Goahlaao,R Road sasotsys,.

A locomotive for ordinary roads is in
operation at Leith, Scotland, which, by its
peculiar construction, is said to have salts
factorily solved the question Of steam trac-
ton on common roads. The wheel and its
tire consist Of a broad iron tire with narrow
flanges, upon which is placed ring of soft
vulcanized India-rubber, of about twelve
inches wide and five inches thick, which
thus surrounds the iron tire, and is kept in
its place by the dangcs then over the Inoia-
rubber there is placed an endless chain of
steel plates. which is the portion Of the wheel
that comes into actual contact with the
rough road, the reticulated chain being con
nected by sort Of vertebra at each side OF
the wheel. The Inlia-rubher tire aud this
ring of steel plates have no rigid connection,
but are at perfect liberty to move round as
they please without consulting each other,
Or even without the concurrence of the inner
ring Of the wheel which they both enclose.
The reason wing this wheel is SO efficient IS
because the soft India-rubber allows it to
fatten upon the road, whether rough Or
smooth. The wheel being circle, if it is
a rigid structure, presents but small sur
face, but this wheel conforms to every IT.
regularity for sp@ce of nearly two feet by
the weight Of the engine causing the India
rubber to collapse, and SO producing O
change of form. Experiments prove that it
would easily drag train Of wagons con-
tanning ten tons Of -four, besides their own
weight, on a slippery street up gradient
of about in Il, and then down on the
other side, no breaks being required. It
also traversed the seashore at the rat Of ten
miles an hour, over soft, sinking ground,
over some quicksands, and into the sea and

In the report of the Rochester Farmers
Club, given in the An1ericGn FdrD1eT,
Mr.. Quinby, of Irondequoit, says that
during the past three years he has drawn
10000 bushels of leached ashes on his
farm, and spread at the rate of 200 to 500
bushels per acre. He has thus ashed 40
acres. He says the application has
doubled his wheat crop, and greatly in
creased the grass. He could see a great
difference in the growing wheat where
the land had been enriched by ashes and
where it has not. His land is light. He
had seen ashes applied to heavy land with
little benefit. At the same meeting,
Mr. Little, of Henrietta, said he had ap-
Piled a quantity to one of his fields, the
soil being heavy. He thought the me-
chanical effect was bad, making the clay
soil more heavy than before. And yet,
the Ightness and heayiness of the soil
has not all to do with il. We have seen
ashes both useful and of no value on light
soils; and then some opposite results on
heavy soils. A nursery of standard pear
trees, on strong soil, was doubled in
growth by an application of ashes; a
similar application in another locality,
where the soil appeared to be quite SINH
lar, produced no perceptible result. Asa
general rule, ashes, both leached and I'M
Ieached, are useful; sometimes eminently
SO; but the only way TO determined what
extent, is to give them a careful trial,
measuring the results.

Feeding Farm Horses.

Dr. NJ w. Philips, editor of the SOLth-
ern Farmer, gives his experience in feed
ing farm horses as follows:
'1f a proper economy would be prac-
uced in this, II would most assuredly re-
suit in not only a large saving-say at
least IS per CCnt-but would enable the
stock to perform more labor and not be
subject TO the bots, alias collie. In the
next place, not only is the consumption
less, but an article for forage, supplying
she place of the best and costly hay, can
be substituted. We affirm of what we
know, and from strict trial, without
using weighed food We have used oat
straw, rye straw, shucks and fodder, all
cut up and mixed together, with an
occasional bundle of fodder. This is
moistened with a weak brine, and packed
down in box, from night to noon and
from noon TO night, if fed twice day !;
and from night to morning, and morning
to noon, ETC., if fed three times a day.
When feeding, add ground corn, not
meal, but coarse hominy. Some persons
think the hominy is masticated better,
though we always had coarse meal and
wetted with the cut stuff. We had ouI
own mill, and we believe our work horses
kept in better condition with two bushels
of corn, ground, than with three bushels
of corn and fodder 20 waste. We would
say positively there was a saving of one
fourth corn, and the cut stuff less than
half the value of fodder or up-cOuntry
hay. Generally oat and rye straw arr
considered of but little value. Wealways
housed ours, never stacking anything.
And shucl1s are also thrown away. Ii
this be economy, we would like to know
what is waste. -

IguGfer Making.

We notice in the New England Farmer
an interesting communication from A. w.
Cheever, Esq, of Massachusetts,, on the
subject of making butter, some Of the
main points of which viii be found an
neXed:
SHUTTER is composed of fat or oil,
caseine or curd and water. Good butter
should contain at least 81 per cent Of fat
or oil. The oil or fat of butter, like lard
and other fat, is composed OF solid or
margarine fat, and liquid or oleine fat.
Winter butter contains, according TO Prof.
Thompson, of solid fat, 60 parts in 100,
while summer butter contains only 40
parts. This fact explains the reason why
cream should be churned at different tenn
peratures in different seasons of the year.
1t should always be churned at such tenn
perature that when it does come it will
gother well. Not so cold that the butter
will be in crumbs that will not stick to-
gether, nor so warm as TO be greasy.
Fresh, sweet cream will not churn as
quickly as that which is sour. In winter

Mr.. ]. M. d. Miller, of Iuka, Miss,
communicates 10 the Southern CttItivo-
tor some suggestions in regard to the
cultivation of the blackberry which we
desire to impress upon the readers of this
paper Mr.. Miller says:
''This excellent fruit is very much neg
lected, partly owing to the superior wild
ones; yet it really merits attention. The
close observer win see that some ripen
much earlier than others; some one supe-
rior in size and flavor BY marking such
when in fruit, they could be easily trans
planted in the fall, thoroughly cultivated
and tested, and the experimenter might
be rewarded by the discovery of a berry
superior to that of the Early Wilson,
Kittatinny, or Missouri Mammoth; three
well known and highly popular varieties,
extensively cultivated for market in the
North and East, especially in New Jersey,
where less than half of one plantation, of
the Wilson Early, yielded, at the first
picking, July 13, 300qts., 18th /, 800, nth
5000 and goth 5000 quarts, which was
sold at 20 to 10 cents, paying the ener-
getic grower the handsome sum of 81 800
fer one days sale OF blackberries, of one
kind. This berry was discovered by John
Wilson, in 1854 Il seems to be hybrid
Seeding, between the high and low bush;
the trailing shoots roofing occasionally at
the tips, like raspberries, the high ones
growing erect. The fruit is very large,
one and ahalf inches long and one inch in
diameter. II ripens Very early, is pro-
ductive and of fine appearance and good
quality. The Kittatinny is not quite so
early, but more productive. The Mis-
souri, Mammoth is very large and was
found as a chance Seeding in the State
that gives its name 1t has not been cul-
tivated yet so extensively as either of the
Others. The White Blackberry is quite a
novelty, as well as a contradiction in
terms. II is superior TO the black in
sweetness and delicacy of taste, rather
earlier and has less core. All of these
may be obtained at very trifling cost in
most of the nurseries South. A better
than either might be produced by planting
choice, early wild ones. j"
If there has been SO great impro vement
made in other fruits by attention, why
not in the blackberry? We trust some of
the fruit growers around Nashville viii
experiment with the blackberry next sum
mer and fall, and give the result next
year TO the public.
