Every farmer should keep a scrap book Of
some kind, in which a certain portion should
be devoted to each particular object in which
he is interested For instance, SO many
pages to wheat, SO many to other grains, so
many to horses, so many to cattle, sheep,
fruit growing, manures, dairy management,
etc: etc. Then, when reading the farmers
column of any agricultural paper, something
strikes the mind as especially valuable, cut
it out and insert it i'll its proper department
of the book. In a few years a valuable en-
cpclopedia Of agriculture will have been
gathered, to which reference on any topic
can readily be made.

USE OF TuRN1ps.-The great root of mod
ern agriculture for cattle feeding is the
Swedish turnip Nine times as much food
in weight of Swedes, can be raised on an
acre as can be raised of hay with the same
condition Of land, and each pound of the hay
finds its equivalent, in n%utritiye properties
in three pounds Of turnips, 1t is manifest
ly to the interest of those farmers who keep
stock over winter to feed turnips. t

How TO SAVE WATER.-The intense heat

all ponds, springs and streams intended for

by surrounding them with trees suitable for

HEAvEs IN HoRsEs.-A correspondent
writes: Seeing spearmint and other articles
recommended for horses, prompts me to
mention my experience with another valua-
BILE herb in the cure of this distressing and
troublesome complaint. Feed no hay to
the horse for thirty-six or forty-eight hours.
and give only a pailful of water at a time.
Then throw an armful of well cured smart
weed before him, and let him eat all he will.
In all cases where the cells of the lungs are
not broken down, great relief if not a perfect
cure will follow. | have seen a horse, with
che heaves as bad as [ ever saw, cured by
one dose. Smartweed is valuable for many
purposes, and should be laid away for use
when needed.

MEDICAL PROPERTIES OF CELERY.-A
correspondent of the Practical Farmer says:
Il have known as many men, and women
too, who, from various causes, had become
so much affected with nervousness that when
they stretched out their hands they shook
like aspin leaves on windy days-and by a
daily moderate use of the blanched foot stalks
of the celery leaves as a salad they became
as strong and steady in limbs as other peo-
pie. l have known others SO very nervous
that the least annoyance put them in a state
of agitation, and they were almost in con-
slant p~erplexity and fear, who were effectu-
ally cured by a daily moderate use of
blanched celery as a salad at meal tines
| have known others cured by using celery
for palpitation of the heart"

FARM AND FIRESIDE.

THE PARsNIP.-The parsnip is one ofthe
valuable roots that can be grown. In the
Island Of Jersey it is used almost exclusive
ly for fatte1ing both cattle and swine, Ac-
cording to Le-Conteur the weight of q good
crop varies from thirteen to twenty seven
tons per acre. When parsnips are given to
mich COWS, with a little hay, in the winter
season, the butter is found to be of as fine q
color and excellent favor as when the ami
mails are feeding in the best pasturage AS
parsnips contain six per cent. more muci-
lage than carrots, the difference may be suAi-
Gent to account for the superior fattening as
well as butter making qualities of the par
snip. In the fattening of cattle the parsnip
is found superior to the carrot, performing
the business with more expedition, and af-
fording meal of exquisitive and juicy flavor;
the animals eat it with much greediness.-
The result of experiment has shown thatnot
only in neat cattle, but in the fattening @;
hogs and poultry, the animals become fat
much sooner, and are more healthy than
when fed with any other root or vegetable,
and that, besides, the meat is more sweet
and delicious. The parsnip leaves being
more bulky than those of the carrots, may
be mown off before taking the roots, and
given to oxen, COWS or horses, by which they
will be greedily eaten. Another thing in
favor of parsnips for this country is, that the
frost does not injure them. They remain
i'll the ground until spring, when they mako
splendid feed, at a time every other kind Of
root or green thing is scarce or they may
be slightly buried, where they can be Oh
tanned almost any time during the winter,
