week amongst the wheat-raisers, and find
the promise above an average; crops
nearly all promise good berry and well
filed heads, but the straw and heads are
both short, and in few instances the
stand is thin, either from seed not com

much larger breadth in wheat this year
than usual, and there viii be still ARE

1t is encouraging TO see the pains
that have been taken with SEED to have
crops as free of foul mater as they are.
When our farmers furnish themselves
with suitable agricultural implements, and
study the nature of the soil, adapting
crops to the soil, they viii find farming
pleasant and profitable, and not near as
laborious as it has been heretofore; but in
their anxiety TO get improved implements,
don't let them be too crazy and allow
themselves to be humbugged.

Conf Ashes for Corn

w. S. Smelly, Leonville, Pa, whites
TO the American Farmers Club: Last
winter we saved our coal ashes, sitting
them and keeping them dry till spring,
when we mixed with about half their bulk
of ground plaster, aud when the corn was
well through the ground, set boy 10 put
ting the mixture on the hills, at the rate
of about half handful TO each hill, going
over about half the field of twelve acres,
and thought nothing more of it until har-
rowing time, when | noticed in crossing
the field, very distinct difference in the
appearance of the corn that where the
ashes and plaster had been applied being
very dark and healthy, the other part pale
and feeble. However, the whole field
made very fair crop for a dry season,
put am satisfied that that part where the
plaster and ashes were applied made fifty
bushels more shelled corn than where
there was none-and the ashes were coal
ashes. Plaster alone had never acted so
well for US.

Treatment and management c
Horses.

| When horse refuses to eat, he should
not be made to do any more service that
day, for it may be known that he is tired
out or sick. 1t is barbarous to compel a
horse to perform labor when in such 8
condition that he refuses gram, yet it is
often done, and by men, toe, who think
| they are merciful.
For a horses cough, mix up an ounce
of extract of bellad0nna in half pound
of molasses and smear tablespoonful of
the mixture on the horses tongue three or
four times day. There should be
enough to last for week. Avoid feed
ing dusty hay or oats, as food of that
kind is apt to produce irritation of the
lungs.
The Ne,o England Fdy1ler gives the
following as remedy for film on an ami
mails eye: Pound and rub alum into a
powder, making it as fine as -four; fill a
common goose quill partly full with it, and
from that blow it into the eye. But if
the eye be bruised by blow, that is an
other matter, and the alum would prob
ably do no good.
The first effort in treating a horse for
worms should be to restore or improve
the vigor of the system by nutritious food;
give also bran mash twice week. OF
pure medicine administer pint ard a
half of linseed oil, and repeat the dose
every ten days for three times. Give also
a drachm of powdered sulphate of iron
every night for fortnight.
A writer in the Turf, Field and Farm
says: ''There are, of course, various
forms of colo, and a protracted attack
will often produce complications which
require skillful treatment and the pres
ence of veterinary surgeon. The rene
dies here offered are for the most frequent
and easily distinguished cases of flatulent
collie. One simple remedy, frequently
very effectual, is two ounces or four ia
blespoonfuls of saleratus in pint of
strong ginger tea; another, a pint of warm
salt water, with an enema of the same;
the injections will often bring away large
volumes of wind; another, one ounce of
camphorated spirits in a pint of sweet
ened water. These may be obtained in
town or country at almost every house,
when other prescriptions requiring pre-
paration may not be easily got.n

like his master. A nervous, timorous
man is almost sure to have skittish
horse, shying at everything unsteady, and
a runaway if he get chance. Many
COW is spoiled by lack Of patience in
the mixer, and the amount of milk de-
ponds more upon the mixer than the pas
turage. If man be afraid of horse,
the animal knows it before hegoes into the
stable. We have seen the most inof-
fensive in the herd so wrought upon by
the nervousness of greenhorn son of
Erin as to dexterously plant her foot in
his breast and send him rolling heels ever
head. A noisy, boisterous fellow about
fattening stables will cause a serious loss
in gain of flesh to the animals, 50 impor-
tant is quiet to them when they are d.
costing their food.

most Washing, corn and tobacco and cot.
ton ere the greatest staples we cultivate.
That the soil so laid bare, md by the con.
slant stirring of it, which is required to
bring the crops to perfection, thus turn
ing up from week TO week fresh soil foI
the sun 10 act upon, should rapidly be-
come exhausted, is a fact which ought 10
excite no wonder, and which experience
fully a;tests.
The remedy lies IN alternating cultiya
ted crops with shade crops-or falling
these in mulching-that is, by spreading
| over the soil refuse straw or corn stalks
or dead leaves, and pine skaters from the
! woods, and covering the entire surface
with these rough, fibrUus material to the
extent of the ability of the farmer or
planter. But the cheaper and better pro-
c-ss is to grow clover and grass crops
clover especially-n0t cutting 1t, but let
ting it fall and shade and re-secd the
ground. In this case, clover which is
allowed to go to seed, does not seriously
exhaust the soil, for the roots and
stems and leaves and the shade which
in falling they give, amply compensate
for the drain which the seed makes up
on the organic and inorganic substances
the soil has furnished. Those, however,
who object to letting clover run to seed,
may turn it under at the time of blossom
ing, and if the stand has been heavy
one, the renovation of the soil will be
greater than by liberal dressiLS of ma
nure. But there are soils, too many of
them, which even in our latitude, will not
grow clover without help. To such, of
course, the means of growing clover must
be supplied. In the foremost rank of
these stands lime-either shell or stone,
and next to lime mari; the latter fire.
quently contains notable amount of
potash, and in this case its action is al
most immediate. The second year after
lining small sprinkling of manure will
have great effect-or, better still, a good
quantity of superphosphate, containing
also small per centage of potash and
ammonia. One hundred and fifty pounds
of such superphosphate applied to field
lined two years previously, will produce
a heavy stand of clover on soil that was
previously very poor. At the far South,
and especially in the cotton States, it is
difficult, however, TO grow clover; resort
there must be had to the field pea. Tie
latter answers a similar purpose, covers |
the soil well, and when turned under fer
tiiizes it greatly. But the main consider |
ations in the process of preserving and |
renoyating our soil, are that they shall be
kept shaded as much as possible during |
the summer months. Grass and clover, |
or pea crops, constitute the most econom-
icAl means of renovating them, and also
of protecting them, through the shade
which they give to the soil, and therefore
into every system of good farming they
ought TO enter largely.-MdryLdnd Far
