 1st of September. And through
the month of August each hog
should be fed one ear of corn twice day
to keep them thriving, and it helps to
make them gentle; and if they are run
ming out in the woods, it encourages them
to come up. Hogs, if put up September
], and well fed, ought to be ready for
slaughter by November Is. Where it is
convenient, old corn should be fed
through September. Hogs do not fatten
as fast on new as on old corn; besides, it
takes double the quantity.

WOOD ASHES.

MAN. farmers are in the habit of selling
the wood ashes that they make to SOAP
makers for fifteen to twenty cents per
bushel. Our advice is, that the next time
an ash cart comes along, the driver ex-
claiming, "Any ashes to SELF" to reply,
"No," emphatically; ''you needn't call
here again. We are not such fools as to
sell ashes at fifteen cents bushel, when
they are worth fifty cents bushel to US. ~
We'll, they are worth fifty cents a
bushel to any farmer, if they are pure
wood ashes. Coal ashes are not worth
the carting to the field. The chemical
constituents of wood ashes are silica.
alumina, oxide of iron, oxide of mangap-
csc, potash, soda, sulphuric acid, phos-
phoric acid, chloride, and carbonic acid.
These constituents are all essential to
the growth of vegetation; but potash, the
principal constituent, is the most import
ant. 1t decomposes organic substances.
aud renders many inorganic substances
soluble.
Sandy soils are benefited by the applica.
ton of wood ashes, and the following
crops are particularly increased by apply
ing ashes: potatoes, carrots, corn, beans.
peas, clover and grass generally.
a compost of hen manure, soil sad-
ashes is powerful fertilizers for Cd qA:~
Put about three parts of any finely pull
verified soil to one part of hen manure,
and two parts of unlesched wood ashes.
Mix well in March or April, wetting the
compost thoroughly; and at corn planting
1ime it will be in good condition for use.
Apply handful to hill, and the result
will be satisfactory. -RUrdliSt.
